Ye Qingqing raised an eyebrow. What a coincidence! Over the years, she and Ye Xunmei had resolved many of their misunderstandings. Although they weren't very close, they weren't completely cut off from each other either. This old scumbag had finally had a change of heart and wasn't as bad as he used to be.
Besides, her grandma and dad have already made up with the other person, so there's no point in her continuing to hold on.
"I understand, thank you for making the trip," Ye Qingqing said.
The manager left with a smile. Old Master Ye was the restaurant's god of wealth, so of course he had to treat him with respect. If he served Old Master Ye well, this god of wealth would write eloquently about their restaurant, and if the restaurant's business prospered, his year-end bonus would be generous!
“My grandfather also comes here to eat, let’s go over and say hello.”
Ye Qingqing told Lin Baiwei and the others, and then went over with Lu Mo and the little pig. She had originally planned to visit other people's homes later that evening, but since they had run into each other, she decided to say hello.
The manager led them to Ye Xunmei's private room, where the old man was having a gathering with three or four old friends, all of whom were legendary figures in Hong Kong, including writers, filmmakers, and musicians—each a pillar of the cultural scene.
"Let me introduce you, this is my granddaughter Qingqing, isn't she beautiful?"
Ye Xunmei smiled as he introduced his granddaughter to his old friends. He often boasted to them that his granddaughter was prettier than all the female celebrities in Hong Kong, and many people didn't believe him. Today, he wanted to let them see for themselves whether he was just bragging.
The old guys stared wide-eyed. "Damn, Old Ye wasn't exaggerating. This young girl is got some talent. I wonder if she's married yet?"
"These are my grandson-in-law and great-grandson. Hurry up and give them red envelopes. Don't be stingy on our first meeting," Ye Xunmei urged.
Several old men pulled out banknotes from their pockets, all quite generous, starting with a thousand yuan, indicating they were not short of money.
Zhou Yueyun and the others waited for a while, but Ye Qingqing and the others still hadn't returned, so they couldn't help but start discussing it.
"Could Qingqing be some rich girl from around here? She speaks the local dialect quite fluently, and even the milk tea shop owner knows her. She must have been staying here for quite a while," Zhou Yueyun guessed.
Du Guoqiang shook his head, "No, I heard from Grandma Pig that Ye Qingqing and President Lu are childhood sweethearts and have known each other since they were little. President Lu is a native of Pingjiang, which means Ye Qingqing is also from Pingjiang."
"Maybe she has relatives here. Didn't she just say her grandfather was eating here?" Lin Baiwei didn't like talking about others behind their backs. Even though she didn't say anything bad, she still felt it was impolite.
Zhou Yueyun sighed and said with admiration, "Qingqing is what you call a winner in life. She comes from a good family, is beautiful and outstanding, married her childhood sweetheart who treats her so well, and has a smart and sensible child... No one on TV is as happy as her. I really envy her."
"Don't be envious. This kind of place is where the ancestral graves are covered with evergreen trees. You might not even be able to be reborn into such a place in your next life. Why aren't you eating? This little bit of rice isn't even enough to fill your horns!" Du Guoqiang put some meat on his wife's plate.
Zhou Yueyun shook her head repeatedly, "I won't eat it. I need to lose weight. From now on, you can eat all the meat at home, and I'll eat vegetables."
"Why are you trying to lose weight? How can you have energy if you don't eat meat? Don't starve yourself and get sick. Hurry up and eat. I don't mind that you're fat." Du Guoqiang glared at him irritably, thinking he was just being ridiculous.
He thought his wife was fine as she was, and she looked even more beautiful last night than when they first got married. He woke up thirsty in the middle of the night and was startled, thinking he had slept in the wrong bed and wondered who the beauty lying next to him was.
