Chapter 293 Going to School
The days of recovery were boring and long, and life was gradually returning to normal.
In the past, Louis was watching over the company. He regarded the company as his own and worked diligently every day. Rebecca could be a hands-off boss and only needed to go to the company to sign from time to time.
Now that Louis was gone, all the company's affairs, big and small, were waiting for Rebecca to handle. She could not stay in the United States to accompany Ye Lin for a long time. After sending him to the United States, she returned to Rome within a few days.
Rebecca had lived a leisurely life for most of her life. When she was young, she relied on her father, and when she was a teenager, she relied on her sister. Later, although Louis was unreliable, she didn't have to worry about making money.
Life is unpredictable. When she reached middle age, she started to be busy like a top. Every day she had endless business to discuss, endless social engagements to attend, endless contracts to sign, and she could no longer get enough beauty sleep.
So every time she took time to visit Ye Lin, she would take a long time before leaving, and her whole body was filled with resistance to returning to Rome.
Daniel and Xavier were sent back to school by Ye Lin last month. He didn't need many people in the sanatorium, so he only left Ah Hui, Zhao Zhaodi and a few bodyguards with them.
After a month of recovery, Ye Lin was able to stand up gradually. After another month, he could walk to the garden of the sanatorium and walk around twice slowly.
It was not until autumn that he could finally walk like a normal person, but he could forget about running. After a near-death experience, his physical functions were much worse than before. He was able to survive only by relying on money and could not withstand any hardship.
Before the first winter snow arrived, Ye Lin was approved by the doctor to leave the sanatorium.
It was early summer when we arrived, but it was already frosty winter when we left.
Zhao Zhaodi was packing her suitcase with great interest, and she was talking to Ye Lin about things at home.
"Finally, I can leave. I've lived here for half a year and I've had enough. I don't want to eat any more American food. I'll quickly pick up what I can and go home to eat."
"We missed your sister Xiuhong's engagement last time, but luckily we were able to catch her this time."
After packing up a few boxes, Zhao Zhaodi inspected the bedside to see if there was anything left behind. She caught a glimpse of a silver paper bag.
He clapped his hands suddenly and said, "I almost forgot! I have to bring the gold bracelet I bought back to this girl as a treasure. If I forget, Jin Fenglian will blame me for the rest of my life."
Zhao Zhaodi hurriedly opened the box and gestured around to find where she could put the big gold bracelet.
Ye Lin was not very clear about the marriage procedures. When he saw Zhao Zhaodi's gold bracelet, he remembered that he needed to prepare a dowry for Ye Xiuhong.
He had been undergoing rehabilitation before and was often in a bad mood, so he forgot about this matter.
Touching his nose awkwardly, Ye Lin called Ah Hui over and said, "Ask Uncle Huang to prepare a contract to transfer 2% of Ye's shares from my name to Sister Xiuhong."
"Master, isn't 2% a bit too much?"
Ah Hui calculated in his mind that there were seven people in total, including the young master's cousins and his aunt's cousins. If they were all given the same distribution method, wouldn't 14% of the shares have to be distributed?
If there is any more unexpected situation, the absolute control that the young master has won over the company may be affected.
Ye Lin didn't care about these things. Instead, he had some expectations: "It's not much. It's all the family property earned by the old man. It should be divided. However, if anyone has the ability to pull me down, I will set off fireworks to celebrate for him. The Ye family will then have a successor."
Ye Lin has always had a clear understanding of himself. He is not the type to manage a company, or he is too lazy to worry about it. It is okay for him to occasionally give guidance on the general direction, but if he is asked to stay there every day, he doesn't want to do it. The young master can't bear that hardship.
He had seized control of the company before simply because he didn't want to let outsiders take advantage of it. If anyone in the Ye family had a business acumen, he would be happy to give up his position.
Repulse Bay
"Stir-fry the chicken a bit, and remember to reduce the sauce on the abalone. What time is it, Xiaoyue? Should they be here soon?"
Jin Fenglian hurried out of the kitchen, wiped her hands on her apron, and looked up at the clock in the living room.
Xiaoyue was craning her neck in the hallway, peering towards the main entrance. Upon hearing this, she turned and called out, "Master, your plane is off at four o'clock. You should be in Central by now!"
"Oh, that's almost done. I have to go cook another dish."
Ye Lin came back today. Jin Fenglian and Old Lady Ye started preparing dinner with Aunt Liu and David at noon. All in all, Ye Lin hasn't been back for almost a year, and they missed him very much.
As the last cod came out of the pot, Zhao Zhaodi's loud voice came from outside the hallway.
Zhao Zhaodi and Ye Xiuhong walked into the house arm in arm, and she talked incessantly about her experiences in the past six months, from Italy to Country D, and finally to the United States.
"Home is still the best. Xiuhong, you don't know, the food in the United States is inedible. It's either vegetable leaves or big meatballs. I've been in the United States for half a year, and my legs are thin from hunger. And Italy..."
The old couple of the Ye family heard the noise and walked out of the living room, supporting each other. They looked around and asked, "Is Lin back?"
Ye Lin was talking to Fang Bo in the corridor. When he heard Old Lady Ye's voice, he looked into the house and then signaled to Fang Bo to go in first.
"Grandpa and grandma, it's me. I've been away for a long time this time and I'm sorry to have made you worried." Ye Lin strode forward, supported the old couple, and led them back.
"Okay, I'm glad you're back. Let me take a good look at you."
Old Lady Ye held onto Ye Lin tightly, carefully examining her grandson from head to toe. As she watched, her originally joyful expression gradually faded, and she said worriedly, "Why have you lost weight? Your complexion doesn't look good either. What's wrong with you?"
"Yeah, why aren't you as energetic as before? Are you tired from working in the United States? Come on, sit down and take a rest."
Old Man Ye also noticed that Ye Lin was running out of energy, like a sick chicken, so he quickly put him on the sofa.
"It's okay, I'm just too busy at work and tired. I just want to rest at home for a few days."
Ye Lin followed the old couple's words and sat down. Although he had no problem walking now, his health was not as good as before. Sitting was much more comfortable than standing.
Old Mrs. Ye was so distressed that she patted Ye Lin's hand and said, "What kind of job does your mother have that can make people so tired? When I was young, I cut wheat for half a month and I didn't see anyone getting so tired. Listen to grandma, let's not do this job anymore. Don't exhaust yourself to the point of getting hurt."
"It won't happen again. This is a special case. I just need to rest for a while. Don't worry."
Seeing that her parents-in-law were asking Ye Lin endless questions, Zhao Zhaodi quickly came over to help Ye Lin cover for him, "Mom and Dad, stop talking. We've been traveling all day and must be hungry. Let's go for a walk and have some food."
"Oh, look at me. I forgot about eating."
Old Mrs. Ye temporarily let Ye Lin go, and the person being watched by everyone at the dinner table became Ye Xiuhong again.
Ye Xiuhong and Ban Chen have been dating for almost a year. Ban Chen is not young anymore, and his mother hopes that he can get married as soon as possible. If it weren't for waiting for Ye Lin, they would have been married long ago.
After learning that Ye Lin was coming back, the Ban family directly scheduled the wedding banquet for next week. The trivial matters such as wedding photos, betrothal gifts, and rings were all taken care of last month. Now the two of them only need a wedding banquet.
Everyone was happily chatting about the wedding, but Ye Xiuhong stared at the tip of her chopsticks for a long time without moving, looking like she was worried about something.
Ye Lin's mind was not on eating. He had not had a good appetite since he was injured. He listened quietly to Jin Fenglian and the others talking, but was secretly folding napkins under the table out of boredom.
His eyes glanced around aimlessly and he successfully caught sight of Ye Xiuhong, who was in a different mood from everyone else. She looked worried and no one knew what she was thinking.
There were no outsiders at the table, and Ye Lin was worried that she was unhappy with her marriage, but was too embarrassed to say it, so he asked directly, "Sister Hong, what are you thinking about?"
"Huh? Nothing, sorry I was distracted."
Ye Xiuhong suddenly came back to her senses and saw that everyone in the family was looking at her. She tidied the hair around her ears uncomfortably.
As soon as Jin Fenglian saw her little gesture, she knew her daughter wasn't telling the truth. "Xiuhong, if you have something to say, just say it. We're all family here, there's nothing to hide. Didn't you like the wedding dress?"
"Or was it the Ban family who bullied you?" Zhao Zhaodi chimed in from the side.
Ye Xiuhong hurriedly denied it anxiously: "No, his family treats me very well, it's just..."
Ye Xiuhong secretly raised her eyelids, looked around at her family, and quickly lowered them again, feeling even more ignorant.
But if she doesn't say it, she will really have no chance.
Pulling Jin Fenglian's sleeve lightly, Ye Xiuhong said in a voice as low as a mosquito, "It's just... I, I want to go to school, but I don't dare to tell his family. Besides, I'm old and I learn things slowly."
"But Mom, I really want to go to school. I want to know what college is like, and I want to understand what Ban Chen is saying. I envy the happiness of those female students in Xiangjiang, and I want to live like them. I... I'm sorry... Mom, I'm really sorry."
