Chapter 297 Finale
When Ye Yang came back this time, he wore a pair of glasses on his nose, looking elegant and bookish.
Zhao Zhaodi hadn't seen her son for half a year. She walked around Ye Yang and finally stopped her gaze on his nose. She squinted her eyes and gave a fair evaluation.
"You know what, you look quite cultured with this bespectacled thing on."
"Mom, I think I do have some culture." Ye Yang adjusted his glasses, trying to subtly remind his mother that he was a university teacher.
Zhao Zhaodi had attended literacy classes for a few years and considered herself somewhat literate. She puffed out her chest and rolled her eyes at her son: "Tsk, who doesn't have some education? I can read now, too."
Ye Yang...
There were many people eating at home today. Jin Fenglian was helping Aunt Liu and others in the kitchen. Seeing that she was too busy, she glanced and saw Zhao Zhaodi chatting leisurely outside. This was not okay.
She immediately popped her head out of the kitchen and rushed towards Zhao Zhaodi with a snarling roar: "You can't even recognize a set of mahjong tiles, what kind of culture do you have! Sister-in-law, stop showing off your few words and come over here to help pick the vegetables. The kitchen is almost too busy."
Zhao Zhaodi couldn't bear to see her hard-earned knowledge being belittled like this. She raised her brows, rolled up her sleeves and walked to the kitchen. "Oh! You know everything. You've lost nearly three thousand yuan playing mahjong, and you still have the nerve to criticize me? You spendthrift bitch."
Having her tail grabbed, Jin Fenglian's roar instantly turned into a meow. Her Hong Kong-style curls on her shoulders even smoothed out. She gave a dry laugh and pried onto the kitchen door, saying guiltily, "That's just bad luck. Don't worry, sister-in-law. When I win the money back, I'll treat you first by treating you to steamed flower crab in Central."
Zhao Zhaodi picked up the lotus root on the counter and peeled it without even looking at her: "With your luck, I won't be able to eat your crabs even if I die in my coffin. Save your energy."
Today, the Ye family's dining table is finally no longer just for decoration.
The Chinese round tables and Western long tables were packed, and the dishes were a fusion of Chinese and Western cuisine, with both caviar and rotten meat, fully catering to everyone's taste.
"Come on, everyone, make way! The last dish, the crispy suckling pig, is here!"
Ah Hui helped Ye Sanxing bring a roast suckling pig dripping with fat to the table, and the reunion dinner officially began.
The first thing mentioned during the meal was that Mrs. Ye and Mr. Ye should take care of their health, followed by Ye Lin's lifelong event.
"Lin, you're not a child anymore. When are you going to get married?"
Sister-in-law Ye Sihua was the first to bring up this topic, and the two dining tables suddenly fell into silence. Everyone stopped what they were doing and pricked up their ears, waiting for Ye Lin to speak.
Ye Sanxing swallowed his saliva and silently put the chicken wing root he had picked up back down.
Old Lady Ye calculated her age in her mind and felt that what her daughter said made sense. She agreed, "That's true. If your aunt hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten about it. After this year, I'll be twenty-four. It's time for me to get married."
Ye Lin had been watching Ye Xiulan and the others being urged to get married, and thought that this part would be included in the party this year.
Unexpectedly, all the steps were completed, but I became the protagonist.
He didn't take it seriously at all and just said, "I don't have any plans for now. Let's talk about it later."
Jin Fenglian put down her chopsticks impatiently: "When is later? Your brother Xiushan has been telling me later for four years, and you also said later. I think you should just remain single." After saying that, Ye Lin turned his head and glanced at his three sons with murderous intent.
She had long given up hope on the stubborn group of the Ye family. The men didn't marry and the women didn't marry. They were truly a family.
Old man Ye thought about the long-term, took a sip of rice wine, coughed twice, and successfully attracted Ye Lin's attention.
Patting Ye Lin on the shoulder, he said earnestly, "Lin, don't worry about Xiushan and the others. It's okay if they don't get married, but you have to get married. Otherwise, what are you going to do with the huge fortune your parents have earned? You have to hurry up and have children."
Zhao Zhaodi agreed with this statement. She was the only one in the family who had gone to Italy with Ye Lin and had seen the Fairburn family's wealth.
Not to mention anything else, just the gold bar fragments flying all over the sky when the castle exploded were like flowers scattered by fairies. When an iron shovel was used to scoop the soil, the soil was mixed with gold sand. You can imagine how much gold was hidden in this house.
"Yes, Lin, your mother's side has a lot of gold, you must have descendants to inherit it."
Zhao Zhaodi suddenly remembered what she had heard from Rebecca and added, "Besides, your aunt is going to pass on the family business in Italy to you. Oh, two such huge fortunes, you need to be careful. Hurry up and get married and have children, at least two."
"Cough cough," Ye Lin was so scared by Zhao Zhaodi that he choked on a mouthful of soup. He coughed three times before he recovered.
He picked up the napkin and slowly wiped the corners of his mouth, staring at the porcelain white plate in front of him, and fell into a brief contemplation.
After a moment, Ye Lin raised his eyelids and looked at the Ye family members who were waiting for him to speak. They were probably thinking the same thing as his grandfather, worried about the company's inheritance issue.
In this case, it seems better to say some things early to avoid trouble.
Leaning to the right, Ye Lin first told Zhao Zhaodi about Fairburn.
"Aunt, I returned to Italy last month and made a will, stating that all my Fairburn property will be inherited by my two cousins after my death. You know, our family owes Xavier too much, and the only thing I can compensate him with is money."
"Daniel's situation is a bit complicated. Just in case, I need to give him more protection so that I can feel at ease."
"So, my mother's property has someone to inherit, so there is no issue of offspring."
Zhao Zhaodi was stunned when she heard this. She only came to her senses after being poked by Jin Fenglian. She quickly wiped the saliva that was about to flow down her chin and asked Ye Lin: "Oh my God, with so much money, you didn't leave it for your own children, and you gave it back to them?!"
"I didn't return it. I'm still alive."
"How can you settle accounts like this?"
Ye Lin had no plans to get married and have children at all, but he couldn't say it now because he was afraid that the old couple in the Ye family would get sick from worrying about it.
After dealing with Zhao Zhaodi, Ye Lin sat up straight, his expression serious, and said to his family, "Actually, I'm not interested in running the company. As long as the company is named Ye, I don't mind who runs it."
"So when it comes to inheritance, don't just look at me. Everyone here can inherit, regardless of gender. As long as you have the ability, anyone can take it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the restaurant fell silent, with only the sounds of people breathing at varying lengths. Obviously, no one had expected that Ye Lin would actually open up the inheritance rights.
It was Old Lady Ye who broke the deadlock. She had always been partial to Ye Lin and did not agree with the idea of Ye Lin giving the family property to others. "Lin, the company was built by your father. How can you let others inherit it?"
Ye Lin picked up his chopsticks and prepared to continue eating, correcting his grandmother's words: "Grandma, you are wrong. There is no one else in this house. We are all family. It doesn't matter who gets the family property in the end."
What Ye Lin said was indeed reasonable. Old Lady Ye could not find any ground for rebuttal. She struggled for a while in her eyes, but finally had to compromise.
"This... Hey, kid, forget it. The company is yours anyway, so you can do whatever you want."
The subsequent family dinner fell into a weird atmosphere, and no one knew what everyone was thinking about with their heads down.
Not long after this reunion dinner,
Ye Xiuhong and Ban Chen finally held their wedding. At this time, Ye Xiuhong had already begun to show her talent in the music world and was getting closer and closer to her dream of becoming a famous pianist.
Ye Xiulan actually listened to Ye Lin's words and took economics as an elective course after school started. Every day she either stayed in the library or went to Ye's as an intern. She did not hide her intention to compete for the position of the next chairman of Ye's.
However, she didn't need to fight. It seemed that she was the only one in the family who was interested in running the company. The others were just doing their daily lives. In this battle for the family fortune, Ye Xiulan had no competitors.
