Ye Weiwei also noticed that something was wrong with Yu's father and asked in surprise, "Uncle Yu, what's wrong with you...?"
Father Yu looked at Ye Weiwei excitedly, pointing at the Huo brothers, Huo Hai and Huo Jiang, and asked, "Weiwei, who...who are these two...?"
Ye Weiwei didn't understand why Yu's father was so agitated. "These are my eldest brother Huo Hai and second brother Huo Jiang, the biological sons of my husband Qin Xiao's adoptive parents."
Yu's father seemed not to have heard Ye Weiwei's introduction at all, still staring intently at the Huo brothers, Huo Hai and Huo Jiang, muttering, "So alike! They really look so alike!"
Butler Yu couldn't help but chime in, "Master, I also think these two look a lot like the old master, especially this Mr. Huo Hai, who looks exactly like the old master when he was young. When I first saw him, I thought it was the old master appearing in spirit."
Yu's father seemed to have gained tremendous support from the housekeeper's words, and couldn't help but ask Huo Hai and Huo Jiang, "Do you...do you have a jade pendant at home? It's a fish-shaped jade pendant, the material and workmanship are very good, and it's about this size..."
He gestured with his hands as he spoke.
Yu Chengwu pulled a pendant from his neck to show them: "It's similar to this jade pendant of mine, except that the fish on mine curves to the right, while the other one curves to the left."
Ye Weiwei: !
Huo Hai and Huo Jiang: !
The three looked at each other, secretly marveling at the coincidence.
The fish-shaped jade pendant that the Yu family father and son mentioned was the one they had taken back from Old Lady Huo years ago; it was Huo De's keepsake.
Seeing that the three of them remained silent, Mr. Yu became extremely anxious. He urged Ye Weiwei, "Weiwei, hurry up and tell me, is it true or not?"
He was extremely anxious!
He absolutely refused to believe that these two young men, who looked so much like his father, were unrelated to his family.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have felt an immediate connection with these two young people and felt an urge to befriend them; he firmly believed that this was due to the bond of blood between them.
Seeing that her father-in-law was trembling with excitement, Ye Weiwei quickly said, "My father-in-law, Huo De, does indeed have the jade pendant you mentioned. The jade pendant is exquisitely carved, and the fish on it is lifelike. Moreover, it is more appropriate to call it a 'Yu' character than a fish."
"Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly it! That's exactly it!" Father Yu was so excited that he was incoherent. It took him a while to calm down. "I told you before, our Yu family wasn't originally called Gan Gou Yu. It was Yu as in 'abundant year after year.' It was just that our branch didn't share the same beliefs as the other clansmen, so we separated. My father said that there can only be a home if there is a country. If the country and the family are not at peace, it's like a house without a roof. So, our branch changed our surname to Yu, just to remember our origins and never forget our roots no matter where we are."
But that jade pendant is a family heirloom for our branch of the family. Your father-in-law has that other jade pendant, so it must be my long-lost elder brother! Waaah…”
As he spoke, Yu's father broke down in tears, "Heaven bless my Yu family! Father, can you see? I've finally found my eldest brother! I've finally found him! Waaah..."
Yu's father's unrestrained weeping startled Ye Weiwei and the Huo brothers, Huo Hai and Huo Jiang, who were at a loss for how to comfort him.
Yu Chengwu and his mother, however, didn't seem to care. With tears in their eyes, they smiled and explained to them, "Don't worry, my father has just been suppressing his feelings for too long. Before Grandpa passed away, he kept thinking about my uncle and repeatedly told us to find him. My father has been searching for him for years without success, and it's become a real worry for him. Now that he sees you and knows that my uncle is still alive, he's finally relieved of his worries. He's so happy."
Yu's mother nodded, agreeing with Yu Chengwu's words.
Ye Weiwei, Huo Hai, and Huo Jiang could only watch as Yu's father calmed down on his own.
Fortunately, his father had weathered many storms over the years, so he didn't keep them waiting long. After he finished crying, although his eyes were red and swollen, he was in excellent spirits and very excited.
Knowing that Ye Weiwei and her group's itinerary could not be changed, Yu's father did not try to stop them, but instead directly asked Minister Qiao if he could go back to the inland with them.
He's going to find his relatives! He's going to see his older brother!
Especially when he heard Huo Hai and Huo Jiang say that they were already married and had several children, Father Yu was so happy that he almost jumped for joy.
That's great! That's absolutely fantastic!
The Yu family has prospered, finally breaking the curse of generations of only one son!
Minister Qiao quickly received approval, so several more people joined the return trip: Mr. and Mrs. Yu, two nannies, four bodyguards, and several large suitcases.
Apart from a few personal belongings and changes of clothes, their luggage contained gifts for the Huo family.
Even so, Yu's father continued to feel dissatisfied, complaining that Yu Chengwu and the housekeeper were too inefficient and had only prepared such a small amount of stuff.
Yu Chengwu, who had been forcibly left at home, looked at them leaving with an incredibly resentful gaze, as if he had been abandoned.
Never mind!
He quickly took care of the company's affairs in the past few days, and then packed his things to go to the inland. This is the first New Year that his whole family will reunite, so how could he be missing?
He insisted on celebrating the New Year with everyone!
Back in S City, Ye Weiwei originally planned to have Yu's parents and Huo Hai and Huo Jiang fly back to Kyoto first.
However, when Yu's father heard that Ye Weiwei had specially brought Huo Hai and Huo Jiang south to look for business opportunities and pave the way for their business, he was in no hurry to leave and prepared to personally teach his two nephews how to do business.
Of course, since he's already here, he might as well take this opportunity to look around S City and figure out how to invest there.
Ye Weiwei's request was of no significance.
All the items she purchased in S City have already been shipped to Kyoto. The reason she is still staying in S City is mainly for the newly established security company.
All the procedures for the security company have been completed, and it now has more than 100 employees.
This is already a fairly large company, and as the head of the family, she has to make an appearance no matter what.
After all, these hundred-plus people came because of Long Lan, and their salaries and benefits haven't been decided yet.
Therefore, as soon as she arrived in S City, she rushed to the company for a meeting without even taking a break, ready to reassure everyone as soon as possible.
After all, everyone needs to eat, and some families in difficulty have a large family to support. She can't let those who follow her have any concerns.
Sure enough, after hearing Ye Weiwei set their salary and benefits and say that they could get up to three months' salary in advance as a settlement allowance, the tension and anxiety on their faces disappeared, and they were all so excited that they wished they could give their lives for her.
