Chapter 21: The Show Begins
The distance between No. 3 and No. 1 Qingtang Street is only about 100 meters. If Ye Baoling walked there directly, she would be easily spotted.
So she took a car and went back to the Gu family first.
Everyone in the Gu family is either at work or at school; only the grandmother and the maid are at home.
Since my second cousin started implementing reforms, the food at Gujia has improved significantly. Today's breakfast was milk, French toast, and fried eggs.
After breakfast, Ye Baoling went upstairs to the second floor and lay on the sofa to chat with her grandmother.
Grandma Gu, wearing her reading glasses and sewing on buttons, said, "I heard from Man'er that you almost had to go to the hospital a couple of days ago because of menstrual cramps?"
"Ugh. It hurts so much."
"You and Ye Huaizhang didn't consummate your marriage?"
"No."
"Then why did you lie to me last time and say that you two were getting along well?"
"Who lied to you? Can't things be harmonious without consummating the marriage? Mother-in-law, your thinking is flawed." Ye Baoling turned around, looked at her grandmother, and, remembering what Man'er had said, couldn't help but ask, "If I consummate the marriage with him, will I stop having menstrual cramps?"
"When I was a young woman, I also had menstrual cramps, the pain was excruciating, almost like childbirth. Your mother had them too. We stopped having cramps after we got married. Didn't I tell you that before?"
This is not scientific.
She had heard that pregnancy and childbirth could relieve menstrual cramps, but she had never heard that consummating sexual intercourse could.
But then again, this is a scripted world, and nothing is impossible.
She yawned and laughed, "Then I should get married sooner."
Grandma Gu put down her needlework: "It's not too late now. Man'er found several interviews with Ye Huaizhang for me to read. He's different from your father. He's farsighted, has his own ideas, and is decisive. He's not the playboy type. The magazines introduced his overseas investment projects, and he earns more money every year than they do in Hong Kong! You should have a child with him soon, hold onto your man tightly, and live a comfortable life as a wealthy wife. That's better than anything else."
Ye Baoling couldn't help but complain, "Mother-in-law, didn't you used to teach me to be self-reliant? How come you changed your mind so quickly? Can't you be a little more consistent in your guiding principles?"
“I have no guiding principles. My guiding principle is that you can live a good life. You and Ye Huaizhang have already registered your marriage, so there’s no need to start over.”
Ye Baoling: "Using children to tie a man down is the most unreliable thing to do. Look at my mother, did she tie my father down? Whether you're a man or a woman, if you want to live well, the key is to rely on yourself and your own brain."
The best strategy is to make yourself your own support.
Grandma Gu simply didn't have confidence in her granddaughter's intelligence. She got up, walked to the bedside, and rummaged through drawers and cabinets looking for things.
"What are you looking for?" Ye Baoling went over to see if she needed help.
"Could you help me move the boxes down from the cabinet?"
Ye Baoling unloaded the box, and Old Madam Gu opened the cabinet door, took out a small square box from the cabinet, opened the box, and found some documents and talismans inside. She pulled out an old book from the bottom.
Grandma Gu handed the old book to Ye Baoling, saying, "I don't want to discourage you, but you're good-looking, which makes you better than many women. You need to know how to seize opportunities."
"What is it?" Ye Baoling opened the tattered little book, read only one page, and couldn't resist wanting to read the second page, when she suddenly realized that her grandmother was standing in front of her, so she quickly closed it.
Grandma Gu lowered her voice: "The 'Pillow Book' that brides used to keep at the bottom of their dowry chests."
"I don't need it. You should keep it for Man'er and the others."
Even if she's never eaten pork, she's at least seen a pig run.
She's watched quite a few pornographic films.
“You need it.” Grandma Gu snatched the “Bedtime Book” from her handbag, walked to the sofa, and stuffed it into her handbag.
Ye Baoling: "..."
"Put the box back."
Ye Baoling obediently stacked the boxes back; they weren't heavy, and she could lift them with one hand.
Grandma Gu said, "When you were little, your uncle caught a praying mantis for you to play with, do you remember?"
"Hmm." Ye Baoling didn't know if the original owner remembered, so she just gave a vague reply and asked, "Why did we get onto the topic of mantises?"
"I heard on the radio the other day that when a female praying mantis is extremely hungry, it will eat the male during mating. Don't look at me like that. Your mother-in-law is a Buddhist, and I'm not trying to incite you to do anything bad. I just want to tell you that for a woman to survive, she can seemingly depend on a man, but she must always have a backup plan, and when necessary, she must be ruthless. This doesn't contradict what I told you before, that you must rely on yourself in everything. Whether you can control a man also depends on yourself. If you control him well, he is your weapon; if you don't, then you're not capable enough."
That seems... to make some sense.
It suits many traditional women, but not Ye Baoling.
Ye Baoling didn't want to argue with her grandmother. She looked at the old lady with a puzzled expression and said, "Grandma, why didn't you teach my mother this?"
“Because your mother-in-law didn’t understand before either.” Old Mrs. Gu sighed. “I didn’t know how to teach children, or how to be a good parent. I only spoiled and pampered them, and only taught them to be kind. I also taught you to be kind people, to fight for what is yours, and not to be greedy for what isn’t yours. But in this world, kindness alone is not enough. A kind person is bullied, and a good horse is ridden.”
She only matured after the Gu family went bankrupt, when she was old and had suffered enough hardship.
Although the grandmother and granddaughter had different views, it didn't stop them from having a pleasant conversation.
*
Around 10:30, Ye Baoling took a taxi to No. 1 Qingtang Street.
Quite coincidentally, it was Sister Qin who opened the door for her today.
When Ye Baoling left the eldest son's house last time, she secretly slipped some money to Sister Qin, telling her to remember to call her if anything serious happened at home.
Sister Qin called Ye Baoling twice, but it wasn't anything serious.
She felt embarrassed having received the money and kept thinking about helping out.
Sister Qin was quite surprised to see Ye Baoling: "Miss, I didn't expect you to come back so early today."
Is it still early?
"Earlier than in previous years. Miss, you're just too passive and don't fight for anything..." Sister Qin didn't want to say too much openly, because not fighting for anything would ultimately lead to a big loss.
Faced with such "praise," Ye Baoling did not argue, but simply smiled and asked, "What can I do?"
"You should come back more often in the future." Just then, Sister Qin called out, "Aqing!"
A young man with a crew cut came over from the garden.
“This is my son, Aqing. Aqing, quickly call her Miss.”
"Young Miss".
Ye Baoling smiled and nodded: "Sister Qin, your son is so big now."
"He's almost twenty." Sister Qin instructed Ah Qing, "The Second Madam's family sent some gifts, which are placed in the front living room. One of them is for the eldest young master. You should deliver it to him as soon as possible."
After Ah Qing left, Sister Qin said, "He started working as a handyman for the eldest young master last year."
Ye Baoling smiled and said, "It's fine."
"It was better when your mother was alive. She was more considerate of us servants. As for the young master... well, he's lucky if he has a stable job." Sister Qin didn't want to complain to the young lady, so she didn't say much more.
It's clear that she's not satisfied with her former employer.
Sister Qin accompanied Ye Baoling for a while, but before they even entered the gate, she was called away.
No. 1 Qingtang Street consists of three villas, the main building of which is Xihetang, where her grandfather and uncle's family lived.
The Lanting Residence on the west side is where the Third Uncle's family lives.
The Shengyue Building on the east side is relatively small, where her father, stepmother, and others lived.
The area is surrounded by lush greenery, and in summer, when the flowers and trees are in full bloom, the large garden behind it stretches eastward to No. 3 Qingtang Street.
Further north is a low mountain covered with tall, lush trees, which contrasts sharply with the bustling central market surrounding Qingtang Street.
When Ye Baoling came last time, she used the excuse of borrowing books from her cousin to secretly wander around Xihetang and roughly figure out the layout of the building.
Her grandfather lives on the third floor of Xihetang. Today is his birthday, and she will definitely go to wish him a happy birthday as soon as she gets back.
So she went straight upstairs from Xihetang and met her second uncle and aunt at the top of the stairs on the second floor.
"Second Uncle and Second Aunt..."
Ye Kaisi greeted her with a smile when he saw her: "Baoling, you came back quite punctually this year. You didn't wait until the banquet started."
Ye Baoling laughed and denied it: "I'm always on time every year, okay? Second Aunt, what face cream do you use? You're so fair and radiant."
Second Aunt Liang Meiyun touched her chin with a hint of pride and was about to speak when Ye Kais directly exposed her: "Too much powder, it's terrifying."
"What do you know? I only put on a little foundation." Liang Meiyun took Ye Baoling's hand and they walked upstairs together. "Baoling, your makeup is pretty good. Who did your makeup?"
"I just did it casually."
Liang Meiyun didn't believe it, but she was too lazy to investigate further.
Previously, her relationship with her sister-in-law Gu Min was just so-so. Her sister-in-law had a daughter, while she had a son. She always felt that her sister-in-law was jealous of her, and the two of them could never see eye to eye.
Later, the eldest brother and sister-in-law divorced, and the eldest brother-in-law quickly married Zheng Junni. Zheng Junni married into the family while pregnant, and gave birth to a son a few months later. Although Zheng Junni had high emotional intelligence and a better temperament than Gu Min, Liang Meiyun disliked her because of her low social status and insincere personality, and instead missed her former sister-in-law.
Liang Meiyun whispered, "I heard you're dating the youngest son of the Lü family?"
No. We're just friends for now.
"You're keeping it a secret even from your second aunt?"
Ye Baoling laughed and said, "How could I dare? We're really just ordinary friends."
Liang Meiyun glanced at Ye Baoling. She hadn't seen Ye Baoling for almost half a year and felt that she had changed a lot. She was much more relaxed and confident when she spoke.
She was more convinced that she was in a relationship.
Upon arriving on the third floor, the living room and small side hall were filled with people.
Ye Qizu sat in the living room chatting with guests. To her left sat her third great-uncle Ye Qizong and his son, while to her right sat several people she didn't recognize.
Seeing someone come in, the old man looked up and glanced at them. Seeing that it was Ye Baoling, he didn't linger on her but instead listened to what the others were saying.
Ye Baoling stepped forward. She didn't think of any particularly clever birthday wishes, after all, the old man was not worthy of them. She simply said, "Granddaughter wishes Grandpa a long and prosperous life."
Ye Qizu nodded slightly, but said to the person next to him, "These rumors may become true if they are passed on for a while."
Ye Baoling, who was supposed to offer birthday greetings, was left standing to the side.
No wonder the original owner was afraid to return to the eldest son's family. If one's inner strength is not strong enough, it is indeed easy to feel suffocated and internally depleted, or even become depressed.
Fortunately, Ye Baoling was a seasoned veteran and didn't care.
Seeing Lin Zhong sitting alone in the corner of the living room, she went over to greet him.
"Uncle Zhong".
Lin Zhongzheng was writing something in a small notebook with a fountain pen when he looked up and saw Ye Baoling. He quickly smiled and asked, "I've been busy all week and haven't seen you. Have you started work yet?"
"Yes, they assigned me to the logistics department."
"Why?"
Ye Baoling didn't complain, she just said, "I don't know why either. Anyway, I'm going there to learn, so it's not bad to go to the logistics department to get familiar with the environment first."
"You're quite composed." Lin Zhong closed his notebook and tucked his pen into his suit pocket. "How are you doing? Getting used to it?"
"It's alright, I'm still getting used to it."
"Is there anything I can help you with? Should I help you transfer to the department you'd like to work for?"
"Not for now. I'll go see Uncle Zhong if I need to."
Lin Zhong smiled and nodded: "Come to me anytime if you need anything, don't feel wronged."
Someone came looking for Lin Zhong, so Ye Baoling went to the side hall, where the younger members of her family were gathered, playing cards and chatting.
Only four people were playing bridge; the others were either watching or sitting on the sidelines chatting.
The people playing cards were Ye Baoxin, Ye Baoshun (the son of her second uncle), and two grandchildren from her third uncle's family.
Ye Baoling walked over, and none of the people chatting looked up, except for her cousin Huang Jinyun from her aunt's side, who waved to her, "Baoling, sit here."
Hearing the voice, Ye Baoxin looked over and asked with a smile, "Baoling, do you play bridge? If you do, you can play."
Just as Ye Baoling was about to refuse, Ye Baoshun said, "She doesn't know how to play. Don't make me lose money."
This Ye Baoshun is the beloved grandson of Old Master Ye. He hasn't graduated from university yet, and he's still a carefree and irresponsible person who hasn't fully settled down.
Ye Baoxin knew, of course, that Ye Baoling didn't know how to play bridge, so she just asked casually to show that she was being generous.
From a young age, her mother taught her that she should give way to Ye Baoling in public and do it for the Ye family, regardless of whether she wanted to or not.
Although she was very resistant and annoyed, she had no choice but to comply.
Ye Baoling had no idea that the other person was thinking so much. She sat next to Huang Jinyun, ostensibly watching people play cards, but actually eavesdropping on the adults' conversation in the next living room.
These people with status and position usually keep a serious face in public and handle affairs in a formal and aloof manner, but when they chat with relatives and friends in private, they are no different from ordinary people in the market.
"If the mainland economy takes off, Dapeng Port will definitely succeed, but the risk of investing is too great. No one has ever succeeded with a socialist economy. Western Europe is so rich, but the countries in Eastern Europe are poorer than one, and they haven't been able to rise up."
"Mr. Ye, will your third branch of the family invest in Dapeng Port?"
Ye Qizu: "The initial investment is several billion, which is not a small amount. I definitely have to advise them to be cautious."
Ye Baoling was speechless. She just hoped that her grandfather would worry more about his own business and mind his own business.
Then I overheard them chatting about the hot stock market. I hadn't heard anything useful until one of them told an interesting story.
"With the stock market doing so well lately, Jiaming Shares' stock price has hit a new low. Bald Liu is like a headless fly, going to a fortune teller who said he lacks the element of fire in his destiny and needs to add fire to his name. The fortune teller suggested he change his name. Not only does he want to change his own name, but he also wants to change the name of his stock. Do you know what Jiaming Industrial is going to change to?"
"Change it to what?"
"Hot and spicy."
The crowd burst into laughter. Some of the older people didn't understand, so someone whispered an explanation: "'Hot and spicy' all belong to the fire element in the Five Elements theory."
"Are you really going to change it to 'hot and spicy'?"
"I don't know. If it's going to be changed, it'll be around August or September."
Ye Baoling was first surprised, then delighted. She had been looking through the daily closing price list of the financial evening newspaper, trying to find the stock code of "Hot Hot Hot". She had searched several times but couldn't find it. She thought that the company had not yet been listed. It turned out that it had changed its name.
The future hot and spicy is now called Jiaming Shares.
Hot & Spicy was the hottest stock before the October stock market crash, a "monster stock" that rose 22 times in just one month in September.
Lu Tianyou bought this stock at a high price and suffered huge losses before exiting the market.
Therefore, if you want to lay in wait, you need to enter the market before September.
This news, more precious than gold, made all the grievances Ye Baoling suffered today on behalf of the original owner worthwhile.
She continued to listen attentively; Hot and Spicy was one of the three most notorious stocks during the 1987 stock market crash.
September saw a surge in popularity, and October saw two other speculative stocks skyrocket. She hasn't yet found the stock codes for the other two speculative stocks.
However, they stopped talking about the stock market and started talking about other things.
Ye Leyan, the granddaughter of my third great-uncle, brought over a small plate of palmiers. "Do you want some Palmiers?"
Huang Jinyun, worried about gaining weight, shook her head and said, "I just ate cake."
Ye Baoling didn't stand on ceremony: "Give me one."
After asking around and finding no one to offer any, Le Yan happily sat down next to Ye Baoling: "This is delicious."
Ye Baoling praised, "It's crispy, fragrant, and the sweetness is just right."
Seeing how much Ye Baoling was enjoying her food, Huang Jinyun couldn't help but say, "Then I'll have a piece too."
"Here you go." Le Yan quickly handed her a piece.
Le Yan wanted to ask Bao Ling what she had been busy with lately, but she held back and didn't ask.
She knew that Ye Baoling usually stayed at her grandmother's house, had no job, no social life, and didn't go anywhere. Asking her would only embarrass Ye Baoling.
So the conversation could only revolve around the cookie in front of us: "I tried to learn how to make Palmier before, but no matter how I made it, it never tasted as good as the ones at the Shanghai restaurant."
Ye Baoling laughed and said, "I'm clumsy, I can't learn it."
Huang Jinyun: "My friend knows a pastry chef at the Shanghai Hotel. If you want to learn, I can help you get in touch."
"Really? Won't it be a hassle? I'm clumsy and I'm afraid I'll piss off the teacher." Ye Baoling, who had no interest whatsoever, could chat with anyone with great enthusiasm about any topic.
Le Yan: "I'm not very smart either, so we can go to school together."
The three women gradually started chatting about topics such as baking and makeup.
Meanwhile, people at the card table were also gossiping.
While playing cards, Le Yan's older sister, Le Qiong, whispered, "Have you seen Ye Huaizhang? Le Yan ran into him a few days ago and said he's lost a lot of weight, right, Le Yan?"
Le Yan replied, "No, I'm just the right amount of thin."
Huang Jinyun asked in a low voice, "Was Ye Huaizhang really kidnapped?"
Someone shushed, "Let's just keep this to ourselves, don't let it get out."
"He was kidnapped for a long time before being released. Will he suffer from any psychological problems?"
"It's hard to say. It's said that people who have been kidnapped and tortured are prone to psychological abnormalities and distrust everyone."
Le Yan handed Ye Baoling another cookie: "He seems to be in good condition, and his complexion is good. He doesn't seem to have a mental illness."
Ye Baoxin also agreed: "He is a strong person, and I believe he will not be easily troubled by his emotions."
Upon seeing Ye Baoxin praising Ye Huaizhang, Ye Baoshun couldn't help but retort, "Isn't he just a college classmate? You talk as if you're very close to him."
Ye Baoxin: "What does it have to do with you whether we're familiar or not? You're really something."
The two of them can tease each other peacefully, more like siblings.
Leqiong continued gossiping: "Hey, have you heard about Fifth Aunt arranging a marriage for him to bring him good luck?"
Someone scoffed, "I wonder what kind of woman he married. Ye Huaizhang may seem successful on the surface, but he's actually quite pitiful."
"What's so pitiful about him? He signed a divorce agreement with that woman as soon as he got back. That woman's dream of marrying into a wealthy family was shattered, but she didn't lose out; she took a large sum of money."
Le Yan became interested and shoved a plate of butterfly pastries into Ye Baoling's hand, asking Ye Leqiong, "Second Sister, who told you that?"
Ye Baoxin also looked up and asked, "Are you really divorced?"
"Who is Ye Huaizhang? Just an ordinary woman, how could she possibly keep him? They'll definitely divorce each other."
“That’s true.” Le Yan turned around and asked, “Sister Jin Yun, Sister Bao Ling, have you met Ye Huaizhang?”
Huang Jinyun: "We've met a few times. I know him, but he doesn't know me."
Ye Baoling smiled awkwardly: "We're not familiar with each other."
Le Yan: "We're not close. We only see each other once a year on the second day of the Lunar New Year when we pay respects to our ancestors. If we happen to see each other outside, we'll just exchange greetings at most."
The original owner's mother's birthday was on the second day of the Lunar New Year, so Ye Baoling never participated in ancestral worship ceremonies.
She's a girl, so Ye Qizu doesn't care whether she comes back to pay respects to her ancestors or not.
Therefore, she rarely had the opportunity to see Ye Huaizhang before.
Leqiong joked, "When we were paying respects to our ancestors, he stood in front with his back straight, completely different from Baoshun. He was incredibly handsome."
Ye Baoshun, who was being teased, was speechless: "Ye Leqiong, don't forget, your surname is Ye. No matter how handsome or good-looking someone is, you have no chance."
"Tch. Can't I even talk about it? Does talking about it mean I'm interested in someone? You're really something." Ye Leqiong was straightforward and immediately laughed after retorting, "Only Bao Xin at our table has a chance."
Ye Baoxin frowned, somewhat displeased. "What? I also have the surname Ye."
"Oh, just kidding. Oh, today is Second Uncle's big birthday, won't Ye Huaizhang come to offer his congratulations?"
"Who knows?"
Ye Baoxin said, "He comes to wish Grandpa a happy birthday every year, but he doesn't eat, so you just didn't see it."
"If anyone sees him later, let me know. I want to see if he's really lost weight."
Ye Baoling was speechless.
He's just a man, is it really that big of a deal?
A playing card fell in front of Ye Baoling. It belonged to Ye Baoshun. He turned his head to look at her, but instead of calling her "sister," he simply said, "Pick it up."
Ye Baoling pretended not to hear and ignored him.
Ye Baoshun raised his voice: "Hey, pick it up, can't you hear me?"
Ye Baoling then looked at him and asked, "Who are you talking to?"
"With you."
"Who am I? Am I 'Hey'? Can't you pick it up yourself?"
Ye Baoshun's face flushed instantly; Ye Baoling had never dared to speak to him like that before.
The area around the card table fell silent instantly.
To ease the tension, Le Yan quickly picked up the playing cards and handed them to Ye Baoshun, but Ye Baoshun refused to take them and just stared at Ye Baoling with his neck stiff.
Ye Baoling ate her biscuits quietly, ignoring everything.
Ye Baoshun was so angry that his neck swelled up.
With so many people present, Ye Baoxin dared not cause a commotion, fearing that things would escalate and she would suffer as a result. So she reminded him, "Grandpa has guests over there... hurry up and play cards."
Le Yan slammed the cards face down on the table.
Leqiong said to him, "Baoshun, are you looking down on my sister? My sister picked up the playing cards for you and you're not happy about it?"
With others interrupting, Ye Baoshun could only let the matter drop.
Just then, Ye Kaimin and his wife arrived, and Ye Baoling had to go over to greet them before leaving the small side hall.
When Ye Kaimin saw his daughter, his first words were: "When Lü Tianyou arrives, you go with him to see Grandpa."
"Oh." Ye Baoling didn't intend to accompany Lü Tianyou to meet his grandfather, but she didn't directly object, lest it provoke Ye Kaimin's strong interference.
Lunch was a traditional Chinese banquet, hosted by the best restaurant in the city for the birthday celebration.
Three tables were set up in the living room on the first floor, with a sumptuous spread of delicious food. Ye Baoling, oblivious to other people's business, focused on eating.
After lunch, some took a nap, some played mahjong, and some chatted.
The Ye family mansion has three buildings with many rooms, but none of them belong to Ye Baoling. She wanted to rest but had nowhere to go.
Fortunately, she was thick-skinned and good at social maneuvering, and she became friends with Le Yan and Huang Jinyun.
They liked Ye Baoling's makeup, so Ye Baoling touched up their makeup, and then they played marbles together, passing a boring afternoon.
In the evening, there will be a buffet reception. There is a dance floor in the lobby on the first floor of Xihetang, and there will be performances and a buffet in the back garden.
People from the third branch of the family came to offer their birthday wishes one after another, and then left one after another.
Ye Baoling had been sitting by the window in the small living room on the second floor. As soon as Lü Tianyou arrived, she saw him.
"Lu Tianyou!" she called out, beckoning him to come upstairs.
After meeting at the top of the stairs, the two went to a small side room on the second floor to chat.
“Go upstairs and wish my grandfather a happy birthday. If he asks about me, just say you haven’t seen me yet and that you should go downstairs to find me. Anyway, we should try to avoid appearing together to avoid the elders making a fuss.”
Lu Tianyou nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, I will definitely not cause you any trouble."
"I'm also afraid of causing you trouble."
"Where? It's because you didn't give me a chance?"
"I'm giving you a chance, do you dare to take it?"
I dare not.
Lü Tianyou smiled and changed the subject, "Why didn't your little girlfriend come along?"
"Would I dare? If I brought my girlfriend home, my grandpa would kick me out."
At this moment, Ah Feng, with her slanted eyes, had secretly followed the young lady and the young master of the Lü family as they walked towards the side hall. She thought she would see the two of them getting along very well, but instead she heard something even more shocking.
She quickly turned and left.
Ye Baoling was also perceptive. Hearing deliberately light footsteps, she quickly turned around and just saw Ah Feng's departing figure.
Ah Feng went to the garden and found Zheng Junni, then embellished the story and told her what had happened.
Zheng Junni was surprised; she hadn't expected Ye Baoling to like women.
This is a difficult situation to handle.
If we tell Ye Kaimin directly, he might secretly cover it up for the sake of his daughter and the Ye family's reputation.
Zheng Junni thought of Ye Baoshun, and a plan came to her mind.
Where is Baoshun?
"He was just chatting with the old master and the guests, and now it seems he's gone to Shengyue Tower to find Miss Baoxin."
Zheng Junni whispered a few words to Ah Feng, then quickly walked towards Sheng Yue Lou.
Ye Baoling, standing by the second-floor window, watched as Zheng Junni, clutching her pregnant belly, hurriedly walked away from the garden.
Not far away, at the main gate, Ye Huaizhang's car drove into the underground garage of the old eldest son's mansion.
