At the table, Ye Canghua put her arm around Xiao Zheng's shoulder and whispered, "Did you see that? The table was full of vegetarian dishes. Grandpa Ye had secretly asked Tangyue to make two meals of braised pork. I'm craving it. "
Xiao Zheng smiled, "My mother-in-law's vegetarian dishes are delicious too."
"No matter how delicious the vegetables and tofu are, you can't eat it every day." Ye Canghua took a sip of Maotai and joked. "In the past few years, when did I not bring a bunch of cooked food up the mountain? I'm afraid I'll get sick. "
"Let's eat then. Why do you have so much to say? "Grandpa Ye glared at Ye Canghua, still angry. But he turned to Ye Yuhua and smiled. "Yuhua. Your tofu is getting better and better. It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It's even better than braised beef. "
Ye Yuhua smiled and said gently, "Eat more if you like it."
Then, she picked up a piece of cooked beef for Xiao Zheng with her chopsticks. And that was provided by Ye Canghua …
"Xiao Zheng, don't just eat vegetables, eat more meat."
The beef was only a small plate and she took a third of it. Not only Ye Canghua, even Grandpa Ye's eyes were red. He quickly stuffed two pieces into his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of Maotai, feeling indescribably comfortable.
Tangyue covered her mouth and laughed. The atmosphere at the table was indescribably harmonious.
Ye Yuhua had been back at the Ye Residence for half a month. She was the one cooking every day. Although she had returned to the secular world, she was still living the life of a monk. The dishes they cooked were basically all vegetarian dishes, which made the Ye Residence suffer unspeakably. Even Grandpa Ye, who was considered healthy, could not help but secretly eat a few times.
Old Lin was not particular about food. As long as it suited his appetite, he could handle it no matter if it was chicken, duck, fish, vegetables or tofu. Ye Yuhua's cooking was light and elegant, which naturally suited Old Lin's taste. So it was not as tasteless as Grandpa Ye's.
"Xiao Tang." Ye Yuhua finished half a bowl of rice and put down her chopsticks. "Don't spoil them when I'm out. Xiao Ye has obviously put on weight these few years. It's not a good sign. "
Ye Canghua turned pale with fright and turned to look at Xiao Zheng. "Did I really put on weight?"
"A little." Xiao Zheng stood firmly on his mother-in-law's side. "The lines on your face have faded."
Ye Canghua, who claimed to be a handsome man, hurriedly put down his bowl and chopsticks. Gnashing his teeth, he said, "I'm going on a diet. I'll only eat one meal a day from now on."
Old Lin glanced at Ye Canghua and said coldly, "You'd better not eat it."
"…"
Outside, Old Lin was so cold that he didn't talk to anyone. But at the dining table of the Ye Residence, she would occasionally strike up a conversation. Even though it was unpleasant to hear, he still expressed his opinion. It could be considered the difference between inside and outside.
After eating, Tang Yue took the initiative to wash up. Ye Yuhua and the others accompanied the old man to drink tea and chat in the living room.
"Picturesque. How's the company recently? "Lord Ye took a sip of tea and smiled.
"En. Not bad. "Lin Huayin nodded. Her attitude was quite easygoing.
"I've looked into the entertainment department you've set up. Your uncle also analyzed it. Very forward-looking. The country's economy is developing very fast, and our people have more and more money. Entertainment will definitely be an important social structure in the future. "Lord Ye smiled.
Xiao Zheng heard this and continued to flatter, "Picturesque's business acumen is not just for show. Even if our entire management team were to work together, we still wouldn't be as flexible as her. I really don't know what kind of brain structure she has. "
Lin Huayin glanced at Xiao Zheng and didn't say anything.
Perhaps it was because Ye Yuhua was present, but Lin Huayin was somewhat tense.
Speaking of which, after being coaxed by the Ye Family, her anger dissipated quickly. She knew how to act appropriately. But looking at the Ye Residence, no one could subdue Lin Huayin. Not even Lord Ye.
Therefore, the Ye Family basically kept silent on the issue of mother-daughter relationship. They didn't dare to get involved. They didn't want to be of help in the future. Adding oil to the fire would not be good.
This matter still needed Xiao Zheng's power behind the scenes. The Ye Family could also see that whether it was Ye Yuhua or Lin Chaotian, they were not as useful as Xiao Zheng. From all the signs, Lin Huayin really listened to Xiao Zheng's advice. It didn't matter what others said.
"Then why don't you see how strong my external genes are?" Ye Canghua smiled thoughtfully.
Whether it was her parents, uncle, or grandfather. Which one of them wasn't a first-class big shot? Not to mention inheriting all of them, any one of them would be able to make Xin Ao, which had not yet reached the top.
Ye Canghua could be considered the most useless in the Ye Family, but didn't he still manage a huge business empire? And he had maintained a profitable state for so many years. Who dared to say that he had no business acumen?
He just couldn't compare to his big sister.
Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded in agreement.
After everyone chatted for a while, the old man was a little tired. After exchanging greetings, Tang Yue escorted him upstairs for an afternoon nap. Before leaving, he didn't forget to ask Xiao Zheng and Lin Huayin to stay for dinner.
But looking at Lin Huayin's unwilling look, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly: "If there's something else, I won't keep you. Ah Zheng, come play two more rounds of chess with Grandfather another day. Your chess skills are still not bad, there's room for improvement. "
"No problem." Xiao Zheng smiled. Like everyone else, he caught Grandfather Ye's unintentional words.
Calling himself grandfather.
That meant that he really recognized Xiao Zheng as his grandson-in-law.
Good impression was good impression, liking was liking. But if he didn't change his words, it meant that he hadn't entered the Ye Family yet. During this meal, Grandfather Ye suddenly changed his words. It was unknown whether it was to give face to Ye Yuhua, who was about to leave, or to send a subtle signal.
After Grandfather Ye left, Ye Canghua patted Xiao Zheng's shoulder: "Not bad, kid!"
There was an indescribable ambiguity in her words.
Lin Huayin wasn't stupid. She heard the hidden meaning in Ye Canghua's words and frowned: "Why does everything have to do with you?"
Ye Canghua shrunk her neck, not daring to challenge her family's cold-blooded baby. She pulled Ye Yuhua's arm and said: "Big sister, I have a few questions to ask you. Come, let's go to my study. "
Ye Yuhua nodded, greeted Xiao Zheng, and accompanied Ye Yuhua upstairs.
Xiao Zheng could see that no matter how outstanding his mother-in-law was, no matter how biased Grandfather Ye was towards her. What belonged to Ye Canghua, no one could take it away, let alone want it.
What's more, Ye Yuhua had been living in seclusion at Feng Ming Mountain these years. The Ye Residence's affairs were all taken care of by Ye Canghua and her husband. Even if there was no merit, there was still hard work. As the big sister, how could she fight with her own brother?
It was normal for Tang Yue to be worried. After all, he had contributed half his life to this family, who wouldn't want to get something in return? No matter how good the brother-sister relationship was, Tang Yue was unwilling. Ye Canghua was naturally free and easy. Maybe he could really let go of everything and live a carefree and happy life. But he was the only male in the Ye Residence after all. If he didn't carry this family, who would?
In Xiao Zheng's opinion, the Ye Residence would definitely belong to Ye Canghua. And his mother-in-law definitely wouldn't just sit back and do nothing. These years, she would probably help Ye Canghua plan and protect him, right?
After thinking through these things, Xiao Zheng had a smile on his face. He sighed that the Ye Residence's entire family was a wonderful person. Even Tang Yue, who had the lowest level, was a woman who could see the big picture.
No wonder Old Lin had some life in the Ye Residence. He wasn't as overbearing and cold as he was in the company.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Huayin glanced at Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng heard this and explained: "I'm laughing at you for having such a group of good relatives."
Lin Huayin took a sip of tea, paused, looked up and asked: "Are you free recently?"
"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this?" Xiao Zheng wasn't as busy as Lin Huayin. Everything that he could let go of was handed over to Shen Han to manage. He could be said to be a hands-off shopkeeper.
"Accompany me on a business trip?" Lin Huayin asked.
"Sure." Xiao Zheng agreed without thinking and grinned. "Are you going to the Maldives or the Aegean Sea?"
"White Town." Lin Huayin said concisely. "We leave tomorrow."
