At night.
Green Bamboo Garden.
The couple had come to Pingchuan in 2005. They had been living there for more than three years now.
Far away had risen to prominence since 2006. As the executive of Far away, Qin Hai had become the core of the Qin family. He was a big shot in the eyes of his family and friends.
At the end of 2006, Li Dong came to visit the Qin Clan and met the entire Qin Clan.
At first, no one in the Qin family knew Li Dong.
However, as Li Dong became more and more famous, he appeared more and more in the newspapers and on television. In the end, everyone in the Qin family knew that it was Li Dong who had come to the Qin family.
At the end of 2006, Li Dong had visited the Qin family during the new year.
At the end of 2007, Qin Yuhan had returned late. Li Dong had not visited her personally, but he had gifts.
Moreover, Qin Yuhan had come to visit the Li family as soon as she returned.
At that time, everyone in the Qin family thought that Li Dong would definitely be their son-in-law.
Once Qin Yuhan graduated, the two of them would probably be able to talk about marriage.
That was what everyone in the Qin family thought a few days ago.
However, as the new year approached, news of Li Dong's impending marriage broke out on the Internet. Furthermore, his partner was not Qin Yuhan!
Just when Qin Hai's parents, brother, and sister-in-law thought that the media was making wild guesses, Li Dong personally appeared and admitted that he was going to marry someone else.
At that moment, his parents and siblings, who had come to celebrate the new year, were dumbfounded.
Yesterday, Qin Yuhan's grandparents, uncles, and aunts had been pestering her the entire day.
As for the Qin couple, Qin Yuhan's siblings did not dare ask. However, the Old Master and Old Madam could not stop asking. What was going on?
It was the new year, but there was not much of a festive atmosphere in the Qin family.
…
In the living room.
At dinnertime, Qin Yuhan's aunt nagged again, "Yuhan, it's not that I'm talkative, but you have to pay attention to this.
Why did they break up all of a sudden?
Who was Li Dong?
That was the richest man in the world!
His family had mountains of gold and silver that couldn't even be piled up. Following him would mean a lifetime of glory, splendor, wealth, and whatever they wanted.
You don't know how many women are envious of such a good thing for their entire lives. How could you miss it when you finally caught it?
Sigh, look at this mess. Your Second Uncle and I both thought that you would get married this year … "
Qin Yuhan silently ate her meal. Yang Yun's brows were tightly knitted, and Qin Hai was also silent.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting colder and colder after his second daughter-in-law spoke, the old man coughed lightly and said in a deep voice, "Let's eat. Why are you talking so much?"
Qin Yuhan's second aunt sighed and said, "Dad, it's not that I'm talkative, but I feel guilty! Also, I told my neighbors, my relatives, my friends, and my family about it. At first, no one believed me. It took me a lot of effort to convince them. But now that this matter had been blown up, how could he face anyone when he returned? Also, on Big Brother's side … If Yuhan breaks up, Li Dong will be angry. If he doesn't let Big Brother work … "
Yang Yun, who had been silent all this while, frowned when she heard that. She put down her chopsticks and frowned. "Second daughter-in-law, this is our family's matter. We don't even worry about it. Why are you so concerned about it? Also, who allowed you to spread the news? It's the New Year. If you want to celebrate it, celebrate it properly. If you think it's embarrassing, then go back and celebrate it! "
"Sister-in-law, what are you saying …"
Qin Yuhan's second aunt was a little unhappy. Just as she was about to retort, Second Uncle Qin tugged at her sleeve. She could not help but swallow her words.
Even if Big Brother really lost his job, he had earned quite a lot over the years.
Also, if Qin Yuhan and Li Dong broke up, who knew how much Li Dong would pay for the breakup.
Now that she had offended him, it would not be good for her in the future.
With that thought in mind, Qin Yuhan's second aunt was a little embarrassed and did not speak again.
The entire dining room instantly became quiet. Only the sound of bowls and chopsticks touching could be heard.
Just when the atmosphere was extremely quiet, the doorbell rang.
Qin Yuhan's second aunt, who had a stomach full of words to say, could not help but ask, "It's so late. Who would come at this time?"
No one answered. Qin Yuhan quietly put down her bowl and chopsticks and got up to open the door.
…
Outside the door.
Li Dong's expression was a little complicated. He was also a little nervous.
His rationality told him that it was not appropriate for him to come to the Qin family at this time.
Even if he wanted to come, this was not the time.
His marriage with Shen Qian had just been announced to the public. If he came to the Qin family at this time, he would definitely be looked down upon.
Moreover, if he was a little more cautious, he might even think that he was here to show off.
But rationality was rationality. If he could maintain his rationality at all times, he would not be Li Dong.
Li Dong still came with the excuse of looking for Qin Hai to discuss the successor.
The moment the doorbell rang, Li Dong wanted to turn around and leave. However, in the end, Li Dong did not move.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer inside the door.
Li Dong took a deep breath and waved his hand, gesturing for Tan Yong and the rest to leave.
Tan Yong was actually a little worried at this moment. The boss was going to the tiger's den alone.
It was hard to say for Chairman Qin, but Chairman Yang might not be able to control his emotions.
'It won't look good if the boss comes out later with scratches all over his face. If the media gets to see it, it'll be embarrassing for the entire country.'
Although he was thinking about it, Li Dong gestured for them to leave. Tan Yong did not dare to stay any longer and left hurriedly with his men.
The door opened just as Tan Yong and the rest left.
Qin Yuhan looked at Li Dong outside the door and was slightly stunned. Her body was slightly stiff, but she did not speak or move.
Li Dong looked a little embarrassed. He smiled dryly and said, "Yuhan, you're back."
"Yes."
"Erm, I'm here to look for Uncle Qin. It's almost the new year, so I'm here to see Uncle Qin and Aunt Yang. I'm here to see you too. I wasn't here when you came back yesterday, so I didn't pick you up … "
Qin Yuhan nodded and said, "Yes, I was in the capital. When did you come back?"
"I … I just came back …"
"Yuhan, who's here?"
Yang Yun could not help but ask when she saw her daughter standing there talking after opening the door.
Qin Yuhan did not say anything. She put a pair of slippers down and said softly, "Come in."
"Is it convenient?"
Li Dong was a little timid when he heard Yang Yun's voice. He regretted asking Qin Yuhan to meet him alone.
He was asking for trouble by coming to the Qin residence now.
Qin Yuhan revealed a faint smile on her face. She glanced at him and said after a pause, "Haven't you always been thick-skinned? If you don't want to come in, then so be it. "
After saying that, Qin Yuhan turned around and entered the house.
Li Dong hesitated for a moment. He gritted his teeth and put on the slippers. He carried the gift and followed her into the house.
…
Inside the house.
When Yang Yun saw her daughter walking over, she asked again, "Who is it?"
"Aunt Yang, it's me. I'm here to wish you a happy new year. Happy new year! Uncle Qin, Grandpa, Grandma, happy new year! "
Li Dong, who followed her in, was all smiles. He quickly took over the conversation and chuckled. "You're eating. It seems like I came at the right time. I haven't tasted Aunt Yang's cooking for a long time. Aunt Yang, do you want me to have a bowl too? Grandpa, Uncle Qin, Second Uncle, I'll have a drink with you. Coincidentally, I brought some good wine. It's very mellow and fragrant. Do you want to have a drink to warm your body? Yuhan, get me a glass. I also brought red wine and grape wine. It tastes good too. You, Aunt Yang, and Second Aunt should try it too. If Grandpa and Grandma don't like it, I also brought a bottle of medicinal wine. It's absolutely authentic. It's nourishing for the stomach and won't go to the head … "
As soon as Li Dong entered the house, he rambled on and on.
Everyone in the house was a little stunned at that moment.
Li Dong?
Li Dong was here!
The first to react was not Qin Hai, nor was it Yang Yun, but Qin Yuhan's Second Aunt.
Before Yang Yun could lose her temper, Qin Yuhan's Second Aunt's eyes lit up. She immediately stood up and smiled like a flower. She hurriedly said, "General Manager Li is here. General Manager Li, please sit down. It's cold outside. I'll get you a glass. Have a drink to warm your body. Don't catch a cold … "
"Sit down!"
Before she could finish, Yang Yun suddenly threw her chopsticks and glared at her. She then looked at Li Dong and frowned. "Why are you here?"
Li Dong was a little embarrassed. He said dryly, "Aunt Yang, it's almost the New Year …"
"Are you here to take over the house?" Yang Yun mocked.
"No, I didn't mean that. Aunt Yang, what house are you talking about? Isn't this house Uncle Qin's? Besides, you're a veteran of Far away. Isn't it right for you to get a house? Aren't you slapping me in the face by saying this to me? According to the rules, you and Uncle Qin should at least get a four-bedroom house. I've already let you down enough. You're still saying this. I'm really embarrassed. "
As Li Dong spoke, he took out a few bottles of wine from the gifts he brought and walked over.
Yang Yun wanted to say more, but Qin Hai shook his head gently. He looked at Li Dong and said, "Sit down and talk. I happened to have something to do today. I was going to report to you tomorrow. I didn't expect you to come by yourself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Second Aunt Qin Yuhan had already brought a stool over.
Li Dong hurriedly said a few polite words. He sat down and said with a smile, "Uncle Qin, you're too polite. Let's not talk about this first. I haven't eaten yet. I came over after finishing my work at the company. Grandpa, Uncle Qin, Second Uncle, let's have a drink together. "
Old Master Qin looked at his eldest son and then looked at Qin Yuhan. He did not say anything.
Second Uncle Qin Yuhan's face was full of joy. He smiled and said, "That's great. General Manager Li's wine must be good. I can tell it's amazing just by smelling it. I won't stand on ceremony then."
If it were any other time, Li Dong would not be interested in this kind of person.
But at this time, there was someone in the Qin family who smiled at him and started to warm up the atmosphere. It was really not easy.
When Li Dong heard this, he immediately got up and filled Second Uncle Qin's cup. He said with a smile, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, you don't have to be so polite. Just call me by my name. Uncle Qin, would you like a cup too? "
Qin Hai glanced at him. This guy was not usually so attentive.
Qin Hai did not say anything and nodded lightly.
Li Dong hurriedly filled up his cup. He looked at Old Master Qin and said with a smile, "Grandpa, you have some too. This wine won't go to your head. Medicinal wine is good, but it doesn't taste right. How about you drink it next time? "
Old Master Qin was a little confused. He said vaguely, "Then I'll have some."
"Okay, I'll fill it up for you."
Li Dong was very polite. He quickly filled up Old Master Qin's cup.
At this time, Qin Yuhan also walked over with a cup and handed it to Li Dong.
Li Dong filled up his cup and held it up. He stood up straight and said with a smile, "I came a little abruptly today, and I didn't greet everyone. I'm really sorry. I'll give a toast to all the elders. I'll drink first. You guys can do as you please. "
After saying that, Li Dong finished his cup in one gulp.
Second Uncle Qin had already stood up when he saw Li Dong standing. He hurriedly drank his cup as well.
Qin Hai sighed softly and drank his cup in one gulp.
When Old Master Qin saw that his eldest son had drunk, he picked up his cup and took a sip. Then, he nodded and said, "Good wine. It tastes good."
Li Dong's eyes lit up. He quickly said, "Grandpa, you think it tastes good too?
Coincidentally, I still have a few boxes. I'll send them to you later.
Drinking two or three cups with a meal usually doesn't harm your body. Instead, it improves your health.
Grandma, I heard from Yuhan that you're a Buddhist. It's a little late today, so I didn't bring you a gift.
However, I've already asked someone to invite a Bodhisattva from Ganlu Temple. It was personally blessed by Master Fa Hua. I heard that it's very efficacious. You can invite it home tomorrow.
"Coincidentally, it's almost the new year. Grandma, it's not convenient for you to go to the temple to offer incense. You can worship Buddha at home.
"Second Uncle and Second Aunt, I came in a hurry, but I just came back from the capital. I brought some local products and trinkets.
I'll show them to you. Second Aunt, I specially chose this bracelet. It's very flattering …
"Also, Brother and Sister. Aren't you going to university soon? I didn't prepare anything else. I brought two laptops and two phones. You can use them in school …"
Li Dong's politeness made Qin Yuhan a little dumbfounded.
When did this guy become like this?
Second Uncle Qin and his wife could not stop smiling. Old Master Qin also licked his lips. He felt that the wine was really good.
As for Old Madam Qin, she could not sit still when she heard that Master Fa Hua had personally blessed the Buddha statue.
If Old Madam Qin and his wife had not moved, they would have already spoken.
Yang Yun's face was gloomy. What was this little bastard trying to do?
If this was in the past, Yang Yun would have laughed heartily to please the whole family.
However, this bastard had just announced that he was getting married, and he came to their house to please the whole family. No matter how she looked at it, something was wrong.
Glancing at Qin Hai, Yang Yun exerted strength in her foot and ruthlessly stomped on his foot!
Why didn't he say anything?
If he didn't say anything, this bastard would treat this as his own house. Looking at the gifts that Li Dong prepared, she knew that this guy's preparation was nonsense.
He gave wine to Old Master Qin, invited a Buddha statue for Old Madam Qin, and gave something substantial to Second Uncle, his wife, and their child.
It would be a lie to say that Li Dong did not find out.
However, didn't he and Yuhan break up now?
Why was he so concerned about it? What was he trying to do?
To put it bluntly, if it weren't for Qin Yuhan, Li Dong wouldn't have needed to curry favor with them.
Even if Qin Hai was leaving, it was not worth Li Dong's effort to please him.
Qin Hai was gone. Although it was difficult to choose a successor, it did not mean that no one could succeed him. There were plenty of people who could succeed him. The key was whether Li Dong was willing or not.
Obviously, Li Dong did not come for Qin Hai or anyone else. He came for his daughter.
Qin Hai could not help but grimace after being stepped on by Yang Yun. He coughed softly and interrupted Li Dong, "Let's eat first. We'll look at the things later. We'll talk after we finish eating."
Li Dong quickly smiled and said, "Okay, let's eat first. We'll talk after we finish eating."
Then, Li Dong picked up a mouthful of food. Before it entered his mouth, Li Dong praised, "The taste is really good. Aunty Yang's cooking is getting better and better!"
When Yang Yun heard that, she immediately said angrily, "I'm not feeling well today, so I didn't cook!"
Qin Yuhan's second aunt smiled happily and said, "I made it. Li … If you like it, come often in the future. I'll cook for you …"
Qin Yuhan, who was sitting on the side, lowered her head. Her body trembled a few times.
This guy's flattery went too far!
However, Li Dong did not mind. He still smiled brightly and said, "Second aunt's cooking is good. However, Aunty Yang's dishes are more to my taste.
It's okay that I didn't eat it this time. I'll come again next time.
I still remember when the Dongping Restaurant Far away first opened. There were a few times when Aunty Yang saw that Brother Sun and I ate boxed meals every day. She specially cooked some food from home and brought it over.
At that time, it was really beautiful.
Brother Sun and I hoped that Aunty Yang would bring us some food every day. However, we were too embarrassed to say it directly.
Brother Sun even privately said that we should set up a stove in the office. There were ready-made things in the supermarket. We could just ask Aunty Yang to cook for us every day.
At that time, the conditions were tough, and we didn't have the environment we have now.
I was really tempted. However, after thinking about it, Uncle Qin was still waiting for dinner at home. I didn't want to trouble Aunty Yang to do this.
Now that I think about it, the past is still vivid in my mind … "
Li Dong sighed and raised his glass to toast Yang Yun.
This time, Yang Yun did not refuse. She also raised her glass and took a sip. There was a strange look in her eyes.
Li Dong recalled the past and couldn't help but think of the days Far Away.
At that time, there was only one restaurant Far Away. Li Dong was in charge of the overall situation, Sun Tao was the general manager, and she was in charge of finance. It was one of the three carriages of the Far Away.
She was the oldest. Li Dong was about the same age as her daughter.
Sometimes, Yang Yun unconsciously showed some maternal love. She took good care of Li Dong and Sun Tao.
Moreover, Li Dong started his own business at a young age and made a name for himself.
At that time, Yang Yun admired him and liked him from the bottom of her heart.
When she found out that Li Dong was her daughter's boyfriend, Yang Yun was overjoyed.
At that time, it was not related to money. Moreover, although Li Dong had made a name for himself, he was not rich.
When his relationship with her daughter was exposed, his net worth was no more than a hundred million. It was a great achievement among the younger generation. However, in the whole Hua Xia, he was still a nobody.
Moreover, at that time, even if Li Dong did not have such a net worth, even if it was only a Dongping restaurant, Yang Yun felt that it was enough for her to have such a young man as her son-in-law.
Her daughter was also a student at Capital University at that time. She was also good-looking. In Yang Yun's opinion, the two young people were a perfect match.
Later on, as Li Dong's business grew bigger and bigger, some things slowly changed.
But even a few days ago, although Yang Yun was a little worried about her daughter going abroad, she still felt that there was hope. She still treated Li Dong as her son-in-law.
However, some things were always unexpected.
Li Dong suddenly announced in Capital that he was getting married. His partner was Shen Qian.
When this news reached Pingchuan, Yang Yun hated Li Dong to the core.
Heartless man, Chen Shimei, cruel and unscrupulous …
All these titles were instantly planted on Li Dong's head.
Fortunately, Li Dong was not by her side. Otherwise, Yang Yun would have given him a tight slap.
She had thought that this matter would end there. Although Yang Yun hated him, the two of them were not married, so she had nothing to say.
But now, Li Dong had suddenly appeared again and caused so much trouble. This made Yang Yun angry and confused. For a moment, she forgot that she was going to slap him.
