Then Haidong glanced at the people under the ginkgo tree and asked, "Are those your guests?" At this time, Haidong saw Qin Yuhua, with a feeling of familiarity on his face, and saw Haidong walking towards Qin Yuhua. Ye Fang quickly followed after seeing it. Haidong walked to Qin Yuhua and asked tentatively, "Are you the Qin family's sister-in-law? I am Haidong."

"Haidong, I didn't expect you to recognize me." Qin Yuhua quickly stood up and greeted me.

Ye Fang saw that Haidong and Qin Yuhua had a good relationship. After confirming that it was Qin Yuhua, he stepped forward and gave him a bear hug. After letting go, Haidong happily took Qin Yuhua's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for many years. Back then. We didn't know when you left the capital, and I even went to the Qin family to look for you, but I didn't expect you to come back."

"Oh, it's all in the past. Come on, Haidong, sit down." Haidong sat down carelessly. Qin Yuhua introduced Lin Hongshen to him. Ye Fang introduced others to Haidong. Haidong and everyone After getting to know each other one by one, they started chatting with Qin Yuhua.

"Sister-in-law, won't you go back to Qin's house this time?" Haidong asked.

Qin Yuhua shook his head with a complicated expression and said, "I came here just to stay in Xiyuan for a few days, and then go back to Binhai."

"Okay, it doesn't matter if the Qin family doesn't come back. It's heartless and unjust. I'll bring Xiaojun here tonight. He will be very happy to know that you are back." Haidong said.

"Okay...just tell him alone. I don't want to see anyone else in the Qin family." Qin Yuhua said firmly.

"Okay, sister-in-law. I still have something to do. Xiaojun and I will come to see you in the evening." Haidong said goodbye to Qin Yuhua. Ye Fang saw Haidong out of Xiyuan and briefly learned about the grievances between Qin Yuhua and the Qin family. . Qin Yuhua was very talented in business when he was young and managed the Qin family's business in an orderly manner. Later, Qin Yuhua met Lin Hongshen, and the two quickly fell in love. However, their marriage was rejected by the Qin family. The Qin family had promised to betroth Qin Yuhua to another wealthy family in the capital.

Qin Yuhua refused and ran away from the Qin family in anger and married into the Lin family in Binhai. At that time, the Lin family was just a little-known small businessman in Binhai. After Qin Yuhua joined the Lin family, he and Lin Hongshen quickly built the Lin family enterprise to the scale it is today. On the other hand, no one in the Qin family has Qin Yuhua's business ability. The Qin family's business has been good and bad, and they have been far behind by other aristocratic families.

After Qin Yuhua married Binhai, the old man of the Qin family was depressed. When he passed away, Qin Yuhua went home to pay homage and was turned away. From that day on, Qin Yuhua swore to God that he would never set foot in the Qin family again. Whether the Qin family's business was good or bad, and whether the Qin family lived or died had nothing to do with Qin Yuhua. Now the strength of the Qin family is far less than half of that of the Lin family. It is more appropriate to describe the current state of the Qin family with the word "rising from the world."

As for the Xiaojun Haidong mentioned, his real name was Qin Maojun, and he was the son of Qin Yuhua's eldest brother Qin Yulong. He had the best relationship with Qin Yuhua's aunt and nephew when he was a child, and he was also the only person Qin Yuhua cared about in the Qin family.

After sending Haidong away, Ye Fang walked towards Qianyuan. At this time, he received another call from Ma Zhengping.

"Xiyuan will not receive guests on November [-]st, as distinguished guests will arrive."

"Distinguished guest? How expensive is it? All the private rooms in Xiyuan have been reserved on November [-]. How much money will I lose if you don't accept the guests?"

"Are you just looking for money? I can call you a distinguished guest, so you can go."

"Okay, your words are worth millions of gold." Ye Fangmian said in a hidden voice, "Do you need me to make any preparations? Lin Hongshen and the others are here in the garden. I can't drive them out."

"They don't need to. Just let them live in the Li Zhen Courtyard and not go to the front yard. Someone will go over to hand over the security matters to you tomorrow. Just cooperate. There will also be a security team to take over the back kitchen staff. All the back kitchen staff Everyone will have to go through background checks again."

"Daddy, who is here? You won't tell me which country's leader is coming. Don't scare me."

"It's not a national leader, it's just retired military cadres. Mr. Hai told them about the reopening of Xiyuan, so everyone wants to come and see it."

"Dad, will you reimburse me for this meal, or will the army reimburse me?"

"You know money. This is a great honor. Just enjoy it secretly. By the way, I originally wanted to give you an invitation letter to the military parade, but I know Haidong has already given you one, so I just I won’t give it to you anymore.”

"No, godfather, I can't use it. I can't stand it because I have so many friends. I can give it to someone else."

"You think anyone is qualified to take this invitation. Just stay in the garden these two days."

After saying that, Ma Zhengping hung up the phone, and Ye Fang came to the Qianyuan to see everyone still sitting and chatting. Su Long was asked to call the managers of several courtyards to explain the cancellation of all reservations on the [-]th. Everyone was confused and didn't know why all the reservations were cancelled, but many guests were already used to Xiyuan's style.

"Ye Fang, are there important people coming to Xiyuan on November [-]?" Qin Yuhua asked directly and sensitively.

Ye Fang nodded and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. We've been working hard on the National Day and we've all been in Lizhen and Zhenyuan. Let's get together again after we send the guests away."

"Mr. Ye, do you know who is coming over?" Lang Wenyao asked curiously.

"Lao Lang, don't ask around. Ye Fang definitely doesn't know the accurate information. We can just follow the requirements." Qin Yuhua said.

"It won't work on National Day, but it will be fine tonight. Everyone can have a meal in peace." Ye Fang said.

In the evening, Haidong brought Qin Maojun to Xiyuan. Qin Maojun cried the moment he saw Qin Yuhua. Ye Fang arranged for his aunt and nephew to go to another room to reminisce about the past, while he, Lin Hongshen and Lang Wenyao stayed in No. [-] Qianyuan. room for meals. It took a long time before Qin Yuhua's aunt and nephew came out of the room. Both of them had red eyes. Naturally, the aunt and nephew had many things to say when they met. They didn't want to ask more questions, so they gave up their seats gratefully. Qin Yuhua soon changed his mood from sadness. He walked out and quickly integrated into the lively atmosphere of the dinner.

The next day, the day before the National Day military parade, two brothers, Xiang Guo and Xiang Jia, accompanied a middle-aged man to Xiyuan. The middle-aged man met Ye Fang under the guidance of the two brothers Xiang Guo. Xiang Guo did not introduce the identity of the middle-aged man. After a few words of greetings, Ye Fang accompanied these people to walk around the front and back yards of Xiyuan several times. , and then went back.

At ten o'clock in the evening on September [-]th, without disturbing the surrounding residents, several vans slowly parked at the entrance of Xiyuan. Dozens of people got out of the vehicles and walked into Xiyuan. Then the vans quietly drove away. ...
