The Tycoon's Vacation
A family banquet, all kinds of people.
The authoritative yet apologetic Ye Lao, the proud and arrogant Ruan Xue Man, the soft-spoken Ye Yu, the enthusiastic Ye He Cheng, the eloquent Ruan Xue Qin, and the lively Ye Lan. Su Ye sat next to Ye Lan, her ears naturally not getting a moment's peace.
Sitting opposite her, Yan Baiyan remained calm and quiet, with Ye Yu beside him occasionally asking if he was cold or warm. From Su Ye's angle, she could see Yan Baiyan's expression clearly, and his expression indeed did not change much.
Among the hundred faces, one was missing, it was Ye Yu's younger brother Ye Yuan.
Just as Su Ye Zheng was thinking of this, the housekeeper came forward with a joyful expression and announced that the young master had returned.
Young master? What a pretentious title.
Ye family's young master, the only male heir, naturally had to make a bigger entrance than ordinary people. Ye Su originally didn't have a good impression of the Ye family from top to bottom, let alone this so-called "second brother". On the other hand, Ye Lan stood up with a smile and shouted towards the dining room door, "Second brother, you're really back early, we were just about to start dinner, and thought you wouldn't make it back in time."
Not far away is a bright and cheerful laughter, "Today I don't dare not come back."
It's a nice voice, although it can't compare to Yan Bojian's low and magnetic tone, but it has a sunny and cheerful quality that makes people want to look up and see if the person matches their voice. So Su Ye looked up and bumped into the figure of a man wearing an aviation uniform, about 185 cm tall, with broad shoulders.
He is...
"Leaf Leaf?" The man walked up and looked her up and down, his charming peach blossom eyes seemed to be dazzling like fireworks. "I am your second brother Ye Yuan." After finishing speaking, he patted her shoulder and smiled at Ye Yu and Ye Lan, "Two sisters, now that you have Ye Ye, you are no longer the little beauties of the Ye family."
Ye Lan pouted and rolled her eyes at Ye Yuan, while Ye Yu smiled gently, "Ye Ye has been beautiful since she was a child, and now that she's eighteen, she's even more lovely and charming, isn't she, Dad?"
Ye He Feng nodded repeatedly, with a smile in his eyes.
Su Ye was not used to this seemingly warm and harmonious family atmosphere, quietly avoiding Ye Yuan's outstretched hand, smiling faintly as if she had just exchanged greetings. She didn't know much about Ye Yuan, plus he never participated in the Jing Shi Group, so his public exposure rate wasn't high either. However, he seemed different from the spoiled rich kid described by outsiders, wearing a uniform... could it be that he was a pilot?
"Yeye, this is a gift I specifically bought for you." Ye Yuan seemed to not notice her coldness and still smiled as he handed her an exquisitely packaged small box.
Su Ye hadn't expected it, and as she raised her head, their eyes met. "It can't be something related to the Jing Stone, can it?"
Ye Yuan's eyebrows slightly raised, forming a good-looking arc. "The thing inside isn't that valuable, it's actually quite an interesting little thing. I picked it up when I arrived in Milan two days ago because I thought it looked nice."
Su Ye was taken aback and subconsciously reached out to take it.
"Second Brother is so unfair, where's my gift?" Ye Lan squeezed her eyes at him.
"When was it that I flew back and didn't bring you a gift? Let's eat first." Ye Lan chuckled.
"Alright, now that everyone is back, let's hurry up and get ready for dinner. Everyone has been waiting for you." Ye He Feng looked at his son with a not-so-good tone.
Ye Yuan washed his hands and quickly took a seat, coincidentally sitting next to Nian Boyan. This way, it really became a treat for the eyes. Nian Boyan was calm and collected, while Ye Yuan was passionate. Nian Boyan wore business attire, while Ye Yuan wore a uniform. The two men were equally tall, handsome, and impressive. Su Ye thought that if these two men got drunk in a bar, the girls would probably be eager to cling to them.
"Flitting about all day, a business as big as this and you don't even manage it properly. I've told you countless times to learn from Bai Yan but you never listen. You're not even as good as your two sisters." Ye He Feng couldn't help but say as soon as he saw his son. "What's wrong with other professions? Why did you have to become a pilot, flying international routes and not even having time to come home for dinner?"
"Dad, am I not coming back?" Ye Yuan seemed to be used to Ye He Feng's displeasure and raised his eyes to send a pleading look to Ruan Xue Man.
Ruan Xue Man was heartbroken for her son, but Ye He Feng's words also made sense. Today, she didn't stand on her son's side either. She let out a soft sigh and said, "Your father is right, Yuan. You're not young anymore, it's time to think about getting married. Those flirtatious girls can be avoided if possible. I saw the daughter of Uncle Xu at the business banquet last time, she was as beautiful as a lotus flower. Your father and I..."
"Ah, Ye Ye, I heard you're working at Jing Shi now. How is it? Are you adapting well?" Ye Yuan hastily calculated his mother's nagging and looked towards Su Ye.
Ruan Xue Man saw that he had a mind to avoid the problem and was helpless.
Su Ye faced the lively scene of this family as if she was an outsider, originally thinking that she would just respond with a faint sentence, but when she raised her eyes, she happened to see Ye Yu serving vegetables to Nian Boyan. A thread of mischief quickly sprouted and spread. "It's fine, because there's brother-in-law."
The year-old Nanbo looked at her unnoticeably from across the way.
Ye Yuan smiled, "That's great, now Lanlan has also entered the Jing Shi, you two beautiful sisters can be called a perfect match."
"Second brother, second sister and I are from different departments, if you don't understand then don't talk nonsense." Ye Lan gave him a sweet smile.
Ruan Xueqin finally spoke up beside him, lowering her voice and saying, "How can you talk to your brother like that?"
Ye Lan stuck out her tongue.
Ye Yuan smiled disbelievingly, "Lanlan's mouth is unbridled and I'm already used to it. Ye Ye..." He looked at Su Ye again, "In the future, come back home often when you have nothing to do, Dad misses you."
Before Su Ye could respond, Ruan Xue Man spoke up in a timely manner, "Let's eat, let's eat. So many dishes can't fill your mouth." After finishing speaking, she looked at Su Ye with great generosity and pointed to one of the dishes, "Ye Ye, don't be polite, just treat it like you're at home. That dish was personally supervised by your father, he said you definitely love eating it."
The atmosphere was no longer the same. Su Ye's heart was cold, and when she spoke again, her voice was calm and collected, "I think you're mistaken, that dish isn't my favorite, it's my mom's."
The sentence fell, and the commotion suddenly stopped.
Ruan Xue Man's face changed color, while Ye He Feng looked embarrassed.
Ye Lan was still unclear, and she raised her hand to pick up some dishes, but Ruan Xueqin stretched out her hand and hit her once. She shrank her shoulders, as if she had just noticed the strange atmosphere.
"Try it." It was Yan Bojian who broke the silence, he picked up the dish and put it directly on her plate, his low voice calm as water, "Taste it, you might like it, even if you really don't like it, this is your home, you can order someone to make whatever you want at any time."
Su Ye raised her eyes and looked at him. He had subtly refuted Ruan Xue Man's words, but she wouldn't be grateful to him.
"Bo Yan is right, Ye Ye, maybe you like to eat something else, tell Dad, next time we can ask the chef to make it." Ye He Feng hurriedly said beside him.
Su Ye looked at the delicious food on the plate, then raised her eyes to meet Yan Bo's gaze across from her. His calm and soothing eyes seemed to hold a gentle power that calmed her nerves. She pressed down on her chest to suppress the flutter in her heart and said lightly, "No need, every dish served at the Ye family banquet is a masterpiece."
Ye He Feng's face twitched, and Ye He Cheng hastily played the peacemaker. "Come on, everyone, let's hurry up and eat. If we don't, it'll get cold."
Everyone picked up their chopsticks.
The atmosphere of the family banquet was lively, but several elders looked like they had their own concerns and were not in the mood for fun. Only Ye Yu, Ye Lan, and Ye Yuan were carefree, while Su Ye remained silent, only occasionally saying a word or two. But compared to her, Nian Boyan was more elegant, with every move calm and unhurried, eating as usual, but not much.
"Bo Yan, I suddenly remembered something." Ye Yu took a sip of water and put down the cup before looking at Nian Bo Yan, "Last week I went to the club, originally wanted to get an autumn flavor but it was out of stock. They said... it was bought by you."
The woman opposite who was eating paused for a moment, but quickly lowered her eyelids and remained silent. It turned out that Ye Yu had once wanted Autumn Flavor.
"Yes." replied Toshihiko briefly.
Ye Yu hesitated and looked at him, "That ornament you..." She said half of the sentence and swallowed the other half.
Su Ye didn't lift her head on this side, but her ears were extremely sensitive in front of her. She was actually quite eager to hear how Yan Bo Yi would respond to his wife!
"Brother-in-law, you're done for! Did you buy jewelry to give to another woman? Ah, I get it, brother-in-law, you're keeping a mistress on the side!" Ye Lan laughed carelessly.
Ye Yu helplessly looked at Ye Lan, "Don't talk about your sister's husband like that."
"I didn't say anything wrong, nowadays girls are so realistic. My brother-in-law is not only tall and handsome, but also wealthy and has a good social status, which girl wouldn't fall for him? Ye Lan bit her chopsticks and smiled slyly at Nian Boyan, "Brother-in-law, confess honestly, did you have other women behind my sister's back? Autumn flavor, I'm tempted too."
Su Ye couldn't help but want to laugh, but she restrained herself and looked up at Nian Baiyan, as if waiting for him to make a fool of himself. Nian Baiyan put down his utensils, his movements elegant and calm, raised his head, and his gaze inadvertently collided with Su Ye's, after which the corner of his mouth twitched out a thread of helplessness, as if he had seen through her mischievous thoughts.
"I've given it to Ye Ye." He replied with a straight face.
Su Ye's lips suddenly froze.
Ye Yu didn't expect that at all, hesitated for a moment, and looked at Su Ye with a bewildered expression. Ye Lan didn't notice the change in atmosphere and chuckled, "Brother-in-law, you're being too biased."
"The thing that suits Yeye the most is autumn flavor." Yan Bojian took a tissue to wipe his mouth and explained calmly, looking so righteous and unapologetic.
Su Ye didn't understand what he was thinking about.
Ye He Feng unexpectedly nodded, his emotions seemingly a bit agitated. And Ye Yu, seeing this, had a smile escape from the corner of her lips, "Oh, Bo Yan, it seems we're on the same page, I was originally thinking of buying Autumn Flavor to give to Ye Ye."
Nian Baiyan smiled slightly, but glanced at Su Ye, this glance seemed to be warning her not to make a fuss, thinking that his joke was still too shallow, Su Ye responded with a white eye.
"Anyway, tomorrow is the weekend, just stay home tonight." Ye He Feng was old after all, no matter how he had gone through storms in his youth, at this age what he hoped for most was that his children were by his side. "And don't go either, Bai Yan, you and Xiao Yu have just gotten married not long ago, can't always be separated because of work?" Although it wasn't suitable to say this, now that he's old, he still hoped to hold his grandchild soon.
