At five o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Fan appeared in Baiyunju.
Although the Shen family is not one of the top families in Tiancheng, it still has a net worth of several billion. Therefore, it not only built a manor for their nephews to live in, but also built a Baiyun residence to entertain guests.
There are more than a dozen small courtyards, neither big nor small. They are exquisitely decorated and have a quiet artistic conception.
When Ye Fan appeared on the 3rd, he saw his parents happily drinking tea and eating fruits, while Su Xier was cleaning the house for Ye Fan.
"Mom and Dad, why are you so happy?"
Ye Fan walked in and greeted the three of them, then looked at his mother and smiled: "I haven't seen your smile like this for a long time."
Shen Biqin is very different now from before. No matter how happy she was before, there would be a trace of sadness between her eyebrows, but now it is all unfolded.
Ye Wujiu smiled and said: "I haven't been home for more than 20 years. Now that I'm back, can I be unhappy?"
"Definitely happy."
Shen Biqin poured a glass of water for Ye Fan: "On the way here, your father and I were worried that we would not see each other for twenty years. Our feelings have long been estranged."
"I didn't expect that your second grandfather and cousin were all so enthusiastic."
"After we left the high-speed rail station, your cousin drove his RV to pick us up and let us stay in a nice place like Baiyunju."
"This is a place specially designed to entertain distinguished guests."
"Not long after we got here, your second grandfather also came over. Not only did he bring us a sumptuous meal, he also had a few drinks with us."
"None of the gifts we gave them were objectionable, and they were all happily accepted."
Shen Biqin shared all the half-day hospitality with Mark, unable to conceal her joy and excitement of returning to the family.
"Yeah?"
Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly: "It really surprises me that the Shen family is so enthusiastic."
Although he was born kind like his mother, Ye Fan, who had been tempered by the world, had an extra mind.
In Ye Fan's view, when his mother, who was kicked out more than 20 years ago, reappears in the family, there will never be the hospitality of a reunion after a long absence, but more of an emotional unfamiliarity.
No one interceded for her when she was evicted, and they did not contact her after she was evicted, and they did not help her when she was seriously ill. This shows that the Shen family's feelings towards her were average or even bad back then.
How could you be so indifferent twenty years ago and be so passionate today twenty years later?
However, Ye Fan did not remind his mother, and just let her be happy for a few more days:
"Mom, did the second grandpa and the others tell you when they will meet my great-grandma?"
Ye Fan smiled and said: "She is not in good health, we should meet her early, and we can also let her see the grandmother's secret recipe and be happy."
Grandma has two sons, one is Shen Biqin's father, Ye Fan's grandfather, and the other is Shen Biqin's uncle, who is the second grandfather.
The former's population was withering, leaving only Shen Biqin's bloodline, while the latter's population was flourishing, with dozens of people, large and small, so the Shen family basically had the final say.
"Your cousin said that my grandma is not in good health and is still taking nutritional fluids today. Let us visit her again in a few days."
Shen Biqin smiled and said, "I have asked your cousin to give Grandma's secret recipe."
Ye Fan was shocked: "Did you give the secret recipe to your cousin?"
"Yes, he said that he happened to be changing my grandmother's dressing at dusk, so he could take her there for me."
Shen Biqin was eating a piece of cantaloupe: "I let him take it."
Ye Fan couldn't help but say: "Aren't you worried that your cousin will take the secret recipe for himself..."
"make it their own?"
Shen Biqin's movements faltered slightly, and then she squeezed out:
"Probably not. Your cousin, a big boss, came all the way to pick us up and entertained us so warmly. How could he have bad intentions?"
"People's hearts are not that bad, and the secret recipe is meant to be given to them."
Shen Biqin said with relief: "Ye Fan... I think we still have to think on the bright side."
Ye Fan lowered his head and drank tea: "I hope so."
"Your cousins are not that kind of people."
Shen Biqin saw Ye Fan's worry and defended: "They are really good to us."
"Your cousin also said this afternoon that I am also a member of the Shen family."
"Although I have settled down in Zhonghai, Tiancheng cannot live without me."
"He is going to buy me a house, at least 100 square meters, in a school district."
She told Ye Fan good news: "I will go to the agency to transfer the title in two days."
Ye Wujiu echoed: "That's right, your cousin still insisted on your mother accepting it. He even got angry when we refused several times."
"Look, your cousin is so nice. He just gave me a house worth more than five million yuan."
Shen Biqin reached out and stroked Ye Fan's head: "Mom is going to accept it and give it to me and you. Come to Tiancheng more often in the future."
When she came back this time, she was warmly received, and the grudge caused by the leak of the secret recipe was made up for. Shen Biqin was happier than ever and hoped to have more contact with her in the future.
"Go to the agency to sign a contract..."
Ye Fan picked up the cup and murmured to himself: "I hope my cousin will really give you a house."
After chatting for a while, Ye Fan went to the refrigerator to find something to eat. As his parents said, his cousin and the others bought a lot of good things, including famous wines, good tea, and high-end fruits.
Ye Fan opened a piece of bread and gnawed it.
"Ding--"
At this moment, Ye Fan's cell phone vibrated, and he put on earplugs and hid in the room to answer it.
"Brother Ye, I have done what you asked me to do. The property owner of the apricot blossom forest in Tiancheng has been found."
Qian Shenghuo's loud voice soon sounded in Ye Fan's ears: "Guess who it is?"
Ye Fan whispered: "My mother!"
"Hahaha, that's the right answer. It seems you already knew it."
Qian Shenghuo laughed heartily:
"I have inquired and checked. This piece of land was given to your aunt by your grandfather. It was an eighteenth birthday gift and cost one million that year."
"I've seen it. It used to be a place where birds didn't shit, but now it's a hot spot."
"It is not only Tiancheng New District, it may also become a new city center. If you throw away 5 billion for this 100 acres of land, it will be gone in seconds."
"At least I'm interested in buying it."
"If it is put up for auction, 10 billion won't be a problem. If we pay some taxes, smoothen the relationship, and change the land use, we can build a 60-story office building in minutes."
"The Shen family only transferred your grandparents' property and your mother's company shares back then, and forgot about the existence of this apricot blossom forest."
"Of course, it may be because I don't like it. After all, it's a wilderness. Who would have thought that it would become a new area in a few decades?"
"So your mother has full property rights to Xinghualin."
His tone became more joking: "What? Auntie is involved in a battle for the wealth of a wealthy family?"
"When people are in the arena, they can't help themselves."
Ye Fan sighed like Nine Thousand Years Old, and then his smile turned playful: "Help me draw up a contract..."
Qian Shenghuo readily agreed.
It didn't take long for the contract to be settled according to Ye Fan's wishes. Qian Shenghuo also asked a lawyer from Tiancheng to deliver it to Ye Fan.
In the evening, the Shen family asked the restaurant to bring eight dishes and one soup, including lobster, Buddha jumping over the wall, and tortoise soup, which was particularly rich.
While Shen Biqin was busy setting the table, Ye Fan went over with a legally binding document:
"Mom, I bought you a pension insurance, you sign your name."
He also made a copy of his mother's ID card.
"Don't I have a pension insurance? I still buy it..."
Although Shen Biqin was surprised, out of trust in Mark, she still picked up the signature pen and signed in a swipe.
After signing, Ye Fan narrowed his eyes slightly:
The fun is about to begin...
