When they learned that Xie Junrou had returned to Zhonghai, Ye Yun and Feng Xuan were eager to meet their mother-in-law. The euphemistic name was to meet the wind and wash away the dust, but the real purpose was naturally that the drunkard was not interested in drinking.

Faced with the Ye family's series of warm invitations, Xie Junrou did not pretend to be pretentious and accepted the invitations happily.

The reception banquet was scheduled to be held in the Zhonghai Hall of the China Overseas Hotel. There are various large and small luxury private rooms here, and the viewing platform on the 19th floor can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire city.

Ye Yun and his wife, Zhou Yang and his wife, and Xie Junrou were a group of five people. The elevator went directly to the 18th floor of Tower A of China Overseas Hotel.

Along the way, Xie Junrou stared at the magnificent building opposite the hotel, which is the political center of the country. She couldn't help but sigh: "Although the transportation is so convenient, I have been away for so many years and only came back three or four times.

, and every time I’m in a hurry.”

Ye Yingning knew that although she was from Nanping, she went to Zhonghai City to study at the age of 16. She spent her entire youth here, and it was here that she met Zhou Yang's father, Zhou Qilin.

"Since I miss you so much, why not come back with dad."

Zhou Yang suddenly spoke in a low voice. He had never expressed his position so clearly on this matter. He said it without any warning at this moment, which made Xie Junrou stunned and her eyes turned red.

She knew her son best. He had always been estranged from his parents. It was not easy to do this now.

Ye Yingning calmly held Xie Junrou's hand and smiled at her.

It was inconvenient to discuss this issue in front of Ye Yingning's parents, so Xie Junrou quickly adjusted her mood and smiled: "Look at me, I like to talk nonsense when I get excited, which will make my in-laws laugh."

Soon, several people arrived at the private room. Feng Xuan had already consulted Zhou Yang about Xie Junrou's preferences and taboos before. She would still eat Nanping cuisine tonight. The host followed the guests and naturally had to follow her taste.

Compared with the home-cooked dishes made by Ye Yingning, the dishes at Zhonghai Hotel are more exquisite and delicious. Yejia has put a lot of effort into tonight's banquet and specially invited a chef who specializes in Nanping cuisine to come out and use the ingredients.

The ingredients are all top quality.

There are more than ten dishes such as shrimps and black ginseng, Songjiang calcium fish, sweet-scented osmanthus meat, eight-treasure chicken, emerald shrimps and crabs, braised pork trotters, etc., as well as a wide variety of traditional snacks such as pigeon egg dumplings, four-season cake dumplings, and crab shell yolks.

, it can be said that it is well-made, light and elegant. This table of dishes does not look eye-catching at first glance, but in fact, everything is a lot of thought. Except for China Overseas Hotel, it is difficult to taste it elsewhere.

"The head chef has retired, but Lao Ye specially invited him to come out. Come, try it and see if it suits your taste."

Feng Xuan was naturally very polite to Xie Junrou, greeting her warmly, and acting with some caution that was rarely seen in ordinary times.

Xie Junrou did not shirk, and tasted each dish briefly, praising it from time to time, which meant that the host's hard work was not in vain.

Feng Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, with a slightly embarrassed look on her face. Although her background was not as good as that of the Xie family in Nanping, she was still considered a wealthy family. She had never been so lowly and disrespectful to others since she was a child. Now, if it weren't for the future of her family, she would

It’s not like I would lift my biological mother up so high.

"Mom took so much trouble, even I didn't think so much."

In front of Ye Yun and his wife, Zhou Yang has always been good at talking. Although he is taciturn, he can always express his gratitude to his parents-in-law appropriately without being arrogant. This is what pleases the two elders the most.

"No matter where you are, it's right to entertain your mother-in-law well. It's right."

Feng Xuan's eyes were full of sincere smiles, and the slight depression in her heart disappeared with her son-in-law's considerate words. As she spoke, she couldn't help but look at Ye Yingning, who was sitting next to Zhou Yang——

She didn't seem to have much of an appetite. The chopsticks on her hand were genuine silver chopsticks. She had been here a few times before and the meal was so heavy that even her wrists felt sore. Or maybe the people who came here to eat didn't care what they ate. It’s even less common to hold up a table full of delicacies, all of them empty-handed.

In front of me is an appetizing bowl of almond cheese, which has been chilled before being served. The outside of the transparent glass bowl is covered with a layer of crystal clear water drops, which slide down drop by drop. The white and tender cheese is topped with a layer of osmanthus sugar, like a This splash-ink landscape painting has a sweet artistic conception inadvertently.

"Let me get you a piece of fish to eat."

The man beside her suddenly spoke, and without waiting for Ye Yingning to reply, he actually picked up a piece of tender fish meat and shoved it into her empty bowl.

With elders from both parties present, Ye Yingning couldn't refuse, so she had to grab the chopsticks, pick them up and put them in her mouth.

It’s not that she doesn’t like fish, she just hates the tiny thorns that are everywhere and finds them troublesome.

After chewing a few times, Ye Yingning's eyes lit up. It wasn't that the fish tasted too delicious, but that it really had no thorns at all as Zhou Yang said.

"It's really not thorny. How did you do it?"

Ye Yingning laughed like a child, bit her chopsticks and looked at Zhou Yang.

He was stunned for a moment, then chuckled to himself, and moved closer to her, his thin lips almost leaning against her ear, as if he was whispering love words to her in public.

"Do you really have a bad memory, or have you never cared about anything related to me? How many times have I served you with fish meat without bones? Count it yourself. From the time of the blind date to just now, there have been at least More than a dozen times."

After saying that, Zhou Yang stood up decisively, nodded to the elders, and said in a loud voice: "I'm going to the bathroom, you three can use it if you please."

*****

Washing his hands extremely slowly, Zhou Yang raised his head and looked at himself in the mirror.

He felt as if he had put on a heavy mask, and his entire face became stiff, emotionless, cold and numb.

The waiter next to him handed over a hot towel. Zhou Yang wiped his hands and gave him a tip. When he walked out, he saw Ye Yingning standing on the other side of the corridor, waiting for him quietly.

"Why did you come out?"

He raised his eyebrows, quite surprised, and raised his hand to rub his temples. This kind of high-end hotel was like a gorgeous prison, and one meal could make people breathless.

"I'm afraid you'll run away."

Ye Yingning looked up at him, he was very tall, and she was wearing shoes with a heel of only three centimeters today.

After saying that, she even laughed.

Zhou Yang didn't say anything else, he just walked over to her, reached out and took Ye Yingning's hand.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Her heart suddenly calmed down, but at the same time, Ye Yingning couldn't help but secretly despise herself. She knew clearly that her compromise was not done willingly, but for the sake of family business.

Sure enough, when they saw the two people walking in holding hands, and not long after they took their seats, Xie Junrou, who had been chatting, changed the topic and took the initiative to ask about the listing of Yurun Pearl.

She had already inquired about the whole situation, but now she was just bringing up old things again and looking for an excuse.

"Actually, it's really a headache to talk about this matter, but it's not a major matter that can determine life or death..."

Xie Junrou slowly picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then spoke leisurely, seeming to have a solution.

Ye Yun and his wife's eyes lit up. In fact, they had consulted many lawyers and economists before, and the advice they gave was the same, that is, asset integration.
