Chapter 2106: Chapter 2066: Wealth Unreturned to One’s Hometown Is Like Wearing Fine Clothes at Night
When Ye Qiu returned to the Peach Blossom Spring Villa, he found that the house was filled with many new items that Ye Weidong and his wife, along with Ye Xue and Xiaomai, had bought from a nearby large mall that morning.
"Dad, I have many friends coming back home with me to have fun."
"The more, the merrier. I’ve already informed the folks back home; we’ll slaughter two big fat pigs then,"
Ye Weidong said heartily.
It’s been many years since it was this lively.
This time going back, they must make it grand to show those people what a good son Ye Weidong has.
Ye Qiu couldn’t be bothered with Ye Weidong and went upstairs on his own.
When it was lunchtime, coming down for a meal, he was also preparing to go to Jin University to pick up Liu Lingxiu.
Ye Qiu’s phone rang. It was Ling Fei calling.
"Ling Fei, it’s me."
"Ye Qiu, Tiantian said she wants to go play in East Sea with us over the National Day."
"Can’t go, I need to go back home for some things."
Going back home?
Isn’t Ye Qiu’s hometown supposed to be over by Jinling, Jiangbei?
Ling Fei also always thought Ye Qiu was from there.
"Going back home? What for?"
"Visiting graves and reconnecting with family."
Oh, that must be something important in Ling Fei’s eyes.
Ye Qiu definitely can’t make it to East Sea.
Ling Fei actually wanted to go too, but she wasn’t as bold as Li Qianqian and didn’t know how to say it.
"Alright then."
After hanging up, Ye Qiu drove over to Jin University, and by the time he arrived, Liu Lingxiu was already in the girl’s dormitory packing, waiting for Ye Qiu to arrive.
Originally Chen Wen and another girl wanted to go somewhere with Liu Lingxiu during the National Day, but when they heard that Liu Lingxiu was going back home with Ye Qiu, they naturally thought it best not to intrude.
When Ye Qiu parked the car near the boys’ dormitory, the first class of the afternoon had already started.
In the large public classroom, Su Luoluo and Bai Yun were sitting in a row listening attentively to the lecture, but Bai Yun noticed that in the direction of Li Wen, there was no sign of Liu Lingxiu.
Liu Lingxiu and Su Luoluo were in the Economics Academy and were the top students in Economics, but surprisingly, Liu Lingxiu wasn’t in class today.
"Luoluo, isn’t Liu Lingxiu in class today?"
For a long time now, Su Luoluo had been paying attention to Liu Lingxiu. She was curious as to why she seemed to have lost to this formerly unnoticed mute girl.
Unbeknownst to her, after Ye Qiu cured her ailment, Liu Lingxiu seemed to have become different.
Moreover, Liu Lingxiu was acknowledged by Ye Qiu as his official girlfriend, so Su Luoluo kept reflecting on why she had lost to Liu Lingxiu.
"Maybe she just went to the bathroom or something," Su Luoluo said.
The three girls kept watching but still didn’t see any sign of Liu Lingxiu.
Eventually, when they got the news, it turned out Liu Lingxiu had asked for leave in the morning and didn’t come to class in the afternoon.
Meanwhile, Ye Qiu was downstairs at the girl’s dormitory, helping Liu Lingxiu carry a bunch of things to her car. Once they were loaded up, Ye Qiu prepared to leave.
At that moment, Ye Qiu’s phone rang, it was Song Ying calling.
"Hey, Ye Qiu, where are you?"
"I just picked up Lingshow, leaving from my place at 3 PM."
"Should I drive over?"
"Up to you."
It didn’t matter if she drove or not, there would be plenty of cars heading back anyway.
Ye Qiu drove back towards the Peach Blossom Source Villa Community.
Upon arriving back at the villa community, Ye Qiu’s phone rang again. This time it was Ling Fei, somewhat embarrassed, saying, "Ye Qiu, Tiantian said she wants to go back home with you."
"Sure!" Ye Qiu replied.
"Then, can I come along to take care of her?"
This was clearly just a way for this girl to say she also wanted to go without explicitly saying it.
"Of course, the more the merrier. Are you guys coming over, or should I pick you up? We’ll leave at exactly three."
It was already a bit past two in the afternoon.
So, if they were going to come, they had to come now.
"Tiantian’s mom will drop us off."
"Alright, I’ll wait for you at home then."
After getting off the car, Liu Lingxiu hadn’t expected so many people to be going.
Back at the villa.
Soon after, Li Shen called again.
Now both Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming had called.
And Luo Yang and Ning Yun also heard about it and wanted to join to take a look.
"They all want to go," said Li Shen over the phone.
"Then have them all come, my dad would love it."
Now Ye Weidong wanted to make a big show of it, so the more, the merrier.
As they say, this was a triumphant return home, a chance for Ye Weidong to gain some face.
Originally, from Ye Qiu’s perspective, his old family home might have been too run-down to stay in since it hadn’t been maintained, so with so many people, they would surely be staying at a hotel in town.
"Dad, call them now, get the best hotel in town booked, double the price if you have to."
Book it all?
"Are that many people going?"
"What do you think?"
"I’ll have your third uncle handle it."
"Get it done now, don’t want to arrive and have no place to stay."
Given the situation, they definitely needed to stay in a hotel in town.
Honestly, Ye Qiu had no recollection of his old home because as a child, he might have gone back a few times, but he had no memory of it, which led to Ye Qiu feeling like it was his first time going back.
"Dad, have I ever gone back before?"
"When you were one, two, three years old, you went back, but after your grandpa passed, we didn’t go back," Chen Fang explained.
No wonder his past self had no memory, turns out that was the reason.
Actually, it was largely because after Ye Xue’s foot got hurt, when they went back the villagers mocked them behind their backs, so Ye Weidong and his wife didn’t want to bring them back anymore.
Plus, times were tough back then, only when something major happened would Ye Weidong return, otherwise, he didn’t want to go back home at all.
Soon after, Ye Weidong came downstairs.
"Ye Qiu, your third uncle found someone to book the entire big hotel in town. A fifty-thousand deposit was made."
"That’s fine, all my friends will stay there, whether it’s full or not doesn’t matter."
Not only Ye Qiu’s friends but those rich young ladies, as well as Ye Qiu, Xiaomai, and Ye Xue, would be staying at the hotel. Only Ye Weidong and his wife would probably stay with relatives in the village.
By about 2:40 in the afternoon, Li Shen and Zhu Zhiming arrived separately in their cars, both driving BMWs now.
Luo Yang and Ning Yun also showed up in BMWs.
Zhou Shaohui and the others came along riding in Luo Yang’s car.
Apart from them, several other classmates also wanted to join in.
"Class President, we all want to come along and have a look, is that alright?" a male student asked.
"It’s fine, my dad just booked the hotel in town, there will be enough places to stay."
Wealthy people do things differently, they have a certain style.
So generous!
