Chapter 2133: Chapter 2093: Elder Ye Returns Again
Ye Qiu prepared to say goodbye to his cousins and then head back first.
As for Ye Weidong and his wife, they definitely wouldn’t be returning that quickly.
"Uncles, we’re planning to head back to Jinling now and might return for the Spring Festival. As for the new house, we’ll leave it to you. We’ll send you the design plans directly, so just follow them."
Ye Qiu wanted to personally design a truly innovative piece of architecture, but he planned to work on the design drawings back at the Jinling Villa.
As Ye Qiu was about to leave with Liu Lingxiu and the others, he saw the village chief of Ye Family rushing over again.
"Mr. Ye, the people from the Zhu Family are here again."
The Zhu Family?
"What do they want from me?"
"Probably to plead for leniency."
"Can’t be bothered with them."
Ye Qiu naturally couldn’t be bothered.
"Ye Qiu, they said we are all from the same village, and it would be awkward to see each other day in and out."
Fellow villagers?
Haha, if you’ve got money, you’re a fellow villager.
When villagers meet, their eyes are filled with tears.
In reality, exploitation and deceit are usually among villagers because strangers couldn’t easily access them.
Who would’ve thought they’d be so shameless to play the sentimental card now.
"I asked them to bring the culprit who vandalized my grandfather’s grave; did they find him?"
Ye Qiu had already spoken to them about this.
He wanted them to kneel and apologize for three days and nights in front of his grandfather’s grave, but he hadn’t seen a sign of them.
"Seems they haven’t found him."
"Then forget it. Between me and the descendants of the Zhu Family Grave, there’s no chance of reconciliation. If they dare to provoke me, I definitely won’t let them off."
Ye Weidong and the others wanted to say something but eventually stayed silent.
Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu made their way to the car.
Once in the car, they left the area.
The group was naturally planning to leave Ye Family Village, head to the town, pack up, and then return in the direction of Jinling.
Ye Qiu might have a certain feeling about Ye Family Village.
Returning to the hotel in town.
The hotel owner and security knew that a friend of Ye Qiu had lost a very valuable painting. However, when the police were called to investigate, no trace was found.
Ye Qiu had lost quite a few paintings both domestically and internationally, and their prices online are quite high now.
Like the one Liu Lingxiu and the others had taken, it’s already online valued at over ten million.
This was a loss of over ten million, equivalent to a luxury home.
This had put Song Ying, who was previously in a good mood, in a bit of a depression.
Though she wouldn’t have sold that painting, its disappearance was unexpected.
"Mr. Ye, truly sorry, but that painting of your friend’s is too valuable; even if our hotel were sold, we couldn’t compensate for it," the hotel owner apologized awkwardly.
This hotel was worth only a few million, and indeed selling the hotel wouldn’t cover it.
So, he offered to waive their accommodation fees as compensation.
Of course, he knew the identity of this young man.
A young man who could trample the descendants of the Zhu Family Grave definitely wasn’t ordinary.
"Selling the hotel? Forget it, you don’t need to compensate for the painting, and we’ll still pay for the accommodation so you won’t suffer a huge loss."
"Mr. Ye, you’re too kind," the hotel owner hadn’t expected the young man to be so reasonable; he thought for sure compensation would be demanded.
After all, the painting was missing without a trace, and even though the police were informed, who knew when they could find it.
Under these circumstances, if Ye Qiu and his friend pursued it, compensation would certainly be demanded.
And considering Ye Qiu had blown up the Zhu Family Grave, the owner assumed he was an unreasonable young man.
"No worries." Everyone went up to pack their things.
Besides the fifty thousand deposit his third uncle paid earlier, because they had initially agreed to book it at double the price.
A total of seven days and nights, averaging about fifteen thousand a day.
Subtracting the deposit, Ye Qiu paid the remaining balance.
Ye Qiu’s things, not those of Liu Lingxiu, were packed, and once taken down,
they planned to return the same way they came.
"Boss, didn’t they say Mr. Ye has a unique way of handling things?" After Ye Qiu and the group drove off, a hotel manager whispered.
The boss, who was out on business, had rushed back upon hearing a big incident occurred at the hotel.
"Who knows what the rich think."
Anyway, they knew that this young man with the surname Ye was someone not to be messed with in the county, or even in the surrounding area.
Ye Qiu drove away, heading straight to the county, and beyond that to the highway leading to Jinling. However, today was the last day of the National Day holiday, so there were quite a few people on the road.
Luckily, it wasn’t too far. Even with some traffic, by three in the afternoon, they returned to the Peach Blossom Spring Villa.
Back at the villa, except for Luo Yang and the others who first dropped off those classmates.
These young ladies were now all gathered here.
After a week away, Ye Qiu found this place to be much more comfortable.
While Xiaomai was cleaning up, Ye Qiu said, "Let’s have dinner first tonight before heading back."
When Ye Qiu went back to the second floor, these young women were in the first-floor living room watching TV and chatting.
Of course, they had brought back all their paintings.
Except for Song Ying’s which was missing.
Song Ying became more upset the more she thought about it and went upstairs.
"Ye Qiu, what about my painting?"
"You don’t expect me to paint it again, right? I don’t have any inspiration now. Let’s see if we can find it first and then retrieve it."
"Can it still be found?" Song Ying didn’t believe it at all.
With its value widely known online, how could the thief not hold onto it?
"Don’t worry, if anyone tries to trade or auction your painting, I’ll get it back for you. Even if I paint a new one for you, it wouldn’t be the same."
Song Ying thought about it and agreed.
So, she didn’t feel as upset as before.
As Ye Qiu was about to start playing games on his computer, his phone rang.
It was a call from Cao Ling.
"Cao Ling, did you miss me?"
Of course, Cao Ling missed Ye Qiu.
However, she hadn’t accompanied Ye Qiu to his hometown this time because she had things to do.
"Of course, but there’s something I want to tell you."
"What’s that?"
"That old man Ye has come to Jinling again, and it seems he’s planning to stay for a long time. I’ve heard he’s going to live in a sanatorium in Jinling."
Old man Ye?
Isn’t it that old guy from the Capital City?
Ye Qiu, hearing this, knew for sure that it was about him.
Thinking about it annoyed him, so he said, "Last time, we cleared that up. My grandfather passed away, and today we just reburied him."
