“Brother Hai, come and try my imported cocktail. It’s not bad to drink as a drink, especially in this hot weather. It’s simply cooling.”
“I have one too. I just brought it back yesterday. Brother Hai, try mine too.”
The compliments of the CEOs resounded throughout the entire front yard of the villa, making Ye Hai feel comfortable. He liked the feeling of being flattered. It was noble and classy.
Beside him, many young masters blended into the crowd and praised Ye Hai. At this moment, a young master suddenly spoke.
“Hey, Brother Hai, where’s your Pagani? Why don’t I see you drive it anymore?”
Hearing this, Ye Hai’s flushed face immediately darkened. He thought of what had happened in Jinling and could not help but feel regret and hatred.
If he hadn’t gone to Jinling at that time, his Pagani wouldn’t have been won by the other party. In the end, it was all because of those jinxes from the collateral branches.
At the thought of this, Ye Hai was even more displeased. He raised his eyes and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a yellow taxi driving straight over. He was stunned.
“Is this… a taxi?”
Just as he finished muttering, a group of beauties in gowns alighted from the taxi, as well as two older elders and a little child.
When everyone saw this, they paused for a moment before immediately discussing.
“Who is this? Why do they look so unfamiliar?”
“I think they’re from the collateral branch of the Ye family. I’ve never seen them before. Anyway, they’re not important. Don’t worry about them.”
“Indeed. What kind of background can they have by taking a taxi? Don’t care about these collateral relatives.”
“I’m curious. How could they have the cheek to take a taxi here? Moreover, they’re from the collateral branch. No matter what, they’re related by blood. Isn’t this embarrassing for their family?”
“Who knows? Maybe their family situation isn’t too good? What the hell, they’re just collateral relatives. Don’t worry too much about it.”
“That’s true. They’re just collateral relatives anyway. I can’t be bothered.”
…
While the CEOs and young masters were discussing, Ye Hai didn’t say anything. He walked towards Ye Xuan and the others with a fake smile and spoke unhappily.
“Are you here? You’re dressed well. This gown looks good, but why did you come in a taxi? Did the car break down or did your chauffeur go on strike?”
The others followed behind Ye Hai. When they heard Ye Hai’s words, they echoed.
“That’s right. Why did you dare to come in a taxi? Are the members of the Ye family going to embarrass the Ye family?”
“This is a little impolite. It’s the birthday of the Old Master. You should at least drive a car worth a million yuan. At the very least, it should be worth a few hundred thousand yuan. It’s really impolite to take a taxi.”
“I don’t know how you collateral relatives educate your descendants, but why don’t you have any manners? Now that the times have improved, it’s true that there aren’t so many old rules, but you can’t come so unreasonably, right? If the Old Master sees this, how can he be in a good mood?”
“It’s fine if you’re going somewhere else, but you’re so unreasonable when you return to your family. What kind of logic is this? You’re embarrassing your own family. You really don’t follow any rules.”
Everyone scolded them unkindly, making the Ye sisters furious. Although Ye Hongliang and Sun Xiaoqin were also very unhappy, they could not say anything.
Just as they were talking, a middle-aged man on the other side saw the situation and walked over. When he saw that it was Ye Xuan and the other collateral relatives, a faint smile appeared on his face and he spoke calmly.
“You’re here. Since you’re here, come in and pay your respects to the Old Master. You should have come earlier to help the family at the banquet. You’re only here now. Forget it, forget it. Come in and pay your respects.”
He spoke in the tone of an elder caring for a junior. His slightly arrogant attitude made Ye Hongliang a little unhappy. After all, they were of the same generation, but Ye Hongliang was trampled on and looked down on because he was only a collateral relative. It was really uncomfortable.
However, he couldn’t say anything. He nodded and led the Ye sisters and Ye Xuan into the villa’s banquet hall behind the middle-aged man.
Ye Hai watched coldly as they escaped danger. He snorted and muttered with a crooked mouth.
“A group of jinxes. You came by taxi. You’re lucky. Otherwise, I would have definitely embarrassed you jinxes today.”
After saying that, he followed them into the villa’s banquet hall. His figure was filled with arrogance.
Seeing this, the surrounding CEOs and young masters also followed behind. They smoked cigars and chatted as they walked towards the banquet hall. After all, they had to pay their respects first, so they had to go through the procedures.
There were already dozens of tables in the banquet hall. They were arranged on the left and right. The number and location of the tables were very particular. It looked like a fengshui layout.
There was a two-table-wide path in the middle that was paved with a red carpet. As it was a birthday banquet, it naturally had to be more prosperous. The red carpet symbolized fire and meant endless life.
There were a few chairs at the end of the path. At this moment, the Old Master was sitting on the dragon-headed seat in the middle. He was wearing a classical Chinese tunic suit and had a jade thumb ring on his right thumb. His expression was calm and dignified.
Behind him stood the children of the main family, who were the direct descendants of the Old Master. Their attitudes were respectful and their faces were filled with smiles. They warmly watched as the CEOs walked over with birthday gifts.
The atmosphere was solemn and strict. The entire hall was filled with power, causing the hearts of the CEOs to tremble slightly. Fortunately, with their status, they could still suppress it.
Hence, they welcomed him warmly and politely. They smiled and sent their blessings.
“Congratulations to the Old Master on your birthday. Your blessings are like the East Sea, and the sun and moon are bright. This is my congratulatory gift. These are ten boxes of caterpillar fungus. Please accept it.”
“I hope that the Old Master remains prosperous forever and never grows old. I hope that you will feel refreshed and happy. This is a small token of my appreciation, three hundred-year-old ginsengs.”
“Congratulations to the Old Master for increasing your wealth, lifespan, and fortune. He will add light, color, and auspiciousness. I hope that your fortune is like the East Sea, and that your lifespan is as long as the South Mountain! I hereby present two ten catties of deer antlers to the Old Master to express my sincerity!”
“I’m a dumb person. I can’t say anything obedient. This is the mink skin and bear gallbladder that I specially bought at a high price. I’m offering it to the Old Master as a gift.”
“I hope that the Old Master has today’s glory forever. This is a small gift from me. I hope you can accept the jade and agate pearls.”
…
All the CEOs sent gifts. The Old Master’s children warmly went forward to receive the gifts with smiles on their faces. The Old Master also smiled and nodded as he spoke politely.
“Welcome, CEOs. I’ll accept this gift. Come, feel free to sit anywhere. Everyone, be more casual. Don’t be so polite.”
