487: Even in the bustling city, no one cares.

The standard spread of fish, shrimp, and crab, a plate of braised lion-head goose, a plate of mantis shrimp, a pot of pig trotters braised by Su Wan, plus beef with Chinese kale, a plate of green vegetables, and a pot of beef ball soup.

Ye Su came home today, and Su Wan had been busy in the kitchen since the afternoon, preparing eight dishes and one soup, all of which were Ye Su's favorites.

"Time to eat!"

Ye Ruo, who was benefiting from Ye Su's return, took a few photos before picking up her chopsticks and eating with such gusto that she forgot where she was.

Ye Jianguo and Ye Xin ate while asking Ye Su about the business he was doing in Guangzhou, taking the opportunity to discuss the recent business of the garment factory and the online store.

Regarding this, Ye Su only picked out a few things he could talk about, managing to gloss over his affairs in Guangzhou.

With Su Wan's assistance, which kept Ye Jianguo and his son talking about work during the meal, Ye Su was able to get through it smoothly.

Just like that, the first meal after Ye Su returned lasted for an hour, with the whole family eating happily.

Even Ye Ruo, who had been tormenting Ye Su since childhood, was visibly happier than usual to see the whole family eating together.

After the meal, the three men, Ye Jianguo and his sons, used the set of [Health] tea sets that Ye Su had specifically brought back to chat and make tea in the living room.

"Hmm?"

As the first cup of tea touched his lips, Ye Jianguo felt amazed:

"Brewing tea with this set really makes it more fragrant!"

Ye Jianguo was brewing the tea leaves he usually drank, so the taste was naturally very familiar to him.

But he discovered that when brewing with the tea set Ye Su brought, the flavor of the tea soup was significantly better than usual.

After tasting a cup of tea, Ye Xin also reached the same conclusion as Ye Jianguo.

"Right?" Ye Su had already prepared an excuse: "My friend said that this tea set is made of high-quality purple clay, which is the most suitable for brewing tea."

Ye Jianguo praised sincerely: "It's truly excellent."

After saying that, Ye Jianguo poured another cup of tea for the three of them.

Just as Su Wan and Ye Ruo finished washing the dishes and returned to the living room, ready to try the tea set Ye Su brought to see if it was really as good as Ye Jianguo said, an untimely female voice came from the doorway:

"Su Wan, I heard that ASu came back tonight, right?"

"Yes," Su Wan replied immediately upon hearing the commotion: "He only arrived after five o'clock."

"Aunt Xia."

The three siblings, Ye Su and his siblings, greeted the newcomer in a lukewarm manner.

The person who arrived was named Su Yanxia, a relative on Su Wan's side; their grandfathers were brothers.

As for why the three siblings' attitude toward Su Yanxia was lukewarm.

It was naturally because during the Chinese New Year, when the family was going through tough times, Su Yanxia acted as if she was afraid they would borrow money, avoiding their house from afar and not even daring to visit during the New Year.

The three siblings were not the type to use moral blackmail, feeling that just because they had trouble at home, others must help them.

However, adversity reveals true feelings, and hard times reveal people's hearts. For such relatives who only existed in name, but when real trouble struck, hid from their family like they were avoiding a plague, the three siblings couldn't be bothered with hypocritical pleasantries.

Su Yanxia ignored the lukewarm reaction of the three siblings, sat down, and first chatted enthusiastically with Su Wan:

"I heard ASu made a lot of money outside and even bought a luxury car worth millions. It's the one parked outside, right? Oh my, you two have raised ASu for so many years, now that he has become successful, you two have finally made it."

Once these words were spoken, how could Ye Su not know that this was aimed at him.

But Ye Su didn't understand how Su Yanxia got such quick information, knowing he drove a Lamborghini back when he had only been home for a few hours.

From the time he returned until now, besides the few people in the family, only the neighbor Qian Xiaoyan knew he drove back.

Ye Su guessed that if it wasn't her spreading the word, it was her gossiping with her family or neighbors, and others passed it on.

Sure enough, there are no airtight walls in a small county town.

A trivial matter, passed around by a few people, and everyone knows about it.

"What becoming successful or not, as long as the child is safe and in good Health outside, we as parents are satisfied."

"Oh, ASu is capable now, of course you would say that. If the ones in my family were as capable, I would wake up laughing in my dreams."

While speaking, a flash of eager light crossed Su Yanxia's eyes, and her face was full of smiles, as she asked Ye Su [super casually]:

"ASu is so capable, driving a car worth millions, even better than the cars driven by the big bosses in our county. I wonder what kind of business you are doing over in Guangzhou?"

"It's nothing much, just following some friends, trading some stocks, and doing a little business."

"That's amazing." Su Yanxia gave a thumbs up: "Not even graduated yet, and already knows how to trade stocks and do business."

After flattering him, Su Yanxia smiled flatteringly: "Since you are so capable now, if you have any connections outside, you must bring along your older male cousin and Older Female Cousin."

"Forget about me." Ye Su said with a forced smile:

"Business is hard to do now, and who knows when I might lose the money I earned. I also have to rely on a few friends to lead me, so how would I have the ability to lead others to make money."

Being rejected so bluntly, just as Su Yanxia was about to say something else, there was movement at the door again.

"Jianguo, I heard that ASu came back tonight, right?"

The same opening line, but this time it was replaced by a middle-aged man, and the person being greeted had also changed to Ye Jianguo.

Hearing this voice, Ye Su knew it was another relative with a distant relationship who didn't dare to visit during the New Year.

Afterwards, one after another, several more relatives and friends who didn't dare to deal with the family after the family factory closed down, entered Ye Su's home, saying similar opening lines.

This scene also confirmed what is meant by [No one asks about the poor in a bustling market, but the rich have distant relatives in the deep mountains].

"Haven't seen you for a few months, ASu, you've become even more handsome."

"Handsome and capable, Ye Jianguo, Su Wan, you will be blessed in the future."

"ASu is so handsome, there must be many female classmates chasing you at school, right?"

"Since you're back for the holidays, why didn't you bring a girlfriend back for your parents to see?"

Facing the flattery of the relatives, Su Wan could only wave her hand, smiling forcedly to help Ye Su decline:

"ASu hasn't even graduated from university yet, why would he bring a girlfriend back?"

"Huh?"

When the house became noisy because of these relatives visiting, Su Yanxia realized that her attention had been entirely on Ye Su just now, and she hadn't noticed the bracelet on Su Wan's wrist:

"Su Wan, this bracelet of yours is quite pretty. When did you buy it?"

With one sentence, she attracted the eyes of several people present to Su Wan's wrist.

"You mean this?" Su Wan blocked it with her hand: "This is what ASu brought me from Guangzhou."

"Haha." A relative seized the opportunity and praised:

"It really takes someone like ASu who goes to school in a big city to know how to buy things. The material of this bracelet looks better than what is sold in the shops around here at a glance."

"That's right."

Hearing that the topic she brought up was [hijacked] by someone else, Su Yanxia was unwilling and immediately snatched the topic back:

"It really is your good taste, ASu. It seems I also have to give you money and ask you to help me buy one."
