Just as He Jinxuan and the others thought, Gao Yumei, having returned home not long ago, thought of the Ye Family. "Jian Country, since the third couple wonât help us, we need to think of another way."
He Jian Country looked grim. "If even our own brothers wonât help, who else can we go to?"
Gao Yumei huddled closer to him. "Go find the Ye Family people."
He Jian Country suddenly lifted his head. "Yes, youâre right."
Gao Yumei continued, "Since theyâre here to thank the He Family, we should get a share too. The Ye Family gave such expensive gifts to our parents-in-law, and in the end, it benefited the eldest house."
Hearing this, He Jian Country also felt it made sense. "Alright, thereâs no time to waste. With things turning out like this, I guess the third couple wonât stay any longer."
Saying that, the couple stood up simultaneously and hurriedly walked out.
But in the end, they were a step too late. When they went out, they saw the eldest, He Jiefang, and the fifthâs wife, Guo Yueyue, turning to head back.
The two were shocked. He Jian Country couldnât hold back his temper. "What are you doing here?"
Guo Yueyue looked down on the second couple more and more. "My third brother and sister-in-law left. We came to see them off."
Upon hearing they had left, Gao Yumei exclaimed, "What, theyâve left?"
She anxiously looked at He Jian Country. "What should we do?"
He Jian Country didnât hesitate. "Go."
Saying that, he was the first to run towards the street corner.
Seeing him run away, Gao Yumei quickly chased after him.
Guo Yueyue sneered. "What do they mean by this, chasing after them to borrow money?"
He Jiefang shook his head in disappointment. "They wonât turn back until they hit a wall. Let them be, we canât interfere anymore."
They thought the second couple was chasing after the third couple but didnât know they were actually going for the Ye Family people.
He Jinxuan and the others were in a car, naturally faster, and had already planned to go out today. The Ye Family had packed early, waiting in readiness.
Hearing they had arrived, they all came down.
He Jinxuan only said that they would head directly back to the Capital after playing today. They would go play first and let Mr. Yeâs people pack things and check out afterward.
They would then meet up later.
By the time He Jian Country and his wife arrived at the hotel, they didnât even catch a glimpse of Mr. Ye and his people, making Gao Yumei stomp her foot in anger. "It must be the third coupleâs doing."
He Jian Country, quick-eyed, spotted some of Mr. Yeâs people and quickly ran over. "Where are your master and the others?"
Fearing that they might be chased after, He Jinxuan instructed them to say they had gone back to the Capital if anyone came looking.
These people were shrewd and, seeing someone truly after them, replied, "The master went back to the Capital. Weâre in the midst of checking out and packing our things, soon leaving as well. Is there anything we can help with?"
They wouldnât dare admit to these people that they were here to borrow money, so they had no choice but to wave them off. "No, just passing by, you carry on with your work."
Meanwhile, He Jinxuan and the others reached their destination for the day, conveniently on the way back to the Capital. There was a large ice rink here where they could skate and ride ice sleds.
Not just the two kids, even Xinyan was thoroughly enjoying herself.
With He Jinxuan and Ye Liyan watching over them, the five of them happily played on the ice rink, bursts of laughter resounding now and then.
Mr. Ye watched over them from the sidelines. To him, this year was particularly meaningful, strengthening his resolve to return home and develop there.
Once they returned to the Capital, he would go abroad to handle matters there. He wouldnât let that woman come back to be a nuisance to his son and grandson. It was time to settle things between them.
