Chapter 653 653: A Lavish Family Banquet


"Yes, I was just admiring this luxurious Chengdu."


"This neighborhood was developed by our company."


"What? Developed by yourselves? That's really impressive."


"Well, it's alright. It's probably the most high-end villa area in the surrounding cities. Ah, here it is."


As they talked, the car drove up to the front, and eventually, a large iron gate opened, allowing the car to slowly enter.


After getting out of the car, Ye Chen looked around the courtyard, estimating it to be at least 200 square meters.


One could say it was beautifully decorated, with an open-air swimming pool in the center, the water in it clear to the bottom.


"Ye Chen, you've had a long trip."


Just then, a very familiar voice came over. Ye Chen quickly turned around, and standing there was Guo Tao, accompanied by Li Fu.


After seeing all this, he hurriedly walked up and then gently supported the old man with both hands.


"Old Master, you even came out to greet me personally."


"Hehe, what personal greeting? I meant to wait for you at the highway exit, but this child wouldn't let me go."


"Grandpa, what are you talking about? How could I let you come to pick us up? Uncle Ada and I ended up doing it, right?"


"Alright, alright, the same. Come in, don't stand outside. We can familiarize with the environment later if there's time. Come inside, the meal is ready."


Talking, they followed Guo Tao into the magnificent hall.


In the center of the main hall, there was a long marble dining table,


laden with a variety of rich dishes on top.


"Look, I didn't know what dishes you liked, and I also deliberately chose to dine at home to make it feel homier. Come, see if these dishes taste good. I had the kitchen staff prepare a bit of every cuisine possible."


Just after entering, the old man warmly welcomed him here.


In fact, upon arriving, Ye Chen was deeply moved by the reception scene before him.


There were about sixty or seventy dishes on the table, and Ye Chen did a rough count.


At a normal family banquet, how could there be so many dishes? He could clearly see the level of importance the Old Master placed on this feast.


"Old Master, this is more than enough, and besides, there are only a few of us, we can't possibly eat all this."


"No worries, if we can't finish, we can save the rest, and there are a lot of servants below, they can share it as well. I just worried that some dishes might not suit your taste, especially since this is your first time here."


"Old Master, you're too polite; I'll just eat a bit."


"Alright, you've had a long journey, why don't you sit down now? How about a drink?"


"Hehe, Old Master, you know, I'm not much of a drinker."


"Alright, I won't insist then. The rest of you, start with some wine. I'm happy to have a drink with you today."


While saying this, he gestured to the side, and soon two servants came over, pouring a glass of red wine for each person.


The cups clinked, and the people there were engaged in lively conversations, but it was clear that Lin Yaru was not in the right state of mind.


Anying adapted quickly with Ye Chen; after all, they had arrived in a new environment and must fully integrate to tackle the present issues head-on.


The Old Master, so warmly treating today, if he did not take all this in hand, it would likely seem disrespectful.


So no matter how Lin Yaru was feeling, Ye Chen consistently maintained a good demeanor, adeptly managing everything here.


He had noticed Lin Yaru's state; however, there was nothing to be done as Lin Yaru was truly unable to adapt now, but he believed everything would stabilize slowly in time.


"Miss Lin, how are you? Have you eaten your fill?"


The Old Master had also realized this, but he guessed there might be some issues, though as a woman, it was not convenient for him to meddle too much.


"Oh, it's quite good."


"Good, that's great. By the way, about your job, do you have time tomorrow? I've arranged to meet a few hospital directors, and then you can choose whichever hospital you prefer."


"Old Master, I think, I'd like to settle down for a few days first; I'm not ready to dive into work immediately."


"Alright, no problem, I fully respect your choice. If you want to rest, you rest; if you want to work, you work, I am at your beck and call."


"Hehe, Old Master, look at you, making me seem so important with your 'beck and call'; aren't you flattering me a bit too much?"


"You are Mr. Liu's person, so, I must respect; no matter what, therefore, I absolutely must keep this in mind. Well, if that's the case, it seems today's events are pretty much wrapped up then?"


Saying this, he turned to look at the others.


They had talked quite a lot today, but they had always avoided touching on earlier issues, continuing to discuss other matters instead.


"Zhenyu, have you finished eating? Once you're done, take them to the villa next door, let them see if there's anything missing in their rooms, and if needed, list everything down, and tomorrow, we'll arrange workers to go buy everything at once."


"Yes, Grandpa, I understand. Brother Ye Chen, let's go; it's right next door, just a three-minute walk from here."


Upon hearing this, Ye Chen just paused for a moment.


He only knew that this was a very upscale villa complex, and he had never imagined that he would be living here.
