Chapter 462 - Wealth in the deep mountains brings distant relatives poverty in the bustling city brings no one to inquire
Opening Chapter 462 of "City's Best Divine Doctor": In the earlier years, these countryside relatives heard that Ye Weidong and his wife were... Read on for more!
In the earlier years, these countryside relatives heard that Ye Weidong and his wife were not doing well in Jinling City, only running a very small congee and noodle shop.
The family of four squeezed into an old three-room apartment in a rundown neighborhood, with less space than they had for livestock back in the countryside.
However, over the past two months, they suddenly heard that Ye Weidong and his wife had undergone a significant change.
The old congee and noodle shop had closed down, and in its place, a restaurant had opened.
They even hired Ye Fugui, a contractor from the countryside, to renovate it.
Moreover, they heard that the formerly timid, weak, and poorly-performing Ye Qiu had, after a car accident, suddenly started performing very well in school.
But what surprised them even more was that this luxury house was bought by Ye Qiu.
Now, as Ye Weidong and his wife led these forty-some relatives into the residential area, these relatives and friends, entering a large cityâs luxury residential area for the first time, were at a loss for words upon seeing the environment.
âWeidong, youâre amazing!
You have to help our family in the future!â
âYeah, my kid is still in college and we donât have much money.â
âYouâre joking, itâs all because of Ye Qiu.
Iâm just an old man benefiting from my sonâs success.
Whether you get help depends on Ye Qiu, asking me wonât do any good,â Ye Weidong said.
The relatives and friends quickly followed Ye Weidong and his wife to the nearly thousand-square-meter three-story luxury villa, seeing many guests had already arrived.
However, they hadnât seen Ye Qiu in a long time and couldnât recognize him anymore.
As these relatives brought their children inside, Ye Qiu was upstairs on the second floor, chatting with Liu Lingxiu, Li Qianqian, Shen Xingru, Shen Yueru, Zhao Ruxue, Zhao Rubing, Liu Xia, and Xiao Hong.
Currently, people only knew that Ye Qiu seemed to have a girlfriend named Liu Lingxiu.
However, Ye Qiu hadnât directly announced this, causing Liu Lingxiu to feel anxious and the other girls to be puzzled.
At this moment, Liu Lingxiu said, âYe Qiu, my parents have arrived at the gate of the community.â
âLetâs go greet them,â Ye Qiu suggested.
Ye Qiu and Liu Lingxiu came downstairs and saw the countryside relatives causing a ruckus.
He didnât know what to say.
He didnât have time to get to know these people, nor did he want to.
From a young age, the original Ye Qiu had little interaction with these relatives, and the current Ye Qiu felt the same way.
When some relatives recognized Ye Qiu, they said, âYe Qiu, do you still remember me?
Iâm your cousin.â
Ye Qiu didnât know which cousin this was supposed to be.
âCousin?
Werenât you the one who called him stupid and hopeless before?â another relative immediately interjected.
Ye Qiu couldnât be bothered to respond.
He grabbed Liu Lingxiu and went outside to the gate, where he saw Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong standing at the entrance, looking around and hesitant to enter.
âDad, Mom.â
âUncle, Auntie.â
âWe just arrived by taxi and didnât dare to come in,â Zhang Yuehong explained.
She was afraid she might have been mistaken.
But there was only one Peach Blossom Source Residential Area in Jinling City.
The taxi driver wouldnât have misheard.
âItâs this place,â Ye Qiu affirmed.
Leading Liu Daqing and Zhang Yuehong inside, the first stop was to introduce them to Ye Weidong and his wife.
Meanwhile, the countryside relatives were causing quite a commotion.
Some children were crying and running around, and now Shen Zhigangâs group had already come outside to sit.
Ye Weidong didnât expect the relatives to behave this way; he had already told them to be more mindful.
After all, they werenât the only ones here.
Seeing Ye Qiu bringing Liu Daqing and his wife over, Ye Weidong and his wife exchanged greetings with them before Ye Qiu asked Liu Lingxiu to take her parents upstairs to the second floor.
With so many people wanting to see the house, it was impossible to accommodate everyone.
When Ye Qiu saw the relatives were still making a racket, he had anticipated this.
After exchanging a glance with Ye Weidong, Ye Weidong hurried over to ask the relatives to calm down.
Now Ye Qiuâs friends seeing the relatives behaving this way, didnât know what to think of him.
They were supposed to bring him pride, but instead, such a scene unfolded.
âDad, Mom, in the future, donât invite them over,â Ye Qiu said.
These relatives of the Ye family were strangers to Ye Qiu.
Even after searching the original Ye Qiuâs memories, he had little recollection of them.
This showed that these relatives had minimal interaction with Ye Weidong and his wife in the past.
But now, with the familyâs changes, and in an effort to save face, Weidong had invited them over for the first time.
âYe Qiu, I understand,â Weidong said.
Ye Qiu shook his head.
When he went up to the second floor, there was still time, and the banquet at the hotel wasnât ready yet, so they had to wait here.
Most of Ye Qiuâs invited guests had already arrived.
Cai Yong, Liu Dafei, and Liu Dazhuang had come earlier.
Now the three, dressed in suits and looking like bosses, were just sitting there drinking tea and chatting quietly.
Li Qianqianâs parents hadnât arrived.
Li Zhiguoâs special identity meant he couldnât come, and Lu Xiuyu had said she would come but hadnât shown up yet.
When Li Qianqian received a call from her mother, informing her that Lu Xiuyu was near the community gate, she quickly pulled Ye Qiu along, saying, âMy mother is almost at the gate.â
âLet me go with you to greet her,â Ye Qiu suggested.
After all, Lu Xiuyu was the mayorâs wife and the top leader of Jinling Cityâs government, a bureau-level official.
Previously, when treating Li Qianqianâs illness, Ye Qiu had met Lu Xiuyu a few times but hadnât seen her much since then.
Now, Ye Qiu and Li Qianqian waited at the gate of Peach Blossom Source Residential Area.
After a while, they saw Lu Xiuyu driving up.
The government license plate was distinct from ordinary ones, and she drove an Audi.
The gate security immediately recognized this had to be a high-ranking government official.
âMom.â
âAuntie.â
Li Qianqian and Ye Qiu greeted Lu Xiuyu.
âCan I drive the car in?â Lu Xiuyu asked.
âYes, you can,â the head security guard replied eagerly.
He personally led the way, guiding Lu Xiuyu to a public parking lot inside.
After parking the car, Lu Xiuyu said to Ye Qiu, âZhiguo wanted to come, but given his special identity, it wasnât suitable.
Heâll come over for tea another time.â
âAuntie, I understand Uncleâs difficulty,â Ye Qiu said.
Lu Xiuyu smiled.
She felt like sheâd witnessed Ye Qiuâs life change but hadnât helped him much.
She hadnât expected his transformation to surpass her imagination.
She had thought the gap between Ye Qiuâs background and her familyâs was too large.
But now, she wasnât so sure Ye Qiu would even consider Li Qianqian.
When Ye Qiu brought Lu Xiuyu and Li Qianqian to the courtyard, someone recognized Lu Xiuyu.
Among them, Vice Dean Zhou Peng was the most enthusiastic.
âMadam Mayor, youâre here.â
