Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

After the meal, Lin Zhijie left with his old comrades. The high-ranking leader also left with Luo Xiangfei.

The guests gradually left.

Yang Peishan was also stunned and speechless today. He had always thought that He Yuzhu's backer was a high-ranking leader, and he never expected it to be Lin Zhijie.

"Zhu Zi, did Li Huaide already know about your father-in-law's affairs?"

He Yuzhu nodded: "When I got married back then, didn't he already leave?"

My father-in-law didn't come; my mother-in-law came instead.

A flicker of regret crossed Yang Peishan's eyes. He remembered clearly that Li Huaide had told him he was going to a wedding.

He didn't take it seriously at the time and didn't think it was necessary to participate.

If he had known earlier, he would definitely have gone back.

"No wonder Li Huaide is so protective of you."

This sentence contains a strong sense of sourness.

He Yuzhu smiled but didn't say anything else. Back then, he was the one who specifically sent the invitation to Yang Peishan.

Yang Peishan didn't take him seriously, so he can't be blamed.

After seeing them off, I can finally rest a bit.

Xu Damao then came over and said, "Brother Zhu, tell me the truth, how much of this restaurant do you own?"

He Yuzhu said, "I don't own a single share."

Xu Damao pursed his lips and said, "I don't believe it. You don't own any shares, why would you care so much?"

He Yuzhu said, "I don't have any shares, but my dad does."

Given He Yuzhu's current status, he is definitely not suited to participate in business. The only member of the He family who is suitable to participate is He Daqing.

Basically, all the businesses that He Yuzhu set up were affiliated with He Daqing.

Xu Damao said with a hint of jealousy, "You're really cunning."

He Yuzhu asked with a smile, "Why are you running to the door? Where's your dad?"

Xu Damao said, "My dad is chatting with Chairman Lou. This is the first time in his life that he's sitting on equal footing with Chairman Lou."

This was indeed the first time we sat together as equals.

Throughout his life, Xu Damao never married Lou Xiao'e, and Xu Fugui and Lou Zhenye were not related by marriage.

He didn't get the chance to sit on equal footing with Lou Zhenye.

He Yuzhu laughed: "How can you insult your father like that?"

The two returned to the hotel, and Xu Zhenbao jogged over.

"Uncle He, Dad."

Xu Damao pulled her along and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Xu Zhenbao said, "Grandma told me to come find you. If you don't go soon, she might come and kill me."

Xu Damao said somewhat guiltily, "Go tell your grandma that I'm outside helping Brother Zhu see off guests. Don't let him come over."

Xu Zhenbao said, "I'm not going; that would be a lie."

Xu Damao promised Xu Zhenbao that he would buy her nice things, and wrote a lot of empty checks to appease her.

He Yuzhu said, "Why don't you go over there?"

Xu Damao said, "What would I do there? If she saw me, she would force me to remarry her."

Well, there's no way to persuade someone about this.

He Yuzhu could only remind him, "I advise you to remarry Zhang Yan. She's a big boss now, and many people are pursuing her."

"If she decides to marry someone else someday, you won't even have time to cry."

Xu Damao did not answer the question, but walked to an empty table and sat down.

He Yuzhu ignored him and went to chat with Li Dagen.

After chatting for a while, they prepared to go back. Once they returned to the courtyard house, some news about the restaurant could no longer be kept secret.

When Yi Zhonghai and the other two heard about Lin Jinghan's background, they all showed expressions of disbelief.

Yi Zhonghai quickly turned to anger. He felt that He Yuzhu was deliberately distancing himself from him.

If he had told him Lin Jinghan's identity earlier, he wouldn't have kept a close eye on the Jia family back then.

He would definitely give the elderly care qualification to He Yuzhu. Liu Haizhong was completely dumbfounded, and regret welled up in his heart. If he had known earlier that He Yuzhu had such a powerful background, he should have tried to curry favor with He Yuzhu back then.

Yan Bugui was also filled with regret. He had many opportunities to befriend He Yuzhu, but he believed Yi Zhonghai's lies and went to make things difficult for He Yuzhu.

They weren't the only ones who regretted it; Qin Huairu did too. Qin Huairu not only regretted it, but also harbored immense resentment.

If she had known that He Yuzhu's father-in-law was so powerful, she should have waited two more years until He Yuzhu was old enough to marry her.

It's all Yi Zhonghai's fault for deceiving her and making her marry the most useless Jia Dongxu.

Even Jia Zhangshi, sitting inside the house, was filled with regret.

The courtyard suddenly became as silent as a dead place.

The front and back yards, however, were unusually lively.

They surrounded the people going to the restaurant, asking them questions and expressing regret that they hadn't gone.

After the news was confirmed, everyone was filled with regret.

They all wished they could go back to the way things were before, because then they would definitely get along well with He Yuzhu.

Thinking of this, when he saw Yi Zhonghai and the others, his eyes were filled with resentment.

If it weren't for these people, how could they have offended He Yuzhu back then?

Yi Zhonghai saw the looks in these people's eyes and became even angrier.

"Why am I so fearless, even though I'm just a simpleton? It turns out I've climbed up a high branch."

It's not surprising that someone with a father-in-law like that would look down on us neighbors.

While the others were still regretting their actions, no one paid him any attention.

Yi Zhonghai became even angrier and got up to go back to his room.

Xiao Dang and Xiao Huaihua ran in from outside: "Mom, something terrible has happened. Uncle He's father-in-law is someone very special."

Qin Huairu felt powerless at this moment: "I know, you don't need to say anything more."

Xiao Dang asked in surprise, "You all know now. What exactly happened? Wasn't Uncle He's father-in-law from a small town? How did things change?"
Didn't you say they were just poor relatives?

These words made Qin Huairu even more embarrassed.

In order to prevent Lin Jinghan from marrying He Yuzhu, they didn't even bother to find out Lin Jinghan's background and simply said that her family was from the countryside.

Madam Jia asked, "How did you know?"

Xiao Huaihua said, "Liu Qiang from the next alley saw it when he went to the restaurant to watch the commotion."

He said Uncle He's restaurant is really good, much better than those restaurants on TV.

Jia Zhangshi said sourly, "That's Lou Xiao'e's restaurant, what does it have to do with him?"

Yan Bugui snapped out of his daze and said, "That's hard to say. Someone as shrewd as Shazhu wouldn't work for someone else for nothing."

"Ma Hua's wife, let me ask you, how many shares does that restaurant's pillar own?"

Upon seeing Meng Na come out of the house, Yan Bugui immediately asked her what was wrong.

Qin Huairu quietly pricked up her ears to eavesdrop.

Mengna knew these people well. They had nothing better to do than scheme against their neighbors.

If this isn't explained clearly, these people will most likely report it.

"The chef doesn't own any shares; the restaurant was opened jointly by the advisor and the Lou family."

"He Daqing?" Yan Bugui asked in surprise.

"Yes, what's wrong?" Mengna explained, "The advisor is the head chef of the restaurant, isn't it normal for him to own shares?"

"Our family also owns a small share in the MCA."

A hint of disappointment appeared on several people's faces simultaneously. They didn't even know what this disappointment was.

Yan Bugui said enviously, "Old He has it so easy. He doesn't have to do anything, yet he's got a golden goose."

Meng Na said, "You can do that too. Have your husband Yan Jiecheng sell you some of the restaurant's shares."

Yan Bugui wanted to, but it was simply impossible. Yan Jiecheng had made so much money, yet he hadn't given him a single penny of benefit.

Qin Huai looked at Meng Na with envy. Although she hadn't been to the restaurant, she knew from what others had said that it was exceptionally well-built.

If the MCA (Malaysian Chinese Association) can acquire shares in the restaurant, they're destined for great wealth. (End of Chapter)
