"You should be a bit more forceful..."

The few people trembled upon hearing Lin Ruyu's words. Wasn't it heavy-handed enough for others to hit them?

Thinking of this, they looked sympathetically at the person parking the car, thinking it was sheer suicide to dare to claim that someone with such great strength wouldn't dare to hit you!

Although working at Century Heaven City was supposed to come with excellent benefits, some rich young men would hit you whenever they felt like it. At that time, they'd have someone inform the higher-ups at Century Heaven City, and you'd have just gotten beaten for nothing.

"Let's send him to the hospital first, his teeth are gone." The person operating the forklift glanced at the heavily injured parking attendant and instructed the others.

"Pfft, pff don' lea' me." The parking attendant, now missing teeth due to Ye Hao's slap, spoke with a lisp, trying to say "don't worry about me." He then held back the pain of being beaten by Ye Hao all over his body and went to find someone to complain to.

...

After Murong Lan and Shangguan Dapao had left the Lin Family estate, they headed directly to the Ye Family.

The Ye Family courtyard was now brightly illuminated and looked festive; at this time, Ye Long was about to go out with Ye Qingcheng. Upon seeing Shangguan Dapao and Murong Lan, Ye Long and Ye Qingcheng hurriedly stepped forward politely to greet them: "Hello Mr. Shangguan, hello Grandma."

"Everything's good, everything's good." Shangguan Dapao waved his hand and headed straight towards the Ye Family's backyard.

"Here are some red envelopes Grandma prepared for you, have a joyous New Year." Murong Lan, seeing how polite they were, smiled and handed over two red envelopes.

"Thank you, Grandma Lan." Ye Qingcheng said sweetly.

"Thank you." Ye Long took it, even though it wasn't much money, it was a gesture from the elders, so Ye Long didn't refuse.

"Alright! You can go have fun now; I heard the young people have gatherings and such, have a great time." Murong Lan smiled and waved them away.

Ye Long and Ye Qingcheng bid farewell to Murong Lan and went towards Century Heaven City. As direct descendants of the Ye Family, they were naturally extremely dignified. Without such prominent second-generation officials, these parties would surely lack a lot of excitement.

Murong Lan watched them leave with a smile before entering the backyard.

At this moment, the old master Ye Batian—or rather, the middle-aged Ye Batian—was lounging and chatting with the family.

"Dad! When is that kid Hao coming over to eat with us?" Ye Tian asked as he only heard Ye Batian mention that Ye Hao would come to Yanjing for the New Year, but he didn't know when Ye Hao would come to the Ye Family.

"Those who should come will definitely come, but those who shouldn't have come, like these two," Ye Batian chuckled.

Liu Su also sensed someone coming and smiled, saying: "Dad, your senses are really sharp."

"Oh, not at all!" Ye Batian also chuckled.

Sure enough, a cheeky voice reached the outside several seconds later.

"Old buddy, let's go have a couple of drinks tonight!"

Ye Batian felt a bit awkward upon hearing this. Although the family hadn't exposed him for visiting a brothel that night, the Shangguan lady knew about Shangguan Dapao's visit to the brothel and even came over to accuse Ye Batian of leading Shangguan Dapao astray.

Fortunately, folks wouldn't believe that Shangguan Dapao and Ye Batian, at their age, could still visit a brothel. Otherwise, news of the two old generals going to a brothel would have spread all over Yanjing.

"Drink what drink, New Year's Eve is in two days." Ye Batian glared at him and said.

Shangguan Dapao shrank his neck, a bit afraid of Ye Batian, but he casually found a spot to sit down.

Ye Tian personally brewed tea for him and prepared seats, waiting for Murong Lan's arrival.

"Tian, your tea brewing skills are getting better and better." Shangguan Dapao pretended to understand and gulped down the tea, offering random praise.

"That's the cheapest tea we have at home." Ye Batian exposed him with a laugh.

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Dapao froze for a moment before understanding, feeling a bit awkward as he sat there.

It was at this moment Murong Lan entered, giving Ye Batian a cold grunt: "Don't think my Dapao doesn't know anything; he knows everything. If the tea he drank is ordinary, then every tea under the heavens is ordinary."

Murong Lan sat down right away, and Ye Tian passed her a cup of tea.

She took a careful sip and praised: "West Lake Longjing Tea, but there's something else..."

Murong Lan furrowed her brows and pondered for a while but still couldn't figure out what was added.

Actually, it wasn't just her; even Liu Su, an expert, couldn't tell what was added. They just felt that this tea was much more nourishing than the ones they had previously.

Another phenomenon was that whenever Ye Tian drank it, no matter how tired he was during the day, he was still exceptionally vigorous at night, often leaving Liu Su begging for mercy. This was something unimaginable in the past.

Yip Man and Ye Nian Country also felt similar effects after drinking this tea. Judging by the expressions on their wives' faces, it's evident they were quite satisfied being nourished by their husbands.

"Don't think too hard, my precious grandson gave the recipe," Ye Batian proudly told Murong Lan.

Upon hearing this, Murong Lan remembered what she came for and stared at Ye Batian for a while before saying: "Ye Batian, I want to discuss something with you!"

"What matter? Don't have any designs on my Golden-winged Dolphin; don't even think about it, otherwise don't blame me for beating you and your spouse up right now," Ye Batian replied, puckering his lips as he looked at Murong Lan.

"Ye Batian, we're in a civilized era now, can you stop just using your fists all the time?" Murong Lan found Ye Batian's youthful arrogance increasingly aggravating!

"I love using my fists, what can you do?" Ye Batian remained domineering, irritating Murong Lan into wanting to curse at him, but she had to swallow her grievances when she thought about needing Ye Hao's help to become younger.

"Alright, fine, punch all you want then!" Murong Lan turned her head away, not wanting to argue with Ye Batian.

"Tian, what are your plans for next year?" At this moment, Murong Lan looked towards Lin Tian; nobody knew exactly what she meant.

Only Shangguan Dapao perceived a bit of it; nonetheless, in the Shangguan Clan, Murong Lan had always been in control, so Shangguan Dapao didn't speak up.

"Haha! Next year will be just like this year, serving the country, making more contributions, so that the citizens can enjoy a more stable life," Lin Tian said with a smile.

"Not bad, but if you're not in a position, you won't ruminate on state affairs. To serve the country, you need greater authority; otherwise, you'll be powerless despite your intentions!" Murong Lan's words prompted the Ye Family to ponder deeply.

Quietly contemplating the meaning behind Murong Lan's words.

"Oh? Are you planning to burden Ye Tian with additional duties, Mrs. Lan?" Ye Tian smiled as he inquired, also pondering over the meaning of Murong Lan's words.

"Alas! Only two years until the reshuffle! Tian, you're a fine leader, yet unfortunately, every position has only one occupant," Murong Lan said, adding more cryptic comments.

Only Ye Batian deciphered Murong Lan's words, glancing at Murong Lan in surprise... (To be continued.
