After the talks between the two sides, Huaxia Country arranged a national banquet to entertain Ding Fan and Ye Ningbing.
Both parties enjoyed the al with great delight.
"Island Master Ding, do you have any plans after dinner?" the General asked with a smile after lunch.
"I plan to visit the Ye Family," Ding Fan replied casually. "The Ye Family is Ningbing's family. Since we're here in Yanjing, it's only natural to visit."
Visit the Ye Family?!
Ye Ningbing looked at Ding Fan in disbelief.
Ding Fan shouldn't have any goodwill towards the Ye Family. After all, the Ding Family's downfall was due to the Ye Family's involvent, and the Ye Family had tried to harm Ding Fan multiple tis afterwards...
Could it be?
Could it be that Ding Fan overheard the conversation between the Ye Family mbers and last night? After all, when Ye Guangkun ca to see yesterday, he did ntion wanting and Ding Fan to visit the Ye Family today.
If he hadn't overheard Ye Guangkun and talking, why would Ding Fan want to visit the Ye Family?
However, thinking about it, Ye Ningbing felt sothing was off.
When Ye Ningbing and Ye Guangkun were talking, there was no one else in the room. Ding Fan shouldn't have heard it.
While Ye Ningbing was lost in thought, the General on the side said directly, "If that's the case, I see that Elder Mu doesn't have any engagents today. How about he accompanies you?"
Ding Fan naturally understood the General's kind gesture.
Having Elder Mu accompany him was to uphold his dignity. Ding Fan didn't refuse and smiled gently. "Then I'll trouble Elder Mu."
Elder Mu had no objections. He and Ding Fan got along well, and he was glad to accompany Ding Fan.
"Ningbing, I think you should call the Ye Family first and let them prepare," Ding Fan said to Ye Ningbing, who was beside him.
At this mont, the General and Elder Mu both turned their attention to Ye Ningbing.
Ye Ningbing's cheeks flushed. After nodding sowhat flusteredly, she walked out to make the call.
As she left, she heard the General's teasing voice behind her. "It seems the wedding of the Island Master is not far off. We should co by to enjoy a cup of wedding wine then."
"I would be honored..."
Ye Ningbing felt a sweet sensation in her heart at the General's words.
However, alongside the sweetness, she felt an emptiness. Even if Ding Fan's wedding was approaching, how could she possibly be the bride...
After lunch, everyone, accompanied by Elder Mu, went to the Ye Family...
Since Ye Qingyun passed away, it had been a long ti since the Ye Family had any excitent. When Ding Fan and the others' car arrived at the Ye Family's entrance, a loud noise of firecrackers sounded imdiately.
Watching the firecrackers outside, Ye Ningbing stood in a daze.
As a child, Ye Ningbing had imagined her wedding, thinking there would be firecrackers like these.
But this dream had long since faded, and now, the lively firecrackers brought her back to that dream.
"Ningbing, the car has stopped. Let's get out," Ding Fan said to Ye Ningbing, who was beside him.
Ye Ningbing snapped out of her daze, her cheeks turning red. She had once again imagined the protagonist as Ding Fan...
Feeling flustered, Ye Ningbing stepped out of the car.
As soon as they got out of the car, Ye Guangkun ca forward enthusiastically.
At that mont, Ye Guangkun was dressed in a red Tang suit, looking very spirited.
"Greetings, Family Head," Ding Fan courteously saluted. "This is a small gift."
No matter what, Ding Fan couldn't visit the Ye Family empty-handed, so he promptly presented two small brocade boxes.
The two small brocade boxes were about the size of ring boxes.
Ye Guangkun was overjoyed.
Originally, Ye Guangkun thought Ding Fan visiting with Elder Mu was already a great honor, but now Ding Fan had also prepared gifts.
This truly gave the Ye Family much face.
Ye Ningbing was also surprised. Clearly, she hadn't expected Ding Fan to prepare so thoughtfully.
"Since it's a gift from the Island Master, let's open it and have a look," Elder Mu suggested with a smile.
Ye Guangkun nodded and imdiately opened the small brocade box.
Inside the box was a golden yellow pill. As the box opened, a rich fragrance filled the air, and although everyone rely slled it, they felt a sense of comfort and ease. Ye Guangkun opened the other brocade box, which also contained a pill.
"Young Master Ding, what is this? Please introduce it to us," Elder Mu requested, knowing the two pills were anything but ordinary.
After all, Yongfan Island produces Stabilizing Pills and Revitalizing Pills. The pills they present cannot be ordinary.
"These are two Life-Extending Pills. They extend life and eliminate all diseases," Ding Fan explained.
Extend life?!
If those words ca from anyone else, the present company would likely dismiss them as a joke, but from Ding Fan's mouth, it was a different matter.
That indicated that these pills indeed had life-extending properties.
Nowadays, a single Stabilizing Pill from Yongfan Island could fetch millions of US dollars on the black market, so a small Life-Extending Pill must be even more valuable.
These pills aren't available on the market; there are probably only these two in the world.
"Too precious, too precious..." Ye Guangkun hurriedly said.
Ding Fan just smiled. "Let's go inside and talk."
Ye Guangkun finally ca back to his senses. Standing outside really wasn't the place for a conversation. "Yes, yes, look at , I was so happy that I forgot about etiquette. Young Master Ding, Elder Mu, please co inside quickly."
At that mont, everyone surrounded Ding Fan and Elder Mu, entering the Ye Family's courtyard together.
Ye Ningbing followed behind them.
Deep down in her heart, Ye Ningbing had always dread of returning to the Ye Family.
This was where Ye Ningbing grew up; it held countless dreams for her.
Back then, to protect the Ye Family, she chose to stay by Ding Fan's side, but the Ye Family thought she betrayed them, making it hard for her to return ho...
Actually, Ye Ningbing wanted to co ho if she could. Who wouldn't choose to return ho if possible?
Ye Ningbing gratefully glanced at Ding Fan's back at that mont.
She knew that all of this must have been arranged with Ding Fan's help...
At that mont, Ding Fan's image in Ye Ningbing's heart seed even more towering.
Ye Guangkun prepared so good tea in the living room. With Ye Guangkun's invitation, Ding Fan and Elder Mu all sat down.
After a brief casual chat, Ding Fan changed the topic.
"Family Head Ye, there's sothing where I need the Ye Family's help. I wonder if the Ye Family is willing to do this favor."
"What are you talking about, Young Master Ding? We're almost like family now. There's no such thing as a favor between us. If you have any matters, just say the word," Ye Guangkun eagerly patted his chest as he spoke.
Ye Ningbing looked at Ding Fan with so confusion.
She really didn't know what matter Ding Fan needed the Ye Family's help with.
"What I want to talk about now is about the Huaxia Group's pharmaceutical agency…"
Huaxia Group's pharmaceutical agency?!
Upon hearing this, everyone present beca excited.
After all, the Huaxia Group was built single-handedly by Ding Fan. Now, their dicines are sold worldwide, with various countries and regions fiercely competing for the agency rights.
The pharmaceutical agency of Huaxia Country is essentially a golden rice bowl, or even a diamond rice bowl!
Amidst the attentive gazes, Ding Fan calmly said, "Currently, all the pharmaceutical agencies in Yahuan State have been given to the Qin family. Now, the European pharmaceutical agency is still without soone in charge. I wonder if you could help with this."
After hearing Ding Fan's words, Ye Guangkun almost fainted from happiness.
This wasn't the case of soone asking for help; it was evidently soone helping them out.
What is Europe? It is one of the wealthiest regions in the world. Even though its market isn't as large as Yahuan State's due to demographics, being able to manage Europe's entire pharmaceutical market is already incredibly impressive.
"Thank you, Young Master Ding... Thank you, Young Master Ding!" Ye Guangkun stood up excitedly.
As Ye Guangkun rejoiced, Ye Ningbing glanced at Ding Fan.
Although she didn't know how Ding Fan managed it, she was sure that Ding Fan must have heard her conversation with Ye Guangkun yesterday.
Everything Ding Fan did was to help her...
With that thought, Ye Ningbing felt a warmth spread in her heart.
Since her brother broke ties with her, it had been a long ti since she felt cared for like this.
At that mont, Ye Ningbing could feel the gaze of the Ye Family on her.
She glanced at Ye Guangkun, and even though he said nothing, his eyes were full of gratitude. The rest of the Ye Family looked at her with appreciation.
Though Ye Ningbing did not require those appreciative and grateful looks, the feeling of being trusted and noticed by her family was still very heartwarming.
Ding Fan continued, "Then I'll leave the matters in Europe to Family Head Ye. When we return, I'll have Ningbing arrange for soone to co over and discuss the contract with you."
"Thank you, thank you..." Ye Guangkun didn't know how many tis he expressed his thanks by now.
Everyone chatted a bit more about everyday matters. Although Elder Mu was present, he showed no airs, which made the atmosphere even more lively and harmonious.
Ding Fan and the others stayed for dinner at the Ye Family before leaving.
Today felt like a dream for Ye Ningbing.
The door of the Ye Family, which used to be closed to her, was now open once again.
Who wouldn't want a family...
Now, Ye Ningbing was once again recognized as part of the Ye Family.
No matter how many misunderstandings there were in the past, once they're resolved, family is still family...
After Elder Mu dropped Ding Fan and Ye Ningbing at the International Hotel, he left.
Ye Ningbing, as usual, followed behind Ding Fan. Until they reached the door to their respective rooms, neither said a word.
"Ding Fan..."
Just as Ding Fan was about to open his door, Ye Ningbing spoke up.
Ding Fan paused and looked over at Ye Ningbing.
Even though Ye Ningbing had been on Yongfan Island for a while, she rarely spoke with Ding Fan, and even then, would address him as Island Master Ding.
It was very rare for her to call him by his na like today.
Ye Ningbing bowed to Ding Fan and softly said, "Thank you..."
