The arrival of the pilots of the five great families made Ye Qingping and Xu Xia tense, and others were already uneasy, their anxious eyes fixed on Ye Qingping's family, hoping the host would quickly welcome them. If they offended anyone, it would be bad, and they would be accomplices. If the patriarchs of the five great families were even slightly displeased, it would be disastrous for them.

Everyone was extremely anxious, but since the host was indifferent, they naturally wouldn't rashly go to greet the distinguished guests.

Because they weren't significant enough, they didn't have the qualifications.

Logically speaking, President Chu accompanying Ye Qingping's family to meet them would be the minimum courtesy.

They didn't know the situation of the five great families, nor did they understand the current status of Ye Fan and Mengyao, so they had to have this thought.

Ye Qingping and Xu Xia didn't rashly go up to greet them but instead looked eagerly at Mengyao. In the couple's view, the pilots of the five great families were surely coming for Mengyao's sake.

If that's the case, given Mengyao's status and identity, it wouldn't be appropriate if they were too rash.

Who would have thought, Mengyao's next words left the couple utterly stunned.

"Uncle, Auntie, don't pay attention to random people, no matter who comes, don't care, because they are here to curry favor with Ye Fan." Mengyao said with a smile.

"Really?" Ye Qingping asked seriously.

Xu Xia was also taken aback and didn't know what to say.

"Absolutely true." Mengyao answered solemnly.

This left the Ye Qingping couple dumbfounded, unable to understand why Ye Fan had such immense power.

"The dignified five great families, five business giants dominating the Northwest, can they be considered random people? President Chu's tone is incredibly grand, worthy of being the number one strong woman, but even President Chu doesn't have such face before the five great families, right?"

"Not care who comes? This statement, this tone, is extraordinarily grand too."

"Curry favor with Ye Fan? Cough, cough, it choked me!!"

"What capability does Ye Fan have to make the five great families curry favor with him!!!"

"Is it possible? Is this possible?"

"Who can explain to me what's the secret here?"

Everyone was almost shocked to death, each muttering with confusion.

As they spoke, Li Chenggui and the others had already approached.

"Mr. Ye." Li Chenggui and the others' faces suddenly became cautious and respectful, bowing and clasping their hands, honestly greeting Ye Fan, and those behind them like Li Yang were likewise, not daring to be careless at all.

"This?"

"This, this, this???"

"What on earth is happening?"

"Why are these figures, standing at the pinnacle of the business world, so submissive?"

"Is the world crazy, or am I crazy?"

"Amazing, amazing."

Everyone was bewildered.

They finally understood, seeing the arrangement, the pilots of the five great families really came to curry favor with Ye Fan; otherwise, they couldn't think of any other possibility. From the level of respect the five showed towards Ye Fan, a lot could be discerned.

Mr. Ye, the three words, were filled with reverence, and being able to enjoy this title in front of Li Chenggui and the others was truly uncommon.

So, a simple and clear question was laid out before everyone: What kind of talent does Ye Fan have?

Even Ye Qingping and Xu Xia were full of doubts.

"Why have you come?" Ye Fan glanced at Li Chenggui and the others, and said calmly.

"Why come? Naturally, it's to celebrate. Such a simple truth, how could you not know?" This was everyone's first thought, and then they were almost shocked to death, for Ye Fan to speak like this to Li Chenggui and the others, how defiant must he be?

Li Chenggui and the others became more restrained, extremely cautious, because Ye Fan's words contained no welcoming tone but rather viewed them as unnecessary.

This made everyone's hearts race again, instinctively looking at the defiant Ye Fan.

"Mr. Ye, we came without prior notice and have intruded. If we have caused any disturbance, we ask for your forgiveness."

"We know, if we were to attend your engagement party with President Chu, we wouldn't qualify to participate, so we took this opportunity to congratulate you. It's our sincere intention, please accept it."

"We prepared a small gift, hoping you wouldn't mind."

Li Chenggui and the others were as honest as possible, putting it nicely as modest courtesy or bluntly as shamelessly imposing their gifts.

Everyone had a shocking realization. They understood Ye Fan indeed possessed immense power that could make the five great families submit. Naturally, they lacked the qualifications to know what abilities Ye Fan possessed.

But they deeply realized Ye Fan's influence was too great, far beyond what they could imagine.

Ye Qingping couldn't stand it anymore with Li Chenggui and the others being so submissive and Ye Fan so disinterested in interacting with people, he felt uncomfortable.

"What is wrong with you?" Ye Qingping glared at Ye Fan and scolded, "Though I don't know what capability you have, the visitors are guests, is this how you treat guests? The old saying goes, 'Don't hit a smiling face', how could you behave like this?"

Ye Fan patiently listened to Ye Qingping's words.

"Brother Ye, it's us who faulted Mr. Ye. Mr. Ye has shown us mercy, and we are grateful, hence our uninvited visit. If there's any disturbance, we hope you can overlook it." Li Chenggui spoke up, using respectful language towards Ye Qingping. They naturally didn't want Ye Fan to be criticized by Ye Qingping, so it was convenient to speak up for Ye Fan and flatter him, wasn't it?

"Whatever grudges you have, I don't want to know, nor am I interested in knowing, but today is a festive day, so let's not discuss unpleasant matters. You are guests, and my Ye Family naturally welcomes you warmly." Ye Qingping spoke firmly.

"Brother Ye's kind-heartedness is admirable."

"We've prepared some gifts, hoping you won't mind and would accept them."

Li Chenggui and the others respectfully spoke, then signaled behind them, prompting Li Yang and the others to immediately present the gift boxes and open the lids.

"A humble gift, of little significance, Brother Ye, please don't refuse." Li Chenggui and the others urgently emphasized, fearing Ye Qingping wouldn't accept.

"That jade color, it's excellent."

"That bracelet is so beautiful."

"That string of beads is simply an artwork, an exquisite masterpiece."

"These few gifts are understated yet profound, each one is a treasure, the cheapest valued around ten million."

"Indeed, the affluent five great families, their gifts are impressive."

Everyone's eyes were dazzled, with whispered exclamations erupting, each person gasping in awe and envying.
