Ma Qianqiu glanced at Aunt Wu hiding in the distance, who was already pale with fear and unrecognizable, and slowly spoke: "Shall we casually say a word and drive that woman's son out of the Zheng Family Business? It's clear to the keen eye that she has bad relations with the Ye Family. In our eyes, a mere manager is just like an ant, just as we are like ants in Mr. Ye's eyes. She almost caused trouble for us with her foolish schemes, and we can't let her off lightly."

"Our arrival adds splendor to the Ye Family. If this word reaches Mr. Ye and angers him, we will suffer." Huang Jingwei also harbored intentions of punishing Aunt Wu's son, saying, "It is a great honor already for us to visit with thick skin."

"Let's deal with it after this, for now, it's inappropriate to discuss such matters." said Chen Tiande with good intentions.

Among the five family leaders, three immediately agreed on this thought.

"Brother Li, what do you think should be done?" Zheng Zhonghai saw Li Chenggui had not spoken and appeared thoughtful, so he asked. As the new Patriarch of the Zheng Family, especially regarding issues involving Mr. Ye, he was willing to listen to more opinions to avoid making mistakes and leaving himself a fallback. It would be bad if things went wrong.

"We should not punish recklessly." Li Chenggui hesitated for a long time before making this judgment.

"Why?" Zheng Zhonghai humbly inquired.

"Simply put, because that old woman is a neighbor or friend of the Ye Family, and for that reason alone, we cannot act recklessly. Our goal in punishing someone is merely to ingratiate ourselves with Ye Fan, but everyone should not forget that even being a neighbor with whom the Ye Family is not in harmony, what qualifications do we have to handle it arbitrarily?"

"We don't need to know too much about neighborhood relations, but just understand, whenever trying to ingratiate, think about the consequences of missteps. We strive for no achievement but must ensure there's no mistake."

"When it comes to matters involving Mr. Ye, we must maintain a clear mind and not just think about currying favor at all costs."

"If we ask Mr. Ye or others in the Ye Family whether to punish that old woman, how can we bring it up? In front of all guests, what are we to say? Wouldn't that put the Ye Family in an awkward position?"

Li Chenggui's words left the others in deep thought.

Such a small issue got them thinking so much just because it involved Ye Fan.

"Brother Li is right; it's our thoughtlessness. Yes, even if it's a neighbor who's not in harmony with the Ye Family, what right do we have to deal with it casually?" Chen Tiande and others agreed with Li Chenggui's reasoning.

From Aunt Wu's case, one can see the extreme fear Li Chenggui and the others had toward Ye Fan.

Just a mere manager, an inharmonious neighbor of the Ye Family, made them think so hard.

The final decision was quite dramatic. An ant-like figure, just because of being a neighbor to the Ye Family, made them cautious, hoping for no achievement but ensuring no mistakes, without any thought of punishment.

Behind Li Chenggui were Li Yang and four others, holding gifts obediently without uttering a word. When they came, they were instructed by the elders to base all decisions on the words of Li Chenggui and others, and they were not to say anything.

Thus, after sorting out the displeasure brought by Aunt Wu, Li Chenggui and the others went inside.

"The arrival of the five families should've already caused a stir in the old Ye Family, and yet, not a single person came out to greet them. This seems very strange."

"It shows just how big the face of the old Ye Family is."

"Could it be that just because of Ye Fan, it's worth the five families from the Northwest Business Community to bow and scrape?"

"Terrifying, very terrifying; I dare not think too deeply about it."

"Ye Fan, what kind of skills does he have?"

"Could it be that Ye Fan has some extraordinary skills?"

Looking at the silhouettes of the five families, everyone's shock couldn't be concealed.

Inside the house, there were also neighbors and relatives of the Ye Family, and the arrival of Li Chenggui and others naturally alarmed them.

Ye Fan and Mengyao accompanied Ye Qingping and Xu Xia in conversation with everyone.

Biyao and Ye Juanjuan had long gone off for a private chat, withdrawing from the scene.

No matter who Mengyao talked to, these people all showed a delighted and flattered demeanor, extremely excited, some even struggled to speak properly.

Heavens, this is the top businesswoman, President Chu, renowned in the business industry. How could they remain calm?

In contrast, they treated Ye Fan much more blandly, because they did not know what capabilities Ye Fan had, and thus felt no pressure.

"Brother Ye, important figures have arrived; shouldn't we go greet them respectfully?"

"The leaders of the five families along with the future successors are here; this is a huge deal."

"Whose reputation is so significant?"

"Even President Chu doesn't command such respect, does she?"

"What on earth is going on?"

"Who exactly are the heads of the five families here for?"

The friends around Ye Qingping were dumbfounded, their minds filled with questions. They hovered around Ye Qingping, restless, speaking urgently.

Ye Qingping and Xu Xia were also full of astonishment, pondering, "Could it be that people from the five families are here for Mengyao? Otherwise, how could such big figures humble themselves to visit a humble abode?"

The couple looked at Ye Fan and Mengyao, filled with inquisitiveness.

Everyone else was eager to step out and greet them, but since the hosts hadn't spoken, how could they dare act on their own? They had to sit anxiously.

"Brother Ye, Sister Xu, hurry up, won't you? Important figures have arrived, are you startled? If manners are lost, it wouldn't be good." Many silently urged in their hearts.

"Uncle, Auntie, don't bother with them." Ye Fan looked at Ye Qingping and Xu Xia, speaking calmly.

Throughout the matter of the five families, Mengyao did not express any opinion.

She entrusted everything to Ye Fan to handle.

"How can this be? When important guests arrive, there is no reason not to welcome them with respect?" Ye Qingping exclaimed.

"Mengyao, what do you think should be done?" Xu Xia focused on Mengyao.

The couple simply couldn't believe that the five families came because of Ye Fan.

Coming for Mengyao's sake was more plausible.

Thus, the couple was still very nervous and a bit unsure of how to handle the situation.
