Chapter 1091

Seeing Su Ruoli recognize his background, Ye Chen smiled slightly and said frankly: "That's right, I can indeed be considered a member of the Ye family, or rather, I was a member of the Ye family before."

Su Ruoli pondered for a moment and muttered: "You were a member of the Ye family before, which means you are not in the Ye family now..."

As she spoke, Su Ruoli said with a very shocked expression: "The Ye family's descendants are not exactly flourishing. I am very familiar with every direct descendant. If you are not in the Ye family, then you are most likely..."

When the words reached her lips, Su Ruoli was instantly shocked beyond measure!

She stared at Ye Chen and said in shock: "Among the direct descendants who left the Ye family, there was only one Ye Changying, but Ye Changying died more than twenty years ago. Could it be... could it be that you are his son?"

Ye Chen's expression tightened, and he said seriously: "That's right, I am Ye Changying's son, Ye Chen!"

"Oh my god!"

Su Ruoli felt as if she had been struck by lightning at this moment.

Although Ye Changying had passed away before she was even born, his great name was still like thunder to her ears.

Not only that, she also knew some past events between her father, Su Shoudao, and Ye Changying back then.

She knew that her father's greatest competitor in his life was Ye Changying.

She also knew that the greatest blow her father suffered in his life also came from Ye Changying.

Back then, whenever anyone in Yanjing mentioned Ye Changying, they would inevitably give a thumbs-up with both hands, full of praise and reverence.

And when they mentioned Su Shoudao, everyone would reveal a look of pity.

Many people lamented that Su Shoudao was born at the wrong time, because Ye Changying was too dazzling, completely crushing all of Su Shoudao's brilliance.

As the saying goes, "Why create a Zhou Yu if you were going to create a Zhuge Liang?" It was truly the most appropriate way to describe these two people.

Su Ruoli also knew that her father had not only been suppressed by Ye Changying all along, but more importantly, even his original wife was one of Ye Changying's most loyal pursuers back then.

At that time, her father was desperately pursuing the woman who is now his wife, but that woman loved Ye Changying to death.

Using a line of ancient poetry to describe Su Shoudao's situation at that time could not be more appropriate.

That line of ancient poetry is: "I had intended to give my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."

It can be said that Su Shoudao's wife only married him out of desperation after she had no hope of pursuing Ye Changying.

Therefore, Su Shoudao had always lived in Ye Changying's shadow.

Speaking of which, Ye Chen's father, Ye Changying, was definitely the person Su Shoudao hated most in his life.

Su Ruoli knew these past events very clearly, but she never dreamed that she would one day get to know Ye Changying's son.

And what she couldn't have expected even more was that she would have so many stories with him...

Even her right leg was now being held in his hands...

Thinking of this, Su Ruoli suddenly felt that the world really plays tricks on people.

She couldn't help but think to herself: "All along, I have been serving the Su family wholeheartedly, and I was even willing to dedicate my life to the Su family..."

"But I never dreamed that the Su family would trick me into this state, and almost cost me my life..."

"And this Ye Chen, as a descendant of the Ye family, was originally the mortal enemy of the entire Su family. Plus, as the son of Ye Changying, he was even more of a thorn in the side of my father, Su Shoudao. Yet, it was this mortal enemy of the Su family who saved my life at the most critical moment. All of this is really too ironic..."

Seeing Su Ruoli's rich expressions, Ye Chen couldn't help but tease her: "What? Knowing that I am a member of the Ye family, has it immediately triggered the hatred you have for the Ye family as a member of the Su family?"

Su Ruoli hurriedly waved her hand and said in a panic: "It's not what you think... If I had known you were a member of the Ye family before today, I would definitely have hated you even more..."

As she spoke, Su Ruoli sighed and said with emotion: "Sigh... Now I have completely understood. To the Su family, I am just a tool, and a tool that can be sacrificed at any time. They don't take me, an illegitimate daughter, seriously at all..."

Speaking of this, Su Ruoli said with a hint of self-mockery: "My father has always been very worried that his wife would find out about my background. Perhaps to him, my death is a good thing. At the very least, it can make my background vanish into thin air, leaving no evidence. Then he wouldn't have to worry about his beloved wife discovering the fact that he once betrayed their marriage..."

Ye Chen looked at Su Ruoli and said with some sympathy: "You don't need to be too sad about this. Actually, if you think about it from another angle, this might not be a bad thing. At the very least, you have now seen their true colors, and you haven't suffered any very serious harm in essence. This is much better than suddenly realizing it at the moment of your death, right?"

Su Ruoli nodded gently, her eyes red as she looked at Ye Chen, and she whispered chokingly: "Young Master Ye, I am truly very grateful to you for this matter. Thank you for being able to save my life regardless of past grievances. If today's situation were reversed and it were me, and you were killed in front of me, I might not have the magnanimity you have to save you..."

Ye Chen said seriously: "That's for sure. Not only would you not save me, but you yourself would have wanted to kill me."

Su Ruoli instantly felt ashamed and lowered her head, whispering: "This matter was indeed too stupid of me. All along, my mind was full of serving the Su family and serving my biological father, but I never thought about what I was considered in the eyes of others..."

Ye Chen asked her: "Then what are your plans now?"

Su Ruoli asked with some surprise: "Young Master Ye, didn't you say you were going to take me to Jin Ling? Are you changing your mind?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded and said: "I do intend to take you back to Jin Ling, and I'm not afraid to say the ugly things first. Even now, I don't completely trust you."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen continued: "So, after you go back to Jin Ling with me, I won't give you freedom immediately. Instead, I will restrict you until I have finished my business, or until I feel that you are 100% trustworthy. Only then can you regain your freedom."

Su Ruoli nodded repeatedly without hesitation and said seriously: "I understand what you said very well. If I were you, I wouldn't trust myself immediately either."

Immediately, Su Ruoli smiled with a hint of bitterness and said: "Young Master Ye, from now on, I will be adding trouble to you..."

"But don't worry, I, Su Ruoli, have always kept my word since I was a child!"

"From now on, I will absolutely not have any disobedience toward you, let alone intend to harm you or anyone around you!"

"And after arriving in Jin Ling, I will definitely follow your instructions completely..."

"After all, my life was saved by you..."
