Chapter 1438: Don't Drive Me Away

Ye Chen's hatred for the Su family only lies in those who were related to the Anti-Ye Alliance back then.

Now, the nominal leader of the Anti-Ye Alliance, Su Shoudao, has been thrown to Syria by himself, and the nominal number two figure, Su Shoude, has also entered Hong Wu's dog farm.

So now, the only enemy of the Su family left is Su Chengfeng.

According to the agreement between Ye Chen and Su Zhiyu, Su Zhiyu can take the position of the head of the Su family and take the initiative to hand over Su Chengfeng in exchange for her father's return to the country.

If she can do this by then, he will bring Su Shoudao back, but he must ensure that Su Shoudao stays away from all the real power of the Su family and force him to retire.

In that way, the Ye family, or himself, can put down all old hatreds with the Su family and never interfere with each other from then on.

So, Ye Chen naturally hopes that Su Zhiyu will be better and better by then.

And Su Ruoli is Su Zhiyu's half-sister. When the two sisters met last time, Ye Chen saw it clearly from the side.

He could be sure that Su Zhiyu really has this sister Su Ruoli in her heart.

And Su Ruoli also has this sister in her heart.

More importantly, the current Su Ruoli no longer has the cruelty and hostility of the past, and she will definitely be able to do her best to stay by Su Zhiyu's side and escort her.

Ye Chen originally thought that his arrangement was very reasonable and also very considerate for the two sisters.

But he never expected that Su Ruoli's eyes would turn red when she heard his words.

She looked at Ye Chen and choked, "Young Master Ye... Ruoli's life was saved by you... Ruoli's cultivation was also broken through with your help... You are Ruoli's greatest benefactor in this life. In the future, Ruoli only wants to stay by your side and serve you with all her heart, and doesn't want to return to the Su family..."

Ye Chen explained, "I'm not asking you to return to the current Su family, but to return after your sister becomes the head of the Su family."

Su Ruoli choked angrily, "Then I won't return either! Although my sister and I have half the same bloodline, in the final analysis, I don't owe her anything, and I don't want to stay by her side in the future..."

Speaking of this, she subconsciously grabbed Ye Chen's hand and cried, "Young Master Ye, please don't drive Ruoli away in the future, okay?"

Ye Chen said helplessly, "Your identity is relatively sensitive now, and you cannot return to normal life immediately, so I keep you by my side. But in the end, this matter will pass, and the hatred of the Japanese for you will gradually fade or even be forgotten with the passage of time. By that time, you can have your own life again. Why do you have to waste it by my side?"

Su Ruoli said firmly, "I don't want my own life... I just want to stay by Young Master Ye's side and serve you..."

Saying that, she wiped away her tears and said a little angrily, "Young Master Ye, if one day you don't want Ruoli to follow you anymore, Ruoli won't pester you. By then, Ruoli will find a nunn

Ye Chen was completely speechless. After a long while, he asked: "You... what are you doing this for? You are only in your early twenties! You have a great life ahead of you! And with your current cultivation, even if you never make any more progress from now on, you can easily live past one hundred. That means you've only lived through one-fifth, or even one-sixth, of your life!"

"I don't care," Su Ruoli said firmly. "If I hadn't met Young Master Ye, my life would have already been one hundred percent over, and there wouldn't be a Su Ruoli sitting here safe and sound! So, no matter how much time I have left, it was all given to me by you, Young Master Ye. Therefore, I am willing to spend all of this time on you, Young Master Ye!"

Hearing these words from Su Ruoli, Ye Chen felt both moved and helpless deep down.

He had originally wanted to continue persuading this stubborn girl, but looking at her eyes, it seemed he was not someone who could persuade her at all.

Thus, Ye Chen gave up on this thought.

Just as he had said earlier, the future was still very, very long; there was absolutely no need for him to force Su Ruoli to understand everything right now.

There would be plenty of time in the future; the days were long, and even if her thoughts were as firm as a rock, they would surely change as time went on.

Thinking of this, he simply changed the subject and said: "By the way, Ruoli, I have already asked Old Chen to urgently buy a villa by the river. It's a second-hand detached house with eight rooms and a basement of over three hundred square meters. When your grandfather and the others arrive, they will live there, and they can cultivate quietly without being disturbed."

Su Ruoli hurriedly said: "Young Master Ye, you don't have to be so extravagant. The He family used to serve the Su family by living in the Su residence, and it was like a school dormitory, divided by gender with bunk beds. You really don't need to buy a villa; it's too extravagant..."

Ye Chen laughed: "I bought the villa to lend to your grandfather and the others to live in. You must not have any psychological pressure. Besides, I bought the house as an investment; the main point is to let it sit there and appreciate in value."

Su Ruoli added: "But, after grandfather and the others arrive, they will definitely have to be at your beck and call twenty-four hours a day, even staying by your side. If you arrange for them to live in a villa, what if you have an emergency? They certainly wouldn't be able to arrive in time."

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "These are all small matters. Actually, I'm used to being on my own and usually don't bring anyone with me. Even Hong Wu and Chen Zekai don't follow me around twenty-four hours a day. They have their own affairs and their own lives; they don't revolve around me twenty-four hours a day. Your grandfather and the others are the same."

Su Ruoli asked hurriedly: "Young Master Ye, if they aren't to follow you, what will their main tasks be after they arrive?"

Ye Chen said: "I've already thought about this. When the time comes, those martial artists of your He family can be divided to help Hong Wu and Chen Zekai."

"Although Hong Wu has many underlings, they are all unrefined street fighters. They are fine for brawling on the street, but if they ever encounter a true expert, they are all useless."

"So, when the time comes, your He family members will, on one hand, help Hong Wu handle matters beyond his capabilities, and on the other hand, help Hong Wu train his underlings a little."

"As for Chen Zekai, although his men are all considered well-trained, they are still lacking compared to you martial artists. So, you must also help them improve their overall strength."

On the road, these He family members were all very excited.

As she spoke, Su Ruoli looked at Ye Chen with some shyness and asked hesitantly: "Young Master Ye, I wonder... I wonder what arrangements you have for me..."

Ye Chen laughed: "Your situation is special, so just continue to stay at the Buckingham Palace. Except for me and your mother, try not to have any contact with others."
