Chapter 1536

Hearing Lin Wanqiu's question, Ye Chen was momentarily stunned.

This was the second time Ye Chen had heard someone ask him whether he wanted to go to the United States to find his grandparents.

And the last person who asked him that was Gu Qiuyi.

Therefore, Ye Chen repeated the same words he had said to Gu Qiuyi to Lin Wanqiu, expressing that he did not want to disturb grandparents he hadn't seen in twenty years, and hadn't even met many times to begin with.

When Lin Wanqiu heard this, although she understood it deeply in her heart, one could still tell from her expression that she felt somewhat regretful for Ye Chen.

After hesitating for a moment, she said earnestly: "Chen'er, actually, for so many years, it hasn't just been you searching alone. During the process of looking for you, your Uncle Gu and I have also been trying every possible way to find out the truth about your parents' murder and the mastermind behind that incident. But for so many years, we haven't found any truly meaningful clues. So, your Uncle Gu and I both feel that there must be a very powerful mastermind behind this, pushing and manipulating everything. If you want to rely on your personal ability to find them, I'm afraid it will be very difficult."

Gu Yanzhong also nodded at this time and said: "Chen'er, although on the surface, today's society has become globalized, when it comes to the actual division of classes, the barriers between each class are far beyond your imagination."

"In our country, there are only four or five top-tier families. Even if other families are very wealthy, they can never integrate into the circle of top-tier families. And many secrets, many special channels, and resources are only known and mastered by these few top-tier families. This is just within the country. If you look at the whole world, there are only those three true top-tier families. Many secrets are only known to these three families, and many things can only be investigated by these three families."

"As for who killed your parents, your grandparents very likely already know the answer. Even if they don't, if you utilize their resources, I believe you could get to the bottom of it. Therefore, if you can acknowledge your grandparents, this mystery might be solved immediately."

Lin Wanqiu also agreed very much and said: "Yes, Chen'er, your Uncle Gu is right. It's even possible that your grandparents have already avenged your parents for you. If that's the case, you thinking about uncovering the truth of what happened back then and finding the murderer who killed your parents by yourself might very well be a futile effort. Regardless, acknowledging your grandparents first and then confirming this matter with them is the safest way."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was silent for dozens of seconds before saying: "Auntie Lin, Uncle Gu, I understand your reasoning, but I am not mentally prepared for this yet. Let me consider this matter further."

Lin Wanqiu nodded and said earnestly: "Chen'er, if you acknowledge your grandparents as soon as possible, there is another great benefit, which is the immensely powerful resources of the An family. If the An family is willing to help you, it's not just as simple as helping you get on your feet; they could even save you twenty years of struggle."

Ye Chen had never thought about utilizing his grandparents' resources, but Lin Wanqiu's words were indeed completely out of good intentions, so he knew he certainly couldn't hurt her good will.

So he temporarily agreed and said: "Auntie Lin, you are right. I will also incorporate this issue and consider it seriously."

"That's good!" Lin Wanqiu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "You are the grandson of the Ye family and the grandson of the An family. If you can fully inherit the Ye family in the future and then integrate the resources of the An family, all the major families in the country will be eclipsed in front of you. Plus, with your own outstanding ability, perhaps in a few years, under your leadership, the Ye family could become the second Chinese family to rank among the world's top."

Gu Yanzhong also said earnestly: "Although the Gu family's strength hasn't reached the top tier in the true sense, we still have the strength to add fuel to your fire, Chen'er. By then, perhaps we can help you stand higher and see further!"

Ye Chen looked at the couple gratefully and said sincerely: "Uncle Gu, Auntie Lin, thank you for your expectations of me. In the future, I will definitely go all out and not let you down."

These words came from the bottom of Ye Chen's heart.

He hoped that he would be able to reach the highest point in the future and look down upon all the mountains.

However, he hoped even more to be able to climb up by relying entirely on his own ability, rather than by playing both sides.

The meal proceeded very smoothly and naturally in this family atmosphere.

After the meal, Ye Chen used his spiritual energy to disperse all the alcohol in his body, ensuring that he would have absolutely nothing to do with drunk driving, before driving Gu Qiuyi to the performance venue first, and then driving Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu to the Bai Jinhangong.

The two of them had quite a few things to attend to; they would rest at the hotel this afternoon, and after watching Gu Qiuyi's concert at the venue in the evening, they would fly back to Yanjing overnight.

After hearing their plan, Ye Chen said: "Uncle Gu, Auntie Lin, why don't you not bother going back tonight? Just rest at the Bai Jinhangong for the night, and returning tomorrow morning shouldn't affect anything."

Gu Yanzhong shook his head and smiled: "There is another meeting tomorrow morning. If we leave tomorrow, it will be too late."

Ye Chen said: "But with such a rush, I'm afraid your bodies won't be able to take it."

Gu Yanzhong laughed: "Before, it might have been a bit much, but now there definitely won't be such a situation."

"Yes." Lin Wanqiu also nodded and smiled: "After taking the Rejuvenation Pill, I feel like I have endless energy. Taking a red-eye flight shouldn't have any impact. After your Uncle Gu and I return to Yanjing tonight, we can still have a good rest at home, and go directly to the group for a meeting tomorrow. This is much more relaxed than rushing back tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, Ye Chen didn't try to persuade them further and said hurriedly: "Then I'll take you to the airport tonight."

"No need, Chen'er." Lin Wanqiu said very earnestly: "I heard from Nannan that you are going to watch her concert with your wife tonight. When the concert ends, you will definitely go home with your wife. It will be late at night by then, so I can't have you leave her behind. You just watch the performance and take her home with peace of mind. Your Uncle Gu and I can go to the airport ourselves."

Gu Yanzhong also said: "Chen'er, you don't need to worry about us tonight. Later, when we are at the concert venue, if we happen to see each other in front of your wife, don't greet us either, otherwise it will be hard for you to explain to her. Let's just each happily watch the performance tonight and then go home separately. When you return to Yanjing for the ancestor worship, we will meet again!"

Ye Chen didn't expect the Gu Yanzhong couple to be so considerate of him. While moved, he couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.

The guilt stemmed from the fact that Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu had given him three years to resolve his marriage with Xiao Churan, so that Gu Qiuyi could marry him after three years.

Although he had neither confirmed nor denied it in front of them at the time, he had long ago made a decision in his heart not to divorce Xiao Churan.

Therefore, facing their meticulous care now, Ye Chen naturally felt ashamed.

Thus, he secretly decided in his heart that since the marriage matter could not fulfill the wishes of the Gu family of three, he must definitely give them more compensation in other aspects in the future...
