Chapter 1643: Comrades and comrades-in-arms
Since both the Ye family and the Gu family prepared motorcades, Gu Yanzhong simply let the Gu family's motorcade follow as well, which could be considered helping Ye Chen support the stage a bit more.
On the way to the Ye family, Tang Sihai drove personally and reported the process of Helena's incident today to Ye Chen in detail.
After listening, Ye Chen only had three feelings.
First, Helena hiding the truth was indeed ill-intentioned;
Second, the Ye family's way of throwing the pot was indeed shameless;
Third, Helena and the Ye family could still reach a consensus on this basis, proving that both sides were experts, and neither was a simple character.
Besides this, he could also infer that Helena's current situation must be at a dead end.
In China, the Ye family was unlikely to let her marry in, and in Northern Europe, the royal family members who threatened her with her mother's life wouldn't let her go back easily either.
She could be said to be in a dilemma.
However, Ye Chen didn't think about helping Helena.
For one, they weren't familiar, and for another, although Helena was pitiful, her scheming was too heavy.
Such a person was not suitable for too much contact.
When twenty Rolls-Royces drove into the Ye family in a grand manner, Ye Zhongquan had already led all the Ye family members to come out to greet them personally.
In the crowd, Helena had already changed into a very formal dress and had put on very decent makeup, completely unable to see that she had just walked through the gates of hell.
At this time, Ye Zhongquan was particularly excited.
For Ye Chen, Ye Zhongquan had many expectations.
Not only because of Ye Chen's unfathomable strength, and the momentum he showed in the Middle East against the Su family, but also because of the mystery Ye Chen mastered that could bring people back from the dead and rejuvenate them.
Not to mention that Helena biting her finger to save her life happened just over half an hour ago, the entire upper class of Yanjing still wanted to figure out how Gu Yanzhong, who was a terminal pancreatic cancer patient on the verge of death, could transform and miraculously recover, and even become twenty years younger.
It was a pity that Gu Yanzhong kept his mouth shut and didn't reveal anything to the outside world, even to his close friends.
Others didn't know the reason, but Ye Zhongquan did.
He knew that all of this was done by Ye Chen.
Because Ye Chen had said so to Ye Zhangmin personally.
Just for this point, Ye Zhongquan was willing to be subservient to Ye Chen.
If being subservient could exchange for twenty years of extended life, that was simply the most cost-effective deal he had ever made in his life.
However, no one in the Ye family except Ye Zhangmin understood the Old Master's approach.
It was fine to let Ye Chen come back, after all, he was a direct descendant of the Ye family.
But the Old Master personally led all of Ye Chen's uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters to line up at the gate to welcome Ye Chen. This way of lowering his own status made this group of people unable to accept it.
However, Ye Zhongquan didn't say anything, nor did he let them say anything.
Others saw him come out, so they could only follow obediently.
Soon, the vehicle Ye Chen was riding in stopped steadily in front of the Ye family members.
Ye Chen looked at Ye Zhongquan through the car window, and the Ye family members lined up in two rows behind him, feeling a thousand emotions in his heart.
Back then, his parents took him and left Yanjing in anger. At that time, no one from the Ye family saw them off.
Twenty years later, he was back, and the Ye family members were lined up to welcome him under the Old Master's leadership.
Comparing the two, how ironic!
And at this time, Ye Chen was sitting in the car and didn't mean to get off.
Tang Sihai had already gotten off from the front car, walked quickly to the car door where Ye Chen was, opened the door respectfully, and said: "Young Master Chen, we have arrived."
Ye Chen nodded lightly.
He still didn't rush to get off, but said to Gu Qiuyi in the car: "Nannan, thank you for your trouble, sending me off specially."
Gu Qiuyi smiled sweetly: "Brother Ye Chen, why are you being so polite with me."
Ye Chen nodded and said: "Then I'll go down first. You don't need to pick me up tonight. After it's over, I'll let Butler Tang send me back."
"Alright." Gu Qiuyi hurriedly said: "Then I'll wait for you at home."
Ye Chen responded, and only then did he walk out of the Rolls-Royce.
At this time, Ye Feng was already furious.
He lowered his voice and complained to his father Ye Changkong beside him: "I don't know where this Ye Chen gets such a big air! Grandpa led us to welcome him personally, and he didn't hurry to roll out of the car, but actually waited for Butler Tang to open the door for him! He's too good at putting on airs!"
Ye Changkong glared at him and drank in a low voice: "Watch your mouth! Don't you know the four words 'disaster comes from the mouth'?"
Ye Feng could only close his mouth resentfully.
Although he was still full of resentment in his heart, he didn't dare to show too much dissatisfaction.
Ye Chen got out of the car and didn't greet the Ye family members immediately, but stood outside the car, turned around and waved at Gu Qiuyi in the car, and only after watching the Rolls-Royce Gu Qiuyi was riding in leave did he turn back.
Most of the Ye family members were dissatisfied with Ye Chen's performance, but Ye Zhongquan didn't get angry at all, but instead grabbed Ye Chen's hand very excitedly and choked up: "Chen'er, you have been away from home for so long, you finally returned! It is truly heaven blessing my Ye family. Now that I can see you return to the Ye family while I'm alive, I can die without regrets!"
Ye Chen knew that the credibility of the Old Master's words was not very high.
However, Ye Chen didn't refute his face, and said politely: "Grandpa, I've made you worry for so many years."
Ye Zhongquan sighed: "It's okay, it's okay, it's good to be back! It's good to be back!"
As he spoke, he hurriedly grabbed Ye Chen's hand and said enthusiastically to the Ye family members behind him: "Come, Chen'er, you have been away from home for too long, many people you might not remember, so Grandpa will introduce them to you."
At this time, Ye Chen discovered that Helena in the crowd had been staring at him with a pair of azure eyes without blinking.
Ye Chen met her gaze briefly, and seeing that her eyes were full of gratitude and pleading, Ye Chen pretended not to see it and immediately turned to look at his eldest uncle, Ye Changkong.
Because the person the Old Master was preparing to introduce to Ye Chen first was his eldest son, Ye Chen's eldest uncle, Ye Changkong.
Ye Chen and Ye Changkong hadn't seen each other for twenty years, but after all, the appearance of middle-aged people didn't change much, so he could recognize him at a glance.
Ye Zhongquan pointed to Ye Changkong and said to Ye Chen: "Chen'er, this is your eldest uncle, do you still remember him?"
"I remember." Ye Chen nodded, and out of compliance with etiquette, took the initiative to say: "Hello, Uncle, long time no see."
Ye Changkong was very unhappy with Ye Chen, but his surface work was very well managed, and he sighed: "Chen'er, you can come back, Uncle is really too happy! For so many years, you don't know how worried we were about you."
Ye Chen nodded and said politely: "Thank you, Uncle."
Ye Changkong smiled hypocritically and said: "Chen'er, how long do you plan to stay in Yanjing this time? I'll let Brother Feng take you around Yanjing properly later!"
Ye Changkong's words were also what many people wanted to ask Ye Chen.
They all wanted to know what Ye Chen's plans were for coming this time.
Was he here to attend an Ancestor Worship Ceremony and then go back to Jin Ling, or was he not leaving at all after coming here.
Especially Ye Changkong, he knew that the Old Master was old and would soon hand over power, so he would naturally be the next head of the family, and Ye Feng would naturally be the candidate for the next head of the family.
However, a Ye Chen killed his way back at this time, which would definitely affect the future development direction more or less.
Therefore, he had to figure out Ye Chen's intentions first.
How could Ye Chen not hear the meaning in Ye Changkong's words, and smiled slightly: "Uncle, I came back this time to recognize my ancestors and return to the clan. After recognizing my ancestors and returning to the clan, I have officially become a member of the Ye family again. So for the question of how long, the answer should be as long as I want!"
After speaking, he smiled again: "Even if I don't live here often in the future, I must let Grandpa leave a room for me, because I will definitely come back often!"
After finishing, he smiled again: "Even if I don't live here often in the future, I still want Grandpa to save a room for me, because I will definitely come back often!"
