Chapter 2845

When Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er drove from Yanjing Airport to the Ye family's old house, Tang Sihai was already waiting at the old house with the old master Ye Zhongquan.

Ye Zhongquan was picked up by Tang Sihai. After he left Yonghe Palace, he picked up Ye Zhongquan from the Ye family manor and returned to the old house.

Ye Zhongquan always wanted to find more opportunities to improve his relationship with his grandson Ye Chen. It's just that although Ye Chen has become the helmsman of the Ye family, he doesn't come to Yanjing often, so he, the grandfather, doesn't see Ye Chen a few times a year.

Hearing that Ye Chen was coming to Yanjing this time, Ye Zhongquan was naturally quite happy. Before he arrived at the old house, he had already arranged for the chef to prepare a family banquet to welcome Ye Chen at the old house.

When Ye Chen arrived at the old house, Ye Zhongquan even went to the courtyard with Tang Sihai to greet him.

Seeing Ye Chen get out of the car, he said excitedly: "Chen'er, why did you suddenly come to Yanjing today?"

Ye Chen said truthfully: "Grandfather, I came back to the old house to take a look, and by the way, I want to sort out the things my parents left behind."

Ye Zhongquan nodded repeatedly and said without hesitation: "Your parents' room has never been moved, it's still the way it was before."

At this time, the passenger door opened, and the "classical beauty" Lin Wan'er, who looked like she was seventeen or eighteen, got out of the car. Looking at Ye Zhongquan, she said respectfully: "Hello, Grandfather, my name is Lin Xiaowan."

Looking at Lin Wan'er, Ye Zhongquan was very surprised.

He really didn't expect that Ye Chen would bring a girl home this time.

And this girl was neither Ye Chen's wife Xiao Churan, nor Gu Qiuyi who had a marriage contract with Ye Chen.

What surprised him even more was that this girl was so young...

Ye Chen was twenty-eight or nine, almost thirty, and this girl looked like she was sixteen or seventeen. The age difference was really a bit big.

What made him even more puzzled was the girl's identity.

After all, as Ye Chen's grandfather, he knew very well that Ye Chen had many female confidantes, but Lin Wan'er was the first one brought to the old house by Ye Chen.

This couldn't help but make him guess Lin Wan'er's identity and the relationship between Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er.

Ye Chen also saw that Ye Zhongquan was very curious, so he explained: "Grandfather, Xiaowan is a younger sister I recognized in Jin Ling. She happened to have nothing to do recently, so she accompanied me to take a look."

"Oh, oh..." Although Ye Zhongquan hadn't figured it out yet, he still said to Lin Wan'er with a smile: "Miss Lin, just treat this place as your own home, don't be polite."

Lin Wan'er nodded obediently and said: "Thank you, Grandfather."

Ye Zhongquan looked at Lin Wan'er and asked tentatively: "Miss Lin, you don't look old. Are you twenty this year?"

Lin Wan'er said: "Just turned eighteen this year."

Ye Zhongquan breathed a sigh of relief.

He knew very well that there are two hurdles for women's age in society, one is fourteen, which is the legal hurdle, and the other is eighteen, which is the moral hurdle.

For ordinary people, as long as they cross the legal hurdle, this matter is legal. As for the moral hurdle, it depends on everyone's moral standards.

But for people with status, just crossing the legal hurdle is not enough. They must cross the moral hurdle, otherwise, they will definitely be criticized and criticized.

Those well-known rich second generations who are extremely arrogant and change girlfriends faster than changing socks don't dare to linger in the middle zone between these two hurdles, because once they do, they will definitely be criticized by the public.

Ye Zhongquan was also afraid that Lin Wan'er was under eighteen. If it were exposed, it would affect Ye Chen and the Ye family. But hearing Lin Wan'er say she was already eighteen, he felt much more relaxed.

Tang Sihai, who had been silent, stepped forward and said respectfully: "Young Master, the old master has already arranged a family banquet. Please have something to eat with Miss Lin first!"

Ye Zhongquan also came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, Chen'er, you don't come to Yanjing often. Hearing that you suddenly came tonight, I hurriedly asked people to prepare some wine and dishes. Later, you accompany grandfather to have two drinks."

"Okay." Ye Chen nodded slightly and said: "Then let's go in and talk while eating."

Returning to this old house where he lived for several years in his childhood, Ye Chen felt both familiar and strange.

Although the house was still the way it was back then, without any major changes, when Ye Chen lived here, this house was always lively and noisy.

Back then, Ye Chen's father, Ye Changying, was infinitely glorious in the Ye family.

Although Ye Zhongquan had not officially passed the position of family head to him, at that time, he was already the actual helmsman of the entire Ye family.

Under his leadership, the Ye family moved forward, and the entire Ye family was unprecedentedly united because of his drive.

At that time, whether it was Ye Changkong or Ye Changmin, they were all willing to be a foil by Ye Changying's side, because they knew that being a supporting role by Ye Changying's side would yield far more benefits than playing the lead role themselves.

Therefore, everyone was happy and relaxed, just following Ye Changying's side waiting for him to distribute resources.

However, after Ye Changying passed away, the Ye family lost the key that twisted the entire Ye family into a rope. Everyone began to have their own thoughts. Ye Changkong hoped to inherit the position of family head early, while Ye Changmin and others hoped to split the family as soon as possible and lock in their share of benefits early.

Since then, the Ye family has never had the scene of unity and prosperity back then.

In recent years, with the completion of the Ye family manor, the Ye family members have basically moved out of this old house, leaving only some servants to take care of it, so it looks a bit lonely now.

Several people came to the restaurant, and the table was already full of rich wine and dishes.

Ye Zhongquan invited Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er to take their seats, and Tang Sihai, who was on the side, took the initiative to open a bottle of white wine, poured a pot for the grandfather and grandson, and then stood respectfully behind Ye Zhongquan.

Ye Chen looked at him and said: "Butler Tang, sit down and eat something."

Tang Sihai said hurriedly: "Thank you, Young Master. You and the old master haven't seen each other for many days. It's just a good opportunity to have a few drinks and chat well. This subordinate won't disturb you! Besides, this subordinate is a servant. Sitting at the table with you and the old master is breaking the rules."

Ye Chen waved his hand: "Butler Tang, don't be so restrained. I remember when I was a child, my father often invited you to drink together. My life was saved by you, and I have been taken care of by you in secret for the past twenty years. I have always wanted to find an opportunity to toast you. Today, you must not be too polite."

Tang Sihai said in fear and trepidation: "Young Master, please don't say that. The reason why this subordinate was able to take you to escape twenty years ago and settle you in the Jin Ling Welfare Institute was all arranged by your father, Changying Young Master. This subordinate just executed the task arranged by Changying Young Master..."

As he spoke, he sighed with red eyes: "To this day, this subordinate only dares to say that I am lucky not to have disgraced the mission, that's all..."

Ye Chen's heart moved, and he asked him: "Butler Tang, you said that you took me away back then and settled me in the welfare institute, all were arranged by my father?"

"Yes!" Tang Sihai blurted out: "Including the entire team of the welfare institute, they were all hand-picked and trained by your father. The dean, Old Zhang, was also a capable general of your father back then."

Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that my father had already anticipated the day when the Anti-Qing Society would come to the door..."

As he spoke, Ye Chen pointed to the empty seat beside him and said to Tang Sihai: "Butler Tang, sit down and eat something. I'll have two drinks with you."

Tang Sihai still wanted to decline, but Ye Zhongquan on the side said: "Sihai, there are no outsiders here, you don't have to be so restrained. Chen'er grew up under your secret protection, you deserve this toast from him."

Seeing that both the old and the young let him take his seat, Tang Sihai didn't decline anymore and sat respectfully beside Ye Chen.

Ye Chen smelled a faint scent of incense, so he looked at Tang Sihai and asked casually: "Butler Tang went to the temple today?"
