Chapter 3142: People are never young again

Over the years, the accumulated grievances between the Ye family and the An family came more from deepening misunderstandings.

At the beginning, after Ye Chen's father, Ye Changying, was targeted by the Anti-Qing Society, because he didn't want to implicate his family, he deliberately made an enemy of the Rothschild family.

It was precisely because he made an enemy of the Rothschild family and caused the Ye family to bear huge pressure that Ye Zhongquan was forced to drive Ye Changying out of the family.

At that time, Ye Zhongquan didn't know that his most beloved second son had long been facing life-threatening danger. He just felt that the Ye family making an enemy of the Rothschild family would not get any substantial benefits, but would greatly affect the family's future development internationally.

To show favor to the Rothschild family and to show them that they had no intention of being enemies, he drove Ye Changying out of the house.

In fact, what he thought in his heart was that driving Ye Changying away was just a temporary gesture. On one hand, it made Ye Changying unable to mobilize the Ye family's resources to confront the Rothschild family, and on the other hand, it made the Rothschild family satisfied.

Moreover, he also knew that the Ye family and the Rothschild family were only in a competitive relationship in business at that time, and they would absolutely not extend this competitive relationship into substantial confrontation and harm.

In other words, this was competition between two ordinary companies. One side, to express sincerity to the other, had the chairman come forward to fire their own CEO. In this situation, the CEO would at most be idle for a period of time, and the other company would absolutely not hire someone to assassinate him.

Therefore, when Ye Changying decided to take his wife and children away from Yanjing to Jin Ling, Ye Zhongquan never thought that Jin Ling would be his son's burial place. He even felt that his son Ye Changying seemed to have too much anger during that period, and going to Jin Ling to relax and cultivate his character was not a bad thing.

But he never expected that the trip he thought was for relaxation would become the beginning of the father and son being separated by life and death.

Neither the Ye family nor the An family knew that An Chengxi survived in Ye Changying's meticulous plan, so when the bad news reached both families, Ye Zhongquan beat his chest and stamped his feet, regretting it too late, while the An family hated Ye Zhongquan to death.

Because the An family felt that it was because Ye Zhongquan drove Ye Changying's family of three away that their daughter An Chengxi died in a foreign land, and their grandson Ye Chen also evaporated from the world.

It wasn't until Ye Chen's appearance that both sides figured out the truth. In fact, Ye Changying's death was not caused by Ye Zhongquan, but by Ye Changying and An Chengxi not wanting to implicate both families, taking the initiative to make an enemy of the Rothschild family, and being driven out of the Ye family by Ye Zhongquan because of this.

All of this was planned by Ye Changying and An Chengxi. Ye Zhongquan was just a pawn in their design, but he had borne it for twenty years in a muddled way. Knowing these, how could the An family continue to hold grievances against him?

The fact was, after the An family knew these, not only was there no hatred for Ye Zhongquan, but they even felt guilty because they had targeted him openly and secretly for so many years.

Today, Ye Zhongquan came to Jin Ling. An Qishan wanted to take the whole family to the airport to greet him, but Ye Chen dispelled this idea on the grounds that it was not suitable for the An family to appear collectively.

However, although An Qishan didn't come to the airport, he had already let his wife and children prepare carefully at home for a long time. The whole family organized a sumptuous family banquet together, just waiting for Ye Chen to bring Ye Zhongquan over.

Because this was a low-key trip, Ye Zhongquan didn't bring any accompanying personnel, and Ye Chen just drove an inconspicuous BMW sedan to pick up the old man from the airport, and the grandfather and grandson went straight to the Xiangxieli Hot Spring Villa in the suburbs.

When Ye Chen drove the car to the gate of the villa, before the car stopped steadily, everyone in the An family walked out of the villa.

An Qishan and his wife walked in the front, supporting each other, with four children following behind, and even Li Yalin came out to greet them together.

Ye Zhongquan in the car saw the An family greeting them. Besides being surprised, he was inevitably a little nervous. The car was still slowing down, and he had already subconsciously unbuckled his seat belt, and then was about to open the car door.

The moment the seat belt prompt sounded, Ye Chen also stopped the car completely.

Ye Zhongquan pulled the car door open almost at the same time Ye Chen stopped the car, and couldn't wait to get out of the car.

And An Qishan couldn't help but walk a few steps faster. When Ye Zhongquan got out of the car, he arrived outside the car, extended his hands to him for the first time, and said with emotion: "Brother Ye, it's been many years, how have you been?"

Ye Zhongquan shook hands with him and nodded slightly: "Brother An, how have you been?"

With two simple greetings, the hands of the two old men held together had already swung up and down heavily many times.

Ye Chen's maternal grandmother also walked up and said politely: "Brother Ye, long time no see!"

Ye Zhongquan nodded to her and smiled: "Sister-in-law, have you been well all these years?"

"Very well." The old lady nodded and hurriedly said to the children behind her: "Don't just stand there, greet Uncle Ye."

Ye Chen's three uncles and aunt also said in unison: "Hello, Uncle Ye."

Ye Zhongquan nodded to the four and said with a smile: "You too. It's been so many years, you have changed a lot."

An Chongqiu said respectfully: "Uncle Ye, when we met before, we were all high-spirited young people. Now we have entered the middle-aged and elderly sequence one after another."

Ye Zhongquan sighed: "Flowers have a day to bloom again, people are never young again. As long as there are no regrets in your heart, it doesn't matter if you are old."

An Chongqiu nodded: "Uncle Ye is right."

Seeing that Ye Chen had also gotten out of the car, An Qishan hurriedly said to everyone: "Let's go in and talk while eating! The food and wine are ready."

After speaking, he looked at Ye Zhongquan again and said seriously: "Brother Ye, you must have a few drinks together tonight!"

Ye Zhongquan agreed without hesitation: "The doctor has always told me not to drink, but I must have a few drinks tonight!"

A group of people crowded the three old men into the villa. The huge dining table in the dining room was already full of food. An Qishan pulled Ye Zhongquan to sit together. He got up and poured a glass of wine for Ye Zhongquan, filled his own, and at the same time arranged for several children and Ye Chen: "You guys also accompany us for a few drinks tonight."

Hearing this, Ye Chen got up and poured wine for his three uncles, aunt, and Li Yalin.

An Qishan picked up his wine glass himself and said to Ye Zhongquan with full guilt: "Brother Ye, for so many years, the An family has neglected you a lot. Many things were done wrong by us. I sincerely apologize to you on behalf of the An family here. Please don't hold it against us!"

Ye Zhongquan naturally understood the meaning of An Qishan's words. For so many years, he had indeed been targeted by the An family many times. Once, he met An Kaifeng at an important meeting overseas. Although the latter was a junior, he still didn't give him any face.

But Ye Zhongquan had always been objective in his dealings. He knew that the An family was dissatisfied with him because An Chengxi lost her life after marrying into the Ye family. Even if it were a more reasonable maternal family, they would definitely have grievances. What's more, An Chengxi was the eldest daughter of the An family and the brightest pearl of the An family. Not only did her parents love her dearly, but her three younger brothers and one younger sister also regarded her as an idol. An Chengxi's death was a huge loss and pain for everyone in the An family.

Thus, he also picked up his wine glass and said sincerely: "I, Ye Zhongquan, have hated many people and blamed many people in my life, but the An family is definitely not among them. Since the matter of Chengxi and Changying happened in Jin Ling that year, it is the responsibility of the Ye family. It is the Ye family that did not fulfill the obligation of protecting them. It is human nature for you to blame me."

As he spoke, he added: "If Changying had an accident in the United States that year, and I didn't know the specific situation, I would definitely blame the An family."

As soon as these words came out, Ye Zhongquan's expression suddenly became very lonely, and he whispered: "Sigh, for so many years, I have been everywhere, but I have never been to Jin Ling. This is the first time since Changying and Chengxi were buried."

An Qishan's expression was sad. He sighed for a long time and nodded: "Sigh! I didn't want to come to Jin Ling before, and I couldn't even hear the two words 'Jin Ling'. But later, knowing that Chen'er had been living here for so many years, I didn't feel so repelled by Jin Ling in my heart."

Ye Zhongquan nodded: "Thanks to Chen'er, otherwise I wouldn't know who harmed Changying and Chengxi until now."

Having said that, Ye Zhongquan suddenly remembered something and said to An Qishan: "Chen'er now has extraordinary strength. Maybe we can live to see him wipe out that damn Anti-Qing Society!"

"We will." An Qishan said solemnly: "The moment I recognized Chen'er, I had already made a decision. The only mission of the An family now is to do our best to help Chen'er wipe out the Anti-Qing Society and avenge Changying and Chengxi. To achieve this goal, everything the An family has now can be abandoned!"

Ye Zhongquan nodded and said: "The Ye family is the same. I have already passed the position of head of the Ye family to Chen'er. The current Ye family takes Chen'er as the leader in everything. As long as the Anti-Qing Society can be wiped out, what if the Ye family goes bankrupt?"

An Qishan agreed: "Brother Ye is right. Revenge is also what the An family wants to do most now. To achieve this goal, all the resources of the An family are at Chen'er's disposal. Plus the Ye family, our two families exhaust everything, plus Chen'er's extraordinary talent, wiping out the Anti-Qing Society is absolutely not a problem!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Chen and said sincerely: "Chen'er, if your grandfather doesn't live to the day you wipe out the Anti-Qing Society, then when everything settles down, you must tell me in front of my tomb!"

Ye Chen, who had not spoken, said at this time: "Grandfather, rest assured, you will definitely see the Anti-Qing Society vanish into thin air! It won't be long before I take the initiative to attack the Anti-Qing Society. I will pull out the teeth of the Anti-Qing Society one by one, and then kill that Wu Feiyan with my own hands. When everything settles down, we will go to Mount Ye Ling together and tell my parents this good news. They will definitely be very gratified in the afterlife!" ===== CHAPTER 3143 =====
