Chapter 3411: Being Jealous

In the afternoon, Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi's family of three arrived at the Ye family residence.

Ye Chen's aunt, Ye Changmin, had been busy all day preparing for this family banquet.

Ever since Ye Chen subdued the Wan Pojun on Ye Ling Mountain, Ye Changmin had been looking for an opportunity to mend her relationship with this nephew of hers, and today was a perfect chance to show her efforts, so she worked especially hard.

Moreover, as the only member of the second generation of the Ye family invited, she felt quite proud, thinking that if she could establish herself among the second generation of the Ye family, that is, Ye Chen's father's generation, she might gain access to more resources in the future.

After all, Ye Chen was deeply disappointed with his uncles and cousins, so this was a good opportunity for her to secure her position.

Ye Zhongquan doted on this daughter excessively; although he was no longer the head of the Ye family, he still wanted to help Ye Changmin.

After the lavish family banquet was prepared, Ye Chen drove the business car and brought Gu Qiuyi to the Ye family residence.

Gu Yanzhong and his wife followed in another car.

As the vehicle entered the gate, Ye Changmin supported the old man and went to the courtyard to welcome them.

Although the old man was in good health and didn't need support, Ye Changmin still wished to display a harmonious scene of paternal kindness and filial piety in front of Ye Chen and the Gu family, so she was especially attentive.

Moreover, Ye Changming, who usually wore a sour face, had been wearing a salesman-like enthusiastic smile from start to finish today, even to the point of his facial muscles stiffening.

Seeing Ye Chen park the car first, she supported the old man and came forward; just then Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi got out of the car, and upon seeing Ye Chen, Ye Changmin immediately beamed and said warmly: "Ah, Chen'er has come, and Nannan has come too!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, and Gu Qiuyi beside him sweetly said: "Hello, Aunt Ye!"

Because of their close ties with the Ye family, Gu Qiuyi had been addressing Ye family members as Ye Chen did since childhood—calling the old man Ye Ye, and uncles, aunts, etc., just as Ye Chen did.

Ye Changmin smiled and said to Gu Qiuyi: "Ah, Nannan, I've been hoping you'd just call me Aunt directly, instead of 'Aunt Ye,' which sounds so distant!"

Ye Changmin's words made Gu Qiuyi blush slightly.

Now, when following Ye Chen's way of addressing people, one still needs to use the surname; only after truly becoming part of the family and changing one's mode of address can one drop the surname and directly call someone "Aunt."

Ye Chen had long grown numb to this attitude of both the Ye and Gu families, so he said nothing, merely turning to look at the Rolls-Royce behind; Gu Yanzhong parked his car beside Ye Chen's business car, then got out with his wife.

"Uncle Ye, Changmin."

Gu Yanzhong got out of the car and smiled as he greeted the two.

Ye Zhongquan and Ye Changmin, father and daughter, looked at the couple and were so shocked they could not speak.

It was obvious to everyone that this couple had become much younger, and excessively so.

They looked like a couple in their mid-thirties, with excellent figures and extraordinary demeanor; saying they were a celebrity couple from the entertainment industry would not be an exaggeration.

Ye Changmin couldn't help but wonder: Lin Wanqiu is about my age, yet she maintains herself so well—how does she do it?

Ye Zhongquan, however, immediately saw the clue.

He thought sourly to himself: "The Gu couple must have taken the Rejuvenation Pill, and judging by this, it's not just half a pill each—likely a whole one per person."

I've dreamed of getting the Rejuvenation Pill for so long, and in front of Ye Chen I've tried hard to perform, but all I got was half a pill at the auction.

And now I'm this old, and I only have half a pill.

In contrast, Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu are just over fifty—how could they possibly get a whole Rejuvenation Pill?

This is not only unfair, but also unnecessary.

As for me, this near-starving person, Ye Chen only let me eat half a fill, while the Gu couple have never gone hungry and were even treated by Ye Chen to eat until they were bloated.

Thinking this, Ye Zhongquan felt even more depressed.

But he dare not show it in front of Ye Chen, so he could only smile and greet them: "Ah, Yanzhong, Wanqiu, you two really maintain yourselves well—this state hardly looks like middle-aged people, more like young people."

Ye Changmin felt deeply envious; she quickly stepped forward to Lin Wanqiu, smiling and asked: "Wanqiu, how exactly do you and Elder Gu maintain yourselves? Please share your secrets with me—I spend a lot on maintenance all year, yet the results are nowhere near yours."

Lin Wanqiu felt a bit embarrassed, unsure how to answer.

Originally, she and her husband had planned that if outsiders asked, they would just casually mention some new, unreleased medical beauty product as an excuse.

But the person asking now is Ye Chen's aunt, and Ye Chen himself is right here; if she lied, it would seem inappropriate.

So she glanced at Ye Chen, embarrassed, and said: "This…… this…… probably can't be explained clearly in just one or two sentences……"

Ye Changmin quickly said: "Hey, what's the problem? If you're not convenient to say, just recommend a contact person—I'll go find them directly, no matter the cost, as long as I can get your results!"

Ye Zhongquan silently sighed: "Changmin, Changmin, you don't know how expensive the Rejuvenation Pill is—if you did, you'd never say such things; even if we sold the entire Ye family, we could at most exchange for one pill."

So he gave Ye Changmin a look, signaling her to stop asking, then used his finger to lightly write the three characters "Rejuvenation Pill" on the back of her hand.

Upon realizing that the old man had written "Rejuvenation Pill," Ye Changmin was utterly stunned, eyes wide open.

She knew of the Rejuvenation Pill; the old man had mentioned it to her before.

It was the existence that, at the auction, the An family offered over three billion US dollars for and still couldn't buy.

Her heart trembled—how could the Gu family possibly have such power? Even the Ye family couldn't afford such a pill, yet the Gu family not only could afford it, but both husband and wife had taken it.

But when she glanced at Ye Chen beside her, she suddenly understood.

The Gu family certainly doesn't have the strength to buy the Rejuvenation Pill, but since Ye Chen has always been very good to them, this pill must have been given by Ye Chen.

Thinking this, Ye Changmin also felt a bit depressed.

I am Ye Chen's aunt; logically, the aunt-nephew relationship should be the closest.

It's just that I was previously too overbearing, offended Ye Chen in Jin Ling, and made our relationship tense; now it seems that if I want to get the Rejuvenation Pill, I probably have no chance.

Ye Changmin felt a bit regretful—if I had known my nephew was this capable, I wouldn't have put on airs in front of him and his mother-in-law back then.

Standing nearby, Ye Chen noticed the old man and his aunt were feeling resentful, smiled without showing it, and said: "Grandfather, Aunt, let's not talk here in the courtyard—it's quite cold; let's go inside to talk!"
