Chapter 788: Changying! Changying!

"Figure out who you are?!"

Although Gu Yanzheng was somewhat intimidated by Ye Chen's strength, he still looked full of disdain when he heard this.

He looked at Ye Chen and mocked, "I said, I have already investigated your background. Aren't you just a loser live-in son-in-law of the Xiao family in Jin Ling? Just a bottom-tier family in a small city, what are you being arrogant about with me?"

"Exactly!"

Gu Yangang also immediately said coldly, "You have to figure it out. If you take all the big families in your Jin Ling, one by one, and add them together, they won't even equal half of our Gu family!"

Gu Yangang's words were somewhat arrogant and exaggerated, but fundamentally, there was nothing wrong with his words.

Compared with Yan Jing, Jin Ling is indeed not a big city.

Moreover, the Song family, the number one family in Jin Ling, has assets of no more than 100 billion. Compared with the Gu family, it is far behind.

Therefore, Gu Yangang had the confidence to say such arrogant words.

At this time, Ye Chen smiled indifferently and asked, "Haven't you thought about it? If I were just a live-in son-in-law of a bottom-tier family in a small city, how could I possibly know Uncle Gu?"

Gu Yanzhong nodded, looked at his two younger brothers and two nephews playfully, and smiled without saying a word.

Gu Yanzheng snorted coldly, "Do you think I don't know what you do? Aren't you just a charlatan who reads feng shui?"

As he spoke, Gu Yanzheng looked full of disdain, "I know, you did fool a few local bumpkins in Jin Ling, but you have to know, this is Yan Jing, not Jin Ling! This is the place where real hidden dragons and crouching tigers are. You are popular in Jin Ling, so you think you are popular in Yan Jing too? There are so many capable people here, and dragons and phoenixes among people are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river. If you pull an old man who tells fortunes from under the city wall of the Four-Nine City, he is probably better than you!"

Ye Chen nodded and sighed, "Oh my, your words really enlightened me. If you hadn't been babbling here about the gap between Jin Ling and Yan Jing, I would have almost forgotten that I am not a Jin Ling person at all. I am actually a Yan Jing person!"

"What?" Gu Yanzheng frowned, "You are a Yan Jing person?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded with a smile, patted his chest, and said, "I am a native of Yan Jing. I only left Yan Jing for Jin Ling when I was eight years old."

Gu Yanzheng mocked upon hearing this, "Don't tell me you laid some foundation in Yan Jing before you were eight? You left Yan Jing at eight, and now that you've come back after such a long time, you dare to act wild in front of me?"

Gu Yanzhong smiled and asked him, "Second Brother, didn't you notice that Chen'er looks somewhat familiar? Don't you think he looks like someone?"

Gu Yanzheng squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Chen carefully, curled his lips and said, "Is there anything special about this kid's appearance? Plain, ordinary, not even as handsome and dashing as I was when I was young."

Gu Yanzhong laughed out loud, "Second Brother, I didn't expect that after living a life of luxury under my protection for so many years, you have actually regressed as you lived. You have really wasted more than forty years!"

Gu Yanzheng was startled and asked subconsciously, "What do you mean? You don't have to sell me short here. If you want to say something, just say it!"

Gu Yanzhong nodded, "Fine! Then I'll say it directly!"

After saying that, Gu Yanzhong stood up and said in an arrogant tone, "Do you remember that I had a sworn brother back then? The Gu family could have today thanks to his promotion ten or twenty years ago! Even when the old man was alive, he treated him as a guest of honor and respected him. At that time, you were just a playboy who didn't know much. The old man didn't let you have much contact with my sworn brother, fearing that you would lose face for the Gu family in front of him. What was my sworn brother's surname?"

Gu Yanzheng had long forgotten Ye Chen's father for many years. After all, the deceased is gone, and many relatives may not remember the deceased for more than ten years, not to mention that Gu Yanzheng had no friendship with Ye Chen's father.

Back then, Gu Yanzheng just watched his eldest brother swear brotherhood with the brightest star of the Ye family, feeling envious and jealous in his heart, but after Ye Chen's father passed away, he gradually forgot about this matter.

However, now that he was directly named by his eldest brother, his brain immediately thought of that handsome, dashing, and extraordinary figure.

Hearing his eldest brother's last question, he said subconsciously, "I remember him, his surname is Ye, the most powerful person in the Ye family back then..."

Speaking of this, his whole body was like an electric shock, his eyes widened to the extreme, staring at Ye Chen!

At this moment, the two figures separated by twenty years overlapped in his mind.

Only then did he realize that this young man with a sharp momentum in front of him looked so much like the young man in high spirits back then!

Thinking that Ye Chen also had the surname Ye and was so close to his eldest brother, he was immediately struck by lightning. He pointed at Ye Chen tremblingly and asked Gu Yanzhong with a trembling voice, "Eldest Brother, is he... is he... is he the son of the Ye family's Second Master, Brother Changying?!"

The Ye family's Second Master refers to Ye Chen's father, Ye Changying!

The two words "Changying" are taken from the great man's classic poem: "Today the long spear is in hand, when will we bind the blue dragon!"

And Ye Changying's implication is: The Ye family has a son who can bind the blue dragon!

And he was the second among the Ye family's descendants back then.

Although he was not the eldest son, his ability was the strongest in the Ye family. At a young age, he could strategize in the business world and win thousands of miles away!

Under his leadership, the Ye family even fought back and forth in the business world with the Rothschild family, which had a history of hundreds of years in Europe and America, and could even make the other side eventually suffer and compromise!

Back then, countless rich second generations in Yan Jing regarded him as their life idol!

Countless rich first generations looked at him and sighed, expressing the emotion that "if you have a son, he should be like Ye Changying"!

Countless rich daughters admired him incomparably and set him as the best candidate for a husband!

"If you marry, you should marry Ye Changying." This was the most familiar sentence in the Yan Jing socialite circle back then!

Back then, good women were sought after by hundreds of families, but who had ever seen the grand occasion of a good man being sought after by thousands of families?!

Back then, the number of big business figures who took the initiative to come to the Ye family, hoping to marry their daughters to Ye Changying, was countless!

Gu Yanzheng couldn't help but look back at the past. Ye Changying covered the edge of all his peers in Yan Jing with the light of one person!

At that time, everyone sighed in their hearts, why should they be born in the same era as Ye Changying? Ye Changying was like the bright moon in the night sky, who could compete with him?

Thinking of this, Gu Yanzheng could already conclude that Ye Chen was Ye Changying's son!

He thought of Ye Changying's heroic posture back then, and his heart was immediately filled with fear. He looked at Ye Chen, suddenly knelt on one knee, and blurted out with a face of submission, "Young Master Ye, please forgive me for my lack of eyes. I didn't see that you were actually Brother Changying's son!"

Although Gu Yangang hadn't spoken just now, seeing his second brother kneeling on one knee, he also immediately knelt down on one knee beside him.

Gu Weiliang and Gu Weiguang were both stunned. They were young and didn't know Ye Changying's glorious deeds back then. Seeing their father actually kneeling to Ye Chen, they were stunned.

Gu Weiguang immediately wanted to protest loudly, but was pulled by Gu Weiliang, who had a higher vision, and covered his mouth.

At this time, Gu Yanzheng, who was kneeling on one knee, was choking with sobs, sighing, "When I was young, I once made a great wish in my heart to bow to Changying for a lifetime! It's a pity that Brother Changying passed away young, so I didn't have the chance to learn from him. If I had the chance to learn a little bit from him back then, I wouldn't be so dull today..." ===== CHAPTER 789 =====
