Chapter 818: Love Me, Love My Dog
As soon as the old master said this, the whole room let out an exclamation!
Changying's son—wasn't that talking about Ye Chen?
In fact, as early as when the old master had Tang Sihai buy the Dihao Group and send it to Ye Chen in Jin Ling, asking Ye Chen to return to the family, everyone already knew the news that Ye Chen was still alive.
Except for the old master, everyone else was very wary of Ye Chen, even extremely repulsed in their hearts, fearing that he would return to Yan Jing and compete with them for the Ye family's wealth and power.
Fortunately, Ye Chen had refused Tang Sihai's request back then and did not return to the Ye family, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief and slowly relaxed their guard.
However, even if Ye Chen didn't come back, everyone felt extremely dissatisfied with the old master's lavish spending of a hundred billion to give him the Dihao Group.
The Ye family's assets exceeded a trillion, but after all, there were many people.
Ye Chen's grandfather had four sons and two daughters.
Except for the second son, Ye Changying, who died young back then, the other three sons had a total of seven grandsons and six granddaughters.
Although the two daughters were married, they also held important positions in the Ye family's financial empire, so in such a situation with many descendants, even if it were distributed equally, it would be impossible to reach the level of a hundred billion per person.
Therefore, Ye Chen getting the Dihao Group all by himself indeed made many Ye family members very jealous.
At the time, many people also jointly opposed and strongly protested the old master's biased approach.
But the old master overcame all opposition, insisting on doing so on the grounds that the Ye family owed Ye Changying's family too much.
Although everyone was ten thousand times dissatisfied in their hearts, fortunately, Ye Chen did not intend to return to Yan Jing to compete with them for more family property, so everyone reluctantly accepted all of this.
In everyone's view, letting Ye Chen be a vassal king outside like this was actually quite good; at least it wouldn't affect them competing for the position of the head of the Ye family.
However, the old master now actually wanted Ye Chen to come back, and even wanted him to marry into the Su family. To them, wasn't this inviting a wolf into the house?
Consequently, the Ye family's eldest son, Ye Changkong, blurted out, "Dad! Changying's son has been wandering outside for so many years; he hasn't received high-end education, hasn't experienced the family's training and tempering, and is completely a wild brute. Letting him marry into the Su family, wouldn't that make people laugh their heads off? Besides, I remember that he has already started a family in Jin Ling!"
"That's right, Dad!" The third son, Ye Changyun, also hurriedly said, "Which one of our Ye family's direct descendants hasn't studied in the country's top private schools from kindergarten to high school? Which one hasn't pursued advanced studies in top overseas universities? Which one hasn't received the top education combining Chinese and Western cultures since childhood? Not only learning knowledge, business, and management, but also learning multiple languages, aristocratic equestrianism, and golf. My second brother's son grew up in a welfare home since childhood and hasn't even been to college. With such goods, how could the Su family's eldest daughter look down on him?"
Others also echoed in agreement one after another.
Tang Sihai said expressionlessly at this time, "Young Master Chen has been to college, just not for the full four years. Moreover, I have had some contact with Young Master Chen, and in my opinion, Young Master Chen has quite the demeanor and spirit of the Second Master back then; he is definitely a dragon among men!"
The Ye family's eldest grandson, Ye Feng, shouted sternly, "You surnamed Tang, this is no place for you to speak. Don't you see who is around you? We are all surnamed Ye! You, a family servant with an outside surname, what are you spouting here?"
Tang Sihai said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Although I am not surnamed Ye, my life was given by the Second Master, so I swore long ago that this life would belong to the Ye family in the future. Therefore, every word I say is with a clear conscience!"
Ye Hao said coldly, "Do you think we don't know you? You are not loyal to the Ye family at all; you are loyal to my second uncle, which is why you tried every possible way to hide Ye Chen, and tried every possible way to fool grandfather into buying him a Dihao Group. Do you still want to fool grandfather into bringing him back to Yan Jing now? I think your selfish motive is actually to help Ye Chen seize the position of the head of the Ye family, right?!"
As soon as this was said, everyone's expression changed!
Even the old master could not help but be dumbfounded.
Tang Sihai said coldly at this time, "I have never thought about letting Young Master Chen come back; I am just objectively telling you that today's Young Master Chen is not inferior to the Ye Second Master who was a whirlwind in Yan Jing back then! As for the marriage, it was proposed by the old master, not by me!"
"Besides, you don't need to be afraid here. Young Master Chen doesn't want to come back at all. Based on my understanding of him, even if I knelt on the ground and begged him, he wouldn't come back, let alone abandon his wife to marry into the Su family!"
When everyone heard this, they felt relieved in their hearts instead.
Wouldn't come back?
If he wouldn't come back, that couldn't be better!
Old Master Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.
After pondering for a long time, he said seriously, "Actually, I think that if Chen'er comes back, it's hard to say if he could really successfully marry into the Su family."
"How is that possible." Ye Changkong blurted out, "The Su family is arrogant. Even Xiao Feng, such an outstanding eldest grandson of the Ye family, might not necessarily succeed. Why should he, a crude person who has been wandering outside for many years, make the Su family look at him with admiration?!"
The old master looked at Ye Changkong coldly and chuckled.
Ye Changkong felt his whole body tremble under the old master's gaze, feeling as if the old master had seen through his thoughts all at once.
The old master understood very well that the reason Ye Changkong was belittling Ye Chen here was actually because he was afraid that Ye Chen would really come back, and even more afraid that Ye Chen would really agree to marry into the Su family.
Because of fear, he belittled him.
It looked like there were reasons and evidence, but it was actually just covering up the panic in his heart.
Others also echoed one after another at this time. Everyone's reasons were very simple, nothing more than that Ye Chen's growth environment was humble and he couldn't be worthy of the Su family's eldest daughter.
Ye Changyun said with a mocking face, "Dad, although Ye Chen is my second brother's son, he has been what young people call a loser for so many years. How can a loser be compared to a heaven-sent daughter like Su Zhiyu?"
Seeing that everyone was opposed, the old master snorted coldly and said, "Do you know that back then, Su Zhiyu's mother, the Su family's eldest daughter-in-law, was willing to die for Changying? She pursued Changying for many years back then; as long as Changying nodded, she would have been the Ye family's second daughter-in-law. To this day, she still goes to Changying's grave to pay her respects every year. Can you understand this principle of 'love me, love my dog'?"
With one sentence, the whole room was in an uproar!
Only then did Ye Changkong remember those past events.
The Ye Changying of that time was truly an existence that surpassed all heroes in the entire Yan Jing.
Countless wealthy daughters dreamed of marrying him, even if it meant being his mistress.
Among them was Su Zhiyu's mother, the Su family's eldest daughter-in-law.
Back then, countless men were deathly jealous of Ye Changying, including him, the eldest brother.
If it were really as the old master said, that Su Zhiyu's mother loved him, then the matter between Ye Chen and Su Zhiyu might actually have a few possibilities... ===== CHAPTER 819 =====
