Chapter 819: It

Just as the Ye family members were all harboring their own ulterior motives, each thinking about what reason to use to persuade the old master to give up this idea.

The old master slapped the table and said excitedly, "I think as long as Chen'er nods, the success rate is very high!"

Ye Changkong hurriedly said, "Dad, Chen'er is already married! Do you think it's possible for the Su family to marry their eldest granddaughter, who is like the apple of their eye, to a man who has been married? Even if Chen'er gets a divorce, that's still a second marriage!"

Old Master Ye said indifferently, "As long as the charm is great enough, what does it matter if it's a third marriage, or what does it matter if he doesn't get a divorce? Do you know how many wealthy daughters in Yan Jing back then were willing to be Changying's mistress? Even if they had no status, they had no complaints. This is Changying's charm!"

Ye Changkong wrung his hands and said, "Dad! The times are different! Young people today advocate for themselves; how could they be willing to wrong themselves?"

Old Master Ye said coldly, "Whether they are willing or not is not up to you, nor is it up to me; it's up to the facts! How do you know it won't work without trying?!"

After saying that, he immediately said to Tang Sihai, "Sihai, go to Jin Ling as soon as possible, meet Chen'er, and talk to him about this matter properly."

Tang Sihai said seriously, "Old Master, I don't think Young Master Chen will agree."

"Why?" Old Master Ye frowned and pointed to the other Ye family descendants, asking, "They don't want Chen'er to come back, and you don't want him to either?"

Tang Sihai hurriedly explained, "Old Master, you misunderstood. Sihai hopes day and night that Young Master Chen can return to the Ye family, but based on Sihai's understanding of Young Master Chen, it is indeed impossible for him to agree to marry into the Su family. Not to mention that he already has a wife, and he is very devoted to his current wife. Just talking about the marriage, don't forget that he has always had an engagement with the Gu family's eldest daughter. That was the order of his parents and the words of the matchmaker. Even if Young Master Chen considers Miss Gu Qiuyi of the Gu family, he won't consider Su Zhiyu of the Su family!"

"Holy..."

Only then did everyone think of a fact that they had ignored for many years.

As early as Ye Chen's childhood, he already had an engagement with the Gu family's eldest daughter, the current big star Gu Qiuyi!

Old Master Ye suddenly had a flash of light in his eyes and said excitedly, "Oh! I was dull! It turns out the opportunity for the old physiognomist to soar into the sky lies with Chen'er!"

Others looked at Old Master Ye one after another, not knowing why he suddenly said this.

Old Master Ye sighed at this time, "The Gu family's strength is much, much weaker than the Su family's, but the Gu family has few people! Gu Yanzhong alone has 25.5% of the shares of the Gu Group! This is not counting his other assets; adding these up, I'm afraid it's at the trillion level, and even if it's not, it's infinitely close. The most perfect thing is that he only has one daughter. In the future, everything he has will be his daughter's. In other words, it will all be his son-in-law's!"

Everyone was jealous to death in their hearts.

Is it true or false?

Ye Chen has been wandering outside for so many years, and he actually still carries an engagement with the Gu family's eldest daughter?!

This is too enviable, isn't it?!

At this moment, the old master stood up excitedly and said to Tang Sihai, "Sihai, I'll give you a task. I don't care what method you use; within half a year, you must make Chen'er divorce that woman in Jin Ling and return to the family!"

Tang Sihai nodded, "Old Master, I will definitely go all out."

The other Ye family members were all extremely troubled.

According to this trend, it seems the old master is determined to bring Ye Chen back.

And once Ye Chen comes back, he is very likely to become the Gu family's son-in-law, and also very likely to become the Su family's son-in-law.

By then, he would become someone in the Ye family who could truly handle both sides.

For the other cousins, this is an unacceptable situation!

For a time, everyone began to think desperately about countermeasures in their hearts.

Old Master Ye's mood suddenly cleared up; he had already determined that the opportunity for the Ye family to soar that the old physiognomist Lai Qinghua spoke of lay with Ye Chen.

This solved the doubt that had troubled him for four years, putting him in a great mood.

So, he laughed, stood up, and said loudly, "Alright, that's all for today, meeting adjourned!"

Everyone's expressions were a bit strange, but no one dared to say any words of opposition. However, everyone was harboring their own ulterior motives; the vast majority of them would rather die than see Ye Chen return to the Ye family in a high-profile manner.

After the meeting, Tang Sihai returned to his office. Just as he sat down in his seat, he received a call from Ye Chen.

His heart was filled with joy, and he hurriedly answered the phone, asking respectfully, "Young Master, what made you think of calling me?"

Ye Chen asked, "Steward Tang, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

"It is." Tang Sihai hurriedly said, "I am in my own office; it is very safe here, and the security measures are also very good. You can say whatever you want."

Ye Chen gave a hum and said indifferently, "I am in Yan Jing and want to see you. Do you have time?"

Tang Sihai asked in surprise, "Young Master, you came to Yan Jing? When did this happen?"

Ye Chen said, "I've been here for two days, came to handle some things, and plan to go back tomorrow. I wanted to see you before I left."

Tang Sihai immediately said, "No problem, Young Master. Please move to the Guangyuan Tea House in the Huguang Guild Hall; that is my property."

Ye Chen said, "Alright, then I'll go over now."

Tang Sihai hurriedly said, "I will set off immediately too!"

The Huguang Guild Hall was a building from the Qing Dynasty, used back then to entertain scholars from the Huguang region who came to the capital for the imperial examinations. It was somewhat similar to a resident office of Huguang in Yan Jing during the Qing Dynasty. Later, it gradually developed and became a good place for old Yan Jing residents to listen to folk art and taste tea art.

Tang Sihai invested in a tea house in the Huguang Guild Hall. This tea house was antique and had quite a charm. Tang Sihai often came here to rest or entertain friends on weekdays.

With Tang Sihai's current status as the Ye family's head steward, he could be considered a figure in Yan Jing. Except for the top few major families, the heads of other families also had to be respectful in front of him, so his tea house business was very good, and many people with status liked to come to support it.

When Ye Chen arrived at the Huguang Guild Hall, Tang Sihai had already arrived one step ahead of him.

He greeted him at the door in person. Seeing that Ye Chen had come with a woman wearing a mask, he was dumbfounded.

Tang Sihai had been deeply involved in Yan Jing for many years and had extraordinary insight into many things. He almost saw at a glance that this woman wearing a mask who came with Ye Chen was the Gu family's eldest daughter, Gu Qiuyi.

At this moment, Tang Sihai was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Young Master, Miss Gu, how did you two meet up?"

Gu Qiuyi chuckled and said, "Uncle Tang, I've dressed up like this, and I still can't hide it from you!"

Tang Sihai laughed, "Miss Gu has an extraordinary temperament; how could a mask cover it up?"

After saying that, Tang Sihai hurriedly added, "Young Master, Miss Gu, it's not convenient to talk here. Please move to the backyard with me!" ===== CHAPTER 820 =====
