Chapter 999

Ye Chen returned to the room he shared with Xiao Churan, and then connected to Gu Qiuyi's video call, asking her, "Hello, Nannan."

"Brother Ye Chen!" In the video, Gu Qiuyi, wearing a home nightdress, waved excitedly at Ye Chen.

Gu Qiuyi in the video was not wearing makeup, and her long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She didn't have the aura of a top star, but looked more like a neighbor girl who was beautiful beyond words.

At this time, she asked happily in the video, "Brother Ye Chen, what are you busy with?"

Ye Chen smiled, "Not busy with anything. Isn't the New Year coming soon? I'm just preparing some New Year goods at home."

Gu Qiuyi smiled happily, "Hee hee, me too! This year we returned to the old house in Houhai for the New Year!"

As she said this, she switched the camera and took a picture of the surrounding environment. Sure enough, it was in the courtyard house of the Gu family.

Ye Chen couldn't help but ask, "Nannan, the area of your courtyard house is so large, is it a bit deserted for a family of three to spend the New Year?"

"No!" Gu Qiuyi smiled, "This year I'm spending the New Year with my second uncle and third uncle's families, a total of three big families, it's quite lively."

Ye Chen nodded, thinking of her second uncle and third uncle, and couldn't help but ask, "Nannan, how have your second uncle and third uncle been performing lately? They haven't caused any trouble for your family again, have they?"

Gu Qiuyi hurriedly said, "No, no! The two families of my second uncle and third uncle have had a very good attitude lately. They run to our house every few days, and every time they go, they bring large and small bags of various gifts!"

"Oh, by the way, returning to the old house for the New Year this year was also proposed by the two of them to my dad, saying that the family hasn't spent the New Year together happily for a long time, so they wanted to spend it together, and my dad agreed."

Ye Chen knew that Gu Qiuyi's second uncle Gu Yanzheng, third uncle Gu Yangang, and their sons were still in a state of loss of fertility. During this time, one could guess without thinking that they must be very honest.

After all, they were still counting on pleasing Gu Yanzhong's family and then getting his forgiveness.

Previously, they had already signed an agreement with Gu Yanzhong that they would follow the lead of Gu Yanzhong, the eldest brother, in everything in the future, so now they couldn't stir up any more waves.

So, Ye Chen said with satisfaction, "That's good. If these two uncles of yours still have bad intentions, you must tell me immediately."

Gu Qiuyi nodded hurriedly and said, "Brother Ye Chen, wait a moment, I'll go to my parents' room, they also have something to say to you!"

Ye Chen hurriedly instructed, "Wear more clothes, this dress looks like it's for summer, don't catch a cold."

Gu Qiuyi smiled sweetly, "I won't catch a cold, because the whole courtyard house is equipped with floor heating, the heat is sufficient, and the room is always around 28 degrees."

Ye Chen was relieved.

In his mind, Gu Qiuyi was not so much a fiancée with a marriage contract and an agreement made by her parents, but rather a little sister who had been clinging to his side since she was a child.

Therefore, Ye Chen was also particularly concerned about her.

Gu Qiuyi in the video ran all the way, passed through the large hall, and came to the room of Gu Yanzhong and Lin Wanqiu.

Gu Yanzhong was drinking tea and reading at the desk at this time, and Lin Wanqiu burned a stove of fine sandalwood incense and brought the incense burner to Gu Yanzhong's desk. Seeing Gu Qiuyi running in hurriedly at this time, she hurriedly instructed, "Nannan, be careful, don't fall!"

Gu Qiuyi said excitedly, "Mom, I'm on a video call with Brother Ye Chen!"

As soon as Gu Yanzhong heard the name Ye Chen, he immediately put down the book in his hand and asked excitedly, "You are on a video call with Chen'er? Hurry, hurry, let me say a few words to him!"

Gu Qiuyi hurriedly placed the mobile phone on the desk, with both the camera and the screen facing Gu Yanzhong.

Gu Yanzhong's complexion was very good at this time, and his whole state was also very young. Seeing Ye Chen in the video, he immediately smiled and said, "Chen'er! How have you been in Jin Ling lately?"

Ye Chen smiled, "Back to Uncle Gu, everything is quite good. How are you and Aunt Lin?"

"Good! We are very good!" Gu Yanzhong nodded repeatedly. At this time, Lin Wanqiu stood beside him, looked at Ye Chen on the screen, and said with a smile, "Chen'er, when are you coming to Yan Jing to spend a few days? Your Uncle Gu has been missing you especially lately, basically mentioning you several times every day, making my ears almost grow calluses."

Ye Chen smiled, "Uncle Gu, Aunt Lin, after I finish the things at hand, I will take time to go to Yan Jing to see you two."

Gu Qiuyi, who was standing on the other side of Gu Yanzhong, muttered dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by seeing you two? What about me? Don't you need to see me?"

Ye Chen hurriedly smiled, "See, of course I need to see. It was my slip of the tongue. When I have time, I will go back to see you and Uncle Gu and Aunt Lin! Are you satisfied now?"

Gu Qiuyi hummed proudly, "That's more like it!"

At this time, Gu Yanzhong said, "By the way, Chen'er, I heard that your aunt went to Jin Ling?"

"Yes." Ye Chen smiled slightly, "Uncle Gu, you've heard about it?"

Gu Yanzhong smiled and said, "Your grandfather called me this morning and told me about you and your aunt."

Ye Chen asked in surprise, "Does he know that I've met you?"

Gu Yanzhong shook his head, "He doesn't know yet, so he also thought I hadn't received your message, so he told me about you."

Ye Chen asked in confusion, "Why did he tell you these things?"

Gu Yanzhong smiled, "Looking at his meaning, it was mainly to tell me your news, and then asked me if I was still willing to fulfill the promise I made with your father back then, and let you and Nannan get married."

Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a bit awkward in his heart.

It seems that his grandfather's meaning is probably still wanting to get him back to the Ye family and then let him go and marry Gu Qiuyi.

At this time, Gu Yanzhong also saw Ye Chen's awkwardness and hurriedly said, "Chen'er, don't have any pressure about this matter. I just told your grandfather that I was willing to fulfill the promise, but I also said that this matter must respect the children's wishes."

As he said this, Gu Yanzhong added, "Chen'er, you should still follow your own rhythm. Since I said that our family would wait for you for three years, we will definitely wait for you for three years."

Ye Chen nodded lightly and said, "Uncle Gu, thank you for your understanding..."

Gu Yanzhong waved his hand and said, "Uncle Gu's life was saved by you, you don't have to be so polite with me."

Immediately, Gu Yanzhong added, "Oh, by the way, your grandfather also asked me to persuade you. After all, you and your aunt are family, don't be so angry, and don't hurt the harmony."

Ye Chen said, "Uncle Gu, my aunt is too overbearing, and my grandfather doesn't give her the necessary constraints. When she arrived in Jin Ling, she ordered me around, was bossy, and even went to my mother-in-law to talk about this and that. It was really too arrogant."

Gu Yanzhong nodded and said, "Your aunt is famous for being difficult to deal with in Yan Jing. I didn't expect you to have cured her when she went to Jin Ling."

Ye Chen said indifferently, "If she wasn't really too excessive, I wouldn't want to be as knowledgeable as her."

Gu Yanzhong smiled slightly and said, "Your grandfather also wants me to persuade you. If you have time, go back to the Ye family to take a look. After this Spring Festival, after the Lantern Festival, it will be March soon. He hopes you can go back during the Qingming Festival and join him in attending the ancestor worship ceremony held by the Ye family at Mount Ye Ling."

Ye Chen asked in surprise, "Hold an ancestor worship ceremony?"

"Yes." Gu Yanzhong said, "Your Ye family was originally supposed to hold an ancestor worship ceremony every twelve years. It just happens to be this year. Moreover, Mount Ye Ling has been developed for more than three years. It was only completed last spring. It was not until last autumn that the Ye family moved the ancestral graves there. So this year's Qingming Festival is also the first Qingming Festival since the Ye family's ancestral graves were moved to Mount Ye Ling."

"So your grandfather wants to hold a grand ancestor worship ceremony. At that time, not only your big family surnamed Ye, but also dozens of Ye branches across the country will go to participate. You are the eldest son and grandson of the Ye family. He hopes you can be present and take the opportunity to formally worship your parents."
