358 I'm afraid that Wanting is not as lucky as me
After pondering for a moment, Ye Yan said, "It's not that we didn't invite them, it's that they didn't want to come at all. β
Qin Sicheng opened his mouth, surprised.
What, why did the only grandson suffer such treatment? The Cao family is a hundred-year-old family in City B, and most of the century-old households like this are traditional feudal, and the only grandson is regarded as a treasure in the palm of his hand, right? Why is Cao so exceptional?
Qin Sicheng was puzzled, but she didn't ask, looking at Ye Yan's expression, she knew that he would definitely give her an answer. Sure enough, Ye Yan leaned back on the back of the chair behind him and told the truth.
It turned out that the Cao family was a century-old family in City B, and now the head of the family, Cao Weiguo, is ninety-three years old and is Ye Yan's grandfather.
Speaking of his grandfather, he was a veteran of the motherland, he was the commander of the X Army when he was young, and even participated in the Korean War, so it can be said that he has lived a military career for half his life.
Most of his siblings are also in politics, and his younger brother has served as the secretary of the municipal party committee in J City for many years, and even though he is now retired, there is an endless stream of people who come and go in and out of the house every day. He also has a sister who is a soldier like him, and is one of the most famous women major generals in the country.
Such a person is naturally respected, and when he was young, he was also a talent, and even in old age, he always straightened his waist, which is probably related to the habits he has developed in his many years of military career.
Ye Yan admired his grandfather as a bloody man who stood up to the sky, but at the same time, he also had a characteristic that Ye Yan regarded as a fatal flaw - hegemonism.
He is strong, dominant, arbitrary, and authoritarian, even in the matter of being in charge of the family, he wants the kind of system that is absolutely strong and strict.
It's a pity that although Cao Weiguo has been married twice, he only has a son and two daughters, and now in addition to Cao Shuangshuang, who is still in his forties, Cao Weilun's father has died many years ago, and the eldest daughter also died of illness more than ten years ago.
originally wanted to prosper the family, and even wanted his children to follow the path he had walked in the way he specified, but the eldest son was unwilling to join the army or politics, but he was only interested in business, so he ran away from home early to study abroad, and gave birth to Ye Yan's father Cao Weilun.
Cao Weiguo was hard-hearted, although he regretted forcing his eldest son away, and resolutely refused to accept him to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, even if Cao Weilun later gave birth to Ye Yan and Wanting, and wanted to take them both to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, Cao Weiguo still did not let go.
"So that's ......" Qin Sicheng was quite emotional when he heard this, nodded and sighed, "It sounds like this, your grandfather is indeed too hard-hearted." However, he made a special trip to pick up Wanting back this time, he should have changed his mind, right? β
Ye Yan nodded: "Well, after all, people are old, and if they don't look back on some things, I'm afraid it's too late, I think grandpa he also thinks that he will die soon, so he changed his mind and is willing to accept us." β
Regarding Ye Yan's speculation, Qin Sicheng nodded and agreed.
"Yes, he's also his great-grandson, he should actually want to see you and Wanting before he dies." After a pause, Qin Sicheng frowned again and asked, "By the way, I heard that you don't still have an uncle?" Does he have no children? β
Ye Yan shook his head and explained: "That is the son born to my eldest aunt, and my aunt and grandfather are rich, so my uncle took my eldest aunt's surname and named it Weiye." It also happened that the uncle was also married twice, and had no children with his previous wife, and when he remarried his second wife, the eldest aunt brought a son, and later gave birth to a daughter with my uncle. β
After listening to Qin Sicheng's words, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded: "No wonder, no wonder you say that you are the only grandson of the Cao family...... I didn't expect the relationship in your ancestral family to be so complicated. β
Ye Yan pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows slightly: "What, regret it?" β
She frowned and patted his arm with a gesture: "What do you say! I think it's incredible, but fortunately you didn't grow up in Mayor B, and when I first met you, I felt that your personality was already difficult to get along with, and if you grew up in City B and grew up in that atmosphere, I'm afraid ...... It's harder to get along with. β
"That's right." Ye Yan chuckled lightly and didn't deny it, but his face quickly darkened, "I'm afraid that Wanting is not as lucky as me." β
Qin Sicheng asked puzzledly, "Why do you say that?" β
Ye Yan's face was calm, and he analyzed unhurriedly: "Although she is a girl, but in general, she is now the only great-grandson of the entire Cao family who is not married, do you think that a hegemon like my grandfather will let go of this last chance?" β
Qin Sicheng was surprised: "Wait! What do you mean...... Your grandfather asked Wanting to go back to arrange a marriage for her? However, Wanting is obviously engaged to Brother Rong! β
Ye Yan pursed his thin lips and frowned: "I think, Grandpa will definitely have his own means to solve this problem." β
"......" Qin Sicheng was stunned, and he didn't have the heart to eat breakfast.
Is this worth it? Seeing that Wanting and Brother Rong have not made any progress, and now they are killing a hegemonic grandfather for no reason, how can the two of them achieve positive results?
No way! I have to tell Brother SΓΉ Rong to go!
said that it was too late, Qin Sicheng didn't even eat breakfast, and hurriedly sent an email to Rong Ye, telling him the situation of the Cao family in City B and the news that Wanting was about to return to City B.
The moment she turned off the computer, she still clasped her hands together and prayed: Heaven and earth, bless my eldest brother and sister-in-law Wanting to have further development and achieve positive results as soon as possible......
======
Early the next morning, Yunhai City, Splendid Yunding Apartment.
Liang Sheng took the elevator to the top floor, took out the key to open the door, pushed the door in, and turned on the light.
Suddenly, a strong smell of alcohol came to his nose, and under the orange light, the sleeping face and disheveled clothes of the man on the sofa were slightly frowned, indicating that he had not woken up from a hangover.
Liang Sheng put the two sets of keys on the coffee table, and the mobile phone in his pocket rang at this time, he glanced at the man on the sofa, and did not shy away from it, standing in place and pressing the answer button directly: "Hey, father-in-law...... Yes, he was in the apartment...... Okay, I'll take him to the villa in a moment. β
Hearing the sound of talking in a daze, Rong Ye frowned unhappily, opened his eyes, and found that Liang Sheng was standing not far in front of him, with his hands in his pockets, looking at him with interest.
"It's really rare that you would be so drunk? Honestly, what did you do last night? Liang Sheng asked.
Rong Ye frowned and sat up, and asked instead of answering, "When did you come in?" β
Liang Sheng strode to the window and opened the curtains, "Just now." β
Rong Ye raised his hand and rubbed his temples, and then he explained weakly: "Last night, an old classmate was going to get married, and he asked me to participate in the last single night party. β
When he put down his hand, his eyes inadvertently swept over the two sets of keys on the coffee table, one was the spare key to his apartment, which he had lent to Liang Sheng several times before, and the other set of keys was very unfamiliar.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was a little surprised: "The new address has been found?" β
"Well, it's not far from the Twin Lakes District." After a slight pause, Liang Sheng looked at him sideways, his eyes were not profound, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, "It's all according to your meaning, the air is good, the scenery is good, the sun is abundant, and most importantly, it is very close to the Cao family." β
Rong Ye glanced at him and snorted coldly: "Okay, you go, I'll take a look for myself later." β
As he took off his shirt and walked in the direction of the bathroom, his broad back and lean waist and abdomen were exposed, his muscles were well-trimmed, and his abdominal muscles were obvious, and he entered the bathroom with vigorous steps and closed the door.
The moment the door was closed, Liang Sheng chuckled and whistled: "By the way, when are you going to move over?" β
"I'll take care of it myself."
"Oh, you're given a time, and I'm waiting for you to vacate the apartment."
With a click, the bathroom door was opened again, and Rong Ye poked out half of his head from inside: "My sister also has the key here, aren't you afraid of bumping into her one day?" β
Liang Sheng was stunned, and after two seconds, he laughed dryly: "She won't move in with you?" β
Rong Ye closed the door again, and his muffled voice came from the bathroom: "I don't know, but Dad has already disposed of her dormitory, now it depends on whether she will live with me or move to this apartment after returning to Yunhai." β
Liang Sheng didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something.
When Rong Ye came out of the shower, there was no trace of Liang Sheng, he turned his head to look at the keys on the coffee table, the two sets of keys were still lying there, and a clear smile escaped from the corners of Rong Ye's mouth.
Freshly refreshed, he changed into a clean white shirt and casual trousers, brewed an Americano, and sat down by the wide floor-to-ceiling window.
Holding an iPad in his hand, he opened it as usual, and typed in the news of the morning, when the bottom right corner suddenly flashed to show that he had a new email.
He clicked on it casually, revealing that the email was from Los Angeles, Meiguo, and the corners of Rong Ye's mouth opened again.
However, after a few seconds, the smile on his lips suddenly froze.
The next second, he didn't even have time to change his coat and clothes, he went back to the bedroom to pick up the car keys and ran to the door, but he didn't run far and walked back, opened the bedside table and changed to another car key.
Hurried to the parking lot, clicked the unlock button on the car key before entering, and then the KoenigseggCCXR sports car in the corner "beeped" twice.
He immediately jumped into the car, expertly lowered the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator, and the car smacked off with a thud.
The car rushed to Ye's house at a very fast speed, and the housekeeper Lao Zhao was a little surprised when he saw him hurrying over wearing only a thin white shirt and casual trousers: "Oh, Young Master Rong, I thought you already knew, Miss She and her husband took a plane to City B today." β
"When did you leave?"
"It's been an hour, Madame's ...... to see him off" Before Lao Zhao finished speaking, a gust of wind swept in front of him, and when he came back to his senses, Rong Ye was gone.
