19. Blood is thicker than water
That night, Shen Ye stayed at the island house, and Ye Mei arranged a room for him, the room was not luxurious, but Shen Ye had a sense of dΓ©jΓ vu, with an aura of a long time ago.
"That's how the room was set up when you were a baby." Ye Mei said to him, "Of course it was a crib at that time. She smiled and pointed to a large bed in the center.
Shen Ye looked over and saw that there were many colorful stars painted on the ceiling, the walls were calming blue, there were some small airplanes hanging in front of the bed, some small toys were placed on the bedside table, a big cloth bear was placed next to the pillow, and on the high and low cabinets was an oil painting of the mother holding her happy smile.
At that time, he was less than a year old, but some vague memories made him smell some of the smells of the past, and he saw his mother and father playing around the crib in a trance, and his heart was slightly sad.
"This was Tingting's crib back then." Ye Mei pointed to the position next to him that had been replaced by a computer desk, "At that time, if one of you two cries, the other will cry, like a game." β
Shen Ye smiled: "I don't remember at all. β
", you were only a few months old then." Ye Mei said: "I informed Tingting that you appeared, she knew that she had a brother who was happy, if it wasn't for her studies, she would have come back to see you at that time." β
"I'm looking forward to meeting her too."
"If you still lack anything, tell Aunt Mei." She clapped her hands, and an old servant in white walked in and saluted Aunt Mei: "What does the wife command?" β
Ye Mei introduced to him, "This is Qi Wei, the housekeeper of the family, you can find him for anything, he has followed your father for many years, and knows more about him than I do, you can also talk to him." β
"Uncle Qi is good." Shen Ye saluted him.
"Hello young master." Uncle Qi is a kind old man, a typical loyal servant, "You have always been happy to come back this time, the second wife." I hope you can stay at home for a few more days. β
"Yes. I'm going to trouble Uncle Qi in the future. β
"Where, it is my honor to serve the young master."
Ye Mei said to Uncle Qi: "Uncle Qi, arrange a tour bus, Xiao Ye and I will go out for a walk." β
"Yes."
Soon, on an open-top tour bus, Ye Mei took Shen Ye to drive all the way on the ring road, although it is only a small island of 12 square kilometers, the road is built in all directions, you can reach every corner of the island, and integrate with nature, it does not affect the island environment at all, but it is more beautiful, and the whole design can be described as unique.
"Aunt Mei, what is that?" Shen Ye saw that there were some antennas with a very complex structure on the top of the mountain, surrounded by many metal spires, surrounded by dense forests.
"Detection radar." Ye Mei got out of the car and walked towards the mountainside, "This is what you need to know about your family first." She pressed it on her watch.
"Woo-" I saw that the rocks at the top of the mountain automatically cracked, revealing a row of weapons.
"Wow!" Shen Ye was surprised, this was actually a row of surface-to-air missiles. At the same time, high machine guns are exposed on the beach, woods and mountainsides, and the machine gun turret rotates 36o degrees to form a crossfire network, leaving no dead spots.
Ye Mei said: "In addition to these, there is also an underground weapons depot in the underground of the airport on the island, which contains all kinds of weapons and a helicopter gunship, a high-speed boat used for escape in an emergency, a seaplane and an underground shelter up to fifteen meters deep, all of which are fully automated, and the security system on the entire island only needs seven people from use to maintenance." β
Shen Ye gasped, "I feel like I've arrived at Base 51. β
Ye Mei smiled, "All the security measures are designed by Lin Huang, your father has never taken security issues lightly, and the anti-jamming system and electronic warfare equipment alone cost 300 million US dollars, and spent nearly 100 million US dollars to configure the central control system with the same configuration as the Oak Ridge national defense special computer in the United States." The entire island was defended enough to withstand the attack of a medium-sized fleet of a military power, and the storage of survival resources was enough for fifty people to live for ten years. β
"Oh my God!" Shen Ye didn't know what to say, this was simply an independent kingdom.
Ye Mei made a gesture, all the weapons were put back, and she couldn't see the previous killing formation at all, Ye Mei said: "Xiao Ye, if you want to bring any friends to the house to play in the future, remember to say it in advance, to prevent bad people from mixing in, the whole family and the servants have a total of fifteen people, these people are trustworthy, but the heart of defense is indispensable, always remember that you, me, and Tingting are the real family." β
Shen Ye nodded and asked, "I see that our family has a lot of maintenance fees for a year, right?" Is Tianba's income enough? "He used to think that he was the prince of Tianba, and he still thought that he was a rich man, but now when he sees such a big formation, he is worried that he will not be able to make ends meet.
Ye Mei smiled, "The basic construction that should be done at home has been done, and the maintenance is enough for about 100 million US dollars a year, Tianba is in a stable period, and the income is stable, and I also have some other investment projects that also have some income, you don't have to worry about money." β
Shen Ye said: "I suddenly realized why rich people are getting richer and richer, just like these expenses will force you to earn more money." β
"Therefore, making money is like seeking knowledge, and if you don't advance, you will retreat." When Ye Mei spoke, the two came to a green lawn, where Uncle Qi had been waiting early, and a small pavilion was erected on the quiet meadow, where exquisite drinks were placed.
"Madam, young master, please take a seat." Uncle Qi settled the seats for the two.
"Thank you." Shen Ye thanked him, but Ye Mei took it for granted, Shen Ye felt a difference from this subtle difference, at least now he can't do it like Ye Mei to recognize himself as a master.
Sun, beach, grass, breeze...... Here, Shen Ye enjoyed this kind of tranquility and abundance, and he suddenly realized that in fact, people work hard to earn money just to enjoy these scenery and have a comfortable and relaxed feeling, and do not have to worry about life. He vaguely remembered which book said: Those who earn money for survival are poor, those who earn money for self-esteem are those who have small money, and those who earn money for enjoyment are rich.
"Aunt Mei, do you like this kind of life?"
Ye Mei asked, "What kind?" β
"Like that, do you think there's going to be something missing?"
She sighed slightly, "It would be perfect if your father was there." β
"What if my mother is too?"
She smiled: "It's perfect, but there are small flaws, women are always selfish and always want to have it alone." But if that's what I'm content with, I'm not a perfectionist. β
Shen Ye asked, "If you were to exchange this qiΔ for my father and mother to come back, would you?" β
"I will!" Ye Mei said without hesitation, "Just earn it when the money is gone." But the loved ones are gone...... It's really gone. She picked up the red wine on the table and drank it down.
"That'...... Aunt Mei, have you ever thought about finding another partner? β
She glanced at him, and suddenly smiled, "Silly boy, I really don't know if you are kind or stupid, don't you think about yourself at all?" β
"Consider what?"
"Haven't you thought about it? If I find another man, if others are good, it will be fine, once there is any problem, it will be a disaster for you and Tingting. β
"I understand that wealthy families may have some changes due to the intervention of outsiders, I just want you to know that I want you to be happy, and I don't care about having a lot of money."
"You and Tingting are both kind children, but this is also what worries me the most, you are still young, and it will take some time to understand that people are sinister." Ye Mei looked at him with deep and frozen eyes, "Shen Ye, do you think we are already relatives?" β
Shen Ye was silent.
"That's right." Ye Mei said: "Actually, you're not sure, it's all my words, how do you know if what I said is true or false, you can't even be sure if I'm your real aunt." β
"Nope! I'm sure of it! "Shen Ye is categorical.
"Why?"
"Intuition."
She laughed, "It's ridiculous. β
"I know you'll laugh at me for being naΓ―ve." Shen Ye said: "But think about it, I went from a penniless nobody to such a big scene, what can I trust except intuition?" β
Ye Mei, who was holding a wine to drink, stopped, and she looked at Shen Ye for a long time without saying a word.
"I don't know how to express my feelings, in fact, I'm very excited, maybe you don't know, I hate ordinariness, I hate being in the market, living a life that I have to live, so, no matter what I have to face in the future, I just want to say, as long as I don't let my life be ordinary, bland, boring, I am ready to face it. So, I really don't care if what you say is true or false, what I care about is that I have relatives, and there is a miracle in fate, my dad said that ordinary is a blessing, but I want to say, I don't want this kind of blessing. He's my father, but he can't make decisions for me. β
"Xiaoye." She held his hand, "What do you want to express?" β
"I just want to say thank you." He smiled, "Aunt Mei, I don't know if I'm greedy for money in my bones, but I know that because of you, I can live a different life than before, and I'm really happy." You can call me naΓ―ve, but I can honestly say that I look at you like I see my mother. β
Ye Mei's eyes were red, she stretched out her arms and hugged him in her arms, "Xiao Ye, I really miss them, your parents ......"
"Aunt Mei......" He choked up and couldn't speak, and hugged her back.
Heaven and earth were now extraordinarily quiet, and the wind was blowing against their garments. Ye Mei gently wiped away his tears, she didn't say anything, she didn't need to say anything, she knew that she underestimated the young man in her arms, he knew more than she imagined, she said with relief: "Xiao Ye, I dare to believe that you will become your father's person in the future." β
"I'll do my best!" He nodded vigorously.
At this time, Uncle Qi quietly came to a short distance and said, "Madam, Mr. Liu is here." β
Ye Mei let go of him and said, "I almost forgot, I have to introduce you to someone, and you will often deal with him in the future." β
"Who?"
"The current CEO of Tianba Group - Liu Jin."
