Although it is not the first time that Ye Ning and Ye Chengdong have met, it is definitely the first time they have sat face to face.

Although Chen Xian repeatedly emphasized on the phone that Ye Ning should go home early, he still waited until almost nine o'clock in the evening before returning to the teacher's village, which was a little too late in winter, but Ye Chengdong was still silently waiting for Ye Ning in the living room.

Chen Xian did not stay in the living room to interfere with the communication between the father and son, and persuaded her son in a low voice, and then went back to the room alone.

Ye Chengdong took out a box of soft China, took out two sticks, hesitated slightly, and handed one to Ye Ning.

Ye Ning didn't have any obstacles, so he naturally took the cigarette and lit it for Ye Chengdong to light it, and then turned around and sat on the sofa opposite.

Although it was just an insignificant small action, it eased the stiff atmosphere between the father and son a lot, Ye Chengdong's expression was obviously a lot easier, and his son was able to take the cigarette he handed over and help him light it, indicating that his attitude towards himself had improved a lot.

Turning around, he took a bottle of specially offered fifty-year-old Moutai from the wine cabinet, poured two glasses himself, and placed one of them in front of Ye Ning.

This is the wine he brought with him today.

With a sigh, Ye Chengdong picked up the cup with some anger and said, "I have worked hard for your mother and son all these years, I am sorry for you!" ”

Ye Ning could no longer maintain an indifferent look, Ye Chengdong did not make the slightest excuse, nor did he find a reason for himself, he directly poured wine for his son, apologized and admitted his mistake calmly, but inadvertently resolved the trace of resentment and grievances in Ye Ning's chest, and the pictures of the past twenty years slipped through his mind, and then turned into a light sigh.

Reaching out to pick up the wine glass, Ye Ning hesitated slightly, and finally spoke: "Dad, I don't want to see my mother sad." ”

A "Dad" touched the deepest softness in Ye Chengdong's heart, and unconsciously, two lines of hot tears gushed out, and he couldn't let himself lose his voice, Ye Chengdong trembled and poured a large glass of wine into his throat.

Ye Ning naturally felt Ye Chengdong's violent mood fluctuations, and his mood also stirred up in an instant, pouring the Moutai wine in the cup into his throat, and then took the wine bottle and refilled the cups of the two.

Ye Ning in the previous life, because he had no immortal roots, could not cultivate, according to the clan rules, he was to be directly abandoned, exiled to the world to fend for himself, although he was the only descendant of the head of the family, he still could not change such a fate, but his father fought for the position of the head of the family, and placed him in the family's Tibetan Pavilion, and it was in the Tibetan Pavilion that he came into contact with countless family classics and found his own way from them.

If he hadn't had that experience in the Tibetan Pavilion, he would have been left to fend for himself in the world, and he would never have had the opportunity to obtain the origin of the formation.

When he realized the origin and returned to the family, his father had not only lost the position of the head of the family because of him, but also suffered a setback in his cultivation because of this.

It is precisely because of this painful emotion that Ye Ning slowly changed his impression of Ye Chengdong after recovering his memory, he is still very eager to be protected by his father deep down, and after having the mature mentality of an adult, he can also put himself in the shoes of Ye Chengdong Some of Ye Chengdong's choices and practices back then, so Ye Ning does not have much resentment towards his father, but more grievances.

Two bottles of fifty-year-old Moutai were poured into his stomach, and Ye Chengdong was already drunk under the agitation, so naturally he couldn't talk about things.

The changes in the father and son made Chen Xian both sad and extremely happy, and after more than 20 years of waiting, she finally got the most perfect result today, and she was already satisfied.

In the morning, a family of three gathered around the dining table, and this was the first time the three of them had sat down to eat together. …,

Chen Xian also took advantage of this rare opportunity and asked Ye Ning, "Xiao Ning, have you thought about returning to Yanjing?" ”

She understands that this opportunity is very important to her son and husband, but she is unwilling to let her son do what he is unwilling to do, and she does not want Ye Chengdong to be embarrassed, in order to strive for Ye Ning to return to the Ye family, Ye Chengdong has also paid a considerable amount of effort and price, although the Ye family has shown signs of decline without successors, but not everyone is willing to let Ye Ning go back, after all, there are many descendants of the Ye family in this generation, not to mention the side lineage.

Although Ye Chengdong did not speak, the expectation in his eyes had completely revealed his thoughts, the old man's body was not as good as day by day, it was not easy to fight for this opportunity, he had to withstand endless pressure, if he couldn't take advantage of the old man's still existence to get Ye Ning's affairs done, even if Ye Ning returned to the Ye family in the future, his status would be very different.

This year's Spring Festival coincides with the old man's 70th birthday, and it was the old man who took the initiative to mention Ye Ning's matter, so Ye Chengdong attaches great importance to this opportunity.

Ye Ning didn't know these details, when Chen Xian said it before, he was diverted, last night the father and son drank two bottles of fifty-year-old Moutai, and the relationship was restored, but they didn't mention a word about the matter.

However, Ye Ning's own plan could not be missed, although his parents had a look of anticipation on their faces, he still shook his head: "Definitely not before the Spring Festival, I still have something to do." ”

Ye Chengdong sighed and said, "Just leave the work to the deputy, haven't you already straightened out the public security bureau?" It is not necessary to stick to your post, the important thing is to let your subordinates perform their duties, and you have not been to the party school for training since the first promotion, and the latest youth training class of the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee is after the Spring Festival, and you still have to leave temporarily. ”

Ye Ning didn't expect that his father actually knew everything about his mess in the Public Security Bureau, shook his head, and explained: "It's not a matter of work, it's very important in short." ”

Chen Xian thought crookedly: "Something to do with Xiao Yuan?" ”

Ye Ning froze when he heard this, but he didn't expect his mother to think of Yuan Ying, but he didn't want to have any misunderstanding, Yuan Ying was originally close to his mother, and he went to school twice in three days, so he quickly shook his head: "Mom, don't guess." ”

Ye Chengdong frowned imperceptibly, he was very concerned about his son's affairs, he naturally knew about Yuan Ying's existence, and he had discussed this topic with Chen Xian more than once, Yuan Ying's identity was even clearer, so he didn't agree with the relationship between the two, but he didn't mean to interfere, but now Ye Ning is going to return to the Ye family, and he must not be independent in marriage, so he hasn't had time to say this.

waved his hand and stopped Chen Xian's words, Ye Chengdong didn't want their mother and son to talk too much about Yuan Ying, so he diverted the topic and said: "Not a year ago, when will it be?" You don't have to think too much about it, it's simple. ”

Ye Ning was silent for a moment before saying, "Just turn over the New Year." ”

Ye Chengdong breathed a sigh of relief, nodded with a smile and said: "That's good, after the New Year, at the latest, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, you come to Yanjing, and your grandfather will celebrate his seventieth birthday on the eighth day of the first month." ”

It's just that Ye Ning's next sentence made Ye Chengdong and Chen Xian couldn't help but stiffen.

"I don't have a grandfather."

Ye Ning said lightly, as if it was a matter of course, and his tone was extremely natural.
