Chapter 33: Zou Yitian's invitation
The Zou family held a grand banquet today. As a first-class wealthy family in Suhe City, although the Zou family is not comparable to the four major families of Suhe in terms of heritage, Mr. Zou has made him a well-deserved richest man in Suhe City by virtue of his own ability.
Today, the Zou family is full of friends.
Ye Cangtian walked among these gorgeously dressed upper-class people, looking so ordinary.
Recalling Su Ru's words just now, Ye Cangtian smiled faintly.
This girl, after all, still underestimated herself.
He has always regarded Su Ru as his sister, although Su Ru has a deep misunderstanding of Ye Cangtian, but he has never cared.
After all, she is Susan's sister, and Susan had a life-saving grace for Ye Cangtian back then, so no matter what Su Ru's attitude is, Ye Cangtian will not be angry.
In the five years since he disappeared, Ye Cangtian has already undergone a radical change, not just learned a skill. What's more, Ye Cangtian's mood has changed dramatically.
Since coming into contact with Immortal Cultivators, Ye Cangtian's views on all things in the world have suddenly become much more transcendent.
Fame, fortune, and power are just a passing thing.
In a hundred years of life, if you focus on such useless things, the limit is approaching, and you don't want to turn into a handful of loess.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian's current pursuit is immortality. He is a man who wants to become the heaven of China.
As a cultivator, Ye Cangtian knew that sooner or later he would stand on top of Huaxia and even the world.
Therefore, Ye Cangtian's temperament has also become much more detached. As for the children's private affairs, he looked at them a little more lightly.
If he had met a little beauty with outstanding appearance and temperament like Su Ru five years ago, Ye Cangtian would undoubtedly pursue her. However, now Ye Cangtian knows that Su Ru is not suitable for him at all.
Su Ru is more like the first love she met in her life, although this emotion is simple and beautiful, but it will end up without a problem.
That girl is not mature enough, and being by the side of someone like Ye Cangtian will only make her more and more painful and tormented.
Maybe one day, Ye Cangtian will also have true feelings for a woman, but he knows that this person must not be Su Ru, who is simple and angry.
Soon, Ye Cangtian also caught up with Susan and the others, and the four of them found a dining table and sat down.
Su Ru seemed to be still angry about Ye Cangtian's attitude just now. pouted, looking unhappy.
Lu Yu sat next to Su Ru, trying his best to please her. But Ye Cangtian still looked indifferent.
After a short time, the banquet officially began.
A middle-aged man spoke on behalf of the Zou family. Before the long opening speech was over, a man in a suit walked up to Susan and whispered a few words to Susan, and then stood by and waited.
After Susan finished talking with the man, she leaned into Ye Cangtian's ear and said.
"Xiaotian, the Zou family wants to see you. Go with this man. ”
Ye Cangtian frowned slightly.
"The Zou family wants to see me? Sister Susan, when you took me to a banquet today, she said he wanted to see me. Why is that? Ye Cangtian looked directly into Susan's eyes and continued: "If you don't tell me the truth, I won't go. ”
Susan said after a moment of silence.
"Five years ago, I saved you. It was instructed by Old Man Zou. Xiaotian, you can go with confidence, he will not be unfavorable to you. ”
"What? He asked you to save me in the first place? ”
Ye Cangtian finally understood why Susan had no relatives with him and would take the risk to save himself for no reason.
"I see." Ye Cangtian's face sank.
Susan hurriedly explained.
"Xiaotian, don't get me wrong. Sister Susan will not betray you, and she has no ill will towards you. ”
Ye Cangtian smiled faintly and said.
"Sister Susan, you misunderstood. I know you're good to me. ”
As he spoke, Ye Cangtian got up and followed the man in black towards the second floor.
On the way, Ye Cangtian pondered: "The man in black and the Black Wind team he met before should have been sent by the Zou family. What is the Zou family doing all this for? ’
After a short time, Ye Cangtian came to the second floor.
The man in the suit took him outside a study and motioned for him to enter.
Ye Cangtian pushed the door in.
The study is spacious and bright, with a wall full of books.
In the room, an old man in good spirits was sitting on a chair drinking tea with reading glasses and reading a book, looking very leisurely.
"You're here."
The old man didn't look up, but took a sip of tea and said to Ye Cangtian.
Ye Cangtian stood in place, did not answer, and looked at the old man vigilantly.
Inside, there was silence.
The atmosphere of dead silence was finally broken by the old man.
He seemed to finish reading the book, and placed a thick book neatly in the corner of the table before he spoke.
"Sit down, boy."
Ye Cangtian looked directly at the old man, and after a while, he walked to the sofa in silence and sat down slowly.
"Is there anything you're looking for me for?"
Zou Yitian did not answer Ye Cangtian's question directly, but asked.
"I heard that you have been very close to the Huo family and Wu Laosan recently?"
Ye Cangtian raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, this old man has been secretly monitoring his every move!
What is this man's purpose?
Seeing Ye Cangtian looking at him vigilantly, suddenly, the old man showed a faint smile.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm not your enemy."
"And who the hell are you?"
Hearing Ye Cangtian's words, Zou Yitian's old face seemed to be a few years older all of a sudden, and Ye Cangtian clearly saw a touch of sadness in the old man's eyes.
When Old Man Zou looked at Ye Cangtian again, there was still a bit of warmth in his eyes.
After a long time, the old man said in a hoarse voice.
"Your mother, Luo Yongmei, is my daughter."
"What?"
"That's right, she took her mother's last name."
Ye Cangtian finally understood, it turned out that the old man in front of him turned out to be his grandfather!
No wonder five years ago, he would send Susan to save him, and when he returned to Suhe City, he also sent someone to protect himself secretly!
But soon, Ye Cangtian was keenly aware that the warmth in the old man's eyes had faded.
Zou Yitian, who regained his majestic appearance, said with a bit of the arrogance of the superior.
"At the beginning, your mother insisted on marrying your father despite the family's opposition. Broke off from the Zou family. It stands to reason that I shouldn't have helped you, but ...... Before your grandmother died, the most reassuring thing was Yongmei. I couldn't do anything about what happened back then. So...... All of this is kind of compensation for you. ”
"I'm sorry, I don't need any compensation." Ye Cangtian's tone was very cold!
Ye Cangtian had heard about his mother being driven out by the family back then. For so many years, the Zou family has been indifferent and ruthless.
Now that my mother has been dead for five years, this person who claims to be his grandfather actually says that he wants to compensate himself?
Back then, when the Ye family had an accident, where were they?
It's been five years since my mother, and her bones are not cold, why didn't the Zou family take revenge?
The old man stared at Ye Cangtian for a moment and said slowly.
"You must hate me, why don't you avenge your mother? Actually, there's nothing I can do about the old man. That's it, let's not talk about the past. I have come to you today to advise you. ”
"What do you advise me?" Ye Cangtian looked at the old man with a smile. He didn't care about his mother's death, so Ye Cangtian didn't have any good feelings for this grandfather.
The old man stood up abruptly and said lightly.
"Boy, come with me."
Ye Cangtian followed the old man and walked onto the rooftop.
The night breeze was blowing, Ye Cangtian stopped five steps behind the old man, and stood in place without humility or arrogance.
"What are you asking me to do here?"
Zou Yitian's face was indifferent, and there was no half of gentleness on his face, but instead of a proud face, this is the style of the richest man in Suhe City!
Although Zou is old, his aura at this time is strong and energetic, and he is not inferior to any prime of life.
I saw the old man pointing to the distance.
"Boy, what do you see when you look down from here?"
Ye Cangtian let it go, it was a hill and a lake.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Ye Cangtian's tone was extremely calm.
Zou Yitian said lightly.
"This is the highest villa in Suhe City. Here, you can not only see mountains and lakes, but also overlook Suhe City. ”
Suddenly, the old man changed his words.
"Boy, you know. Only by standing on the top of Suhe City can you see such a scene! People, the higher you stand, the better the scenery and the farther you can see. He turned his head to look at Ye Cangtian, with a touch of contempt in his eyes.
"And you, boy. After all, your vision is too narrow, and your position is too low. Huo family? Wu Zihao? Follow this group, do you know that sooner or later, you will be eaten by them without any bones! ”
"I'm afraid it has nothing to do with you who I'm dealing with."
"Presumptuous!" Suddenly, Zou Lao was furious!
But soon, he regained his calmness and calmness, and it can be seen that Zou Lao's qi cultivation kung fu is enough to fight with Huo Zhenghong.
He said in his usual tone.
"I know you want revenge, but it's foolish that you chose to join that group! Rushing for quick success will only lead to your own destruction in the end! ”
Zou Yitian said proudly.
"Wu Zihao, even I, Zou Yitian, don't dare to provoke easily. That guy is a fanatic who doesn't have any bottom line. And Huo Zhenghong, that old fox, even I can't figure him out. If you mess with them, sooner or later you'll hurt yourself! ”
"Boy, I know you're a bit skilled. Even the people I sent are full of praise for you, but why do you have the ability to be on an equal footing with those big guys? You are nothing more than their thugs, their tools! ”
"Have you said enough?" Ye Cangtian's face was slightly gloomy.
