When Chen Ye returned to the alley where the courtyard was located, the intelligence officers of the major forces were still at the intersection of the alley and did not leave.

After they saw Chen Ye, they were all shocked!

Because, before this, they had all learned that Chen Ye went to Babaoshan Cemetery to sweep Chen Xiurui's grave, but was stopped by Chen's family, and the two sides had disputes and conflicts.

Later, Tiangu, the leader of the Shouxia organization, arrived by helicopter to clean up Chen Ye, and the two left the Babaoshan Cemetery, and it was suspected that there was a big battle.

This news was spread by the Chen family on their own initiative, with the purpose of reaching Zhao Tuzhi's ears, and it was learned by the major forces as soon as possible.

Didn't you say that Tiangu, the leader of the Shouxia Organization, personally went to clean up Chen Ye?

Why doesn't Chen Ye seem to have anything at all?

After the shock, the intelligence officers of the major forces were full of doubts when they saw Chen Ye's unscathed appearance.

There is no answer.

They took out their mobile phones one after another to report to the top that Chen Ye had returned to the courtyard safe and sound.

And Chen Ye ignored the intelligence officers of the major forces and walked directly into the courtyard.

In the courtyard.

Wang Long, Qiao Donglai and Lin Xianzhi were in the living room, chatting with Fang Lan and Qin Miaoyan.

When the three of them saw Chen Ye walking into the courtyard, they all stood up in surprise.

"Hoo ......"

Fang Lan let out a long sigh of relief when she saw that Chen Ye was safe and sound.

Qin Miaoyan is the same.

Although she blindly trusted Chen Ye in her heart, she was still a little worried about Chen Ye's safety.

"Boss!"

Immediately, Wang Long, Qiao Donglai, and Lin Xianzhi took the lead in walking out of the living room and greeted Chen Ye.

Chen Ye asked with some surprise:

"Why are you here?"

"I ...... Let's accompany the boss for the New Year! ”

Wang Lung deliberately said loudly, and then seeing that Chen Ye didn't believe it, he hurriedly stepped forward, lowered his voice, and told Chen Ye the real reason why the three of them came here.

After they learned about Chen Ye's incident at Babaoshan Cemetery, they were worried about Chen Ye's safety, so they rushed to the courtyard as soon as possible.

"Ono, are you alright?"

Fang Lan also walked out of the house with Qin Miaoyan's support.

Chen Ye smiled slightly: "Mom, I'm fine." ”

"It's okay."

Fang Lan confirmed that Chen Ye was fine, completely relieved, and then asked:

"What time do we take the high-speed train back?"

"Mom, it's too busy to go back to Jiangzhou today, let's celebrate the New Year here. It just so happened that Wang Lung and they also came, accompanying us for the New Year! ”

Chen Ye said with a smile.

When he entered Beijing this time, in addition to sweeping Chen Xiurui's tomb, he also had to make Zhao Tianming pay the price and let Xiao Ziyu break free from the shackles of fate.

Now, he has only completed the first thing, and naturally he can't go home.

He was going to accompany his mother Fang Lan and Qin Miaoyan for the New Year in the courtyard, and then let the two return to Jiangzhou first, and then go back after dealing with the rest of the matter.

"Yes, Auntie, I can't even eat Chinese New Year's Eve dinner when I rush back today, so you can celebrate the New Year here." I'll go grocery shopping with Donglai and Xiaozhi, and we'll make dumplings in the afternoon! ”

Wang Lung hurriedly smiled and agreed.

Originally, he said that he came to accompany Chen Ye and the three of them for the New Year, but it was just an excuse to hide Fang Lan.

At this moment, he heard that Chen Ye was going to leave the three of them in the courtyard to celebrate the New Year together, not to mention how excited he was.

Qiao Donglai and Lin Xianzhi also nodded excitedly, just like chickens pecking rice.

Qiao Donglai couldn't go back to Jiangzhou for the New Year because he had to be on duty during the Chinese New Year, and he was alone in Yanjing.

Lin Xianzhi is urged to marry by the elders of the Lin family every New Year, and she has long been annoyed, how can she not be happy to be able to celebrate the New Year with Chen Ye and others?

Subsequently, Wang Long and the three of them drove the car and rushed to the supermarket to make a big purchase, from pots and pans to oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, to tableware and various ingredients, all of which were bought.

In addition, there are festive things such as spring couplets and lanterns.

In the afternoon, Chen Ye and several people accompanied Fang Lan to make dumplings, and then prepared the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, which was busy until eight o'clock.

The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner lasted until eleven o'clock.

To be precise, at nine o'clock, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was over, and Chen Ye and Wang Long, Qiao Donglai, and Lin Xianzhi drank until eleven o'clock.

When it was close to midnight, Chen Ye sent Wang Long, Qiao Donglai and Lin Xianzhi out of the courtyard.

"Whew!"

When Chen Ye saw off Wang Long and the three of them, and was about to turn around and enter the courtyard, a sharp sound suddenly sounded in the quiet night.

A ceremonial flower rose into the sky and exploded, gorgeous and colorful.

Zero o'clock arrived.

Chen Ye thought about it, took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Xiao Ziyu: Ziyu, Happy New Year.

And yet—

Xiao Ziyu did not reply to Chen Ye's information in seconds as usual.

On the contrary, Chen Ye's information was lost.

Chen Ye raised his eyebrows and called Xiao Ziyu again, but Xiao Ziyu's phone could not be reached.

This made Chen Ye realize that something was wrong.

He thought about it for a while, and called Huangfu Forgetfulness, and asked Huangfu Forgetfulness to help investigate whether something happened to Xiao Ziyu.

At the same time, Xiao Ziyu, who was in the Xiao family's compound, didn't know about Chen Ye's messages and phone calls.

Because, after Chen Ye arrived in Yanjing, she was placed under house arrest in the Xiao family compound, and her mobile phone was also taken away, cutting off all contact with the outside world.

This was the decision of Xiao Zhiyuan, the head of the Xiao family, in order to prevent Xiao Ziyu from contacting Chen Ye.

In a room in the Chen family's compound, Xiao Ziyu stood by the window, looking at the colorful fireworks outside the window, and his heart was sad.

According to the practice of the Xiao family, every year during the Chinese New Year, all the Xiao family members will return to the Xiao family compound to accompany Xiao Zhiyuan for the New Year, and will wait until 0:00 to leave after the cannon is fired.

Although Yanjing has a ban on fireworks, for the Xiao family, the so-called ban is just a decoration.

"Ziyu, Mom just cooked you a plate of dumplings, you can eat some."

Just when the Xiao family was setting off fireworks in the yard, Xiao Ziyu's mother, Zhou Yun, walked in with a plate of hot dumplings.

Xiao Ziyu was very uncomfortable because of his house arrest and did not attend the Xiao family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner today.

Xiao Ziyu didn't reply, and said lightly:

"I don't have an appetite."

"Alas, Ziyu, Mom knows that you are unhappy, but your grandfather is also for the good of you and the Xiao family."

Zhou Yun put down the dumplings, walked to Xiao Ziyu's side, sighed and said:

"After all, there are only three days left for your wedding with Zhao Tianming. At this juncture, that Chen Ye suddenly entered Beijing, and it was clear that he was here for your business. If you contact Chen Ye at this time, how can the Xiao family explain to the Zhao family? ”

Xiao Ziyu was silent.

She naturally knew the purpose of Xiao Zhiyuan's house arrest.

"Ziyu, are you really worth it for that Chen Ye?"

Seeing that Xiao Ziyu was silent, Zhou Yun couldn't help but ask.

Then, seeing that Xiao Ziyu did not answer, she continued:

"I admit that Chen Ye is very good, and he has incredible abilities in many fields!

But you must know that Chen Ye has a fiancée. He won't give up his fiancée for you!

Even, he didn't give up the woman named Zhu Yeqing for you!

Why do you want to be obsessed with him?

Take 10,000 steps back, even if he is willing to give up those women, what can he do?

With his style of acting, something will happen sooner or later.

He has now become a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, and even the Chen family is drawing a line with him!

I heard that he went to sweep the tomb of his grandfather Chen Xiurui today, met the Chen family, and beat Chen Qingyuan, Chen Rui and his son, and it is said that he also had a conflict with Tiangu, the new leader of the Shouxia organization!

Ziyu, such a man, can't give you a sense of security, even if you marry him, if something happens to him in the future, do you want to be widowed for him for the rest of your life? ”

"Mom, I don't necessarily have to marry him."

Xiao Ziyu finally turned his head to look at Zhou Yun and spoke his heart.

"So what do you mean? Do you want to be his lover, or a more elegant confidant? ”

Stunned to hear Xiao Ziyu's words, Zhou Yun's face suddenly changed, and said:

"Ziyu, you must know that you are a descendant of the Xiao family! No one in the Xiao family will allow you to do this kind of thing that corrupts the family style and is embarrassing! ”

"Mom, for me, identity is just a symbol, I just want to control my own destiny and life!"

Xiao Ziyu said word by word.

"Girl, it's impossible! You are a descendant of the Xiao family, which means that from the moment you were born, your fate was tied to the interests of the Xiao family! ”

Zhou Yun sighed again and said:

"It's your fate, you have to accept it!"

"In the third year of junior high school, if Chen Ye doesn't go to the Yanjing Hotel, I will accept my fate."

Xiao Ziyu looked at the gorgeous fireworks and the lively Xiao family outside the window, and slowly spoke, his voice was not loud, but his tone was extremely firm,

"If Chen Ye goes to the Yanjing Hotel, even if he is the enemy of the whole world, I will stand firmly by his side!"
