The sun is setting, and the remnant sun is like blood.

Chen Ye saw Xiao Zhiyuan with all the core members of the Xiao family and welcomed him, confirming his previous guess.

His expression was like a dry well, without any waves.

And Xiao Ziyu was stunned, and her pretty face was in a trance.

In her memory, the Xiao family had only greeted one person with the most grand welcome ceremony.

Zhao Tuzhi.

Chen Ye is the second!

Like Xiao Ziyu, her parents, Xiao He, Zhou Yun and his wife, looked at Chen Ye's calm appearance, and they were also in a trance.

Once upon a time, they all thought that the young man in front of them was not worthy of their daughter.

Even, Zhou Yun once said: Ability is worthless in the face of power!

At that time, she thought that no matter how strong and excellent Chen Ye was, he could not be compared with Zhao Tianming, who had the blood of the Zhao family!

And yet—

Now, the young man who was once looked down on by her has been grandly welcomed by the Xiao family.

This contrast makes her feel like a dream!

Not only Xiao He, Zhou Yun and his wife, but also the other core members of the Xiao family are no better.

How is this possible?

At the same time, Xiao Zhijie and others stood at the passage of the inner and outer courtyards, peeking at the scenes of the inner courtyard, and they were all dumbfounded!

This moment.

Their hearts were filled with the same doubt: why did Chen Ye let the Xiao family welcome him so grandly?

"Grandpa Xiao, I wish you a happy birthday, Shoubi Nanshan!"

Immediately, the silence of the inner courtyard was broken, and Chen Ye stepped forward with a gift to send blessings to Xiao Zhiyuan.

"Thank you Ono!"

Hearing Chen Ye's blessing, Xiao Zhiyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and a happy smile appeared on his face.

Although he knew that Chen Ye could come today, and after having an unpleasant encounter with Xiao Zhijie, he still sent him his blessings and called him Grandpa Xiao, largely because of Xiao Ziyu.

But this is not important, the important thing is that Chen Ye has no hostility towards the Xiao family!

This is enough for him and the Xiao family!

"Grandpa, this is a gift from Chen Ye to you, it's an old mountain ginseng."

As Xiao Zhiyuan's words fell, Xiao Ziyu took the gift from Chen Ye's hand and spoke.

"Thank you Ono, please inside!"

Xiao Zhiyuan thanked him again and made a gesture of please.

Chen Ye nodded slightly, and walked into the main hall of the inner courtyard of the Xiao family side by side with Xiao Zhiyuan.

Xiao He followed behind the two and gave his wife Zhou Yun a look, who understood and took the gift from Xiao Ziyu's hand.

In the layout of the Yanjing Courtyard, the main hall is also a welcome hall, which is usually used to entertain guests.

After Chen Ye was invited into the main hall of the inner courtyard of the Xiao family, he chatted with Xiao Zhiyuan and the others for a few words, and then followed Xiao Zhiyuan to the 'Flower Hall'.

The Flower Room is a place used for banquets or entertainment, similar to a restaurant in a modern building.

The flower hall in the inner courtyard of the Xiao family is two hundred square meters, and there are four eight-immortal tables in it, which are diamond-shaped, and the main table is in front of it.

"Ono, you sit next to me."

After Xiao Zhiyuan took Chen Ye into the flower hall, he said to Chen Ye.

"Okay, Grandpa Xiao."

Chen Ye nodded, and then said to Xiao Ziyu: "Ziyu, you can sit with me." ”

"Uh......"

Stunned to hear Chen Ye's words, whether it was Xiao Ziyu or the elders of the Xiao family, they were all stunned.

As one of the top wealthy families in the Xia Kingdom, the Xiao family has inherited some rules handed down from their ancestors.

For example, women are not allowed to go to the main table, elders are not allowed to move chopsticks, younger children are not allowed to move chopsticks, and so on.

These rules are dross in the eyes of modern people, and ordinary people will not care about them, but in wealthy families, they are very particular.

"Ziyu, then you sit next to Xiao Ye."

At the same time that everyone was stunned, Xiao Zhiyuan beckoned to Xiao Ziyu.

"Okay, grandpa."

Xiao Ziyu nodded and walked to Chen Ye's side.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yun was even more in a trance.

As the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, even if she has made achievements in her career, she has never sat at the main table.

And today, her daughter, because of the young man who once despised her, sat at the main table of the Xiao family.

This made her feel mixed feelings.

In the hearts of the other core members of the Xiao family, it is not a taste.

The Xiao family has always had strict rules, but today an outsider broke the rules!

Soon, the core members and elders of the Xiao family were seated, and the younger generation of members of the Xiao family, led by Xiao Zhijie, also entered the flower hall one after another.

Well?

When Xiao Zhijie saw Xiao Ziyu and Chen Ye sitting at the main table, his eyes almost popped out!

When will the women of the Xiao family be able to sit at the main table?

He, the eldest and youngest of the Xiao family, has never sat at the main table, why should Xiao Ziyu?

In addition to being shocked, Xiao Zhijie's heart was full of resentment, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

Chen Ye sensed Xiao Zhijie's resentment and unwillingness, turned his head and said to Xiao Zhiyuan:

"Grandpa Xiao, I have a reluctant request."

"Ono, you say."

"Move the children's table out, or I'll see them affect their appetite."

Chen Ye spoke slowly, his tone was understated, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

And yet—

His words fell into the ears of everyone, but they were like a thunderbolt from the sky!

Xiao Zhiyuan's birthday banquet, Chen Ye did not let the younger generation of members of the Xiao family participate?

Moreover, in Chen Ye's eyes, Xiao Zhijie and others are children?!

Xiao Zhiyuan was also a little stunned, but he thought of Chen Ye's previous style of acting, smiled bitterly in his heart, and then said to Xiao Zhijie with a serious face:

"Since Ono doesn't want to see you, then you don't want to be an eyesore here, go find a place to eat outside!"

“？？？”

Xiao Zhijie and the others were stunned!

This moment.

They even suspected that Chen Ye was Xiao Zhiyuan's own grandson, and they were all wild grandsons who were picked up!

"Zhijie, didn't you hear your grandfather's words? Hurry up and get your younger siblings out! ”

Seeing that Xiao Zhijie and the others were indifferent, Xiao Zhen said coldly.

Although he felt that Chen Ye's request was a bit excessive, they could only do it.

Because, today's Xiao family is like a concubine to Chen Ye, and they can only be obedient to Chen Ye.

"Good...... Okay, grandpa, dad, let's go out to eat. ”

Xiao Zhijie woke up like a dream, first respectfully accepted the order, and then glanced at Chen Ye with a sad face.

Surnamed Chen, you are too special to bully people!

Other members of the younger generation of the Xiao family also think the same way.

They were annoyed and aggrieved, but they didn't dare to be angry or speak, so they could only follow Xiao Zhijie and leave honestly.

Seeing this scene, the elders of the Xiao family could only sigh secretly in their hearts:

Why do you have nothing to do to provoke that Hades?

Is he someone you can afford to mess with?

"Let's serve."

After Xiao Zhijie and the others left, Xiao Zhiyuan opened his mouth to break the silence of the flower hall, still with a smile on his face.

It seems that he doesn't care about Chen Ye blasting Xiao Zhijie and others out.

Subsequently, the birthday banquet began, and Chen Ye and everyone in the Xiao family raised a glass together to send blessings to Xiao Zhiyuan.

Xiao Zhiyuan expressed his gratitude, especially Chen Ye for coming to celebrate his birthday.

"Ono, this is my favorite dish, how about you try it."

After a glass of wine, Xiao Zhiyuan moved his chopsticks first and gave Chen Ye vegetables.

“——”

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Xiao family was speechless.

Including Xiao Zhen, Xiao He and other core members of the Xiao family!

Yes.

Even if they knew Xiao Zhiyuan's purpose of inviting Chen Ye to Xiao's house today, Xiao Zhiyuan respected Chen Ye too much!

Don't say that Chen Ye is a young man in his early twenties, except for Zhao Tuzhi, even if the old people of the major wealthy families in the Xia Kingdom sit in this flower hall, it is impossible for Xiao Zhiyuan to personally pick up the dishes!

What is there in the Xiao family that requires Chen Ye to make his grandfather speak in such a low voice?

Meanwhile.

The curiosity in Xiao Ziyu's heart has reached the extreme!

If it weren't for the fact that the dinner had just started, she would have wanted to break the previous convention, pull Chen Ye out, and ask what happened!

An hour later, the dinner was over.

"Ono, someone gave me some mountain tea two days ago, you can help me taste it and see how it goes."

Xiao Zhiyuan smiled and extended an invitation to Chen Ye.

"Grandpa Xiao, I don't know about tea, but I ate too much meat tonight, and it's good to drink some tea and scrape oil."

Chen Zhi understood and smiled slightly.

For him.

Tonight, the real main course is on the table!
