Chapter 3177: No Youth Again

Over the years, the resentment between the Ye family and the An family came more from the deepening misunderstanding.

At the beginning, after Ye Chen's father Ye Changying was targeted by the Po Qing Society, he deliberately became an enemy of the Rothschild family because he did not want to implicate his family.

It was precisely because he was an enemy of the Rothschild family and put the Ye family under tremendous pressure that Ye Zhongquan was forced to expel Ye Changying from the family.

At that time, Ye Zhongquan did not know that his beloved second son had already been in life-threatening danger. He just felt that the Ye family would not gain any substantial benefits by being enemies with the Rothschilds, but would greatly affect the family's future international development.

In order to show goodwill to the Rothschild family and to show them that he had no intention of becoming their enemy, he drove Ye Changying out of the house.

In fact, what he was thinking was that driving Ye Changying away was just a temporary act. On the one hand, it would prevent Ye Changying from mobilizing the Ye family's resources to confront the Rothschild family, and on the other hand, it would satisfy the Rothschild family.

He also knew that the Ye family and the Rothschild family were only commercial competitors at the time, and they would never extend this competitive relationship into actual confrontation and harm.

In other words, this is a competition between two ordinary companies. In order to express sincerity to the other party, the chairman of one company fired its own CEO. In this case, the CEO will at most be unemployed for a period of time, and the other company will definitely not hire someone to assassinate him.

Therefore, when Ye Changying decided to leave Yanjing with his wife and children and go to Jinling, Ye Zhongquan did not think that Jinling would be the burial place of his son. He even felt that his son Ye Changying seemed to be a little too violent during that period, and it would be a good thing for him to go to Jinling to relax and cultivate his character.

But he never expected that the trip he thought was a chance to relax would turn out to be the beginning of the separation between father and son.

Neither the Ye family nor the An family knew that An Chengxi had survived Ye Changying's meticulous plan, so when the bad news reached the two families, Ye Zhongquan beat his chest and stamped his feet in regret, while the An family hated Ye Zhongquan to death.

Because the An family felt that it was because Ye Zhongquan drove away Ye Changying's family of three that their daughter An Chengxi died in a foreign land and their grandson Ye Chen disappeared.

It was not until Ye Chen appeared that both of them figured out the truth of the matter. In fact, Ye Changying's death was not caused by Ye Zhongquan, but Ye Changying and An Chengxi did not want to implicate the two families, so they took the initiative to become enemies of the Rothschild family, and were therefore driven out of the Ye family by Ye Zhongquan.

All of this was planned by Ye Changying and An Chengxi. Ye Zhongquan was just a chess piece in their plan, but he had to bear the burden for twenty years without knowing it. How could the An family continue to blame him when they knew this?

The fact is, after the An family knew all this, not only did they no longer have any hatred towards Ye Zhongquan, they even felt guilty for targeting him openly and covertly for so many years.

Today Ye Zhongquan came to Jinling, and An Qishan wanted to bring his whole family to the airport to pick him up, but Ye Chen dissuaded him from this idea on the grounds that the An family was not suitable for showing up in public together.

However, although An Qishan did not come to the airport, he had asked his wife and children to make careful preparations at home for a long time. The whole family prepared a sumptuous family dinner together, just waiting for Ye Chen to pick up Ye Zhongquan.

Since this was a low-key trip, Ye Zhongquan did not bring any entourage. Ye Chen simply drove an inconspicuous BMW sedan to pick up the old man from the airport, and the grandfather and grandson went straight to the Champs Elysees Hot Spring Villa in the suburbs.

When Ye Chen drove the car to the gate of the villa, before the car stopped, all the people in the An family came out of the villa.

An Qishan and his wife supported each other and walked in front, followed by their four children, and even Li Yalin came out to greet them.

Ye Zhongquan in the car was surprised and a little nervous when he saw the An family coming out to greet them. He subconsciously unbuckled his seat belt while the car was still slowing down and was about to open the door.

The moment the seat belt reminder sounded, Ye Chen also stopped the car completely.

Ye Zhongquan opened the car door almost at the same time Ye Chen parked the car and got out of the car impatiently.

An Qishan couldn't help but walk a few steps faster at the foot of the car. When Ye Zhongquan got out of the car, he immediately stretched out his hands to him and said with emotion: "Brother Ye, I hope you have been well all these years!"

Ye Zhongquan shook hands with him, nodded slightly and said, "Brother An, how are you?"

After two simple greetings, the two old men's tightly clasped hands swung up and down heavily many times.

Ye Chen's grandmother also stepped forward and said politely: "Brother Ye, long time no see!"

Ye Zhongquan nodded to her and said with a smile, "Is everything going well for you, sister-in-law?"

"Very good." The old lady nodded and quickly said to her children behind her: "Don't just stand there, say hello to Uncle Ye."

Ye Chen's three uncles and aunt also said in unison: "Hello, Uncle Ye."

Ye Zhongquan nodded to the four of them, and said with a smile, "Hello to you too. I haven't seen you for so many years, and you have all changed a lot."

An Chongqiu said respectfully: "Uncle Ye, when we met before, we were both young and vigorous people, but now we have gradually entered the ranks of middle-aged and elderly people."

Ye Zhongquan sighed and said: "Flowers may bloom again, but people can never be young again. As long as there are no regrets in your heart, it doesn't matter if you grow old."

An Chongqiu nodded: "Uncle Ye is right."

When An Qishan saw Ye Chen also got out of the car, he quickly said to everyone, "Let's go in and eat and talk! The food and wine are ready."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Zhongquan again and said seriously: "Brother Ye, we must have a few drinks together tonight!"

Ye Zhongquan agreed without hesitation and said, "The doctor has always told me not to drink, but I must have a few drinks today!"

A crowd of people escorted the three old men into the villa. The large dining table in the restaurant was already filled with food. An Qishan pulled Ye Zhongquan to sit together. He stood up and poured a glass of wine for Ye Zhongquan and filled it for himself. At the same time, he asked several children and Ye Chen to say, "You all should also accompany us tonight for a drink."

After hearing this, Ye Chen stood up and poured wine for his three uncles, aunt and Li Yalin.

An Qishan picked up the wine glass himself and said to Ye Zhongquan with a guilty look: "Brother Ye, over the years, the An family has neglected you a lot. Many things we did were wrong. I would like to sincerely apologize to you on behalf of the An family. Please don't hold it against us!"

Ye Zhongquan naturally understood what An Qishan meant. Over the years, he had indeed been targeted by the An family many times. Once, he met An Kaifeng at an important meeting overseas. Although the latter was a junior, he still did not give him any face.

But Ye Zhongquan has always been objective enough in his dealings with people and things. He knew that the An family was dissatisfied with him because An Chengxi died after marrying into the Ye family. Even the most reasonable family members would have resentful. What's more, An Chengxi was the eldest daughter of the An family and the brightest pearl of the An family. Not only did her parents love her very much, but her three younger brothers and one younger sister also regarded her as an idol. The death of An Chengxi was a great loss and pain for everyone in the An family.

So, he also picked up the wine glass and said sincerely: "I, Ye Zhongquan, have hated many people in my life and blamed many people, but the An family is definitely not among them. Since what happened to Chengxi and Changying happened in Jinling, it is the responsibility of the Ye family. It was the Ye family that failed to fulfill its obligation to protect them. It is human nature for you to blame me."

Then he added: "If Changying had had an accident in the United States and I didn't know the details, I would definitely blame the An family."

As soon as he said this, Ye Zhongquan's expression suddenly became very lonely, and he murmured softly: "Hey, over the years, I have been everywhere, but I have never been to Jinling. This is the first time since Changying and Chengxi were buried."

An Qishan looked sad, sighed, and nodded, saying, "Ah! I didn't want to come to Jinling before, and I couldn't even hear the word Jinling. But later, when I learned that Chen'er had lived here for so many years, I didn't reject Jinling so much anymore."

Ye Zhongquan nodded and said, "Thanks to Chen'er, otherwise I still don't know who killed Changying and Chengxi."

After that, Ye Zhongquan suddenly remembered something, and said to An Qishan: "Chen'er is very powerful now, maybe we can live to see him wipe out that damn Broken Qing Society!"

"Yes." An Qishan said solemnly: "The moment I recognized Chen'er, I had already made the decision. The only mission of the An family now is to do our utmost to help Chen'er eradicate the Poqing Society and avenge Changying and Chengxi. In order to achieve this goal, the An family can give up everything they have!"

Ye Zhongquan nodded and said, "It's the same with the Ye family. I have already passed the position of the head of the Ye family to Chen'er. Now the Ye family follows Chen'er's lead in everything. As long as we can eradicate that broken Qing Society, what does it matter if the Ye family goes bankrupt?"

An Qishan agreed and said, "Brother Ye is right. Revenge is what the An family wants to do most now. In order to achieve this goal, all the resources of the An family are at the disposal of Chen'er. Together with the Ye family, our two families will give everything they have. In addition, Chen'er has outstanding talent, so eradicating the Poqing Society is absolutely a piece of cake!"

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Chen and said sincerely: "Chen'er, if grandpa doesn't live to see the day when you eradicate the Poqing Society, then when everything is settled, you must come to my mausoleum and tell me in person!"

Ye Chen, who had been silent, spoke up at this time: "Grandpa, don't worry, you will definitely see the Po Qing Society disappear with your own eyes! It won't be long before I take the initiative to attack the Po Qing Society. I will pull out the teeth of the Po Qing Society one by one, and then kill that Wu Feiyan with my own hands. When everything is settled, we will go to Yeling Mountain together and tell my parents this good news. If they know about it in the afterlife, they will definitely be very relieved!"
