Chapter 3446 4 Hai, you have worked hard

Ye Chen rested in Jinling for a few days and then set off again for Guangcheng in the south.

It was just approaching the end of the lunar year and the weather was getting colder, but the temperature in Guangzhou was not that low, so it was relatively friendly to the performances.

According to the plan, the last stop is Rongcheng. After the last performance in Rongcheng, Ye Chen will return to Jinling immediately. The next day, he and his family will fly to Maldives.

Ye Chen was a little tired after running around with Tawana for days. He couldn't wait to have a good rest during the New Year. It wasn't that he was physically tired, but he needed to relax and empty his mind.

When Ye Chen followed Tawana's performance in Guangzhou, a cargo ship docked at Pudong Port in Shanghai.

This is a Chinese-flagged cargo ship that just returned to the anchorage. All the crew members just got off the ship to rest. After the freighter loads the next batch of cargo, it will weigh anchor and head for Europe.

Among the crew members, there was a middle-aged man who was a chef. Everyone affectionately called him Chef Ma, but his real identity was Tang Sihai, the butler of the Ye family for many years.

All the members of this ship are subordinates of Ye Chen's mother, An Chengxi. An Chengxi controls a Chinese shipping company. Although it is not as big as Yisu Shipping, it also has dozens of container ships. While providing An Chengxi with ample cash profits, it can also help her to dispatch materials and personnel on a global scale.

After Tang Sihai left the freighter, he was escorted all the way to Jinling by a special person through secret channels.

Jinling is not far from Shanghai, and it only takes three or four hours to get there.

An Chengxi arranged for Tang Sihai to settle down in Qixia Temple, because the entire Jinling was full of Ye Chen's people and properties, and she did not dare to let Tang Sihai show any sign of being in public.

Tang Sihai rode in a business car with a completely opaque back seat all the way from Shanghai to Qixia Temple. It was already late at night when he arrived at Qixia Temple.

Qixia Temple is closed at night and does not receive pilgrims and lay Buddhists, but the side door leading into the mountain was opened at this time. It was not closed again until the business car that Tang Sihai was riding in entered the gate.

The business car drove directly to the middle of the mountain, which was the private courtyard where An Chengxi once lived. Several monks quietly cleaned up the courtyard and guest rooms. After the business car drove into the courtyard, they immediately lowered their heads and evacuated.

Two men in black got off the driver and co-pilot seats. After checking and locking the doors, they opened the rear sliding door and said respectfully to Tang Sihai in the car, "Butler Tang, we've arrived. You can get out of the car."

Tang Sihai nodded slightly. After getting off the car, he saw an old man walking out of the main room of the courtyard. It was Sister Sun who usually accompanied An Chengxi.

When Sister Sun saw Tang Sihai, she smiled and said, "Sihai, you must have had a hard time on this journey."

Tang Sihai smiled and said, "I have been enjoying the tropical island scenery in Tahiti for a while. It is not hard at all. It is Sister Sun who has been accompanying Madam all the time, which is really hard."

After saying that, he stood there and looked up at the hazy moonlight in the sky. He took a deep breath of the damp and cold air in the cold winter, and sighed, "Sister Sun, to be honest, I am still not used to the winter in the south. It makes me think of the young master again. During the first winter he spent in the welfare home, he often curled up in bed and shivered in the middle of the night because he couldn't stand the damp and cold. But the welfare home was too old. There was no heating or air conditioning at all, and even the windows were single-glazed. I wanted to do something for the young master at the time, but I was afraid that doing too much would arouse his suspicion or attract attention, so I could only let him get frostbite. Now thinking back to that winter, I cried a lot for the young master in Yanjing..."

Sister Sun nodded and sighed, "The director of the welfare home sent some photos. The young master's hands, feet and ears were all frozen at the time. Madam often shed tears after seeing those photos, but now think about it, those hardships were actually indispensable training for the young master in life. Without those hardships, how could he have grown into the upright Master Ye today."

Tang Sihai nodded slightly and said with emotion: "Sister Sun is right. The young master has been struggling in the mud for so many years and finally became a great talent. The muddy pond of Jinling was ultimately unable to stop the young master from soaring to the sky."

Sister Sun smiled and said, "But a mud pond is still a mud pond after all. Madam thinks it's time for the young master to get rid of this mud pond once and for all."

Tang Sihai asked her: "The mud pond Sister Sun mentioned should be the Xiao family, right?"

"Yes." Sister Sun nodded heavily and said seriously: "You have been the housekeeper of the Ye family for so many years. People who know the Ye family should have heard of your name. There is also a lot of information about you on the Internet. If you meet Xiao Churan and tell her the young master's background truthfully, I believe she will not have any doubts."

Tang Sihai asked: "If Xiao Churan knew this, would Madam hope that she would divorce the Young Master?"

"That's right." Sister Sun said, "Madam inferred that with Xiao Churan's personality, if she knew that the young master had been hiding things from her for so many years, and had been hiding so many things that had happened in the past few years from her, she would definitely leave the young master."

At this point, she continued hesitantly, "But Madam is not sure whether the young master will be willing to let Xiao Churan leave at that time, so you should find a chance to have a good talk with Xiao Churan and let her understand that if she stays with the young master, it will not only add burden to the young master, but also bring unnecessary danger to her and her family. It would be best if she could leave the young master willingly."

Tang Sihai said worriedly: "Young Master cares about her very much. If I can persuade her to leave Young Master, it won't be difficult to find her with Young Master's ability. After all, Young Master now has a complete set of AI models and has laid ground networks at airports and docks all over the world."

Sister Sun smiled and said, "If she is willing to leave the young master, Madam will arrange for her and her family to quietly leave China, and will definitely not let the young master find her. When Madam is able to meet the young master, Madam will naturally explain everything to the young master. At that time, if the young master still wants to find Xiao Churan, Madam will not stop him."

Then she added, "By the way, by that time, you can also return to China. If the young master needs you, then you can return to his side and serve him. If the young master doesn't need you anymore, then you can retire and enjoy a peaceful life."

Tang Sihai nodded gently and sighed, "Madam separated him and Miss Xiao. I wonder if the young master will feel resentful in the future."

Sister Sun sighed and said helplessly: "Even if the young master blames Madam, Madam can only do this, otherwise he will never be able to cut off his worries. The girl from the Xiao family and the people in Jinling will become his shackles."

Then Sister Sun asked him, "Do you think if the young master knew that Madam had been behind the scenes for so many years, would he blame Madam?"

"This... shouldn't be the case." Tang Sihai said, "After all, Madam has had a very hard life over the years."

"That's it." Sister Sun smiled and said, "Madam and Young Master are both working towards the same goal. Only when this goal is achieved sooner can they, mother and son, be reunited!"
