"If you don't understand, then think about it properly. You have a brain for thinking, not for holding water." The other person snorted, clearly displeased.
Ye Chengen was somewhat embarrassed, as the old man had never been too satisfied with his intelligence.
“If your elder brother were here, how could I, at my age, still be worrying about family matters?” The other person paused, then said, “Think of a way to bring Jin Yu’s child back to the Ye family.”
The other party hung up the phone after saying that, and Ye Chengen, who was holding the phone, looked rather grim.
"Grandpa, I know you've always looked down on me." Ye Chengen murmured to himself, "If my elder brother were here, I wouldn't fight for anything from the Ye family, because I can't win."
"But if you want to hand over the future of the Ye family to Ye Xingchen, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
The Xia family mansion had never been so lively in recent decades. The return of Ye Xingchen and Xia Xueming filled the Xia family with laughter and joy.
Grandma Jiang grew to like Ye Xingchen more and more. After all, he was her own grandson. She hadn't held him properly when he was born, and now it seemed she was making up for all the time she had missed.
An elderly woman from the south brewed all sorts of soups, made all kinds of snacks and delicacies, and prepared all sorts of nourishing foods for Ye Xingchen.
Even though Ye Xingchen's strength had reached the Celestial Phenomenon level, his body couldn't withstand the effects of various tonics, and he was so inflamed that he almost had a nosebleed.
Xia Jingyi's care for her son is meticulous; she even took a short leave of absence to stay home and spend time with him.
That day, the mother and son sat for a while in the Rain Pavilion of the Xia Mansion.
"Xingchen, have you ever thought about moving Xingchen Group to Yanjing?" Xia Jingyi said, "Yanjing has a rich cultural and commercial heritage, which would definitely be good for your future development."
"Moreover, Ye Chengen was right yesterday. Xingchen Group has a very good development prospect. In particular, the advent of anti-cancer drugs has drawn attention to you. The bigger the tree, the more the wind blows. In the dark, who knows how many people are eyeing this piece of fat meat."
"If you come to Yanjing, I'll cut off the hand of anyone who dares to have any wicked thoughts."
"It's not impossible." Ye Xingchen thought for a moment. Given his mother's status, relocating Xingchen Group to Yanjing would be the most suitable choice.
“Your aunt’s Yuansheng Group is one of the top three companies in Yanjing. She has a group park in the most prosperous part of Shenghai District in Yanjing. She’s allocated a sixteen-story office building for you. That should be enough, right?” Xia Jingyi said with a smile.
"That's enough, it's settled then. I'll contact the vice president at Tianhai right away and move the business to Yanjing." Ye Xingchen nodded.
He knew that his aunt's Yuansheng Group was also an extremely powerful business conglomerate. The company was a group park with a total of six office buildings.
Moreover, its industries involve defense and biotechnology, and security is managed by the military, so moving the company there is almost foolproof.
"Alright, I'll contact your aunt later to discuss the relevant matters." Xia Jingyi looked at her son with a loving expression and murmured, "You've grown so much, but in my mind, you're still that newborn baby, not even a month old."
"It's been over twenty years, how could I not have grown up?" Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "I don't know what kind of person my dad really is."
“Your father…” Xia Jingyi said with some melancholy, “He is a very old-fashioned person, but he is meticulous despite his rough exterior. Originally, our two families had never spoken to each other.”
"But we met at a conference. At that time, he was in charge of the Red Feather Army and was full of vigor. I was just starting out in politics and making a name for myself."
Xia Jingyi was lost in thought, the scene from more than twenty years ago reappearing before her eyes.
"If only he were still here?"
"With his strength, even if he couldn't win, he should have been able to escape unscathed, right?" Ye Xingchen raised his head: "Why is this the case?"
“Jinluo City is no ordinary place. It is located at the intersection of three countries and is a no-man's-land,” Xia Jingyi said. “The forces inside are complex and intertwined, and some of their actions are even secretly supported by certain countries.”
"Moreover, there are three top celestial experts in Jinluo City, so for the past few decades, basically no one has dared to provoke them."
"But my father's ashes are still hanging on the city wall," Ye Xingchen murmured. "For more than twenty years, exposed to the wind and sun, he must have had a very hard time."
"You want to retrieve his remains?" Xia Jingyi was taken aback. She stood up abruptly: "No, it's too dangerous."
“I know it’s dangerous, but for the public good, he is a hero of China, commanding the Crimson Feather Army and fighting on all sides. For the private good, he is my biological father. As his son, how can I stand by and watch his body hang in Jinluo City and be insulted?”
Ye Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Although I have never met him, I have heard a lot about his deeds. Although more than 20 years have passed, his name is still well-known in the army. I don't believe that such a person would die under the enemy's conspiracy."
“If he is dead, I will bring his body back and give him a proper burial. If he is not dead, I will find him and bring him home.”
Xia Jingyi stared blankly at her son. Suddenly, tears streamed down her face. She grabbed Ye Xingchen's hand and said, "Good, you've grown up. Ye Jinyu, look! This is your son. He... is going to avenge you."
“Xingchen, I can agree to let you go, but Jinluo City is no less dangerous than a dragon's den or a tiger's lair. You must grow to a height that no one can reach before you can go.”
"I know, but that day will come soon, because I'm growing up so fast." Ye Xingchen held his mother's hand and nodded heavily.
"Ms. Xia, someone from the Ling family has come and specifically requests to see Ye Xingchen." Just then, Su Ruochu walked in.
She remained quiet and indifferent, as if Ye Xingchen's change in status had no effect on her.
"The Ling family?" Xia Jingyi said, "Please invite them in quickly, who has arrived?"
"Ling Yan, the eldest daughter of the Ling family."
"She's here?" Ye Xingchen was taken aback; his first thought was that he didn't want to see her.
Ling Yan is a woman who dares to love and hate. Back in Tianhai, she made no attempt to hide her feelings for Ye Xingchen.
Her coming to our door now can't possibly mean anything good.
"What, you don't want to see me?" A figure flashed, and Ling Yan had already walked in, her eyes carrying a half-smile.
"Of course not." Ye Xingchen smiled wryly, it seemed there was no way to avoid it.
"Hello Aunt Xia, may I borrow your young master for half a day?" Ling Yan smiled sweetly.
“Of course, Xingchen. You’ve just arrived in Yanjing and aren’t familiar with the place. It’s perfect for Lingyan to show you around and help you meet some friends,” Xia Jingyi said with a smile.
