Even Jiujiu wasn't entirely sure.
Grandma looked up at Ye Chengzhi, who immediately understood and slowly explained, helping this group of people who couldn't figure out the current situation to clarify their relationships:
“Our grandfather’s family was originally in City A. They kept a low profile and didn’t cause much of a stir back then. Now, City A has almost forgotten about the Ye family, so it’s normal that you haven’t heard of them since.”
“All of our Ye family’s original businesses were in City A. You’ve only heard of the Fourteenth Family, but you don’t know that the Ye family used to be far more powerful than the Fourteenth Family. Back then, we were the real richest family in City A.”
"Grandpa originally wanted to train Uncle and Dad, hoping that the two brothers would work together to create new glories, but Uncle insisted on leaving home and refused to inherit the family property."
"Grandpa was so angry that he had no choice but to leave half of the business in City A for Dad to manage, and move the other half to City D to manage himself, so that he could manage it well."
"After the Ye family dispersed its businesses, it was no longer the richest family in City A. In order to avoid suspicion of being the new richest family and to have enough time to travel between the countryside and the city of City A, my father simply kept a low profile to avoid too much trouble that would waste his time."
"That's why the Ye family has kept a low profile in City A, but... Grandpa has become the richest man in City D."
Others: "..."
Ye Qi: "..."
Could this be the legendary...?
Rebirth: My Grandfather's Family Was Once the Richest in City A, Now They're the Richest in City D
She couldn't help but admire her grandfather's dedication to his work.
He was the richest man in City A when he was young, and when he got too old to be the richest man in City D, he went to City D to be the richest man.
If it were her, she would simply lie down with one click.
Ye Qi: I need to think of a way to get Grandpa's support for me to lie down.
Ye Shuli was so shocked he couldn't close his mouth: "Holy crap! That's awesome!"
Ye Shuli: I need to figure out a way to get on my grandfather's good side so that he can continue his plan to live off his parents!
Ye Jingyan wasn't surprised by this. Instead, he wondered if he could use his grandfather's influence to strengthen his own power and expand his business empire.
Ye Jingyan now.
He only thought about using everyone's connections to strengthen himself and protect his family.
Ye Jingyan: Let's think of a way to use Grandpa's influence and connections.
Ye Ze'an glanced around calmly and saw that everyone was preoccupied with their own things.
Ye Ze'an: Why does the atmosphere feel so strange? Hmm... I'm just thinking of a way to trick Grandpa into funding his new experiment?
Ye Zhixi recalled her conversation with her grandfather and suddenly had a bold idea.
Ye Zhixi: I need to figure out a way to persuade my grandfather to cooperate with me, so that I can expand my business in China, enter the international market, and earn more money to support my younger sister!
Ye Chengzhi looked around at the strange atmosphere.
Ye Chengzhi: Why aren't they saying anything?
Shi Wanwan was distracted.
Grandma Ye just smiled without saying a word.
Ye Jingyan seemed to realize something was amiss: "Ah Zhi, are you saying the Ye family was originally the richest family in City A, right?"
Ye Chengzhi nodded.
Ye Jingyan pressed further, "Logically speaking, those powerful families should have considerable influence, so how could they not know Dad and Uncle's identities?"
Ye Chengzhi honestly replied, "Grandpa doesn't like to act in a high-profile manner and rarely takes the initiative to interact with other prominent families. He usually lets Master Hu handle these interactions. Master Hu is loyal and does everything well, so he has become the Ye family's main diplomat."
“My father and uncle were taught from a young age not to use the Ye family name to make a fuss, and not to reveal their identities when making friends.”
Ye Qi tilted her head: "What about the banquet?"
"I will not participate."
Ye Qi: "...emmmm, aren't you afraid of ruining our relationship?"
Aren't you afraid of creating a situation where you're surrounded by enemies on all sides and attacked from both sides?
Ye Chengzhi and Ye Qi grew up together. He could understand all of Ye Qi's thoughts with just a single sentence from her.
"I'm not afraid."
"Grandpa once said that apart from family and true friends, there are no permanent relationships, only permanent interests. As long as the interests are maintained properly, it is enough to give those powerful families some fabricated evidence."
Ye Qi: ……
What a simple and straightforward way to avoid social interaction.
As long as the interests remain there and someone else has leverage over the situation, the other party won't be too wary of them, even if they don't show up.
Grandma Ye took a sip of tea and said calmly, "In the words of you younger generations—"
"I'm just throwing my life away, so I'll do it."
"If you can make money, then make it; if you can't, then forget it."
Ye Qi: ...What a carefree grandpa.
Ye Qi: "...Grandpa, could it be that you have social anxiety?"
Grandma Ye paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Children shouldn't always speak the truth."
Ye Qi: "..."
Others: "..."
Before others heard Ye Qi and Grandma Ye's conversation, they thought that Grandpa just didn't want to be high-profile or show off, and preferred to develop himself quietly and steadily.
I never expected it to be social anxiety!
Ye Shuli sensed something was wrong: "That's not right. Even if Grandpa is socially awkward, why would he restrict Dad and Uncle?"
Ye Ze'an thought for a moment and then naturally said, "Maybe he doesn't want the child to cause trouble outside, finds it troublesome, and is too lazy to deal with trouble?"
Anyway, if it were him, he would do the same.
As long as the children in the family are not bullied, avoid troubling him if possible.
Grandma Ye took another sip of tea: "Sometimes you shouldn't just blurt out the truth with others."
Everyone else, including Ye Qi, said: "..."
Looking back now, it seems that Grandpa really was a willful person.
Ye Zhixi was listening to their conversation and just felt comfortable when an unexpected ringtone interrupted their chatter.
Ye Zhixi's expression remained unchanged: "Excuse me, I'll take this call. You two continue your conversation."
