He then stepped forward and greeted him, "Grandpa."
Old Master Ye asked, "Is he inside?"
Ye Song nodded. "Yes."
"Go tell him that I've arrived."
Ye Song hesitated for a moment, then took it upon himself to open the door, hoping that his master could reconcile with the old man.
He could tell that the old man still had fatherly feelings for his master.
If he truly didn't care about his master, the old man could have simply ignored it and wouldn't have come to visit him again and again.
The master simply finds it difficult to let go of the grievances he suffered in his childhood, which is why he has always wanted to obtain the Ye family in order to prove himself.
When Old Master Ye saw Ye Song open the door, he was somewhat surprised and said, "Aren't you afraid your master will be angry?"
Ye Song said, "Let him be angry. I just hope that the old man can have a proper talk with Brother Wen. Brother Wen has had a hard time too."
Grandpa Ye was surprised by Ye Song's words and replied, "Yes, I know."
"Yesong, it seems that Wenyao keeping you by his side was the right thing to do."
Ye Song cupped his hands in greeting and said, "You flatter me, sir."
Upon reaching the door, Old Master Ye left Butler Jin at the entrance and then went inside alone.
Upon hearing the commotion, Ye Wenyao immediately asked, "Who is it?"
After waiting for a long time, he knew he would not receive a reply.
He frowned and turned to look back.
When Ye Wenyao saw Old Master Ye's figure, his thick eyebrows furrowed even more tightly.
What are you doing here?!
"Yesong! Who gave you the right to let him in without permission!"
Ye Wenyao was furious.
He was in a terrible state, and he didn't want Old Master Ye to see his predicament.
He especially didn't want him to see him make a fool of himself.
He has always wanted to prove that he is the best successor.
Seeing him in this state, Ye Wenyao's pride was utterly shattered.
This time, Old Master Ye wasn't as angry as usual. Instead, he acted as if he hadn't heard anything and sat down opposite Ye Wenyao.
He then looked up at Ye Wenyao and said in an aged voice, "Let's have a good talk."
Ye Wenyao scoffed, "I don't think I have anything to talk to you about."
He paused, then added, "If you let Ye Mohan give me the Ye family business, I think we can sit down and talk calmly. Otherwise, there's no point in discussing anything."
Old Master Ye looked at Ye Wenyao and said, "I have already handed over the Ye family to Mo Han, so it belongs to him."
"I know that the reason you've always held a grudge against the Ye family isn't because you really want to destroy them."
Ye Wenyao paused for a moment, but he quickly concealed his unusual expression.
With a cold expression, he said, "Who told you I didn't want to destroy the Ye family? Let me tell you, I dream about it."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Ye was not angry. Instead, he said, "Over the years, I have been reflecting on why you have become like this. I bear an unshirkable responsibility for this."
"Back then, I neglected to care for you and your older brother because of the company."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenyao immediately interrupted, "Don't mention him in front of me!"
Old Master Ye acted as if he hadn't heard, and continued to speak to himself, "You hate your elder brother because you feel that I'm always praising him, right?"
Ye Wenyao retorted, "Isn't that right? Back then, no matter what my brother did, he would receive your praise, but as for me, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't earn a single word of praise from you."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Ye felt a pang of pain in his heart. "The reason I treated your eldest brother that way back then was because he was the eldest son, and he was indeed extremely talented in business, so I thought of training him to be a businessman."
You are more intelligent than your brother, and you have your own ideas. It's just that you may not have his talent in business.
Back then, every night when I passed by your room on my way home, I would see you sleeping with your head on your books, and I couldn't bear to see you studying so hard.
So I thought about the pressure on the family, and that your brother would be able to support you in the future, while you could choose the life you wanted to live.
Given that you grew up without your mother's company, all I want for you as your father is to live the carefree life you desire from now on.
Little did I expect that my decision would cause you brothers to lose the bond that should exist between you.
In the end, Old Master Ye felt an overwhelming heartache.
Seeing Old Master Ye's appearance, Ye Wenyao felt a little more reassured.
This was the first time in decades that the father and son had spoken from the heart.
Back then, in order to gain his father's approval, he often studied late into the night, just to catch up with his older brother.
It was common for students to fall asleep while studying at their desks.
At that time, he didn't know that his efforts had caught his father's attention.
Grandpa Ye paused for a moment, then continued, "And that was also your brother's idea. Back then, every time I carried you back to bed after you fell asleep, your brother would almost always appear."
One day, he found me and said he would work even harder so that the Ye family would have a place in the capital in the future.
I was relieved, but he begged me not to pressure you anymore. He said he could no longer choose how he wanted to live, and he hoped you could.
So whatever you want to learn or do, I've agreed to it all.
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenyao remained stunned for a long time.
He had no idea that so many unexpected videos had occurred while he was unaware of them.
He was even somewhat unwilling to believe it.
"Impossible, you must be trying to lie to me, that's why you're saying this."
My older brother has been gone for so many years. You think there's no way to prove it with your life, and you're trying to lie to me, right?
Old Master Ye gave a bitter smile. "I wish I had lied to you, then I would feel better."
Then, Old Master Ye took out a diary and handed it to Ye Wenyao.
"What is this?" Ye Wenyao asked, taking it.
Old Master Ye replied, "This is your brother's diary; you should recognize his handwriting."
This is something he specifically took when he went back to his old house.
Ever since his son and daughter-in-law had that accident, whenever he missed them, he would spend the night alone reading his son's diary.
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Wenyao suddenly felt an unusual heaviness in the diary.
He didn't even dare to open it to look.
Finally, it was Old Master Ye who spoke up, "Look, this is the only thing your elder brother left behind that belongs to him."
Ye Wenyao paused for a moment, then finally opened it.
"My father came home late again today, and my younger brother also stayed up late studying until he fell asleep. I need to work harder so that my father and brother won't have to work so hard."
"My younger brother got angry with me today. I don't know why. I just saw that he was too tired from doing his homework, so I thought I would let him rest. But I don't know why he got so angry."
