Elena said it lightly and easily, but in fact the three people in the car, including the driver, knew what she meant after hearing it.
Elena only planned to keep Si Xue from going to jail. As for Si Xue's career, it had been hit hard by this incident, and it was unrealistic for her to be a big star like before.
"…I only promised to help her, and this is the best I can do."
"Of course." The assistant agreed quickly: "The young lady is beautiful and kind."
…
Their car soon drove into an alley lined with sycamore trees.
It is hard to imagine that there is such a place in Beijing where every inch of land is valuable. The tall sycamore trees are lush with branches and leaves, and the fallen leaves cover the ground with gold.
There are rows of courtyards on both sides, and each courtyard has a deep closed door. The environment is quiet and peaceful, and there is a comfortable atmosphere of life everywhere.
The car didn't stop until it reached the innermost red gate. Elena rolled down the window to look at the place and knew she had arrived.
She asked her special assistant and the driver to wait in the car, she pushed the door and got out, then walked out and rang the doorbell of the old house.
There was a gap of more than ten seconds inside.
The door opened.
The old housekeeper, with his gray hair combed neatly back, came out and looked a little surprised when he saw Elena standing at his door.
But he quickly reacted, put away his surprise, and bowed slightly: "Long time no see, Miss Aina."
The last time, Elena came to the old house with Haitong, using the pseudonym, Aina.
Elena also bowed and said politely: "I'm here to see Grandpa Ye. Can you please inform him for me?"
"Just say someone is coming from the island."
The old butler had been with Ye Maoshan for many years and knew a lot of things. When he heard Elena claiming to be from the "island", he was shocked.
His expression immediately became stern. He looked at Elena and looked away: “Please wait a moment.”
"OK."
Elena was very considerate and stood waiting at the door.
The old butler turned around and went in to look for someone.
…
Around noon.
Ye Maoshan was still teasing his thrush. When he heard the old housekeeper's words, he put down the bird food in his hand and his expression quickly turned cold. "What is she doing here?"
"She didn't say."
Ye Maoshan's good mood was gone. He frowned, pursed his lips, put the bird food back on the table, and said coldly, "Let her in."
"yes."
The old butler got his approval and went to find Elena.
In less than ten minutes, he led the people to Ye Maoshan, bowed slightly and said to the two of them: "Mr. Ye, I'll go make tea."
"Miss Ina, would you like black tea or scented tea?"
"I also can."
"OK."
The old butler walked out backwards, leaving the pavilion open for the two to talk.
Ye Maoshan, wearing a Zhongshan suit, fiddled with the teacup in front of him, and gave her face because of the kinship between his grandson and the island.
"You came to see me for something?"
"I do have something to ask you." Elena admitted generously.
Ye Maoshan glanced at her and hummed indifferently, but he did not look at her with any new regard. He still maintained a polite and distant attitude. He picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip of tea, and slowly spoke.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
He thought that Elena came to him specifically to talk about the engagement that was discussed at the engagement party between the Cen and Li families yesterday.
Ye Maoshan had already prepared his excuses to reject her.
Who knew that Elena would say something else: "I came to see Grandpa Ye today because of Si Xue..."
Ye Maoshan frowned fiercely: "Who?"
Who is Si Xue
How come he had never heard of this name
Also from the island? (End of this chapter)
