Ye Keji was secretly shocked by the generous betrothal gifts from the old man and Ye Lan, and then he thought of Qiao Nian's background whom he had met in the illegal area.
He suddenly calmed down again.
After the old housekeeper left, Ye Keji touched his nose and said, "Mr. Ye, are you planning to break up with the island?"
Ye Keji is one of the few people in the Ye family who knows the secret of Ye Wangchuan's life.
He didn't know much, only that the power behind Ye Wangchuan's biological mother was mysterious and difficult to deal with, similar to the big guys in the gray area that he usually dealt with in the independent continent and illegal areas. Even the general public didn't know that the underground world had a more terrifying voice.
Ye Keji himself did not quite approve of Mr. Ye's approach.
He is a pacifist personally, advocating that everyone develop in harmony and not offending anyone easily unless it is absolutely necessary.
This was also his way of survival in the Ye family, supporting him to move step by step from an inconspicuous side branch to a position valued by Mr. Ye.
"Actually..." Ye Keji organized his words: "Mother and son don't hold grudges overnight. There's just a misunderstanding between Young Master Ye and his biological mother, and we can talk it out. It's too disrespectful to slap them in the face, and it will only make the gap between us bigger and bigger. I don't think it's necessary... You also intend to let Young Master Ye get along with them in harmony, so that if anything happens in the future, they can still help Young Master Ye out of blood ties..."
"I have decided."
Ye Maoshan raised his hand to stop him from continuing: "The Ye family didn't get to where they are today by begging for mercy. People should have backbone! My initial thought was indeed the same as what you said. I thought that they would be able to help Wangchuan a hundred years after me. It is better to have more friends than more enemies. But if the prerequisite is that Wangchuan and I must break our bones and bend our spines, there is no need! I have been through so many life and death situations and never bowed my head to anyone. If they insist on making a fuss with the Ye family, we will not cause trouble, but we are not afraid of it. Do you understand?"
Ye Keji said solemnly: "I understand, Mr. Ye."
Ye Maoshan lost interest in playing chess and waved his hand to let him go back: "It's late, you should go back. I'll play chess with you another day when I'm free."
"Okay." Ye Keji nodded and walked out.
Ye Maoshan looked at his back as he left, raised his hand to his forehead, deep vertical wrinkles appeared between his brows, and it was not as relaxing as he said it was as if he felt like a huge stone was pressing on his heart.
"Why."
He sighed and went inside to wash up.

the next day.
The news that Si Xue was taken away by the police for investigation late last night topped the front pages of major portals and even spread to the outside world.
There were also many people on Facebook and Instagram who were wondering about the trouble caused by the Gtwe dinner. They were very interested in the female celebrity who was brought to the police station and dug up a lot of news related to Si Xue.
HL Media's PR department followed the boss's instructions and deleted as many posts as possible to suppress the popularity. After a busy day, the popularity of the external network was suppressed, but they had no control over the popularity in China.
Elena stayed at home for the whole morning, watching the online turmoil escalate and more of Si Xue's dark history being exposed.
And Weibo has no intention of removing the trending search at all.
She had to call the driver again to go out.
Around noon.
Her car slowly arrived at the gate of the Ye family's old house and stopped. Elena got out of the car and asked Tongchuan to see Ye Maoshan again.
This time it was the old butler who came forward to meet her.
The old housekeeper, like last night, was wearing a Zhongshan suit and looking at his nose and eyes and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Aina, Mr. Ye has gone out."
