When Yi Tian arrived at the old house, the family was having lunch, probably due to the return of Mr. Yi, many people came to the house, not to mention a few uncles, even the second uncle who had been staying abroad for a long time was also there.
Yi Tian walked to Mr. Yi's side, bowed his head and called grandpa respectfully, and greeted all the elders in the family, and then sat down on the chair.
Yi Haizhao said nothing with a sullen face, and he didn't even answer when Yi Tian called him. When Yi Tian was hospitalized, his mother called Secretary Jiang to the hospital, and pretended to be his wife, forcing Secretary Jiang to reveal the news about Mu Ran. Yi Haizhao lost his temper when he heard the news. If Yi Tian's mother hadn't called the old man and he was stopped by the old man, how could Yi Tian find Mu Ran.
Yi Tian's mother didn't care about Yi Haizhao, asked about Yi Tian's situation, and then turned around to give some instructions to the servants at home.
After a while, the servant brought some fish porridge, tofu soup and chicken soup from the kitchen, and Yi Tian said, "Drink some soup first, don't eat cold and spicy ones."
Yi Tian's grandfather was talking with his uncle, when he heard this, he raised his head slightly, looked at Yi Tian and asked lightly, "Is your health better?"
Yi Tian bowed his head and replied, "It's fine."
The old man nodded, "I'll let Lao Chen show it to you later." Lao Chen is the doctor that the old man brought with him, so it goes without saying that he has medical skills.
Yi Tian responded, and saw that the old man had no other questions, so he lowered his head and began to eat.
Everyone in the family knew that Yi Tian fell in love with a man, and even fought against Yi Haizhao for this man, and the relationship became extremely tense. There are a few people whose children are about the same size as Yi Tian, and there is a little eagerness on their faces. If Yi Tian continues to make trouble like this, won't his own children have a chance? With such calculations in their hearts, these people became more respectful and fawning on Mr. Yi.
Yi Tian didn't care about them, and ate with his eyes down.
After eating, Lao Chen did some simple examinations for Yi Tian, looked at Yi Tian's operation report, walked to Yi Tian's grandfather and said a few words in a low voice.
The old man frowned, and looked up at Yi Tian with displeasure in his eyes, "You are old, what should be done and what should not be done, you have to know what to do."
Yi Tian bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Yes, Grandpa."
The old man shook his head, called Yi Tian's uncle, Yi Haizhao and a few other uncles, then turned his head to Yi Tian and said, "You wait below, I will call you up later." Without waiting for Yi Tian to finish speaking After answering, he led the people into the study on the second floor.
After everyone left, Yi Tian's mother pulled him to sit down, and said in a complaining tone: "I went to find someone before the wound healed, are you in such a hurry?"
Yi Tian smiled and didn't answer, he stretched out his hand to hold his mother's hand in his palm, looked at his mother and whispered: "Mom, thank you."
Yi Tian's mother glared at him, and said unhappily: "Thank you? Thank you for stopping your dad, or invite your grandpa back? Let me tell you, I didn't say that I agreed with you to be with that person." Speaking of this, she frowned, "You are obviously a bad person, I really don't know what kind of demon you are, I have never seen you like this since I was a child..."
Yi Tian knew his mother cared about him, so he didn't say much, but said softly: "He's fine."
"What's the matter, Ningning told me that this man's tricks are not right!"
Yi Tian was taken aback for a moment, and there was some coldness in his eyes immediately. It's just that he concealed it well, and Yi Tian's mother didn't notice it, and was still saying some angry words.
The two of them didn't talk for a long time, and a servant came down from upstairs, asking Yi Tian to come up.
Yi Tian went upstairs, opened the study door, and saw the old man sitting in the middle of the study, rolling a pair of exquisite jadeite jade balls in his hands, closing his eyes and thinking about something. The old man has silver hair and a gray beard, and the deep lines between his eyebrows seem to be carved out with a wooden knife. He was tall, with a straight back, and he looked very dignified.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the old man opened his eyes and looked at Yi Tian, then raised his chin to signal him to sit down, and after waiting for a while, he said: "You have been very competitive since you were a child, and Grandpa has great expectations for you. How did you get here? Age, people are confused?"
After Yi Tian heard what he said, he didn't say much, he got up and knelt down in the middle of the room, lowered his head slightly, and said to the old man, "You have failed Grandpa's expectations."
The old man shook his head, "If you have already made a decision, then if we stop you, we will only alienate your relationship with your family. Grandpa asked you, do you still decide to be with that person?"
Yi Tian didn't hesitate for a second, nodded and said yes.
The old man frowned, closed his eyes and slowly turned the jade ball in his hand. After a while, he opened his eyes again, pushed a red seal on the table forward, and said in a calm voice: "If you still insist, then this seal will not be passed on to you. Do you understand what Grandpa means?"
Only the owner of the Yi family has that seal. There are also some key documents for the Yi family's dividends, which will not be established without the seal of the owner. Yi Tian is the most outstanding one in this generation, and the other brothers and younger brothers are mediocre. If there is no accident, the position of Patriarch has been passed on to him, which is just a matter of recent years.
The room fell silent. Some people in the room were anxious for Yi Tian, while others were waiting to see his jokes. Although Yi Haizhao didn't say anything, his hands were already clenched into fists, and the veins on his arms were bulging.
I don't know how long it took before Yi Tian's voice sounded in the room, "Understood."
The old man looked at him, the expression on Yi Tian's face remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "Grandpa, please pass the seal on to others."
As soon as his words fell, Yi Haizhao got up, grabbed the celadon teacup beside him and threw it at Yi Tian.
The same scene, the same people, time seems to go back in time. This time Yi Tian still didn't dodge, let the teacup hit his forehead, his face was still expressionless.
Yi Tian's uncle stood up and pushed Yi Haizhao back, and persuaded him a few more words.
Yi Tian's grandfather took a sip of tea, put the teacup back slowly, and then said: "I'm old, and no one takes me seriously."
Yi Haizhao's expression changed, and he yelled at the old man, "Dad..."
The old man didn't even look at him, he just said to Yi Tian: "You have to bear the consequences of the choice you make yourself, and grandpa doesn't say much. Just one sentence, no matter what, you want to have your own child, and let your parents have their own children." A hope." It is not uncommon to be a surrogate these days, the old man does not force him to start a family, but he must have a child, this is the biggest concession of the old man.
Yi Tian also knew the meaning of his grandfather's words, if he didn't agree, then the above statement would naturally be invalid. If the old man wanted to prevent him from being with Mu Ran, he would be helpless. So Yi Tian nodded and said hello to the old man.
The old man sighed slightly, looking at Yi Tian with disappointment after all. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, let's go out and treat the injury on the head."
Yi Tian nodded, stood up from the ground, bowed to the old man and several elders, and then walked out of the room.
Even if the old man is no longer in charge of the Yi family's affairs, his words still have the most weight, and it is impossible for Yi Tian's father to stop him. Yi Tian originally thought that he was going to turn upside down with his family, and was even ready to sever ties with the family. He didn't expect the old man to appear and let him solve the family's problems at the lowest cost.
It is impossible to say that Yi Tian does not want the position of Patriarch. It's just that Yi Tian also understands that the world is always fair, if you want to get something, then you have to pay something, no one can take advantage of everything. He is not a waste who can only survive by relying on the Yi family. Without the name of the head of the family, he just lost some title and power. He is also capable of living the life he wants.
But it will never be possible for him to give up Mu Ran.
