Chapter: 1693

Cui Yanzhong laughed and said, "Older brother, I never thought that you would waste so many years under my protection, becoming more and more decadent. You've really lived in vain for over 40 years!"

Cui Yanzhong's expression changed, and he asked subconsciously, "What do you mean? Don't try to hide anything from me here, just say what you want to say!"

Cui Yanzhong nodded slightly, saying, "Alright then! I'll say it straight out!"

Having said that, Cui Yanzhong stood up and spoke with an air of superiority, "Do you remember my sworn brother? Without him, the Cui family wouldn't be where it is today. Even when our old master was still alive, he treated him like a respected guest, showing respect to him like that. At that time, you were just a half-bottle wine and a jade-like nephew, our old master didn't let you get close to my sworn brother because of his reputation, afraid that you would ruin the Cui family's face in front of him. My sworn brother's surname is what?"

Cui Yanzhong had already forgotten Leaf Chen's father for many years, since the deceased are often forgotten by their relatives after some time, not to mention that he and Leaf Chen's father didn't have any connection.

Back then, Cui Yanzhong just watched his older brother swear an oath with the Ye family's brightest star, feeling envious and jealous inside, but after Ye Chen's father passed away, he gradually forgot about it.

However, now that his older brother is pointing him out directly, a memory suddenly popped up in his head of that charming, dashing figure.

When he heard his older brother's final question, he subconsciously said, "I remember him. He was from the Ye family and was the strongest back then."

As soon as he mentioned this, his whole body suddenly became like being struck by lightning, staring fixedly at Ye Chen with wide eyes that seemed to be stretched to their limits!

This momentary overlap between two figures twenty years apart in time overlapped in his mind.

He only just realized that the young man standing before him, exuding a fierce aura, was surprisingly similar to that charismatic young man from back then!

Thinking about how Ye Chen shares the same surname as the Ye family and has such a close relationship with his own older brother, he suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning, stuttering and pointing at Ye Chen while asking in a trembling voice: "Big Brother, is this really the son of Longyuan's second uncle, Ye's Second Uncle?"

Ye's Second Uncle refers to Ye Chen's father, Ye Longyuan!

The phrase "Longyuan" takes its meaning from a classic poem: "Today I have Longyuan in my hand, when will I be able to bind the celestial dragon?"

And Ye Longyuan is meant to imply that the Ye family has a child who can bind the celestial dragon!

As for him, he was ranked second among the children of the Ye family during those years.

Although not the eldest son, his abilities were the strongest in the Ye family, and at a young age, he could already manipulate the threads of commerce, making decisions that spanned thousands of miles!

Under his leadership, even the Ye family was able to rival the Rockefeller family from Europe and America over several hundred years' worth of history, eventually forcing their opponents to concede!

In those years, countless second-generation rich kids in Yanjing treated him as their idol!

Countless first-generation wealthy individuals would look up to him with admiration and sigh, "Ah, how can one compare to Ye Longyuan?"

--No one else could be a better match for Ye Longyuan than the best candidate among the thousands of eligible bachelors!

"Get married like Ye Longyuan," this was the most well-known phrase in Yanjing's high-society circles at that time!

Who would have thought that all the good daughters from hundreds of families were seeking him, and who had ever seen such a big crowd of good sons vying for his attention?!

At that time, many big shots from the business world would proactively visit Ye's house, hoping to marry off their own daughters to Ye Longyuan; the number was incalculable!

Cui Yanzheng couldn't help but think back to those days when Ye Longyuan shone like a solitary star, covering all his peers in Yanjing. JrNovels.com
