Chapter: 2027
Ye Dian nodded with a smile: "Compared to when we were younger, Aunt Ito doesn't seem to have changed much."
Ito Nana laughed heartily: "Time flies, it seems. Ten, twenty years have passed in an instant. I'm almost 50 now, so it's only natural that I wouldn't still be the same as before."
By this time, Chen Zekai had already pulled away Long Min's chair with care. As Long Min sat down, he glanced over at Ye Chen and saw that Ye Chen was still sitting in his chair, not having gotten up before Long Min took her seat, which left him feeling somewhat displeased.
According to custom, the younger generation should stand up politely when elders arrive at the dinner table. When elders speak, they must bow their heads and listen carefully; when elders sit down, the younger generation should wait until the elders have finished sitting and given a signal before taking their seat.
But Ye Chen was different - his behind seemed glued to the chair all along, not even moving an inch, let alone getting up. Long Min's heart felt irritated.
To be honest, she didn't have much of a good impression of Ye Chen.
If Ye Chen were to disappear forever and never show up again, that would be the best for her.
But little did she know that this young man had gone missing for so many years, only to pop out unexpectedly and divide Leaf Family's assets.
But what really made her unacceptable was that Old Master had given him an Empire Group and a 10 billion cash, which wasn't enough, and then wanted to let him return to the Ye family.
She looked at Ye Chen, who wore ordinary clothes, had a gentle disposition, and lacked etiquette, thinking to herself: "What qualifications does this person have to return to the Ye family? Any direct descendant of the Ye family is someone who has received aristocratic education from a young age, then studied abroad, and compared to someone like Ye Chen who only stayed in Jinling for a year, it's like heaven and earth. It would be a disaster if such an illiterate person returns to the Ye family!"
However, Long Min had mixed feelings about Ye Chen, but she couldn't refuse Old Master's will.
After all, after her divorce from her husband, she had been playing chess strategically, aiming to return to the Ye family and share in their vast assets in the future.
But as a woman who has gone through marriage, she wanted to return to her natal family and divide the assets, which was something she could never accept from the Ye family.
In this situation, if Long Min wants to get some assets, she must have Old Master's powerful support.
So, she had always been obedient to Old Master in the Ye family.
Ordinarily, she looked down on everyone and dared to defy a few people, but when it came to Old Master's will, she was always careful not to disobey.
Moreover, whenever Old Master entrusted her with something, she would do everything possible to make him happy.
So, she also reminded herself: "This time, I must definitely get Old Master's arrangements done perfectly! At the very least, I want Ye Chen to agree to return to the Ye family. And this year's New Year's reunion, I'll return to the Ye family with Old Master."
Thinking about this, she suppressed her discontent towards Ye Chen and smiled, saying, "Chen'er, you've really suffered in Jinling over these years. Everyone at home hasn't seen you for many years, and each one is very nostalgic about you. Have you ever thought about when to go back and take a look?"
"Go back and take a look?"
Ye Chen heard those four words and couldn't help but smile.
Long Min saw that he was putting on a fake smile, so she opened her mouth and said, "Chen'er, people say that when you're young and away from home for a long time, you should go back when you're old. You've been away for many years now, so it's really about time to go back and take a look."
Ye Chen nodded his head in agreement, saying, "You're right. Leaving for so long, I should make some time to go back and take a look."
As he spoke, he smiled with a twinkle in his eye and said, "Alright then, I'll arrange my schedule sometime soon, and if there's an opening, I'll go back and take a look."
Ye Chen seemed to have agreed to Long Min's proposal, but in reality, it was just a way to stall. JrNovels.com
