Chapter: 3396
As a direct descendant of the Ye family, Ye Chen must return to the Ye family and serve the interests of the Ye family.
Moreover, Ye Chen is recognized as the future son-in-law by the Gou family; from this perspective alone, Ye Chen's importance to the Ye family becomes even greater.
So, Ye Zhongqian planned this time, regardless of whether Ye Chen was willing to return to the Ye family, as long as he came, he would do everything possible to keep him.
Moreover, this time Ye Zhongqian had already prepared well.
He plans to arrange some photographers to participate in the ancestral worship ceremony on that day and let them take some photos and videos of the ceremony, then select the most effective ones to be released to the media.
That way, not only could he showcase the strength and prestige of the Ye family to the whole nation, but also expose Ye Chen and other descendants of the Ye family together.
He felt that once Ye Chen's identity as a member of the Ye family was exposed, he would no longer be able to return to his previous identity as an orphaned Ye Chen.
Thinking this, he gathered his family members and couldn't help but open his mouth with excitement: "Ahaha, Chen'er has already arrived in Yanjing! He will arrive in about two hours! He left home nearly 20 years ago and is finally coming back! This is truly a great good fortune for our Ye family that we haven't seen in over ten years!"
Originally, Ye Changming's face was still calm, but when he heard Ye Chen's words, his whole person couldn't help but shudder.
Ye Chen's uncle, Ye Changkong, spoke up at this time: "Dad, you're getting a bit too excited, aren't you? Of course, Ye Chen's return is good news, but it can't be called a great good fortune for our Ye family that we haven't seen in over ten years!"
Ye Zhongqian smiled and said calmly: "Chen'er has untold potential."
"I don't understand?" Ye Changkong said with a hint of disdain: "At the end of the day, isn't Ye Chen just doing some small tricks in Jinling? Indeed, I've heard that he has gotten to know a few people outside, but ultimately it's still not something that can be displayed on the surface. He seems to be getting along well in Jinling, and when he arrives in Yanjing, he'll probably have no chance to adapt."
"It's true, grandfather." Ye Changming's son, also Ye Chen's cousin, Ye Feng, spoke up at this time: "Grandfather, I know you want Ye Chen to return home and give him thick hope, but I'll tell you a straightforward truth - in Yanjing, there isn't really any space for Ye Chen to develop."
He continued to analyze seriously: "Take my own circle of friends as an example. Who among them doesn't have multiple years of studying abroad, having seen many things and gained broad knowledge? Many are PhDs from top universities, while others hold master's degrees from foreign countries. Ye Chen only attended college for a year and didn't even earn his undergraduate degree - how can he fit in with these circles?"
Ye Feng's cousin, also Ye Chen's cousin, Ye Hao, spoke up at this time: "Yes, grandfather, Ye Chen may be a member of the Ye family, but ultimately, he doesn't really belong to our circle."
"I'm saying it straight out - he's just a low-ranking group in front of the Ye family. I think you're still holding out too much hope for him because the more hope there is, the greater the disappointment will be!"
Ye Zhongquan looked at the group of people before him, shaking his head lightly.
He knew that these people lacked understanding of Ye Chen and were worried that after Ye Chen returned, he would divide their existing interests. So they would say such things to confuse everyone's view.
But as a cunning old fox, how could he be influenced by these people?
Only two people in the Ye family know Ye Chen's true abilities.
Among them, Ye Changmin knew some things, while Ye Zhongquan knew even more.
After Ye Changmin was beaten by Ma Lan in Jinling and then kidnapped by Shuo Changan and his father Shuo Haolong, Ye Chen told her about some of his affairs right in front of her.
These included curing a serious illness that had reached the bone marrow, killing off Wu's eight great generals, and even helping the Ito family win in Japan during a chaotic battle.
And besides knowing these things, Ye Zhongquan also knew that Ye Chen could single-handedly infiltrate Syria from the opposition base to rescue a woman, or capture Su Shoudao on his own and send him away to Syria.
Ye Zhongquan even knew that Ye Chen had gone to Syria again just two days ago, in the midst of chaos, and brought back Su Shoudao with him. JrNovels.com
