Chapter: 3419

She had even made the worst-case scenario plans, that if she was really forced to get a divorce, she would only be able to return to Northern Europe and then ask her aunt Olivia for help, using their sisterly bond as leverage to secure a way out for herself and her mother.

However, in an instant, another absurd idea popped up in her mind.

She thought: "Could it be that Ye Zhen is actually a skilled doctor? He was able to diagnose my illness at first glance, and maybe he also has the ability to cure me..."

Thinking this, Helena seemed to have grasped the only lifeline, silently thinking to herself: "Tomorrow, I'll definitely find a way to secretly ask him if there's any way to save me."

At this time, Ye Zhen was still at home, having a cup with Gu Yanzhong.

The two of them were drinking and chatting, with the atmosphere very lively. They didn't care that the table was empty, taking turns drinking and talking, their mood extremely good.

Lin Wanqiu couldn't help it, but she also didn't want to interrupt the two old men from having a good time, so she quickly arranged for someone to order food from a hotel and bring it back.

Gu Yanzhong's mood was excellent, and after he had drunk quite a bit, he patted Ye Zhen's shoulder and said seriously: "Ah, Zhen, today I'm really too happy! There are two reasons why my mood is so good. Do you know what they are?"

Ye Zhen laughed: "Is one of them that I came to visit?"

Gu Yanzhong chuckled: "That's definitely it! You coming here is the best thing that could happen to me!"

As he was saying this, he asked again, "And do you know the second reason?"

Ye Zhen shook his head, asking him, "Uncle Gu, don't beat around the bush."

Gu Yanzhong spoke seriously, "The second reason is that you're returning to Ye Family's ancestral hall to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony! With your abilities, I believe you have the absolute qualifications to become the future successor of Ye Family, as long as your grandfather doesn't become senile and hasn't passed on his inheritance to someone else. Only you have the qualification to inherit your father's will and elevate Ye Family to a higher level!"

Ye Zhen fell silent for a moment before speaking up, "Uncle Gu, I'm not hiding it from you, but to be honest, I don't really have any interest in inheriting Ye Family."

Gu Yanzhong asked with surprise, "Why is that?"

Ye Zhen forced a bitter smile and said, "When my father took me away from Yanjing, he had many grudges against Ye Family. At the time, I was young and didn't understand many things, but I knew my father was disappointed with Ye Family. So I also don't have any good feelings towards Ye Family."

Gu Yanzhong sighed and spoke seriously, "Ye Zhen, your father was disappointed in Ye Family because they were fundamentally at a different level from him. Your father wanted to revive Ye Family and make it the best in the world, but Ye Family was worried about his overly aggressive development strategy. If he failed, it would result in huge losses for the entire family."

As Gu Yanzhong said this, he looked at Ye Zhen with a nostalgic expression, saying, "This is like a group of people planning to climb to the top of a mountain. Your father's goal was to reach the peak, but others were afraid to die up there and wanted to give up halfway through, taking all their supplies and resources with them, completely cutting off your father's chance to continue climbing."

At this point, Gu Yanzhong picked up his cup and gulped down the liquor in it, his eyes reddening as he spoke, "Before your father decided to leave Yanjing, we were sitting together drinking wine for an entire day, just like today. However, our emotions back then were completely different from what they are now..."

As Gu Yanzhong said this, he looked at Ye Zhen with a serious expression, saying, "Ye Zhen, when your father left Yanjing, he was filled with regret. I believe that in his final moments, his heart was still filled with regret. You must inherit your father's will and become the leader of Ye Family, even if it's just for him to have a sense of fulfillment."

As Ye Zhen thought about his father leaving Yanjing, his heart ached like a knife twisting inside. He didn't want to get too involved with Ye Family because he knew that his father and Ye Family's relationship would eventually become strained, and even Ye Family would have to bear some responsibility for their parents' death.

That was why he had been avoiding Ye Family all along, trying not to get entangled with them at all. However, Gu Yanzhong's words reminded him that his father had always felt regretful about being in Ye Family. It was because back then, Ye Family had let him down!

As Gu Yanzhong said, his father died with a sense of injustice, and as the only son, he should not only seek justice for his father but also take up his banner and inherit his will! This way, he could finally bring comfort to his parents' souls in heaven.

Otherwise, even if I am as strong and wealthy as possible, if I fail to inherit his will in this one point, I can never make up for my parents' enormous regret before their death!

As he thought of this, Ye Zhen silently poured himself a full cup of white wine, grasped the wine cup with both hands, and solemnly told Gu Yanzhong: "Gu Uncle, thank you for your enlightenment! I will definitely inherit my father's will and become the master of the Ye family, making the Ye family stand tall in the world!" JrNovels.com
