Chapter: 3443

So, Ye Chen also smiled slightly and said politely, "Thank you, auntie."

Actually, it was the quiet little aunt, Ye Changmin, who stood next to her, saying nothing yet already with tears streaming down her face.

When Uncle introduced her, her tears had already burst forth, pulling Ye Chen's hand as she cried and choked back sobs: "Chestnut child, this time you mustn't leave again……"

As Ye Chen gazed at the little aunt, who was probably around 40 years old, Ye Chen couldn't help but recall her childhood.

Little Aunt Ye Changmin was a whole generation older than herself. When they were young, she was the big kid and he was just a little boy.

Back then, he was very clingy to her because she would always bring him back home from school to play together.

And she was also very fond of his dad because among all the older brothers and sisters, her relationship with Dad was the best.

Little Aunt Ye Changmin was pampered by her father when she was young. She was basically treated like a daughter, and everything she wanted would be given to her. Although there was a significant age gap between them, their relationship was indeed very harmonious.

In Leaf Qing's memory, Little Aunt Ye Changmin had a lively and outgoing personality, without the many subtle thoughts that Ye Changmin had.

Back then, Ye Changmin intentionally distanced herself from Dad Ye Changang because she felt that in the future, Ye Changang would definitely be the heir of the Ye family. So, she had already developed a sense of loyalty to her family.

On the other hand, Ye Shou had never had such complex thoughts.

When Leaf Qing followed his parents to leave home, Little Aunt Ye Shou was studying abroad at that time, and Leaf Qing's memory of her still remained in the scene when she graduated from high school and everyone saw her off at the airport.

At that time, Little Aunt Ye Shou was still a young girl, while now she had already entered adulthood without worrying about anything.

Seeing Little Aunt's genuine emotions, Leaf Qing couldn't help but feel a pang of nostalgia, speaking respectfully: "Little Aunt, please don't worry. This time I'm back to acknowledge my roots, and even if I temporarily leave Yanjing in the future, I won't cut ties with the Ye family."

Leaf Qing's words had already become very clear.

After this trip to the Ye family, Leaf Qing would definitely return to Jinling, but he had already formally acknowledged his roots, and from now on, he would officially become a member of the direct lineage of the Ye family.

This conversation, heard by Leaf Qing and Ye Changshou, naturally brought them great joy. However, others who listened felt very uncomfortable in their hearts.

Leaf Qing's acknowledgment of his roots means that there will be one more competitor in future battles over family properties.

After Grandpa took a walk with Leaf Qing and these elder relatives, the remaining people were those who were on an equal footing with Leaf Qing.

The oldest is Ye Fong, followed by Ye Hao, and then several younger siblings.

Except for Ye Fong and Ye Hao, the rest of these pampered and privileged second-generation heirs didn't feel anything about Leaf Qing, who had been away from home for 20 years. They just exchanged superficial greetings with him.

Seeing that everyone had already recognized Leaf Qing, Ye Zhongquan glanced at his watch, beaming with excitement, saying, "It's a great thing that the child has come back. Let's go inside and sit down, and we'll have a good old time reminiscing together. Time is almost up, and it's time for relatives from outside to visit as well."

Seeing Grandpa's instructions, everyone followed him into the main hall of Ye Family Mansion.

Helen had been following Leaf Qing all along, hoping to find an opportunity to speak privately with him, but seeing the current situation was not possible, so she could only temporarily give up.
