Chapter: 3554

Ye Longmin's brain reacted quickly, and she immediately knelt down while adjusting her direction with both knees, looking at the Ye family ancestral tomb not far away.

Then, with a loud thud, she struck her head on the ground, crying and saying: "Ancestors and predecessors are above! I, the unworthy descendant Ye Longmin, today failed to put our ancestors' honor and the Ye family's interests first, and was almost willing to betray our ancestors for personal gain. It is truly a shame against our ancestors and predecessors, and I do not deserve to live!"

Ye Longmin had completely humbled herself.

All dignity, all face, all royal airs, and all babyish temper were utterly gone in this moment.

She knew that the most important thing now was to win Ye Chen's forgiveness, or else one sentence from him could immediately make her, a married-out daughter of the Ye family, kicked out of the family.

In that case, she would be like a basket hitting water - all for nothing.

Ye Chen saw Ye Longmin behaving so submissively and had a good laugh inside.

However, he nodded slightly with approval on his face and began speaking: "You have admitted your mistake first and are willing to make amends before our ancestors and predecessors. This shows that you are more self-aware than others. Since this is the case, it should be handled leniently!"

As soon as Ye Chen spoke, Ye Long, Ye Peng, Ye Chun, and Ye Hao, among others, flew quickly towards the Ye family ancestral tomb, each trying to occupy the central position and kneel down with a loud thud, not saying a word before beginning to pay homage by pounding their heads.

At this point, these people were pounding their heads in rhythm, looking just like those machines used to extract oil from rocks, which are commonly known as head-pounding devices. Ye Chen remained silent, only staring expressionlessly at them as they frantically pounded their heads in repentance.

Ye Chen was clear-minded about this; Auntie Ye Longmin had genuinely acknowledged her mistakes, and once she did, she would naturally be able to remain with the Ye family to serve them. However, these people were all brimming with shame and couldn't just let it go! They kept pounding their heads, getting more and more painful as they went along.

They originally thought that as long as they showed enthusiasm and a devout attitude, Ye Chen would definitely treat them leniently, just like he treated Auntie Ye Longmin. But unfortunately, everyone had been pounding their heads for half a day now, and Ye Chen hadn't said a word yet.

Helpless, no one dared to stop; they could only keep pounding their heads, each one pounding away with their forehead turning blue and purple. It was only Little Auntie Ye Chun who couldn't take it anymore, opening her mouth to say, "Chen-er...you guys are going to hurt yourselves if you keep this up..."

Ye Chen shook his head and said blandly, "Don't worry, little aunt. These people, one by one, are all wimps afraid of death. That's why they couldn't stay behind last night to buy mourning clothes! If each one is so afraid of death, how can they just kill themselves here? It doesn't make sense."

As he spoke, Ye Chun's head-pounding clearly slowed down a bit; it was obvious that he was just going through the motions. So Ye Chen said coldly, "Little aunt, have you seen Ye Peng pounding his head? His forehead is so close to the ground it's like he's kissing it, and there's no sign of effort whatsoever!"

Ye Fang's face turned cold with shock upon hearing this; he quickly pounded his head vigorously, wincing in pain with his teeth clenched and mouth agape!

Ye Chen turned to look at Ye Zhongquan and asked, "Grandpa, what are the various responsibilities within the Ye family currently handled by which individuals?"

Ye Zhongquan said, "The core businesses of the Ye family are primarily handled by the management team. Initially, your dad was worried that family members lacked education and skills, so he insisted on setting up a team of professional managers from top-tier business schools and consulting firms."

"Besides this, we also have a very professional elite lawyer team handling all legal affairs for the Ye family."

"Oh, by the way, besides these two blocks, there's also a trust team responsible for investing and managing the cash that's not being used within the family trust."

Ye Chen pointed to the row of people kneeling on the ground pounding their heads and asked, "These people don't do anything?"

Ye Zhongquan shook his head. "If we really left them in charge, we'd be done for! They're all just figureheads with titles like vice-chairman, CEO, or managing director, but they don't actually need to handle business decisions." JrNovels.com
