Chapter: 5721

He sighed: "But your father suddenly slapped them with an accusation of financial invasion, then used his influence to gather a lot of resources and gave them a warning. Later, the Rockefeller family's representative for the Asia-Pacific region went to Yanjing to visit him, but their conversation didn't go well, and he ended up getting punched in the face by your father. In the end, they left from your father's office, covering their faces and flew back to America to report to the Rockefeller family."

Ye Chen listened with his mouth agape: "Negotiations went badly and slapped the other party's ear? That doesn't seem like my dad's style at all."

An Chongqiu nodded slightly: "It's not your dad's style, but he did slap the other party's ear by hand."

Ye Chen was even more bewildered and muttered to himself: "In my impression, my dad was always a gentleman, how could he have hit someone?"

Everyone else was equally perplexed, and An Chongqiu shrugged: "At that time, the person in charge of the Rockefeller family called me here to report the situation. I also couldn't understand why your dad did it this way."

Li Yalin then curiously asked: "An Uncle, are you talking about the incident where Ye Changyuan slapped the ear of the Rockefeller family's Asia-Pacific representative? What year was that?"

An Chongqiu thought for a moment and said: "It was just before they had the problem, I think. It was because of this matter that Ye Changyuen was driven out of his family."

Li Yalin suddenly exclaimed: "He did it on purpose to anger the Rockefeller family and create opportunities for himself, making him get driven out by his own family? I think he may have sensed danger at the time and deliberately used this method to draw a line with his family!"

Or perhaps not an accident?

Even Leaf Chen couldn't understand why his father wanted to be enemies with the Rockefeller family, and even thought for a long time that he was the one who had killed his parents, thinking it was this super powerful family.

But after talking to Grandpa's family and Li Yalin today, he finally understood why his father did what he did back then. It was only to give himself a suitable opportunity and to draw a clear line with the Leaf family, even with the An family.

He and his mother were likely aware of their own danger at that time and decided to distance themselves from both families, which would have been necessary for their protection.

Grandpa An couldn't help but cry and said with a choked voice: "Those two silly kids, Long Xian and Cheng Qi, why didn't they dare not seek our help when they were in trouble... I was the father back then, and I didn't even realize they had encountered such huge danger. Even worse, I always felt resentful towards them for distancing themselves from us... Now I know that they just didn't want to burden us..."

Li Yalin consoled him: "Don't blame yourself too much, Uncle An. Long Xian and Cheng Qi were probably very clear back then that even if the An family and the Leaf family combined, they wouldn't be a match for the Clear Dawn Society... If so, how could they have burdened their families for themselves?"

"Yes..." Grandma's eyes also reddened as she lamented: "Cheng Qi has a strong personality. From a young age, whenever faced with difficulties, he would never open up to his family members. The An family's wealth was able to grow rapidly in the 20s and 30s due to her financial management in Silicon Valley... But when she went with Long Xian to Hua Xia, she didn't even bring back a single penny..."

Grandma's words left the An family with a heavy heart.

The An siblings have always been united, and for them, family is more important than money.

So, even though Cheng Qi has passed away for over 20 years now, their hearts are still unable to let go of the past.

At that moment, when everyone was silent, Aunt Ye's little niece An nodded and suddenly spoke up: "I understand why your sister and brother-in-law don't want to drag two families along. But why do they have to bring their son along too?"

Everyone was shocked by her words.

And they immediately realized that Aunt An had said the truth.

If they, as a couple, didn't even want to get tangled up with their own family in those days, then why would they take their only child along?

They might have already made up their minds to make the ultimate sacrifice back then. Even knowing they were going to die, it was still unreasonable to bring an 8-year-old Ye Chen along.

If we follow common sense, at that time, one would definitely think of sending their child away to a safer place as soon as possible.

But this couple instead brought Ye Chen with them after quarreling with the Ye family and ended up in Jinling. JrNovels.com
