Chapter: 6477
At the time, Ye Zhen didn't know that his favorite second son was already facing life-threatening danger; he only felt that the Ye family and Rossholder family were enemies, gaining no practical benefits, but rather affecting their future development on an international scale.
In order to show favor to the Rossholder family and demonstrate his intention not to be an enemy, he drove out Ye Changqing.
In reality, he was thinking of temporarily driving away Ye Changqing to prevent him from mobilizing the resources of the Ye family against the Rossholder family, while also satisfying the latter.
Moreover, he knew that at the time, the Ye family and Rossholder family were only in a commercial rivalry, and they would absolutely not extend this competition into actual opposition and harm.
In other words, this was just a normal competition between two companies, one side expressing sincerity by having their CEO removed, while the other side would not kill them secretly.
So when Ye Changqing decided to take his wife and children away from Yanjing to Jinling, Ye Zhen didn't think Jinling would be the son's final resting place; he even thought that his son was a bit too stressed during that time, going to Jinling to relax and cultivate himself was not a bad thing.
But he never expected that this trip, which was supposed to be a relaxing one, would become the beginning of a fateful separation between father and son.
In reality, they were unaware that An Chengqiao had managed to survive in Ye Changqing's intricate plan. So when the bad news reached both families, Ye Zhen was stunned and regretful for his past actions, while the An family people hated Ye Zhen with a passion.
Because the An family felt that it was all because Ye Zhen had driven away Ye Changqing and his family of three to let their daughter An Chengqiao die in a distant land, and also because Ye Chen's grandson had thus vanished from this world.
It wasn't until Ye Chen appeared that both sides finally understood what had happened. In reality, Ye Changqing's death was not caused by Ye Zhen, but rather by Ye Changqing and An Chengqiao who did not want to involve the two families and decided to be enemies with the Rossholder family, which led to their being driven out of the Ye family.
All this was part of Ye Changqing and An Chengqiao's plan, with Ye Zhen just being a pawn in their design. However, he ended up shouldering the burden for 20 years, and the An family people knew these things, so it was impossible for them to continue harboring resentment towards him.
In fact, after they learned about this, not only did their hatred towards Ye Zhen disappear, but they even felt guilty because of all the hidden hostility they had secretly harbored against him over many years.
Today, Ye Zhen came to Jinling. An Kai Shan was eager to bring his whole family together to meet at the airport, but Ye Chen vetoed this idea, saying that it wasn't suitable for the An family to make a public appearance.
However, An Kai Shan had already prepared meticulously with his wife and children at home, with the whole family working together to lay out a lavish feast. They were just waiting for Ye Chen to bring Ye Zhen over.
This time, Ye Zhen came without any accompanying personnel. Ye Chen simply took a plain BMW sedan from the airport and drove directly to the Xiangxi Li Hot Springs Villa on the outskirts of town with his grandfather.
When Ye Chen brought the car to the entrance of the villa, everyone in the An family walked out of the villa. An Kai Shan and his wife supported each other as they walked forward, followed by their four daughters, including Li Yalin, who also came out to greet them.
As Ye Zhen came to a stop, he almost simultaneously opened the car door and stepped out. Meanwhile, An Kai Shan was already taking a few quick steps forward when Ye Zhen got out of the car. He stretched out his hands first, exclaiming, "Old brother Ye, it's been so many years! It's great that you're here without any troubles!"
Ye Zhen shook hands with him and nodded slightly, saying, "Old brother An, it's great to see you too!" Their handshake had already gone up and down several times.
On the side, Ye Chen's grandmother also walked forward, politely saying, "Older brother Ye, it's been a long time!"
Ye Zhen nodded to her and smiled, asking, "Sister-in-law, how have you been all these years?"
"She's been fine," the elderly woman nodded, quickly turning to her children behind her and saying, "Don't just stand there, go greet Uncle Ye."
Ye Chen's three uncles and younger aunt also chimed in with identical greetings: "Uncle Ye is great!"
Ye Zhen nodded at the four people and smiled, saying, "You're all great, it's been so many years since we last met, you've all changed a lot."
An Chongqiu respectfully said, "Ye Bao, when we saw each other before, we were all full of vigor as young men. Now we've gradually entered the stage of middle-aged and elderly people."
Ye Zhen sighed and said, "Flowers may bloom again, but people never regain their youth. As long as one's heart remains without regret, growing old is no problem." JrNovels.com
