"Thank you, grandpa."
Chen Xiurui's words rang in his ears, and Chen Xiurei felt warm in his heart as he felt the care from Chen Xiurui.
In that parallel world, he had no grandfather or father, and lived with his mother Fang Lan.
After coming to this world, the beginning was the same.
However--
Now, the old man of the Chen family, who holds a high position, personally takes Chen Ye home and announces his and the Chen family's attitude to the world in a high-profile manner!
Moreover, Chen Ye understood that this love and care had little to do with his abilities.
If not, Chen Xiurui would not have attended the funeral of Mr. Chen Ye, let alone go south to support Chen Ye's platform against the Gao family.
This gave Chen Yimei a real feeling of going home.
"Silly boy, what do you say thank you to grandpa?"
Chen Xiurui smiled slightly.
"Jingle Bell--"
At this moment, the red landline phone on the desk rang.
Chen Xiurui raised his eyebrows, turned and walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and the secretary's voice came from the receiver:
"Chief, Mr. Xiao called, will you answer the call?"
"Turn around."
When Chen Xiurui heard this, his heart moved and he spoke.
"Yes, Chief!"
The secretary took the order and quickly transferred the call.
"Old Chen, will you be busy at this time?"
Xiao Ziyu's grandfather Xiao Zhiyuan asked.
"I'm chatting with my grandson. Lao Xiao, it's so late, please call me. Is there anything wrong?"
Chen Xiurui answered first and then asked.
"I want to talk to you about something, and it happens to be related to your grandson Chen Ye. Well, I will go to your place and talk to you face to face."
Xiao Zhiyuan said.
He just received two calls one after another.
A phone call was made by Xiao Ziyu's father, Xiao He. The latter reported the conversation with Xiao Ziyu and highlighted Xiao Ziyu's attitude - unwilling to keep a distance from Chen Ye, and stated that Chen Ye did not care about the consequences!
The second call was made by the secretary, who reported that Chen Ye took Chen Xiurui's special car to the Chen family compound.
After Xiao Zhiyuan received these two calls, he thought about it and decided to talk to Chen Xiurui about Chen Ye and Xiao Ziyu.
after an hour.
Xiao Zhiyuan came to the Chen family compound alone without his secretary.
He was led by Chen Xiurui's secretary to the inner courtyard of the Chen family compound.
Chen Xiurui and Chen Ye stood at the door of the study room in the inner courtyard to greet him.
"Chen Ye, this is your Grandpa Xiao."
Chen Xiurui took the initiative to greet him and introduced him to Chen Ye.
After he answered the phone, he told Chen Ye that Xiao Zhiyuan was coming here, and he also knew the purpose of Xiao Zhiyuan's coming - for Xiao Ziyu.
"Grandpa Xiao."
Chen Ye took the initiative to say hello.
"Hello, Chen Ye."
Xiao Zhiyuan nodded slightly and called Chen Ye by his name.
This detail made both Chen Xiurui and Chen Ye realize something.
"Old Xiao, let's go in and chat, please."
Chen Xiurui calmly made an invitation gesture, and then led Xiao Zhiyuan and Chen Ye into the study.
The secretary followed at the end, made tea for the three of them, left silently, and closed the door to the study.
"Old Chen, you have a good grandson. He is young, has amazing martial arts talents, and his martial arts is shocking. This time, the Ninja Nation's martial arts delegation came with bad intentions. If it weren't for your grandson Chen Ye's decisive battle, not only It will be difficult for the Town Watch Night and Xia Watch organizations to explain, and the Xia Kingdom's martial arts community will also be humiliated. It is not an exaggeration to say that your grandson is a hero in the Xia Kingdom's martial arts community."
Xiao Zhiyuan took a sip of tea and spoke first, giving Chen Ye high praise and even praise.
"Zhiyuan is overrated."
Chen Xiurui responded with a smile. He didn't feel like a big shot in a high position, but like an ordinary old man who felt happy when he heard someone praising his grandson.
"Chen Ye, I want to know, what is your relationship with Tzuyu now?"
Xiao Zhiyuan spoke again, and the conversation changed quickly, directly to Xiao Ziyu.
This is also the main purpose of his coming today.
"She and I are friends."
Chen Ye thought for a while and gave the answer.
"friend?"
Xiao Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression slightly complicated.
Because, based on the available information, he believed that the relationship between Chen Ye and Xiao Ziyu went far beyond the scope of ordinary friends.
However, Chen Ye's answer to his friend was, in his view, both a cover-up and a lack of responsibility.
"Old Xiao, why did you come here so late because of Ono and Ziyu's affairs?"
Chen Xiurui took the initiative to open the window and speak frankly.
"Um."
Xiao Zhiyuan nodded and said: "Old Chen, you know very well that Ziyu and Zhao Tianming have an engagement. Moreover, this engagement was made by Zhao Tianming's grandfather himself."
"No one in the entire government and the public knows about this, right?"
Chen Xiurui asked with a smile.
"Yes. Everyone in the government and the public knows about this marriage. Therefore, Tzuyu's every move has attracted much attention."
Xiao Zhiyuan said and turned his eyes to Chen Ye again,
"Chen Ye, Ziyu is very close to you now. Everyone sees this matter. This has a great impact on her and the Xiao family, as well as you and the Chen family. I am here today I came here just to chat with you, and I hope you can keep a distance from Tzuyu and avoid being gossiped about."
"Old Xiao, let the young people handle their own affairs."
Chen Xiurui took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.
Um?
Hearing Chen Xiurui's words in shock, Xiao Zhiyuan's pupils suddenly shrank and he looked at Chen Xiurui in surprise.
It seems that he did not expect that Chen Xiurui would support Chen Ye in this matter.
After all, if the marriage between Zhao Tianming and Xiao Ziyu goes awry because of Chen Ye, the Chen family is equally responsible as the Xiao family.
"Grandpa Xiao, I want to know, is this your intention or Xiao Ziyu's?"
At this moment, Chen Ye suddenly asked.
"I won't hide it from you. Ziyu's father has talked about this matter with her, but she is unwilling to keep a distance from you. The elders of the Xiao family and I hope that you can keep a distance."
Xiao Zhiyuan gave the answer with a very firm attitude.
"Grandpa Xiao, if it's Xiao Ziyu's intention, I definitely have no objection to it, but since it's your Xiao family's intention, then I don't agree."
Chen Ye simply refused.
"Why?"
Xiao Zhiyuan frowned and stared at Chen Ye, the displeasure in his heart showing directly on his face.
"Because, I once had someone send a message to Zhao Tianming to give him a cuckold known to the world. I also promised Xiao Ziyu that I would go to Beijing to rob Zhao Tianming on the day of her wedding!"
Chen Ye spoke again and his words were shocking.
Uh-huh!
In an instant, Xiao Zhiyuan's expression changed.
He looked at Chen Ye with a ghostly look on his face, as if he was asking, is Chen Ye making an international joke?
Not only him, but also Chen Xiurui looked at Chen Ye in surprise, thinking that Chen Ye's idea was too shocking!
"Chen Ye, do you know what you are talking about?"
Xiao Zhiyuan's expression became a little gloomy.
Originally, he thought that he would come there in person, and let Chen Ye take the initiative to stay away from Xiao Ziyu with love and reason, but Chen Ye did this to him.
"Grandpa Xiao, this is the agreement between Xiao Ziyu and I, and it is also my promise to her!"
Chen Ye replied.
"Chen Ye, let's not talk about whether the Xiao family and I will object to the matter between you and Ziyu. You just heard that the marriage contract between Ziyu and Zhao Tianming was made by the old man of the Zhao family himself!"
Xiao Zhiyuan said word by word with a cold face.
"I learned that early on."
Chen Ye said.
"Then you still have such ridiculous ideas? Don't you know the consequences of provoking and offending the Zhao family elders? Or are you confident that the Zhao family elders will personally change their words and cancel the engagement?!"
Xiao Zhiyuan was a little angry. He felt that Chen Ye was too courageous, even lawless!
"Who can guarantee what will happen in one year?!"
Chen Ye asked back.
"——"
Xiao Zhiyuan was speechless for a moment.
Because, he thought about the things that the young man had caused trouble in the past period of time.
Everything was earth-shattering.
Every time, everyone was not optimistic about him, thinking that he would fail or even lose his life, but he always made a magical comeback and is still alive and well.
"Old Chen..."
After the silence, Xiao Zhiyuan looked at Chen Xiurui again, hoping that Chen Xiurui could put the overall situation first and stop Chen Ye from messing around.
"Lao Xiao, no matter what Xiaoye does, as long as he doesn't break the law or violate any rules, I will support him!"
Chen Xiurui interrupted Xiao Zhiyuan's words and expressed his stance on the spot with a firm tone!
"you……"
Xiao Zhiyuan was shocked and angry. He stood up directly and said to Chen Ye with a dark face:
"Chen Ye, I admit that you are very good and very capable, but I still advise you to give up your illusions. After one year, let alone the old man of the Zhao family, even I will not agree to your nonsense!"
"Grandpa Xiao, let me express my opinion."
Chen Ye also stood up and said word by word:
"Unless Xiao Ziyu gives up on this matter, I will definitely go to Beijing to get married in a year!"
"Okay, okay, okay, I want to see why you do it!"
Xiao Zhiyuan laughed in anger, said three good words in a row, and then walked away.
"On my own."
Chen Ye spoke calmly, not only to respond to Xiao Zhiyuan, but also to tell Chen Xiurui that this matter would not involve the Chen family!
…
Some people died, but not completely...
