Chapter 658: Suffocating

ived, felt more confident. He puffed out his chest and pointed at Ye Fan's nose: "This Chinese pig bumped into me and ran away from doing work..."Before he could finish his sentence, Ye Fan slapped hi...Ye Fan coldly stared at these people, watching them all become honest. He turned his gaze to the fat man, who nodded knowingly. Only then did he help Si Kong Huan walk towards the small building.

Those outside received icy stares and were left out in the cold, but Si Kong inside was treated to a reception of no small scale.

When Sikong entered the room, Ye Wu Dao was standing with his back to the door, gazing intently at a painting on the wall. It was Ye Fan's deliberate emphasis on his footsteps that pulled Ye Wu Dao out of his trance. He turned around and saw Sikong, hurrying a few steps forward, clutching Sikong's hand tightly, and said emotionally: "Brother, after so many years, I'm glad to see you well."

Si Kong also seemed very excited, "Brother, we haven't seen each other for more than twenty years. I didn't expect that when we meet again, you are still as handsome as ever, while I am already old!"

Suddenly, Si Kong remembered a phrase Ye Wu Ming, the head of the Ye family, had said to him yesterday. He hadn't expected that he would be able to say it himself so soon. In this situation, besides this one sentence, he couldn't think of anything else to express the feelings in his heart.

Thinking back, when they made a pact, Ye Wudao was a year older than him and called him Big Brother. However, twenty years had passed, he himself was now old and frail, while his Big Brother remained as vibrant and youthful as ever. If he were to return to Yanjing again, perhaps another tumultuous battle for dominance among the wealthy families would ensue

"Yes, over these twenty years, we've all grown older, little brother. All these years, you've given so much to the Ye family, especially for Xiaofan's sake!"

SIKONG looked displeased and said, "Big brother, what are you saying When I think about what happened back then, I feel ashamed every time. Back then, I didn't have the ability to stand up for you, which led to your current situation..."

Ye Wudao burst into hearty laughter, saying with a grand air, "The journey ahead may be arduous, but we shall take the first step forward anew. Let us not dwell on past events, for today we are here to celebrate brotherhood!"

“That’s natural,” Elder Brother Sikong didn’t show any of the disheartened feelings he had when leaving Yanjing all those years ago. Knowing that he had let go over the years, he went straight to the point and said, “Big brother, I won’t beat around the bush. This time, I came here on someone’s behalf. As you know, I received great kindness from the Ye family back then, and I must repay it! So this time, without your consent, I brought the descendants of the Ye family here. Although the Ye family was wrong to you back then, they were forced to do so. And over the years, the Ye family has been in dire straits. You should know their intentions by now. Regardless, since they came with sincerity, as an elder, we should always give the younger generation a chance to redeem themselves.”

Was the Ye family wrong back then No, of course not!

Even at this point, Ye Wu Ming, the head of the Ye family, would still say such things. If he were given another chance to redo everything, he would without hesitation choose to abandon Ye Wudao!

Because he was the head of the Ye family, the burden on his shoulders was too heavy! He had to consider the family, just like now, for the sake of the family, he did not hesitate to put down these old faces and beg Ye Wudao to return.

This is indeed the tragedy of politics. Even if you are a prominent and powerful family, you cannot escape the rules of fate. Since it is a rule, it must be obeyed. No one should try to break it!

Ye Wudao did not answer immediately. Instead, he made a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Sikong, and then made one for himself. As he watched the chrysanthemums swirling in his teacup, a thought struck Ye Wudao's mind - a woman of exceptional character. It was this woman who had patiently taught him how to make chrysanthemum tea day by day back then. The building remained the same as it was then, and the people were still the same, but Xiao Hua, where are you now

Siku also lightly savored the chrysanthemum tea. In Yanjing, not many people had the opportunity to drink tea brewed by the eldest brother himself, and he was one of them.

Ye Wudao took a sip of tea lightly and said softly, "Since it's someone you brought, brother, let's meet."

Alas, the old man seems to still be ruled by emotions just like in the past! He could have just ignored the people from the Ye family...

Ye Fan sighed inwardly, pulled open the door, and shouted to the person outside: "Old man, please let the Ye family members in."

Ye Shouxin hurried in and bowed to Ye Wudao, who was seated at the head of the table: "Junior Ye Shouxin pays his respects to the two elders."

"Greetings, Second Grandfather!" Ye Qingcheng curtsied politely to Ye Wudao.

"Well well, big brother, it's been twenty years. Your little sister has grown up so much." Ye Wudao chuckled, sounding like a kind old grandfather.

No matter what, he bears the surname Ye and his blood runs with the Ye family. It was Ye Wuming who drove him out of the Ye family back then. He has nothing to do with these younger generations, so there is no need for him to make things difficult for them.

"Seen the second..." Ye Shuyi's attempt to call him "Second Master" faltered. He thought to himself, I'm the Second Master of the Ye family!

Ye Wu Dao didn't even glance at Ye Shou Yi. Even when he was still in the Ye family, he never liked Ye Shou Yi. This kid had a devious mind and wasn't on the same path as him.

"Second Master, you don't know how much the Ye family has suffered these years since you left. My father, his health is getting worse day by day, I'm afraid he doesn't have much time left. But he keeps mentioning that he's sorry to you and only wants to see you one last time before he dies. Please, Second Master, if you have time, come back to our Ye family!" Ye Shouxin was almost crying his eyes out.

Ye Shuyi stared in disbelief at his elder brother. "Haven't we always been the ones calling the shots in Beijing these past few years How could it be as bad as you say"

Ye Wudao remained unfazed, calmly replying: "What's there to see I'm no longer a member of the Ye family. Why would I go back I don't want to bring up the past either. Who is who no longer matters. If your father truly missed me, why didn't he come himself this time but instead sent you young ones"

“This…” Ye Wudao’s tone wasn’t heavy, but the content of his words was like a huge stone pressing down on Ye Shouxin’s chest. Ye Shouxin froze in place. What could he say Was he going to say that his father was unwilling to humble himself and beg someone because he still cared about his face

"Brother…" Sikong, after all, was entrusted by someone. He didn't want Ye Ning and the others to feel too embarrassed, so he wanted to remind his brother.

Ye Wudao sighed and waved his hand. "Forget it, I don't want to dwell on the past anymore. Originally, I had nothing to do with you little ones. This time, your purpose is clear to me, but I can tell you clearly that I will not go back. From the moment he drove me out of the Ye family that year, I will never set foot in the Ye family for the rest of my life!"

The atmosphere in the house was oppressive, so heavy that it made one want to suffocate.g along"Yànwúqiè suddenly turned his head and asked."All the information has been found. Ye Fan attends Linhai University. The people involved with her include Li Qiang, the young master of the Li fam...
