In the private room on the 18th floor of the Peninsula Hotel, an old man wearing a black Chinese tunic suit who refused to accept his old age was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass and looking out the window in ecstasy.
Dongfang Shuo, Dongfang Youruo's grandfather, is one of the only two remaining direct descendants of the Dongfang family among the four major guardian families.
"Xiao Ma, have you seen that boy from the Ye family?" After standing in front of the window and watching for a while, the old man let out a long breath, turned around and asked the middle-aged man who had been standing respectfully behind him.
"I've seen him a few times."
"What do you think?"
"Master..." The man Dongfang Shuo called Xiao Ma was called Ma Yongzhen. He had the same name as the number one tycoon in Shanghai during the Republic of China. His military strength may not be as high as that of the Republic of China, but his IQ was definitely higher than the former. Knowing that Dongfang Shuo was not very willing
The middle-aged man, who was called Xiao Ma, was a little embarrassed when he mentioned the man related to the young lady.
He was afraid that if his evaluation was too high, the old man would be unhappy, and if his evaluation was too low, it would be untrue.
"It's nothing, just tell me how you feel." Dongfang Shuo waved his hand, knowing what the pony in front of him was worried about, Dongfang Shuo moved around and said.
"Master, to be honest, this Young Master of the Ye family is not an ordinary person. Whether it is how he deals with others or his style of doing things, he is very mature and sophisticated. He is a rare young man. Whether it is in Huangcheng Root or Shanghai, I have not found it.
A young man compares to him!”
"Oh? Do you think of this guy so highly in your eyes?" Seeing Xiao Ma say this, Dongfang Shuo raised his eyebrows and said calmly.
"Yes! Master, except for some external factors, it was not a mistake for the young lady to choose her this time." Nodding, Ma Yongzhen did not dare to say anything more. He knew how stubborn the old man was on certain things.
"But you can't choose him after all! Even if he and Youruo are really a match made in heaven, it doesn't make any sense." The old man said stubbornly with a cold face.
Ma Yongzhen stood aside and did not answer. He knew very well that if he said anything at this time, the old man would yell back at him.
"It would be great if my Dongfang family could still be as glorious as it was a hundred years ago, and there would be no need for a bad old man like me to make such a decision that would hurt You Ruo." Looking out the window, Dongfang Shuo's eyes were a little blurred, and he sighed, feeling helpless.
said.
To revive the family, some sacrifices become necessary, even if Youruo is his own granddaughter.
Just when Dongfang Shuo was deep in thought, someone knocked on the door from outside.
Ma Yongzhen, who was standing aside, glanced at Dongfang Shuo and then walked over. He opened the door gently and saw Dongfang Youruo standing in front of the door with an indifferent expression, with an uninvited guest standing behind him.
Seeing Ye Huang appear, Ma Yongzhen was stunned for a moment, and then heard Dongfang Youruo's cold words.
"I asked him to come."
"Yes, miss!" Seeing that Dongfang Youruo had said so, Ma Yongzhen said nothing and turned back to Dongfang Shuo, who was still looking out the window.
"Master, the young lady and Mr. Ye are here."
"Come in." The reply was very cold and indifferent, exactly the same as Dongfang Youruo's tone just now, and Dongfang Shuo didn't seem to be surprised by Ye Huang's appearance.
As the head of the Dongfang Family, although the Dongfang Family has lost its former glory, part of its heritage still remains. It is still easy to get some information about Emperor Ye.
The latter is a passionate person. Although he does not stalk girls, he is not someone who gives up easily.
According to some information from the investigation, as long as there are women who have a relationship with this boy like you, there are not many women who can escape.
In his opinion, Huang Huang's appearance today was more about holding some illusions and wanting to bargain with him.
"I'm here. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I'm very busy!" Walking into the house, Dongfang Youruo didn't call her grandpa, but just glanced at the picture of five people including Dongfang Youruo's parents that Dongfang Shuo never left on the coffee table.
Family portrait, he said coldly.
After hearing Dongfang Youruo's words, Dongfang Shuo slowly turned around and stared at his granddaughter with a cold face.
"Is this the way you talk to grandpa?"
"Then what else do you want? For a person who deprives me of my happiness, I think it is better to have nothing!" In response to his grandfather's scolding, Dongfang Youruo said coldly without any intention of giving in, and his tone was even colder than Lian Ye's.
The emperor was surprised.
The pair of grandfather and grandson in front of me seemed not to be relatives, but rather like enemies.
At any other time, Ye Huang would have reconciled the situation with a smile, but today, Ye Huang chose to remain silent.
He knew very well that the old man in front of him did not welcome him very much, and even if he tried to smooth things over, he would probably get a blank look.
"You!" Being blocked by his granddaughter, Dongfang Shuo's face darkened, he glared at Dongfang Youruo and took a deep breath.
"You are a member of the Dongfang family. With the blood of the Dongfang family, you must know how to give up some things. I have told you this a long time ago, and you should understand."
"I understand, but it doesn't mean that I have to be sacrificed. I don't understand why the Dongfang family, with only two people left, needs you to risk your life to protect it!" Having said this, Dongfang Youruo was already a little hysterical.
Li Di, with tears streaming down his face, complained.
"My Dongfang family once gloriously honored China, how could you understand this!"
"Then you let me, a person who doesn't understand this, hold on to the glory that I don't understand. Why not let those who understand come?"
"I would like to, but we are the only two people left in the Dongfang family. Where do you want me to find others?"
"Then you want me to marry that person who only exists in legends, that man who is so illusory that even you can't touch him?"
"What does it mean to be illusory? You Ruo, it's not that grandpa is cruel, it's just a last resort. Grandpa has to do this, you have to understand!" When his granddaughter said this, Dongfang Shuo's face was very ugly, and he always looked at Ye Huang with a deep expression.
hostility.
If it weren't for the young man in front of her, her granddaughter wouldn't have such a big reaction.
"Isn't it just a family that protects the country? It's been so many years, who still remembers that there was a Dongfang family that spent their whole life just for this false reputation? If it weren't for these, my parents and grandma wouldn't have died!"
"Yes! But this is the legacy left by our ancestors. Anyone who is a member of the Dongfang family must abide by it!"
"What a legacy from our ancestors. I wonder what my ancestors will say when they find out that only the young and old are left in the Dongfang family. I wonder how my grandpa will explain to his ancestors a few decades later?"
"The title of the protector family is more important, or the family inheritance is more important. Grandpa, maybe you have put the cart before the horse..." Looking at his grandfather with a sneer, Dongfang Youruo's eyes revealed not warmth, but a kind of determination.
