When Ji Ruoxue heard this, she quickly wiped the tears on her face, walked a few steps quickly, and nodded heavily.
"In this way, within three years, you and I will never meet each other!"
"If your feelings for me still haven't changed after three years, how about I let you stay with me?"
Ji Ruoxue's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and she squeezed out a smile amid her sadness.
"Okay, then let's make an agreement. Within the next three years, I will try my best to avoid meeting you!"
"Three years later, you must keep your word and never push me away again!"
Ye Chen nodded gently: "Don't worry, I, Ye Lingtian, keep my promise. After three years, if you don't change your mind, I will let you stay with me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared into the night.
Ji Ruoxue stared at the direction Ye Chen left, her beautiful eyes flashing slightly. Although Ye Chen's attitude did not change much, she at least had an expectation at this moment.
"Three years?"
She sighed quietly, with a firm look in her eyes.
"Ice cube, I will never let you get rid of me in this life!"
"After three years, I will never be separated from you again!"
In the night, Ye Chen walked forward with his head held high. The reason why he made a three-year agreement with Ji Ruoxue was just a delaying tactic. In his opinion, Ji Ruoxue's feelings for him would have faded away after three years, and she would no longer look at him.
It becomes the whole life, and he can save himself a lot of trouble.
But he didn't expect that this agreement would become a major frustration for him in the future!
After returning to the villa and staying for one night, Ye Chen received a call from Gu Mengyao early the next morning.
"What? Your grandpa called and asked you to go back to attend his seventieth birthday?"
After hearing Gu Mengyao's first words, Ye Chen's eyes narrowed.
He once lived with Xiao He and Gu Mengyao's mother and daughter for a period of time. During that time, the three of them lived in poverty. In Ye Chen's eyes, Xiao He was gentle, virtuous, intellectually kind, and a true village woman.
Later, he left for eight years and returned to his hometown, but Xiao He had passed away, which made him feel sad, but he also learned some information, that is, Xiao He's true identity.
Xiao He was not a village woman, but the legitimate daughter of a big family in Yun Province. Just because Xiao He did not listen to the advice and followed Gu Mengyao's father and became pregnant out of wedlock, her family attacked her because they thought she had ruined the family tradition and expelled her.
Out of the door wall.
Xiao He's family asked him to sever ties with Gu Mengyao's father and abort the child. However, Xiao He resolutely chose to leave the family and live in the village with Gu Mengyao's father for the sake of his lover and children.
But she never expected that she would be abandoned by Gu Mengyao's father in the end, leaving their mother and daughter behind. After that, Xiao He was disheartened and had no face to face his family, so he raised Gu Mengyao alone.
Because of this, during the time that Ye Chen lived with them, he never heard about Xiao He's natal family, and no one ever came to visit them.
But now, Xiao He's natal family actually took the initiative to contact Gu Mengyao, which made him feel incredible.
"Brother Ye Chen, I don't know why they came to me!"
"But when my mother was still alive, she once told me that I was ashamed of my family and told me not to hate anyone over there. If I had the chance, I would go back and see my grandparents!"
"I never had the courage to go to them, but now they are contacting me and I don't know what to do!"
Gu Mengyao's voice was full of hesitation and helplessness. Although she was now a rising star in China, she was still an eighteen-year-old girl after all. Facing unfamiliar relatives, she still didn't know how to deal with herself.
"Aunt Xiao's family?"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed slightly. Xiao He was like his biological mother. She had taken good care of him. Even though Xiao He had passed away many years ago, her voice and smile still often appeared in Ye Chen's mind.
He pondered for a moment and then said: "Meng Yao, you have never seen them since you were a child. Take this opportunity to go and recognize your relatives!"
"Then, will you accompany me?"
Gu Mengyao's voice was timid, with a hint of expectation.
"Of course, since we are Aunt Xiao's relatives, I should also pay a visit!"
Ye Chen simply nodded. He was grateful for Xiao He's kindness to him, and naturally he also had considerable respect for Xiao He's family.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen leaned on the sofa, looking at the message sent by Gu Mengyao, and murmured softly.
"The first family in Yun Province, the Xiao family?"
Being the best in the same province, Ye Chen called and found Han Feng, the head of the Chengmen Han family.
"Emperor, I am really flattered that you called me!"
Hanfeng was obviously shocked when he received Ye Chen's call. He laughed heartily on the other end of the phone, with a hint of awe in his tone.
When I first met Ye Chen, Ye Chen was just a young boy who didn't even understand the masters in the martial arts world.
But just one year later, Ye Chen had already surpassed Jiutian, founded the Lingtian Group, ranked first in the China Power Ranking, and was revered as the undefeated emperor, which made him extremely sad.
Even though the Han family is sitting in a gate, overlooking Sichuan Province, in front of Ye Chen, he is undoubtedly like a baby.
"Master Han is joking, just call me Ye Chen!"
Ye Chen said calmly: "I'm calling this time because I have something to ask!"
"Tomorrow, I plan to leave for the Xiao family in Yunsheng to celebrate the birthday of the old man of the Xiao family. You should be more knowledgeable about this information than me. I want to know what the old man of the Xiao family likes best, so I can prepare it!"
"The Xiao family in Yunzhou?"
Hanfeng on the other end of the phone was obviously startled and said in surprise: "Are you talking about the Xiao family, the number one general in Yun Province?"
"Yes!" Ye Chen responded calmly, "Is there any problem?"
Han Feng was silent on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then said in a deep voice: "Mr. Ye, the Xiao family in Yun Province is amazing. It is even three points bigger than my Han family. The old man of the Xiao family once
He spent half his life as a soldier, served as a general in the Yunnan Army, and commanded half of the troops. Therefore, the Xiao family is called the Xiao family, a general family!"
"In Yun Province, the status of the Xiao family can be said to be supreme. Even the feudal officials must be polite to them. When Mr. Xiao was marching and fighting, he had countless disciples all over the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. It can be said that Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan deserved the title of "
Master of all things'!"
"Is Mr. Ye familiar with the Xiao family?"
When it comes to the Xiao family in Yunzhou, even the cold wind has to be wary.
"We're familiar with each other?" Ye Chen explained, "It's not that we're familiar with each other. This is also the first time I've been to the Xiao family. My sister Gu Mengyao is Mr. Xiao's granddaughter. I accompanied her to the Xiao family to celebrate her birthday!"
Hanfeng finally came to his senses and said solemnly: "Mr. Ye, I am going to Xiao's house now. Please listen to me!"
"Mr. Xiao once commanded a large army and was an iron-blooded military general. Although he retired immediately after the establishment of the new government, his influence has been increasing day by day for decades!"
"Especially Mr. Xiao, who is old-fashioned and doesn't know how to adapt. He has always had a stubborn temper and is always a bit paranoid about people and things. He praises anyone who catches his eye and talks happily with him. He doesn't like it.
He looks at others with a cold face and shows no mercy!"
"This time you go to the Xiao family to celebrate your birthday, it's best to go with your identity public, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes!"
Every word Hanfeng said was serious. Because of his family relationship, he had been to the Xiao family once with Mr. Han, and had a relationship with Mr. Xiao. He knew very well how arrogant and arrogant this man was. He was the member of their Han family.
In his eyes, they were all considered inferior.
For those mediocre and ordinary people, Mr. Xiao even looked down upon them. He looked down upon them as if they were nothing and looked down upon them. He was worried that Ye Chen would be despised by the Xiao family if he went to the Xiao family without reporting his identity.
