Jinling is the capital center of Jiangsu Province. It is not too far from Wanjiang City in Nan Province and can be reached in three hours.
The Ye family lived in the eastern suburbs of Jinling. When Ye Qingxue's car drove there, Zhou Xiaoze looked through his sunglasses and saw a large manor in front of him covering an area of nearly a thousand acres.
The entire manor is surrounded by mountains and rivers, occupying an excellent location for Feng Shui.
A plaque hanging on the main gate has four shining golden characters written on it: Ye Family Manor.
Standing at the door were a row of bodyguards in black shorts, hands clasped behind their backs, staring eagerly, standing there like black iron towers.
Rich people are so cool!
Ye Qingxue parked the car in a conspicuous corner of Xiushui, took out her mobile phone from her body, dialed a phone number, and said, "Aunt Lan, this is Ye Qingxue, I'm here!"
Zhou Xiaoze heard the surprise voice of an old woman coming from the mobile phone: "Ah, Miss Qingxue is back. I will greet you at the side door right away!"
Sideways?
If you don’t go through the main entrance, why should you go through the side entrance?
"Get off the car!" Ye Qingxue said to Zhou Xiaoze who was taking a nap with his eyes closed.
Zhou Xiaoze pretended to be awake, stretched out, and asked: "Are we here?"
"arrive!"
After getting out of the car, Zhou Xiaoze touched the ground with a folding stick and said, "I'm not familiar with this place, you have to help me!"
"I'll just hold the folding stick and lead you away!" Ye Qingxue picked up the other end of the folding stick and led him to the side.
Does this mean you dislike me?
Where is the gentle side of your iceberg beauty? Let me put my arms around your slim waist and show you to others that we are a loving couple!
Okay, let’s not worry about this with her for the time being. In the future, we must train her on how to earn face for her man!
Go through a tree-lined path and go around to the back of the yard. There is a narrow door there, which can only accommodate one person walking sideways.
A neatly dressed woman in her fifties was waiting there. Apparently she was Aunt Lan.
"Miss Qingxue..." Aunt Lan came forward excitedly.
When she discovered Zhou Xiaoze, her face couldn't help but froze, "Is he that Zhou Xiaoze?"
Although Aunt Lan spoke as softly as a mosquito, Zhou Xiaoze still heard her.
It seems that I have already gained a certain reputation in the Jinling Ye family!
"Well, it's him!" Ye Qingxue nodded speechlessly.
Aunt Lan glanced at Zhou Xiaoze again and said to Ye Qingxue: "Qingxue, it's been really hard for you these past years. I'll take you to see the master first; Ye Junhao will see you again tomorrow, so you have to be patient."
Ye Qingxue asked in a cold tone: "I know. Aunt Lan, I heard that Ye Junhao has become the acting head of the Ye family?"
"Yes, the master's health is getting worse and worse, and he is forced to hand over the affairs of the Ye family to Ye Junhao to take care of it!"
"Humph, this scumbag!" Ye Qingxue snorted coldly with a sad face.
Scumbag?
The corner of Zhou Xiaoze's mouth twitched.
He could see that the scumbag that came out of the iceberg beauty's mouth, that is, Ye Junhao, must be ten million times more scumbag than himself!
Comparing people with each other, laughing haha. Looks like I have a chance to turn around!
Passing sideways through the narrow side door, Aunt Lan led them along a secluded path, turned several doors in a row, and arrived at a small, quiet courtyard.
What happened to the Ye family in Jinling back then, which caused Bingshan Beauty to be reduced to such a state that she seemed to have done something shameful. She finally came back and had to hide from others.
Thinking that Ye Qingxue was his future wife after all, Zhou Xiaoze felt full of indignation and aggrieved at this moment!
The Ye family manor is really big, with a large courtyard and a small courtyard. If a stranger breaks into it by mistake, he will definitely get lost and unable to get out.
In this small courtyard, there is a small house, and a plaque is hung on the lintel, with three words written on it: Jingxin Hall.
"Aunt Lan, this used to be a place where my grandma used to eat fast and chant Buddha's name. Why did grandpa move here?" Ye Qingxue asked, looking at the plaque on the lintel.
Aunt Lan smiled bitterly and said, "Master, he moved here as early as when you went to Wanjiang City!"
Ye Qingxue nodded silently and followed Aunt Lan into the house. In the main hall, there was a Buddha statue, an incense burner and a worship mat underneath. There was a faint agarwood fragrance in the room.
Aunt Lan knocked on the door of the east wing and said, "Master, Miss Qingxue is back!"
Immediately, an old man coughed violently from the bedroom, followed by a weak voice: "Quickly, let my precious granddaughter come in!"
Pushing open the bedroom door, Ye Qingxue led Zhou Xiaoze and walked away.
Zhou Xiaoze noticed at a glance that there was a scrawny old man lying on the bed, with a sallow face. His originally deep-set, dull eyes suddenly shone with two points of light when he saw Ye Qingxue.
The furnishings in the bedroom are very simple. There is a pot of clivia placed near the window sill, emitting a faint fragrance.
Looking at the faint energy on the old man's body, Zhou Xiaoze frowned slightly: Is this a sign that he has been poisoned?
"Grandpa..." Ye Qingxue knelt on her knees, tears welling up in her eyes, and walked forward on her knees.
Ye Qingxue's grandfather, Ye Changsheng, hurriedly said: "Qingxue, don't be like this, be good and get up quickly!"
Aunt Lan caught up and helped Ye Changsheng sit up, adding two pillows behind his back.
"Grandpa, Qingxue is unfilial and cannot serve you!" Qingxue said sobbingly.
Ye Changsheng sighed, took Ye Qingxue's hand, and said with a regretful expression: "Qingxue, you blame me for not protecting you and Xiao Dan. It's grandpa's fault. Grandpa is sorry for your dead parents.
!”
"Grandpa, don't mention the past!" Ye Qingxue said.
Ye Changsheng said: "Qingxue, if you had agreed to the marriage to the Ji family in Kyoto, who in the Ye family would have dared to look down on you, and you wouldn't have been surrounded by stars like the moon!"
What, someone in Kyoto chased Ye Qingxue back then?
What kind of look does this old guy have? Does he pretend that I don’t exist? He actually brings up this old sesame and rotten millet matter with my future wife?
One thing Zhou Xiaoze can guess is that the Ji family in Kyoto should be much more powerful than the Ye family in Jinling, otherwise, this old guy wouldn't have said such a thing.
"Grandpa, don't mention this. Even now, I have never regretted it!" Ye Qingxue said resolutely.
Personalized, I like it!
Although Zhou Xiaoze didn't know what kind of existence the Ji family in Kyoto was, he couldn't help but secretly like what the iceberg beauty said.
After all, she is my future wife after all!
At this moment, Ye Changsheng turned his attention to Zhou Xiaoze and asked Ye Qingxue: "Qingxue, is this your good-for-nothing boyfriend Zhou Xiaoze?"
