he fat.Lin Yao let out a cold snort. She no longer had the mood to talk to the fat man. In her eyes, someone that even Sun Shao and the young master of the Yan family didn't know was simply unworthy o...Ye Fan coldly stared at these people. Seeing that they had all been subdued, he glanced at the fat man, who nodded in understanding. Only then did he help Si Kong Huan walk towards the small building step by step.

Those outside received cold stares and were left out in the cold, but Si Kong inside was treated to a very different level of hospitality.

When Sikong entered the room, Ye Wudao was standing with his back to the wall, staring intently at a painting. It was Ye Fan's intentional emphasis on his footsteps that pulled Ye Wudao out of his reverie. He turned around and saw Sikong, hurriedly taking a few steps forward and clasping Sikong's hand tightly. He said emotionally: "Brother, after so many years, are you well"

Si Kong also looked very excited, "Big brother, we have been apart 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 an old man!"

Suddenly, Si Kong remembered the words Ye Wuming, the head of the Ye clan, had said to him yesterday. He hadn't expected to be able to say those same words so soon. In this situation, besides those words, he couldn't find anything else to express the feelings in his heart.

Thinking back, when they pledged brotherhood, Ye Wudao was a year older than him, called "Big Brother." But twenty years had passed. He himself was now old and decrepit, while his Big Brother remained as youthful and vibrant as ever. If he were to return to Yanjing, wouldn't it spark another fierce battle for power among the noble families

"Yes, over these twenty years, we've all grown older, younger brother. All these years you've done so much for the Ye family, especially for Xiao Fan. You've sacrificed a lot!"

Sikong said with displeasure, "Big brother, what are you saying Thinking about those things back then makes me feel guilty every time. I didn't have the ability to speak up for you back then, which is why you ended up like this…"

Ye Wudao burst into laughter, his voice booming, "The road to the pass is long and difficult as iron, but today I take my first step anew. Let us not dwell on past matters. We are here today for brotherhood!"

“That’s natural,” Master Sikong said without the slightest trace of the melancholy he had felt when he left Beijing all those years ago. He knew his brother had long since let go, so he went straight to the point: “Big Brother, I must be honest with you. I came here on behalf of someone. As you know, my family owes a great debt to the Ye Family, and I have to repay it! That’s why, without your consent, brother, I brought the descendants of the Ye Family with me. Although the Ye Family wronged you back then, they were driven to desperate measures. Over the years, their fortunes have dwindled, leaving them in dire straits. You should know their intentions for coming here. Regardless, since they’ve come with sincerity, as elders, we should at least give these youngsters a chance to make amends, wouldn't you agree”

Did the Ye family do anything wrong back then No, of course not!

Even at this point, Patriarch Ye Wuming of the Ye family would still say that. If he were given another chance to start over, he would without hesitation choose to abandon Ye Wudao!

Just 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, in order to save the family, he was willing to put down these old faces and beg Ye Wudao to come back.

This is indeed the tragedy of politics, even if you are a prominent and powerful family, you cannot escape this rule of fate. Since it is a rule, you must abide by it, no one can break it!

Ye Wudao didn't reply immediately. Instead, he made a cup of chrysanthemum tea for Sikong and personally brewed another one for himself. Gazing at the swirling chrysanthemums in his cup, Ye Wudao suddenly had an image of an extraordinary woman flash through his mind. Back then, it was this woman who diligently brewed him chrysanthemum tea day after day. This very building was the same as it was back then, and the people were the same too. Xiaohua, where are you now

Sikong Ye lightly sipped his chrysanthemum tea. In Beijing, not many people had the opportunity to drink tea personally brewed by Big Brother, and he was one of them.

Ye Wudao lightly sipped his tea and said faintly, "Since it's someone you brought, let me have a look!"

Oh, the old man still seems to be ruled by his emotions just like he used to! He could have avoided meeting with people from the Ye family...

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

Ye Shouchun hurriedly ran in and bowed to Ye Wudao, who was seated at the head of the table: "Junior Ye Shouchun greets the two masters."

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

"Well, Big Brother, it's been twenty years. Your sister has grown so much." Ye Wudao laughed heartily, like a benevolent old man.

No matter what, he bears the surname Ye and his blood runs with the Ye family's. 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.

"Having met two..." Ye Shouyi couldn't bring himself to say "Second Master". He thought to himself, I am 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 boy had ulterior motives and wasn't on the same path as him.

"Second Master, you don't know how much the Ye family has suffered these years while you were away. My father, his health is deteriorating day by day, I'm afraid he won't have much time left. But he still thinks about you every day, apologizing for everything that happened, and just wants to see you one last time before he dies. Please find some time to return to our Ye family!" Ye Shouxin was on the verge of tears.

Ye Shouyi looked at his older brother in surprise. Haven't we, the Ye family, always been calling the shots in Beijing all these years Is it really that bad

"Ye Wudao, however, was unmoved. He said calmly: 'What's there to see I am no longer a member of the Ye family. Why would I go back I don't want to talk about what happened in the past either. Who is who no longer matters. If your father truly misses me, why didn't he come himself this time and instead send you young ones'"

“This…” Although Ye Wudao’s tone wasn't heavy, the content of his words was like a huge rock pressing down on Ye Shuxin’s chest. Ye Shuxin froze in place. What could he say Was he going to say that his father, out of consideration for his face, refused to humble himself and beg others

"Big brother..." Although Sikong was entrusted by others, he didn't want to make Ye Ning and his friends too embarrassed. He wanted to remind his big brother.

Ye Wudao sighed and waved his hand. "Forget it, I don't want to dwell on the past anymore. I didn't have anything to do with you lot originally, and I know exactly why you're here this time. But let me make this clear: I'm not going back. From the moment he kicked me out of the Ye family all those years ago, I swore that I would never step foot in that place again for the rest of my life!"

The atmosphere in the house was heavy, oppressive, making one want to stay still.ng raised were something he had never considered before. However, what she said was indeed very reasonable. After becoming the chairman, he had hardly put any thought into the extraordinary Group. He...
