Chapter 940 In-Depth Discussion (3)
Ye Qian naturally understood Tang Shuyan's suffering. When meeting Tang Shuyan for the first time, Ye Qian could tell from her eyes that Ye Qian also had a lot of guilt for this mother. As a son of man, it is also a kind of unfilial piety not to be with your knees. Ye Qian naturally hopes to enjoy the family relationship with Tang Shuyan. However, a man cannot live without his own world. That's why he hoped that Qin Yue, Lin'er, and Haoran would stay, just to make up for the guilt in his heart, so that Tang Shuyan would not feel lonely.
What is the old man most afraid of? is lonely. In today's society, the living conditions are better, and the old people don't have to worry about life anymore. However, they lack a kind of comfort in their hearts and feel very lonely. The cause of all this is naturally because the children cannot be happy.
After leaving the old man's room, Ye Qian walked towards his own room. Ye Qian is already a descendant of the Ye family, so he will naturally have his own room, which is the Xianya Residence where Tang Shuyan lives. It was dark and the moon was dim, Ye Qian could see from a distance in the gazebo, under the dim light, Ye Zhengxiong was drinking silently there. Alone, his back looks a bit bleak and lonely. It is said that those who achieve great things must learn to endure loneliness, which is true, but no one wants to be lonely, and Ye Zhengxiong is no exception.
In fact, all these years, Ye Zhengxiong also knew very well that the old man was still wary of him, and he didn't entrust the Ye family into his own hands wholeheartedly and completely at ease. However, no matter how gloomy Ye Zhengxiong was, he was still full of respect and filial piety towards the old man in his heart. He would feel very guilty when he thought about what happened back then, but his strong self-esteem did not allow him to bow his head.
Over the years, in order to carry forward the Ye family, he has done his best. He just hoped that the old man could see what he had done for the Ye family, see his efforts, and use facts to prove that he was qualified to be the head of the Ye family. However, he ignored many other issues, such as family affection. He clearly remembered how deep his brotherhood with Ye Zhengran and Ye Zhengfeng was when he was young, and he clearly remembered that he could give up his life for them. However, over the years, he and Ye Zhengfeng have also gone farther and farther. Although Ye Zhengfeng still respects himself, there is less brotherhood and more awe. This is also a regret in his heart.
Sometimes, the higher a person goes, the further he goes, he often loses something that didn't seem very important before, but now it surpasses everything when he thinks about it. If possible, Ye Zhengxiong really hoped that he could go back to the past, however, it was already impossible. He knew that no matter what he did, the brotherhood with Ye Zhengfeng would never return to the past.
Ye Qian's arrival brought back more memories for Ye Zhengxiong, as well as a lot of guilt in him. However, it also made him full of wariness. He knew that he was responsible for what happened back then, if Ye Qian blamed him for all the crimes, it would be completely reasonable. Therefore, he was a little scared; therefore, he tried his best to keep a distance from Ye Qian, full of hostility. He knew that if he failed in the fight with Ye Qian one day in the future, he might lose not only his life, but also his dignity, his efforts, and even everything.
Everyone understands the truth that drinking away sorrow makes sorrow worse. However, they can't get rid of the idea of drinking away sorrow. I always thought that when the poison that pierced my intestines went down my throat and flowed all over my body, I could forget everything, at least, I could forget everything for a short time.
After a slight pause, Ye Qian walked over slowly. Hearing the footsteps behind him, Ye Zhengxiong turned his head, paused slightly when he saw Ye Qian, then nodded lightly, and said, "Have you finished chatting with the old man?"
"Yeah!" Ye Qian nodded slightly, and said, "Why is uncle drinking here alone? I'll accompany you." Saying this, Ye Qian sat down opposite Ye Zhengxiong, taking care of himself. Pour up. Ye Zhengxiong didn't object either, and silently downed a glass of wine. Ye Qian smiled lightly, poured it for Ye Zhengxiong, and said: "In ancient times, all heroes love wine. Sometimes wine is really a good thing. However, if it is to escape, the taste of this wine seems to have changed a little bit. Uncle, what do you think?"
Ye Zhengxiong was stunned for a moment, then raised his head to look at Ye Qian, with a somewhat astonished expression. However, Ye Qian still just smiled lightly, he didn't look at Ye Zhengxiong, but carefully turned over the wine bottle in his hand and looked at it. "Actually, I think Erguotou is the most exciting thing about baijiu." Ye Qian said, "Although I can't drink alcohol, I still feel the best when I drink Erguotou. What do you think, uncle?"
"When I was young, I liked wine with a higher alcohol content. It would be a great sense of accomplishment to get drunk with my friends and brothers. But now, when I am old, I no longer have the same feeling as when I was young, and I like this wine with a slightly lower alcohol content. The mellow type." After a pause, Ye Zhengxiong said slowly.
"People change. As they grow older and their mood matures, they will change how they look at things. The good thing is that with more experience, they will look at things more maturely. However, because of more experience, they are often easily deceived. Eyes." Ye Qian said, "Sometimes, you still need a little desperate passion of young people."
Ye Zhengxiong glanced at Ye Qian in astonishment, his expression was a bit astonished, he naturally knew what Ye Qian's words implied, but he was not angry. Picking up the wine glass, he downed it in one gulp, and then said: "What do you want to do, tell me. Uncle has only one request. I hope you don't involve Han Rui and Han Hao in our affairs. I owe you and have nothing to do with them." .”
Smiling slightly, Ye Qian said: "Uncle, what do you mean by that? Do you think I want revenge on you or revenge on you?"
"I do have a lot of responsibility for what happened back then. If it wasn't for me, your father wouldn't have gone to duel with Fu Shisan even though he was injured, and your father wouldn't have died." Ye Zhengxiong Said, "If you want to avenge your father, I can completely understand. I just hope that you don't get involved in the two brothers Han Rui and Han Hao. I can't go back to the previous situation with your father and third uncle, but I hope you brothers will not follow in our footsteps."
"I don't know who was right and who was wrong about what happened back then, but I can be sure of one thing. Since my father chose to fight, I don't think he blamed you. Since he didn't blame you, if I came to you now Wouldn't it be obvious that my father's original decision was wrong?" Ye Qian said, "I lost my family members since I was a child, and my memory of my father and mother is vague. Later, my father adopted Me, let me have a real home of my own, with a feeling of family affection. However, no matter what, I still have a strong desire for my family in my heart. I finally found a home. Although my father is no longer there, but There are also mothers, grandpas, and you elders. Therefore, I cherish this feeling very much. I don’t want anything to destroy our family relationship. Maybe what I said is a bit hypocritical, and you don’t want to believe it, but This is the fact. I know what my uncle is worried about, and I can tell you that you can rest assured. "
Ye Zhengxiong was stunned for a while, looking at Ye Qian, as if he wanted to see from Ye Qian's eyes whether what he said was true or not. However, what he saw was the sincerity on Ye Qian's face, without any fake elements, which made him feel even more guilty.
"Uncle has always hoped that Han Rui and Han Hao will inherit the position of the Ye family's head, right?" Ye Qian smiled slightly, and continued, "Although I haven't spent long time with their two brothers, we can It can be seen that their natures are still very good. Uncle, have you ever thought about who you choose to be the head of the Ye family between the two brothers?"
Ye Zhengxiong was slightly stunned, and said: "Whoever has the ability will be the head of the Ye family. They are two brothers, both of whom are my own. Naturally, I cannot show any favoritism."
Smiling slightly, Ye Qian went on to say: "Then uncle, have you ever thought that you gave them both expectations, but in the end only one of them got what they wanted, what would the other think? Maybe you will I think it's because the other party is not powerful enough to be the head of the Ye family. However, he certainly doesn't think so, he will think that you are partial and that things are unfair. In this case, the most direct result is that the brother Turning against each other, is this the result you want to see?"
"Then what do you mean..." Ye Zhengxiong said, "Is it to keep the two brothers from participating in the fight for the head of the family, so that the brotherhood between them can be preserved?"
"Although this seems to be possible on the surface, it is not." Ye Qian said, "Uncle, don't think that I say this to let you give me the position of Patriarch. I am just discussing the matter. To put it simply, if The position of Patriarch fell to someone else, Han Rui and Han Hao may unite, but their minds are still suspicious of each other, and there will be a day in the future when they will turn against each other. Therefore, the best way is to make them feel affectionate It is more important than the position of the Patriarch. Even if you are not the Patriarch of the Ye Family, you are still proud. Uncle is my own, so I will tell the truth. Just now, the old man asked me to go in, and he did pass on the title of Patriarch of the Ye Family to me. Meaning, but I rejected it."
"Why? Don't you want to be the head of the Ye family?" Ye Zhengxiong asked.
