Free Web NovelChapter 2130: Chapter 2090: The Problem Is That His Real Grandpa Isn’t Dead Yet
Ever since learning that Ye Qiu is Ye Zhengyu’s illegitimate child, and a particularly outstanding one at that, Old Master Ye began to pay close attention to Ye Qiu’s every move.
Like the last trip to Jinling, it was specifically an attempt to bring Ye Qiu back to the Capital City to recognize his roots and ancestors.
Unexpectedly, this kid directly refused.
Instead, during this National Day, he managed to stir up so much trouble.
This Ye Qiu actually went back to Ye Weidong’s old home and blew up the Zhu Family Grave.
Could it be that he really considers that grandfather as his own biological grandfather?
The problem is that this biological grandfather of his isn’t dead yet?
This really infuriated Old Master Ye.
Am I jealous?
Or what?
"Grandfather, what’s wrong with you?" A young member of the Ye Family asked while looking at the grandfather during breakfast.
Ever since Ye Feng died, the Ye Family seemed to have changed significantly.
The young members who were always overshadowed by Ye Feng dared not approach Old Master Ye, but now that Ye Feng is gone, their attitudes have changed.
Anyway, sooner or later, the Ye Family will have to choose another heir.
It will definitely be chosen from these young members.
So, like peacocks seeking a mate, they occasionally show off before Old Master Ye.
However, these young members of the Ye Family.
Not to mention that they fall far short compared to Ye Feng, they couldn’t even compare to Ye Qiu.
How formidable is Ye Qiu now?
Apart from his medical skills.
Ye Qiu has his own castle abroad, especially in Europe, his own businesses, including vineyards, clothing and cosmetics, as well as antiviral drug research laboratories, pharmaceutical companies, and more.
Domestically, there’s even more to say.
What impresses Old Master Ye the most is that all of these were built by Ye Qiu himself from the ground up.
And these young members of the Ye Family, even with the family’s connections, are far behind Ye Qiu.
That’s exactly why Old Master Ye feels that the reason Ye Qiu looks down on the Ye Family is because he doesn’t need them at all and has never thought of relying on the family, not even taking the Ye Family seriously.
When looking at the landscape painting on the table, the surrounding young members of the Ye Family could tell that grandfather had been staring at the painting since breakfast started.
This painting is now framed and indeed looks like a masterpiece.
Does grandfather like traditional Chinese paintings?
"Grandfather, do you like Chinese paintings?" A young member next to him asked.
Old Master Ye just glanced at him and said nothing.
His gaze remained fixed on the micro-style landscape painting.
The painting features white walls and black tiles, rapeseed flowers, and a pond, presenting a strong sense of depth; its level of skill is perhaps no less than that of painters from the Republic of China era.
Below, there’s a signature titled "Homeland," and finally just the word "Autumn."
Old Master Ye naturally knows it’s written by Ye Qiu himself, but he didn’t explicitly write his name.
He didn’t even stamp it.
This painting was secretly stolen last night, and based on the value of the three paintings Ye Qiu gifted to the third granduncle of the Cao Family,
This painting is worth tens of millions.
Worth tens of millions!
How many people can achieve that?
Now Old Master Ye is quite puzzled; is the Ye Family’s gene in Ye Qiu truly so excellent that he can master music, chess, calligraphy, and painting?
"Grandfather, who painted this?"
A young member asked again.
When he saw grandfather remain silent, a middle-aged man beside him asked, "Father, you’ve been looking at this painting for a long time."
"No amount of money can buy this painting."
No amount of money can buy it?
Could someone have given it to father?
The middle-aged man didn’t know.
"Have you found where that kid Ye Zhengyu is?" Old Master Ye asked the middle-aged man again.
"Dad, you mean Second Brother, right? He seemed to be in the Northeast, last I heard he went to Siberia."
Went to Siberia?
This clearly indicates he deliberately wants to open up the Ye Family!
Why is it that the father and son share such similar characters?
Why do they dislike the Ye Family so much?
"Anyway, we must find that bastard as soon as possible. Now, his son is dead, his wife divorced him, and he hasn’t even come back to take a look. Is he still human?"
"Dad, I’ve always had people looking for Second Brother with Big Brother and the others, but I’m afraid even if we find him, he might be unwilling to return."
The middle-aged man said while bowing his head.
"Then what do you suggest? I’m really pissed off!"
Now the biological son doesn’t want to come back, and even the biological grandson doesn’t want to come back.
This father and son duo, in Old Master Ye’s eyes, are becoming increasingly similar.
What infuriates him the most is how remarkably alike they present themselves.
One is Ye Zhengyu.
The other is Ye Qiu.
Both are the most outstanding members of the Ye Family, but Ye Zhengyu initially handed the Ye Family over to the father, allowing himself to ruin.
Now this Ye Qiu hasn’t fallen, just forfeited Ye Qiu entirely.
No, that’s not right, Old Master Ye feels that he must go to Jinling again, as the kid has sided with Ye Weidong, he finds it more and more unsettling.
No matter what, Ye Qiu’s blood is still running with the blood of the Ye Family, not that of Ye Weidong.
This has nothing to do with Ye Weidong, it’s merely emotional recognition.
In Old Master Ye’s view, ultimately Ye Qiu should truly belong to the Ye Family of the Capital City.
"I’m planning to make another trip to Jinling."
Going to Jinling again?
Does grandfather like to linger on the scenery of the south?
These young members of the Ye Family couldn’t understand.
As Old Master Ye was preparing to leave, he looked at the painting on the table and said to the middle-aged man, "Remember to hang this painting in my study."
"Dad, I understand."
As Old Master Ye left the dining room, the hundreds of members of the Ye Family hurriedly gathered to see what was special about this painting.
The micro-style Chinese painting gives a feeling of white walls and black tiles with a landscape bridge, appearing very layered, and remarkably simple. The main thing is it looks very comforting to people.
Although these young members didn’t truly have much appreciation for paintings, upon seeing this one, they indeed longed for the life it depicted.
Could grandfather be reminded of Jiangnan by seeing this painting?
"Don’t touch. I’m taking it back." The middle-aged man said.
This is father’s treasure, though he couldn’t understand the reason.
After the other took it away, the other young members naturally didn’t understand either.
But now that Ye Feng is absent, they find themselves much more at ease, no longer having to hear elders, friends around them, and relatives continuously talking about Ye Feng’s excellence.
No matter how excellent, so what, didn’t he die young?
With him dead, the world of the Ye Family now belongs to their generation.
At this moment, Ye Qiu, Ye Weidong, Chen Fang, and their cousins were chatting there.
