Chapter 344: Chapter 306 Ye Family Shock Part 2

Just as Ye Zhen followed Ye Yuanshan’s instructions and headed toward the front courtyard, inside the front courtyard, besides the couple Ye Wenhao and Qin Yan, members of the third and fourth generations of the Ye Family gradually recovered from their shock.

Apart from Ye Long, the other fourth-generation members of the Ye Family were glaring at Ye Fan with fury, with Ye Cang clenching his fists tightly in anger, as if he wanted to rush forward and give Ye Fan a severe beating.

In their eyes, what Ye Fan had just done was not simply a provocation against the Ye Family but rather outright trouble-making!

By comparison, Ye Long, having entered society for a few years and working for the Yanhuang Organization, had much more experience and emotional intelligence than students like Ye Cang.

Although he also felt Ye Fan was too arrogant, reason told him that if Ye Fan had no backing at all, he would never dare to act this way!

Moreover, even if Ye Fan had the audacity of a lion, Ye Wenhao would have intervened!

And...at this moment, with Ye Wenhao keeping silent, it was clear there was something fishy going on.

If even Ye Long could see this, what about members of the third generation like Ye Wentao leading the group?

This time, facing the arrogantly posturing Ye Fan, they did not counter him as before, nor did they clamor for Ye Fan to leave. Instead, they turned their gaze towards Ye Wenhao, seemingly expecting an explanation from him.

"Dad will be arriving at the front courtyard soon, and I’m sure he will give you an explanation."

Under the angry and expectant gazes of Ye Wentao and others, Ye Wenhao did not reveal the mystery. Firstly, he had previously promised Ye Zhen, and secondly, the behavior of people like Ye Wenling just now was somewhat overbearing, and he felt indignant on behalf of Ye Fan.

Swish!

Hearing Ye Wenhao’s words, Ye Wentao and the others looked towards the archway connecting the front courtyard to the middle courtyard in unison, waiting for Ye Zhen’s arrival.

Gradually, gradually, as Ye Wentao and others waited, Ye Zhen appeared outside the archway with a serious expression.

"Dad!"

"Grandpa!"

Seeing Ye Zhen, everyone except Ye Fan greeted him in turn.

"Look at yourselves. What a state you are in!"

Ye Zhen swept his stern gaze over the crowd, pausing for an extra two seconds on Ye Wenjun and Ye Wenling, before landing on Ye Wentao as he harshly reprimanded, "Do you still look like members of the Ye Family? What’s the difference between you and fishwives squabbling in a market??"

"Uh..."

Even though they guessed that Ye Fan’s earlier arrogance must have had some support, the sight of Ye Zhen reprimanding them as soon as he appeared made Ye Wentao, Ye Wenling, and the others slightly startled.

Ye Wenling, in particular, was so shocked that she widened her eyes and said instinctively, "Dad, he..."

"Wen Ling, especially you!"

Ye Zhen coldly interrupted Ye Wenling’s words, "Xiao Fan is Wenhao’s son, my grandson, our Ye Family member! How come he becomes an outsider when it comes to your mouth?"

"——"

Ye Wenling was at a loss for words, her usually pale face flushing red as if she had suffered great injustice.

Not paying any attention.

Ye Zhen ignored Ye Wenling and continued to question Ye Wentao and the others icily, "And you? Do you all feel that your wings have hardened? That you can be in charge of the Ye Family??"

"Dad, we were just afraid..."

"Afraid of what? Afraid that Xiao Fan coming home would upset your grandfather??"

Ye Zhen berated, "Xiao Fan was specifically brought back by Wenhao at the Old Master’s request for his birthday! How could he be unhappy? You are simply making a fuss!"

"Uh..."

As Ye Zhen’s words echoed in their ears, aside from Ye Wenhao and Qin Yan, the other members of the Ye Family were once again stunned!

You have to know, when Ye Fan previously claimed that Ye Zhen had personally invited him back to the Ye Family, none of them believed him!

Even when Ye Fan was arrogantly demanding that Ye Zhen appear within a minute, they just thought Ye Fan had some sort of reliance, and they did not imagine that Ye Zhen would actually go to invite Ye Fan back home!

At this moment, Ye Zhen’s words made them realize: everything Ye Fan said was true!

Swish!

Swish!

Swish!

...

After understanding all this, Ye Wentao and the others, as if drawn by a force, instinctively turned their gaze towards Ye Fan.

In that moment.

The way they looked at Ye Fan was void of disdain, dissatisfaction, and anger, only shock was left!

That shocked gaze seemed to ask: What...what is actually going on?

No answer.

Even with their minds stretched to the limit, they couldn’t figure it out. They only knew that even if the Old Master Ye specifically allowed Ye Fan to return to the Ye Family and acknowledged him as a member, it still didn’t permit Ye Fan to speak to Ye Zhen with such a humiliating attitude!

That would be tantamount to overturning the rules of the Ye Family!!

"Xiao Fan, your great-grandfather wants to see you."

While Ye Wentao and the others were shocked beyond comparison, Ye Zhen had been subtly observing Ye Fan out of the corner of his eye. Seeing that the anger in Ye Fan’s eyes had gradually dissipated, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said.

"Hmm."

Ye Fan nodded, unable to help but sigh in his heart that Ginger indeed retained its pungency with age—Ye Zhen, from the moment he appeared until now, had hardly given anyone the opportunity to explain or defend themselves. With a tough stance, he took control of the situation, saving enough face for himself and using Old Master Ye’s banner, he perfectly concealed the truth.

"Wenhao, you come too."

Ye Zhen thought for a moment, then gave Ye Wenhao another gentle look, his tone markedly softer than before when he addressed Ye Wenling and the others, as if he were a completely different person.

Clearly, he was quite satisfied with Ye Wenhao’s performance just now.

"Yes, Dad."

Ye Zhen nodded in response, unable to resist glancing at Ye Wentao and the others. He shook his head secretly and then walked towards the archway with Ye Fan.

Whoosh—

Seeing the two approaching, Ye Wentao, who was leading the group, stepped aside first to clear the path. Ye Wenjun, Ye Wenling, and the others also tactfully made way.

Under the light, their gazes lingered on Ye Fan, filled with confusion: What exactly gave him the right to receive such treatment from the two elders of the Ye Family?

What right??

Unconcerned with the astonished and dubious looks, Ye Fan passed by Ye Wentao and the others as if they were air.

From beginning to end, he never looked at Ye Wentao and the others.

Not even a glance!

This scene, like a silent slap in the face, made Ye Wentao and the rest feel stifled and angry.

However—

Anger was just anger; none of them dared to speak out to stop him, instead keeping their mouths shut tighter than a virgin’s legs!

"What... what’s going on? By what right does he receive such treatment from Grandpa and Old Master?"

As Ye Fan’s figure disappeared from their sight, Ye Long, full of frustration, asked.

Not only was he the eldest son of the Ye Family, but he was also the second-ranked genius among the younger generation of the Yanhuang Organization. He was destined to hold a high position in the Yanhuang Organization one day!

Such an identity earned him awe from outsiders, and yet he had to tread carefully within the Ye Family.

And then there was Ye Fan, an illegitimate child who strutted arrogantly around the Ye Family Mansion, with Ye Zhen putting on a smiling face, scared that Ye Fan might get angry...

This stark contrast, like a sharp dagger, stabbed into his heart, puncturing a gaping hole in the pride he held as the eldest son of the Ye Family!

No one answered.

Ye Wentao, Ye Wenjun, Ye Wenling, and the others also wore looks of frustration.

As third-generation members of the Ye Family, they held important positions in their respective domains, wielding considerable power, and were accustomed to respect. When had they ever been treated so poorly?

"Even if he is the son of Third Uncle and the disciple of Chu Xuanji, he shouldn’t be so arrogant, right?" Ye Long spoke up again, seeming as if he would not rest until the mystery was solved.

Hmm?

Hearing the name Chu Xuanji, Ye Wentao and the others brightened up momentarily, but then, thinking it over, they agreed with Ye Long. Although Chu Xuanji had savior contribution, he didn’t establish any power in neither the Martial Arts World nor the ordinary world. He had only reputation, certainly not something worth the two elders of the Ye Family bending over backwards to please and flatter!

"Dad and Grandpa must have their reasons for doing this."

Ye Wentao paused to ponder, then reminded everyone, "Since the two elders have agreed to let Ye Fan return to the Ye Family, then from now on, he is one of us. Everyone should stop provoking him."

"But brother, it’s not us provoking him now; it’s him who will cause trouble for us!"

Ye Wenling spoke with frustration, "Didn’t you see the way he looked at us just now? He couldn’t even bear to give us a proper glance!"

"His mother was humiliated in the Ye Family years ago, and left aggrieved. He himself has been an orphan for twenty years; it’s understandable that he harbors grievances," Ye Wentao sighed and self-reflected. "After all, we were indeed a bit too harsh just now."

"What if he takes the initiative to cause trouble for us?"

Qin Yan couldn’t help but speak up. In the entire Ye Family, she was the only one who had gone to the East Sea to find Ye Fan and pointed her finger at his nose, telling him to stay away from Ye Wenhao and not to dream of entering the Ye Family’s door.

In such a situation, she was most worried that Ye Fan might seek revenge on her and Ye Cang!

"I think Dad and Grandpa won’t let that kid piss on our heads," Ye Wenjun said darkly. "Of course, if that kid really does that, we will all go to the two elders together. I don’t believe we have to live under his thumb from now on!"

"You’re right, Fourth Brother. If that kid dares to trouble us actively, we’ll take it up with the two elders!" Ye Wenling quickly nodded in agreement.

"Okay."

Ye Wentao thought for a moment and agreed to the suggestion, but also reminded, "But remember, don’t go looking for trouble with him. If you do, even if you complain to the old man, you’ll have no justification. Besides, you’ve heard of the deeds he did in Hanghu and the East Sea. He managed to get Bai Luo jailed, causing the Bai Family to suffer in silence, which proves his capability. When it comes to scheming, you’re not necessarily his match!"

"Hisss~"

Hearing Ye Wentao say this, Ye Wenjun, Ye Wenling, and Qin Yan couldn’t help but gasp in frustration, but they also understood that if they were in Ye Fan’s shoes, they’d almost certainly be unable to use the rules to get Bai Luo imprisoned with so few resources at their disposal!

Ye Ling and Ye Huahuan looked on curiously, wondering what exactly Ye Fan had done to make their uncles and aunts so fearful.

On the other hand, Ye Cang and Ye Feng remained stunned, seemingly unable to believe that what had just happened was real and still in shock!

Only Ye Long’s brows were tightly furrowed, seemingly unwilling to admit that he, as the eldest son of the Ye Family, was being suppressed so suffocatingly!

Amidst his frustration, he caught a glimpse of the dazed look on Ye Cang’s face out of the corner of his eye and an insidious gleam flashed in his eyes!
