247: Chapter 222: Vision Determines Height 247: Chapter 222: Vision Determines Height Ye Wenhao left.
After Ye Wenhao uttered that double-aning phrase, no matter how Qin Yan admitted her mistakes and pleaded, he still left.
He left decisively!
Watching Ye Wenhao’s retreating back, Qin Yan felt an unprecedented fear.
She collapsed weakly to the ground, motionless as if all her spiritual energy had been drained from her.
“Mr.
Qin!”
Seeing this, Xu Jing hurriedly suppressed the pain in her body, got up from the ground, hurried to Qin Yan, and helped her up.
“How did it turn into this?” Qin Yan’s face was pale as she murmured to herself, seemingly asking Xu Jing but even more so asking herself.
“Mr…
Mr.
Qin.”
Xu Jing hadn’t expected the situation to evolve into what it had beco.
She hesitated for a mont before suggesting, “I recomnd that you imdiately call Boss Ye and ask Old Ye to persuade Governor Ye.
If you do this, Governor Ye might reconsider his decision!”
“Right, make a call!” Hearing this, Qin Yan snapped out of her trance, hurriedly searching for her phone.
“Where’s my phone, my phone?”
“Mr.
Qin, here!” Xu Jing found the phone on the sofa and handed it to Qin Yan.
“Xiao Jing, you follow Wenhao, I’ll make the call now!” Taking the phone, Qin Yan regained so composure and quickly made arrangents.
“Yes, Mr.
Qin!”
Xu Jing promptly accepted the order and headed out.
“Sigh~”
Qin Yan took a deep breath, steadied her emotions, carefully considered her words, and then dialed the private number of the Ye Family Patriarch, Ye Zhen.
“Xiao Yan, why are you calling so late?
Is sothing the matter?”
As the phone connected, Ye Zhen’s voice ca from the receiver, carrying a hint of puzzlent.
Although Qin Yan was a significant daughter-in-law of the third generation of the Ye Family and was in charge of a state-owned enterprise, which gave her a not insignificant status in the Ye Family, she wasn’t yet in a position to report directly to Ye Zhen over matters.
“Dad!” Qin Yan said with a sob, “Wenhao wants to divorce !”
“Oh?”
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen was first startled, then a sharp light flickered in his eyes.
While pondering the reasons, he asked, “What happened?”
“Ye Fan has been causing trouble one after another and even had a direct conflict with Bai Luo of the Bai Family.
I was afraid his actions would affect Wenhao’s career and bring trouble to the Ye Family, so I rushed to Dong Hai to et with him tonight.”
Qin Yan hesitated for a mont but ultimately didn’t dare to lie and continued honestly, “At that ti, because I was quite emotional, so of my words were too harsh, which almost made him lose control and enter a state of qi deviation.
Reportedly, he was even targeted for assassination afterward.”
As she spoke, Qin Yan paused.
Seeing that Ye Zhen did not interject, she continued, “After learning about this, Wenhao called to apologize to Ye Fan.
I was angry at that ti and told him I wouldn’t go.”
“Just now, he ca over from Hanghu to see and again insisted that I apologize.
I refused and said so harsh words, which resulted in him slapping and then telling he wanted a divorce.
He also told that he would give up everything he has now for Ye Fan!”
Qin Yan’s voice trailed off, and feeling a stir in her heart, she hastily added, “I saw that he was really angry, so I told him I’m willing to apologize to Ye Fan with him, but he insisted on getting a divorce.
Dad, I was just impulsive.
I know I was wrong, please talk to Wenhao for .”
“Wait for my call.”
After listening to Qin Yan’s account, Ye Zhen didn’t express any stance and simply told Qin Yan to wait for his call.
“I understand, Dad.” Qin Yan felt a chill in her heart but prudently didn’t say anything more.
anwhile, Ye Zhen, who was in a courtyard in Yanjing, hung up the phone.
Initially, he intended to call Ye Wenhao directly.
Still, feeling that it was not appropriate, he considered for a mont and then pressed the red button on his desk.
“Sir.”
Soon, a mber of the Yanhuang Organization responsible for Ye Zhen’s safety entered the study.
Like the Bai Family courting martial arts experts for security, the Ye Family also had their own security forces, with bodyguards for key family mbers like Ye Zhen being part of the Yanhuang Organization.
“Has the old master gone to bed?” asked Ye Zhen.
“He just finished listening to Peking opera and will be going to bed soon.”
“Dismissed.”
After getting the answer, Ye Zhen let the bodyguard leave, pondered for a mont, then got up from his study and walked to the inner courtyard.
The so-called inner courtyard was actually another courtyard house connected to Ye Zhen’s residence.
It was the ho of Old Master Ye, Ye Yuanshan, the stabilizer of the Ye Family.
As Ye Zhen was going to find Old Master Ye Yuanshan, Ye Wenhao, accompanied by the visibly nervous manager of the hotel, left the hotel and went straight to his Red Flag H7 official car.
At the sa ti, Ye Wenhao noticed Xu Jing had also left the hotel and was secretly following him but did not pay any attention to her.
Soon, Ye Wenhao got into the Red Flag H7 sedan without hurrying to start the car.
Instead, looking in the direction of Tan Palace, he couldn’t help but quietly ask himself, “Should I go find him?”
“Snap—”
No answer ca, and Ye Wenhao, who didn’t usually smoke, extraordinarily lit a cigarette and took a light drag.
As the smoke filled the air, Ye Wenhao’s expression was complex, riddled with self-reproach, anxiety, and above all, a sense of being at a loss.
He could guess that Ye Fan was feeling terrible after learning the truth about the past events.
Even in his view, with Ye Fan’s character valuing loyalty and righteousness, it was very likely, just as Chu Ji said, that he would develop doubts and aversions toward him as a father!
Under such circumstances, he genuinely didn’t know what to say after eting Ye Fan.
Apologize?
In Ye Wenhao’s opinion, that wasn’t what Ye Fan would want.
Explain?
Although Qin Yan’s words were a bit excessive, so of them were true.
Indeed, Ye Wenhao had chosen worldly power over true love in the past and, under trendous pressure and against his conscience, he had told Ling Yun his decision in front of many mbers of the Ye Family!
“Sigh…”
When a cigarette burnt out, Ye Wenhao couldn’t help but sigh and ultimately gave up on the idea of going to find Ye Fan.
Because, in his view, this was not the best ti to approach Ye Fan.
“Buzz…
Buzz…”
Just as Ye Wenhao made up his mind and was about to start the car, the vibration of his cellphone rang out.
Ye Wenhao picked up the phone and was shocked to see it was a call from Old Master Ye Yuanshan’s study!
This discovery caused a slight change in Ye Wenhao’s expression, and he imdiately guessed the reason Old Master Ye was calling him.
“Grandfather.”
After thinking for a mont, Ye Wenhao answered the call and greeted him proactively.
“Wenhao, I have heard about the incident between you and Xiao Yan,” Old Master Ye began, addressing the issue straightaway, “Xiao Yan may have been excessive, and you were right to reprimand her, but let’s not talk about divorce.”
“Grandfather, if I don’t do this, I’m afraid Xiao Fan will never accept in his lifeti,” Ye Wenhao frowned.
“Is it that serious?” Old Master Ye sounded skeptical.
“Grandfather, I know you have also had people investigate Xiao Fan’s background, but there are so things you don’t know, and you don’t understand Xiao Fan,” Ye Wenhao said after so thought.
“Xiao Fan recognized not because he values my power or wishes to rely on the Ye Family.
Instead, it’s because he values relationships and longs for kinship.
Additionally, he was moved and approved of my previous actions.”
Old Master Ye fell silent.
“During the Ao Xiang Villa incident, after learning that I was willing to go to extre lengths for him, he called more than once to remind not to act so recklessly, and he even risked a great deal to repair the consciousness of two witnesses personally.”
Ye Wenhao continued, “Moreover, when I say he doesn’t value my power and never thought of relying on the Ye Family, it’s because he has the capital to do so!”
“What capital?” Old Master Ye asked curiously.
“He is the disciple of the Evil Emperor Chu Xuanji!” Ye Wenhao revealed the secret.
“I see!”
Old Master Ye’s pupils dilated slightly as he pondered, “In that case, the Yanhuang Organization’s willingness to collaborate with our Ye Family to punish the Bai Family is because of him, or rather, because of Chu Xuanji behind him.”
“You see clearly, Grandfather!”
Seeing that Old Master Ye had imdiately guessed the trickery involved, Ye Wenhao was not surprised; after all, the Ye Family had beco the foremost wealthy family in Huaxia entirely due to Old Master Ye Yuanshan’s great will and wisdom.
“Let’s do this.
Have Xiao Yan accompany you to apologize to Xiao Fan.
It can also serve as a lesson for her to restrain her conduct in the future.”
Old Master Ye fell silent for nearly half a minute before saying, “Also, tell Xiao Fan that from now on, no mber of the Ye Family will ever trouble him again.
If he wishes to return to the Ye Family, our doors are always open for him, and he can use the Ye Family’s resources freely!”
“Uh…”
Although Ye Wenhao had expected Old Master Ye to invite Ye Fan back to the Ye Family after learning his real background, he did not anticipate that Old Master Ye would offer such terms!
After all, among the fourth generation of the Ye Family, no one else had received such favorable treatnt!
Even within the entire Ye Family, only he, the most favored candidate of the third generation to take over, had such privileges!
“Wenhao, this is my promise to him and also my promise to you.”
As if guessing Ye Wenhao’s feelings, Old Master Ye sighed and said, “My request is simple: don’t bring up the divorce again.
It exposes us to ridicule and disturbs stability.
Besides that, you are the talent that the clan and faction have put great effort into developing.
I don’t wish to hear you talk about giving up your official career anymore, such talk is irresponsible and not the kind of responsibility a man should take!”
“Grandfather, I…”
“The country cos first, then the family, and personal matters last,” Old Master Ye interrupted Ye Wenhao, “A true gentleman may have personal affections, but he must not be short of heroic spirit.
Family responsibility is indeed important, but one must also live up to the clan, and more importantly, to this country—this country was bought with the blood of countless ancestors who gave up personal affections, families, even their lives!”
“Wenhao will bear Grandfather’s teachings in mind.”
Ye Wenhao’s heart trembled, and he ultimately chose to compromise, partially because Old Master Ye was stating facts, and partly because he knew that Old Master Ye had given him and Ye Fan everything they could have asked for!
“Don’t let down!”
Old Master Ye let out a soft sigh, then hung up the phone.
“Dad, are you sure this is the right arrangent?” Ye Zhen couldn’t help but ask with puzzlent as the call ended.
The once-cloudy eyes of Old Master Ye Yuanshan now glittered with sharpness, and he said with deep aning, “Perspective dictates height, and magnanimity determines scope.
In the future, you will understand my intentions!”
