"Dad? You... what did you just say? Grandpa’s not going to look for that little bastard surnad Ye anymore?"
At the Guo Family residence, Guo Tuan, bedridden, suddenly shouted excitedly.
The reason was simple. After accompanying Old Gu to et Ye Fei, Elder Guo deeply sensed Ye Fei’s potential for future developnt.
Thus, Guo Tuan’s vendetta of being crippled was naturally set aside by Elder Guo.
Guo Wenyuan looked at his son in this state—feeling both heartache and anger—and said, "It’s all because of your reckless behavior, you little rascal! Otherwise, how could you have ended up like this? Anyway, your grandfather won’t trouble Mr. Ye, and no one from our Guo Family will go help you deal with him either!"
"Dad! Am I... am I even your son? No matter what, I’m at odds with that guy surnad Ye, and if Grandpa won’t act, then when I recover, I’ll get soone to kill him!" Guo Tuan snarled furiously.
"You dare!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Wenyuan imdiately roared with fury.
"What’s going on? Just got back, and you’re already fighting again?"
At that mont, Elder Guo entered accompanied by Guo Can. Seeing the argunt between Guo Wenyuan and his son, he imdiately frowned.
"Grandpa! You’re back?"
Guo Tuan, upon seeing Elder Guo, twisted his body in excitent and took on a pitiful look, saying, "Grandpa, that young bastard surnad Ye made end up like this. Don’t you feel any pain for ?"
"Of course, I feel pain. After all, you’re my dear grandson. But when it cos to matters concerning Ye Fei, let’s put them to rest!" Elder Guo sighed and said.
"Let it go?"
Guo Tuan’s voice instantly shot up eight octaves: "Grandpa! I’m your biological grandson!"
"What of being a biological grandson? When compared to the hundred years of legacy of our Guo Family, even if you are my dear grandson, you must step aside!" Elder Guo snorted coldly.
Guo Tuan, seeing Elder Guo’s anger, beca so frightened he didn’t dare utter another word.
Guo Wenyuan, however, beca curious and quickly asked, "Dad! When you accompanied Old Gu to see Mr. Ye, did sothing happen?"
"Uncle, Old Gu wants Ye Fei to join the military as the commander of the Iron Blood Division!" Guo Can imdiately chid in.
"Commander of the Iron Blood Division?"
Guo Wenyuan, upon hearing this, was clearly as puzzled as Guo Can had been earlier. "Even so, Dad, it wouldn’t warrant such a big reaction from you, would it?"
"What do you know?"
Elder Guo imdiately glared at Guo Wenyuan and repeated what Old Gu had said to Guo Can earlier.
When Guo Wenyuan and Guo Tuan heard that the commander of the Iron Blood Division was, in fact, a future general, they were dumbfounded.
"A general? Dad! You... you’re joking, aren’t you? Even if Mr. Ye is... is unbelievably talented, he’s only seventeen or eighteen years old!" Guo Wenyuan still couldn’t believe it.
"Exactly! He’s only seventeen or eighteen!"
Elder Guo sighed as he thought about Ye Fei and then glanced at Guo Can, who was about the sa age as Ye Fei. He could only shake his head and say, "The golden carp is not a fish to be confined to shallow waters; it transforms into a dragon upon eting the storms! This young man, at such an age, possesses formidable strength and uncanny intellect, far beyond normal reasoning! Not to ntion what the division commander..."
"Old Gu? What about him?" Guo Wenyuan asked curiously.
"Better not speak of it!"
Elder Guo shook his head and said, "There’s even more you wouldn’t expect!"
"More we wouldn’t expect? What is it?" Guo Wenyuan asked.
"Ye Fei refused!" Elder Guo said.
"Re... Refused? How could that be possible?"
Guo Wenyuan was completely astonished upon hearing that.
Was Ye Fei mad?
This kind of opportunity was a once-in-a-lifeti chance!
Seize it, and Ye Fei could imdiately soar to unimaginable heights, becoming a man above n!
Yet, Ye Fei actually refused? Guo Wenyuan couldn’t believe it and didn’t even know how to describe Ye Fei!
While Guo Wenyuan was still stunned, Elder Guo snorted coldly and said, "Do you think Ye Fei is foolish?"
"Isn’t he?" Guo Wenyuan asked in confusion.
"Humph! That’s why you’ll never be as capable as your younger brother. As the eldest, you should have taken up the Family Head position, but it had to fall to your younger brother. I really... really don’t know what to say to you!"
Elder Guo glared at Guo Wenyuan in disappointnt, then explained, "Ancient history tells of Lord Liu making three visits to Zhuge Kongming’s thatched cottage! Had Ye Fei accepted imdiately, the division commander would have looked down on him. But precisely because he refused, Ye Fei’s value in the eyes of the commander increased even more!"
"Right now, Ye Fei is Zhuge Kongming, and the commander is Lord Liu! If the commander truly goes to such lengths as paying him three visits, then Ye Fei, upon entering the fray, would undoubtedly rise like a dragon unleashed into the sea or soaring into the clouds, his prospects limitless—even surpassing our Guo Family!"
Upon hearing this, Guo Wenyuan, Guo Tuan, and Guo Can all wore expressions of pure disbelief.
None of them had expected Elder Guo to give Ye Fei such a high evaluation!
It was unclear how long they remained stunned when Elder Guo finally sighed and said, "Guo Tuan’s matter still needs resolution. In a few days, with the lunar new year approaching, you and your younger brother will accompany to visit Ye Fei again!"
"Visit? But Dad, didn’t you say that if he agreed with Old Gu’s offer, our Guo Family would also..."
"Humph! What do you think I’m going for?"
Before Guo Wenyuan could finish speaking, Elder Guo interrupted him, "I’m going to help your precious son apologize to him!"
Guo Wenyuan was frozen in place upon hearing this...
As for the Guo Family’s discussions, Ye Fei was naturally unaware.
Even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. At this mont, he was already driving Master Ma’s rcedes to Binjiang.
With the New Year approaching and Binjiang being a coastal tropolis, the train station was particularly crowded.
But Ye Fei’s father, Ye Zhigang, insisted that Ye Fei not drive to pick him up and preferred to take the train to Binjiang. This left Ye Fei with no choice but to park his car in the lot and stand stiffly amid the crowded station to wait.
"Dad! Mom! Sister!"
After what felt like an eternity, Ye Fei finally spotted his parents, younger sister, and Master Ma coming out of the station, and he imdiately rushed over with a wide smile.
"Brother!"
His younger sister, Ye Qianqian, the most energetic of the group, dashed straight into Ye Fei’s arms, beaming proudly as she said, "Brother, this ti my mock exam score was thirty full marks higher than the minimum standard required for top-tier universities! Do I get a reward?"
"You little rascal! The first thing you say upon arrival is demanding a reward from your brother! Isn’t doing well in exams your own responsibility?"
Before Ye Fei could reply, Ye’s mother, Su Hongyun, stepped forward with a loving smile and said.
"No way, no way! I want my reward no matter what!"
Ye Qianqian pouted cutely, putting on a coquettish face.
Seeing her like this, Ye Fei’s parents couldn’t help bursting into laughter, and even Master Ma smiled at the joyful family reunion.
But at that mont, a sudden interruption shattered the warmth.
A voice dripping with disdain and mockery echoed from behind Ye Fei: "Ye Zhigang, long ti no see, huh?"
