Hearing Ye Chen's words, Ye Changkong was depressed to the extreme.
He understood Ye Chen's meaning, from now on, whether he lived in the Ye family or not, whether he stayed in Yanjing or not, he, Ye Chen, had officially returned to the Ye family.
Ye Changkong cursed in his heart, "This kid is a bit disgusting when he gets like this ......"
However, in front of the old man, he did not dare to say a word.
So, he could only say with a smile, "Fine, fine! It's good to be back!"
The old man turned to introduce Ye Chen to his third uncle Ye Changyun, fourth uncle Ye Changjun, as well as his aunt Ye Changmin and youngest aunt Ye Changxiu.
When Ye Changmin was introduced, Ye Changmin's expression was very attentive and said with an excited face, "Chen'er, auntie has waited for you for so many years, and you've finally come back! Your parents' spirits in heaven will be so relieved!"
He said, choking back a few fake sobs, but there were no tears flowing down his face.
Ye Chen had already gotten used to Ye Changmin's behavior. After all, Ye Changmin was the daughter of the noble Ye family, and in the current fashionable language, she was definitely an old princess.
The old princess had been arrogant and domineering all her life and had never had to bow down to anyone, so it was understandable that her acting skills were not very good at the moment.
After all, an old princess like this would not have the energy to study and improve her acting skills.
Ye Chen could also see that she had tried her best to act, but her tears were really not obedient.
So, Ye Chen also smiled faintly and said politely, "Thank you, aunt."
It was Ye Changxiu, the youngest aunt who had not spoken, who had not said a word but whose eyes were already red.
By the time Elder Ye introduced her, she could not hold back her tears, pulling Ye Chen's hand while crying and choking, "Chen'er, this time when you come back, don't ever leave again ......"
Looking at his little aunt, who was about forty years old in front of him, Ye Chen couldn't help but recall his childhood in his heart.
Little aunt Ye Changxiu was a whole round older than himself, and when he was small, he was a child and she was an older child.
Back then, he was very clingy to her because she would take him with her every day after school to play.
And she in turn was very clingy to her dad, because of the several older siblings, she had the best relationship with him.
And Ye Chen's father also doted on his youngest sister the most back then, basically treating her like a daughter and giving her whatever she wanted, so although the two siblings were quite different in age, they did have a very cordial relationship.
As far as Ye Chen could remember, her younger sister was very lively and cheerful and did not have as many petty thoughts as Ye Changmin.
At that time, Ye Changmin got close to Ye Changkong and deliberately distanced herself from her father, Ye Changye.
The reason for this was that Ye Changmin felt that the future heir of the Ye family would definitely be Ye Changkong, who was the eldest son, so she had already developed a sense of standing in line early on.
It was Ye Changxiu, on the contrary, who had never had those complicated thoughts.
When Ye Chen followed his parents to leave home, his younger aunt Ye Changxiu was attending school abroad, and Ye Chen's memory of her was still stuck in the image of when she graduated from high school and everyone sent her abroad.
At that time, she was still a young girl, but now, she had reached her age of confusion.
Seeing his little aunt's true feelings, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief in his heart and said respectfully, "Little aunt, don't worry, I've come back this time to acknowledge my ancestors, and even if I leave Yanjing temporarily in the future, I won't break off my ties with the Ye family."
With these words, Ye Chen's meaning was already very clear.
After he returned to the Ye family this time, he would definitely still have to return to Jinling, but he had already officially acknowledged his ancestors and would officially become a part of the Ye family's direct lineage again in the future.
When they heard these words, Ye Zhongquan and Ye Changxiu were naturally happy, but when the others heard them, they were all very upset in their hearts.
This statement by Ye Chen about acknowledging his ancestors meant that there would be another competitor in the future battle for the family fortune.
After the old man led Ye Chen to greet the elders one by one, the rest were those who were Ye Chen's equals.
The oldest was Ye Feng, followed by Ye Hao, and several other relatively young siblings.
Apart from Ye Feng and Ye Hao, the rest of the rich second generation, who had been brought up well, did not feel much for Ye Chen, a relative who had been away from home for twenty years, and everyone just exchanged a few superficial pleasantries.
