Chapter 24 - 22 The Origin of the Ye Family
After separating from the beaming Ye Zimei, Ye Chen still seemed slightly dazed, as if the virgin fragrance of Ye Zimei still lingered on him, comforting his spirit.
He touched his nose and didn’t expect that there were still girls who liked him, especially the most beautiful and talented young lady of the family. He just didn’t know what those among his clansmen who harbored animosity towards him, especially those young men who had always cherished Ye Zimei, would think once they found out.
They probably had the urge to kill him.
Ye Chen chuckled and walked into the vast courtyard where his parents lived, a picture of luxury, with artificial mountains and flowing water, bridges and pavilions, red bricks, and green tiles, carved railings, and jade molding—only something a true noble could possess.
In the entire Luofeng City, probably only the three major families had the means to build such lavish gardens and pavilions.
Of course, within the entire Ye Family, only Ye Ao, the Family Head, had the privilege of residing in such a courtyard.
Ye Chen tidied his somewhat disheveled clothes and strode into the courtyard. Along the way, various maids and servants respectfully greeted him as young master, without a trace of disdain.
Those servants who could enter this courtyard were all loyal subordinates carefully selected by Ye Ao and Xia Wei. Ye Chen smiled and nodded in response to each one, devoid of the arrogance typical of sons of major household families, which made them feel even more fond of him, despite some helplessness.
Although the young master had a kind nature and was warm enough, it was a bit of a pity.
Turning from such an astonishingly talented genius into a laughingstock of a generation, it pained them to see his smile, but fortunately, he had protective parents.
In the main hall, before Ye Chen had fully walked in, his mother Xia Wei came out with eager parental concern, rushing over and grasping Ye Chen’s hand, her smile blossoming as she said, "Chen’er, you’ve finally finished your seclusion. Were you worried about your mother?"
