Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024 [Ye Family Assembly] Seventh Update!

Ye Chenfeng was filled with curiosity about this woman he had met twice. Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but issue an order to Adolf to investigate this woman, Yu Chisu.

…

The next day, at the Mansion No. 49, the Ye Family Residence.

No one knew what day it was today, but almost all the Ye Family members were present, making the scene exceptionally lively.

The second generation of the Ye Family were silent as though in the presence of a profound chill, seemingly daunted by the elderly man standing at the center.

However, the third generation was chatting and laughing, occasionally bursting into laughter, as if demonstrating the thriving lineage of the Ye Family.

Indeed, among the Eight Great Families, the Ye Family was undoubtedly the most populous, especially with many talents under their name. Ye Mingtian was renowned as the perfect man, not to mention, Ye Ziyue and Ye Ziyong had greatly enhanced the family’s reputation, making other families envious.

Ye Jianguo’s tiger-like eyes swept over the third generation of the Ye Family. Although there were a few who troubled him or whom he looked down on from the heart,

he was still very satisfied with most of them, especially the representatives led by Ye Mingtian.

Looking at the rest of his grandchildren, Ye Jianguo thought to himself: If these people had even half of what Ye Mingtian and others have, the golden era of the Ye Family would undoubtedly arrive.

“How did you fare in this hunting competition, Ziling and Zimo?” Ye Jianguo’s imposing gaze suddenly fell on Ye Ziling and Ye Zimo.

The hunting competition, although held by the spendthrifts for fun, had now been accepted within the circle, and was particularly valued by the elder generation, as it could reveal some things in certain aspects.

Even though the elders of each family did not show it, they actually valued it increasingly.

Take Qin Changtian, for example, he specially took Qin Yanran for practical training before the hunting contest, just to shine in the competition and let the people of the Capital City know: The Qin Family is still strong, even the girls.

“Well, this…”

The previously joyous Ye Ziling and Ye Zimo suddenly fell silent, only daring to timidly glance at Ye Jianguo without uttering a word.

What about their results? They were repeatedly robbed by Ye Chenfeng, and finally returned with just a few sparrows.

Ye Zimo even tried to show off to Qin Yanran, wanting to give her one or two sparrows, only to witness Qin Yanran’s six wild boars being hauled up.

Yesterday was truly a disgrace; it’s likely Ye Zimo won’t be socializing with people from the circle for a long time; the humiliation yesterday was immense.

“Ziling, Zimo, you two are something, aren’t you? Only managed to hunt a few sparrows, not bad indeed, at least you didn’t come last, really impressive. If you hadn’t caught anything, my face, Ye Jianguo’s, would have lost all respect.” Ye Jianguo raised his tone suddenly, startling everyone present.

But everyone was used to it, as Ye Jianguo had always been the embodiment of strictness. If he didn’t scold like this, everyone would feel unaccustomed instead.

His words seemed to appreciate that Ye Zimo and the others hadn’t come last, but in fact, it was a veiled criticism of Ye Ziling and Ye Zimo.

“Grandpa, we…”

Ye Ziling and Ye Zimo exchanged a glance, eager to tell Ye Jianguo about what happened in the jungle, but they held back.

They knew well that if they shared this deeply humiliating incident with Ye Jianguo, they would never be able to raise their heads in front of him again.

“Heh, you really did a great job. By the way, I heard that the Qin Family’s young girl, Qin Yanran, won first place this time, making that old man Qin Changtian so happy he was over the moon. He even specially called me.” Ye Jianguo said with dissatisfaction, but there was a look of envy in his eyes.

Ye Zimo and Ye Ziling, with their heads bowed, awkwardly said, “Grandpa, we’re sorry, we embarrassed you.”

“Dad, you also know what Zimo and Ziling are like, expecting them to get good results in the hunting competition is really a tough ask for them.”

At this moment, a middle-aged man interrupted, he wore glasses and appeared very gentle, like a university professor.

He was Ye Jianguo’s third son, Ye Chengwen. Naturally timid, he was involved in some import and export business, which was quite good, but in Ye Jianguo’s eyes, it was embarrassing.

Ye Chengwen did not carry an ounce of his father’s vigor, being too timid, and was henpecked, with everything being dictated by his wife, Wang Hui.

However, he did raise a good son, Ye Ziyue, who was deeply favored by Ye Jianguo, and in recent years, with Ye Mingtian’s disappearance, Ye Ziyue was being groomed as the future head of the Ye Family.

But Ye Chengwen’s other son, Ye Zimo, not only inherited Ye Chengwen’s timid nature, but also had habits typical of a spendthrift. He wasn’t loved by Ye Jianguo and was a trouble for Ye Chengwen.

“You shut up!”

Ye Jianguo snapped, and instantly, Ye Chengwen obediently shut his mouth, remaining as silent as a child who had done something wrong.

“Grandpa, since you know everything so clearly, you must also know, this hunting competition had nothing to do with Qin Yanran at all. It was her expert who did the hunting. According to Qin Yanran’s skills, perhaps even a half wild boar couldn’t be hunted. To hunt down six wild boars at once, how could it be possible? It has nothing to do with her.” Ye Zimo, true to his name, remained silent, dare not speak.

But Ye Ziling bravely said it out loud, attributing all achievements as unrelated to Qin Yanran.

“Hmph!”

Ye Jianguo coldly snorted, his piercing gaze falling on Ye Ziling: “Heh, you dare say it has nothing to do with Qin Yanran. Then, why don’t you have such talents around you? Why is it that others do?”

“Well, this…”

Ye Jianguo’s consecutive questions left Ye Ziling tongue-tied, not knowing how to retort.

“As far as I know, that little girl from the Qin Family usually likes to make friends, with a group of rich kids always trailing behind her. And this certain Ye, they only knew each other for less than a month yet were willing to help her and help that little girl from the Qin Family get first place. Can you say this has nothing to do with that little girl from the Qin Family? Can you say she has no skill at all? Sure, perhaps with her capability she can’t even hunt half a wild boar, but she knows how to leverage others. Sometimes knowing how to leverage is far more effective than brute force. Sigh, when will you all understand this? You can’t always rely on the name of the Ye Family forever.”

“Grandpa, we understand our mistake and will surely heed your teachings.” Ye Ziling immediately complied.

“Master, Young Master Mingtian called; he’s unable to come for the time being and asked me to convey his apologies.” A person who appeared to be a butler came forward and informed Ye Jianguo.
