The so-called Young Master of the Ye Family

The Xing family was quite harmonious, but the Ye family was the other way around. None of them had foreseen that Senior Ye would take Ye Xingchen home this time. After all, although the latter was the eldest grandson in his family, he didn't matter after his parents divorced, not to mention his father married again and had another son. Later, he left his home for more than a decade. Therefore, he didn't have much connection with those people. Given the fact that he had used to be an actor before doomsday, which was despised by his family, the rest of his family didn't even know his existence even if he was supposed to be valued the most.

"Look who is here. Xingchen, what brings you home today?"

As soon as Lin Yin saw Ye Xingchen when she went out to greet Senior Ye, she asked sharply. Ye Xingyu was standing next to her, staring at his elder brother curiously. He didn't know Ye Cingchen's existence until he was more than ten years old. His family happened to see Ye Xingchen's advertisement on TV one day, and suddenly his father's face turned gloomy while his mother couldn't stop complaining. Finally, he realized that this well-known celebrity was actually his half-brother.

Ever since then, Ye Xingyu had started to collect everything about Ye Xingchen, i.e. all his original soundtracks and video discs. His friends in the military academy teased that he was a big fan of Ye Xingchen, but he didn't bother to explain. After a long time, he began to have some special feelings about his big brother. On the one hand, he couldn't understand why Ye Xingchen abandoned his identity as the young master of the Ye family but went against the whole family and became an actor; on the other hand, he envied that Ye Xingchen could make achievements in his favored field, while his life was destined since the moment he was born, and all he had to do was to follow the schedule.

Lin Yin meant nothing good when she asked. Although Jiang Shang was not talkative, he could realize what she was trying to say. Immediately afterwards, he glared at Lin Yin, but Ye Xingchen patted the back of his hand, then raised his head and said, "Well, it's not my plan, either. But Grandpa insisted. If we are not welcomed here, Aunt Yin, we should probably get going."

Then he held Jiang Shang's hand and was about to leave. Ye Qishan was pissed, "What nonsense are you saying? This is your home. If anything got a problem with that, I'd like to kick her out first!"

As Ye Qishan said that, he took a look at Lin Yin meaningfully. He might be aged, but he knew what was going on under the roof. The truth was, he had long known why Ye Yijin and Lin Yin had treated Ye Xingchen badly all these years more or less, but he allowed them before because Ye Xingchen let him down as well. Unfortunately, time had changed. Right now, Ye Xingchen was not only the bridge for his family to make contact with the Xing family and the Mo family, he was also an outstanding man. Ye Qishan even had planned to invite him home to inherit the family.

"Where is Ye Yijin? Tell him to get his ass here now!"

Senior Shu was not supposed to deal with the private issues of the Ye family, but he couldn't allow his grandson to be bullied even before he got into the family. If so, what would happen to him afterwards? Therefore, Senior Shu believed it was his responsibility to protect Ye Xingchen. Given his identity, it would be awkward if he made things hard for Lin Yin. But for his ex-son-in-law, that would be fine.

Lin Yin was dumbfounded to witness the two getting pissed one and another. It was not all her fault actually. Before Ye Xingchen went back, all she had heard from Ye Yijin was blaming Ye Xingchen for his ungrateful behaviors. Therefore, she got the conclusion that all those in the Ye family didn't like Ye Xingchen at all. However, she had no idea that Ye Xingchen was now someone even Senior Ye had to show some respect. He was no longer the actor who might bring shame to the family. And she needed time to accept all that.

"Mom."

Realizing the situation, Ye Xingyu went forward and tugged on his mother. He even touched Ye Xingchen from behind, "Brother, how could you leave after such a long absence? Come and get in, once father sees you, he will be…! Eh?"

Before Ye Xingyu finished, Jiang Shang pulled his hand away, and his face was full of displeasure.

"Don't touch."

Jiang Shang then frowned as he looked at Ye Xingyu, feeling like he had done nothing inappropriate. Ye Xingchen didn't like the family, neither did he.

"Eh, sorry I didn't introduce myself first. I'm Ye Xingyu, his younger brother, not some strange guys."

Assuming that Jiang Shang might be jealous, Ye Xingyu was speechless and explained immediately.

"No."

Jiang Shang shook his head and didn't continue until a long time later, "I don't like it."

However, despite how serious he was when answering, unlike Ye Xingchen, the Ye family couldn't figure out what was between the lines.

"It's all right, Jiang. I'm fine."

No matter how indifferent Ye Xingchen was when facing the Ye family, he was always full of love and gentleness in front of Jiang Shang. Even those who had sensory disorders could feel how he loved and spoiled Jiang Shang. Maybe it was because he was six years older, he had been acting that way since they were together and Jiang Shang was always his priority no matter what.

"Chen!"

Like him, Jiang Shang only acted lively and happy like a pet when facing him.

"Now be a good boy, and you will be rewarded later."

With so many people watching aside, even if Ye Xingchen was a bit shorter, he still reached out to stroke Jiang Shang's head as if he was indeed playing with his pet. And Jiang Shang seemed to enjoy it a lot, nodding repeatedly with a smile. It was supposed to make people feel sick to see two men entangling together. But with their pretty faces, well-built bodies, and deep love, people only felt that they were too perfect a match to care about their genders.

"Ahem, we should get in."

Ye Qishan couldn't help doing so and then headed in with Senior Shu. For the very first time, the two old men had finally experienced how it felt like when young couples enjoyed their loves in front of them.

"Brother Chen, Brother Jiang, we should probably get in as well."

Ye Xingyu also felt uncomfortable to witness the scene, especially they were doing it right in front of him. Although he had known that his brother was gay a long time ago, he had never expected them to develop such deep love. He even had the thought that he might just burn them alive. Poor single man.

"Thanks."

Compared to how Jiang Shang felt about his little brother, Ye Xingchen didn't really share a bond with Ye Xingyu. He was 11 years older than the latter. When Ye Xingyu was still in need of his parents to take care of, Ye Xingchen had accepted the education for elites. And later, when he couldn't bear everything at home and decided to leave, Ye Xingyu was just a little kid. They hadn't done anything together before. So, like others in the family, Ye Xingchen just treated him as another stranger who happened to share the same blood with him.

Big brother?!

That sounded polite and isolated. And that was also how Ye Xingyu had felt from Ye Xingchen. Looking at their backs, Ye Xingyu was a bit at a loss. He envied Jiang Shang, to be honest. Because Ye Xingchen was his big brother, yet he wasn't favored by him.

"Humph, he is just an abandoned boy who didn't even have his parents' love. Does he really consider himself the young master of the family?"

Lin Yin complained inwardly. Ye Xingchen had been a scourge in her eyes ever since she married Ye Yijin, and the feeling got stronger after she delivered Ye Xingyu. Getting worried that Ye Xingchen might be the biggest setback to her son, she had been said bad things about Ye Xingchen in front of Ye Yijin and finally kicked him out of the family. All these years, Ye Yijin always felt unpleasant whenever Ye Xingchen was mentioned. At the same time, her son Ye Xingyu had replaced his brother and became the only heir of the family. He had enjoyed both she and her husband's love, combined with Senior Ye's caring. But now, Ye Xingchen was back. And the way Senior Ye had treated him assured her that Ye Xingchen was a big threat. Therefore, she was quite annoyed.

"Mom, just be nice and talk less."

Ye Xingyu was speechless when seeing his mother like that. He knew exactly what was in her mind, but he didn't agree with her. Since Ye Xingchen was his big brother, he didn't think it would be a problem if Senior Ye decided to make Ye Xingchen the heir. Besides, Ye Xingchen didn't seem to care about inheriting the Ye family.

"Talk less? Xingyu, did you know that he was coming back?"

Lin Yin was pissed off immediately, but as an 18-year-old teenager, how could Ye Xingyu bear to listen to her nag?

"Mom, I got it, okay. I know everything happening here. Just stop, will you? I'm begging you, please."

After speaking, Ye Xingyu went straight to the house instantly. He was tired of her great speeches.

In the living room, the two old men were asking about the Northeast Base. Like the Xing family, it would be very troublesome if the mutant human being thing was true. Based on their experiences, it wasn't hard for them to realize why the Northeast Base was doing such researches. However, in the eyes of people at their age, China belonged to nobody but people of it. They wouldn't allow either anyone to rip it apart or whoever might have the thought to rule it as the ancient emperors did. If so, they would bring the Chinese people who had finally won their place in the world back to the pathetic feudal slavery society.

"Grandpa Ye, Grandpa Shu, what Yun Che had said to you is 100% true. He didn't have to lie to you, did he?"

Realizing they were desperate to confirm the authenticity of the information, Ye Xingchen held Jiang Shang's hand and leaned back, "I know that some of you might think Yun Che only got what he has now because of Xing Feng, considering his ordinary family background. But I'm telling you now that he was the only reason why Peak was created and grew stronger until today. How do you think of Senior Tan's perspective? Better than yours, huh? Well, he took the initiative to take Yun Che as his adopted grandson. To be honest, if you are willing to put your prejudices aside and judge him fairly, you will find he is special. Trusting him will be much easier than doubting him. You won't regret it."

Ye Xingchen considered this conversation a reward that the Ye family raised him. Whether he admitted it or not, he was a part of it. That wouldn't change no matter what. But that was it, nothing else. Because he wouldn't accept anything they might offer. For him, Peak was his real home, and Yun Che and other members were his real family.

"Yun Che, very impressive!"

Despite how inarticulate Jiang Shang was, he added seriously. As for Senior Ye and Senior Shu, they knew what Ye Xingchen was indicating, and they didn't mean to suspect Yun Che. However, to put it frankly, it was too big that they would rather believe it was all a lie and the Northeast Base wasn't as ambitious as Yun Che had claimed they were.

Well, anyone who first learned this might share the same thought. After all, lives after doomsday was already like hell. Who would expect to hear a war started by humans? They were not trying to fool themselves but hoping that they didn't have to turn their guns against their compatriots someday.
