Xiao Zheng listened to Elder Ye's words in silence, his eyes flashing with light from time to time.
He could clearly feel from Elder Ye's words that even though Zhao Zhangfeng had been dead for half a century. His influence in Hua Xia was still maintained to this day. Furthermore, as the big shots who had a close relationship with him climbed to the top, it also increased the influence of the descendants of the Zhao family in Hua Xia.
At least, as long as the descendants of the Zhao family did not do anything that would bring disaster to the country and the people, even if Elder Ye made a move, he would not be able to cause any substantial harm.
This was probably the most precious resource that Zhao Zhangfeng had left behind for his descendants. It could be said to be a privileged resource!
"Xiao Zheng. I still say the same thing, if you can jump out, don't forget to hide inside. "Elder Ye lit a cigarette and said with a solemn expression. "This matter has nothing to do with you. It shouldn't be borne by you. "
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he grinned and squinted his eyes, "Lord Ye. "Elder Ye, are you scolding me?"
Elder Ye shook his head lightly, not saying a word.
"Who cares about the background of the descendants of the Zhao family? I also don't care if they return to Hua Xia to commit murder, arson, or bring disaster to the country and the people. At least with me, they won't be able to get any benefits. " Xiao Zheng drank a mouthful of water, his eyes inadvertently falling on Elder Lin in the distance. "I've been trying my best to climb up these few years? Not for fame, not for profit? Just hoping to have the ability to protect the people who care about me and the people I care about? I've worked so hard to get to where I am now, if I retreat when I encounter some difficulties? Then wouldn't I have wasted my time? "
"You have guts!" Ye Canghua raised his thumb and grinned. "Old man, don't count on persuading Xiao Zheng to turn back. Don't you know what kind of person he is? "
Elder Ye frowned and shook his head. "I just don't want to drag Xiao Zheng down."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Elder Ye, let's not talk about my personal attitude. Let's not talk about my personal attitude. Even if I stay away from trouble, will I really not be targeted by anyone? "
"Elder Lin once said to me, a treasure is a crime. Even if I don't have a jade, I still have a few pieces of gold. "Xiao Zheng said meaningfully. "Do you think I still have a chance to stay out of this?"
Hearing this, Duke Ye sighed softly, "It's me, this old man, who dragged you into this."
The conversation ended there. Xiao Zheng did not continue the discussion, and Ye Canghua immediately coaxed the old man upstairs for his afternoon nap.
"I'm getting old, it's inevitable that I'm a bit talkative." Ye Canghua smiled and shrugged. "Xiao Zheng, don't mind him."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he glanced sideways at Ye Canghua. "When did your family status become so high?"
"Hasn't my status always been this high?" Ye Canghua sneered and threw a cigarette into his mouth. Inexplicably, he felt a little sad.
Xiao Zheng vaguely sensed something. His heart thumped and he asked in a low voice, "Is the old man hiding something from me?"
Ye Canghua spat out a mouthful of smoke. The green smoke lingered on his handsome face, and there was a bit of indescribable loneliness.
"I'm getting old, it's inevitable that I have some old age diseases." Ye Canghua said lightly. "It doesn't matter."
Old age diseases?
Xiao Zheng glanced at Lin Huayin, who was accompanying Tang Yue in the living room, and his voice became even lower. "What's the problem?"
Xiao Zheng was too close, and he also knew that it was difficult to hide it. A bitter smile appeared on his face. "A few days ago, the old man went to the hospital for a physical examination. The doctor said that it might be in the next two years. Let the family be mentally prepared. And spend more time with the old man. "
After hearing this, Xiao Zheng was sweating all over.
He slightly clenched his fingers, and his eyes blurred. "You plan to keep it a secret?"
"There's nothing to hide." Ye Canghua spat out a mouthful of smoke and said bitterly. "But the situation is complicated now. The old man plans to hide it as long as he can. After all, the Ye residence has him, and the descendants of the Zhao family dare not be too presumptuous. Otherwise — — "
Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, and said with his lips pursed, "Grandpa Ye is still thinking about the descendants even at this point."
"In the end, I'm still too useless." Ye Canghua smiled bitterly. "Otherwise, the old man wouldn't have to live so tirelessly."
Xiao Zheng glanced at Ye Canghua. He knew that Ye Canghua must be feeling very uncomfortable. The old man's serious illness happened in the last two years. But he couldn't do anything to help. If it was anyone else's son, they would feel extremely guilty.
"Does my mother-in-law know about this?" Xiao Zheng changed the topic. He didn't want Ye Canghua to get involved.
"Not yet." Ye Canghua shook his head and smiled bitterly. "The old man asked me to strictly keep it a secret. No one can leak it."
"Then how long can it be hidden?" Xiao Zheng asked.
Ye Canghua put out the cigarette and drank half a cup of strong tea. "Let's take it one step at a time."
After a pause, he suddenly said, "The old man said that the biggest regret of his life is not having a great-grandson."
Xiao Zheng laughed and said helplessly, "I'll try my best. I'll try my best to make sure Grandpa Ye doesn't have any regrets. "
Ye Canghua shook his head. "You don't need to feel pressured. The old man just said it casually. He said that being able to live until now is already a blessing. How can we not leave with regrets in our lives? "
Xiao Zheng's heart was very heavy. What appeared in his mind was Grandpa Ye's voice and smile.
The old man had helped Xiao Zheng a lot these years. He had even helped him a few times. Even the young geniuses of the younger generation were envious to the point of being unreasonably jealous.
But in the end, he didn't do anything for the old man. He felt guilty, but he also felt that he wanted to raise a child but his parents weren't here.
With Grandpa Ye's age, even if he passed away now, he would be considered to have died of old age. But to Xiao Zheng, who lacked the warmth of a family since he was young, the Ye Residences was his first healthy home. Every time he came to the Ye Residences, he could completely let down his guard and not be vigilant at all.
But now, the hospital had given Grandpa Ye a death notice. They didn't even give him a treatment plan. They only prescribed warm medicine to prolong Grandpa Ye's life. To let him finish the last stretch of the road comfortably.
Thinking about this, Xiao Zheng's heart sank to the bottom.
He was thinking about whether he should tell Old Lin about this or not.
Logically speaking, Xiao Zheng had enough reason to tell Old Lin. But on the other hand, Old Lin was the most difficult person to accept.
All these years, Grandpa Ye was probably the grandfather that Old Lin felt the most familial love. Now that Grandpa Ye didn't have long to live, wouldn't telling Old Lin be the cruelest harm to her?
"Let's hide it for a while longer if we can." Ye Canghua lit another cigarette and said bitterly. "Hua Yin is a stubborn child, but her relationship with the old man is very deep. I don't want her to be too sad. "
Xiao Zheng nodded and pursed his lips, "Then let's not talk about it for now."
After a pause, he looked deeply at Ye Canghua. "Uncle, you too."
Hearing this form of address from Xiao Zheng's mouth, he smiled and said, "What kind of storms has your First Uncle not experienced? It's okay, I can handle it. "
