To sound out
Xiao Hai stood in front of the car door. The car had already arrived at the Xiao family for a while, but Ye Zichen just sat in the car without coming out.
"Xiao Ye, get off the car."
"Do you know this is kidnapping?"
Ye Zichen put on a tsundere look. He already said that he wouldn't come, but Xiao Hai directly threw him over and caught him.
Was this how one should treat a benefactor?
He had saved the old man's life. Not only did he not treat him with respect, but he actually used violence against him.
Even a clay figurine had a bit of anger.
"Hehe, I heard that Little Ye is here."
A hearty laughter came from outside the door. Xiao Hai turned his head and was shocked.
"Grandpa, why did you come out?"
The Old Master was here.
Ye Zichen, who was lying in the car like a lord, also sat up. It was fine for him to put on airs with Xiao Hai, since they were of the same age.
But Old Master Xiao did not dare to do so.
"Old Man Xiao."
Ye Zichen stood humbly in front of Old Man Xiao. Old Man Xiao chuckled.
"So this is Little Ye. Not bad, a talented man."
"You flatter me, Old Master."
Ye Zichen immediately returned the greeting.
"Haha, don't be so polite. You saved this old fellow's life. Speaking of which, you are this old fellow's great benefactor. "Old Man Xiao laughed heartily." Since you're here, come in and have a seat. "
This was Ye Zichen's second visit to the Xiao family estate.
But even so, he was secretly shocked by the Xiao family's extravagance.
It was an independent manor that was almost as big as the villa area where he had bought the villa.
He entered the living room of the villa and saw a pot of Longjing tea and three teacups on the coffee table.
"Sit."
Old Man Xiao pointed at the seat on the sofa and indicated Ye Zichen to sit down.
"Little Ye, to be honest, this old man is really grateful to you. I thought I would have to spend the rest of my life in a sickbed. I didn't expect … "
Old Man Xiao sighed. Ye Zichen could only smile awkwardly.
He really did not know how to deal with this kind of old man who had lived for a long time.
Xiao Hai, who was extremely domineering outside, sat beside Ye Zichen like an obedient baby, and didn't dare to say anything.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room became awkward.
"Little Ye."
"Yes!" Ye Zichen immediately straightened his back.
"I heard from Little Hai that you used a pill called the Great Cyclic Pill to save this old man." When Old Man Xiao mentioned this, his eyes flashed.
"Yes," Ye Zichen nodded.
"I wonder who Little Ye's ancestor is …" Old Man Xiao shook his head and said with a smile, "Sorry, I asked too much. This is Little Ye's secret, I have no right to pry into it. "
"Hehe …" Ye Zichen chuckled idiotically. For some reason, he felt like this old guy wasn't as harmless as he seemed.
How could a person who could establish such a big company be an ordinary person?
"Lil 'Ye, do you still have that pill?"
Old Man Xiao spoke up once again. Hearing that, Ye Zichen tensed up.
"Don't think too much. I'm just asking for medicine for an old friend of mine. He's about the same age as me. He's old and has many illnesses. "
"Old Master, forgive me for being powerless."
Ye Zichen smiled helplessly. He did have more Great Cyclic Pills on hand, but he wasn't an idiot.
This old fellow obviously smelled something unusual. If he were to be silly and say everything, who knew what would happen.
Chief Liu had asked him before for no reason if he was someone from that place!
He didn't know where that place was.
Since it was unknown, then it was dangerous. It was best if he didn't touch it randomly.
"That's truly a shame."
Old Man Xiao shook his head and rubbed his temples.
"Lil 'Hai, keep Lil' Ye company here. I'm going back to my room to rest for a while. I'm old, my body just isn't good. I can't even sit for a while. "
"Grandpa, take care."
Old Man Xiao returned to his room with the help of a servant. Only then did Xiao Hai smile apologetically, "Lil 'Ye, don't think too much.
"Little Ye, don't think too much. My grandfather is just like that. After staying in the business for a long time, he likes to think about people. However, you have to believe that he has a good heart. He definitely won't force you or investigate you in secret. "
As Xiao Hai explained for Old Man Xiao, Ye Zichen also nodded with a smile.
Ye Zichen also nodded with a smile, "Understood."
"Alright, then sit here for a while. I'll go and tell the kitchen to arrange the banquet."
"Sure."
After Xiao Hai left, Ye Zichen was the only one left in the living room.
Only then did he let out a long sigh.
Old Man Xiao liked to think about people, but wasn't Xiao Hai the same?
Since they were both businessmen, then they would have the problem of businessmen and like to think about other people's thoughts.
Ye Zichen felt that it was better to interact less with businessmen in the future. Otherwise, his chat group with deities might be exposed one day.
"Lil 'Hai, what do you think of Lil' Ye?"
If Ye Zichen found out that Xiao Hai didn't go to arrange the banquet, and instead went to Old Man Xiao's room, he would definitely get goosebumps and directly turn around to leave.
"Grandpa, Lil 'Ye is my good little brother. Can you not treat him like you would treat a business enemy?"
Xiao Hai was a bit angry. However, Old Man Xiao slammed the table.
"Idiot."
Xiao Hai instantly lowered his head.
"We businessmen rely on thinking about other people's thoughts in order to go further. This Ye Zichen has a mysterious identity. If you don't understand his background, how are you going to become good friends with him? What's more, I think that Lil 'Ye isn't sincere towards you. "
"Grandpa, you can't treat Lil 'Ye with your old way of thinking. He's different from other people."
Xiao Hai still wanted to argue, but when he thought about Old Man Xiao's stubbornness, he gave up.
"Never mind, there's no need for this banquet. I don't want to pry into what Lil 'Ye is thinking, nor do I want to know if he can be sincere towards me. What's more, don't you feel like Lil 'Ye is very similar to an old friend of yours? "
"Who!?"
"Grandpa Gu."
The moment Xiao Hai said that, Old Man Xiao suddenly fell into deep thought.
"Grandpa, think about it. Grandpa Gu left in the end because you liked to think about other people's thoughts, isn't that right?"
"Preposterous!"
Ugh.
Old Man Xiao, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and fell onto the ground.
Only after Ye Zichen stayed in the living room for a long time did he notice that the living room was actually a bit creepy.
He didn't dare to take out his phone to look at the group chat. God knows if there were any surveillance cameras in the mansion that were monitoring him.
Dong, dong, dong.
A series of hurried footsteps sounded out from the stairs of the second floor of the mansion. Ye Zichen looked up and saw Xiao Hai running towards him anxiously.
However, Ye Zichen was a bit confused.
Xiao Hai had left from the door, and he didn't enter afterwards.
Why did he come down from the second floor?
"Hai-ge, shouldn't you explain it to me?"
Ye Zichen's expression turned cold. Xiao Hai grabbed his arm.
