Chapter 2382 Family Portrait
After Ye Tianlong sent Ye Qiuqi back to the room, he also went back to his room to take a shower and sleep. He was really tired after a day of hard work.
He did not go to find Ye Weiguo again. There was another person in the room, probably an old friend of Ye Weiguo.
Ye Tianlong wanted to give Ye Weiguo more space and planned to talk to him about Sophie tomorrow morning.
He slept very well. When Ye Tianlong woke up, the clock pointed to seven o'clock and there was a lot of noise outside.
After washing up, he stood at the window and saw that the whole Ye family was decorated with lights and colors. Ye Qiuqi, Wu Xinran and Chen Taishi directed everyone to decorate the garden.
Tomorrow is Ye Weiguo's 100th birthday, a happy day, so the Ye family seemed very happy.
Chen Honghu also participated with plain clothes, responsible for checking the identities of people entering and leaving to avoid any accidents tomorrow.
Ye Tianlong was infected by the festive atmosphere and was very happy to see everyone busy. Then he remembered Sophie and hurried to the back garden.
Five minutes later, Ye Tianlong appeared in Ye Weiguo's room again. The whole bedroom was the same as last night, but the indifferent atmosphere was gone.
There was no doubt that the old friend had left.
Ye Tianlong retracted his attention and then looked for Ye Weiguo.
In his field of vision, Ye Weiguo stood in front of the photo frame with his hands behind his back, looking at the yellowed photo calmly, with an indescribable loneliness and desolation on his face.
"Grandpa, good morning."
Ye Tianlong raised a smile, then walked over and said with a smile: "You got up so early? It's windy and rainy, why don't you sleep a little longer?"
Ye Weiguo smiled and looked at Ye Tianlong: "I'm used to it. Except for the days when I'm sick or have a breakthrough, I get up at 5:45."
"Besides, I'm already this age. If I don't see the world a few more times, I won't be able to see it in the future."
The old man has his own open-mindedness: "Of course, there is another reason for getting up early today, that is to send an old friend away."
Seeing the old man talking, Ye Tianlong also smiled and asked: "The one who sat behind the desk last night?"
"That's right!"
Ye Weiguo showed a trace of approval in his eyes, and looked at Ye Tianlong and said slowly:
"Tianlong, you are really amazing. You can even sense his existence. You are worthy of being a martial arts genius that is rare in a century."
He sighed lightly: "He is a tenth-grade master with the ability to blend into the environment. Who knew that he was still discovered by you."
"Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa."
Ye Tianlong said frankly: "I can find it mainly because I am familiar with this room , so there is a foreign smell, and it can be smelled to some extent. "
"If I change to an unfamiliar environment or a more complicated place, I guess I won't be able to detect his existence."
Then Ye Tianlong asked tentatively: "Is this tenth-grade expert a tenth-grade master?"
"Yes, it is a tenth-grade master, who is an old acquaintance of yours."
Ye Weiguo did not hide it from Ye Tianlong: "Whether it is your performance in Tianmen or the chess game last night, he has a high opinion of you."
"He also said that if you become the successor of the Ye family, I can die with a smile on my face."
Ye Tianlong Long opened his mouth slightly, not knowing how to respond...
"Don't make that expression, Master Ten and I are close friends regardless of age, and there are no taboos."
Ye Weiguo patted Ye Tianlong on the shoulder: "And what he said makes sense, you are the heir of the Ye family, and I can rest in peace after death."
Ye Tianlong sighed softly: "Grandpa, don't say that, you will live a hundred years... No, you will be fine."
He wanted to slap himself in the face, longevity is a compliment to others, but it is a curse to Ye Weiguo, because he will be a hundred years old tomorrow.
Ye Weiguo didn't care and changed the subject: "Master Tenth Grade came to congratulate me yesterday."
"He doesn't like to join in the fun, so it's inconvenient for him to show up at tomorrow's birthday party, so he congratulated me and gave me gifts in advance."
He showed a trace of regret: "I asked him to stay for a few more days but he refused. He left early in the morning, saying that he wanted to prepare another birthday gift."
Ye Tianlong smiled: "Master Tenth Grade is really unique."
Ye Weiguo smiled and said: "Without any personality, can you become a master of Tenth Grade? You know, there are only four masters of Tenth Grade in the world with more than 8 billion people."
Ye Tianlong said: "Grandpa is only a hair's breadth away from the Tenth Grade."
"A hair's breadth can lead to a thousand miles of error."
Ye Weiguo said calmly: "Although I am older than Master Tenth Grade At the age of forty, he is still not as talented as him in martial arts. "
"But I don't care. Besides my indifferent personality, Tianlong, you will be promoted to the tenth rank sooner or later."
He was full of expectations for Ye Tianlong: "In at most twenty years, you will become the fifth tenth rank master."
"You are my grandson. You have become a superior person. I am happier than my grandfather reaching the top."
He looked up at the people in the photo frame with a trace of loneliness in his eyes: "In my heart, I have already regarded you as a family member."
Ye Tianlong said softly: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will take good care of the Ye family."
Then, he also followed Ye Weiguo to look at the photos on the wall. Twelve photos were photos of Ye Weiguo and his family of three on the mainland when he was young.
Because the eldest son had not grown up yet, the photos on the mainland were all family of three or single photos.
Ye Weiguo was handsome and tall when he was young. He looked like a javelin. Ye Tianlong also found that he had a three-point similar charm to himself.
The other dozen photos were photos of Ye Weiguo and his family in Taicheng when he was middle-aged.
Photos of Ye Weiguo and his wife, photos of the couple and their son, photos of Ye Weiguo and his wife and their son and daughter-in-law, photos of the five generations of grandparents and grandchildren...
Compared to the high spirits of his youth, Ye Weiguo in Taicheng is much more vicissitudes, even a little melancholy, as if he can't let go of his emotions.
Presumably he is thinking of his wife and eldest son on the other side of the river.
Seeing the photo of the five generations of grandparents and grandchildren, Ye Tianlong glanced again, trying to find a photo of the six generations of grandparents and grandchildren, but there was no photo of the six people in his field of vision.
"Qiu Qi looked like a boy when she was a child."
Ye Tianlong looked at the young baby in his arms: "Her hair stood up, like a golden lion king, completely different from now."
"But why don't I see a photo of Ye Tianlong with you?"
He asked curiously.
The photos on Ye Weiguo's wall are basically old photos, and they are also memories of his children and grandchildren when they were young, so he is a little puzzled that there is one less person in the family portrait.
Is it because Ye Tianlong is a loser that he doesn't appear in the photo?
This thought flashed through his mind, but was quickly denied by Ye Tianlong. With Ye Weiguo's character, it is impossible for him to do such a thing.
Ye Tianlong also stared at Ye Qiuqi's photo and examined it. He felt that this girl really looked like a boy when she was young. He didn't know why she grew up so charming later.
Ye Weiguo sighed lightly: "This child is Ye Tianlong."
"What? He is Ye Tianlong?"
Ye Tianlong was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that the child above was Ye Tianlong. No wonder it looked like a boy.
But then he was even more surprised. Ye Qiuqi was born first. Logically, she should appear above first, at least she should be in the photo.
But if the child is Ye Tianlong, it means that there is no shadow of her in more than a dozen photos now.
Ye Tianlong checked carefully and indeed did not find Ye Qiuqi...
Ye Weiguo wanted to explain something but eventually gave up the idea and changed the subject: "By the way, Tianlong, what is important for you to talk to me about?"
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Ye Tianlong was surprised that Ye Qiuqi was not in the family photo. Hearing Ye Weiguo's question, he slapped his head and quickly shifted his thoughts:
"Grandpa, this is what happened. My identity is probably suspected by Mingyue Group..."
