"Grandpa, I think you have the potential to be a foolish king."

Ella joked.

The old man wasn't angry either, and even laughed a few times.

Afterwards, the old man still said: "Although grandpa believes in you, he still wants to hear your reasons."

Ella pondered for a while and then said: "I don't deny the strength of my second cousin. In the Helan family, apart from my brother, he is indeed the most capable candidate."

Hearing this, the old man nodded, indicating that he still agreed with what she said.

"You keep talking."

Ella hummed, and then said: "However, just because he has strength does not mean that he can be the master of the family. He has all the skills, but he lacks a kind heart that can be spared and forgiving. What I mean is kind heart. It doesn't mean that he is soft-hearted or kind to others, but he can't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes, especially the people of the Helan family. As long as he doesn't do anything to hurt his loved ones for the sake of power, I might still agree with you Give him the power.”

The old man frowned when he heard her last words. He narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Girl, what do you want to say to me?"

Although Ella didn't say it explicitly, she knew that the old man must have guessed it.

"Grandpa, it's just what you think." she said.

The old man's brows furrowed even more.

"So, your brother's matter has something to do with him?"

Immediately, Ella gave the old man all the evidence she brought to see.

five minutes later.

The old man once again slapped his hand on the table angrily.

But this time, he was obviously angrier and furious.

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, be careful with your body." Ella comforted.

The old man looked at her and asked, "Why hasn't it been found before?"

"The second cousin hid it so well. Someone gave him an alibi at the beginning. In addition, the perpetrator also insisted that he was the brother who hit him. So even if my parents and I had doubts at the time, it would be difficult to find evidence. To overturn it. Another point is that at that time we did not want to alert the enemy and worry that my brother would be hurt a second time."

"But I didn't give up investigating this matter. In the past five years, I have been secretly investigating. Until a few days ago, I met Helan Tianyou, who reminded me. Later, I learned from him I learned some things, so I became more suspicious of my second cousin. I guess he is eager to take control of HL now, so I just tested it a little bit, and he couldn't wait to reveal his flaws, but the information I gave you , are not enough to make him admit his guilt. If he comes out clearly now, he will let others be used as a scapegoat."

"So the first step now is to block his proposal to replace the chairman."

The old man sighed heavily, "What a sin!"

Ella touched her nose and told the truth: "It is indeed your fault. If you had not married so many wives, this problem would not have happened."

Old man: "..."

Later, Ella comforted her: "Don't think of the worst. This matter can still turn around. You just need to do what I say."

The old man looked at her and said, "Okay, grandpa will listen to you."

Ella had finished saying what she needed to say, and was ready to leave.

But the old man suddenly asked: "Wait a minute, please ask the boy named Ye to take some time to see me."

He waited until the daylilies were almost cold.

He thought that this kid would come to visit him the next day, but he didn't see anyone until today.

Ella blinked and said, "Why did you see him?"

The old man said: "Don't worry about it."

"Then I won't help you make an appointment. You make an appointment with him yourself." Ella said and stood up.

"You kid, why are you so petty? Grandpa won't eat him, so what are you afraid of?"

"I'm not afraid that you'll eat him, I'm afraid that he'll make you angry."

The old man looked at her doubtfully and asked, "Why, does he speak hard?"

Ella said: "A little bit."

The old man chuckled, "Then I want to meet you even more."

"..."

Ella had to meet him when she saw the old man, so she said nothing more.

Just meet her when you see her. He has already met her parents anyway, and he doesn't care about one more old man.

"It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, and to hit the sun is not as good as today. Just tonight, you invite him to the old house for dinner. It just so happens that you can stay and eat with me."

"..."

When Ye Jiuqing received her call, he had just finished handling the matter.

This was the first time in a long time that he received an unsolicited call from her.

Ella asked as soon as she opened her mouth: "Where are you now?"

Ye Jiuqing rarely teased her: "Why, do you miss me?"

Ella rolled her eyes: "It's not dark yet, why are you starting to dream?"

Ye Jiuqing: "...then you have something to do with me?"

"Well, the old man wants to see you. If you're not available, forget it. I'll tell him."

Hearing this, Ye Jiuqing immediately replied: "I'm free."

Ella pursed her lips and said, "Okay, then you can just come to Helan's old house."

"it is good."

Just when she was about to hang up, the man on the other end of the phone said hurriedly: "Wait a minute, tell me what grandpa likes."

Ella thought about it, and realized that the old man actually didn't like anything in particular, because he had it all and didn't lack it either.

"Whatever, he is not particular about things." She said casually.

Because she really couldn't figure it out.

It has been a long time since she gave the old man a gift.

When the old man celebrates his birthday, all she has to do is show up and say a blessing. This is totally different from others. Others carefully select gifts, but she goes there empty-handed.

In fact, she can't be blamed for this, the old man himself said he didn't need it.

Then she is very obedient and does not prepare gifts every year.

And the old man didn't say anything, and others didn't dare to say anything to her even if they had objections.

"..."

Seven o'clock in the evening.

Ye Jiuqing arrived at Helan's old house.

But he didn't get out of the car.

Ah Gui looked back at him in confusion and asked, "Master Jiu, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Jiuqing asked: "Why do you think Mr. Helan wants to see me suddenly? Does he want me to help Ella, or does he want us to divorce?"

Agui actually saw entanglement and a hint of fear on his face.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime scene.

"Master Jiu, no matter what reason Mr. Helan wants to see you, I don't think it is a problem. After all, Madam is the one who really makes the decision, and others only play a supporting role. Besides, Madam's parents You have already seen him, why are you still afraid of an old man?"

Agui patiently explained to him.

Ye Jiuqing looked at him, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What you said makes sense. It seems that I didn't support you in vain."

Ghost: "..."

When it is useful, it is not in vain; when it is not useful, it is in vain.

After Ye Jiuqing got out of the car, he immediately saw the old housekeeper waiting at the door.

"Master Ye, please come with me. The old man and Miss Ling Shuang have been waiting for a long time."

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

The old housekeeper laughed and said, "No trouble, this is also one of my jobs."

Ye Jiuqing should have arrived a long time ago, but it took a lot of time to choose gifts.

Although Ella asked him not to bring a gift, he still did.

In the living room, the grandfather and grandson were talking and laughing.

"Master, Miss Ling Shuang, Master Ye is here." Butler Huo Lan called into the living room.

Immediately, the two walked over.

The grandfather and grandson also stopped talking and looked back at the same time.

Ye Jiuqing stepped forward, looked at Mr. Helan, and said in a gentle tone: "Grandpa, I'm sorry that it took me so long to visit you. This is a small gift I prepared for you. I hope you can accept it."

The old man listened to what he said, and then glanced at his granddaughter.

The look in his eyes seemed to say: "This guy's words are not unpleasant, so why are they different from what you said?"

Ella ignored him. She looked at Ye Jiuqing. This man was really fickle, flexible and capable of acting.

Why didn't she realize that he had this ability before?

Mr. Helan responded with a slightly serious expression: "Gifts are of no importance. Old man, I am not short of people to give gifts. I won't have to give them in the future. I will accept this one."

Then, the old man shouted: "Ade, let someone take the gift down."

When the old housekeeper heard this, he responded: "Okay, sir."

Immediately, the old housekeeper took the gift from the ghost and handed it to the servant nearby, and said: "Send it to the master's collection room."

"Okay, butler."

Ye Jiuqing did not sit down, but still stood.

Mr. Helan looked at him a few more times before he said, "Sit down, don't stand stupidly."

Ye Jiuqing: "Okay, thank you, grandpa."

He also said this title quite smoothly.

Ella even wondered if he had practiced secretly in private.

This is the first time for the old man to have such close contact with Ye Jiuqing.

In the past, I only heard other people talk about him.

After all, their two families have nothing in common, either in family background or business.

Naturally, I won’t come into contact with it normally.

It stands to reason that if Ella had been at Helan's house, she would not have come into contact with people like Ye Jiuqing.

She knew Ye Jiuqing because she met him through Su He.

As soon as he sat down, the old man said: "I have heard the reason why you two got married. Shuang'er forced you to do it, and I have indeed wronged you. This is indeed unfair to you."

After hearing this, Ye Jiuqing glanced at Ella subconsciously.

Ella did not avoid his gaze, but greeted him openly.

"My Shuang'er has such a temper, don't be surprised. As for the marriage between the two of you, I don't agree with the old man, so you..."

Before the old man finished speaking, Ye Jiuqing said: "Grandpa, I am not wronged, and I have no plans to divorce her."

When he said the last sentence, he looked at Ella.

Ella blinked, looking a little dazed.

Mr. Helan suddenly laughed heartily.

"Old man, I'm not that vicious, nor am I the kind of vicious elder you often see." The old man smiled and said, "I just want to say that since you are already married, it's hard for me to say anything like disagreement. Your request is also very simple, just protect her and don't let her get hurt. Who makes you the person this girl likes? We can't stop it. If we could, she wouldn't let anyone hide it from us in the first place. .”

When Ella heard the old man's last words, she frowned and looked at the old man and said, "Grandpa, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. Am I right?" the old man asked.

Just as Ella was about to retort, Ye Jiuqing said: "Grandpa, don't worry, I will protect her and I will not let down your trust. Even if you don't say it, it is my duty to protect her."

Ella turned back and stared at him with confusion in her eyes.

Did he take the wrong medicine?

Every time she heard him say such words, she felt it was untrue.

However, his eyes were very sincere, not like he was lying, nor like he was saying some superficial polite words to the old man.

She fairly understood his character. If he didn't want to do something or say something, he wouldn't even bother to do it or say it.

Since he said it, it means he will complete it.

But what is his reason?

Is she just his obligation?

She admitted that she was greedy and that she wanted something a little too much.

She was neither happy nor sad when she heard what he said.

Her heart was like a calm lake without any ripples.

The old man laughed heartily and said: "Okay, with your words, grandpa, I will feel relieved."

The old man could tell that his granddaughter seemed a little unhappy, but he didn't say much.

There are some things that an old man like him cannot interfere with, and they still need to be understood by young people themselves.

Although this was the first time he met Ye Jiuqing, he already knew his background and details.

"Xiaoye, although you are not the old man's first choice for my grandson-in-law, the old man also has high hopes for you. You must not let down the old man's expectations." The old man said.

Something strange flashed across Ye Jiuqing's eyes, but it was fleeting.

He responded: "Grandpa, don't worry."

The old man clapped his hands on his thighs and said with a smile, "Okay, then we're done talking. Let's get ready for dinner."

With that said, the old man was about to stand up.

When Ye Jiuqing saw this, he immediately stood up, straddled his long legs forward, came to the old man's side, and then supported him.

Mr. Helan was a little flattered.

He has always heard that this child is cold and ruthless, and his methods are quite ruthless. Generally, such people will be cold and cold.

But when I saw him today, he was handsome and had a pretty good personality. Looking at him alone, I couldn't tell that he was a gangster.

Ella was watching silently.

Ye Jiuqing's behavior once again refreshed her understanding of him.

……

After dinner.

Ella saw that the two of them were chatting happily, but she couldn't get in a word, so she simply got up and went to the yard.

There is a glass house in the yard of the old house. Various varieties of potted green plants are placed in the glass house. There is also a hanging chair, table and a small bookshelf inside.

There are also some books she read as a child on the bookshelf, as well as books she read at each age.

This glass house is exclusive to her, and the old man specially ordered someone to build it here for her.

Of all the people in the Helan family, she is the only one who has this.

Therefore, several of her cousins ​​were envious and jealous of her.

She has had enemies since she was a child.

Just because the old man's partiality is too obvious.

In fact, it's no wonder that the old man is becoming more and more partial to her and her brother.

The old man treats everyone equally, but they all make one mistake, that is, they try their best to please the old man every day.

This is what the old man dislikes the most.

Ella took one of the books, half-lying on the hanging chair, and started reading.

Not long after, she was enveloped by a dark shadow.

Suddenly the light was blocked, she slowly moved the book away, and looked at the man standing in front of her.

Ye Jiuqing glanced at the book in her hand, "Fairy tale picture book?"

"Do you like reading this kind of book now?" he asked.

Ella didn't think it was a big deal, "Who says adults can't read children's books? Besides, I can still tell stories to my children in the future."

Ye Jiuqing looked at her, was silent for a while, and asked, "Do you like children?"

Ella didn't think much about why he asked, and answered directly, "The kid is so cute, so of course I like him."

"Okay." He replied with one word.

Ella asked in confusion: "What's good?"

Ye Jiuqing explained: "What I mean is, if you like children, we can have them too."

With a "pop" sound, the book in Ella's hand slipped out of her hand and fell to the ground.

Her pupils trembled slightly, and her whole body was in a state of shock.

"What did you say?"

The man answered her word for word: "I said, we can also have children, if you like."

Ella looked at him in surprise and shock.

With a bang, her mind seemed to explode.

For a long time, she couldn't say a word.

Mainly because his words shocked her too much.

She almost doubted whether the person standing in front of her was Ye Jiuqing himself.

This is so scary!

It's simply scarier than a ghost!

How could these words come out of his mouth?

She won't believe it to death!

Isn't she dreaming?

The next second, Ye Jiuqing saw her suddenly stand up, then reach out to him and pinch his arm hard.

She looked up at him and asked, "Does it hurt?"

The man frowned, stared down at her, then stretched out his knuckled fingers and flicked her forehead gently.

Then, he asked in a deep voice: "Does it hurt?"

Ella: "..."
