Chapter 1248: Openly Making Plans
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The two children were adults today, and Shen Xiaoxiao was 36 years old. Yan Kuan was even older than Shen Xiaoxiao, so he was 44 years old. However, the two of them were really a perfect match, it was impossible to tell their actual age at all.
As the main family, as well as the fact that their position in the world was not low, they did not walk out of the main door when the banquet was held. Standing slightly in the front of the banquet hall was already a form of respect for everyone.
And no one thought that there was anything wrong with this.
“Master, the person has arrived.”
Yan Kuan knew that Ye Xie had arrived as soon as he heard the report from the secret guard. He raised his head to look at the entrance. If he had not opened his Heavenly Eye… He definitely would not have been able to tell that the young man who looked to be at least in his twenties was Ye Xie.
Yan Kuan raised his eyebrows. He was actually a soul from another world, and it was him. It seemed that he had really underestimated Zhai Yue. However, this kid really did go out. He had risked his entire cultivation base… He even had incomplete memories and a soul, and dared to come here to look for his daughter.
It seemed that he was right. Zhai Yue was indeed coming for his children.
However, he had said many years ago that Zhai Yue was an opponent that he had prepared for Little Treasure. It seemed that his son and daughter had all the opponents that they would have to face in the future. Now, he was not too worried.
As long as it was not the real Ye Xie, not that ruthless and evil person, he was not worried.
“Why don’t I see him? Where is he?”
Shen Xiaoxiao naturally could not see Ye Xie’s true face. Yan Kuan smiled, motioned for Shen Xiaoxiao to look at the youth in the distance, and said, “That young man who looks very young.”
Shen Xiaoxiao followed his line of sight and looked over. It was indeed a very young-looking young man. However, Ye Xie was only 16 years old no matter what. However, this youth looked to be at least 20 years old? Could he have made a mistake?
“Why does he look so old?”
“It’s probably because he’s schemed too much and has aged himself.”
After being said by Yan Kuan, Shen Xiaoxiao felt that it was really possible.
“But that kid looks like a human. We haven’t seen each other for a few years, and he doesn’t look familiar at all. If you don’t tell me, I’ll just think that he’s a young talent from some family.”
Yan Kuan felt the same way, but he didn’t say much. Besides, he looked at the kid, wanting to see how he was going to get along with them.
There were some things that couldn’t be told to Xiaoxiao. He knew how much Xiaoxiao despised Ye Xie and how much she hated Zhai Yue. He knew even better. As long as the name Zhai Yue was mentioned, Xiaoxiao felt that Zhai Yue was a person who deserved to be punished. It was even more so for Little Treasure who was selfish.
If Yan Kuan did not know that Zhai Yue and Da Bao were destined to be together for a long time, he probably would not have accepted Zhai Yue so easily. Of course, he was not prepared to accept it now. This kid still needed some time to be observed.
“He’s here. I want to see how this kid is going to greet us.”
Ye Xie knew from the look in Yan Kuan’s eyes that this Lord Black Emperor was indeed worthy of his reputation. He had really underestimated him. That pair of eyes could almost see through him in an instant. The person who could make him feel guilty at a glance… This was definitely the first person.
The Black Emperor indeed had the same opportunity as him. No, perhaps the Black Emperor was even more powerful.
“President Yan, Madam Yan, it’s been a long time since we last met. How have you been?”
“You are?”
Shen Xiaoxiao was good at pretending. She said this when she saw Ye Xie.
Yan Kuan put his hand on Shen Xiaoxiao’s waist in amusement. Little thing, she really did not hide her dislike for him at all.
“I’m Ye Xie.”
“Ye Xie? It’s only been a few years since we last met, but you’re becoming more and more mature. I almost can’t recognize you.”
Although Shen Xiaoxiao was smiling, her smile did not reach her eyes. Ye Xie naturally saw through it at a glance. Not only did he see through it, he was also curious as to why Madam Yan looked so familiar to him.
He had indeed accepted all of Ye Xie’s memories, but he only accepted part of Zhai Yue’s memories, and that was only the part where he interacted with Da Bao.
However, the familiarity that Madam Yan had in his heart was definitely not brought to him by Ye Xie, but by his identity as Zhai Yue.
This was strange. He remembered that Zhai Yue did not seem to have any contact with Madam Yan.
“I’ve been studying abroad all these years. I guess I ate too much beef and mutton and grew stronger.”
Ye Xie’s joke made Shen Xiaoxiao laugh out loud. He had become much more tactful after not seeing him for a few years.
“Hahaha, Ye Xie is getting better at joking. Is your father okay?”
The trouble that De Cruz had caused previously had been spent in China for three years. Due to his complete paralysis and the fact that Fire Island had paid a large sum of money to send that half-dead De Cruz out of the country… He could only spend the rest of his life in bed. Therefore, when Shen Xiaoxiao asked this question, Ye Xie hesitated for a moment and said, “My father will be like this for the rest of his life.”
Shen Xiaoxiao knew that for De Cruz, this kind of punishment was the most fatal.
No one who had offended Shen Xiaoxiao would be able to gain anything from it.
“It’s inevitable that there will be such problems when you’re old. Ye Xie, have fun tonight. We didn’t treat you well.” Shen Xiaoxiao’s words were extremely polite, but what Ye Xie said next made Shen Xiaoxiao not know how to respond.
“It’s nothing. However, I also brought a gift for Miss Yan today. I hope that Miss Yan will open it herself later.”
Shen Xiaoxiao and Yan Kuan were slightly stunned. Did Ye Xie mean that he brought a gift for Miss Yan and not for Little Treasure? Was that what he meant?
However, even so, Shen Xiaoxiao still said:
“You’re too polite. The two children’s coming-of-age ceremony. They are older than you. They have the advantage. When it’s time to open the gifts, they will naturally let the two children open it themselves.”
Shen Xiaoxiao did not care that the gifts were for Da Bao. She directly said that they were for the two children.
Ye Xie smiled and did not say anything more. He turned around and left.
As soon as he left, Shen Xiaoxiao’s expression became a little bad. She said to Yan Kuan, “It’s been so many years and you still want to have designs on my Da Bao. No matter who Da Bao marries, she will not marry him. His intentions are not good. Be careful, I will personally take care of this little brother.”
Yan Kuan almost laughed out loud. His little wild cat was about to lose its temper, but Ye Xie was really bold. He dared to openly express his intention to get their precious princess in front of her. It seemed that… Ye Xie was too self-righteous.
After Ye Xie and Deng Liu left, Deng Liu said to Ye Xie, “Master, is Madam Yan doing this on purpose?”
“The Little Oriental Loli is famous for taking revenge for the smallest grievance. Do you think that if the old man offended her, she wouldn’t take revenge? And it’s just a few sarcastic words on purpose. Don’t you want to follow the mother-in-law policy? Then there will be a lot of these things in the future.”
