The Two Heroes of the Ye Family

Zhang Yudie knew that she could not argue or reason with her mother.

The best option is to remain silent and leave her with nowhere to speak.

"Die'er, are you planning to go to Hujiang after graduating from university? And leave us in Jinling?"

"Dad, Xiaoyang's analysis shows that in one or two years at most, the Japanese devils will attack Hujiang and occupy Nanjing.

Their ambition is to occupy all of China."

"You're dreaming! China is a land of talented people. How can we allow Japanese pirates to wreak havoc on our land?"

"Dad, when Xiaoyang was in the United States, he learned that the Japanese Empire was buying a lot of oil in the United States.

Oil is the blood of industry, and they are preparing for the next war.

If even you say so, then our entire China is really in danger this time!

Didn't the top leaders of the Jinling Deep Blue government realize this? How did our country lose the three northeastern provinces?

You are a historian, don’t you understand?

Our China is large, but not strong. Now that the civil war between the two parties has just subsided, they probably realize that they can't continue fighting."

Zhang Yudie's words instantly made Professor Zhang fall into deep thought, thinking about how the three northeastern provinces fell in the 20th year of the Republic of China.

He no longer had the confidence he had just had.

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she naturally didn't dare to respond.

"Die'er, is this why he sent his family to settle in San Francisco?"

"Yes, Xiaoyang also hopes that our family can go to San Francisco with him this summer vacation."

"What did his family do before?"

“The Ye family in Gusu City used to mainly produce silk.

Three years ago, Xiaoyang was ambushed, knocked unconscious, and thrown into Taihu Lake.

It happened that his master saved his life, and he lived with his master in Wanling, Anhui Province for more than two years.

When he was in Hujiang, he remembered that he was the third son of the Ye family in Gusu City.

At Hujiang, he made some money.

After returning to Gusu City, they learned that the Ye family's silk factory had been burned down by a fire at night.

He analyzed that someone was specifically targeting their Ye family, and they had been gaining experience in the martial arts world in recent years.

It allowed him to see a different world, and he also discovered that he had a special talent for learning languages.

In just a few months, he became fluent in English and Japanese.

This time he came to Jinling City mainly for a business.

By the way, let’s see how his second brother Ye Minghao is living in Jinling City.

My good friend Huang Yanran is from Gusu City. She invited Xiaoyang to dinner the day before yesterday and asked me to go along. Then…"

"Ye Minghao is in love with your classmate Huang Yanran?"

Professor Zhang suddenly said.

"Dad, how do you know?"

"On campus, I saw your classmates come to our Jinling Central University several times on weekends."

"Oh, indeed, they have already secretly decided to get married, and Yanran has already broken off relations with her family.

In the second half of last year, she didn’t ask her family for tuition and living expenses.”

"Die'er, do you also want to learn from your classmates?"

Professor Zhang stared at his daughter with his eyes fixed, he was afraid of losing his beloved daughter.

"Dad, how could you miss your Die'er so much? Xiaoyang will come to our house to propose marriage formally.

I bet Dad will like Xiaoyang."

"Heh, that's not necessarily true. He wants to kidnap my little Dier and make me like him. He's dreaming."

"Dad, you have to be fair.

You must look at Xiaoyang objectively. I dare say that none of the students Dad is teaching now is as good as Xiaoyang."

"Die'er, we need to be objective. The Xiaoyang you mentioned is only twenty years old. How knowledgeable can he be?"

"Dad, just be realistic. I won't exaggerate."

"Die'er, how does Xiaoyang show his sincerity?"

"Yudie, your father is right. Logically speaking, a merchant family is not a good match for our scholarly family.

If I tell you, you and your father will object, but marriage is a guarantee that a man should provide to a woman."

"Mom, I know what you mean. You don't have to worry about financial resources. Besides, I don't care about these things."

"Yudie, I'm just worried that you won't have a good life in the future. People from merchant families tend to be petty."

"Mom, how much do you think Xiaoyang should give as a betrothal gift to ensure marriage to me in the future?"

“It’s tacky to talk about money, but you are the only daughter your father and I have.

Your father and I certainly hope that your living standard will not decline because of marriage.

Of course, we will definitely prepare a generous dowry for you, but even so, your little family..."

"Mom, you don't need to prepare a dowry, just give it to Yulin for her future marriage.

You have raised me for so many years, and I am grateful to you and dad in my heart.

Xiaoyang and I are young and cannot afford this dowry. Xiaoyang said that he will take care of me all my life.

Dad, Mom, I'm just telling you that Xiaoyang promised his second brother Ye Minghao a million dollars when he marries Yanran.

Mrs. Zhang was shocked by the figure of one million US dollars and she suspected that she had heard it wrong.

"Yudie, how much dollars did you say?"

"A million dollars!"

When Professor Zhang heard this number, he didn't dare to say anything. What does a million dollars mean?

Even if their family prepares for their daughter's marriage in the future, it will not exceed 5 yuan, which is only 2 US dollars.

Mrs. Zhang was even more shocked and dumbfounded. Money can really scare people when it reaches a certain amount.

Zhang Yudie ignored her parents' surprised expressions and went straight back to her room.

She took out the box her lover had given her.

Professor Zhang and Mrs. Zhang were a little surprised when they saw their daughter take out an exquisite box.

Mrs. Zhang immediately came to her senses and said:

"This is a gift from Xiaoyang to you."

"It's our token of love."

After Zhang Yudie finished speaking, she handed the box to her mother.

Mrs. Zhang took the box and immediately placed it on the coffee table in front of the sofa, then slowly opened the box.

When she saw a pair of lifelike jade butterflies, she knew at first glance that they were the work of a master.

It is expensive mutton-fat jade. Such a large piece of mutton-fat jade cannot be made without tens of thousands of dollars.

The jade carving is very clean and must have been carved not long ago.

Mrs. Zhang was born into a wealthy family, so naturally she had such vision.

She sighed in her heart.

"Old man, take a look."

“This pair of jade butterflies is indeed very delicately carved, and it is a masterpiece by the Fugui Jade Company.

The base has the master's name on it and is worth a fortune."

The couple looked at each other and now understood that they had to let nature take its course.

"Didn't he come to Jinling for something this time? Did he get it done?"

“No, the matter is a bit serious and requires contact with the top leaders of the Jinling Deep Blue government.

This is his first time in Jinling, and he has a business deal worth tens of millions of dollars that he needs to discuss with the Jinling Deep Blue government and military."

When Mrs. Zhang heard about the tens of millions of dollars business, she stopped talking.

At the peak of her family's fortune, its assets were less than one-third of this figure.

This is really excellent! For most people, young people in their twenties are just beginning to understand things.

Don't expect to support a family at this age.

"That means he will come to our Jinling City again soon, right?"

"Yes! Xiaoyang said it would take a month."

“Next time you come, invite him to your home for dinner.

Since you've made your decision and accepted his token of love, as parents, we should at least meet him, right?"

"Okay, Xiaoyang also wants to come to our house and visit you."

Zhang Yudie didn't expect that her parents were easier to talk to than she had imagined.

Professor Zhang was thinking about possible future wars. He was a scholar and a historian.

He understood that when wealth reaches a certain level, one can access levels that ordinary people cannot.

It is an indisputable fact that society has hierarchies.

Whether it is the Three Principles of the People advocated by the Deep Blue Party or communism proposed by the Red Party.

Wars between countries involve the fate of their nations.

He didn't expect that a young man who was only twenty years old would have such insight.

Naturally, he wanted to meet such a young man, not to mention taking his own little cotton-padded jacket away.
