The Regent's Little Wife

Chapter 494: Old Patriarch Ye Jianhua

However, facing such occasions, Yan Mo was full of resistance. She knew that she suffered from social phobia and felt very uncomfortable with such luxurious parties and complicated interpersonal relationships. Although the people around her were all local dignitaries and nobles with a net worth of at least tens of millions, she still couldn't get rid of her inner fear and uneasiness.

At this moment, Ye Mo's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. After all, she had never experienced such a grand scene.

You have to know that she is just a senior high school student, and her daily gatherings are just small get-togethers with classmates or teachers.

Although Ye Mo sat in the main seat with her family, she felt like an outsider. The five brothers and the so-called sister were chatting and laughing, and from time to time there were celebrities and nobles coming to greet them. As for the real daughter in name, everyone seemed to ignore her.

At this moment, Ye Chen suddenly received a call. He hurriedly stood up and asked his wife, five sons, Ye Xiaoxue and Ye Mo to wait outside the hotel. His expression was extremely serious, which made people curious about what happened.

Ye Mo followed the others to the outside of the hotel, only to see that the hotel was under tight security. Not long after, a black business car sped over from a distance.

Ye Chen and his wife, their five sons and Ye Xiaoxue all knelt on the ground as if they were under a spell, like ancient subjects meeting their monarch.

Ye Mo was stunned. He didn't know who was coming and why his family was so radical. In this day and age, why was kneeling still a popular etiquette?

At this time Ye Chen found that Ye Mo was still standing there stupidly, and he yelled in anger.

"Ye Mo, kneel down quickly, why are you standing there? You are risking your life!"

Ye Mo still didn't understand why, but when he saw everyone kneeling down, he knelt beside them in a daze.

At this time, a white-haired old man who looked to be over 80 years old got off the business car. After getting off the car, the old man looked at the people kneeling on the ground and nodded with satisfaction.

"Everyone, get up. You don't need to do this outside. This is not the case at home."

Ye Chen and others then stood up from the ground, and saw that he was extremely respectful to the old man in front of him.

"Dad...what are you talking about? Kneeling is a traditional etiquette. Whether at home or outside, it is essential for elders."

The old man smiled and didn't respond to him. His eyes seemed to fall on Ye Mo.

The old man pointed at Ye Mo and said softly, "You... come here."

When Ye Mo saw the old man calling her, she walked over tremblingly. She didn't dare to look up at the old man and could only lower her head.

At this time, Ye Chen next to him said: "Ye Mo, this is your grandfather, my father, why don't you pay your respects to him quickly."

Ye Mo's heartbeat accelerated at this moment. She really couldn't stand this kind of situation. After a long while, she finally uttered a few words with difficulty: "Hello, Grandpa."

The eldest brother Ye Yan, who was standing next to him, turned pale with fear and his body trembled uncontrollably. As he was close to Ye Mo, he lowered his voice and whispered quietly in Ye Mu's ear: "Kneel down and kowtow to Grandpa! This is the traditional etiquette of our Ye family, you must abide by it! Hurry up and do it. If you make Grandpa angry, the consequences will be disastrous, and our whole family will suffer!"

However, Ye Mo seemed to have heard nothing, still standing there straight, with no expression on his face. Just when everyone thought that Grandpa would be furious about this matter, to everyone's surprise, Ye Jianhua not only did not get angry, but instead burst into a hearty laugh.

Ye Jianhua held Ye Mo tightly in front of him, gazing at the girl lovingly, his eyes sparkling with joy, and muttered to himself: "So you are the long-lost daughter your father mentioned! You know, I am your grandfather Ye Jianhua. When you were young, I held you in my arms! Unfortunately, you were lost when you were three years old. I never thought that you would return to us safe and sound. When your father told me the good news, I was ecstatic!"

"So I quickly asked my assistant to buy a plane ticket, and finally rushed back. Your father didn't even know about this. Dear granddaughter, come and accompany grandpa into the venue," Ye Jianhua said as he pulled Ye Mo's hand.

At this time, another old man came over from the side. This old man looked about the same age as Ye Jianhua, probably over 90 years old. Seeing this, everyone was about to salute the old man, but saw the old man waved his hand.

"We're outside here, there's no need to go through all that formality." The old man looked at everyone kindly and said.

Then, Ye Jianhua began to introduce Ye Mo: "My dear granddaughter, this is your grandmother, Li Min."

"Hello, grandma!" Ye Mo smiled and nodded to the old woman in front of him.

At this time, Ye Jianhua and Li Min took Ye Mo's hand and walked straight into the venue. The other members of the Ye family were stunned.

Who is Ye Jianhua? He was a famous figure in the country more than 50 years ago! Although he informed his father about his daughter's return, after all, Ye Mo was also a child of the Ye family, and according to the rules, he must inform the old patriarch. But who would have thought that the old patriarch would come in person!

The venue was crowded with people, and the nobles were talking to each other or whispering. When they saw Ye Jiao leaving in a hurry, they couldn't help but feel suspicious and guess what happened. However, about half an hour later, an unexpected scene appeared - two elegant old men led a girl slowly into the venue.

The younger generation of these nobles may not be familiar with these two old men, but the older ones recognized them at a glance. It turned out that this old man was the old patriarch of the Ye family!

The guests present all stood up and welcomed the arrival of the old patriarch of the Ye family with the highest standards. Although Ye Jianhua was already 90 years old, he walked steadily, was majestic, and stood straight, looking as if he was only 70 years old. His appearance caused a sensation in the whole audience, and people were full of respect for this respected old man.

Everyone surrounded Ye Jianhua and sat down at the main seat, followed by a round of greetings. The theme of today's banquet was self-evident, it was to celebrate the Ye family's long-lost biological daughter. Ye Chen stood on the stage excitedly, announced the good news to everyone, and invited his daughter to come on stage to meet everyone.

Ye Mo was full of nervousness, but she still walked up to the stage bravely and greeted everyone with a trembling voice. Although she was a little stage frightened, with the encouragement of her father, she finally completed all the procedures smoothly.

However, Yan Mo's behavior today did seem a bit timid. Although the people present did not say anything openly, they all had their own thoughts and calculations in secret.

"Alas, why does the daughter of the Ye family look so weak and timid? Although she seems to be from a noble family, she still looks like a beautiful girl from a small family."

"Yes! They are both daughters of the Ye family. Look at Ye Xiaoxue. There is a world of difference between her and her. The second Miss Ye is very generous and elegant. There is really no comparison!"
