Chapter 688: Goal
Old Master Yin’s gaze was very affectionate when he looked at his granddaughter.
Ye Cheng picked up the teacup and took a sip before he said praisingly, “Good tea.”
After setting the teacup down on the table, Ye Cheng continued to say, “I’m usually busy with work so I’d usually have coffee. I only drink tea when I’m home to accompany my father. My father likes Tieguanyin tea so that’s what I drink the most.”
At this time, a smile appeared on Yin Jia’s face. Before the helper served the Mao Jia tea, the tea they were having was the Tieguanyin tea.
No matter what Ye Cheng’s private life was like, Yin Jia had already decided on him. In terms of knowledge and understanding, Ye Cheng was the most outstanding person she had ever met. She did not care if Ye Cheng had his own motives; was there a person who did not have any motives? Even she had her own motives. With this, they could be considered even. It was also a blessing to meet a worthy opponent.
Meanwhile, Old Master Yin, who was very pleased with Ye Cheng’s words, continued chatting about tea.
Ye Cheng smiled and said, “You’re really making things difficult for me. How can my shallow knowledge about tea compare to an expert like you?”
Old Master Yin smiled. “You’re already very good. My grandsons wouldn’t accompany me to drink tea.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Cheng said smilingly, “Then let Cheng Che accompany you in the future. He’s very knowledgeable about tea.”
Ye Cheng’s expression was very natural and the way he segued into the topic was very smooth as well. It did not feel deliberate or forced. Everyone was stunned by his words, but he looked as though he was unaware of it as he lowered his gaze and took another sip of tea from the teacup. Then, he continued very naturally, “Cheng Che and I, because of Mu Chen, grew up together. Cheng Che used to follow Mu Cheng and me around like a little tail. Mu Chen and I used to quarrel a lot, but Cheng Che had never taken sides. He’d called me Brother as usual. He was very sensible even when he was young. As he grew older, many girls tried to pursue him. He was very gentle, after all. Most young girls like men with a good temperament like him. In this regard, he’s superior to Mu Chen and me.”
Old Master Yin seemed to be stunned.
Upon seeing this, Old Madam Yin hurriedly asked, “Is that so? Didn’t he get bullied often when he was young?”
Old Master Yin looked at Ye Cheng expectantly, wanting to know the answer.
Ye Cheng shook his head before he said with a smile, “How’s that possible? Who would dare to bully Cheng Che? When we were young, everyone knew it was okay to challenge Mu Chen and me, but everyone knew that those who dared to challenge Cheng Che would have to contend with me and Mu Chen. When I was young, I was particularly jealous that Mu Chen had such a sensible and obedient younger brother.”
A regretful expression appeared on Ye Cheng’s face as he spoke.
Old Master Yin was in high spirits and laughed.
Yin Jia relaxed upon seeing this. With Ye Cheng’s words, her grandfather of Cheng Che had risen. Then, she looked at the old woman in front of her with a hint of gloating. Although that old woman tried to sabotage her, that old woman could not compete with a few words about Cheng Che’s childhood.
Ye Cheng quickly found the opening to Old Master Yin’s heart and knew what would pique Old Master Yin’s interest the most. He recalled his father had said that as long as they could firmly hold onto the Yin family, the Ning Group would not be a match for them at all. He smiled inwardly, thinking that the goal was not difficult to achieve at all. The only hidden danger was Cheng Che. He had to complete his goal before Cheng Che returned to the family. At that time, Cheng Che would also become one of his chess pieces. Thinking about how he would win against Mu Chen and Cheng Che for once in his life, he almost could not contain his excitement.
