Chapter 47 Ye Ling's True Identity (1/2)

There was a reason why Ling was so excited at the banquet.

Back then, the Qi family was a prestigious family, and Grandpa Ye Ling, also known as Grandpa Qi in Ye Yanling's words, was an outstanding soldier.

More than 20 years ago, countless families were desperate to get in touch with the Qi family. At that time, the Qi family's status in the country was so high that the Wei family was nothing compared to them.

However, the Wei family had saved Grandpa Qi's life on the battlefield, and because of this relationship, the Wei family shamelessly wanted to become in-laws with the Qi family.

Before Ye Ling was even born, the news that Ye Ling's mother was pregnant with a girl spread.

Out of gratitude for being saved in the past, Grandpa Qi had no choice but to disregard Ye Ling's parents' objections and agree to the Wei family's shameless demands, arranging a marriage between him and Wei Cheng.

However, around the time Ye Ling was born, the Qi family suffered a massacre due to their religious beliefs.

The Wei family immediately distanced themselves from them and even assisted others in attacking the Qi family.

The Qi family was almost completely wiped out, and Ye Ling's parents died in that upheaval. Grandpa Qi took Ye Ling, who was about one year old, and they went into hiding.

It was the old man of the Ye family who risked the fate of the entire Ye family to secretly bring Ye Ling back.

Ye Ling is the only remaining member of the Qi family; her lineage cannot be severed.

When Grandpa Qi handed Ye Ling over to Old Master Ye, he cried and, despite Old Master Ye's objections, knelt down and kowtowed to him, demanding that Ye Ling change her name and surname and become a member of the Ye family.

Ye Ling's real name is Qi Youling. Grandpa Qi was worried that if his granddaughter continued to use the Qi surname, it would be easy to be discovered, so he asked Old Master Ye to change Ye Ling's name and surname.

Before his death, Old Master Ye instructed the Ye brothers that no matter what happened in the future, they must protect Ye Ling and not let the Wei family know Ye Ling's true information.

They also told them that it would be best to make Ye Ling a daughter-in-law of the Ye family, because only in this way could they better protect her and prevent others from suspecting her true identity.

This is why the Ye brothers doted on Ye Ling when she was young, and even after her personality changed drastically, they never thought of abandoning her, but only blamed themselves for not raising her well.

However, the book did not mention the above information, nor did it mention that Ye Ling had a fiancé.

Therefore, Ye Ling did not know the original owner's true identity. She only knew that the original owner's parents died when the original owner was one year old, and that Ye Ling was brought back by Grandpa Ye. She did not know anything else.

Ye Tianfei turned to look at Ye Yanling in the passenger seat. Seeing his angry eyes, he reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "If Wei Cheng sees you like this, it will make him even more suspicious."

"Don't worry, the Wei family won't be able to take Lingling away unless they step over our dead bodies."

Ye Jingyan asked Ye Tianfei in a deep voice, "How did he greet you? Was Shen Xing there at the time? What was his expression?"

Recalling the scene, Ye Tianfei said, "When Wei Cheng saw me, a look of surprise flashed across his face. Then he came over and shook hands with me. He said that he hadn't seen the Ye family brothers in the underground city and thought we had left the capital."

He spoke to me like an old friend, but it was our first time meeting. He seemed quite shrewd, unlike the rumors circulating about him.

As for Shen Xing, when he saw Wei Cheng take the initiative to shake my hand, his surprise was quite obvious; he probably didn't expect Wei Cheng to strike up a conversation.

Ye Jingyan remained silent for a while before saying, "We're not going to the underground city; we're going to my uncle's place."

Ye Yanling turned to look at Ye Jingyan: "Big brother, are you worried that he might find out about Lingling from Shen Xing?"

Ye Jingyan shook his head slightly: "If he suspects Lingling's identity, he won't bring it up with Shen Xing on his own, as that would arouse Shen Xing's suspicion. With his status, it would be too easy for him to find out about Lingling; there's no need for him to ask Shen Xing."

Ye Yanling clenched his fists and looked at Ye Jingyan: "Find an opportunity to take care of him, anyway, it's the end of the world."

Ye Jingyan's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Yes, but we only have one chance. If we fail, it will leave hidden dangers for Uncle and Lingling. So we can't act rashly if we're not sure about the situation."

Ye Tianfei tapped his long fingers on the steering wheel: "So far, I haven't heard anything about Wei Cheng from Lingling. Is it because she hasn't met him, or is he not even a character in the story?"

Neither of them answered him, so Ye Tianfei could have either of those guesses.
