Chapter 492: Acknowledging to be Goddaughter (Part Two)

“Piece of cake.” Ye Xiu rinsed his mouth and wiped it dry. “Whatever you want, just say the word and I will take care of it for you.”

Xu Cheng smiled. “I want to go back to Shangcheng.’

Ye Xiu immediately rejected it. “Nah, that won’t work. Grandpa already said to make you stay in Yanjing for longer.”

Speaking of this, Ye Xiu sincerely looked at Xu Cheng and said, “Big Brother Cheng, to be honest, I’m very thankful that you saved my grandpa.”

“No need to say more. I just know that I get along with the old man really well and that’s why I saved him. The Ye Family doesn’t owe me anything.” Xu Cheng said, “I guess I’m saying that you should just treat it as me paying for letting me stay and eat at your place for this period.”

“You can leech off of me for this entire lifetime then,” Ye Xiu smiled and said, “No worries!”

Just then, the guard came in with a lady, and that lady was none other than Auntie Lan.

She brought over a lot of clothing and daily necessities for Xu Cheng’s temporary return, and coming into the front yard, she first bowed and greeted the old man in the courtyard. “Hello, Elder Ye.”

Speaking of hierarchy in the big Ye Family, Elder Ye held a high status at the Ye Family main branch as well, and for Auntie Lan who was a servant, it was natural for her to kneel to greet.

But as Auntie Lan was about to get on her knees, the old man pursed his lips. “No need for this kind of formality, the main branch is already dead and we aren’t in a feudal period.”

Auntie Lan nodded and smiled. “Then I will go in and bring Young Master his clothes.”

Xu Cheng gestured to Auntie Lan the direction of his room, and Auntie Lan went in to set things up. Xu Cheng followed Ye Xiu to the old man’s beloved big tree at the middle of the courtyard and sat on the chairs below the tree. Ye Xiu’s mom was also sitting there making tea for the old man. Seeing Auntie Lan coming out of his room, Xu Cheng called her over to sit and have a chat.

Auntie Lan walked over, and seeing that both Minister Ye’s wife and Elder Ye were there, she didn’t dare to sit nor was she qualified. So, she naturally stood on the side.

Xu Cheng looked at her and said, “Have a seat, why are you still standing?”
