1089 Have to Let It Ou (2/2)

What Gramp Ye heard were all angry voices.

He was such an experienced man. He knew that these people who had been supporting him for many years were actually disappointed by his self-surrender.

”Guys, don't you have any different opinions about what happened today? Any different views?” Gramp Ye was lost. He actually asked a question that shouldn't be mentioned, a question a man like him should never ask.

”Different opinions? Different views?” The others all felt surprised. ”No. We may feel a little grieved, but if we have to do it again, we would still applaud for it! To be honest, we never have that strength to do it. Otherwise, we would have done it long ago!”

”That's right!”

”Correct! Same here!”

”We have the same point!”

”Was I always wrong to step back to them, bearing their insults? Was it just my own dream to hope that they would become kind and united to us…” Gramp Ye murmured, ”All the decisions I made, I made them for the clan. Was I wrong?”

”You were wrong!” An old man stood up. He was Ye Shuqing's closest blood-related brother, who looked eighty percent alike to Ye Shuqing, Ye Shuzhan.

”Second Brother, even you think so?” Ye Shuqing looked at his closest brother and couldn't believe what he just heard.

”Brother, I have some words that I have buried deep in my heart. I don't think I can hide it anymore. Today, I would like to seize the chance to let it out.” Ye Shuzhan took a deep breath and said, ”Please forgive me if I offend you.”

”Go ahead,” Gramp Ye said in a daze.

Ye Shuzhan took a deep breath. His face gradually turned red.

Finally, he started talking…

As he spoke, he had been holding it in the heart for too many years. He couldn't bear it anymore. As he started, his words were let out like a river rolling on in the waves! Apparently, he was extremely emotional at the moment.

”Brother, why do you think we chose to support you? We chose you, not only because… you are nice, honest, honorable, profound, and powerful… but also something else. At least these are not all…”

Ye Shuzhan loudly said, ”The main reason why we chose you is that we wanted our lives to become better and better under your lead!

”We wanted to be at least respected in this clan, though we couldn't hope for a position next to you. We wanted our voice to be respected!

”We wanted the opportunity to grow our rights and profits gradually!

”All in all, as a bunch of people who couldn't achieve great success on our own, why do you think we want to follow somebody? Why wouldn't we just enjoy our days? Why would we put ourselves under constraint?

”Because we wanted to do something that we can't succeed on our own, under the wise command of a mighty person!

”Brother, I know you don't like what I am saying. I know I may hurt you by saying it out.” Ye Shuzhan stood straight up and spoke loudly, ”I know you would consider my words as too realistic and snobbish, maybe cold-blooded.

”However, no matter what we wish for, it all depends on our power!

”Humanity, loyalty, you name it. These only can be upheld by strong power!”
