It's different from the first time I came to my second uncle's house. After hearing about dinner, both my second uncle and Ye Shaolong came downstairs one after another. Unlike before, Ye Shaolong had waited upstairs for a long time before coming down.

"When did you start studying at Capital University? I didn't know a thing."

Sure enough, the first topic at the dinner table was why Xiaofan came to Capital University.

Originally, Ye Daqiao and the others looked down on Xiaofan because Xiaofan's father was a poor laborer, and the school Xiaofan attended was one of those lesser-known colleges like Mingyuan. Obviously, Xiaofan's future wouldn't be prosperous.

Of course, even though Xiaofan is now studying at Capital University, it doesn't mean Ye Daqiao sees him in a different light.

Today, they invited Xiaofan over primarily because his son has taken a liking to Liu Siyan, and coincidentally, there is some unclear relationship between Xiaofan and Liu Siyan.

They have also looked into Liu Siyan's family background. Liu Zhenghua's assets were worth over a hundred million before coming to Capital City, and after arriving, his business has grown, multiplying his wealth several times.

Liu Zhenghua has a daughter, which means whoever marries his daughter, the Liu Family's assets will eventually fall into the hands of the daughter and son-in-law.

Although Ye Daqiao has made some money recently, it's only from a relatively small company, at most around fifty or sixty million, still far from the Liu Family.

So, when his son told him he wanted to pursue Liu Siyan, Ye Daqiao naturally supported it wholeheartedly. And now Xiaofan is in the way, so some work must be done regarding Xiaofan.

Poor Ye Xiaofan is completely unaware of this, thinking his second uncle really cares about their blood connection and wants to keep in touch more often, to avoid drifting apart over time.

"Well, whatever school I go to doesn't matter much, but one of my elders hoped I could study at Capital University, so he helped me get in directly," Xiaofan said simply, answering his second uncle's inquiry.

"Elder? Which elder are you talking about? Do I know him?" Ye Daqiao continued to ask.

"His name is Fan Lingtian, second uncle, have you heard of him?" Xiaofan didn't hide this, believing his second uncle wouldn't know him. After all, only the older generation knows about grandpa being one of the Three Great Heavenly Kings back in the day. Perhaps the older uncle knows, but the second uncle definitely wouldn't.

"Fan Lingtian? Never heard of him..."

"Well, he was an old acquaintance of grandpa and coincidentally has some connections with the president of Capital University, so he helped me get in."

This isn't really lying, as entering Capital University was originally Fan Lingtian's idea, and with the Ren Family's intervention, everything went smoothly.

"When did your grandpa meet such a powerful figure? I really want to visit this elder someday if I get the chance."

"Well, if there's an opportunity, I can help you contact him," Xiaofan replied lightly. However, it's unlikely there will be time, as Fan Lingtian is a busy person with his schedule fully booked. If he has time, he'd definitely spend it with his family, avoiding any unimportant matters.

The topic of Xiaofan attending Capital University ended, and the next topic moved on to today's theme.

"Here, have a chicken wing."

"Thank you, second uncle."

Chicken wings are originally Ye Shaolong's favorite, and meals at my second uncle's house are quite particular. The chicken has to be farm-raised, so the meat is very fresh. Ye Shaolong usually gobbles up both chicken wings entirely, but today, Ye Daqiao surprisingly offered one to Xiaofan, which was somewhat unexpected.

My second uncle suddenly changed his attitude toward me like this; could it really be just because I attend Capital University? That's unlikely.

At the moment, Ye Weiwei silently ate, Ye Shaolong's gaze kept dodging, as if afraid to make eye contact. My second uncle also steadily ate while not forgetting to pour himself some beer.

There's an issue, but Xiaofan couldn't figure out why.

"Xiaofan, take your time eating."

"Are you full, second aunty?"

"Yeah, I'll tidy up a room for you later; you can stay here tonight."

"No need to trouble yourself, I'll later..."

"Oh, mom. Later, I'll help you tidy up; on our way back, we saw some fresh fruit at the fruit market, let's go buy some."

"Really? Okay then, Xiaofan, take your time with your second uncle, while Weiwei and I go buy some fruit."

"No need to bother, second aunty."

"Be good, take your time eating..."

Seems like these two have something to say to me, and they need to deliberately send second aunty away to say it. What kind of trick are they up to?

However, after second aunty and Ye Weiwei left, Ye Daqiao took a while before he even seemed willing to speak, clearly weighing the words to see if he should say them.

Meanwhile, Ye Shaolong was anxiously waiting, occasionally signaling his father with brows and eyes.

"Second uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it." Whatever, let's just start the topic; otherwise, when second aunty comes back, it'll be hard to get the conversation going.

"Ahem, Xiaofan, I hear you have a good relationship with Liu Siyan from your school?"

"Hmm?" Siyan? Tonight's topic is actually about Siyan.

Xiaofan immediately looked at Ye Shaolong, who instantly avoided Xiaofan's gaze, continuing to eat.

"When did you two meet?"

"When we were kids, seven or eight years old."

"What?" Hearing Xiaofan's words, Ye Shaolong was the first to be surprised.

"Seven or eight years old?" Ye Daqiao was slightly surprised as well.

"Yeah, that year Liu Zhenghua happened to be transporting some lumber from the village, and due to an accident, he was severely injured. Grandpa rescued him and brought him home to recover. At that time, Siyan was with Liu Zhenghua, so we've known each other since we were little."

This news completely caught the father and son off guard. The two exchanged a glance, and Ye Shaolong, unwilling to give up, signaled his father to continue talking.

"Ahem... And your current relationship..."

"We're already dating, but due to some reasons, we're having a spat," Xiaofan continued.

Already dating? This was even more surprising.

"Second uncle, why are you interested in this matter?" Xiaofan countered with a question.

"Oh, well, actually, Shaolong told me earlier that lately, he's been pursuing Liu Siyan, and I hadn't heard that Liu Siyan had a boyfriend, so clearly, between you two..."

"Shaolong? Hmm, I know he almost got into a fight with someone before. I'll offer a word of caution here, that Zhang Yuxuan isn't someone to mess with, best not to provoke him..." Xiaofan said flatly.

"Ye Xiaofan, do you think I'd be afraid of him? Besides, you're able to provoke him, why can't I?" Ye Shaolong finally spoke, as this hot-headed guy dislikes being talked down the most.

"Shaolong..." Ye Daqiao called out sternly before looking at Xiaofan: "Xiaofan, are you really having issues with Liu Siyan? Could she already..."

"Second uncle, did you invite me here tonight to ask me to step back from my relationship with Siyan, and let Shaolong take over?" Pretty much confirmed, no need to spell it out, but this answer leaves Xiaofan with a broken heart.

Of course, the heartbreak won't stop here.
