The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7164

Charlie Wade nodded quietly and thought to himself, “Aunt Ye has really changed. Ye Changmin used to act like a spoiled child. Even though she’s older, she has more energy than many young people, and she can be quite temperamental. But now, she seems like a completely different person, almost like she’s been reborn.”

As the host, Ye Zhongquan invited everyone to sit on the sofas. Once everyone was seated, he turned to Gu Yanzhong and said, “Yanzhong, if you’re not too busy, please come by more often. As an old man, I get really bored at home alone. Sometimes, I just want someone to talk to.”

Gu Yanzhong replied politely, “Of course, Uncle Ye. We don’t have much going on right now. Plus, my daughter is back home for the New Year. If you’re feeling lonely, our family will come by to keep you company!”

Ye Zhongquan looked happy and nodded eagerly, “That would be wonderful! With most of the Ye family at the vigil for Ye Lingshan, I feel quite lonely here. It’s not easy for me to go up the mountain anymore.”

Then he glanced at Charlie Wade, who was sitting nearby, and sighed. “Honestly, I wish Chen’er could stay in Yanjing longer. Every time he visits, it’s always so rushed, and I hardly get to spend time with him. I just want him to keep me company in my old age.”

Charlie Wade smiled softly but didn’t say anything. After all, he was now part of the family, and his own family was in Jinling. He knew he couldn’t comment at that moment, especially since discussing his engagement to Gu Qiuyi would lead to an awkward situation.

Just then, Gu Qiuyi chimed in, “Grandpa Ye, Brother Charlie Wade…”

Charlie Wade has a busy schedule during the week, so he doesn’t have much time to spend with you. But don’t worry! I plan to leave the entertainment industry soon and become a full-time tourist at home. When that happens, I’ll come to see you more often!”

“That sounds wonderful!” Ye Zhongquan said, looking very happy.

Ye Zhongquan has always liked Gu Qiuyi. He has watched her grow up since she was a little girl. During the years when Charlie Wade was missing, Ye Zhongquan sometimes lost hope, but Gu Qiuyi never gave up on finding him. It touched his heart to see such loyalty from a young girl towards her grandson. He felt grateful and relieved.

More importantly, when Wanlongdian harmed Ye Lingshan, the Gu family could have backed away, knowing the Ye family was struggling. But they chose to stand by the Ye family without hesitation. This kind of friendship is truly precious.

Ye Zhongquan knew he couldn’t force Charlie Wade to marry Gu Qiuyi, even if he wanted to. If he could, he would have already pushed for it. Charlie Wade also gave the Gu family a couple of rejuvenating pills, which made the couple feel awkward about bringing up the marriage contract in front of Ye Zhongquan. This eased the pressure on Charlie Wade, and everyone felt more comfortable.

At that moment, Ye Changmin, Charlie’s aunt, set up the tea set and brewed a pot of the finest Jin Junmei tea for everyone.

They all chatted while sipping tea, and the conversation didn’t focus on marriage. Besides the marriage contract, Ye Zhongquan was also concerned about the situation with Qinghui. So, he asked Charlie Wade about the latest updates.

Charlie Wade shared some news and then thought of Tang Sihai. He turned to Ye Zhongquan and asked, “Grandpa, have you…?”

“Have you heard from Steward Tang lately?”

“Not at all,” Ye Zhongquan replied with a sigh. “Since then, it seems like he’s vanished from the world. I’ve tried many ways to locate him, but there’s been no news.”

Charlie Wade felt a twinge of regret and said thoughtfully, “I wonder what secrets he had that made him leave without a word. But I believe he meant no harm to me or the Ye family.”

Gu Yanzhong, who was listening, looked puzzled and asked, “Why would Sihai leave? Chen’er really needs help right now. He’s worked for the Ye family for so long and knows everything about us. He has managed our business well, and I truly respect his skills and character. If he had stayed and continued to support Chen’er, he could have played a vital role. It doesn’t make sense for him to leave without saying goodbye and to disappear so completely.”

Charlie Wade nodded in agreement, deep in thought. “I can’t shake the feeling that even though Steward Tang has been with the Ye family for many years and has worked hard, he hasn’t truly served the family directly.”

Gu Yanzhong looked at him curiously. “Did you discover something that makes you think that?”

Charlie Wade replied, “Before, my father’s photo album suddenly appeared, and I think Steward Tang wanted me to see it. Since then, he has completely disappeared. If he was working for the Ye family, there would be no reason for him to hide. But if he was working for my father, I’m sure he wouldn’t be in danger. After 20 years, someone else must have given him orders to do this.”

Gu Yanzhong raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “If Steward Tang has other motives, why has he kept them hidden?”

“After so many years, why not just keep things hidden?” If you don’t say hello, you might as well disappear from the world. Isn’t that like exposing yourself on purpose?”

Charlie Wade sighed. There were some things he couldn’t share with Gu Yanzhong.

For example, Gu Yanzhong didn’t know that Charlie had the power to influence people’s minds. He could easily change how someone thinks and alter their self-awareness.

Tang Sihai had left suddenly after the photo album was revealed. He was probably scared that Charlie would use his ability to uncover certain secrets. Knowing he couldn’t resist Charlie’s psychological influence, Tang Sihai chose to disappear from the world to avoid that risk.

At that moment, Ye Zhongquan turned to Charlie Wade and said, “Chen’er, do you want to organize a global search for Tang Wan’s family? You also have an AI model now. Combining that with your skills, it shouldn’t be too hard to find Steward Tang.”

Charlie Wade shook his head. “No, it’s fine. I know Steward Tang can’t harm my mind. Since he has secrets he thinks I can’t uncover, I don’t need to dig them up.”
