The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 7171 - 7180

“Charlie, you are the head of the Ye family. The family will follow your lead,” Ye Zhongquan said, accepting Charlie’s authority without question.

He had given up his position as patriarch, and no one would argue with that. He understood that Charlie had gained much more power than the Ye family at this point. After all, just one rejuvenation pill from Charlie could potentially earn as much money as all the family’s combined assets.

At that moment, Ye Changmin finished getting ready and calmed her nerves. She rushed back to join them. As soon as she sat down, she quietly prepared tea for everyone.

“Changmin, Charlie wants to honor our ancestors at Yeling Mountain during the Qingming Festival,” Ye Zhongquan told her. “He also plans to give the Ye family a serious lesson.”

Ye Changmin was taken aback. While ancestor worship was a yearly tradition, she wondered why Charlie felt the need to stir things up again. Still, she didn’t question him. Instead, she replied earnestly, “It makes sense for Charlie to take action against the Ye family. They have really crossed the line lately. Unlike other families, they haven’t shown unity.”

Charlie spoke calmly, “This time, I will be clear about rewards and punishments. I will balance kindness with strictness. Those who prioritize the Ye family’s overall interests over personal ones will receive more resources and support. But anyone who puts their own interests first will be removed from the family.”

Ye Zhongquan nodded in agreement. “Absolutely! I was too lenient with them before. I thought that since the Ye family was doing well overall, we shouldn’t make things too tough for the others.”

Ye Changmin felt a wave of realization wash over him. “Dad, you’re right. I always put my own interests first. When my second brother got into trouble with the Rothschild family, my eldest brother secretly teamed up with us to push him out of the family. He claimed that if my second brother left, the rest of us would be safe from the Rothschilds. He believed that if a war broke out, we would all suffer.”

Ye Changmin continued, “Back then, I only thought about myself. Even though I’m a daughter, I felt I had a stake in the family’s wealth. If the family’s fortune shrank, it would affect me too.”

He remembered how, when Wan Pojun threatened Ye Lingshan, both he and his eldest brother suggested surrendering. “We thought if we gave up half our assets, at least we could keep the rest. We were really just trying to protect ourselves from losing everything.”

Tears filled Ye Changmin’s eyes as he spoke. “What I regret the most is not standing by my second brother from the start. Now that he’s gone, I want to apologize, but I can’t even do that…”

His emotions overwhelmed him as he reflected on the past and his current situation.

Charlie felt embarrassed and ashamed about the situation, and he was also very sad. When his aunt’s emotions got the best of her, she couldn’t help but cry out loud. Charlie could tell she was being genuine. It seemed like she truly regretted her actions. Recognizing one’s mistakes is an important step forward.

Sighing, Charlie noticed a piece of Pu’er tea cake next to Ye Changmin’s tea tray. He asked her, “Aunt, where is the tea knife for the Pu’er tea?”

Ye Changmin looked surprised for a moment, then quickly replied, “Charlie, if you want to drink Pu’er, I can brew a fresh pot for you.”
