Chapter 1019 We Agreed to Be Together 5
Boxiao knew that William and his wife were going to stay, so he specially cooked a Western-style dinner.
Bo Xiao is a purebred American who was a famous chef when he was young, so his Western food is very good, even the always picky Earl William is full of praise.
"Is Mr. Boxiao also a relative of the Ye family?" Mrs. Sophie asked curiously.
"Oh, I am a servant of the Ye family." Boxiao said with a smile, "I followed the old man when I was thirteen years old. He provided me with education and learned various skills. At the age of twenty-three, I returned to the Ye family as a housekeeper. Now that I count, , more than fifty years ago.”
"I didn't expect..." Mrs. Sophie was very surprised. According to their family's thinking, a servant could never eat at the same table with his master, let alone discuss family affairs with his master like a family.
"Are all the servants of the Ye family so special?" Earl William also felt incredible, "This is impossible in our family."
"We are all a family." Ye Yan said with a smile, "This house is also owned by me. You have met him, that is Zhao Jun in the hospital. Now we are brothers."
"This..." Earl William opened his mouth wide, feeling shocked, but he didn't know what words to use to describe his feelings at this moment.
"A friend in need is a friend indeed. Now that you are encountering difficulties, Mr. Boxiao and Zhao Jun are willing to follow you and do their best to assist you. This is also an achievement." Mrs. Sophie sincerely praised, "Ye Yan, I heard Having said that about you, the first time I saw you, I knew that you were definitely not a creature in the pool, and you would definitely be able to make a comeback. "
"Haha..." Ye Yan smiled softly, "Thank you, madam, you have good taste."
Earl William looked at him with confusion: "You used to be the richest man in Asia, and now you are in such a state of decline. Isn't there a gap in your heart? I think you seem to be very calm, and you don't feel sad at all."
"It is false to say that there is no gap, but a man should be able to bend and stretch." Ye Yan said lightly, "There are many such figures in our Chinese history. I wonder if you have heard of the allusion of Gou Jian who suffered hardships while working hard. He used to be A king later became a prisoner and a slave for ten years, but finally turned around and became a hegemon. Only that kind of courage can achieve great things. "
"You are absolutely right." Mrs. Sophie sighed sincerely, "William, you should really learn from the younger generation."
"What are you studying? What you say sounds nice, but you can't say whether you can turn over or not."
Earl William curled his lips disdainfully. Although he spoke harshly, in fact, he was also reflecting on his life in his heart. He was born into a noble family and was a prince. When he was young, he did not know how to cherish everything he had. He was arrogant and domineering. Cynical, and later after being demoted, he just gave up on himself. Fortunately, he met a good wife like Sophie, and he was able to be stable for the rest of his life. But in fact, he had lost a lot of money in gambling over the years, otherwise their family would not be like this.
Looking back now, if he had had Ye Yan's courage, maybe everything would have been different. .
Mrs. Sophie shook her head and smiled bitterly. She changed the subject and chatted with Lan Qianyu about her children. Lan Qianyu filled every line with the happiness and sweetness of being a mother. Later, she talked about Lei Lie——
"Mrs. Sophie, I am not speaking for my brother. In fact, Lei Lie is really a very good man. My husband, Ye Yan, has gone through many hardships to slowly temper his temper. Looking at him now, he is so calm and gentle. I used to have a bad temper..."
