Chapter 673: Chapter 673: Song Chuanqi Returns Home_1
Lord Ye suppressed a frown, “It must be true, right now the diplomats of country S are urging my father-in-law to return to S. I would have never imagined his actual identity. Thankfully, he agreed to stay at our house for now. You need to pressure the Ministry of Foreign Affairs into insisting on a written apology from the Xia family. Otherwise, country S will not let this matter rest.”
Ye Shiting also frowned. On his second day in office, an international crisis had erupted. It wasn’t good news for him. Now, he could only call the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to ensure serious attention was given to this matter and to make the Xia family apologize sincerely.
After the brothers ended their call, Xiao Yun walked towards Lord Ye, “My Lord, everything is packed. We can set off now. We probably have to hurry… The media has already caught onto this news.”
“Yes,” Lord Ye responded, entering the room.
As soon as he entered, he heard his father-in-law refusing, “It’s alright, you just handle this. I have no intention of returning to S for the time being. Are the cars ready, Lord Ye?”
Lord Ye walked up to Song Chuanqi and respectfully nodded, “They are ready. We can leave at any time.”
Song Chuanqi stood up, “Then let’s go.”
They had planned to leave the hospital tomorrow, but things had moved quickly. If they didn’t leave now, they’d be besieged by the press.
Song Chuanqi looked at his wife and daughter and consoled Ye Xingguang, “Don’t blame yourself. Neither your mother nor I will be affected by these clowns.”
Ye Xingguang wiped away her tears and walked Bai Lanwu out. A car was waiting at the villa’s entrance. They got straight in.
The diplomat from country S could only helplessly watch as the car left the hospital. But they were determined to pursue this matter seriously.
The diplomat walked towards the hospital exit, ready to confront the throngs of media waiting outside.
A’s Capital Island, an area looked upon with envy by common people, began to roll into Song Chuanqi’s view.
Lord Ye’s convoy drove towards the Moonlight Bridge leading to Central Island. As Soun Chuanqi sat in the car, he saw his former home slowly coming closer. Beneath his calm demeanor was a heart full of complex emotions yearning for home.
No one could understand his feelings as he returned home after so many years.
This home, which he hadn’t stepped foot in for nearly thirty years, seemed familiar yet foreign. He had ceased to be the eldest son of the Ye family and had become the Crown Prince of country S.
Ye Baixiu, who was supposed to be the Crown Prince of S, now lived in his home as the eldest son of the Ye family. He didn’t know how to describe the irony.
The grand and ostentatious convoy drove into a majestic, tightly guarded manor after crossing the Moonlight Bridge and racing along the island’s circular road.
The two stone lions at the entrance to the manor were taller than a man. Guards with guns stood like statues next to the lions and saluted respectfully when they saw Lord Ye’s convoy.
In a fountain pool at the entrance of the manor stood an imposing statue of Odin.
In mythological stories, Odin was the king of gods, the ruler of the Aesir, and the god of death, war, power, and magic. This was Song Chuanqi’s favorite deity in his youth. He had the fountain and even the Odin statue built by a renowned sculptor. But all these carried traces of his past. Sadly…
Today, he could only enter the manor as a guest, not as its owner, and he would never be its owner again.
