"But I refuse! I have already sacrificed my son and daughter-in-law, and I will never allow their only child to be harmed again!"

Old Li's body trembled slightly as he spoke with resentment, his eyes revealing an uncontrollable surge of emotion.

"Cough cough..."

His body had not fully recovered, and the intense emotional fluctuations also triggered a persistent cough.

"Grandpa, please don't get agitated!"

Li Muyue spoke anxiously, then quickly came to the old man's side, gently patted his back, and handed him a cup of tea.

Old Li took a sip of tea, which calmed him down a bit, and his body stopped trembling.

His emotions had clearly calmed down, but the fire of agitation in his eyes had not yet been extinguished. He said coldly, "The eldest brother and his gang think they are selfless, but I just can't stand their faces. They want my granddaughter to obey their orders? No way!"

While Li Muyue and her grandson were talking inside the house, Ye Chen squatted by a pond in the yard, holding a twig he had picked at random, and idly fed the goldfish in the water with the leaves on it.

Just then, the sound of a car came from outside the courtyard, and soon after, Uncle Fu led two young men in.

One of the young men was dressed in a suit and wore gold-rimmed glasses, looking refined and cultured, while the other was in sportswear, clearly having just been out for an activity.

"Uncle Fu, is Grandpa feeling any better today?" the young man in sportswear asked Uncle Fu, who was leading the way.

“Young Master, Master is much better today and is currently meeting with guests. I will take you two young masters to the reception room to wait.” As he spoke, Uncle Fu’s gaze swept across the courtyard, and he paused when he saw Ye Chen.

The two young masters followed Uncle Fu's gaze and looked into the courtyard.

"Holy crap, the Jade Dragon Tree!"

Upon seeing the green leaf in Ye Chen's hand, Chen Ziqiao, a young man in sportswear, changed his expression drastically and blurted out a line.

The Jade Dragon Tree is a tropical plant whose leaves are green when immature and turn into a beautiful purple when mature. Because the Jade Dragon Tree is difficult to grow, it is extremely valuable.

There was only one tree in the yard, which he had found not long ago after going to great lengths.

Normally, Grandpa Li would personally take great care of it, but now Ye Chen had picked a branch from it.

Before Uncle Fu and the young man beside him could react, Chen Ziqiao rushed to Ye Chen's side in three quick steps.
