Chen Changye sat in a wheelchair, having fallen ill overnight. Although it didn't kill him, his hair had turned somewhat gray, and at only fifty-something years old, he now looked much older.
Sitting in front of him was a woman who was just over forty years old. She was dressed in jewels and looked like a wealthy lady. Although she was over forty, her skin and figure were in excellent condition.
The woman is Chen Changye's current wife, Yu Lu.
Behind the two was a young man intently playing a game on his phone; this was Chen Wenhao, her son with Chen Changye.
This kid is a high school sophomore. You can tell he's a problem student just by looking at his focused expression while playing games and by the occasional swear word he throws out. He's in the middle of puberty, confident, foolish, and irritable.
"No need to say anything more, I'm not going to a sanatorium. The company is at a critical juncture right now; the Chen Group is facing a life-or-death situation. I just can't walk, I'm not dead." Chen Changye said in a deep voice, "If I leave, what will happen to such a large organization as the Chen Group? Who will you hand it over to? Your son?"
“Wenhao will inherit the family business sooner or later. Right now, his studies are his priority, but his uncle and I can help him temporarily manage the company.” Yu Lu said, “Old Chen, we’ve been married for twenty years. Don’t you trust me?”
"Hmph, if he continues like this, I will not hand over the Chen Group to him." Chen Changye stared at his son, who then swore again: "What the hell is the archer for? Go on, I'll take on three of them by myself!"
“He’s your only son, Old Chen. You may be angry, but the future of the Chen family still depends on him, doesn’t it? He’s still young and doesn’t understand things yet. We can teach him properly later. Everyone has been young before.” Yu Lu stroked her son’s head, looking very doting.
"No need to say anything more. I have my own plans for this matter, and I don't need you to come here to persuade me." Chen Changye glanced at Yu Lu: "Besides, he's not the only one in the Chen family who can inherit the family fortune."
Yu Lu was stunned. She understood what Chen Changye meant: if this son was really useless, then Chen Qian was not out of the question for inheriting the family property.
She said somewhat exasperatedly, "Old Chen, Chen Qian is indeed very outstanding, but she is a girl. She will get married sooner or later, and the future of the Chen family will definitely depend on Wenhao."
"Alright, you don't need to say anymore. I know what's going on. Besides, I've already made it very clear to you that I just can't move my legs, but I'm not crippled or dead. I can still handle things at the company."
“But look at your health, it’s getting worse every day. I don’t know what kind of medicine Chen Qian gave you, but it’s made your legs numb.” Yu Lu said angrily, “This girl has become much more scheming since she came back from abroad, you can’t be careless.”
"What's there to guard against? She's my own daughter, why should I guard against her?" Chen Changye was furious. Just as he was about to explode, the villa door opened, and Shen Lin walked in with Chen Qian and Ye Xingchen: "Mr. Chen, Miss has arrived."
“Dad…” Chen Qian stepped forward and squatted down next to Chen Changye.
"Hey, Xiaoqian's here." A smile appeared on Chen Changye's serious expression. He immediately changed his expression and patted Chen Qian's head: "Weren't you going to the high-speed rail station to pick up your friend? Have you brought him back now?"
"We've brought him back, Dad. This is Ye Xingchen, whom I've mentioned to you more than once before. He's the one who rescued me from overseas, and he's also the one who gave you the medicine that helped you recover," Chen Qian said, pointing at Ye Xingchen.
"Good, good, Mr. Ye, I can't thank you enough. You are a benefactor to my Chen family." Chen Changye looked at Ye Xingchen gratefully.
"Mr. Chen, you're too kind. It's fate that brought us together." Ye Xingchen smiled and then stepped forward. "Before, I was tied up with some matters at the border and didn't know the specifics of Mr. Chen's illness, so the medicine I gave you couldn't fully cure him."
"So I've come here this time to cure Mr. Chen's illness and make him fully recovered."
"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Mr. Ye." Chen Changye nodded quickly.
"President Chen's illness was caused by emotional distress, which triggered a cerebral infarction. Although the infarction has healed, the long duration of the illness has resulted in blocked meridians in both legs, preventing him from walking," Ye Xingchen said after examining Chen Changye's condition.
"Is it difficult to treat?" Chen Changye couldn't help but ask.
“It’s not difficult to treat. I’ll treat Mr. Chen with acupuncture three times and he’ll be fine,” Ye Xingchen said.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Ye.” Chen Changye’s eyes lit up.
After he fell ill, the family business was kept in control by Yu Lu, which made Chen Changye sense something unusual.
Therefore, he is now eager to improve the situation so that the Chen Group can avoid some crises.
If the Yu faction is allowed to continue developing in this way, then in the near future, the Chen family may no longer bear the surname Chen.
"Wait." Just as Ye Xingchen was about to begin acupuncture, Yu Lu stopped him.
"Aunt Yu, is there a problem?" Chen Qian turned to look at Yu Lu.
"Have you found out who this person is? Although your father's health has improved, not just anyone can treat him." Yu Lu said with a stern face, "This is irresponsible towards your father's health."
"Auntie, I am absolutely responsible for my father's health, please don't worry about that," Chen Qian said. "I am his daughter, and no one wants him to get better more than me."
"Xixi, I didn't mean anything by it. Of course you want your dad to get better, but you're young and don't know how treacherous people can be in this world. I'm just afraid you'll be deceived." Yu Lu snorted and then looked at Ye Xingchen.
"Your father's leg has been treated by so many specialists, all of whom are internationally renowned experts. They couldn't do anything about his illness. Do you really believe that a young man like this can cure your father?"
“The medicine I give my dad is his. If it weren’t for his medicine, my dad would probably still be mentally unstable. I believe he definitely has a way to cure my dad,” Chen Qian said coldly.
"Heh, maybe if you hadn't given your dad that medicine, he would be completely cured now thanks to my careful care." Yu Lu sneered, then put on a gentle tone and said in a coquettish voice, "Qianqian, you're still young. Haven't you learned your lesson after being fooled once?"
“Auntie, I was scammed once, but we’re still investigating who instructed the person who scammed me,” Chen Qian said coldly. “So you don’t need to keep reminding me that I’ve already been tricked once, and I won’t be tricked a second time.”
"Haha, that's hard to say. You're young and confident. I believe you want Old Chen to get better, but you still lack social experience." Yu Lu laughed.
