"Are you serious?" Li Yijin immediately became serious.
"Of course I'm serious. I'll study hard. High school students should act like high school students, understand?" Ye Xingchen sighed.
“Okay, I can ignore what others say, but I must do what you say.” Li Yijin nodded: “Don’t worry, starting today, I will study hard and make sure I don’t cause you any trouble.”
"I mean what I say." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
“Of course I can keep my word, let’s pinky swear.” Li Yijin extended her hand.
"Okay, pinky promise." Although she felt it was childish, Ye Xingchen still reached out and pinky promised the other person.
"Starting today, I'm going to work hard," Li Yijin said earnestly. "There are still more than two months until the college entrance examination. I'm determined to get into a good university."
"Keep it up." Ye Xingchen said this, but in his heart he was a little unconvinced, after all, this was the senior year of high school.
This girl doesn't study much normally; she won't be able to turn things around in just these two months.
After sending Li Yijin back, she went straight into the study and never showed herself again.
Ye Xingchen nodded to herself. Although she was usually unserious, she was a woman of her word. If she said she would work hard, then she really meant it.
Li Tianqi came out: "Mr. Ye, what did you say to Yi Jin?"
"I told her to get into a good school, and then we'll consider our relationship," Ye Xingchen said with a smile. "But don't worry, this is just a way to motivate her."
"She got serious, straightened her hair, changed into a school uniform, and started reading." Li Tianqi said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Ye. No matter how I discipline her, she never listens to me. Your words are more effective than my discipline of more than ten years."
"It's good that you're serious. You, as my older brother, have worried a lot over the years." Ye Xingchen nodded. With Li Tianqi's connections, it wouldn't matter if Li Yijin didn't do well in the college entrance exam.
She has the doors of various prestigious universities open to her, but she just needs to take a break for a while.
“My sister has always had pretty good grades; she has a photographic memory,” Li Tianqi said. “Even if she doesn’t pay much attention in class, she can become a top student by cramming before exams.”
"Are you serious?" Ye Xingchen was dumbfounded, suddenly feeling like he had been tricked.
“Of course it’s true. She said she will get into one of the top three universities in Beijing on her own merits, and she wants you to remember your promise to her.” Li Tianqi nodded, quite happy.
"I..." Ye Xingchen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You're probably going to be my brother-in-law for good." Li Tianqi patted Ye Xingchen's shoulder and smiled with a hint of smugness.
"Don't do that, maybe you're my uncle." Ye Xingchen interrupted him.
“Han Yue and you are not related by blood, so we should talk about our own things. Besides, she still treats me with indifference.” Li Tianqi sighed helplessly.
"Don't be discouraged, just keep trying," Ye Xingchen encouraged him.
"These are all mundane matters, let's not talk about them. Let's talk about the internal affairs of Qiming Group." Li Tianqi got back to the point: "Qiming Group is now completely under my control."
"I've basically cleaned up the remnants of Xu Jie's past within Qiming Group, and I can finally act freely."
“Even with Xu Jie holding you back before, Qiming Group was still able to become one of the leading conglomerates in Yanjing. Your abilities are truly terrifying.” Ye Xingchen looked at him and said, “I think becoming your ally is a very wise thing to do.”
“Your abilities are far greater than I imagined, and I feel fortunate to be able to become your friend,” Li Tianqi said earnestly.
The two looked at each other and burst into laughter.
"I heard you want to replace the Ye family and become another powerful family?" Li Tianqi asked seriously.
"I did have that idea before." Ye Xingchen nodded slightly.
"What, have you changed your mind?" Li Tianqi looked at him with some surprise.
"No, it's just a change in strategy." Ye Xingchen shook his head and said with his head held high, "I, Ye Xingchen, Ye Xingchen, can be a powerful family all by myself. I don't need to form my own lineage. One day, the name Ye Xingchen will represent a powerful family."
"Good, that's spirited." Inspired by Ye Xingchen, Li Tianqi said in a deep voice, "I also believe that day is not far away. I'm waiting for that day to come."
"Don't worry, I won't keep you waiting too long," Ye Xingchen said. "But that old man from the Ye family must admit the mistakes he made back then, otherwise, this matter is not over."
"The old man from the Ye family seems to be in much better spirits. The Ghost Doctor of the Underworld Mountain is quite capable," Li Tianqi said. "I just don't know what methods he used to make the old man from the Ye family regain his spirits in just a few days."
"It's nothing more than killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Don't worry, he won't last long," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile.
"To be honest, I don't have a good feeling about Jiang Yongkang. He has too much of an evil aura about him. He must have another purpose in helping the Ye family," Li Tianqi said thoughtfully.
"Even an outsider like you can see it so clearly, how could the Ye family not see it?" Ye Xingchen smiled slightly: "Perhaps the old man in the Ye family is in poor health and his mind is confused. He is only thinking about living."
"But my second uncle, although he is not very capable, is not stupid. Would he let the Mingshan lineage run rampant?"
"Then why do you think the Ye family would do something like this?" Li Tianqi asked, puzzled.
"There's only one reason," Ye Xingchen said leisurely. "The second son of the Ye family thinks that since his father is going to die anyway, rather than letting this foolish fellow wreak havoc on the Ye family, he might as well give him a push, and then the Ye family will still be his."
"He wants to... kill his father?" Li Tianqi was taken aback, and his expression turned serious.
It's chilling to think about, but Ye Xingchen's words are plausible. The Ye family originally had Ye Xingchen's father, a rare young talent in Yanjing. If the Ye family had him, they would have made further progress within ten years.
Unfortunately, he is gone, the second son of the Ye family is not capable of much, and the old man of the Ye family is afraid of death. A dying person will be wary of everyone around him.
Ye Chengen, the second son of the Ye family, is of average ability, but that doesn’t mean he’s stupid or that he doesn’t compete or fight for anything.
Therefore, what Ye Xingchen said is very likely true. The Ghost Doctor of the Underworld Mountain may have been found by the second son of the Ye family. Firstly, to make his father lower his guard, and secondly, to take this opportunity to show his filial piety and then gradually take control of the Ye family.
When he completely takes control of the Ye family, it will be the end of the old man's life.
“It’s not impossible.” Ye Xingchen nodded and said slowly, “But I don’t know what the truth is. The old man of the Ye family has an extremely strong desire for control, but unfortunately… in the end he got nothing.”
