"Very good." Ye Xingchen nodded and said, "Actually, some things do require us to fight for them ourselves. I think you know better than I do about the methods of this father and son, right? If they really take complete control of the Meng family, do you think you and your grandfather will have any chance of survival?"
“Given my second uncle’s personality, he would never give us, grandfather and grandson, a way out.” Meng Hu shook his head and said, “So there are some things I’m going to fight for.”
"Your idea is right. As for how to fight for it, that's up to you." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Go back and have a chat with your grandfather. Although he can control your second uncle, he is getting old after all."
“Sometimes even if you know it in your heart, you may still feel powerless to do it in practice. It might be better if you are by his side.”
"Understood, thank you for the reminder, Mr. Ye." Meng Hu clasped his hands in a fist salute to Ye Xingchen, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Ye, there's still something I'd like to ask you."
"Go ahead and say it," Ye Xingchen turned to look at him.
"If... I mean if, the battle between my grandfather, my second uncle, and me reaches a life-or-death point... would you step in and help us?" Meng Hu looked up at Ye Xingchen.
"I can't answer that for you," Ye Xingchen shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate for me to interfere in matters concerning your family."
"If I really get involved, it will definitely be for the sake of justice. You have to believe me, I am a doctor, saving lives is in my nature. I won't say that I am a very righteous person, but at least I will stand on the side of justice."
“Okay, I understand, Mr. Ye.” Meng Hu breathed a sigh of relief. “Then I’m all set. Thank you, Mr. Ye. Please…”
Ye Xingchen nodded, took Yi Qingmeng into the car, and drove towards her home.
"I haven't gone home this late, Zhenzhen must be worried sick." Yi Qingmeng picked up her phone, wanting to send Zhenzhen a video.
"Don't worry, I went to check on her just now, she should be asleep by now." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, someone is watching over her outside, she'll be fine."
"You've already been there?" Yi Qingmeng looked at Ye Xingchen in surprise. She stopped dialing. Ye Xingchen's words reassured her.
Looking at the night sky, she seemed somewhat uneasy, clutching her phone tightly in her hand: "How did you know I was here?"
"I used all my connections in Yun City to find out your whereabouts," Ye Xingchen said calmly. "You should have contacted me immediately."
“I’m sorry, I… I just didn’t want to cause you any trouble. You know Li Zhiguo is a local bigwig, and the people he knows are very influential in Yun City.” Yi Qingmeng lowered her head.
"Since I've already offended these people, I don't mind making them suffer the most." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "So, sometimes, you should contact me when the time is right."
"I understand, this won't happen again." Yi Qingmeng looked up at Ye Xingchen, biting her lip. "Could you please stop the car?"
"What's wrong?" Ye Xingchen stopped the car in time and looked at Yi Qingmeng in surprise.
Seeing that her face was flushed, as if she had something difficult to say, he suddenly realized: "Oh, I understand. Go ahead, it's only natural to need to go to the bathroom sometimes, don't be embarrassed."
"I'm not." Yi Qingmeng shook her head, biting her lip and lowering her head, not daring to look Ye Xingchen in the eye.
"What's wrong?" Looking at her, Ye Xingchen felt even more confused.
Yi Qingmeng looked up at Ye Xingchen: "Ye Xingchen, is there any way to keep you by my side for the rest of your life?"
"What does this mean?" Ye Xingchen was slightly taken aback, and for a moment he didn't understand what she meant.
Without saying a word, she suddenly pounced on him, tightly embracing Ye Xingchen's stomach, and then forcefully kissed him.
"You..." Ye Xingchen was dumbfounded by her crazy actions.
As she pressed herself against him, her soft, hot body tearing at Ye Xingchen's clothes, it seemed she was serious.
Ye Xingchen hesitated for a long time, but still reached out to stop her and then gently pushed her away.
Yi Qingmeng, sitting in the passenger seat, reluctantly got up, but Ye Xingchen pressed her back down.
"Calm down." Ye Xingchen composed himself. "Are you testing my willpower? I can tell you with certainty that no man has that much willpower. If you continue like this, I won't be polite."
"Ye Xingchen...you saved my sister, and you've saved me several times." Yi Qingmeng looked directly at him: "So I want to entrust myself to you..."
"Why would you do this? Just because I saved you, are you repaying me?" Ye Xingchen retorted.
“Yes, otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to repay you.” Yi Qingmeng nodded.
"Isn't the 'offering oneself in marriage' tactic a bit old-fashioned?" Ye Xingchen said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
“I have nothing left but my body.” Yi Qingmeng looked at Ye Xingchen and suddenly burst into tears.
“I hate myself for being useless. I have nothing but a worthless reputation. I can’t even keep the company my parents left me. Tell me, what should I do?”
“Everyone has their own role in this world, you don’t need to belittle yourself like this.” Ye Xingchen looked at her and suddenly felt a little sorry for her.
Yes, a beautiful woman, if she doesn't have extraordinary abilities or a good family background, will most likely become a plaything for those in power.
Given Yi Qingmeng's beauty and temperament, her fate will likely be extremely difficult after she loses the protection of her parents.
So she was also helpless. Ye Xingchen paused and said, "Actually, you're not entirely useless. At least you protected your sister."
"No matter what you're thinking right now, no matter how down you feel, you should pull yourself together. After all, your sister is waiting for you to come home. You need to know that you're all she has now, while her life is just beginning..."
“Zhenzhen…” Yi Qingmeng suddenly came to her senses. Yes, now is not the time for her to give up on herself.
Before her mother passed away, she had promised her that she would take good care of her younger sister.
Even though she's feeling down right now, she should pull herself together for her sister's sake.
Because Ye Xingchen was right, they really had nothing left except her.
"But... how can I repay you?" Yi Qingmeng looked up at Ye Xingchen.
"Did I say I wanted you to repay me?" Ye Xingchen retorted. "In your eyes, can a man's attentiveness to a beautiful woman be for the purpose of getting her body?"
"Isn't that right?" Yi Qingmeng looked up, somewhat dumbfounded.
