"Your grandfather invited me here." Ye Xingchen glanced at him. "You're in pretty good shape, already being discharged from the hospital?"
"Guards! Guards! Throw this bastard out of here!" Ye Jing roared. "Beat him out with sticks!"
A group of people surged over with a whoosh.
"Are you sure?" Ye Xingchen looked at Ye Jing with pity.
"This is the Ye family, and I am a direct descendant of the Ye family. On my own turf, do you think I can't deal with you?" Ye Jing roared, his neck stiff.
"Oh, hehe, then I'm sorry, even on your turf, you really can't do anything to me." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"What are you all standing here for? Are you dead? Throw him out!" Ye Jing roared.
"Yes, Young Master Ye." To show his loyalty, a bodyguard stepped forward, pointed at Ye Xingchen, and said, "Get out."
"Okay." Ye Xingchen nodded and turned to leave.
"Mr. Ye, what's wrong?" Yuan Zhengde, who came out to pick up Ye Xingchen, was taken aback.
"These bodyguards told me to get out, so I had no choice but to leave." Ye Xingchen looked innocent. "Dr. Yuan, I've given you plenty of face, but I really have no choice in this situation."
"Mr. Ye, please wait a moment. I'll have the Ye family head come out right away." Yuan Zhengde quickly reassured Ye Xingchen, then turned to the group of bodyguards and shouted, "Mr. Ye is a distinguished guest invited by your family head. Are you sure you want to kick him out?"
"Mr. Yuan, I... I don't know." The bodyguards were dumbfounded.
"Expel everyone here from the Ye family and never let them set foot in Yanjing again." Just then, an old voice came over; it was Ye Taihe who had arrived.
After a few days apart, Ye Taihe looked noticeably older. His face was sallow, and it was clear at a glance that he was seriously ill.
"Master, no!" The bodyguards who had pledged their loyalty were dumbfounded.
"Tell them to get lost." Ye Taihe waved his hand, and immediately someone stepped forward to ask the bodyguards to leave.
"Grandpa..." Ye Jing was somewhat unwilling.
"Lock him in the ancestral hall, give him only one meal a day, and forbid him from leaving the ancestral hall for a month to repent before the ancestors' spirits." Ye Taihe waved his hand impatiently.
"No, Grandpa! My injuries haven't healed yet. I'm your grandson!" Ye Jing panicked.
"Your own grandson?" Ye Xingchen laughed, and said leisurely, "Talking about family ties with such a cold-blooded person? Are you alright?"
“They were both his own grandsons, and he abandoned them without batting an eye. Locking you up for a few days is already being lenient.”
Ye Xingchen's sarcasm was spot on, but Ye Taihe remained unfazed. He waved his hand and said, "Take Ye Jing away. No one is allowed to let him out. If I find out anyone is showing favoritism, I'll break their legs."
"Yes, Master." The bodyguards quickly pushed Ye Jing's wheelchair away, and no one dared to say another word.
"Xingchen, you've arrived." Ye Taihe's face relaxed, revealing a smile.
Although he smiled kindly, Ye Xingchen felt that his smile was fake no matter how she looked at it.
"Don't be so polite. I came here at the invitation of Doctor Yuan. You don't need to be so friendly with me." Ye Xingchen glanced at him.
"Let's go inside and talk," Ye Taihe said, not angry, and invited Ye Xingchen and Yuan Zhengde inside.
"Mr. Ye, about Old Master Ye's illness..." As soon as he entered the door, Yuan Zhengde couldn't wait to talk about the illness.
“Elder Yuan, you don’t need to say anything, I’m watching.” Ye Xingchen said calmly, “His five elements are disordered, all five elements are weak, and his blood vessels are stiff. These are symptoms of leukemia.”
“You used the Five Boiling Essence Soup to forcibly raise the five elements in his body to regulate yin and yang, which is why he looks rosy-cheeked. But this is a case of squeezing out potential. Once his potential is squeezed out too much, he will be reduced to his original state.”
“Yes, I advised Patriarch Ye before that this method would backfire, but the Ye family is at a critical time, and he insisted on using the Five Boiling Essence Soup. Now its potential has been squeezed out to the limit, so…” Yuan Zhengde shook his head and sighed.
"The Ye family... is at a crucial juncture. I can't afford to let my guard down. Right now, my second son's family is utterly useless." Ye Taihe sighed. "If Jin Yu were still here, I..."
"Stop spouting this useless nonsense, okay?" Ye Xingchen sneered. "You brought this on yourself."
Ye Taihe remained silent for a moment before saying, "Xingchen, my illness..."
"It can be cured." Ye Xingchen looked up: "It can at least allow you to live healthily for another twenty years."
"Whatever you need, I will use all the resources of the Ye family to find it." Ye Taihe's eyes were urgent, and even his breathing became rapid.
"I have all the rare and precious treasures you need," Ye Xingchen said. "You don't need to worry about that."
"Then... what are your conditions?" Ye Taihe looked at Ye Xingchen with expectant eyes.
"As for conditions, there's no rush to mention them," Ye Xingchen said leisurely. "I'll think about them slowly and then discuss them gradually."
"Name your conditions, and I'll agree to them all," Ye Taihe said, sounding anxious.
"So soon?" Ye Xingchen smiled and slowly stood up. "My parents were together back then, but they weren't married. And all these years, your Ye family has never acknowledged my mother's identity."
"If you want me to save you, it's simple: acknowledge that she is the matriarch of the Ye family."
"If I acknowledge her identity, will you be able to save me?" Ye Taihe asked.
"Of course it's not that simple." Ye Xingchen smiled. "Secondly, you need to publicly admit the mistakes you made back then, repent before your ancestors, and be sincere."
"What about the others?" Ye Taihe clenched his fist.
"All of the Ye family's resources will be at my disposal," Ye Xingchen said.
"Sure, is there any more?" Ye Taihe practically swallowed his anger.
"You agree to all of this?" Ye Xingchen laughed. "Make this clear: I will not return to the Ye family, and I am not interested in the position of the head of the Ye family. I want your Ye family to listen to me completely from now on."
"I understand what you mean, I agree." Ye Taihe let out a long breath: "Do you have any other requests?"
"As expected of the head of the Ye family, you are a master strategist who can endure what ordinary people cannot. You probably don't know this, but when people are extremely angry, they can't hide their expressions." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "Look at your face, it's almost black."
"But you can still maintain your composure. I admire you, I really admire you." Ye Xingchen smiled.
"So, do you have any other requests?" Ye Taihe asked.
"That's all." Ye Xingchen spread his hands.
"Then, when will you treat my illness?" Ye Taihe's expression relaxed.
"Once I go to Jinluo City and bring back my father's remains, I will treat your illness," Ye Xingchen said with a slight smile.
"When will we have to wait?" Ye Taihe's expression suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "Don't you know what kind of place Jinluo City is?"
