Xu Qingyun was taken aback by the question. She was somewhat surprised that Ye Boyun would mention the funeral, and even more surprised that Ye Boyun would ask her this question.
What does this mean? Are you worried that no one will collect his body?
"Xiao Yun," Ye Boyun pressed.
Xu Qingyun frowned. "I'm obligated to accept your gifts. Now that I've taken over the Ye Group, I'll attend your funeral."
Hearing this, Ye Boyun was finally relieved. "Girl, you have to keep your word. You can't lie to the old man. You will take care of my funeral as his granddaughter."
Xu Qingyun frowned. She had only agreed to come, yet Ye Boyun took the opportunity to suggest that she take care of everything herself?
After Ye Boyun and his group left, Xu Qingyun couldn't help but look at Ji Hanchen, "He seems to be dying."
Ji Hanchen's gaze was sharp, and his voice was clear and cold, "To be able to withstand so many blows at this age is already a testament to inner strength."
Xu Qingyun remained silent.
Having lost his adopted son, grandson, and daughter in succession, the Ye family suffered a series of devastating blows, ultimately forcing him to hand over the Ye family business to someone with whom he had no connection. Such a series of setbacks were indeed too heavy for Ye Boyun.
However, everything has its cause and effect, and everything that has happened now is Ye Boyun's own fault.
**
Ye Family Manor.
Dozens of servants stood in two neat rows, waiting for Ye Boyun to get out of the car, and bowed in unison: "Master Ye."
Ye Boyun's sharp gaze swept over these people, and he felt a little dazed.
He then looked at the vast manor, which was filled with people, but it was eerily quiet.
Previously, Ye Xiao and Leng Shuang were allowed to live in the villa because it was lively with more people. Now that Ye Xiao is dead and Leng Shuang has disappeared, the entire villa is empty.
He had dinner with Xu Qingyun, Ji Hanchen, and the Huo family father and son today, and the atmosphere there touched him.
That's how a family should be.
If he could live a few more days, perhaps he could spend more time with Fu Yue's granddaughter.
Once underground, if Fu Yue mocks him, he can retort: "Sorry, I get along well with your granddaughter."
Thinking of this, Ye Boyun was in a good mood and even hummed a Huangmei Opera tune. The butler felt uneasy listening to the operatic style in his voice.
The old man had been listless before, but now he's radiant, which is just like a final burst of energy before death.
Just then, a servant came in to report, "Master, Mr. Ren has arrived."
Mr. Ren, Mr. Anjing.
Ye Boyun's good mood vanished, and he said in a deep voice, "I won't see you."
"Uncle Ye, I've already entered uninvited." Ren Anjing, dressed in a black down jacket and black leather boots, with a cold and ruthless face, looked extremely powerful.
Ye Boyun slowly sat down on the sofa and said coldly, "What do you mean by barging into my place in the middle of the night?"
Ren Anjing sat down on the sofa without any politeness. "For the sake of your shares. Uncle Ye, I told you, I can save the Ye family business. What benefits will you get if you transfer your shares to Xu Qingyun? Do you know that this means handing over the Ye family business to someone else?"
Ye Boyun snorted coldly, "Of course I know. But why are you in such a hurry? I know you are ambitious and want the Ye family. Now that I have handed the entire Ye family over to Xu Qingyun, and Ji Hanchen has married Xu Qingyun, doesn't that mean the Ye family is also in your hands?"
Ren Anjing snorted coldly, "I said, I don't acknowledge Xu Qingyun, she can forget about marrying into the Ji family!"
Hearing her so vehement, Ye Boyun merely raised an eyebrow. "Do you think you have the final say? Your son doesn't seem to listen to you."
Ren Anjing appeared outwardly calm, but her heart was burning with intense passion.
Yes, her relationship with Ji Hanchen is becoming increasingly strained, even to the point of being like enemies. If this continues, what's the point of all she's doing?
"You take back the shares and management rights you gave to Xu Qingyun, and I'll help you revive the Ye family business! For nothing!"
boom!
Ye Boyun stared at Ren Anjing in disbelief, then narrowed his eyes after a long while, gritting his teeth as he asked, "Really?!"
"Really!" Ren Anjing's gaze was sharp, without a trace of lying.

That evening, Ji Yaxuan called Huo Miaomiao.
"Where have you been running off to, kid? Aren't you coming back? Are you neglecting the company's projects?" Ji Yaxuan asked in a low voice.
Huo Miaomiao was a little annoyed. "My brother didn't go back either, and all you do is criticize me. Why don't you ever say anything about my brother?"
"Stop mentioning Huo Yan. I've told you, you're not like him," Ji Yaxuan said in a slightly stern tone.
“It’s always the same with us. I know you like sons, okay?” Huo Miaomiao rolled her eyes. She was numb to it all and no longer jealous.
"Where did you go last night?"
"Go have dinner with Ye Boyun. Today's dinner is quite interesting. Ye Boyun, my dad, my brother, my cousin Ji Hanchen, and Xu Qingyun are all here."
"By the way, Mom, did you know that Ye Boyun gave the Ye family to Xu Qingyun?"
"What?!" Ji Yaxuan's head went blank for a moment, and she raised her voice in disbelief.
Huo Miaomiao found it amusing, "Why are you so agitated?"
Ji Yaxuan took a while to calm down before squinting her eyes and asking, "Are you sure?"
"Of course I'm sure."
Ji Yaxuan's heart was in turmoil.
How could someone as selfish as Ye Boyun hand over the Ye family to an outsider?!
They must have been coerced!
Otherwise, Ye Boyun wouldn't have agreed to Ren Anjing's offer of 30% of the shares to revive the Ye family. How could he just hand over the Ye family to someone else like that?!
This news caught Ji Yaxuan completely off guard, and she simply couldn't believe it.
What are Huo Yan and Huo Xize doing there?!
Could it be...?
Did Huo Xize know that Xu Qingyun was his child?!
impossible.
Ye Jianjia managed to escape right under her nose back then, and even she only found out later that Ye Jianjia was pregnant with Xu Qingyun, so Huo Xize had even less reason to know.
If Huo Xize knew that Huo Yan was pursuing Xu Qingyun, how could he not stop him? Would he just stand by and watch his own son fall for his own daughter?
What about Huo Yan?
Did he really develop romantic feelings for Xu Qingyun?
Originally, she wanted to facilitate this, but how painful would it be for Huo Yan to find out that the lovers had ended up as siblings?
Then Huo Yan would be completely ruined and would be completely out of the running for the Huo family's inheritance.
But something seems off.
Did they know Huo Yan was faking it?!
impossible.
Huo Yan couldn't possibly know that his mother was Ye Jianjia, after all, it wasn't the Huo family who abandoned the mother and kept the child, but rather Ji Yaxuan who cut open her abdomen to take the child!
No one knew about this except her, her brother Ji Huai, and the Bai family.
Ji Yaxuan tried to calm herself down and thought about it carefully for a long time before finally calling Bai Shuze.
At this time, Bai Shuze was still reading the Pharmacopoeia in his study.
Seeing this number, which had no name on it but was etched in his memory, he was momentarily lost in thought. His heart, which had been as still as water for many years, was like a calm lake being touched by a dragonfly, leaving ripples in its wake.
After a moment of stunned silence, Bai Shuze tried to calm himself down before answering the phone, "It's me."
