Young Master Ye?
Shen Manshu was slightly taken aback, and looked at Shen Shi'en with a blank expression, not knowing who this person was.
Before Shen Shi'en could speak, the man stepped forward with a gentle smile. "This must be Miss Shen. Hello, I am Ye Feng! The vice president of the Yandu Longteng Chamber of Commerce!"
"Dragon Soaring Chamber of Commerce?"
Shen Manshu's beautiful eyes showed a slight surprise.
She had certainly heard of the Longteng Chamber of Commerce; it was a major chamber of commerce in Yandu, ranking among the top in the country!
Moreover, it is said that the Longteng Chamber of Commerce is backed by aristocratic families. Could it be that Ye Feng is also a member of an aristocratic family?
Seemingly to verify her conjecture, Shen Shi'en quickly explained, "Manshu, Young Master Ye is the young master of the prestigious Ye family, a family with a distinguished history!"
Shen Manshu glanced at Ye Feng with slight surprise, then smiled and nodded as a greeting. However, she was a little puzzled. The Shen family and the Ye family had no connection whatsoever, so why did the other party suddenly come to visit her father?
At this moment, Ye Feng smiled and said, "Miss Shen, I came to Xidu this time to establish a branch of our Longteng Chamber of Commerce. In Xidu, the Marquis is the one in charge. As a newcomer, I naturally have to pay my respects to the Marquis!"
Shen Manshu immediately revealed a knowing expression.
"I never expected that the Longteng Chamber of Commerce would take a liking to our little Xidu. It's quite a surprise!" Shen Manshu said casually.
Ye Feng chuckled and said, "Although Xidu is small, it has great business opportunities. For example, the pharmaceutical industry in Northeast China is famous throughout the country! And I never expected that Xidu would have a beauty like Miss Shen, who could captivate a city with one glance and a nation with two!"
After he finished speaking, he looked intently at Shen Manshu.
To be honest, this woman wasn't exceptionally beautiful, but she possessed a unique charm. At first glance, she gave off a striking and captivating aura. Like a fine vintage Jiannanchun liquor, the initial taste was intensely spicy, but the aftertaste was incredibly mellow and smooth, leaving an unforgettable impression.
He considered himself to have seen countless women, but he was still amazed by this Miss Shen.
Shen Manshu rarely felt stared at like that by a man, and felt a little shy, but also a little annoyed. "Young Master Ye, is there something on my face? Isn't it impolite for you to stare at someone like that?!"
Ye Feng immediately snapped out of his daze, a look of embarrassment on his face. But then he said generously, "Miss Shen is so beautiful that I was momentarily stunned! But please don't misunderstand, Miss Shen. I am not a frivolous person. Everyone has a love for beauty. If someone else saw Miss Shen's beauty and wasn't amazed, I would think that person was a bit abnormal!"
Hearing this, Shen Manshu's pretty face turned even redder, and she said angrily, "You're so glib!"
"Fugui, I'm tired, help me back!"
At Shen Manshu's command, Fugui pushed Shen Manshu away into the distance.
Ye Feng frowned and couldn't help but ask Shen Shi'en, "My lord, what about the young lady's leg...?"
Shen Shi'en sighed and shook his head, saying, "An accident when she was little left my daughter in a wheelchair for more than ten years. My girl has had a hard life!"
Ye Feng frowned again and said, "I just saw that Miss Shen's legs still have feeling, so it seems that the nerves are not completely dead and there may still be hope for recovery. My guard happens to know some traditional Chinese medicine, so why don't we let him examine Miss Shen?"
After Ye Feng finished speaking, he glanced at the middle-aged man behind him.
This is his personal bodyguard, a master of both medicine and martial arts, and also a retainer of the Ye family, whose strength is extraordinary.
Shen Shi'en paused for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Never mind, it's not necessary for now. My daughter has found a good doctor, and the treatment is very effective. The doctor said that it won't be long before my daughter can get rid of the wheelchair completely!"
Shen Shi'en naturally believed Lin Yu's words.
Seeing his reaction, Ye Feng didn't press the matter further. However, upon learning that Shen Manshu was about to recover, his mind immediately became active.
He took a liking to this woman at first sight, and since she came from a hereditary family, marrying her wouldn't be a disgrace to his status as the young master of the Ye family.
Furthermore, he plans to establish a branch in Xidu, which will then become his backyard and headquarters. Forming an alliance with Shen Shi'en is tantamount to a powerful alliance. Only if he could become Shen's son-in-law would this relationship be truly unbreakable!
At this moment, he had already made up his mind to find out what Shen Shi'en was thinking when the time was right.
Afterwards, Shen Shi'en invited Ye Feng to his residence. They engaged in a warm conversation.
The Ye family was a powerful clan, and there was no conflict of interest between the two families, so Shen Shi'en was naturally happy to befriend them. After all, having such a powerful connection would be of immense benefit to the Shen family's development.
"Cough cough!"
However, Shen Shi'en seemed to be in poor health, because after talking for a while, he started coughing and his complexion didn't look good.
"My lord, are you feeling unwell?"
Ye Feng hurriedly said eagerly, "Uncle Bao, please take a look at the Marquis!"
The middle-aged man behind him immediately came over and took Shen Shi'en's pulse.
After taking his pulse, the man's eyes gleamed as he said, "My lord, you're not seriously ill. You were just very ill before, but the lesions have been removed, and you're currently in the recovery phase!"
Shen Shi'en's expression shifted slightly, and he said with a strange look in his eyes, "Mr. Bao, your medical skills are indeed extraordinary. I was indeed ill before, but I am much better now!"
Ye Feng smiled and said, "My Uncle Bao is quite skilled, Lord Marquis. How about I have Uncle Bao write you a prescription later?"
Shen Shi'en was taken aback. The young marshal had already prescribed a remedy for him, and it had worked for him. He didn't want to trouble the other party.
He shook his head to refuse, just then a servant came over with a bowl of soup.
"My lord, your mung bean soup is here!"
Shen Shi'en was slightly taken aback, then nodded and picked it up.
However, just as he was about to drink, Uncle Bao's expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "My lord, please wait!"
Shen Shi'en froze, looking at him with a surprised expression. "Mr. Bao, what's going on...?"
Uncle Bao shook his head and said with a serious expression, "My lord, your body is still recovering. It's normal to have some internal heat from taking some tonics, but you absolutely cannot use things like mung bean soup to cool down. Your body is already cold, and if you use cooling foods, it will only make matters worse and may even dissipate the medicinal properties of the tonics you are taking. It would be a loss!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Shi'en immediately showed a knowing expression, and nodded with a smile, saying, "I see. If you hadn't told me, I would have drunk it without even knowing! Alas, this mung bean soup was specially prepared by the servants with the finest bird's nest. What a pity!"
Shen Shi'en thought for a moment, then suddenly handed the bowl to Ye Feng and said with a smile, "Young Master Ye, you must be thirsty after your long journey, right? If you don't mind, you can have this mung bean soup."
