After giving his instructions, Old Master Ye looked at Ye Yuan and said, "What are you still standing here for? Pack your things, go back and write your resignation, and make sure you've handed over your work properly!"
Ye Yuan looked at the "anesthetist" who had almost killed his sister, his heart churning with turmoil.
If Ye Dong was instigated by He Su to threaten Rong Zhaonan by jumping off a building.
How could the Xiang family have known that Ye Dong would do this, and arranged for people to create the illusion that Ye Dong jumped off a building because of an "argument" with Rong Zhaonan?
This only indicates that He Su and Xiang San had contact.
And that stupid girl Ye Dong actually conspired with a thief behind his back!
Little did she know, she was the one being slaughtered!
Grandpa seemed to know something, which is why he appeared here.
Did Rong Zhaonan have any contact with his grandfather?
Ye Yuan felt a mix of emotions. He glanced at Rong Zhaonan, wanting to say something, but Rong Zhaonan didn't even look at him.
He lowered his eyes sadly.
He suddenly realized that when Rong Zhaonan first warned him at the hospital, he was hoping that he could persuade Dongdong to stay and preserve their brotherhood.
It was because of his and Dongdong's selfish motives that they unintentionally aided and abetted evil, thus squandering their brotherhood.
After Ye Yuan left in silence, Rong Zhaonan had Aheng take the big assassin away.
Only he, Old Master Ye, Old Master Ye's personal secretary, and Ning Yuan remained in the room.
Old Master Ye looked at Rong Zhaonan again: "I believe you can handle the rest of the matter well. If you need anything, just tell Secretary Cao, and he will cooperate with you."
Rong Zhaonan nodded earnestly: "Grandpa Ye, don't worry, I won't let you down."
Old Master Ye nodded in satisfaction, then paused and suddenly said, "Don't blame your father too much. He never told me to tell you that the reason Ye Yuanhui escorted you out of the capital was actually because your father came to me and begged me to protect you. He was afraid that the Xiang brothers wouldn't let you go."
Rong Zhaonan's broad back stiffened slightly, and his expression turned cold.
Looking at his expression, Old Ye sighed and gently patted his shoulder: "The situation at that time was already far from optimistic. Your father had been relieved of his post and even had his freedom restricted. There were some things he didn't want to do, but he had no choice but to do them. Perhaps..."
The old man paused for a moment: "Would you like to ask him why he did that?"
Rong Zhaonan remained silent and did not answer.
Grandpa Ye didn't insist, as it was someone else's family matter and he shouldn't offer too much of an opinion.
Rong Wenwu has indeed made many mistakes and can hardly be considered a good teacher.
But he himself wasn't really in a position to criticize Rong Wenwu, since he hadn't raised his own two grandsons and granddaughters well either.
Grandpa Ye looked at the petite girl beside him. She had big eyes and a naturally baby face, and didn't look older than Ye Dong.
This girl had big, clear, and mature eyes, and she looked like a very decisive and upright person. She won the favor of old men and women like him at first glance.
When he returned from the sanatorium in Beidaihe and had tea with the old folks at the veterans' center, he heard several of them mention the girl.
The old folks didn't know the girl was Zhao Nan's wife; they only spoke highly of her interesting personality and her whimsical ideas and insights.
He was already very curious, so he had someone investigate. Sure enough, she was a remarkable young woman, with people even speaking up for her in Shanghai.
When Zhao Nan discovered that he was investigating, he didn't hide it from him and told him about the Ning family. They were also a pitiful child with a tragic past, but it was rare that they didn't turn out badly.
Seeing this little girl now, he liked her very much. Sigh, if only his own granddaughter were like this... Indeed, the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
No wonder Zhao Nan, such an unruly and extremely picky kid, would chase after him so eagerly.
Ning Yuan noticed that Grandpa Ye was looking at her, and it was that kind of look again—ah, what a pity, why isn't it the look of pity and regret for his own child.
She smiled sweetly at Grandpa Ye, her big eyes crinkling, and said, "Hello, Grandpa Ye."
"Ah, what a good child." Old Master Ye was in a good mood just looking at him.
He now understood why several of his old buddies had been so impressed with this young girl.
Besides being intelligent, insightful, and knowing when to advance and retreat, the little girl has a very lucky and cute appearance, and her smile is both well-behaved, sweet, and clever.
She is completely influenced by the older generation's aesthetic preferences for their grandchildren!
Grandpa Ye stood up, leaning on his cane, and took a red paper packet from his pocket, handing it over—
"My two good-for-nothing children have caused you a lot of trouble. I've been working and fighting in Lingnan for a long time, and I know that you have to give a red envelope when you first meet your child. I hope you and Zhaonan have a long and happy marriage!"
Ning Yuan's eyes widened. Holy crap, holy crap... The big shot who only appears in books sent her a red envelope!
The feeling of a historical figure suddenly becoming someone close to you, not only that, but also giving you a red envelope and calling you a good child, is truly a unique kind of euphoric feeling!
Suppressing her excitement, Ning Yuan quickly went up to accept the red envelope: "Thank you, Grandpa Ye!"
"Yes, Zhao Nan is a stubborn and arrogant boy. Sometimes he doesn't know how to speak properly and his actions don't please girls. If you're wronged, tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will spank him for you," Grandpa Ye said gently.
Rong Zhaonan supported Old Master Ye, a slight blush of embarrassment appearing on his usually aloof and handsome face.
Ning Yuan found it somewhat amusing, but she could also tell that the old man treated Rong Zhaonan like his own grandson. He genuinely liked Rong Zhaonan and always protected him.
She nodded obediently, "I understand, Grandpa."
Grandpa Ye smiled with satisfaction, asked his secretary to leave her a phone number, and then helped himself away.
Only Ning Yuan and Rong Zhaonan remained in the room.
For some reason... he suddenly just stared at her!
Ning Yuan actually felt a little embarrassed. What was he doing staring at her like that...?
She simply turned her face away and asked, "So, we won't open the red envelope?"
No matter how much money is inside, she won't use it anyway; it's a souvenir!
Rong Zhaonan nodded.
As Ning Yuan put away the red envelope given to her by Old Master Ye and prepared to leave, he suddenly reached out and grabbed her small hand, pulling her into his arms.
Ning Yuan was embraced tightly in his broad arms.
She said sullenly, "What are you doing? There are people outside!"
This is Ye Dong's hospital room, Young Master Rong, please stop acting crazy!
Rong Zhaonan lowered his head and rubbed his face against hers like a big dog without any politeness. Suddenly he said, "The Xiang family is about to be finished. I'm afraid Xiang San will do something desperate. You have to be careful. Don't go out unless necessary. It will be safe once this is over."
Ning Yuan was taken aback, her eyes narrowed as he rubbed against her, and she reached out to push him away: "Alright, I know."
"Be careful. Boss Xiang's whereabouts are unknown now. He's no longer in Shanghai. He's more troublesome than Xiang San." Rong Zhaonan suppressed his urge to press her down and kiss her properly, and whispered his advice.
...
"What? Ye Dong is alright?" He Su, who was sitting in a teahouse near the hospital, turned grim upon hearing the news.
She had someone tamper with the car so it would break down halfway through the journey, thus avoiding a trip to the hospital.
In this way, no one would suspect her of Ye Dong's death.
"Bang!" She slammed the teacup on the table. "Useless! Xiang San is a good-for-nothing who can't do anything right!"
"Won't Ye Dong betray us?" Aunt Xu asked worriedly.
