Chapter 128: Healing and Saving Lives

At this moment, facing Xiao Churan’s questioning, her mother-in-law Ma Lan said irritably, “No matter what, you have the blood of the Xiao family running through your veins! Besides, your grandmother has already apologized to me, saying she was just confused for a moment and was angered by Xiao Hailong’s instigation. Moreover, Xiao Hailong has been severely punished by her. What more are you dissatisfied with?”

Xiao Churan replied angrily, “So what if she apologized? I know my grandmother all too well. Even if she apologizes, it’s definitely not from the heart! She just wants me to go back and help her secure the cooperation with the Dihao Group.”

Ma Lan hurriedly advised, “Don’t think so badly of your grandmother. We are all family; how can there be overnight grudges?”

“I am not family with the Xiao family,” Xiao Churan said furiously. “I will never go back to work at the Xiao Group.”

“What kind of talk is that?” Ma Lan said discontentedly. “Your grandmother has recognized her mistakes. Are you going to make an elder lower their face to apologize to you?”

As she spoke, Ma Lan added, “To show her sincerity, your grandmother even gave me a gold necklace and two jade bracelets…”

“Mom, just say directly that you want those jewelry your grandmother gave you,” Xiao Churan snapped.

After saying this in anger, she ignored Ma Lan and turned to walk into the bedroom.

Ye Chen quickly followed her inside.

In the living room, Ma Lan angrily said, “Look at your daughter.”

Unexpectedly, Xiao Changkun also ignored her and turned to leave.

In the bedroom, Xiao Churan was still fuming and complained to Ye Chen, “I never expected the Xiao family would try to buy my mom off with jewelry. They know she’s greedy for money! And my mom, too, just because the Xiao family sent a few pieces of jewelry and said a few nice words, she gets confused and forgets how they insulted her in the past.”

Although Ye Chen felt unhappy, he didn’t want to speak ill of his mother-in-law and could only advise, “When we severed ties with the Xiao family, Mom didn’t go with us, so she might not know their despicable methods.”

Xiao Churan said, “What if she insists that I go back to work?”

Ye Chen replied, “You think it over. Whatever decision you make, I will support you.”

Xiao Churan nodded and firmly said, “I still want to start my own business properly!”

Ye Chen smiled slightly, “I think so too. If you work hard on your business, you will definitely succeed!”

As they spoke, Ye Chen thought to himself that he should take some time to invite Qin Gang from the Qin family, Chen Zekai from the Baijinhan Palace, Master Hong from the underworld, Song Wanting from the Song family, and Wang Zhenggang from the Wang family out for a meal to greet them and ask them to take care of his wife’s career in the future.

Just as he was thinking about this, Ye Chen suddenly received a call from Song Wanting. She respectfully said on the phone, “Master Ye, it’s me, Song Wanting. I wonder if you are busy?”

Ye Chen replied casually, “No, Miss Song, feel free to say what you need.”

Song Wanting said, “Master Ye, my grandfather has been unwell recently, and we haven’t been able to figure out what’s wrong. I wonder if you have time to come to my grandfather’s house to take a look?”

She added, “Don’t worry, the consultation fee will definitely not shortchange you.”

Ye Chen thought for a moment. Since Song Wanting is from a top family in Jinling, and he might need her help with his wife’s business in the future, he readily agreed, saying, “Then let’s do it tonight.”

Song Wanting immediately expressed her gratitude, “Alright, I’ll come pick you up tonight!”

“Okay.”

After hanging up with Song Wanting, Ye Chen told Xiao Churan, “A friend is looking for me tonight, so I won’t be having dinner at home.”

Xiao Churan nodded and didn’t ask further, just reminded him, “When you’re out, don’t always get involved with that feng shui stuff. If others think you’re a fraud, it could cause trouble.”

Ye Chen smiled slightly, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

…

That evening, Song Wanting personally drove to the community to pick up Ye Chen.

Upon seeing Ye Chen, she respectfully clasped her hands and said, “Master Ye, I’m sorry to trouble you.”

Ye Chen smiled slightly, “Miss Song, there’s no need to be so polite.”

After speaking, he noticed a diamond bracelet on her wrist and curiously asked, “The bracelet that was lost last time, is it this one?”

Song Wanting quickly nodded, saying, “It’s this one. My mother left it to me before she passed away. It’s as important to me as my life. Thanks to Master Ye, otherwise, I might never have found it again.”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “You have a bond with it. Even if I didn’t help you, it might eventually find its way back to you.”

Song Wanting knew Ye Chen was being modest and quickly said, “Master Ye, it’s rare to find someone with real skills like you who is also so humble and low-key. It’s truly unheard of.”

Ye Chen laughed, “There’s no need to flatter me, Miss Song. Let’s hurry and get to business.”

Song Wanting quickly nodded, “Master Ye, please get in the car!”

As they sat in Song Wanting’s Rolls Royce, the driver sped towards the Song family’s mansion in Jinling.

This was a typical Chinese-style villa, grand and majestic, with seven layers of gardens, exuding classical beauty and poetic charm, showcasing the owner’s refined taste.

Moreover, this estate covered a vast area, and owning such a large piece of land in Jinling clearly indicated the Song family’s wealth.

Under Song Wanting’s guidance, Ye Chen arrived at the main courtyard. As soon as he entered, he saw a young man in a suit walking towards him with an elderly man of distinguished appearance and a young girl.

“Little sister, this is…”

The handsome young man looked at Ye Chen with confusion.

“This is Master Ye,” Song Wanting introduced to both of them. “Master Ye, this is my cousin Song Rongyu.”

Ye Chen nodded, “Hello.”

“Master Ye?”

The young man scanned Ye Chen from head to toe and then sarcastically said, “Little sister, you invited a so-called master who is even younger than me to treat grandpa? Isn’t that a bit of a joke?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen felt a slight stir in his heart.

On the way here, Song Wanting had mentioned that the old man was now critically ill, hanging by a thread.

The younger generation in the family was all trying their best, hoping to cure the old man and achieve great merit, which would help them get a larger share of the inheritance later.

Especially Song Wanting and her cousin Song Rongyu.

Unfortunately, all the famous doctors they had invited had returned empty-handed.

It seemed that Song Rongyu had a bit of hostility towards Song Wanting, and his gaze towards Ye Chen was also filled with displeasure.

At this moment, Song Wanting spoke up, “Brother, Master Ye is very capable. My luck was very poor before, and it was Master Ye who helped me turn it around. He’s truly extraordinary.”

Song Rongyu disdainfully said, “Little sister, treating grandpa requires a divine doctor, not some feng shui master who plays tricks and talks nonsense, you know?”
