Chapter 5 A Marriage Strengthened
Upon hearing Ye Feng's bold words, Ye Dingtian's spirits lifted, and he immediately burst into hearty laughter.
"Excellent! Truly worthy of being a man of the Ye family!"
"No matter what the future holds, with such spirit, I, your grandfather, can rest assured!"
Ye Dingtian looked serious, even though Ye Feng's words were too vague and unrealistic.
He believed it too!
Or rather, we have no choice but to believe it!
Ye Feng is now the Ye family's only hope, and no matter what he does, Ye Dingtian is willing to fight alongside him.
In any case, the Ye family has nothing left to lose!
Seeing the grandfather and grandson full of enthusiasm, Shen Luoyi's eyes flashed with helplessness, and she sighed inwardly.
She had known Ye Feng since childhood. He was a simple-minded guy who had never cared about anything at home.
After serving several years in prison, his personality changed drastically. Instead of becoming more mature, he developed more impulsive tendencies.
Given his past behavior, he is bound to face many obstacles in the future.
If they do nothing, the Ye family might be able to survive, but handing the Ye family over to him will only hasten their demise.
"Grandpa, how are you feeling? Let me take a look at you."
As Shen Luoyi sighed inwardly, Ye Feng helped Ye Dingtian sit down, pulled his hand over, and placed two fingers on his wrist.
"I learned some medical skills in prison, which I can use to help you recover."
Upon hearing this, Ye Dingtian's face lit up with affection.
"Feng'er has really grown up; he knows how to care about his grandfather now."
"Grandpa has many chronic ailments, and neither traditional Chinese medicine nor Western medicine has helped him in the past."
"I'm so glad I could live to see you come back; even if I died now, I'd have no regrets."
Ye Dingtian looked pleased and at ease.
Hearing this, Ye Feng's heart trembled slightly.
"Grandpa, what did you say?"
"You haven't even seen me rebuild my family and look down upon all living beings. How can you die?"
"With me here, I will ensure your eternal life!"
"Haha, for a thousand years? Then wouldn't I become a tortoise that lives for ten thousand years?"
Ye Dingtian was joking.
"Grandpa, you scolded me too."
Ye Feng rolled his eyes and then calmed down to feel Ye Dingtian's pulse.
Upon sensing this, Ye Feng's expression turned serious; his grandfather's condition was indeed not good.
He's getting old and already has some age-related ailments.
In addition, years of depression and overwork have taken their toll on my health.
Ye Feng's hand trembled slightly. He secretly rejoiced that he had been released from prison early, otherwise he would have been separated from his grandfather forever.
Thankfully, it's not too late!
Ye Feng followed his grandfather's pulse and quietly channeled a stream of spiritual energy into him to temporarily stabilize his condition.
Ye Dingtian's body was too weak to be completely repaired with spiritual power alone.
To restore his health, he must take a medicinal pill.
Ye Feng already had the prescription, but he still needed to find the ingredients to refine the pills.
"Grandpa, you're alright."
"You should rest well these few days. I'll go out and find some medicine."
"I guarantee it will make you look young again, I wouldn't mind even finding me a stepmother!"
Ye Feng said, feigning nonchalance.
"Haha, you little rascal, you're actually making fun of me?"
Ye Dingtian felt that he hadn't laughed as many times in the past few years as he had in this short moment.
Just as the grandfather and grandson were laughing at each other.
Suddenly, Shen Luoyi's phone rang.
Upon hearing the call, her face instantly darkened.
"Grandpa, I have to go out for a bit."
After Shen Luoyi finished speaking, she hurriedly walked out of the living room.
When she arrived in the courtyard, she was met by a group of three people walking in from outside.
"What did I say? She's a traitorous beast, always running off to the Ye family!"
One of the three girls, who looked three or four parts like Shen Luoyi, pointed at her with a sarcastic expression.
This is Shen Jiaqi, the daughter of her father and his concubine.
The other two are Shen Luoyi's father, Shen Lang, and her stepmother, Liu Yan.
"Shen Jiaqi, what do you mean?"
Shen Luoyi frowned slightly. She had just received a call from her mother saying that her father and the others were coming to the Ye family to see her.
She didn't want to talk about it at the Ye family's house, which is why she left in a hurry.
I didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.
"What do I mean?"
Shen Jiaqi scoffed, "Have you been trying to curry favor with the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce lately, hoping to get the Ye family some projects from them?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Shen Luoyi's expression was indifferent.
The Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce is a top conglomerate in the Dragon Kingdom, with branches all over the country and unfathomable strength.
For an average family, doing business with them would be a tremendous opportunity for advancement.
Shen Luoyi contacted the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce because she wanted to rely on this powerful patron to help the Ye family overcome their difficulties.
However, the other party said that a very important person was coming.
The project will be discussed later, without giving her a clear answer.
"What's wrong?"
Shen Jiaqi sneered: "You have this opportunity, but instead of thinking about the Shen family, you want to give it to the Ye family."
"Am I wrong to say you're a traitor?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Luoyi pursed her lips and remained silent.
She naturally knew that cooperating with the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce would be of great benefit to the Shen family.
This opportunity was icing on the cake for the Shen family, but for the Ye family, which was already in dire straits, it was nothing short of a lifeline.
That's why she wanted to help the Ye family reach a cooperation agreement with the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce.
"hehe."
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shen Jiaqi smiled smugly and said, "Shen Luoyi, don't you think you're funny?"
"Want to help outsiders? Don't you even know your own limitations?"
"I heard you went to the Black Dragon Chamber of Commerce, but they completely ignored you and just dismissed you without a second thought."
Shen Luoyi frowned: "Since you knew, why did you come here?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiaqi became even more smug.
"I'm telling you, I've already discussed it with the manager of the Heilong Chamber of Commerce, and their project will be given to me."
"Although you didn't steal the project, the fact remains that you betrayed the family."
"Your father has already discussed it with your mother, and they've decided to marry you off to my cousin from the countryside."
"My cousin is a bit slow-witted, but he's perfectly healthy. You're the one who's getting a good deal with a jinx like you, who killed her fiancé before even getting married, hahaha..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Luoyi's expression changed drastically, and she looked at Shen Lang, who had remained silent.
"Your sister is right, I have already discussed it with your mother." Shen Lang said expressionlessly.
He was also dissatisfied with Shen Luoyi for disregarding the Shen family and giving a great opportunity to the Ye family.
At the urging of Shen Jiaqi and Liu Yan, they agreed to marry Shen Luoyi to a mentally challenged man.
"Luo Yi, my nephew is a little intellectually challenged."
Liu Yan feigned concern, saying, "However, there's no harm in it."
"Once you marry him, you'll be in charge of the household, and he'll definitely listen to you obediently."
"It's not easy for a woman to find an obedient man in her life, and you're so lucky to have no marital conflicts in the future."
"you..."
Shen Luoyi gritted her teeth, her body trembling slightly.
This woman is a scheming woman, but her father falls for her charms and becomes completely infatuated with her, neglecting his wife in favor of her.
Back when she was at home, she and her mother had often suffered at the hands of Liu Yan and Shen Jiaqi.
Unexpectedly, they had an even more wicked idea: they wanted to marry her off to a fool.
She looked at Shen Lang, whose face was cold and indifferent, and felt a wave of despair.
"Good fortune?"
"What a blessing!"
"Then why not just have your daughter marry into that family? It'll be a double blessing!"
Just then, a cheerful voice came from the Ye family's living room.
