Chapter 10: Undercurrents within the Ye Family, the Appearance of the Beloved Little Princess
"Ah Chen, why are you staring at your second uncle?"
Ye Chen's third aunt, Ye Wanqing, asked casually.
She concealed it well, if only her slightly trembling hands hadn't betrayed her inner unease.
"Third Aunt, did you give Grandma the blood jade bracelet?" Ye Chen asked casually.
Ye Wanqing fell silent.
She swallowed hard, under Ye Chen's increasingly icy gaze.
He struggled to speak: "Ah Chen, I didn't give Mom the bracelet. I just knew that there were such high-end items at that auction."
"Ah."
Ye Chen gave a cold laugh.
Not far away, Old Master Ye held a walnut he was playing with, watching them indifferently.
What are these kids up to?
He knew what was going on.
But if they harm Ah Yin, he won't let them off the hook!
Looking coldly at Ye Wanqing, Ye Chen frowned slightly: "Third Aunt, you'd better be a coincidence."
Ye Yuanbai looked over: "Achen, what are you doing?"
Everyone is worried about Mom's illness, so why are you taking your anger out on your aunt?
You're getting cold-hearted as you grow older!
As he spoke, Ye Yuanbai looked at Old Master Ye: "Dad, look at this child, Achen..."
Ye Yuanbai didn't have a chance to say what came next.
Under the cold gaze of Old Master Ye, Ye Yuanbai fell silent.
He lowered his head, his fists clenched.
Why should the company give the eldest brother's child a chance, while they don't have any chance at all?
What era are we living in?!
Only the eldest son can inherit the family property!
Ye Chen glanced coldly at his second uncle.
"Brother Chen, how is Grandma now?" A timid voice interrupted Ye Chen's thoughts.
Ye Chen lowered his eyes and glanced at the person who had arrived.
She is Ye Yuanbai's eldest daughter, Ye Linling.
Ye Linling just turned eighteen this year. She is pretty and cute, with fair skin that has a pinkish tint.
For so many years, the Ye family had only sons, and only had one daughter.
She was pampered by the entire Ye family and treated like a treasure since she was a child.
She was simply lost for a period of time due to the family's negligence, but when she returned, she was still the princess of the Ye family.
Ye Chen's voice was devoid of emotion: "I don't know, they're trying to save him."
Ye Linling bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes red and filled with tears.
"don’t worry."
Ye Chen patted Ye Linling on the back reassuringly, "Go sit over there and wait."
"it is good."
As she turned around, Ye Linling's tears fell.
Her older and younger brothers were all comforting her.
Xiao Jiu Jiu's gaze lingered on Ye Linling for a moment before landing on another girl.
The girl didn't sit down, and no one paid any attention to her.
She stood quietly in the corner, nervously clutching the hem of her skirt.
Xiao Jiu Jiu picked up the coal briquettes.
Coal Ball's claws rested on Little Jiu Jiu's thin shoulders.
"Is that her, Coal Ball?"
She sensed an evil force emanating from that girl.
It's not deep, but it should be the same as the one on my grandmother.
"Meow~"
Coal Ball whispered: "It's her. This person isn't as simple as she seems."
Be careful, you little schemer!
"Ah."
"Hello, is this your cat?" Ye Linling approached Xiao Jiu Jiu.
Tears still clung to her face as she looked at the coal ball with clear, loving eyes.
Xiao Jiu Jiu looked up, her big, watery eyes fixed on Ye Linling: "Yes."
"Your cat is so cute! Can I hold it?"
"Meow~"
As soon as Ye Linling finished speaking, she was met with a strong protest from Meiqiu.
Don't hand me over to her; I don't like her perfume.
The person is fine.
"Excuse me."
Xiao Jiu Jiu hugged Mei Qiu tightly and smiled at her: "Mei Qiu doesn't like the scent of your perfume."
Looking at the cat head hiding behind Xiao Jiu Jiu, Ye Linling said with some regret, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have worn perfume."
"It's not your fault for wearing perfume. We'll hug again another time."
Xiao Jiujiu smiled at her.
Ye Linling sat down next to her.
"Whose child is this?"
A boy dressed in casual clothes walked over, his gaze towards Xiao Jiu Jiu somewhat unfriendly:
"It's your honor that our Lingling likes your cat, how dare you refuse?"
Ye Linling grabbed his hand, "Third brother, don't scare the children like that!"
"Linling likes it, what's wrong with giving her a hug?" Ye Yunli said, dissatisfied.
Xiao Jiujiu gave him a fake smile.
The smile appeared for only a moment before vanishing.
Ye Yunli was somewhat annoyed: "Where did this kid come from? So rude!"
"Politeness is relative. My brother is so fierce and has no manners at all."
Faced with Xiao Jiu Jiu's childish accusations, Ye Yunli felt humiliated.
Ye Linling quickly pulled him back and smiled at Xiao Jiujiu: "Sorry, it was our fault."
Xiao Jiujiu glanced at Ye Yunli and snorted, "I forgive you."
"Ah Chen, how is your grandma..." Ye Yuanbai asked casually after searching for a topic for a while.
Ye Chen said coldly, "Wait until the doctor comes out and ask."
He's not a doctor, and he doesn't know what's going on inside. What can he do but wait?
Ye Yuanbai, who was choked for a moment, wanted to speak, but Ye Wanqing tugged at his sleeve.
"Brother, don't worry about Ah Chen, everyone is worried. Just trust the doctor."
Ye Wanqing pulled Ye Yuanbai to sit down.
Ye Yuanbai complained, "My older brother hasn't come for half a day. I don't know what he's doing."
They don't care about their mother's safety at all.
"Big Brother has a very important contract to sign today, and he's still out of town," said Ye Chen's third uncle, Ye Yuanshu.
Yeh Yuan-po: "Everyone rushed back. No matter how important the contract is, it's not as important as Mom."
"That's not what you said when you received your dividends."
A cool, clear female voice rang out from not far away.
All eyes turned to that direction.
Two people arrived.
The man was burly and wore a suit; his face bore a striking resemblance to Ye Chen.
The woman was wearing a business suit, her hair was tied up, and she looked like a business professional.
Two people came in one after the other.
Those who were sitting all stood up.
"Brother, sister-in-law."
Zhou Jing glanced at them coldly: "If anyone has any complaints, speak up."
Ye Yuansong said with a smile, "Yes, if you have any complaints, just say so. We're all brothers."
Ye Yuanbai, who had been babbling on and on, immediately shut up.
This eldest sister-in-law is the only daughter of the Zhou family. She manages the entire Zhou family and has considerable influence in the Ye family.
Despite his kind demeanor and ever-present smile, Ye Yuansong is a very amiable person.
In fact, he was the most insidious of them all.
Ye Chen glanced at the silent Ye Yuansong and sat back down in his chair.
Grandpa Ye, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, paid no attention to the various minor conflicts on the ground.
Only after Ye Chen sat down did he speak: "Where is Ninth Girl?"
"She's hiding next to the water dispenser, so no one will bother her for now." Ye Chen glanced at where Xiao Jiu Jiu was.
Sensing being watched, Xiao Jiu Jiu peeked out from beside the water dispenser.
He smiled after meeting Ye Chen's eyes.
After a long wait, the operating room door finally opened.
The Ye family swarmed around them...
