In the city hospital, Chu Yao brought the tonic soup she had made by hand for her mother.

Hearing that Ye Qiu had left not long ago, Chu Yao was stunned for a mont.

Chu’s mother put the bowl in her hand down on the table, took Chu Yao’s hand, and said, “Mother can tell that you like that Ye Qiu, and I think he’s quite good too.

It was he who saved my life; otherwise, I wouldn’t have made it to this point.”

“If you can be with him, Mother can rest assured.

It’s obvious that he is a man worthy of a lifeti commitnt.”

“Mother, what are you talking about?” Chu Yao’s face turned red in an instant, and she pretended not to understand.

Chu’s mother smiled, touched Chu Yao’s cheek, and said, “Silly child, you are the flesh that fell from my body, whatever you are thinking, I can tell with just a glance.

Ever since you brought him to the hospital to see , I knew you had a good feeling for him.”

“The uncles and aunties around also say this young man is good.

Such a promising man, if you don’t take hold, it’s very likely that another woman will snatch him away.

Don’t make the sa mistake I did when I was young—I didn’t choose the right man, and that’s why you and I have had to suffer together.”

“I see there’s a girl with Ye Qiu, though she’s a bit younger, she doesn’t seem to mind fancying that kid.

You should be careful.”

“Oh, Mother, stop it, please, drink the soup before it gets cold.” Chu Yao quickly picked up the bowl, shifting away from her embarrassnt, and began to feed her mother the soup, spoonful by spoonful.

Chu Yao’s face didn’t show any thoughts, but at this mont, because of her mother’s words, ripples stirred in her heart.

…

Seeing Ye Zi appear again, Shangguan Hong was sowhat surprised and gave a friendly nod, then discussed with Ye Qiu about going back to the family to treat grandfather’s illness.

As for Ye Zi, she was like an invisible person, rarely speaking.

Shangguan Hong had gotten used to it a long ti ago.

The two discussed visiting the Shangguan family the next morning.

When Ye Qiu, Shangguan Hong, and Ye Zi all entered the villa, Niu Yinyin imdiately jumped up, exclaiming, “Big Brother Ye Qiu is back, there’s food to eat.”

Shangguan Hong laughed and said, “This girl now just loves the food you cook.”

Niu Yinyin expressed her dissatisfaction with Shangguan Hong’s remark, saying, “Sister Shangguan, when Brother Ye Qiu cooks, you eat way more than I do, that ans you really enjoy it too.”

Shangguan Hong, defeated by Niu Yinyin’s innocent face and earnest tone, threatened, “If you talk nonsense again, Ye Qiu won’t cook for you.”

“Psh, Brother Ye Qiu is the best to , he won’t let his baby go hungry.” Niu Yinyin shook her head, indicating she wasn’t intimidated by Shangguan Hong’s threat.

Watching the two bicker, Ye Qiu felt Shangguan Hong had returned to her forr self, all her worries vanished, filled with vigor and vitality.

Yes, this was the real Shangguan Hong.

Dinner was prepared by Ye Qiu himself, sea bass along with two stir-fried green vegetable dishes, all delicious in both appearance and taste.

Soon, the tantalizing aroma filled the house.

Shangguan Hong and Niu Yinyin started feasting at once, eating with great enjoynt.

Ye Qiu’s appetite was huge as well.

In the Delta, he had never eaten a decent al; he and Ye Zi constantly trekked through the rainforest without a mont of peace.

Now back in the country, with no need to be on high alert, he felt much more relaxed.

It wasn’t even dark yet when Shangguan Hong, using the excuse that “enough sleep is needed to treat grandfather well,” pushed Ye Qiu into his own room, hoping for him to be in his best state the next day.

Just now at the dinner table, Ye Qiu learned from Shangguan Hong and Niu Yinyin that Shen ngchen seldom returned to the villa these days, and each visit was very hasty.

Ye Qiu was curious about how busy Shen ngchen was with the company, wondering if she had her own team by now.

In such a company with many shareholders, even inheriting the majority shareholder position from her father, it would be a tough job for soone just taking charge of the company, let alone a woman; that was even more challenging.

Ye Qiu could imagine the difficulties Shen ngchen was facing, but he also believed that through this she would mature and turn into a great bird, free to soar in the sky.

When Shangguan Hong brought Ye Qiu to the family ho, he saw an old Capital City-style quadrangle courtyard with two stone lions at the gate.

The wooden door exuded the lingering scent of pine and was carved with various floral patterns, etching the traces of the years.

What was most surprising was the location of the place, surrounded by military-related departnts, and not far from the manor was a troop, from where one could clearly hear the drilling chants.

From this, Ye Qiu could deduce the deep influence of the Shangguan family, definitely having a profound political background.

“My grandfather is an old revolutionary, retired for many years now.

When you et him, don’t be too stiff; as for the other mbers of the family, don’t mind them, I’ll speak for you,” Shangguan Hong inford Ye Qiu in advance, asking him not to mind the attitude of her family mbers.

In fact, Ye Qiu had underestimated the Shangguan family’s attitude towards him.

Upon hearing that Shangguan Hong had brought soone to treat the old master’s illness, the entire family turned out.

“Shangguan Hong, is this the person you brought back to treat Grandpa’s illness?

He looks very young,” the first to speak was Shangguan Hong’s cousin-in-law, with a tone both sarcastic and peculiar.

She sized up Ye Qiu and then promptly lost interest.

In her eyes, Ye Qiu didn’t at all seem like a master of healing; he was too young.

Her husband, the cousin, also chid in, nodding in agreent with his wife’s words, remarking, “Your sister-in-law is right; this person is so young, and yet you dare to let him treat the old master?”

“If the old master were to be treated by him and sothing were to happen, what would our Shangguan family do without the old master?”

“Stop being ridiculous.”

“That’s true.

Modern dicine can’t solve the old master’s illness—only traditional Chinese dicine could possibly help.

But seeing his age, and even if he knows a thing or two about Chinese dicine, it doesn’t an he can cure the old master.”

Before Shangguan Hong could speak a word, the family mbers were all talking at once, expressing their disbelief in Ye Qiu’s abilities.

“Even if there’s just a glimr of hope, I won’t give up.

I believe in him,” Shangguan Hong didn’t bother to argue with everyone.

After dropping that comnt, she proceeded straight to the back yard with Ye Qiu.

Passing through the rockery and long corridor, they saw two elderly n sitting in a pavilion not far away.

“Let’s go over,” Shangguan Hong said to Ye Qiu.

The two had walked only a few steps to the pavilion when they saw the elderly n were imrsed in a ga of Go.

Just as Shangguan Hong was about to speak, she was pulled back by Ye Qiu, who whispered, “This is a critical mont; let’s not disturb the two old masters.”

Shangguan Hong nodded, and the two waited for over ten minutes before the Go ga finally ca to an end.

“Haha, Old Jiang, you’ve lost again,” laughed the elder sitting opposite, his laughter soon followed by several coughs.

“It’s just that you, Old Shangguan, have improved your tactical play.

I’ve won so many gas against you that it’s normal to lose one eventually; I was one move too late!” the elder with the surna Jiang said.

“We’re all getting old, our minds aren’t as sharp anymore,” the old master of the Shangguan family lanted.

Then the old master glanced up and his face lit up with joy, “My granddaughter has co back.”

“Grandpa,” Shangguan Hong said affectionately, squatting beside old Mr.

Shangguan.

“You’ve co to see Grandpa again?”

“Yes, Grandpa, you’ve always been the best to , so of course I co to see you often.”

“Hehe, you’ve grown up,” old Mr.

Shangguan stroked Shangguan Hong’s long hair, full of affection.

“Grandpa, this ti I’ve brought a friend.

His dical skills are very good, and he might be able to cure your illness,” Shangguan Hong said.

“Oh?

Is it this young man?” old Mr.

Shangguan scrutinized Ye Qiu from head to toe before asking, “Do you play Go?”

“A little,” Ye Qiu said with a smile, nodding.

“Grandpa, I would like him to examine you, not to play Go with you,” Shangguan Hong interjected, not wanting to waste ti and hoping Ye Qiu could start treating her grandfather sooner.

“No hurry, no hurry,” the old master waved his hands and said to Ye Qiu, “You and I will play a ga first, then I’ll decide whether to have the check-up or not!”

“…”

“How much does this old master love Go!” Ye Qiu inwardly shook his head in embarrassnt.
