Chapter 623 - 623: Who Is She to Rong Qi?
Ye Nanshen, observing from the upstairs railing, intervened sharply. “If she’s sick, call an ambulance. Rong Qi isn’t a doctor.”
Fan Hui, understanding the undercurrents of the situation, quickly agreed. “I’ll see to it. Madam, you should rest.”
Rong Qi nodded, her intuition telling her that this was just the beginning.
That evening, the drama escalated. Mrs. Ye Sr. and Madam Liu put on a show of ailment and distress, though the family doctor found nothing wrong.
Ye Nanshen, uninterested in their theatrics, was about to leave with Rong Qi when Ye Shaochen stepped in, his gaze fixed unsettlingly on Rong Qi.
Before Ye Nanshen could react, Madam Su intervened, “Ye Rong needs his medicine now. Rong Qi, do you have time? I’d like you to come with me to check on him.”
Clearly trying to diffuse the situation, Rong Qi quickly accepted her offer, “Good, I need a walk to digest.”
However, as they were about to step away, Mrs. Ye Sr. suddenly cried out as if she were about to die the next second. Holding her forehead in apparent agony, she groaned, “Oh, my head hurts so much! I feel so weak. What’s happening to me?”
Madam Liu hurriedly said, “Mother, you must be sick. Isn’t Rong Qi skilled in medicine? Rong Qi, please come and check on her!”
“Who is she to Rong Qi?” Ye Nanshen turned around, his thin lips parting slightly, his expression icy.
Madam Liu, intimidated by Ye Nanshen’s demeanor, still pressed on, “But no matter what, she’s still a senior, nominally your grandmother. Rong Qi can’t just let her die, right?”
“Let her die? She has to be dying for that. So, is she dying?” Ye Nanshen asked. He had never intended to be polite to them. His words were so harsh they could cause heartache.
Mrs. Ye Sr., who had been pretending to be in pain, was so angered by Ye Nanshen’s words that she opened her eyes.
Ye Shaochen disapproved of Ye Nanshen’s remarks, “Nanshen, don’t talk nonsense. Mom and Grandma only happened to see Rong Qi here and asked casually, right?”
Trying to persuade Ye Nanshen, Ye Shaochen turned to Rong Qi.
Rong Qi replied, “I listen to my husband.”
Ye Shaochen clenched his fists, taking a deep breath. He thought, ‘Can’t she have a bit of principle?’
Mrs. Ye Sr. glared at Rong Qi and Ye Nanshen, “You’re willing to help Ye Rong but not even look at me? Is that so hard?”
“Enough! What’s all this noise about?” Old Master Ye, who had been silent, frowned and spoke sternly, “If you’re sick, go to the hospital. Rong Qi is Nanshen’s wife, not the Ye family’s personal doctor. But since it’s late, Rong Qi, please check on her. Tomorrow I’ll arrange for someone to take her to the hospital.”
Old Master Ye’s words were almost final. After he spoke, no one else said anything.
Ye Nanshen looked back at Old Master Ye, his eyes narrowing, clearly displeased.
Old Master Ye looked at Ye Nanshen and said, “I went to see Ye Rong today. He’s improving. Since all four of you are here, it’s time to re-divide the Ye family’s shares among you. Take them and do as you please.”
After saying that, Old Master Ye got up and went upstairs to his study because he didn’t want to be caught in Ye Nanshen’s fury.
‘Re-dividing the shares?!’ Ye Shaochen thought. His hand clenched tightly, his aura suddenly turning cold and harsh..
