CHAPTER 141: CHAPTER 141: THE YOUNG MASTER IS DYING

Ye Ningwan saw the injury on Wu Wei’s face and knew it was caused by going to find Zhan Hanjue. She also thought he’d been beaten by Zhan Hanjue.

She couldn’t help but smile bitterly.

Indeed, he must hate her very much, so he’s also ruthless towards her friends.

But if he hates her so much, why was he so good to her before?

Could it be that he wanted her to fall for him, only to abandon her cruelly?

To taste the flavor of heartache?

Maybe that’s what he intended.

But I have to say, he succeeded. Now her heart really hurts!

"Ningning, what are your plans after this?" Wu Taotao asked dejectedly.

Ye Ningwan’s phone buzzed. She picked it up and glanced at it, smiling bitterly: "I should leave Jiangcheng and go to Tong City."

If she hadn’t met Zhan Hanjue, she might have already gone to Tong City to do what she needed to do.

Now, since they are urging, she should leave as well.

Ye Ningwan had Wu Wei quickly book tickets to Tong City, then went to the hospital to handle Ye Shao’s discharge procedures.

Ye Shao’s illness had almost completely healed, so he could be discharged.

"Sis, where are we going?" Ye Shao asked curiously after getting in the taxi.

Ye Ningwan said, "I’m taking you to Tong City, there’s something to handle. Besides, we need to investigate your lineage."

"My lineage?" Ye Shao frowned.

Ye Ningwan said, "You and I are blood-related. We are siblings, but only share one-eighth of our bloodline. So I think you must be a relative from mother’s side. The grandmother who adopted me also adopted my mother. Before she passed away, she asked me to help find out about mother’s lineage. She said it’s mother’s last wish and hopes I can fulfill it for her."

"You’re leaving, what about Zhan Hanjue?" Ye Shao asked.

Ye Ningwan fell silent.

After a while, she murmured, "There will be no Zhan Hanjue from now on, only us siblings relying on each other."

"Sis, don’t worry, I’ll take good care of you." Ye Shao held onto Ye Ningwan’s hand.

They left in the afternoon, and Wu Wei went with them.

Zhan Hanjue received the news after they had already left.

Wu told Zhan Hanjue about it.

Zhan Hanjue’s face turned blue with anger, and he heavily threw the framed photo of Ye Ningwan from the table.

Indeed, she’s ruthless enough.

She left without even a word.

Three months later, Tong City.

"Divine Doctor Bai Zhi, please open the door. Our young master is in critical condition."

The door of Qingli Garden was almost beaten down. Ye Ningwan leisurely went over and opened it.

The old butler burst into tears when he saw Ye Ningwan: "Divine Doctor Bai Zhi, please hurry over! If you don’t, our young master won’t make it."

"If he can’t make it, prepare a coffin. I don’t conduct last rites," Ye Ningwan replied leisurely.

The old butler felt a sting in his heart.

Thinking, despite the veil, it’s evident this beautiful young lady wouldn’t say such cruel words, would she?

"Divine Doctor Bai Zhi, please don’t joke. Your treatment over many years has finally seen improvement. If he really passes, won’t it ruin your reputation? You wouldn’t want that."

"These words must have been taught to you by Xie Mingyu! He still has the energy to think like this, looks like he’s not dying anytime soon."

"Oh, my ancestor, please go quickly!" The old butler almost wanted to kneel before Ye Ningwan.

Ye Ningwan, seeing his constant pleading, sighed and had to nod in agreement.

Xie Mingyu, that kid, is truly lucky. Born with a short life span, yet managed to survive till now, still lively.

"Sis, are you going for a consultation?"

Ye Shao, who was also at home, saw her leaving with a medical kit and quickly got up to help her.

Ye Ningwan said, "I’m going to the Xie Family. You study well at home. I’ve spent so much money to hire a personalized tutor for you, make an effort. This year’s college entrance exam, try to pass at least. If you don’t attend university at a young age, what can you do in society later? Do you plan to rely on others for life?"

Ye Shao smiled wryly.

Pass the exam and it’s enough?

His sister really doesn’t have high demands on him.

"Okay, I’ll try my best. You should go early and return early. What do you want to eat? I’ll make it tonight."

"We’ll see then! Not sure if I’ll be back to eat, just focus on your studies. If you don’t want to cook, order takeout. Cooking is troublesome and time-consuming."

Ye Ningwan absolutely wouldn’t waste time cooking, she’d rather lie down for a nap.

"Hmm."

Ye Shao nodded, watching her leave.

Ye Ningwan went out, and the old butler had already opened the car door for her to sit in.

The car quickly arrived at the old Xie Family residence.

The Xie Family is a prestigious family in Tong City, said to have a history of over a hundred years, starting as business people since the Qing Dynasty.

The descendants ventured into business and politics, continuing to this day.

No one knows exactly how wealthy and influential the Xie Family is.

It’s like the Jia Family from Dream of the Red Chamber, with boiling oil.

While Xie Mingyu holds a position similar to that of Jia Baoyu.

Everyone in the Xie Family spoils him.

"Divine Doctor Bai Zhi, you’re finally here. Mingyu refuses to eat until he sees you, I’m so worried."

Old Sir Xie personally greeted her at the door.

Seeing the car approaching and Ye Ningwan getting out, he quickly went forward to speak to her.

Ye Ningwan saw that he was quite old, still worried for his young grandson, which was indeed pitiful.

"Old Sir Xie, no need to worry too much, I’ll go and have a look."

Ye Ningwan gently comforted him.

Old Sir Xie nodded, already over seventy but swiftly leading Ye Ningwan inside.

Clearly, he could barely walk with a cane before, but when it comes to his grandson, he moved faster than the young ones.

The old Xie Family residence still retains its former layout, having been renovated several times, exudes rich ancient charm, just like the Zhan Family.

Xie Mingyu’s courtyard is the most serene and splendid part of the old Xie Family residence. As soon as you enter, you can smell a faint aroma of herbs.

The courtyard is large, filled with all sorts of Chinese herbs.

If seen suddenly, one might think it’s an herb field.

Actually, this courtyard wasn’t like this before, it was filled with various flowers, resembling a garden.

The first time Ye Ningwan came and saw these flowers, she frowned and immediately had them removed, planting some herbs beneficial for mental clarity and health.

"His body is already weak, and you’re planting these flowers, planning for an early death? No wonder he’s been untreated for over a decade."

While servants cleared the flowers, Xie Mingyu was furious.

He burst out angrily, pointing at Ye Ningwan’s nose, yelling.

But upon seeing her eyes, he froze.

His ears turned red, and soon, his whole face turned crimson.

"No...Old lady, how come...you’re a young girl?"

Even though Ye Ningwan wore a veil, obscuring her full appearance.

Her body was shapely, tall and graceful. Her bright eyes shone, her hair a glossy black.

With such demeanor, she clearly wasn’t an elderly woman.

Xie Mingyu blushed.
