CHAPTER 88: CHAPTER 88: HAVING A NASTY MOUTH IS ALSO A PROBLEM

Mr. Ye took the traditional medicine given by Divine Doctor Bai Zhi for three days. It’s often said that traditional medicine works slowly, but he clearly felt the effects. On the second day of taking the medicine, his chest wasn’t as tight, and his voice wasn’t as hoarse.

After three days, his body felt much lighter, and he seemed ten years younger.

He couldn’t help being extremely excited.

However, to ensure it was truly effective, he specifically went to the hospital to get checked and asked the Western doctors to examine him.

The doctor looked at the scans he brought; the cancer cells had indeed reduced, but they hadn’t completely disappeared.

Listening to his recent physical condition, the doctor couldn’t figure out the reason and could only say, "There is indeed some improvement, which is a good sign. This phenomenon is something I’ve never seen before. I’m curious about what medicine you’ve used?"

Mr. Ye naturally wouldn’t tell him what medicine he used.

He genuinely believed it when they said his condition had improved.

After finishing the three-day medicine, he was ready to go to Divine Doctor Bai Zhi again to continue getting prescriptions.

However, before going to the Zhan Family, Mrs. Leng suddenly visited.

Mr. Ye frowned upon hearing she was here and wanted to meet him.

"Why is she here? We have never had any dealings with the Leng Family."

Ye Henghui also said, "I find it strange too; why would she suddenly visit? However, given she is Mrs. Leng with close ties to the Zhan Family, it’s not good to refuse to see her."

"Of course, we should see her. Let her in!" Mr. Ye said.

Ye Henghui nodded and invited Mrs. Leng in.

After Mrs. Leng came in, she insisted on talking alone with Mr. Ye, so she sent Ye Henghui away.

No one knew what they talked about.

In any case, Mrs. Leng looked refreshed when she left.

Mr. Ye was also in good spirits.

He asked someone to tidy up and went to visit the Zhan Family again.

However, this time, Ye Ningwan refused to let him easily meet Divine Doctor Bai Zhi.

"You should already know your condition has improved. According to our agreement, you need to return my parents’ ashes first before I can continue asking the Divine Doctor to treat you," Ye Ningwan said.

Mr. Ye replied, "I said that once my illness is cured, I’ll return their ashes to you."

"But you don’t trust me, and I don’t trust you," Ye Ningwan said. "If your illness is cured, but you refuse to return my parents’ ashes, what will we do then?"

"What do you want?" Mr. Ye asked with a stern face.

Ye Ningwan said, "Of course, you should return their ashes now. Your illness has already improved; heaven has the virtue of letting life prosper. After all, you are my grandfather, my father’s father. If you can be healed, I won’t sever your lifeline. Besides, the Zhan Family is already cooperating with the Ye Family, resolving Ye Family’s financial crisis, right? With so many benefits, you can’t possibly offer no reciprocation at all."

Mr. Ye thought about it and agreed with this reasoning.

He was afraid that if he kept withholding them, it would truly anger Ye Ningwan, which would be unwise.

So, he agreed to hand them over.

Ye Ningwan added, "You’d better give me the real ashes, don’t try to deceive me with fake ones. You ought to know, with modern technology, even ashes can be DNA tested."

"Rest assured, I won’t deceive you with fake ones," Mr. Ye said.

Ye Ningwan waited for him to bring the ashes back, and only then did she allow the "Divine Doctor Bai Zhi" to meet him.

This time, she still gave him some medicine to continue taking.

But she couldn’t guarantee complete eradication.

However, Mr. Ye didn’t care about that much; he only knew he felt comfortable now, not as uncomfortable as before.

Even if it couldn’t be completely eradicated, if it could allow him to live a little longer, he was willing.

When the ashes were returned, Ye Ningwan saw them and immediately had tears in her eyes.

"There’s no need for you to check; the ashes are sealed. I can swear by the Ye Family that the ashes are genuine, and I absolutely didn’t use fake ones to deceive you," Mr. Ye said.

"Alright, I’ll believe you for now," Ye Ningwan said.

After seeing Mr. Ye off, she immediately sought out Chen Tan to inquire about DNA testing.

Chen Tan frowned and said, "I’ll need to ask around on this matter, as there hasn’t been any precedent for DNA testing with ashes. But, it’s not absolute; I’ll find someone to try it."

"Thank you for your trouble," Ye Ningwan expressed gratitude.

Gazing at her parents’ urn, Ye Ningwan’s eyes welled up with tears.

She temporarily placed her parents’ urn in the medicine room.

Just as she was preparing to kneel down and perform the rites, Zhan Hanjue arrived.

Without saying a word, Zhan Hanjue held her hand and knelt down together, performing the grand gesture.

After finishing the ceremony, Ye Ningwan quietly muttered, "Why did you also perform the rites?"

"After all, they are my in-laws, so I should perform the rites," Zhan Hanjue heard her mutter.

Ye Ningwan raised her head to seriously look at him, "Zhan Hanjue, do you truly plan to spend the rest of your life with me? I mean, like ordinary couples, without schemes or calculations, for a lifetime."

Zhan Hanjue asked back, "Why, do you want to back out?"

Ye Ningwan said, "Honestly, from the start, I never planned to marry you. Just as I told you before, the reason I agreed to marry was not because of the Ye Family’s control but to uncover the truth behind my parents’ death. But now that the truth is clear and I’ve avenged my parents, it seems I have no reason to stay."

"Do you want to leave?" Zhan Hanjue was stunned and immediately grabbed her arm.

Ye Ningwan calmly said, "Initially, I was planning to leave, but I’ve changed my mind now. However, whether I stay or go depends on you."

"I will not let you leave. Ye Ningwan, since you have married me, we are now husband and wife. Therefore, I won’t allow you to leave," Zhan Hanjue said with a firm tone.

He then lowered his head and sealed her lips fiercely.

Ye Ningwan closed her eyes, slightly curled her lips into a smile.

Alright, then I won’t leave.

*********

"Ningwan, you haven’t been to school for several days."

Ye Ningwan went to school, and Jin Yingzi saw her and quickly came over to greet her.

"Yes, I wasn’t feeling well, so I didn’t come." Ye Ningwan casually found an excuse.

These days, she’s been busy with matters concerning Mr. Ye and hadn’t come to school.

She hadn’t expected anyone to actually miss her.

"I thought it was because of the previous incident that you didn’t come," Jin Yingzi said.

Ye Ningwan laughed and said, "That little matter before, I didn’t take it to heart. Yingzi, thank you for caring about me."

"No problem." Jin Yingzi shook her head.

At this point, someone else came in, so Jin Yingzi returned to her place.

Huang Yunmeng quickly came in too. Upon seeing Ye Ningwan, she paused for a moment and, with a cold snort, said sarcastically, "Some people really have thick skin, doing such shameless things yet still having the face to come to school."

"Huang, did you know that a sharp tongue is also a kind of sickness?" Ye Ningwan smiled as she looked at her.

Huang Yunmeng didn’t expect her to insult her and turned pale with anger, raising her hand to hit her.
