"Exactly, Uncle Two is right. Even Old Master Jin couldn't cure Grandpa's illness. How can you, Uncle Three, say someone can? Are you kidding me?"
The speaker was Ye Jiayu, Ye Jiancheng's son, who was currently the deputy head of the finance department at the Ye Group.
Despite calling the person "Uncle Three," Ye Jiayu's tone lacked any hint of respect. His eyes, like Ye Jiande's earlier, were full of disdain.
In his opinion, his Uncle Three had no power, no influence, and was quite useless. Why should he show him any respect?
For someone like Ye Jiayu, who grew up surrounded by fame, fortune, and power, only money and authority commanded reverence.
"Brother Yu, that's not right. Perhaps Sister Juan really met some reclusive divine physician during her years away from home. Otherwise, why would she want to bring that person to treat Grandpa as soon as she returned?"
As soon as Ye Jiayu finished speaking, someone else chimed in.
The speaker was a girl, appearing to be no older than twenty-five or twenty-six. She was dressed very fashionably, wearing international designer brands.
This girl was Ye Zhenzhen, the daughter of the second elder, Ye Jiande.
The reason Ye Zhenzhen was slightly younger than Ye Huijuan was not only because Ye Jianming and his wife married early, but also because Ye Jiande's wife had health issues and struggled to conceive for a long time.
Because Ye Zhenzhen was the daughter her parents had finally conceived after much effort, she had been doted on from childhood.
To put it simply, she was treated like a precious gem, feared to be dropped if held and to melt if held in the mouth.
Growing up in such a pampered environment had turned Ye Zhenzhen into a spoiled young lady with a bad temper and a cruel personality.
"Uncle One, Uncle Two, I know you both don't quite believe what I'm saying. Honestly, before meeting this doctor with excellent medical skills, I didn't believe it either. But as Uncle Two just said, everyone knows Grandpa's condition. Even if the doctor I invited can't cure Grandpa, it's just an attempt, at worst."
"And I also know that you all think I've returned to curry favor with Grandpa and fight for the family inheritance."
"I, Ye Huijuan, swear here, if I have even a shred of such intentions, may lightning strike me dead!"
In fact, Ye Huijuan had already been questioned by her parents in Grandpa's bedroom about what she had said.
However, her parents' doubts were not as direct as those of her Uncle One and Uncle Two.
But looking at her frail and aged grandfather on the sickbed, Ye Huijuan genuinely wanted to contribute her small part.
Moreover, Ye Huijuan was confident in her proposal.
It was precisely because of this that even though everyone in the room was questioning and accusing them, Ye Huijuan still insisted on expressing her thoughts.
Su Hao, who had been standing beside her, reached out his right hand and tightly clasped Ye Huijuan's hand.
Although the Ye family's words were harsh, Su Hao remained silent. He knew that if he spoke, it would only make the situation more awkward.
However, even without speaking, Su Hao supported his wife in his own way.
When her hand was held, Ye Huijuan instinctively turned to look at Su Hao.
When she saw Su Hao nod at her, his eyes full of encouragement and support, Ye Huijuan was deeply moved.
"Xiao Juan, what do you mean by that? Are you implying we'd rather watch Grandpa die than seek treatment? Third son, immediately take your daughter and get out of here..."
Although Ye Huijuan's words were sincere, Ye Jiancheng, already blinded by greed, didn't feel anything.
Instead, he thought Ye Huijuan's words had hidden meanings, even hinting that they were waiting for the old man to die so they could divide the inheritance.
Even though Ye Jiancheng and the others did have such thoughts, Ye Huijuan's words still made him very unhappy.
Just as Ye Jiancheng was about to lose his temper and drive out the third son's family...
"Shut up!"
However, before Ye Jiancheng could finish speaking, someone loudly stopped him.
"Dad!"
"Dad!"
"Grandpa!"
"Grandpa, why are you down here?"
When everyone turned around, they saw that Old Master Ye, supported by a servant, was trembling down the stairs.
Ye Jiayu and Ye Zhenzhen reacted immediately and went to support him.
But Old Master Ye, who had always doted on them, refused their support.
Then, to their bewildered gazes, the servant helped him to a seat in the middle of the living room.
"Dad, why did you come down? The doctor instructed you to rest more."
As soon as Old Master Ye sat down, Ye Jiancheng walked over, feigning concern.
Old Master Ye let out a cold laugh. "Rest? You probably want more than just me to rest; you want me to be eternally asleep, don't you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Jiancheng immediately said nervously, "Dad! How could I possibly think that? Did that third son say something to you? I knew it. Xiao Juan has been away for so many years, why is she suddenly here? It turns out this was all planned. I..."
*Slap!*
Ye Jiancheng received a resounding slap.
Everyone in the hall was in an uproar.
No one expected that the old man, who had always favored Ye Jiancheng the most, would slap him in front of them.
"I'm not afraid of death, but I still want to live a few more years. So, after considering it, I think Juanzi has a point. Now, call your doctor friend. As long as he truly has the ability, the medical fees will absolutely not be a problem!"
After slapping Ye Jiancheng, Old Master Ye didn't even look at him.
He turned to Ye Huijuan and gave instructions.
If one could live, who wouldn't want to see more of this vibrant world?
Let alone a wealthy man like Old Master Ye, who was worth billions, even ordinary people, no matter how hard their lives were, wanted to live.
The saying "It's better to live a miserable life than to die a good death" came from this.
"Grandpa, don't worry. Since I dared to suggest it to you, the other party's medical skills are definitely not a problem. I'll call him right away."
Earlier, in Grandpa's bedroom upstairs, when she had proposed that she knew a very skilled doctor and wanted him to treat Grandpa, everyone, including her parents and Grandpa, had been somewhat skeptical.
Especially Old Master Ye. He had seen too many doctors over the years, ninety percent of whom wanted to use the opportunity of treating him to gain some advantage or swindle consultation fees.
After all, the Ye family was wealthy, and even a small finger-pointing could earn them a lot of money.
Therefore, for a time, Old Master Ye neither agreed nor refused, only saying he needed to consider it.
Now, hearing that Grandpa had finally agreed, Ye Huijuan's face broke into a smile.
Immediately, she took out her phone and made a call.
