"Young man, although you were invited by my granddaughter to treat me, I have made my stance clear. I detest being deceived the most. Therefore, I am giving you another chance. Leave now, and I will let bygones be bygones. If I discover you are merely seeking fame and fortune by using my granddaughter to swindle me, I will not spare you!"
Despite his old age and illness, Elder Ye's demeanor became stern, exuding an aura of authority that commanded respect. His gaze upon Du Fei carried a subtle pressure.
An ordinary person would likely have turned pale and lost their composure under such scrutiny.
"Grandpa, Du Fei..."
Hearing her grandfather practically accuse Du Fei of being a fraud, Ye Huijuan stepped forward to defend him.
However, Elder Ye glanced at her, and Ye Jianming immediately reached out to restrain his daughter.
Du Fei glanced at Ye Huijuan, signaling her to remain calm.
Then, he met Elder Ye's gaze directly and said calmly, "Others might treat you for your money, but I am here solely because of Sister Huijuan. If she hadn't asked, I wouldn't have bothered to come, even if you begged me."
As Du Fei finished speaking, a murmur swept through the Ye family villa.
"What the hell."
"This guy is too arrogant, talking to Elder Ye like that?"
While the Ye family was considered a third-tier family in the capital, Elder Ye held the same status as the mayor of any city.
Now, a young man in his twenties claiming he wouldn't come even if Elder Ye begged him was utterly presumptuous.
"Third brother, this miracle doctor your daughter invited is certainly unique. I'm starting to wonder if you invited him to treat Father or to anger him. What are your intentions?"
Ye Jiande walked over to Elder Ye's side and accused Ye Jianming's family.
Ye Jianming also began to regret agreeing to let his daughter invite this young man.
Now, if the treatment failed, he could have found an excuse to smooth things over.
But with the young man speaking so presumptuously and offending Elder Ye, how would they salvage the situation?
Ye Jianming paid little attention to Ye Jiande's words, but Elder Ye's breathing had already become somewhat heavy. He knew the old man was truly angered.
"Father, this is Mr. Smith Hansen."
At this moment, Ye Jiancheng walked forward with a foreigner he had brought along.
Seeing the foreigner beside Ye Jiancheng and the large suitcase he was carrying, Elder Ye showed a hint of curiosity.
"Mr. Smith Hansen is an expert from a top biological research laboratory in Prussia. Their lab has recently developed a serum that can be of great help to your illness, Father."
As Ye Jiancheng finished speaking, Ye Jiande felt as if his head had been struck by a heavy club.
When Elder Ye first fell ill, Ye Jiande had also frequently sought out famous doctors and experts to treat him.
However, after several unsuccessful attempts and being reprimanded by Elder Ye, Ye Jiande had given up.
He assumed his elder brother, Ye Jiancheng, had also given up long ago.
It turned out that Ye Jiancheng had secretly invited experts from overseas laboratories to treat Elder Ye. This man's scheming was truly profound.
Just listen to the title: Prussia's top biological research laboratory. That alone was enough to make a significant impression.
Everyone in the Ye family villa, except for Du Fei, stared at Smith Hansen with surprise.
Even Elder Ye's eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope.
After all, possessing assets worth billions and enjoying a life of wealth and luxury, being alive was the best outcome.
"So, a biological expert from Prussia. Jiancheng, quickly have someone get Mr. Smith some tea. Come, come, sit and chat."
After recovering his composure, Elder Ye's expression became extremely warm, and his tone conveyed happiness.
As for Du Fei, he was completely overlooked.
Seeing this, Ye Huijuan felt a pang of guilt.
Du Fei had agreed to her request immediately upon receiving her call.
Yet, after bringing him here, he had been met with mockery and distrust. Now, with her uncle inviting some Prussian biological expert, Du Fei was completely ignored by Elder Ye.
For a fleeting moment, Ye Huijuan felt an urge to pull Du Fei and leave.
However, in the end, she gritted her teeth and held back.
Meanwhile, seeing the delighted expression on Elder Ye's face,
even Ye Jiancheng, who was always cunning and sophisticated in his dealings, couldn't help but curve his lips slightly, his pride evident.
Then, he caught Ye Jiande's pushing and shoving out of the corner of his eye, almost making him laugh out loud.
Ye Jiande had always been in contention with him, relying on his wife's family.
Recently, his mother-in-law's status had visibly risen after his eldest wife's death, making him even more overconfident at the company.
But he seemed to have forgotten that no matter how powerful his wife's family was, his wife was ultimately an illegitimate daughter. No matter how favored his mother-in-law was, the old fuddy-duddies of the Li family, a second-tier family in the capital, would never allow the family head to legitimize a woman from a humble background.
Moreover, the Ye Group was always the Ye family's asset. Even with the Li family's influence, could they possibly barge into the company and dictate terms?
If this Smith Hansen he brought could keep Elder Ye alive for a while longer, even just a few months, his efforts would not have been in vain.
At that time, everything belonging to the Ye family would fall into his hands.
"Mr. Smith, my son just mentioned that the serum from your laboratory can help with my illness. Is that true? You must understand that I have consulted countless renowned doctors and experts before, but they were all helpless against my condition."
Elder Ye looked at Smith, seated beside him, with evident nervousness.
After all, the serum in Smith's hands held the potential to save his life, so it was natural for him to be anxious. Even with all his wealth, Elder Ye could not face death with indifference.
"Heh heh, if I may be so bold, the Chinese doctors you consulted before were all a bunch of imbeciles!"
As Smith Hansen spoke, the expressions of everyone present, including Elder Ye, changed.
With his first words, he declared all Chinese doctors to be imbeciles.
Even though the Ye family and the others in the villa were not doctors, as fellow Chinese, their faces naturally soured at Smith Hansen's remark.
However, out of respect for Elder Ye, who was treating Smith Hansen as a distinguished guest, everyone refrained from saying anything.
"The serum our laboratory has just developed has extremely powerful effects. It can revitalize and invigorate the cells within the human body. Regardless of your illness, injecting this serum can significantly slow its progression. I can even exaggerate and say that even someone with terminal cancer can extend their life by one or two years!"
Smith Hansen's words caused Elder Ye and the others to instantly forget his earlier disrespect towards China.
