Ye Tian tossed the Buddha amulet into the trash can and chuckled, "Mr. Zhou, your daughter is fine now. Have her rest well. Oh, and change her room. This one shouldn't be occupied for now."
Zhou Jianrong repeatedly agreed, saying, "I'm truly grateful, Mr. Ye! This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it."
He produced an envelope containing a check for five hundred thousand.
Ye Tian tried to refuse, but Zhou Jianrong insisted he take it.
After bidding farewell to Zhou Jianrong and his daughter, their car slowly drove away. Lin Jinsheng said, "Xiao Tian, it's still early. Why don't we go visit my mother?"
Ye Tian replied, "Alright."
Lin Jinsheng sighed softly, "My grandfather is still in good health, so the matter of family business succession will be postponed for a long time. I wonder if my mother will be able to wait until that day."
About forty minutes later, the car arrived at the Lin family's old residence and drove straight in.
The car was Ye Tian's Cullinan. The gatekeeper, not seeing Lin Jinsheng, let them pass.
Upon reaching the parking spot, a Porsche 911 was parked nearby, with a license plate of five sevens. Seeing this car, Lin Jinsheng frowned slightly and said, "It's Ziyi's third uncle. He's back."
Ye Tian asked, "Uncle, has your third brother been away from home for a long time?"
Lin Jinsheng nodded, "Yes, he's doing business outside, with rather unconventional methods. He used to contact me a few years ago, trying to get me to partner with him, but I didn't agree because I found it unreliable."
Lin Jinsheng's third brother, named Lin Yufei, was nine years younger than Lin Jinsheng. He had been doted on by the old lady since childhood. Ten years ago, when he suddenly decided to go into business, the old lady unhesitatingly gave him a hundred million.
In the intervening ten years, Lin Yufei only returned home once during the Chinese New Year. His sudden return this time surprised Lin Jinsheng a little.
The two walked towards the living room. Before they even entered, they could hear a man's voice and the old lady's happy laughter.
Lin Jinsheng stopped abruptly, feeling a pang of sadness. He hadn't been favored by the old lady much since childhood, and after he got married, he was even more disliked. His mother had never laughed so happily in front of him, her own son.
Ye Tian stood still, waiting quietly. He didn't quite understand why parents would be so biased towards their children.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Jinsheng smiled and said, "Xiao Tian, let's go in."
Upon entering the living room, Ye Tian saw the old lady sitting on the sofa, with her eldest son Lin Zhenying, his son Lin Changxin, and daughter Lin Lixue all present.
They were chatting and laughing. When they saw Lin Jinsheng enter, everyone was slightly taken aback. Why was he here?
The smile on the old lady's face vanished, and she asked, "Jinsheng, why have you come?"
Lin Jinsheng smiled and said, "Mom, I heard you weren't feeling well, so I brought Ye Tian along to take a look at you."
He was still carrying some gifts, all of which were tonics, and placed them aside.
Ye Tian also said, "Hello, Grandma."
The old lady's expression darkened. "Ye family boy, who let you come? Have you fulfilled the two conditions I set?"
If she hadn't mentioned it, Ye Tian had almost forgotten. He replied, "Wang Wei is dead. You can consider that I've fulfilled this one."
Everyone was startled. Did Wang Wei's death have anything to do with him?
The old lady's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at Ye Tian with a hint of apprehension.
Ye Tian said calmly, "Although his death has nothing to do with me, it has achieved the desired effect."
The old lady asked, "And the other condition?"
Ye Tian replied, "The bridge and highway project. I remember."
Lu Chuanxin had mentioned this matter. This section of the highway had already been contracted by someone, making it difficult to acquire. However, he could coordinate and secure another section of the highway, with a total mileage more than double that of the Haicheng section.
"What's the use of you remembering it if you haven't accomplished it?" Lin Zhenying said sternly.
Ye Tian stated, "Although I didn't secure this section in Haicheng, I helped the Lin family negotiate another section, totaling two hundred and forty kilometers, with a total investment of twenty-six billion."
The old lady was astonished. "What? Two hundred and forty kilometers!"
Ye Tian nodded. "I'll initiate the process, and you can sign the contract as soon as possible."
Lin Lixue sneered, "Ye Tian, who do you think you are? A project worth twenty billion, you think you can just get it done?"
Ye Tian calmly asked, "Do you think I'm lying?"
Lin Lixue sneered, "I don't believe it anyway!"
