Chapter 31: This old guy is sick

  Long Ling was very unhappy, not only because she couldn't win the fight just now, but also because her younger brother Long Haoran secretly rented out the villa's room to someone else, which made her extremely angry.

  Long Ling is a very independent girl who dislikes noise and naturally doesn't like living with a group of people. If Long Haoran weren't her younger brother, she would have driven him out too.

  It's just a room in the villa, she knew her brother was greedy and spent a lot of money playing games, but if you rent it out, then rent it out, why not even leave an empty room?

  The two bedrooms on the second floor were occupied by Yao Yuxin and Song Xi, each taking one room. The two rooms on the first floor were taken over by Long Haoran and Ye Bai.

  Even if Long Ling thought Song Xi and Yao Yuxin were still somewhat pleasing to the eye, living with two beauties didn't have much of an impact, but where would he live? Was he supposed to sleep in the living room?

  After a moment of contemplation, Long Ling looked at Ye Bai and said, "I'm sorry, I need to ask you to move out immediately."

  "Your younger brother took six months' rent from me," Ye Bai said calmly.

  "The house money can be returned to you, and it can even be doubled." Long Ling insisted.

  If she had to drive one person away, Long Ling could decide without hesitation who to drive away. Firstly, Ye Bai was a man, and secondly, Ye Bai had just hit her.

  "I refuse." Ye Bai said firmly as well.

  He insisted on refusing for the following three reasons: Firstly, he didn't like being bossed around by a little girl, especially one who had hit him before; Secondly, this villa was home to beautiful girls and he couldn't leave easily, he also knew that "near water tower first gets moon" is a principle; Thirdly, Pei Hu'er was still recovering in his room, he knew that once Pei Hu'er entered the recovery state, he couldn't be disturbed... This point was the most important.

  "If you don't leave, I'll call the police." Long Ling threatened.

  "To be honest, I went to the police station three times yesterday." Ye Bai said nonchalantly, "I remember that on my second day here, Long Haoran gave me a rental contract which had a clause stating that if you want to kick me out, you have to notify me at least one month in advance. So, I can still live here for at least another month, and even the police can't do anything about it."

  "You!"

  Long Ling glared at Long Haoran and slapped the living room table, angrily saying: "Then you should at least find me a room to live in?"

  "You can stay in my room." Song Xi suddenly said.

  "What about you?" Long Ling asked.

  "I can stay in the study on the second floor." Song Xi replied.

  Long Ling hesitated for a moment, then said with a helpless and depressed expression: "Forget it, I'll just stay in the study room!"

  The housing problem was temporarily solved.

  Longling no longer insisted on driving Ye Bai away... Firstly, she couldn't drive Ye Bai away, neither by reasoning nor by force; Secondly, she suddenly didn't want Ye Bai to leave, having hit her leg, and the lady would have to find an opportunity for revenge, but if Ye Bai moved out, it wouldn't be advantageous for her revenge.

  Of course, the second point is actually also a self-consolation of Long Ling.

  "Xiao Bai Ge, to celebrate my sister's return, you cook dinner for us." Long Hao Ran saw that the housing problem was solved and naturally felt a lot more relaxed. To ease the atmosphere, he made this suggestion.

  "No way, today it's Song Laoshi's turn to cook." Ye Bai shook his head firmly.

  Watching his younger brother cook for Ye Bai with a look of expectation on his face, Long Ling secretly wondered if this guy's cooking was really that delicious?

  Yu's old mansion is located in the eastern suburbs of Tianjing City, covering an area of hundreds of acres, surrounded by high walls that block the view, making it impossible to see the scenery inside the old courtyard.

  The land in the suburbs was originally very cheap, but with the rapid development of Beijing today, the urban area is constantly expanding. With the large areas of Dongjiao being transformed into high-tech zones, the old house of Yu Jia and its surroundings have long been built into high-rise buildings, leaving only their home still standing, with no one daring to covet this land.

  To put it simply, if the Yu family were to sell this old mansion's land, they could exchange it for tens of billions in assets. However, the Yu family really doesn't care about this amount of money. Moreover, the head of the Yu family, Yu Changde, has a special affection for this place and is currently recuperating here due to illness. Therefore, the Yu family would naturally not sell this place.

  At nine o'clock in the evening, Yu Man entered the old mansion of the Yu family with the accompaniment of the thin old man and came to a small courtyard.

  Just arriving at the gate of this courtyard, you can already smell a strong herbal scent.

  At the gate of the courtyard, there were two strong men guarding it. However, when they saw Yu Man coming over, they all bowed and paid their respects, and opened the gate for Yu Man.

  Only Yu Man can enter the courtyard so easily, others, even if it's Yu Man's father Yu Zhen or that vice provincial governor Yu Qing, have to wait at the entrance for a while before being allowed in by the old master.

  The thin old man did not follow into the yard and stood guard outside the yard with the two big men.

  The young lady has arrived.

  As soon as I entered the courtyard, a nurse in pink uniform waved at Yu Man.

  Her name is Yan Tao, and everyone calls her Little Peach.

  "Xiao Tao, how's old master doing today?" Yu Man asked after nodding.

  "It's not good, I coughed up blood again." Yan Tao replied in a low voice.

  Yu Man's face suddenly turned worried and she asked: "Is Dr. Shen inside?"

  "In that case," replied Yan Tao.

  "Uh-huh."

  Yu Man didn't say anything more to Yan Tao and quickly walked towards the house in front of her.

  "Is it Xiaoman? Come in quickly."

  As soon as she reached the door of the house, Yu Man heard her grandfather's voice, but that voice was obviously very weak.

  She entered the house and turned into a side room, Yu Man's worried expression deepened.

  There were not a few people in the side house, basically all the family members had arrived, including Yu Man's father Yu Zhen, her eldest uncle Yu Qing, and his son Yu Xiao Tian. There was also her second uncle Yu Chang Sheng, as well as Yu Chang Sheng's son Yu Zheng, and Yu Zheng's son Yu Hui. Her grandfather Yu Chang De lay on the sickbed with a pale face, dull eyes, and weak breathing.

  Yu Changsheng is Yu Changde's younger brother, who has been developing in the capital all along and rarely returns to Tianjing City. However, since his elder brother Yu Changde is seriously ill now, he naturally has to come back to visit him.

  Apart from Yu's family members, there was also a female doctor wearing a white coat named Shen Hanyan.

  Shen Hanyi is a famous Chinese medicine doctor, and she is very well-known in Tianjing City. It's said that her master who passed away not long ago was known as the divine doctor who could cure all diseases.

  With a divine doctor as her teacher, Shen Hanyan's medical skills were naturally exceptional. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to keep Old Man Yu, who was already on his last breath, still holding on to life.

  At the age of 26, Shen Hanyan is not only a brilliant doctor but also stunningly beautiful. In Tianjing City, she and Yu Man are both sought after by young masters from high society, yet like Yu Man, she remains focused on her career and is still single.

  Just last night, Shen Hanyan informed the Yu family that Old Man Yu could live for at most half a month, and it was even possible that he would pass away within three to five days. This news shocked the entire Yu Changsheng family in Beijing.

  "Hello, Second Grandfather."

  "Great uncle is well."

  "Third Uncle is well."

  "Dr. Shen is good."

  After Yu Man entered, she naturally greeted the three elders and Shen Hanyan first, then walked to the bedside of Old Master Yu and pulled up the thin quilt.

  "Xiao Man, you've worked hard, cough cough..."

  As soon as Lao Yezi opened his mouth, he couldn't help but start coughing.

  "Grandfather, don't talk for now, just rest well." Yu Man hastily helped Old Master Yu to adjust his breath.

  "Xiao Man, Grandpa knows he won't live for many more days. But with you in charge of the Yu Group, Grandpa can rest easy. It's just that if your brother Yu Bin's injury doesn't heal... Ah-choo..."

  As he spoke, Old Yu started coughing again.

  "Xiao Man, didn't you go ask that thug who beat up your brother today? What did he say?" Yu Zhen knew what his father wanted to ask, so he spoke up.

  Yu Man is good at doing business, but after all, she is a daughter and will eventually get married. Yu Changde and the Yu family are traditional thinkers, and their family's large business will not be given to Yu Man as dowry to be sent to outsiders.

  In other words, no matter how hard Yu Man works for the Yu family now, the family business will eventually fall into the hands of her brother Yu Bin or cousin Yu Xiaotian, and even if it falls into Yu Hui's hands, it is still possible, but it is impossible to give it to her.

  To put it bluntly, Yu Man is now just working for the Yu family.

  However, Yu Xiao Tian is a playboy who is idle and does not understand business, so in the secret will left by Yu Chang De, it was said that after he died, once Yu Man got married one day, the Yu Group would be handed over to Yu Bin.

  "I went to see him, but he refused to agree to take action." Yu Man said with a bitter smile, the other party not only refused to agree, but also didn't put the Yu Group and the Yu family in their eyes.

  "Didn't he make any demands?" asked Yu Lao Da Ye Chang De.

  He paused for a moment and said, "However, I did mention one condition."

  "What conditions?" Da Bo Yu Qing also spoke up.

  "The condition is that I marry him." Yu Man added, "But looking at his appearance, he doesn't seem serious, and it's probably on purpose to make things difficult for the Yu family."

  "Huh?"

  Everyone in the house was shocked, and a few people's faces also became complicated.

  "Has that guy's background been thoroughly investigated?" Old Master Yu asked again.

  "I've looked into it, but there's no lead at all. He seems to have popped out of nowhere, like from a crack in the stone." Yu Qing said with a shake of his head.

  As a deputy provincial-level figure, he couldn't even investigate the background of a young man, which made Yu Qing feel very ashamed.

  "Arrange it for me, I'll go ask him personally tomorrow."

  The old master's words shocked everyone in the house, including Yu Changsheng and Shen Hanyan from Beijing.

  "Absolutely not, your body is not well and it's not suitable for you to go out."

  "That guy is obviously ungrateful, even if you're old it's not necessarily useful."

  Everyone came forward to persuade him.

  "Let's not talk about it anymore." Old Master Yu waved his hand, "If I went and it was no use, then there's no need to go ask him again. But afterwards, you must let him know that not just anyone can bully the Yu family!"

  Tonight, Ye Bai slept very soundly, and Long Ling's sudden return did not bring him any trouble.

  However, after less than an hour of treating his wounds, Ye Bai fell asleep.

  It was also breakfast time when Ye Bai came down from the second floor.

  Looking at Ye Bai's dazed appearance, Long Ling was extremely puzzled, wondering if this kid had slept on the second floor yesterday.

  With suspicion in his heart, Long Ling's gaze swept back and forth between Song Xi and Yao Yu Xin.

  "He was in my room last night." Yao Yuxin explained calmly.

  "Huh?"

  Although Long Hao Ran and Song Xi could have guessed it, they were still somewhat surprised when they heard Yao Yu Xin admit it herself.

  Long Ling was taken aback at first, then a delighted expression spread across his face as he said: "Since you two are already...then there's no need to occupy two rooms, right? You can just live together and I won't have to sleep in the study!"

  "It's wishful thinking." Ye Bai walked to the edge of the dinner table, "I'll just be staying overnight in Yu Xiang sister's room for these few days, once her injury is healed, I'll return to my own room."

  "He was treating my wound, we are not what you think." Yao Yuxin felt it necessary to explain.

  "Will it take just one night to heal the wound?" Long Haochen was clearly very skeptical.

  "What's wrong, won't work?" Ye Bai glared at Long Hao Ran and said.

  "Whatever... whatever, it's fine for a whole night." Long Hao Ran hastily lowered his head and started eating voraciously.

  Ye Bai then went into the first floor's restroom to wash up.

  Long Ling asked Yao Yuxin with a determined look: "You really don't plan on...?"

  Yao Yuxin shook her head and replied, "I'm not his girlfriend, nor am I his sister. Of course, I won't be with him. You can ask Teacher Song, maybe she has such plans."

  Song Xi's face suddenly turned red, and she pinched Yao Yuxin's arm fiercely, saying: "You're the one who had that idea!"

  Ye Bai'er's hearing was incredibly sharp, even with the bathroom door closed, he clearly heard the conversation between the two beauties. After coming out, he said: "Alright, alright, stop pushing each other around, you're both mine, not one of you can escape."

  "Cut!"

  Including Long Ling, the three beauties rolled their eyes at Bai Ye and stopped talking, starting to eat instead.

  Just after finishing breakfast, Ye Bai had just left the house and was preparing to go to Tang Lulu's home for study, but he found that several black sedans came from one side and stopped steadily at the gate of the villa.

  All the car doors opened, and more than 20 bodyguards wearing black suits and sunglasses came out first. Then, the beautiful woman Yu Man who had come to see him yesterday supported an old man and also got out of a stretched limousine.

  Not only did Yu Man come, but her father, Yu Zhēn, also came along. Apart from the father-daughter pair, Eldest Uncle Yu Qìng's son, Yu Xiǎo Tiān, and Paternal Granduncle Yu Zhèng also arrived together.

  Yu Qing is after all a vice provincial governor, not only busy with official duties, but also not suitable for such matters to show up in person.

  As for Yu Changsheng, he had come from afar in the capital city and it wasn't suitable for him to follow along, so having his son Yu Zheng accompany him was enough.

  "Beautiful sister, how did you come again? Have you thought it through and want to be my little sister?" Ye Bai smiled and walked up to greet her.
