At this moment, the atmosphere in the hospital room was tense, and the doctor quickly pulled the woman out: "MaРІР‚в„ўam, please come to the office with me. I need to discuss your motherРІР‚в„ўs condition with you."
The woman glared at Ye Chen and left the room impatiently.
After she left, Grandma Zhang said helplessly, "Little Chen, my daughter is just like that. DonРІР‚в„ўt take her words to heart."
"DonРІР‚в„ўt worry, Grandma Zhang, IРІР‚в„ўm fine. Since your daughter is here, IРІР‚в„ўll head off now and come back to see you later," Ye Chen said with a smile.
Hearing that Ye Chen was leaving, the old lady showed a reluctant expression in her eyes.
"Alright, take your time on the road."
After leaving the hospital, Ye Chen decided to visit his parents.
Just now he was criticizing the old ladyРІР‚в„ўs daughter for being negligent, but he realized that he himself was just as guilty, having not visited his parents for some time.
Ye Chen hailed a taxi and headed towards his parentsРІР‚в„ў home.
The car stopped at the entrance, and Ye Chen walked towards the villa.
As he entered the yard, he saw his busy father watering the vegetables and fruit trees he had planted.
Ye Chen knew that his father was keeping himself busy to stave off loneliness.
"Dad."
Hearing his sonРІР‚в„ўs voice, Father Ye quickly looked up and asked, "Little Chen, what brings you back?"
"I missed you and mom, so I came back to see you," Ye Chen said, his eyes slightly red.
"YouРІР‚в„ўre busy enough already, donРІР‚в„ўt worry about us. We are doing just fine," Father Ye replied with a smile.
"IРІР‚в„ўve finished all my work, donРІР‚в„ўt worry. Let me water the plants for you."
Father Ye quickly said, "No need, go inside and see your mom."
Ye Chen, carrying the fruits and supplements he bought for his parents, walked inside the house with his father.
Upon seeing her son return, Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "Little Chen, youРІР‚в„ўre back."
"Mom, Dad, these are fruits and supplements I bought for you. Please do eat them."
Seeing the bags of goods her son carried, Mrs. Ye said with a hint of reproach, "You havenРІР‚в„ўt finished what you bought last time, stop wasting money. Your dad and I donРІР‚в„ўt eat much."
Although she said this, in her heart, she was actually very happy. It wasnРІР‚в„ўt about how much Ye Chen spent, but his thoughtfulness in always thinking of his parents.
"Wife, arenРІР‚в„ўt you going to buy groceries? Make something Little Chen loves; itРІР‚в„ўs not often he comes home," Father Ye reminded.
"Mom, Dad, letРІР‚в„ўs just eat out at a restaurant."
"Restaurant food canРІР‚в„ўt compare to your momРІР‚в„ўs cooking," Mrs. Ye retorted.
With his parentsРІР‚в„ў insistence, Ye Chen had to comply.
After Mrs. Ye poured Ye Chen a glass of water, she went out to buy groceries.
Ye Chen stayed and played Go with his father, which was his fatherРІР‚в„ўs favorite pastime.
Since childhood, Father Ye had taught Ye Chen Go, explaining that life was much like playing the game: you couldnРІР‚в„ўt regret your moves and one wrong step could lead to losing everything.
Given his fatherРІР‚в„ўs age and slower mental agility, Ye Chen deliberately lost a few games to make his father happy.
Mrs. Ye prepared a table full of dishes that her son loved, and Father Ye was in a good mood today, even suggesting a little drink.
Since he didnРІР‚в„ўt need to drive that evening, Ye Chen joined his father for a few drinks, and they chatted happily.
Mrs. Ye put a piece of rib on Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs plate and then said, "Little Chen, your father and I have been thinking. We want to move back to the City. We donРІР‚в„ўt know anyone here, and itРІР‚в„ўs wasteful for the two of us to live in such a big house."
"Mom, Dad, you should stay here. YouРІР‚в„ўve worked hard most of your lives; now is the time to enjoy some peace," Ye Chen advised.
"YouРІР‚в„ўre working hard enough by yourself. We canРІР‚в„ўt help much and always worry that we distract you," Father Ye quickly added.
Ye Chen smiled and comforted his parents, "No need to worry about me. If you really miss the relatives back home, I can drive you back for a visit sometime."
Seeing their sonРІР‚в„ўs persistence, Father Ye and Mrs. Ye couldnРІР‚в„ўt insist any further.
After dinner, Ye Chen didnРІР‚в„ўt hurry back home. He helped with tidying up and stayed to chat with his parents.
Looking at the clock, it was already 8 PM. Mrs. Ye worriedly said, "Little Chen, youРІР‚в„ўd better head home. If it gets too late, we wonРІР‚в„ўt feel at ease."
"IРІР‚в„ўm not leaving tonight. IРІР‚в„ўll stay here."
Ye Chen thought about how rare it was for him to visit, so he decided to spend more time with them.
He understood well that his parents didnРІР‚в„ўt really want him to leave.
Hearing her sonРІР‚в„ўs words, Mrs. YeРІР‚в„ўs face lit up with excitement, "Alright, IРІР‚в„ўll go get your room ready now."
"No need, Mom, I can do it myself."
"Why donРІР‚в„ўt you play a few more games of Go with your dad? It seems youРІР‚в„ўve reignited his interest today."
After saying this, Mrs. Ye went upstairs to prepare the room, while Ye Chen continued to play Go with his father.
By 10 PM, Father Ye was starting to feel the strain and decided to go to bed.
This time, Ye Chen noticed his parents seemed much older, even though they lived comfortably. After all, age was catching up, and their energy wasnРІР‚в„ўt what it used to be.
Seeing his parents like this pained Ye Chen, and he resolved to make more time in the future to visit and spend time with them.
The next day, Ye Chen arrived at the delivery point. Since there were no large packages today, he decided to drive the Cullinan.
Most importantly, Ye Chen planned to discuss the issue of building new buildings in the old City area with the real estate company today.
Driving to the entrance of a neighborhood, Ye Chen saw a woman educating her son.
She pointed at the security guard and said, "See? If you donРІР‚в„ўt study hard, youРІР‚в„ўll end up like this security guard, standing outside in the sun and wind, guarding the gates with no prospects."
Hearing the woman repeatedly use him as an example for her son, the security guard standing at the gate felt frustrated. "WhatРІР‚в„ўs wrong with being a security guard? ItРІР‚в„ўs not like I owe your family any money."
Seeing the car Ye Chen was driving, the boyРІР‚в„ўs eyes lit up and he said, "Mom, that car is so cool."
"Yes, you see, heРІР‚в„ўs someone capable, and you know that car is incredibly expensive," the woman said, pointing to Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs car.
"Mom, is that car more expensive than our Mercedes?" the boy asked, blinking his eyes.
"Of course, itРІР‚в„ўs a multimillion-dollar car. If we sold our villa, it might barely cover half. Even if this security guard worked his whole life, he couldnРІР‚в„ўt afford it," the woman said, using the security guard as a negative example again.
The security guard felt a pang of frustration, wondering what he did to provoke this woman, becoming an example in her reprimands.
Initially, the security guard thought his job was decent, but being disparaged like this by the woman left him helpless.
Seeing the Cullinan car, Ye Chen quickly opened the door.
The woman said to her son, "If you study hard now, you can become someone who drives a luxury car like this in the future."
Ye Chen did not enter, but instead got out of the car. Just now he had heard the womanРІР‚в„ўs words taunting the security guard, and he was angered, wanting to teach this snobbish woman a lesson.
"MaРІР‚в„ўam, what did this security guard do to provoke you, that you keep taunting him?" Ye Chen said coldly.
