Chapter 137: As You Wish, Prince Charming (Second Update, Requesting Votes)
"If it were usual, Fang Yu would definitely refuse, as this woman never regarded him truely.
Looking at her reddened eyes, it was evident how important that great-grandfather in the courtyard was to her.
The Fang Family and the Ye Family were friends for generations. The relationship between the two families had always been good. Perhaps, that was the reason they were able to form a marital alliance.
Fang Yu did not speak, nor did he agree to anything.
He gently shook his head and sighed.
The smile on his face gradually faded, replaced by seriousness and earnestness.
When reaching the door, Fang Yu finally said, "Go in."
Creak—
The door opened.
The person who opened the door was a woman in her fifties, dressed like a housemaid.
"Miss, you, have come? Old Master Ye has been waiting for you for a long time..." the woman exclaimed excitedly.
"Mm."
Ye Wenjun stepped in with a graceful stride.
In the courtyard, many bodyguards stood in rows.
Fang Yu followed closely behind her.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, voices discussing something inside the house could be heard—
"Old Master Ye's illness can't be delayed any longer."
"To speak frankly, that he has held on till now is already a miracle."
"Old Master Ye is over eighty this year; his body, it can't undergo surgery."
…
Hearing these words, Fang Yu's expression was very calm.
Ye Wenjun continued forward and reached the door of Old Master Ye's room. She knew every etiquette—instead of entering the great grandfather's room directly, she first greeted:
"Dr. Li."
Inside, Dr. Li was organizing his medical kit. Seeing Ye Wenjun, he said, "Miss Ye. You've arrived."
"How is my great grandfather?" Ye Wenjun asked softly.
Dr. Li sighed and shook his head incessantly, saying, "This disease has penetrated deep into the bones, a complete cure is almost impossible."
Hearing this, Ye Wenjun's face turned somber.
"May I go in now?" Ye Wenjun asked.
Dr. Li shook his head and said, "I advise you better not go in… these past few days the old master's body is weak, not fit to face the wind."
"Oh." Ye Wenjun was about to turn around.
Fang Yu approached slowly.
He was very gentlemanly and cultured, and asked, "May I know what disease the old master is suffering from?"
Dr. Li looked up, glanced at Fang Yu once, seeing that he was of similar age to Ye Wenjun, he felt puzzled and asked, "Who are you?"
"My surname is Fang, with a single character Yu," Fang Yu replied lightly.
"Oh…" Dr. Li looked at Fang Yu again. In Yanjing, there seemed to be no prominent families with the surname Fang; how come he's with Miss Ye Wenjun? It's known that few other men appear beside Ye Wenjun.
Clearly, this reply from Fang Yu was not what Dr. Li wanted.
"I am sorry, I cannot tell you." Dr. Li's lips curled with a hint of disdain. Given his years of service in the Ye Family, even Ye Wenjun had to consult his opinion; any outsider asking abruptly was out of question.
Fang Yu did not get angry, but turned his head and asked Ye Wenjun:
"Don't you want to see your great grandfather?"
"Hm?"
Fang Yu's gaze remained on the house, he spoke lightly: "If you want to, then leave everything next to me; if you don't want to, then just pretend I never said this, and we can leave now."
Ye Wenjun was taken aback.
A hint of surprise flashed across her delicate face. She felt an air of maturity and experience from Fang Yu.
This made her puzzled.
Could it be… all his previous frivolous acts were just a show?
Ye Wenjun certainly wanted to see her great grandfather… but was it allowed? She didn't know how to respond, so she appeared hesitant.
"Mm, I understand," Fang Yu nodded, ignoring Dr. Li's unusual gaze, and walked towards the house.
Seeing this, Dr. Li was shocked and exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
"Save lives." Fang Yu's voice was very calm.
"You can't go in! If something happens, can you take the responsibility?" Dr. Li grabbed Fang Yu's sleeve.
But with his strength, how could he possibly hold Fang Yu back?
Fang Yu snorted softly, his clothes slipping from Dr. Li's hands as he continued towards the inner room.
"Bastard! Are you seeking death?!" Dr. Li cursed, and then turned back, "Miss Ye, quickly, stop him!"
Ye Wenjun was also startled and hurried after him.
She did not want her great-grandfather to face any issues. She was about to stop Fang Yu when she saw him suddenly stop—
"Prepare a basin of hot water for me."
"Huh?"
Somehow, Fang Yu's tone and demeanor gave her an inexplicable sense of oppression.
This was confidence.
It was the pressure of extreme confidence.
Ye Wenjun quickly followed him.
However, no one prepared any hot water.
Both of them walked quickly.
In an instant, they arrived at the doorway of the inner room.
Ye Wenjun also caught up to Fang Yu.
"Fang Yu...what are you doing?" Ye Wenjun whispered.
Just then, a frail elderly voice came from the room: "Wenjun, is that you?"
Hearing this voice, Ye Wenjun's emotions changed.
She couldn't control herself and ran inside.
"Great-grandfather...it's me, Wenjun, here to see you."
The room was not large, but it was quite elegant and refined.
Ye Wenjun walked up to the bedside, taking her great-grandfather's hand.
On the sickbed, the Ye Family elder's illness was clearly visible on his face.
Fang Yu took a look and slightly frowned.
To get a better look, he stepped closer.
"Bastard! What are you doing? Get out..." Dr. Li rushed over, shouting.
Fang Yu turned around, still speaking calmly, "Elder Ye's illness should be curable."
Hearing this, Dr. Li paused for a moment, then contemptuously said, "Young man, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! Do you know medicine? Do you know what illness Elder Ye has?"
Fang Yu said nothing.
Dr. Li continued, "In Yanjing, if even I, Li Daming, cannot cure it, no one else can!"
At this moment, Fang Yu indifferently turned, glanced at Li Daming, and said: "Elder Ye's illness has not improved...because of incompetent doctors like you delaying him."
These words ignited a raging fire in Li Daming's heart!
"Say that again?"
Seeing that they were about to argue and even fight, Ye Wenjun said extremely unhappily, "Enough!"
The atmosphere instantly froze.
After a brief silence, Elder Ye chuckled, "I am well aware of my illness... Wenjun, who is this young man?" Elder Ye lifted his gaze, glanced slightly, and asked with some curiosity.
Ye Wenjun looked back and then responded, "Great-grandfather...this is your future grandson-in-law."
"Oh?" Elder Ye's eyes gleamed.
His whole demeanor appeared invigorated.
Hearing this, Dr. Li's expression also grew complicated; this arrogant man, was Miss Ye's boyfriend? How could this be possible!
"Young man... come here," Elder Ye beckoned Fang Yu.
Ye Wenjun tactfully made way.
Fang Yu walked over, skipping any trivial pleasantries or greetings, the first thing he said was: "Elder...don't worry, I will cure your illness." His voice was soft and immensely calm.
But these words, in Dr. Li's ears, were a great mockery.
"Here he goes boasting again... Young man, aren't you afraid of spraining your tongue by talking nonsense?"
