Chapter 140: The Proposal Has Been Proposed
As Siyi walked out of the office in a daze, Ye Zhenghao arrived at the hospital.
The hospital had probably called Ye Xiongming when the accident happened.
He rushed to the hospital, and thankfully Ye Xiongming was out of danger. He then ran straight to the office, where he saw Siyi coming out, her face pale.
"Siyi!"
Ye Zhenghao ran up to him, "What happened? Dad was fine, how did he suddenly go into shock again? What did the doctor say?"
Upon hearing the familiar voice, Siyi felt as if she were a drowning person who had suddenly grabbed a lifeline. Her hands trembled as she grabbed Ye Zhenghao's hand and threw herself into his arms, unable to control her emotions any longer, and burst into tears.
"Big brother...big brother, it's my fault...I'm so sorry to Dad, it's all my fault...I really didn't want this to happen...Big brother, hit me, hit me...The doctor said Dad is beyond saving, what should we do...what should we do, big brother..."
Her wailing startled Ye Zhenghao. "Siyi, what's wrong? Don't cry, calm down, and tell your brother what happened?"
Siyi had never been so excited in her life.
She has always been so strong-willed; even if she suffered some injustice as a child, she would not easily shed tears.
After becoming a lawyer, she learned to control her emotions better, but now she's like a helpless child, clutching her own hands tightly and crying so sadly.
Ye Zhenghao could feel her body trembling uncontrollably. When he rushed over, he thought his father was alright, but seeing her crying so sadly, he began to panic.
"Siyi, tell your brother what exactly happened."
Siyi was still crying, her voice choked and indistinct, but Ye Zhenghao could still hear her clearly, "...The doctor said Dad...he's not going to make it...I'm sorry...I'm sorry, big brother, I really didn't mean to make Dad angry just now...He was just...it was all because of me...I'm sorry...I'm sorry..."
Siyi spoke haltingly, and Ye Zhenghao didn't understand at first. "Siyi, what are you apologizing for? What did you just do?" He paused, then suddenly remembered something. His eyes darkened, and he pressed her shoulders, asking, "Has Jiang Yan come back?"
Besides this, he couldn't think of anything else that could cause his father to suddenly go into shock, and that was related to Siyi.
Sure enough, Siyi nodded stiffly.
Ye Zhenghao was furious, and the pressure on her shoulders tightened uncontrollably. He pursed his lips tightly, and after a long while, he gritted his teeth and growled, "Siyi, you really are..."
But he still forced himself to remain silent before he could finish speaking.
Now that things have come to this, he knew Siyi must be filled with regret. Seeing her crying like this, it pained him as her older brother. In the end, he said nothing, suppressing his anger as he tried to comfort her, "Siyi, don't cry. What did the doctor say?"
Siyi's voice was hoarse from crying, and she was still sobbing as she spoke. "Dad's attending physician said that the situation is not very optimistic. Even if Dad recovers from his stroke, he... he won't live much longer... But he also said that the hospital director will be back tomorrow. He is an authority in cardiology, and he said he would ask him to examine Dad."
Ye Zhenghao was somewhat surprised. "You mean the director of this hospital?"
Siyi nodded.
"How could this be..." Ye Zhenghao murmured to himself, "Why would he suddenly agree to let Dad see it?"
"Big brother, what did you say?"
Ye Zhenghao looked at her eyes, which were swollen like walnuts, and sighed. He said, "I know that the director of this hospital is an authority in cardiology and is very famous in City A. I was able to get a bed here through a friend's connections. I wanted the director to help my dad, but I tried calling him several times and couldn't reach him. His personal phone doesn't answer calls from unknown numbers, and I heard he's not even in City A right now... Why did he suddenly agree?"
Siyi's mind was in a mess at the moment, so she didn't think too much about it. She casually replied, "...Maybe he knows you've been looking for him. Doctors are definitely very responsible to their patients. If the hospital director is really willing to see Dad, maybe...maybe there will be a turning point."
Ye Zhenghao had a feeling that things weren't quite right, but he didn't say much at the moment. He nodded and took Siyi to Ye Xiongming's ward.

A red sports car sped past on the wide road.
The man in the driver's seat wore sunglasses, and the wisps of hair on his forehead fluttered slightly in the breeze from the air conditioner. His thin lips were pursed, revealing little emotion. Even with his captivating eyes hidden behind the sunglasses, his unparalleled handsome face still possessed a charm that could make anyone's heart flutter at first glance.
In the quiet carriage, her phone suddenly rang. Jiang Yan reached into her pocket, took it out, glanced at the caller ID, and answered immediately, "Speak."
The voice on the other end reported respectfully, "Young Master Yan, I have found out the matter you asked me to investigate at the Civil Affairs Bureau today."
"Ok?"
"Young Master Yan, the investigation revealed nothing."
As the car pulled into the parking lot, Jiang Yan saw several people coming out of the airport exit through the windshield. He didn't even bother to reply, simply hung up the phone, opened the car door, and strode towards the exit.
Jiang Jizhen had handed the company over to Jiang Yansen years ago. Over the years, he has been traveling around and Jiang Yansen has never cared about his whereabouts. Jiang Yansen would occasionally call him, but how could he not know whether he was sincere or not?
One of her sons looked down on her, while the other had long been accustomed to pretending to be obedient in front of her.
He never expected that when he returned to City A, he would see Jiang Yan coming back to find him.
Yi Ye was stunned. Before he could even bend down and get into the car, he heard hurried footsteps behind him, followed by a familiar voice asking him coldly, "Where have you been?"
Jiang Jizhen paused slightly as he bent over, straightened up, glanced at his son's gloomy face, waved his hand, signaling his attendants to get into the car first, and chuckled slowly, his deep voice relaxed, "Yan Hui, you've got so much free time today, you even came to pick me up from the airport?"
Jiang Yan reached out and pulled down her sunglasses, squinting at the father in front of her who had given birth to her and raised her, but had never educated her. He suddenly raised one corner of his lips, a half-smile that made him look even more charming and sinister. "Why did you come back alone? I thought I would have a stepmother this time."
Jiang Jizhen's face stiffened. "What are you talking about?"
“I’ve never cared how many women you have outside, and I don’t expect you to visit my mother, but let me tell you, if you dare to do anything with Guan Fengru…” He pursed his lips, his tall figure exuding a dangerous pressure, and approached the old woman in front of him, saying each word slowly and deliberately, “I can’t guarantee what I will do. You should know what kind of person I am; if I say it, I will do it.”
Jiang Jizhen chuckled instead, "What do you think I could do with Feng Ru?"
Fengru, that's a really affectionate way of addressing her.
Jiang Yan sneered, "I don't want to waste any time or energy speculating about your private life. I'll just watch what you do. This is my bottom line. I won't object to you being with any other woman, even if you let her into the Jiang family mansion. At most, I'll never appear in front of you again. But that woman is absolutely unacceptable! Even if you disown me as your son, I will still object!"
"Objection?" Jiang Jizhen's expression tightened slightly. He had always had a rather cold and aloof look. As he aged, some wrinkles appeared on his forehead, but they did not diminish his icy aura at all. In his youth, he was a ruthless character who had truly stepped over countless corpses. Even a slight furrow of his brow could give off an overwhelming sense of oppression. At this moment, his voice was displeased, "You came all this way to block my way just to say these things to me?"
"I don't think we have anything else to talk about." The father and son don't get along, but they are still the same kind of people in their blood, and their tone is always domineering and arrogant.
"You unfilial son!" Jiang Jizhen suddenly erupted in rage. He roared and cursed, "If we have nothing to talk about, why are you blocking my way? Do you really think I'll listen to whatever you say? Don't think I don't know who you're doing all this for today, coming all this way to spout this nonsense. It's that woman named Ye Siyi, isn't it? Are you afraid that if I have something going on with her mother, it won't be your problem? What, you, Young Master Yan, aren't you a womanizer? Now you're openly yelling at me for the sake of that one woman?"
Jiang Yan laughed self-deprecatingly.
His gaze towards Jiang Jizhen was incredibly complex. "I once thought that if you were to visit my mother someday, I would never hold a grudge about what happened back then. But all these years, it's never happened, not even once. You might say I have countless women? That's something I learned from you." He reached up and put his sunglasses back on, instantly concealing his complex and unfathomable gaze. His hands casually slipped into his pockets, and his enigmatic tone carried a hint of sarcasm—
"I love learning everything from you, don't you know that?"
He left those words behind and turned to leave, but Jiang Jizhen spoke up in a deep voice behind him, "Yan Hui, you don't need to think about it anymore. I've already proposed to Feng Ru. I'm not going to hide anything from you. You'd better give up the idea of continuing to be with Ye Siyi. She will be your sister from now on."
