Chapter 170 Grandpa also wants to know
Ye Yan posted a beautiful photo in the sun, saying nothing, yet it seemed like she said everything.
【My husband is still so handsome~】
【Brother is so beautiful, marry me! 】
[This time she's not cold at all, she's so gentle and like a wife (is that something I can say)]
I understand. The leaves are really telling us that time is peaceful and good. He is also fine. Don't overthink it!
Why don't you deny the depression? Is it hard to just say it's a rumor? Don't worry your fans.
【As we all know, keeping silent is acquiescence】
There are bound to be one or two truths among thousands of words, but it has little impact. After all, no one has any evidence unless Song Zhen makes his medical records public.
A TV series with two male protagonists will never lack rival scenes between the two male protagonists. Because they have to rehearse and dub in the same recording studio, Ye Yan has no choice but to go in and out with Ji Yunzhi these days.
He thought that the relationship between him and Xu Qingran was already known to everyone, and Ji Yunzhi would naturally have heard about it, so he was not worried that Ji Yunzhi would say something to him that would make the atmosphere awkward.
The fact was exactly as he thought. For half a month, Ji Yunzhi had been communicating with him normally, and there was even an extra sense of boundaries between them than between ordinary friends.
This made Ye Yan feel very comfortable, and she completed the entire dubbing of "Chu Cheng" smoothly.
"Chu Ling, the wind and snow cannot reach the ocean, the flowers in the south cannot be as beautiful as those in the north wilderness, the summit of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect is not my destination, I want to have more than one place under my feet, see you in the mortal world again."
As Ye Yan finished her last line, she took off her headphones and left the recording studio amid the applause of the sound engineer and director. The director team immediately presented flowers to Ye Yan and Ji Yunzhi to celebrate.
"Congratulations to Ye Yanyunzhi on finishing filming. I've booked a hotel tonight. Let's get together one last time. Do you have time?"
Ji Yunzhi of course gladly accepted the director's cordial invitation and looked at Ye Yan with anticipation.
Ye Yan really didn't want to go. With so many setbacks in his love and family life, he was in no mood to socialize. But he didn't have any other announcements that evening, so he had no good reason to refuse.
Never mind. It’s the last time anyway, and it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to be absent.
Ye Yan has never been someone who puts on airs. Although he sometimes speaks bluntly, under reasonable circumstances, he will convince himself to obey the arrangements even if he doesn't want to.
"Okay, see you tonight."
He still agreed, thinking that he wouldn't be able to see his father anyway, and he wouldn't be dating Xu Qingran for the time being. Going back home and staying at home would just be a waste of time. Maybe he would sleep better if he went out for a couple of drinks.
After coming out of the recording studio and before getting in the elevator to leave, he received another call from Qiu Yuan.
"Is Xiaoyan busy?"
"I just finished work. Is everything okay, Auntie? Is there something wrong with Dad's illness?"
He usually contacts Qiu Yuan through text messages. In his opinion, there is no need to call unless it is an urgent matter, so he is a little afraid of receiving a call from Qiu Yuan, for fear of hearing bad news.
"It's okay. Xiao Rui said you were very worried and had trouble eating and sleeping. Don't overthink it. We've invited experts from the United States. They say they have a new drug that's still in the experimental stage. Your father agreed to try it. If it's successful, although he can't be brought back to life, his health might be good enough for surgery in the future."
"This medicine is really expensive. Ten milliliters costs one million. You have to inject it every three days. If there are no side effects, you have to use it continuously for six months. It costs a lot of money. I thought I had to tell you. I didn't tell your father the specific number because I was afraid he wouldn't agree."
"It's okay, Auntie. Not long ago, I paid 6 million in liquidated damages, and now it's only million. I'll send you a card tomorrow, and you can just pay whatever you need."
Ye Yan was relieved that it was not bad news. For him, if spending 60 million could cure his father's illness, it was better than cutting out a piece of flesh from his heart.
He could bear never seeing each other again while he was alive, but he would never agree to be separated by death.
"No need, Xiaoxu has already paid the money. You can tell him whether you want to return it or not."
"Oh, I see. If you have anything else, just call me. Goodbye, Auntie."
Ye Yan hung up the phone. He was not surprised at all that Xu Qingran had paid the money. He was the one who arranged the hospital, and he was not short of money, so he would definitely pay it.
Should I return it to him? Ye Yan began to think about this and walked into the elevator with a haggard look.
He didn't have to think about it for long; he had already made up his mind when he sat down in the van.
"Brother Li is going to the bank."
Ye Yan instructed the driver to transfer the money to Xu Qingran. This was the money for his father's medical treatment. He didn't have to pay back the hundreds of millions of dollars for the gift, but he had to pay for it himself.
An hour later, Xu Qingran, who was enjoying a family dinner at the old house, received a text message from the bank: Dear Black Card user, 11 yuan was transferred into your account at 8000,0000: AM. The remittance account number is...
At the same time, Ye Yan's message also came, and Xu Qingran, who had been waiting for him to contact him, clicked on it immediately.
Yan: I will transfer the money you gave to Yinghua to you, thank you.
It was his style, so Xu Qingran was not surprised. Moreover, he received the word "thank you". His lips, which had been pursed into a straight line, finally showed some curve.
"Qingran, eat your meal seriously. If you have anything to deal with, wait until after dinner."
Seeing that he was looking at his phone instead of picking up any food, the old man in his seventies sitting in the main seat reminded him in a gentle voice, without any seriousness of an elder's lecture. So most of the time, Xu Qingran would rather come back here to eat with his grandfather than go back to that family of three where even the air was thin.
As soon as the old man spoke, Xu Qingran immediately put his phone aside obediently.
"I see, Grandpa. Uncle Hua's cooking is still the best. I have to eat more today, especially this red oil conch."
As Xu Qingran spoke, he picked up another conch and skillfully picked out the snail meat with a fork, eating it with relish and nodding in praise.
The old man was a little surprised. He looked at him and asked with a smile, "Didn't you dislike spicy food before? Why did you ask Uncle Hua to make it spicy today?"
"Because... after eating it a few times, I fell in love with it." Xu Qingran said with a smile.
He had eaten this dish a lot when he was Ye Yan's assistant, but he himself would not usually order this dish.
So when the family chef Uncle Hua asked him how he wanted to eat the conch today, he remembered that he hadn't had such a happy moment for a long time since he left Ye Yan.
He also wanted to help Ye Yan pick the snail meat and return to the state he was in at that time.
Suddenly I understood why Ye Yan liked him back then. After all, even I seemed to miss him a little bit.
The old man looked at him wearing a suit but picking snails and eating them with relish, not caring about his image. He smiled indulgently and continued to drink the soup. After finishing, he wiped his mouth with paper and signaled the nanny to take the soup bowl away.
"Qingran, are you used to managing the company?"
The old man suddenly asked him, as if it was a normal concern. Xu Qingran nodded naturally: "There's nothing to be uncomfortable with. Besides, even if I'm not used to it, I have to force myself to get used to it. It's your fault that you didn't let my mother give me a brother or sister."
Xu Qingran spoke his true feelings as if jokingly. He had a smile on his face, but with delicious food in his mouth, he couldn't hide the bitterness.
Only when his grandfather asked this question would he smile. If it were Lin Anyi and Xu Rong, he was not sure whether he could still finish the meal.
The old man understood. After all, he had seen his grandson grow up, and he knew very well what kind of person he was.
He noticed that Xu Qingran was not happy as the heir.
"Are you still angry with your parents? Tell me honestly, is the termination of Ye Yan's contract as our spokesperson related to your parents? When you were a child, you didn't want to study financial management, and I supported you. There's nothing you can't tell me."
The old man smiled kindly and had no intention of questioning him. Instead, it seemed as if he wanted to hear what was on his mind.
Xu Qingran was stunned and slowly put down the conch he had just picked up.
What does grandpa mean by this? Does he want to ask about Ye Yan and me? So should I tell the truth or avoid the important point...
He suddenly felt a little conflicted. The rumors about him and Ye Yan had been circulating for two years. The old man had remained silent for so long but finally asked about it.
