Ye Ze’s car was parked downstairs, and he pushed his grandmother towards the car, with Shen Ye following silently. Now Shen Ye only had a few hundred yuan left on him, and it would cost at least over a hundred yuan to take a taxi back to the villa. He had to save wherever he could.

The bodyguard had already respectfully opened the car door.

Shen Ye glanced at the car logo and license plate. Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still stunned by such a luxurious car. If he guessed correctly, this car should be a custom-made high-end brand, unique in the world. He knew this information because the original owner liked cars and had knowledge in this area.

Through the original owner’s memory, he also knew that the Ye family had always been a legendary existence. The Shen family was considered a wealthy family, but compared to the Ye family, they were worlds apart. If it weren’t for his grandfather saving Ye Ze’s grandfather’s life back then, the two families would never have had any interaction, and Shen Ye and Ye Ze would never have been engaged.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.

Now the gap between him and Ye Ze was even greater, after all, the Shen family’s assets had already been taken by Yang Ming, and he still have a debt of two million yuan…

Ye Ze didn’t know what he was feeling and was about to lift his grandmother into the car. Seeing this, Shen Ye quickly regained his senses and lifted both the person and the wheelchair into the car.

The car was large enough to accommodate the wheelchair.

Ye Ze: “…”

Ye Ze couldn’t help but glance at Shen Ye’s arms.

Despite his thin and weak appearance, he had such great strength.

If Shen Ye knew what he was thinking, he would probably tell him that he had just used a talisman to help lift the wheelchair. Otherwise, how could he have managed it?

After getting in the car, Ye Ze asked him, “Do you have a place to stay now?”

Before coming, he had already learned about the changes in Shen’s family situation and Shen Ye’s current predicament. If Shen Ye had nowhere to go, he planned to take Shen Ye and his grandmother back to the Ye family in the capital.

Shen Ye nodded and said, “Yes, but I plan to take my grandmother to the hospital for a checkup first.”

Ye Ze pondered for a moment and said, “I brought a family doctor with me. They are very skilled, so let them check on your grandmother.”

Shen Ye looked at him in surprise.

Ye Ze met his gaze, not understanding why Shen Ye was looking at him like that.

Shen Ye wanted to ask him why he was so thoughtful. Was it because he already regarded him as his fiancé? But when the words were about to come out of his mouth, he swallowed them back. It was too awkward to bring up such a question between two grown men.

He averted his gaze, thinking that the Ye family’s doctors were probably very skilled and might be better at treating his grandmother’s condition. So he didn’t refuse and gave the address of the villa, saying, “Let’s go to Rongyuan.”

When Shen Ye took his grandmother and Ye Ze back to Rong Garden, Yang Jizu was also carried back to the Yang family by bodyguards. On the way, the talisman papers on Yang Jizu and the bodyguards’ foreheads had already become invalid, and everyone became sober.

Yang Jizu also realized that he had been tricked by Shen Ye. He clearly remembered how he had crashed into the wall and how he had been kicked out of the hospital room by Shen Ye.

As soon as he got home, he grabbed Liu Yuejuan’s sleeve and cried out, “Mom, it’s Shen Ye who did this to me. You have to help me get revenge!”

By now, the bleeding on his forehead had stopped, but his face was still covered in blood, making him look a bit scary.

Liu Yuejuan was heartbroken and tears streamed down her face. “How could Shen Ye be so bad?” She turned to Yang Ming and said, “Ming Ge, you have to stand up for your son!”

She and Yang Ming were lovers, but at the time they were both penniless. To climb up the social ladder, Yang Ming seduced Shen Ye’s mother and became a son-in-law of the Shen family. She could only swallow her pride and carry the label of a mistress, while Yang Ming secretly supported their son. After the old man from the Shen family died, Shen Ye’s mother was also killed by her and Yang Ming. They finally welcomed a happy life as a family of three and she couldn’t let Shen Ye climb on top of her son!

Yang Ming looked at the wound on Yang Jizu’s head and was also heartbroken. To him, Yang Jizu was his son. As for Shen Ye, who had the blood of the Shen family flowing through his veins, Yang Ming was disgusted and couldn’t even bear to think of him as a son. The biggest shame of his life was becoming a son-in-law of the Shen family, and although it was his own choice, he often wished he could forget the days of living off Shen family’s money.

He said in a cold voice, “I’ll call Shen Ye over immediately!”

Liu Yuejuan’s eyes flashed with a sinister light as she comforted Yang Jizu and said, “Mom will get revenge for you!”

Beforehand, she had set up a trap for that little beast, thinking that with his weak personality and ruined reputation, he wouldn’t be able to handle criticism and would probably commit suicide… Who would have thought that he not only didn’t commit suicide but also came to question her? Fortunately, her son was clever and pushed that little beast down the stairs.

Even though he was already unconscious, the doctor said he might not make it, but what happened? Just two days later, that little beast woke up.

Why didn’t he just die?

Liu Yuejuan cursed through gritted teeth, why didn’t God take that little beast away?

Yang Ming personally called Shen Ye, but it said his phone was turned off. He snorted angrily and called his subordinates, saying, “Bring Shen Ye back to me!”

His subordinates reported tremblingly, “Shen Ye has already left the hospital…”

Yang Ming was so angry that he slammed the table and said, “Find out where he went!”

As he was still fuming, another subordinate rushed in and said that Shen Ye had taken his grandmother away.

Before Yang Ming could react, Liu Yuejuan had already stood up in a rage and said, “Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on that old lady?”

The subordinate timidly replied, “Shen Ye had a helper with him and brought a lot of people. We couldn’t stop them…”

“Useless! You can’t even keep track of one person!” Liu Yuejuan was so angry that she was about to explode.

If she had known that the old woman would be rescued, she should have acted sooner and used Shen Ye to threaten the old woman to hand over the Shen family’s heirloom.

Now it was too late to say anything.

Yang Jizu was crying and whimpering on the side: “Mom and Dad, I was beaten by Shen Ye, please help me get revenge!”

Liu Yuejuan suppressed her anger and comforted him: “Don’t worry, we won’t let him get away.”

Yang Ming kicked his subordinate fiercely: “Go and check for me!”

Ye Ze instructed the driver to go to Rongyuan.

Shen Ye leaned back on the chair, his mind empty.

Now it was the season of warm spring and blooming flowers. The sunshine shone on him through the window, warm and cozy.

But this warm sunshine did not make him feel as comfortable as the purple aura on Ye Ze’s body.

He was sitting on the left side of his grandmother, with Ye Ze on her right side. Even though his grandmother was in between them, he could still feel the purple aura on Ye Ze’s body. That warm feeling made him extremely comfortable. If the conditions allowed, he wanted to lie down and have a good sleep.

Grandmother looked left and right, her heart full of sighs.

Although the same-sex marriage had long been legalized, the situation of men marrying men was not particularly common. If it weren’t for the changes in the Shen family, she would never have forced Shen Ye to get married.

But what could she do? Yang Ming was a beast, who didn’t even spare his own son. If she didn’t help Shen Ye find a backer, he might be eaten up and not even a bone is left.

After the old woman finished her lament, she spoke softly to Shen Ye, “Back then, Ye Ze’s Grandpa gave your grandfather a jade pendant as a symbol of your engagement to Xiao Ze. I put it in the safe deposit box at the bank. Let’s go and retrieve it now.”

The sooner they settle things, the sooner she can feel at ease. If one day she passed away, at least Shen Ye would still have Ye Ze by his side…

After Shen Ye’s grandfather passed away, his grandmother sensed Yang Ming’s ambition and promptly put all of the family heirlooms and gold bars into a bank safe deposit box. Unfortunately, she discovered this too late. By that time, Shen Ye’s mother had already been poisoned and could not be saved.

Yang Ming had planned to kill her too, but upon learning that she still had the Shen family heirloom, he spared her life and instead had her locked up in a mental hospital. Over the past six months, Yang Ming and his mistress had sent people to torture her, even breaking her legs, in an attempt to get the safe’s password. But she gritted her teeth and persisted. She had only one conviction: to live long enough to see her grandson.

Having suffered the pain of losing both her husband and daughter, if her grandson was also killed by Yang Ming and his mistress, she would truly have no face to meet her husband and daughter in the afterlife.

Therefore, she had to force Shen Ye and Ye Ze to get married, with Ye Ze protecting Shen Ye.

Shen Ye said, “Grandma, let’s go home first. I’ll go to the bank to get the jade pendant tomorrow.”

Having endured so much torture over the past six months, his grandmother needed to undergo a medical examination and recuperate.

After some thought, Shen Ye’s grandmother nodded, figuring that since Ye Ze had already accepted the engagement, there was no need to rush things. “Alright, I’ll listen to you,” she said.

Over an hour later, the car arrived at Rongyuan. It was an expensive area in the south of the city. Shen Ye’s grandfather had spent a lot of money to buy a villa here as a birthday gift for Shen Ye. The environment within the villa area was good, with good property management, cameras and security guards everywhere, and 24-hour patrol teams on duty. If any problems arose, the property management could be contacted at any time by phone.

Because of this, even though Shen Ye is short of money, he doesn’t want to sell the villa. His grandmother can retire here. They can buy two dogs and two cats to keep her company and everything will be perfect.

After parking the car, before Shen Ye could do anything, Ye Ze ordered the bodyguards to lift Shen Ye’s grandmother, along with her wheelchair, out of the car.

Shen Ye: “…”

This man is so competitive.

Ye Ze remained calm and pushed Shen Ye’s grandmother towards the villa.

Shen Ye rolled his eyes.

Fine, you have a purple aura on you, you are the boss.

At this point, the private doctor from the Ye family was already waiting at the door. Shen Ye quickly entered the password and opened the door, letting everyone in. He was about to run to the kitchen to boil water for everyone, but Ye Ze stopped him and said, “Let the servants do it.”

Shen Ye: “I don’t have any servants…”

Before he could finish his sentence, several middle-aged men and women walked in, and they respectfully stood in front of Ye Ze and addressed him as “sir.”

Shen Ye: “…”

He even brought servants with him?

With both the doctor and servants here, this man really thought of everything.

Regardless, Shen Ye was still very grateful deep down.

He was worried about how to take care of his grandmother. After all, she was a woman, and there were some things he couldn’t do by himself. He was even considering whether to hire a caregiver.

Now that Ye Ze had brought servants over, he could just order them around for a few days.

When he has money, he could hire more staff.

After all…this man was his fiancé, wasn’t he?

Ye Ze called the doctor to examine Shen Ye’s grandmother.

During the process, a maid accompanied Shen Ye’s grandmother, quietly chatting with her. Shen’s grandmother was amused and kept laughing, seeming to be in good spirits.

Shen Ye whispered, “Thank you.”

Ye Ze glanced at him and said, “No need.”

Still so aloof.

Shen Ye nodded towards the coffee table by the French windows and said, “I have something to discuss with you. Let’s go over there.”

Ye Ze nodded and the two of them walked toward the windows.

The previous owner had been living in this villa for a long time, so it was still clean and cozy. There was even a bouquet of lilies on the coffee table.

The previous owner must have been a young person who loved life, but unfortunately, the family had undergone such great changes. The people who sheltered him had all passed away and his biological father was a despicable person.

Shen Ye secretly sighed for the previous owner, and at the same time, he became more determined to avenge him.

He stood in front of the window, the sunlight shining on him and Ye Ze. He turned his head to look at Ye Ze, who was surrounded by purple and golden light and asked, “You have been missing for twenty years. Why did you suddenly come to find me?”

Ye Ze was slightly startled. After a while, he said, “I’m sorry, I came too late.”

The two families had been in contact ten years ago, but Shen Ye’s family was in Haicheng while Ye Ze’s family was in the imperial city. When Ye Ze’s grandfather fell seriously ill and went abroad for treatment, Ye Ze’s family went through a ten-year internal struggle, which led to the estrangement between the two families.

Recently, Grandpa Ye’s health has improved somewhat, and the Ye family has settled down. Grandpa Ye urged Ye Ze to find someone. It wasn’t until then that Ye Ze learned that he still had an unmarried fiancé.

He looked down at the young man in front of him.

The young man was not quite the same as in the information.

He investigated Shen Ye and found out that he used to have a sunny personality. But after Shen Ye’s grandfather passed away, he became timid and was bullied in the entertainment industry. He was also ruined by his stepmother.

Ye Ze thought he would meet a miserable and insecure young man.

But the Shen Ye he saw had no trace of misery or insecurity at all. He remembered that in the sanatorium, Shen Ye was ready to fight the bodyguards. This kid was like a newborn calf, with a strong sense of determination.

He withdrew his gaze and explained the reason.

Shen Ye pondered for a moment and asked, “Your grandfather asked you to come, so you came?”

Ye Ze didn’t deny it.

Shen Ye was somewhat regretful.

If Ye Ze had come a few days earlier, the original owner will still be alive.

However…since he came, he would definitely live well for the original owner.

Shen Ye also guessed what was going to happen next. Ye Ze must have found out about the changes in the Shen family and knew about his and his grandmother’s situation. So he went to the sanatorium to pick up Shen Ye’s grandmother. If he was still in the hospital, Ye Ze would definitely go there to find him.

He pondered for a moment, looked up at Ye Ze, and said, “Now, let’s talk about us.”

Ye Ze met his gaze for a few seconds and smiled slightly, “Sure.”

The man happened to be standing with his back to the floor-to-ceiling window, blocking the sun behind him.

Shen Ye was shrouded in the man’s shadow, only to find that he was half a head shorter than the man! This made him feel especially depressed. If only he could grow a few more centimeters…

He took a few steps back until he was out of Ye Ze’s shadow, and asked, “What are your plans now? Will you fulfill the engagement and marry me?”
