“Grandpa,” Ye Rong greeted Old Master Ye with a respectful nod.
Old Master Ye’s face softened with concern. “Take a seat, Rong. You shouldn’t overexert yourself.”
a.s.sisted by Madam Su, Ye Rong slowly sat down, his frailty evident.
Old Master Ye’s worry was apparent. “What brings you back so suddenly? And without a word to any of us? How are you feeling?”
Ye Rong, the reclusive Fourth Young Master of the Ye family, had been battling illness since he was young. His public appearances were rare, making him almost a stranger in his own home. Even Ye Nanshen, had seen him only a handful of times.
Madam Su, ever graceful, spoke for her son. “Don’t worry, Mr. Ye. Rong’s health is much better. He’s been missing home, so we decided to come back. We didn’t expect to arrive amid such a lively moment.”
All eyes turned to Madam Su, who greeted everyone in the living room with composed grace.
However, when her eyes landed on Rong Qi, they widened in surprise and delight. She stepped forward, examining Rong Qi closely, “Is it you? You…”
Madam Su wanted to approach Rong Qi but halted, sensing the powerful presence of the man beside her. She looked at Rong Qi with surprise and expectation.
Ye Nanshen stepped in. “Little Qi, meet Madam Su.”
Rong Qi smiled warmly. “Madam Su, I’m Shen’s wife, Rong Qi.”
Madam Su was visibly moved. “You’re Rong Qi… It’s like a miracle.”
She turned to Ye Rong, her eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears. “Rong, meet Shen’s wife, your lifesaver.”
Ye Rong’s gaze met Rong Qi’s. She sat with an effortless grace, her hand casually supporting her chin, the other resting on her husband’s leg. The picture they formed was one of tranquility and warmth.
“Cough… Shen, Rong Qi,” Ye Rong greeted, his voice weak but respectful.
Ye Rong addressed them together, unable to ignore Ye Nanshen’s imposing presence beside Rong Qi.
Ye Nanshen nodded, and Rong Qi responded with a gentle smile.
‘They seemed to know Rong Qi.’ Mrs. Ye Sr. thought. She asked, “Did you just say Rong Qi saved Ye Rong?”
Madam Su affirmed, “Yes.”
“Yes, she did,” Madam Su replied, her eyes now on Old Master Ye. “The day we returned, my son fell ill at a mall. Rong Qi was there and helped him. The doctors said if not for her, he might not have made it…”
Her words trailed off, the gravity of the situation unspoken but understood.
Madam Liu, skeptical, chimed in. “Her? Saving Ye Rong? How? We know his condition. How could she possibly… Madam Su, you might be mistaken.”
After Ye Rong’s parents’ divorce and his father’s death, Madam Su and Ye Rong had moved abroad. Under Mrs. Ye Sr.’s directive, she was not acknowledged as a Ye family member, hence referred to simply as “Madam Su”..
