Ye Chen offers Elder Su a special melon, which he claims to have received from an old man in the mountains. Elder Su, experiencing frequent heart problems, is curious about the melon and accepts Ye Chen's offer to examine him. Ye Chen uses his powers to heal Elder Su's heart condition, promising further recovery with more of the melon. Elder Su is touched by Ye Chen's kindness and begins to feel a strong liking for him, sensing a predestined connection.

Ye Chen and Elder Su chatted for a while, then the two of them walked out of the room.

Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing as they came out, Father Su breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Ye Chen must have persuaded the elder.

"Ye Chen, how did your conversation with Grandfather go?" Su Wanyi pulled Ye Chen aside and asked.

"What do you mean, how did it go?" Ye Chen responded.

"I mean the matter of Grandfather moving in to live together." Su Wanyi got straight to the point.

"Wanyi, I think Grandfather is a nostalgic person, so it’s understandable that he’s reluctant to move." Ye Chen replied.

"But, but..." Su Wanyi said anxiously.

Before Su Wanyi could finish, Ye Chen smiled and said, "There’s no ’but,’ Wanyi, as the people closest to Grandfather, we should respect his wishes."

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Father Su’s expression became a bit unnatural. He originally wished to rely on Ye Chen but didn’t expect this kid would side with the elder.

"Ye Chen, I originally thought to let you help persuade Grandfather, but here you are doing the opposite." Su Wanyi said coyly.

"Alright, Wanyi, let’s not talk about this anymore." Ye Chen waved his hand and said.

"Wanyi, Little Chen, what were the two of you murmuring about over there?" Elder Su suddenly asked.

"Grandfather, it was nothing." Su Wanyi replied with a smile.

Then she glanced at Ye Chen and said, "I’ll settle accounts with you later."

Ye Chen felt a bit aggrieved, thinking that he was helping them out of goodwill, yet here they were, returning kindness with enmity.

But to Ye Chen, this matter was not a big deal; as long as he explained things clearly to Su Wanyi, everything would be fine.

...

Zhou Jun was full of fury after being kicked out of the banquet hall, and seeing Zhao Qing behind him, he became even angrier.

"What nonsense were you babbling back there?" Zhou Jun asked, pointing at Zhao Qing’s nose.

"Young Master Zhou, I was just stating facts. You said that he, a delivery boy, managed to win the beauty. In terms of identity and status, you are a hundred times, a thousand times superior to him. I’m just advocating for you." Zhao Qing sighed and said.

Zhao Qing, knowing Zhou Jun well, understood that he was a very petty person. He just needed to fan the flames a bit, and Zhou Jun would surely seek revenge against Ye Chen.

"But you saw that Ye Chen isn’t as simple as we thought, and he still has the protection of the Su Family." Zhou Jun frowned and said.

"Young Master Zhou, I know what you’re worried about. You’re concerned that taking action against Ye Chen might harm the amicability between the Zhou and Su Families, right?" Zhao Qing brought Zhou Jun’s concern to the surface.

Then he continued, "If the Su Family truly valued the relationship between the two families, they wouldn’t have publicly thrown you out for an outsider. Don’t you think?"

The more Zhao Qing spoke, the angrier Zhou Jun felt, also believing that today’s events were too humiliating. It was not just a slap to his face but also to the face of the Zhou Family.

Seeing the furious expression on Zhou Jun’s face, Zhao Qing continued to add fuel to the fire, saying, "Young Master Zhou, think about it. If Elder Zhou knew you were thrown out by the Su Family, could he just let it go? If you simply allowed them to throw you out without doing anything, Elder Zhou would surely blame you for being incompetent."

These words hit Zhou Jun’s heart. He always wanted to show off in front of his father, hoping for his praise.

"If you strike back, Master Zhou will certainly look at you differently. Perhaps he might pass the position of Patriarch to you, leaving nothing for your other brothers. What do you think?" Zhao Qing said with a smile towards Zhou Jun.

Upon hearing Zhao Qing’s words, Zhou Jun became even more tempted, as what he has always wanted is the position of Patriarch.

Although he has been trying to prove himself in front of his father for years, none of it pleased his father. Instead, several younger brothers gained his favor.

As the eldest son, logically, he should inherit the role, but his father insists on testing all the brothers, which fills Zhou Jun with a sense of urgency.

If through this action, he could not only avenge himself but also restore the Zhou Family’s reputation and impress his father, why not?

"Mm, you’re a good guy. When I inherit the position of Patriarch, you can become my right-hand man." Zhou Jun patted Zhao Qing’s shoulder and said.

Hearing Zhou Jun’s words, Zhao Qing knew his strategy succeeded. Using others’ power for his own revenge felt incredibly satisfying.

"Thank you, Patriarch Zhou, I will certainly serve you faithfully." Zhao Qing said flatteringly.

It was a soothing experience for Zhou Jun to hear those words, and he took out his phone to dial a number.

"Bald Brother, where are you? I need to discuss something with you." Zhou Jun said over the phone.

On the other end, Bald Brother, laying beside a seductive woman, quickly pushed away her hand and sat up, saying, "Young Master Zhou, what are your orders, please tell."

"I want you to help me collect taxes from someone." Zhou Jun directly said.

"No problem. If someone dares provoke Young Master Zhou, they must be tired of living." Bald Brother said through gritted teeth.

"Alright, come over here and I’ll explain the situation to you and bring some men along." After saying this, Zhou Jun hung up the phone.

He sent the address to Bald Brother’s phone and waited for his arrival.

"Bald Brother, where are you headed, leaving me like this? I’m not letting you go." The seductive woman said playfully.

"Be good, baby. I have something to do, I’ll be back soon." Bald Brother consoled with a smile.

After saying this, Bald Brother dressed quickly, hurried downstairs, got into his car, and drove to the address Zhou Jun provided.

Before long, Bald Brother arrived at Zhou Jun’s place and smiled, saying, "Young Master Zhou, I’m here."

Zhou Jun nodded satisfactorily and whispered softly into Bald Brother’s ear.

Bald Brother heard a familiar name from the conversation: Ye Chen.

Previously, he encountered a man called Ye Chen, a surname that was not very common, so probably the same person.

Moreover, from Zhou Jun’s words, Bald Brother also learned that Zhou Jun planned to retaliate against Ye Chen and had invited not just his group but another group, who were already on their way.

He was fine, but the other group was not to be underestimated, making Bald Brother worried for Ye Chen.

He wanted to notify Ye Chen but didn’t have his phone number, so he could only react accordingly. Ye Chen was his savior, and he couldn’t return kindness with enmity.

After instructing Bald Brother, Zhou Jun dialed another number.

Bald Brother knew the call was to the leader of the other group, but he couldn’t clearly hear what the two were discussing, which frustrated him.

Eager but unsure what to do, Bald Brother could only go with the flow.
