Chapter 1622: No choice!

The first time Ye Chen saw Helena, he wasn't surprised by her beautiful and exotic face like other men; instead, he was surprised by her excessively pale skin.

It is normal for white people to have fair skin, but Helena was a bit too pale.

Her skin tone gave the impression of an elf princess from the movie *The Lord of the Rings*—not just white, but much whiter than the average white person.

Therefore, Ye Chen paid more attention to her physical condition and saw at a glance that her body was much weaker than the average person's, a typical case of severe, long-term deficiency of Qi and blood.

It could be said that her entire person was in a precarious state, ready to collapse at any moment.

The moment he shook her hand lightly, Ye Chen used his spiritual energy to silently check her body and discovered her actual ailment.

In his view, her heart, as well as the arteries in her heart, brain, and lungs, all had very obvious congenital deficiencies.

On one hand, there was a ventricular septal defect between her heart chambers, causing a large amount of blood to flow back into the heart, thereby increasing the heart's load.

On the other hand, because her pulmonary artery was too narrow, her entire cardiopulmonary function was much worse than a normal person's.

Besides this, her symptoms were also accompanied by problems such as ventricular hypertrophy and aortic displacement.

Ye Chen didn't understand Western medicine, so he didn't know what kind of disease her heart problem belonged to in modern medicine.

However, under the perception of spiritual energy, he could conclude one thing: Helena's current state was not good.

She wasn't just having heart problems; her body was also very weak. If this continued, he was afraid she would only have a few months left to live.

This was still under stable conditions. If there were other unfavorable external factors, or if she were overly fatigued, or felt depressed and painful, she would likely fall ill and die directly.

Ye Chen's sudden remark just now gave Helena a fright.

She looked at Ye Chen in disbelief, unable to understand how Ye Chen could see that her situation was not good.

At this moment, she was also extremely nervous, fearing that this matter would be known by others in the Ye family.

Thus, she hurriedly said to Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye might have misunderstood. My body is quite fine; it's just that I haven't adjusted to the jet lag."

Ye Chen still wanted to say something, but Ye Feng said with an unhappy face, "Ye Chen, I know you know a little bit about Feng Shui, fortune-telling, and other such street-performer tricks, but don't you go spouting nonsense in front of your sister-in-law!"

Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders and said to Helena, "If you feel your heart hurting so much you can't bear it, bite your right middle finger hard."

As he spoke, he reached out, pinched her right middle finger with one hand, and tapped lightly on her fingertip with the other, saying, "There, it's this finger. Remember, only this finger can save your life."

No one knew that when Ye Chen spoke, he had quietly left a trace of spiritual energy on the tip of Helena's right middle finger.

This trace of spiritual energy was cleverly sealed by him on Helena's fingertip. Once it was squeezed hard, it could immediately flow into her body, and at a critical moment, it could save her life.

If it had been two days ago, Ye Chen wouldn't have had such strong ability to control spiritual energy so cleverly.

It was because after taking the Peiyuan Pill, not only had the spiritual energy in his body increased several times, but his ability to control spiritual energy had also greatly improved.

However, no one knew that Ye Chen had just left a life-saving charm for Helena. On the contrary, Ye Feng and Ye Hao both thought he was talking nonsense.

Ye Feng even felt that Ye Chen grabbing Helena's finger was to deliberately take advantage of her!

Thus, he stepped forward angrily, blocked Helena behind him, and said to Ye Chen with an angry face, "Ye Chen, although you are my brother, if you dare to have any improper thoughts about your sister-in-law, don't blame me for being impolite to you!"

After saying that, he looked at Gu Qiuyi and Tang Sihai and said angrily, "Ms. Qiuyi, Steward Tang, you must have seen what Ye Chen just did. Did I wrong him?"

Ye Feng was not a reckless man. The reason he had to say this was to let Gu Qiuyi, and even Tang Sihai, hear his words.

Ye Feng felt that Ye Chen had indeed actively touched Helena's finger, and he would make him take the blame for this!

Tang Sihai was somewhat embarrassed; he didn't know why Ye Chen would do this, but Gu Qiuyi said firmly, "Ye Feng, don't be ungrateful! You don't know Brother Ye Chen's abilities at all! Since he said to bite the tip of the right middle finger at a critical moment, there must be a reason for it!"

"There's no reason for it!" Ye Feng snorted coldly, "I think you've been bewitched by him! I advise you to open your eyes early!"

Gu Qiuyi said angrily, "Stop talking nonsense, you don't need to worry about my business!"

Ye Chen didn't feel angry at Ye Feng's performance at all, just said indifferently, "Alright, don't be yelling like a shrew here. I've finished what I had to say. As for how you think, that's your freedom. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

Ye Feng shouted sternly, "Stop right there! You haven't given me a reasonable explanation for this matter!"

Ye Chen smiled, ignored him, and looked at Helena, asking her, "Ms. Helena, do you think I need to explain in detail?"

Helena was nervous and shook her head, saying, "No need, no need."

After saying that, she turned to look at Ye Feng and said firmly, "I believe Ye Chen meant well; he is definitely not what you think."

"I..." Ye Feng was so angry he almost couldn't catch his breath.

He never dreamed that Helena would speak up for Ye Chen.

Although he couldn't figure out the reason, since Helena had said so, if he kept holding onto it, it would look like he was making a fuss over nothing. If he went to complain to Grandpa, he wouldn't be 100% in the right.

Thus, he could only nod and say coldly, "Fine! I won't pursue this matter for now!"

After saying that, he looked at Ye Chen and said unkindly, "Ye Chen, Grandpa said that since you've been drifting outside for so many years and just returned to Yanjing today, you must return to the Ye family first. The motorcade is already here, come back with me!"

Ye Chen snorted, "Heh... sorry, go tell him, I'll go to the Ye family tomorrow."

After saying this, he looked at Tang Sihai and said with some respect, "Steward Tang, please help me pass on a message. I'm going to Uncle Gu's house today, and I will visit the door early tomorrow morning."

Tang Sihai didn't dare to say much, nodded respectfully, and said, "Understood, Young Master Chen, I will report to the Old Master."

"Hmm." Ye Chen nodded slightly and said to Gu Qiuyi beside him, "Nannan, let's go."

Gu Qiuyi immediately agreed, "Understood, Brother Ye Chen!"

After saying that, she immediately pulled Ye Chen and turned to walk toward her Volvo.

Ye Feng shouted from behind with a dark face, "Ye Chen! You have to understand, if you don't come back with me, you are defying Grandpa!"

Ye Chen said without looking back, "Whatever!"

After saying that, he opened the front passenger door of the Volvo and sat directly inside.

Gu Qiuyi started the car, stepped on the gas, and the car drove out through the gap between the two Rolls-Royces... ===== CHAPTER 1623 =====
