Chapter 1636: Ye Chen

Ye Chen didn't expect that Lin Wanqiu had specially prepared a suit for him.

Just as he was wondering, Gu Yanzhong on the side smiled and said: "Your Auntie Lin was afraid that you wouldn't have prepared a suit when you came to Yanjing, so she specially asked the best custom suit master in London to make one for you."

Ye Chen thanked him: "Thank you, Auntie Lin!"

Lin Wanqiu smiled: "Why are you being so polite with Auntie? I estimated the suit size and sent it over. I don't know if it fits you, so come and try it on."

At this time, Gu Qiuyi, wearing a slip dress, also walked out of the room yawning and said with a giggle: "Brother Ye Chen, the suit Mom ordered for you is especially handsome. It is said that many prime ministers and presidents in Europe and North America are regular customers of that master! Go try it on!"

Ye Chen couldn't refuse their kindness, so he followed the mother and daughter to the independent walk-in closet upstairs.

This walk-in closet in the Gu family, which was larger than a normal bedroom, was at least forty square meters. Lin Wanqiu took Ye Chen to the full-length mirror covering the entire wall, and then took out a brand-new black suit from the wardrobe next to it.

Gu Qiuyi took out an ironed, wrinkle-free white shirt and a tie from the wardrobe on the side.

Lin Wanqiu handed the suit to Ye Chen and said with a smile: "Chen'er, try it on and see if it fits."

Ye Chen said with a bit of embarrassment: "Auntie Lin, is there a spare room where I can try on clothes?"

Gu Qiuyi hurriedly said: "Mom, you go out first, otherwise Brother Ye Chen will be shy. I'll help him change clothes here."

Ye Chen said helplessly: "Nannan, I can do it myself. Why don't you avoid it for a moment too?"

Gu Qiuyi pouted and said: "I'm already considered your child bride, and you still want me to avoid it when you change clothes..."

Ye Chen blurted out: "How did you become a child bride..."

Gu Qiuyi said seriously: "I was betrothed to you since I was a child. How is that any different from a child bride?"

Lin Wanqiu smiled on the side and said: "Alright Nannan, stop teasing Chen'er. Let's go out first and let Chen'er change clothes by himself before we come back in."

Gu Qiuyi looked at Ye Chen, smiled mischievously, took the tie off the shirt, shook it in her hand, and said: "Brother Ye Chen, I'll tie your tie for you in a moment."

After speaking, she went out of the closet with her mother.

At the same time, Helena, who was at the Buckingham Hotel, had already gotten up from bed.

Last night, because she was worried that her secret would be exposed, she hadn't rested well all night.

At first, she couldn't fall asleep for a long time, and when she finally did, she kept having all kinds of nightmares, sleeping intermittently for less than two hours.

Her physical condition was already very poor, and after not getting enough rest during the days she had been in China, her condition was even worse. So last night's torment was simply adding insult to injury for her.

When she got up, she felt her heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably, almost about to lose control.

She hurriedly took out a nitroglycerin tablet and held it under her tongue, which made her feel a little better.

However, her overall state was still extremely poor.

Thinking that she would have to spend almost the entire day at the Ye family today and tomorrow, Helena couldn't help but doubt whether her body could hold up.

But she also knew that even if she couldn't hold up, she had to force herself to. Whether her mother would have someone to rely on in her old age basically depended on her.

Just then, she suddenly received a call from her mother in Northern Europe. As soon as the call connected, her mother said on the other end: "Helena, the royal family just notified that your grandmother is now suffering from multi-organ failure and is in a deep coma. She could pass away at any time..."

Helena was shocked: "How did it deteriorate so quickly?!"

"I don't know." Helena's mother said: "I only heard that the situation deteriorated rapidly and is out of control. The doctor said she can no longer wake up. When she passes away is just a matter of time. If it's fast, at most two or three days; if it's slow, it won't exceed a week."

Helena couldn't help but feel a bit sad and disappointed.

Although she had often been dissatisfied with her grandmother's tough methods, many times she could still understand all the decisions made by that resilient old lady.

Naturally, this included her stripping Helena of her right to the throne.

Although her grandmother had held great power for so many years, she had always served the royal family wholeheartedly, hoping that the royal family could continue to be strong.

Therefore, every decision she made was not based on her own interests, but on the overall situation of the royal family.

Helena still admired her for this.

Now, her grandmother was about to pass away, yet she was still thousands of miles away in China, which made her feel inevitably sad.

At this time, Helena's mother added: "If your grandmother passes away in the next few days, I'm afraid your engagement banquet will have to be postponed. According to royal rules, you will definitely have to come back first to attend your grandmother's funeral, then attend Olivia's coronation ceremony, and then go to China to hold the engagement banquet with Ye Feng."

"I understand." Helena said very understandingly: "As a member of the royal family, the Queen's funeral and the new Emperor's coronation are naturally the two most important things."

As she spoke, Helena couldn't help but ask: "Mom, can I take advantage of the time before Grandmother passes away to go back and see her one last time? The engagement banquet will definitely be postponed, and there's no point in me staying here. If I wait until after Grandmother passes away to go back, I won't have that opportunity."

Helena's mother sighed and said: "We can't make the decision on this. You have to ask Olivia what she thinks. Although she hasn't been officially crowned yet, she has already taken over the royal family's affairs. If you want to go back and see your grandmother one last time, ask for Olivia's opinion first. If she nods, there will naturally be no problem."

"Alright!" Helena hurriedly said: "Then I'll call Olivia right now."

After saying goodbye to her mother, Helena immediately called her cousin, who was also the next Queen to be crowned, Olivia.

The phone rang for a long time without being answered. Just when Helena was about to hang up and call back later, the call connected.

Immediately, a woman's voice with a hint of a smile sounded on the other end: "Helena, how have you been in China lately, my sister?"

Helena hurriedly said: "Olivia, I heard that Grandmother is critically ill?"

The other side said with a smile: "Yes, sister. Multi-organ failure. The doctor has already told us to be mentally prepared to lose her at any time."

Helena felt Olivia's light laughter was a bit harsh, but she couldn't care about that right now and hurriedly asked her: "Olivia, if Grandmother's condition is so bad, she might pass away before the day of my engagement..."

"I will definitely have to go back for the funeral, and the engagement will inevitably be postponed. So I want to explain the situation to the Ye family first, temporarily postpone the engagement, and go back to see Grandmother one last time. Is that okay?"

The other side was silent for a moment, and then, the other party lost the smile from just now and asked coldly: "If I remember correctly, you are getting engaged on the 7th, right?"

"Yes." Helena blurted out: "In three days! I'm worried that Grandmother won't last these three days, and if that happens, I won't be able to see her one last time."

The other party sneered: "Helena, Grandmother is now in a deep coma and won't wake up again. Even if you come back, she won't recognize you. I think you don't need to bother! Regardless of whether she lives or dies within three days, your engagement with the Ye family will be held as scheduled. No changes are allowed!"
