Chapter 258
Shi Tianqi hung up the phone and said to Wei Liang, "Master Ye has agreed to see you. Come with me."
Upon hearing this, Wei Liang immediately showed an expression of immense gratitude, bowed to Shi Tianqi, and said, "Thank you, Divine Physician Shi, for your generous help!"
Shi Tianqi waved his hand and said, "I am merely acting as a bridge for you to Master Ye. You don't need to thank me. If Master Ye is willing to help you, just thank him."
Wei Liang nodded hurriedly and asked, "Divine Physician Shi, shall we head over now?"
Shi Tianqi responded with a sound, called over his granddaughter Chen Xiaozhao, and said, "Xiaozhao, drive us to Master Ye's house."
When Chen Xiaozhao heard they were going to see Master Ye, she was instantly excited and said quickly, "Grandfather, let's go now, then. Don't keep Master Ye waiting!"
Afterward, Wei Liang tucked away the thousand-year-old snow ginseng, followed Shi Tianqi and Chen Xiaozhao out of Jishitang, and sat inside an Audi sedan that Chen Xiaozhao had recently purchased.
Ever since Shi Tianqi decided to stay in Jin Ling, Chen Xiaozhao had bought this car to make travel more convenient for herself and her grandfather.
Chen Xiaozhao drove, and ten minutes later, the group of three arrived at the entrance of Ye Chen's home.
Shi Tianqi looked at Wei Liang and reminded him, "Your brother previously had some conflict with Master Ye. When you see Master Ye in a moment, you must not show any disrespect."
Wei Liang nodded hurriedly and said, "Please rest assured, Divine Physician Shi! Wei Liang would not dare to show the slightest disrespect to Master Ye!"
"Hmm." Shi Tianqi also knew that Wei Liang was not the same type of person as his arrogant and domineering brother, so he nodded and pressed the doorbell of Ye Chen's house.
Ye Chen opened the door. When Shi Tianqi and Chen Xiaozhao saw Ye Chen, they quickly bowed and said respectfully, "Greetings, Master Ye!"
Wei Liang also hurriedly followed suit and said, "Wei Liang greets Master Ye."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "There is no need for such formalities. Come in and talk."
The three of them then walked into the house.
As soon as they entered, the three of them couldn't help but look at the decor in the living room. This was the first time the three of them had been to Ye Chen's home, so each of them couldn't help but wonder in their hearts: Ye Chen clearly already held a very transcendent status in Jin Ling's upper society, so why did he still live in such an ordinary residential building?
Wei Liang also felt that Master Ye was unfathomable; a super-rich man who could casually throw away one hundred million at an auction lived in such a simple environment.
Ye Chen did not know what the three were thinking. He pointed to the sofa and said to them, "Please, sit."
The three of them responded and sat down opposite Ye Chen.
Ye Chen looked at Wei Liang and asked curiously, "I heard you have something you need my help with?"
Wei Liang nodded hurriedly, took the wooden box containing the thousand-year-old snow ginseng from his bosom, handed it to Ye Chen, and said respectfully:
"Master Ye, this thousand-year-old snow ginseng is a family heirloom passed down for many years by my mother's family. I have kept it with me all these years, but such a precious treasure cannot exert its full effect in my hands, so I thought of offering it to Master Ye!"
Ye Chen did not speak. He took the wooden box, opened it, and looked closely. He saw a snow-white ginseng, with roots resembling a human and already somewhat wax-like, lying quietly inside.
With just this one look, Ye Chen felt the intense and rich spiritual energy within it. This was truly a rare treasure! It had survived in the world for a thousand years, absorbing nothing but the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Moreover, its origin was Mount Zhangbai, which was still very well-protected even now, almost in its primitive state, making this snow ginseng even purer.
Ye Chen couldn't help but feel excited. If this thousand-year-old snow ginseng were used for himself, it could allow his strength to leap directly to another level. It was truly a rare and excellent opportunity.
Thus, Ye Chen asked indifferently, "Wei Liang, what do you want to ask of me?"
Wei Liang said hurriedly, "Master Ye, to tell you the truth, Xiao Yiqian, the head of the Yan Jing Xiao family and chairman of Qiancheng Group, lost his male ability some time ago. After taking the medicine improved by the Wei family, his root actually began to rot. Now, doctors all say his root cannot be saved and requires amputation. If he really undergoes amputation, my Wei family will be in trouble! So I beg Master Ye to take action, help Xiao Yiqian solve the rotting problem, and help the Wei family survive this disaster..."
Ye Chen smiled playfully. Without answering him directly, he asked with a curious look, "I heard you have suffered a lot of bitterness and humiliation in the Wei family. Why would you take out such a precious snow ginseng at this time to ask me to help the Wei family overcome this difficulty?"
Wei Liang confessed, "I have indeed suffered endless humiliation in the Wei family all these years. To be honest, I have no feelings for the Wei family. If my mother hadn't been terminally ill and unable to raise me back then, she wouldn't have let the Wei family take me from Mount Zhangbai to Jin Ling..."
Speaking of this, Wei Liang suddenly became a bit agitated. He clenched his fists and said, "The Wei family has made me suffer so much humiliation for so many years. The reason I am still in the Wei family is to find an opportunity to avenge these years of insults! And! My father caused my mother great harm back then. I have always hoped that one day I could make him bow his head, make him go to Mount Zhangbai, to my mother's grave, and repent to my mother!"
By the time Wei Liang finished speaking, his emotions were somewhat agitated. A man in his thirties actually shed two lines of hot tears.
He choked up and said, "Master Ye may not know that my mother was originally the only daughter of a family of herb gatherers at the foot of Mount Zhangbai. Although the family was not wealthy, because they had the skill of gathering herbs, life was still quite prosperous. That scum, my father, went to Mount Zhangbai to collect herbs. Seeing that my mother was beautiful and young and naive, he tricked my mother. My mother was toyed with by him and thought he would marry her, but she never expected that this scumbag would just walk away, while my mother was pregnant with his child..."
As he spoke, Wei Liang told Ye Chen the whole story of what happened back then, truthfully and in detail.
Wei Liang's mother was pregnant out of wedlock back then. When she was pregnant with Wei Liang, she suffered a lot of slander at Mount Zhangbai. If it weren't for the pregnancy, his mother would have wanted to end her own life long ago.
Later, Wei Liang was born. In that village at the foot of Mount Zhangbai, he also became a bastard pointed at by everyone. The only warmth and safe haven in his childhood was his mother.
But his mother fell ill from overwork and resentment, and passed away before Wei Liang was an adult.
Wei Liang, who had lost his mother, came to the Wei family and never had a good day. His father looked down on his mother, so he also looked down on him. His stepmother and his half-brother had abused, beaten, and humiliated him for twenty years, and he had always endured it, enduring it while looking for an opportunity for revenge.
Speaking of this, he looked at Ye Chen and said sincerely, "Master Ye, my father promised that whoever can solve this trouble for the family will become the chairman of Wei's Pharmaceuticals. If you can help me get the position of chairman, then I will follow your lead for the rest of my life! I will obey your every command!"
