Chapter 2780
Facing the old master's question, Ye Chen didn't hide anything and said generously, "Knowing that your health hadn't completely recovered, especially that the situation with Alzheimer's disease was not optimistic, before you and Grandma came, I left a formation and a Rejuvenation Pill in the villa in advance. The formation will slowly release the medicinal power of the Rejuvenation Pill, allowing everyone living in the villa to have their health improved, and the worse their health is, the more medicinal power they can absorb."
The An family was stunned and couldn't speak. The old master opened his mouth to say something, but his vocal cords seemed to be half-stiffened, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.
Although the old master didn't speak, tears had already flowed out.
The old lady, standing to the side, was also teary-eyed at this time.
Back then, it was the An family who offered the sky-high price of 300 billion US dollars for the Rejuvenation Pill, but even though An Chongqiu was willing to pay 300 billion, he couldn't buy one, and instead was kicked out by Ye Chen's people.
However, who could have imagined that for the sake of the old couple's health, Ye Chen had long ago placed a Rejuvenation Pill worth 300 billion US dollars in the villa of Wanliu Villa!
Not only that, Ye Chen had now taken out two more Rejuvenation Pills. That made three Rejuvenation Pills! If they were really sold to top tycoons, it would definitely be a huge sum of money!
However, Ye Chen gave the three Rejuvenation Pills directly to the An family. This move moved the entire An family beyond words.
After a long time, the old master muttered, "Chen'er, you lost your parents at a young age and lived alone in Jin Ling. Your grandparents haven't done anything for you for twenty years, but you have done so much for us, and you don't want the An family's assets. How can we repay this kindness..."
Ye Chen said earnestly, "Grandfather, although I held grudges against you and my grandfather's family in the past, in the final analysis, you are all my relatives. Between relatives, there can be grievances, but there should be no hatred. I have the ability to save you and the An family, so I could never stand by and watch. Otherwise, the spirits of my parents in heaven could not forgive me."
Hearing this, the old master was already in tears.
The old lady, standing to the side, couldn't help but hold Ye Chen's hand and cry, "Chen'er, you are right. We are all relatives. If you can think this way, Grandma can die without regrets."
Ye Chen smiled, "Grandma, you are overstating it."
Having said this, he handed the two Rejuvenation Pills to the two elders again and said earnestly, "Grandfather, Grandma, saying so much is just to tell you two that although the Rejuvenation Pill is precious, it is nothing compared to your health and longevity. You two can just take it with peace of mind, without having too much psychological burden."
An Chongqiu, standing to the side, also quickly persuaded, "Yes, Dad, Mom, you two are old, and Dad's body still has many problems. You need such a divine medicine to stabilize your body the most, and this is also Chen'er's filial piety. You two shouldn't decline anymore."
The old lady didn't dare to make a decision on her own, so she looked at the old master with inquiring eyes.
The old master hesitated again and again, looked at Ye Chen, and said, "Chen'er, Grandfather knows that this Rejuvenation Pill is your filial piety. Your grandmother and I can accept it, but you must also accept the An family's shares and assets! Whether you have money or not, whether you lack money or not, this is your grandparents' intention. We accept your filial piety, and you accept our intention. This is what it really means to be a family!"
Ye Chen's three uncles and aunt nodded in agreement. Especially the second uncle, An Kaifeng, said without hesitation, "Chen'er, from now on, the An family's assets and resources are all at your disposal. Second Uncle will be your assistant from now on. You can order Second Uncle to do anything!"
An Chongqiu also smiled and said, "Yes, Chen'er, from now on, the An family will be decided by you, which will definitely be more secure than us! You must not refuse Grandfather's intention!"
For the An family, Ye Chen had saved them too many times and had generously taken out three Rejuvenation Pills one after another. Facing this affection, the An family kept it in mind. The An family had never owed anyone favors before, but now, they owed Ye Chen favors that they could never repay no matter what. So they were all looking forward to Ye Chen being able to accept the An family's assets, so that they could feel more at ease in their hearts.
Ye Chen said at this time, "Grandfather, I can agree to accept the An family's assets, but accepting them is not for now. After all, in the eyes of the Poqing Society, they don't know of my existence yet. If the An family transfers the assets to my name directly, I'm afraid my identity will be exposed on the same day. So you can hold these assets for me for now. It won't be too late to give them to me after I solve the Poqing Society."
Hearing this, the old master nodded slightly.
He also knew that for assets, verbal promises had no meaning.
To give money, it must be given to the other party's account;
To give shares and real estate, it must be changed to the other party's name.
However, Ye Chen's identity was indeed not suitable for exposure now, so the An family naturally couldn't transfer the assets to his name now. So no matter whether Ye Chen really agreed or pretended to agree, the part of the assets the An family prepared to give him could only be held by the An family.
Therefore, the old master said to Ye Chen, "Chen'er, keep these two Rejuvenation Pills first. It won't be too late to give them to Grandfather after you solve the Poqing Society and the An family fulfills its promise!"
Ye Chen shook his head, "Grandfather, you just said that the Rejuvenation Pill is my filial piety, and the assets are your intention. These two things cannot be mentioned in the same breath no matter what. My filial piety is not to exchange for your intention. Why do you have to wait until the intention arrives before you are willing to accept my filial piety?"
An Chongqiu, standing to the side, couldn't help but persuade, "Yes, Dad, the Rejuvenation Pill is Chen'er's filial piety to you and Mom. Why do you keep declining and refusing?"
An Qishan looked at him, then at Ye Chen, sighed, and said frankly, "Sigh! To tell you the truth, I want this Rejuvenation Pill more than anyone else. After eating it, not only will I not have to suffer from Alzheimer's disease, but I can also live at least ten or twenty more years. For someone of my age, this is the most precious thing in the world, none other..."
Having said this, he couldn't help but say shamefully, "However, thinking of Changying and Chengxi being murdered, I couldn't protect them, nor could I help them take revenge. Thinking of Chen'er suffering so much in the past 20 years, I feel ashamed. I am sorry for my daughter and son-in-law, and sorry for my grandson, but in the end, it was my grandson who saved my life again and again. This makes me even more ashamed. If I accept this Rejuvenation Pill, I will have my life, but I will have lost my face..."
What An Qishan said came from the bottom of his heart.
Wanting it but not having the face to want it—this was his psychological journey at the moment.
Ye Chen had guessed his grandfather's knot, so he said, "Grandfather, you don't have to have too much psychological burden. Before tonight, I had many grievances against you because I always felt that my parents' return to China from the United States was related to your cold attitude back then. But today I learned that my parents' choice to return to China was not because of your attitude, but because they wanted to return to China to explore the mysteries of the "Nine Mysteries Scripture Preface." Originally, those grievances were not enough to rise to hatred, and coupled with figuring out all this tonight, I have completely let go of those grievances in my heart."
As he said this, Ye Chen added, "And I have not only let go of you, but I have also let go of more than half of my grandfather's family. Although it was indeed he who forced my parents out of the Ye family back then, now it seems that all this was my father's own choice. Even if he had strongly supported keeping my father in the Ye family back then, I think my father would definitely have left."
Having said this, Ye Chen sighed slightly and smiled, "Today is a good day. Not only did I recognize you two, my aunt, and my uncles, but I also learned some past events about my parents that I didn't know before, and solved a knot in my heart for twenty years. It is truly worth celebrating!"
Hearing this, An Qishan was already in tears.
The main reason he didn't want to accept the Rejuvenation Pill was that he felt he didn't deserve this Rejuvenation Pill.
Even if it was his grandson's filial piety, he still felt that he, the grandfather, was not qualified and didn't deserve such heavy filial piety from his grandson.
When he heard that Ye Chen no longer blamed him, the huge stone in his heart finally fell.
Ye Chen looked at An Qishan at this time and said, "Grandfather, on such a worth-celebrating day, I really want to drink a little with you. You should be happy first, take the Rejuvenation Pill, and then drink a few more cups when we drink later!"
Seeing that Ye Chen had already said this, An Qishan unloaded the burden in his heart and nodded heavily, "Good! Then Chen'er, you will drink a few cups with Grandfather later!"
Grandma, standing to the side, was also very happy and said, "Chen'er, Grandma asked Mr. Hong to prepare materials and made you a dish of eggplant boxes that you loved to eat when you were a child. I don't know if you still remember the taste of the eggplant boxes Grandma made!"
Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "Of course I remember. The eggplant boxes are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant and crispy. When you bite into them, the filling is hot, and it's the most fragrant when you slurp it."
Grandma was overjoyed, stepped forward to hold Ye Chen's arm, and said incomparably happily, "Let's go, let's go to the dining room! The meal has been prepared long ago!"
Ye Chen didn't move and said earnestly, "Grandfather, Grandma, take the Rejuvenation Pill before we go to eat."
An Qishan nodded and said to his old partner, "Since it's our grandson's filial piety, we must accept it no matter how heavy it is! We owe Chen'er so much affection, only by living longer can we have the opportunity to repay it!"
Hearing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly and didn't speak.
He knew that the old man needed a reason to convince himself, and as for repayment, he didn't need it at all.
Seeing this, the old lady didn't refuse anymore, nodded and sighed, "It's our grandson's filial piety, so naturally we can't let him down..."
Ye Chen struck while the iron was hot and handed the medicine to the two.
At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that sending medicine to the elderly was indeed troublesome and laborious, and it was never straightforward enough.
Unlike a rough man like Hong Wu, if he gave him medicine, he would kneel on the ground with a thud, hold the medicine above his head with both hands, and after receiving the medicine, kowtow on the ground and say, "Thank you, Master Ye, for the medicine," and that would be the end of it.
While sighing, Ye Chen said to the two, "Grandfather, Grandma, take the medicine quickly, and then we will go to eat. We have been chatting for so long, and I am already hungry!"
The two looked at each other, then took the medicine, looked at each other, looked at the medicine, and then looked at Ye Chen and their four children, and then the two took the medicine at the same time and slowly put it into their mouths.
Except for Ye Chen, the other An family members, as well as Li Yalin, all widened their eyes and watched the two elders without blinking, wanting to see with their own eyes the effect of the Rejuvenation Pill.
Even Ye Chen's eldest uncle, An Chongqiu, had only seen the effect of others taking a quarter of a Rejuvenation Pill at the auction, and had never seen the scene of a whole Rejuvenation Pill being taken.
And the two elders kept looking at each other, wanting to see the effect of time flowing backward from each other's faces.
And the Rejuvenation Pill never disappointed anyone.
Once the medicinal effect took effect, it was immediately like a slide show accelerating in reverse.
The two elders' snow-white hair quickly showed some mottled black, and the deep wrinkles on their faces seemed to be filled in an instant, and their loose faces clearly had the ability to resist gravity.
Looking at their partners who had spent most of their lives with them and watched each other grow old bit by bit, they suddenly began to become younger at an extreme speed. Both were surprised and happy. This wonderful experience made the feelings between them sublimate again.
And the bigger change was in the two people's bodies.
The old master's brain, which had been ravaged by Alzheimer's disease, began to become clearer and clearer.
He was originally an extremely intelligent and quick-thinking person, but he had Alzheimer's disease, which was like the engine of a legendary sports car having an irreparable problem, with slower and slower speed and weaker and weaker power.
However, now he could clearly feel that the feeling of his brain running at high speed had returned. Memories that he couldn't capture before surged back in an instant, but he didn't feel overwhelmed, but felt that everything that had collapsed before was being quickly rebuilt in his brain.
And the old lady felt that her physical state had been greatly improved, allowing her to find the feeling of twenty years ago in one go.
This feeling of time flowing backward made her excited and ecstatic, but in the next second, she suddenly covered her face and burst into tears.
Because, twenty years ago, it was the year her beloved eldest daughter and son-in-law were murdered.
The old master was the same as her. After personally experiencing the feeling of being twenty years younger, he also thought of the death of his daughter and son-in-law, and for a time, his emotions collapsed and he cried silently.
Others didn't have personal experience, so they didn't know why they were crying like tearful people, and thought they were just happy, so they cried with joy.
Therefore, they stepped forward to comfort them one after another.
An Chongqiu said, "Dad, Mom! Why are you two crying? Seeing you two become so much younger, we are too happy to be happy!"
"Yes!" An Youyou also said repeatedly, "Dad, Mom, your features have really become more than ten years younger in one go! It's truly magical!"
The two elders looked at each other and saw why the other was crying.
The old master wiped his tears first, gently hugged the old lady in his arms, and comforted her like coaxing a child, "Alright, alright, don't cry, don't cry. Today is a worth-celebrating day. In front of Chen'er, let's not shed tears anymore!"
The old lady wiped away her tears, nodded heavily, and said with a forced smile, "I won't cry, I won't cry. Chen'er is hungry, let's hurry up and eat! I have waited for this meal for twenty years, and I can't wait for another minute!"
