Chapter 336

In the car.

Song Wanting was driving while saying to Ye Chen, "Master Ye, my grandfather has been talking about you for several days, fearing that you wouldn't have time to attend his birthday banquet. I believe he will be very happy after you arrive!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Since I have already promised you, how could I break my word?"

"Hmm!" Song Wanting nodded happily and said, "The person my grandfather wants to see most today is probably you."

As she spoke, Song Wanting sighed, "I don't know what's going on, but ever since my grandfather went to see Divine Physician Shi a few days ago, he has been talking about you and even told me privately that his greatest wish for this birthday banquet is for you to be present."

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

He knew why Old Master Song had been talking about wanting to see him.

He must have seen Shi Tianqi first and witnessed the miraculous effect of Shi Tianqi taking the Rejuvenation Pill, so he must be urgently hoping that he could also give him one!

Actually, it wasn't just Old Master Song who couldn't resist the temptation of the Rejuvenation Pill; all the elderly people in this world were probably unable to resist its huge attraction.

After receiving the invitation, he had indeed considered what gift he should prepare for Old Master Song.

After thinking it over, he felt that a person like Old Master Song didn't care about money, so he might as well just give him a Rejuvenation Pill.

To him, the Rejuvenation Pill wasn't anything miraculous; the most expensive cost was merely a top-grade three-hundred-year-old purple ginseng.

What's more, he had helped the Wei family's illegitimate son, Wei Liang, and in gratitude, Wei Liang had given him the family's thousand-year-old snow ginseng. If this thousand-year-old snow ginseng were used to refine medicine, the effect would be much better than the Rejuvenation Pill.

Therefore, giving Old Master Song a Rejuvenation Pill would not only sell Old Master Song a huge favor, but for him, it also wouldn't cost much; it could be said to be killing multiple birds with one stone.

At this time, Song Wanting said to Ye Chen, "Master Ye, my grandfather has invited many of your friends; you can have a good gathering with them later."

"Oh?" Ye Chen asked with a smile, "Who all did he invite?"

Song Wanting said, "The Vice Chairman of the Emgrand Group, Wang Dongxue; I heard you have a good relationship with her?"

Ye Chen nodded: "It's not bad."

Song Wanting smiled slightly and said, "She will also be coming today."

As she spoke, Song Wanting paused slightly and added, "As for the heads of the Wang and Qin families, there is naturally no need to mention them; they have always had a good relationship with you, right?"

Ye Chen laughed: "That's right."

Song Wanting added, "My grandfather also invited the Chairman of Wei Pharmaceuticals, Wei Liang; I heard he was supported by you single-handedly?"

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Wei Liang is an illegitimate son who has never been favored, and because his father and his half-brother offended me, I decided to support him."

Song Wanting pursed her lips and smiled, saying charmingly, "Master Ye, I heard that you had Hong Wu send the father and son to Mount Zhangbai to dig for ginseng?"

"Yes." Ye Chen said indifferently, "Since he looked down on Mount Zhangbai the most, I sent him there to reflect properly."

Song Wanting laughed: "I heard that the two of them are having a miserable time on Mount Zhangbai. They can only exchange for some food after digging up ginseng. A while ago, heavy snow blocked the mountains, and the father and son couldn't get in or dig for ginseng. With nothing to eat or drink, they ran to a villager's house to steal a chicken, but ended up being beaten so badly they couldn't get up, and are now huddled in a dilapidated house gnawing on tree bark."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Why do you pay attention to these things? Even I haven't been following their recent situation."

Song Wanting's pretty face flushed, and she said with some shyness, "I just felt that they brought it upon themselves, so I really wanted to know what kind of punishment they received, and then I asked around a bit."

Ye Chen laughed: "Then have you also been following the group of people who were sent to Jinxi to dig for coal?"

Song Wanting smiled and said, "I have! They seem to be really miserable. They go down into the coal mine for 12 hours every day; the working environment is very harsh, the work intensity is high, and they can't even get enough to eat. I heard that every night, a dozen people cry non-stop in the communal dormitory..."

Ye Chen said with a smile, "This is the price of harming others."

"Hmm!" Song Wanting nodded heavily and said, "These people brought it upon themselves."

While talking, Song Wanting had already driven the car into the Song family villa.

In the villa's courtyard, Wang Gang, Qin Zhenggang, Master Hong Wu, Wei Liang, and Wang Dongxue had long been waiting there. As soon as Ye Chen got out of the car, they immediately surrounded him.

Song Wanting parked the car steadily and said to Ye Chen, "Master Ye, please sit for a moment; I will open the door for you."

Ye Chen hurriedly said, "No need to be so polite; I can get out myself."

Song Wanting hurriedly said, "No, no! Master Ye, you are the honored guest today, and the proper etiquette must be observed, otherwise my grandfather will definitely scold me!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly pushed open the car door, walked around to the passenger side, and opened the door.

Ye Chen smiled helplessly, and only then did he step out of the car.

He felt that Song Wanting was making a mountain out of a molehill and being too serious, but Song Wanting felt that these etiquettes were indispensable; after all, her grandfather valued Master Ye so much.

At the same time!

On the balcony of the villa's second floor, Wu Xin looked down at the courtyard, taking in the entire performance of Song Wanting and Ye Chen.

Ever since Song Wanting drove out, he had been waiting here, hoping to wait for the honored guest Song Wanting mentioned.

He had hoped that the so-called honored guest Song Wanting personally went to pick up would be an old person, preferably an old woman, so that the possibility of a romantic rival could be completely ruled out.

But he didn't expect that Song Wanting would pick up a young man of similar age to himself!

And what shocked him even more was that Song Wanting would actually get out of the car herself to open the door for that young man!

Wu Xin couldn't help but exclaim, how much did Song Wanting value the other party to be so condescending as to personally open a car door for a young man of the same age?

Could it be that this was the man Song Wanting liked?

Was this the best grandson-in-law that Old Master Song was constantly thinking about?

It looked like it must be him!

Thinking of this, Wu Xin's face was extremely gloomy, and his heart was filled with raging anger!

He stared fixedly at Ye Chen, looking this strange man up and down.

Although Ye Chen looked somewhat handsome and had some demeanor and style, judging from his clothes, he was just a person as ordinary as could be.

Wu Xin estimated that the clothes and shoes on Ye Chen's body added up to only a few thousand yuan.

A few thousand yuan was only worth a pair of his own socks.

This kind of person looked like a stinky loser from the street; why did Song Wanting value him so much?!

Moreover, looking at Song Wanting's shy and coy posture like a young woman, one didn't need to guess to know that she must be deeply in love with this loser!

Wu Xin clenched his fists in anger, using so much force that his knuckles turned white!

Immediately, feeling that he had nowhere to vent his anger, he smashed his fist hard against the railing and growled in a low voice, "Damn it! Where did this stinky loser come from, daring to compete with me for a woman? He's really courting death!"
