Chapter 3416: Fair and Just

Ye Changmin heard this and felt no disappointment, but rather sharply realized that this was an opportunity Ye Chen had given her.

For now, the Ye family generally disappointed Ye Chen greatly; among them, the least disappointed was naturally the old master, and next, perhaps herself.

Don't look at how she had offended Ma Lan, but compared to her elder brother Ye Changkong and the others, she was still somewhat stronger.

Moreover, besides the old master, only she knew there was still half a Rejuvenation Pill as a reward, which meant she had already won at the starting line.

As long as she worked hard in the future, she would surely gain Ye Chen's better impression.

Thus, she could hardly suppress her excitement and said: "Chen'er, rest assured, Auntie will always put the Ye family's interests first from now on!"

Ye Chen nodded and handed the half Rejuvenation Pill to Ye Zhongquan, saying: "Grandfather, let you take care of this half Rejuvenation Pill."

Ye Zhongquan was a bit dazed.

Have me keep it?

Aren't you afraid I won't be able to control myself and eat this half too?

This is a Rejuvenation Pill, possibly the thing I most want to obtain for the rest of my life, even the only thing I want.

Moreover, I have never eaten a whole Rejuvenation Pill.

Ye Chen now split one Rejuvenation Pill into two, giving half to himself and entrusting the other half to himself for safekeeping, which truly tests his willpower.

So he quickly said: "Chen'er, this medicine is worth a city; I am just an old fool, if I fail to protect it well, lose it, or have it snatched or stolen, that would be a great loss, and I couldn't explain it to you, so I think it's better you keep it yourself, what do you think?"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "It's fine, Grandfather; only we few here know about this, as long as we don't speak of it outside, no one will know."

Actually, Ye Chen's reason for letting the old master keep this half Rejuvenation Pill was a kind of dark humor.

And incidentally, to test and temper the old master's will.

The old master also saw Ye Chen's mind was made up, and helplessly nodded, saying: "Then I will surely keep it well."

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Grandfather, why not eat your half now, to avoid long nights and many dreams?"

Ye Zhongquan certainly wanted to eat it, but in front of the Gu family, he felt somewhat embarrassed.

However, seeing Ye Chen say this, he had nothing to be reserved about.

After all, this thing is of immense value to me and of great significance; eating it would have immediate effect.

People, after all, are old; being able to feel several years younger on this basis would feel like heaven and earth apart.

So he picked up half the medicine, carefully placed it in his mouth, then closed his eyes to feel the pure medicinal power.

The Gu couple had already experienced taking a whole Rejuvenation Pill, so seeing the old master take half and instantly become much younger, they were not surprised.

After all, this degree of shock is still much less than what just happened to themselves.

But Ye Changmin beside them, seeing her father seemingly become six or seven years younger in an instant, was truly shocked.

At this moment, she finally understood why the old master obeyed Ye Chen's words and even handed over control of the Ye family—this temptation for an old person is simply too great.

And she, looking at the half Rejuvenation Pill on the tea table, felt her desire and urgency reach its peak at this moment.

At the later family banquet, Ye Changmin was a hundred times more diligent than before.

She seemed to define herself as a servant of the Ye family, not the Ye family's eldest daughter.

This sudden yin energy even made the Gu couple feel somewhat unable to cope, as if they could not bear it.

But the ever-proud Ye Changming did not feel this was wronging herself; on the contrary, her heart was 100% willing.

……

After dinner, Ye Chen received a call from Tawana.

She said on the phone: "Mr. Ye, tonight we need to do a run-through; do you and Miss Gu have time to come over and prepare together? After all, the first concert is coming up soon, and your dance partner hasn't been decided yet."

Ye Chen thought about having to dance with two women and felt inexplicably heavy-headed.

What kind of person does this?

But he also knew that a gentleman's word is hard to take back; since he had promised, he certainly couldn't go back on it.

Moreover, such things should either not be done or done as well as possible; Gu Qiuyi trusts him so much, he certainly cannot disappoint her.

So he said to Tawana: "I'll tell Gu Nannan and see her schedule."

"Okay, Mr. Ye, I'll wait for your news."

Ye Chen hung up and asked Gu Qiuyi: "Nannan, Tawana wants us to come over to prepare the run-through; do you think we still need to go tonight?"

"Of course!" Gu Qiuyi exclaimed excitedly: "Singing is no problem for me, singing his songs is no problem either; mainly it's the accompaniment dance for 'Assassin,' we need to nail down the timing."

After saying that, she checked the time and added: "Let's go now! Let Mom and Dad stay here to chat with Grandfather Ye."

Ye Chen decisively agreed and told everyone: "I'll accompany Nannan to the National Sports Center to rehearse the concert program with Tawana; you few don't rush, chat slowly."

Gu Yanzhong laughed: "Fine, you young people go attend to your own affairs; we middle-aged and old folks will chat more here."

Ye Zhongquan also said: "Yes, Chen'er, go with Nannan to attend to business; don't worry about us."

Ye Chen bade farewell to everyone with Gu Qiuyi, then drove that inconspicuous business car toward the National Sports Center.

On the way, Gu Qiuyi kept connecting her phone via Bluetooth to the car stereo, playing her song "Assassin" on repeat.

Ye Chen listened all the way and basically memorized the tune and lyrics of that song.

At this moment, the National Sports Center had all stages, lighting, and sound equipment already set up.

Tawana's backing band had already begun tuning, and the lighting and sound engineers were making final adjustments.

Seeing Ye Chen and Gu Qiuyi arrive, Tawana personally walked down the stage to greet them and said very eagerly: "I've already had the sound engineer download your song 'Assassin' music file and the original MV; we'll go through it later, mainly I want to know how to choreograph dance for Mr. Ye."

Gu Qiuyi smiled and said: "Originally this song had a female lead and a male lead, so in our previous performances, I myself did not participate in the accompaniment dance; the five was done by a male dancer and a female dancer in ancient costumes together."

She looked at Ye Chen and continued with a giggle: "But this time, after great effort convincing Ye Chen's older brother to accompany dance for this song, I say what I will, I cannot give the female dancer's opportunity to others."

Saying that, she suddenly thought of Tawana, hurriedly corrected: "No, no, logically speaking, we two should both play the female lead, since we each sing a part of the song; so when I sing, Ye Chen's older brother and I accompany dance together, and when you sing, Ye Chen's older brother and you accompany dance together—do you think this arrangement is reasonable?"

Tawana happily laughed: "Fair and just, very reasonable!"
