Seeing that Ito Yuhiko wanted to chat privately with Ye Chen, the two stood up and left the ward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the two left, Ito Yuhiko looked at Ye Chen and said earnestly, \"Mr. Ye, I have offended you many times before. I still want to apologize to you solemnly and thank you for repaying grievances with virtue, saving my daughter, and saving the Ito family. Otherwise, if the Su family really thought that the Ito family killed the Su family's descendants, the Ito family would probably face a disaster.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, \"Mr. Ito is too polite. I saved Nanako out of friendship. As for the matter of indirectly helping the Ito family, you don't have to be too polite with me. After all, I took your money. We Chinese have an old saying: 'Take people's money, eliminate disasters for people.' I can't take the money and not do the work, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ito Yuhiko was dumbfounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason he was dumbfounded was entirely because he was shocked by Ye Chen's shamelessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen's words were very clear: 'Take people's money, eliminate disasters for people.' This meant that the 4.5 billion US dollars couldn't be taken for nothing; he had to do something for the Ito family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, now that he had eliminated the disaster for the Ito family, he could take this money with peace of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ito Yuhiko was shocked and felt a little bit of pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he really felt in his heart that his daughter's life was more precious than 45 billion US dollars, throwing away 4.5 billion US dollars for nothing still made him feel pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he knew very well in his heart that this 4.5 billion US dollars was lost, and he had no other way to get it back or recover the loss to a certain extent, so there was no need to dwell on this issue now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he smiled awkwardly and said to Ye Chen, \"Mr. Ye, your Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical's development momentum is very strong. After merging with Kobayashi Pharmaceutical, I believe it will have even broader prospects. I wonder if we can develop some cooperation on this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen laughed, \"Mr. Ito, there is actually nothing to cooperate on this matter. Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical is the foundation of my life, and I will not hand over its shares to others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ito Yuhiko hurriedly said, \"Mr. Ye, I don't want your shares, but I really want to develop some in-depth cooperation with you. In the future, the Ito family will be handed over to Nanako to manage. You and Nanako are friends, and I can see that Nanako trusts you very much. You can completely try various forms of in-depth cooperation. This is good for you and for us, and it is truly mutually beneficial.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled slightly, \"I will naturally consider this in the future. If the timing is right, I will definitely not exclude cooperating with Ms. Nanako.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ito Yuhiko breathed a sigh of relief and said earnestly, \"Mr. Ye, I can see that Nanako likes you very much. If there is any possibility between you two, then I would be truly gratified...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen immediately said, \"Mr. Ito, Ms. Nanako is still very young. It's better not to talk nonsense about such things. If it spreads out and is misunderstood by others, it will ruin Nanako's reputation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ito Yuhiko waved his hand, \"I have raised my daughter for twenty-two years, and no one in this world knows her better than I do. I can see that she really likes you, and she likes you sincerely. If possible, I would suggest you stay in Japan to develop. You have Jiuxuan Pharmaceutical, and Nanako has the Ito family. If you two can combine to become husband and wife, you will definitely become the top existence in all of Asia, and even the whole world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen smiled and asked back, \"Mr. Ito should have investigated me, right? You should know that I am already married.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know.\" Ito Yuhiko smiled slightly and said indifferently, \"So what if you are married? You are married, but didn't Nanako still fall in love with you? Therefore, for me and for Nanako, we don't care about your past and present; what we care about is your future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Ito Yuhiko said very earnestly, \"Mr. Ye, after today's events, I have understood life very clearly. Living has meaning, whether rich or poor, but when a person dies, whether rich or poor, it will all turn into a bubble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If it were before today, I would never let my daughter marry a foreign man. But at this moment, these are no longer important to me. What is important is how to make my daughter happy; what is important is how to make my daughter have the best life!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Ye has ability, strength, and the charm that a strong person should have. Nanako has cultivation, background, and both internal and external beauty. Moreover, she likes you so much. I believe you also have some feelings for Nanako in your heart. Otherwise, you would never have traveled thousands of miles to Japan, specifically gone to Kyoto to see her, saved her life, cured her injuries, and even driven hundreds of kilometers in the middle of the night to send her to Tokyo to see me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded and said, \"Mr. Ito, it cannot be denied that Nanako is indeed a very good girl, but I still say the same thing: I am already married.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ito Yuhiko waved his hand, \"Don't always use being married to fob me off. You can get divorced after being married. Even if you don't divorce, you can marry Nanako in Japan. As long as you don't go back, there will be no problem.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen shook his head and smiled, \"Mr. Ito, I do appreciate some of the valuable qualities in Ms. Nanako, but what you said is still impossible.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, Ye Chen added, \"And I won't stay in Japan. Today, or at the latest tomorrow, I will return to China.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ito Yuhiko smiled and said earnestly, \"Mr. Ye, you Chinese have an old saying: 'A good bird chooses a tree to perch on.' I have investigated your background. To be honest, your current wife is not worthy of you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen looked at Ito Yuhiko noncommittally and asked with a smile, \"Mr. Ito seems to have done a lot of research on Chinese culture. Just now you were able to say the six words 'dig deep tunnels, store grain widely,' and now you have 'a good bird chooses a tree to perch on.' It seems you are also a China expert!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ito Yuhiko said earnestly, \"When I was young, I admired Togo Heihachiro, who led the Japanese fleet to defeat the Russian navy in the Battle of Tsushima. It is said that Togo Heihachiro carried a waist token with seven characters engraved on it: 'I bow my head to Yangming all my life.' Only then did I know that Togo Heihachiro was influenced by the Chinese sage Wang Yangming all his life, so I followed in his footsteps, read Chinese history books, and learned a lot of Chinese culture and classical literature.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded and laughed, \"Mr. Ito is so studious, which is truly admirable. However, I still want to make one thing clear to you: I will not divorce my wife! So, please don't mention that again, Mr. Ito.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Ye Chen added, \"And I am about to leave Japan, so please don't mention this to Nanako, so as not to cause her any negative impact.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ito Yuhiko looked at Ye Chen and said earnestly, \"Mr. Ye, you Chinese pay attention to the cycle of fate. Look, before tonight, Nanako was injured and sitting in a wheelchair, and the doctor at that time was also swearing that she might never be able to stand up again. But now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ito Yuhiko said, reaching out and gently patting his own amputated knee, and said self-deprecatingly, \"Now, Nanako, who was declared impossible to stand up by the doctor, has stood up again, while I have lost my legs. So, this life is a cycle!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen frowned slightly and said, \"Mr. Ito, I don't quite understand what you mean by this sentence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ito Yuhiko smiled and said, \"I mean, even if you leave Japan today and swear that you will never come back, when the wheel of fate turns, it is very likely that it will still send you back here, even if you are helpless!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The same applies to your wife. Even if you think you will never divorce her, the wheel of fate might separate you one day in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything in the world is confusing. Mr. Ye is still young and has several decades of life to go. Why be so absolute now?\" \u003C\u002Fp>",1503,"2026-06-17T17:00:13.987Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","91f5e71957883698f30ff8b1b41b5f5ff80428bb41402cc5b2b15ef980997c29","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-918","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-916",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
