Chapter 190: The Unfilial Son

Furthermore, looking at how formally Wang Xueqin and her husband were dressed, they must be planning to go out.

"This is what I gave to Mom," Ye Xinyu said as she walked out holding two fried eggs. "She and Dad are going to a party today, and her clothes are mine too; our figures are about the same."

"This is what I gave to you!" Chen Yu said, feeling somewhat incredulous.

"What's wrong, Chen Yu? Don't I have the right to dispose of the things you gave me?" Ye Xinyu asked, looking as if it were a matter of course.

"You do, of course you do, do whatever you want." Chen Yu was truly angry, but he found it difficult to vent.

"Mom, Dad, you're up so early." At this moment, Ye Chenguang walked out. "By the way, Chen Yu, what is all that stuff you have in the basement? It looks like medicinal herbs to me, but not quite."

"You were the one who pried open the lock to the basement?" Chen Yu's expression changed instantly.

The Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures stored inside were all extremely precious medicinal herbs; not to mention the cost, the main thing was that some of these items couldn't be bought with money. If this bastard found out, these things would definitely not be safe.

"Yeah, so what?" Ye Chenguang sat down, bit into a piece of bread, and shouted toward the kitchen, "Xinyu, bring me a glass of milk."

"Without my permission, why did you pry my lock and touch my things?" Chen Yu was furious. "Besides, you can pour your own milk; what right do you have to order Xinyu around?"

"What do you mean by that, Chen Yu? I just took a look, so what? Are your things inlaid with gold and Jade, so precious that they can't even be touched?" Ye Chenguang said angrily.

"Chenguang just touched a few of your things, you don't have to be so angry," Ye Taihe said, displeased.

"Those things cannot be touched carelessly," Chen Yu said, feeling somewhat agitated.

"Fine, I get it. Chenguang, don't touch things carelessly in the future; after all, this isn't your own home." Wang Xueqin wiped away a tear hypocritically. "What does it matter how well my daughter is doing? Her own family has to be careful and cautious just staying here for a few days."

This woman was truly a drama queen, portraying her own weakness, pitifulness, and helplessness to the fullest.

Chen Yu was greatly enraged; Wang Xueqin was using retreat as a means of advance to solicit Ye Xinyu's sympathy.

Sure enough, Ye Xinyu, who had just walked out of the kitchen, sank her face. "Chen Yu, my brother was just curious and took a look, what's the big deal? Are your things that precious?"

"This isn't a question of whether they are precious or not. Since I put a lock on them, it certainly means the things inside are relatively important. Is it appropriate to pry the lock and rummage through everything until it's a mess?" Chen Yu furrowed his brows.

"Sigh, let's go. We aren't welcome here anyway," Ye Taihe said as he stood up.

"Dad, sit down. Chen Yu, if you don't welcome my family, then I will leave with them right now," Ye Xinyu said with a tense face.

Chen Yu looked at Ye Xinyu in disbelief. He truly did not know how to express his feelings; he did not understand why Ye Xinyu had suddenly become like this.

"I didn't say I didn't welcome them. You don't need to be like this. You all eat; I'm going out for a bit." Chen Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around, and left.

Xinglinju. Upon learning that Chen Yu would be seeing patients today, those seeking medical treatment had formed a long line early in the morning. The name "Xinglin Physician" had already become famous.

"Chen Yu, aren't you going to the west side today to take a look? When are you heading over?" Yan Roujin's call came through.

"This afternoon. Today is my scheduled time for seeing patients at Xinglinju, I cannot break my word to people," Chen Yu said with a smile. "Besides, I need to handle the matters from last night today; I'll come find you later."

"Alright, I'll go to the company first, then we'll go," Yan Roujin nodded.

Currently, more than ten Tianyun Pharmaceutical stores under the Xinglinju brand had already opened, and the remaining ones were also undergoing urgent renovations. The medicine from Xinglinju Tianyun Pharmaceutical was cheap and had miraculous effects; it had been incredibly popular as soon as it hit the market.

Zhao Anran acted as Chen Yu's assistant, writing prescriptions and making diagnoses. Her delicate, graceful handwriting was very beautiful.

"Little Doctor Chen and Anran are truly a perfect match," a patient on the side praised.

"That's right, the two of them are so well-suited; it's really great that they can be together."

"Uncles and aunts, please stop joking. Chen Yu is my brother," Zhao Anran explained with a blushing face.

"Haha, 'brother' in the romantic sense, we all understand," a group of people laughed heartily.

No matter how much Zhao Anran explained, it was of no use; the more she explained, the worse it got. She looked at Chen Yu helplessly, and Chen Yu could only offer a bitter smile.

The long, snake-like line moved slowly. By eleven o'clock in the morning, the crowd had gradually thinned.

"Little Chen, stay for lunch," Zhao Lao said with a smile.

"No, I still have some things to handle today. Another time," Chen Yu smiled, packed his things, and prepared to leave.

Just at this moment, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class slowly drove over and stopped at the entrance of Xinglinju. A driver stepped out from the driver's seat, opened the back door, and respectfully welcomed a man out of the car.

The man was dressed in a white suit and wearing sunglasses, looking like a successful person who had returned from overseas. He threw the cigar from his mouth onto the ground, stepped on it to extinguish it, and then walked forward.

"Hello, is there anything you need?" Zhao Anran asked.

"Haha, Anran, long time no see. You've actually grown up so much," the man said, taking off his glasses and laughing heartily.

"You are... Uncle?" Zhao Anran was startled. Wasn't this Zhao Jingde, her uncle who had gone far away overseas when she was young?

"What are you back for? You unfilial son!" Zhao Lao, who had heard the news and rushed over, couldn't help but be furious upon seeing Zhao Jingde.

Chen Yu was slightly stunned. So this was Zhao Lao's youngest son. He remembered Zhao Anran saying that her parents passed away early, and her only uncle had fallen out with her grandfather and lived far away overseas.

"Dad, why be so angry? It's been over a decade; you could at least give me a pleasant look now that I'm back," Zhao Jingde said with a chuckle.

"Selling the medicinal formulas passed down by the Zhao Family to foreign devils overseas—it's a miracle I didn't break your legs to comfort the spirits of our ancestors in heaven. You still have the face to come back?"

Zhao Lao said angrily, "Get out right now, or I'm afraid I won't be able to stop myself from laying a hand on you."

"Dad, that's old news from over a decade ago; why bring it up? Besides, the medicine I produced using the formulas was always a bit off. You must have held something back, right?" Zhao Jingde said with an awkward smile.

"So, you've come back to get the formulas?" Zhao Lao glanced at him.

"That's one reason. Secondly, I want to invest in the Xinglinju pharmacies. I want to expand the Xinglinju brand overseas and make money from the foreigners," Zhao Jingde said with a chuckle.

"So you've set your sights on the Xinglinju pharmacy?" Zhao Lao sneered. "Well, you've got a sharp eye, seeing that Xinglinju has grown big and made a name for itself, you've come up with another crooked idea."

"Dad, you can't say it like that. The pharmacy's reputation is booming right now, and business is very prosperous. I've also done market research and found that the effects of several of Tianyun's medicines are quite good."

"If we open this pharmacy overseas, I think the business will definitely be very prosperous. My judgment can't be wrong."

"One word: get out. Xinglinju has nothing to do with you now," Zhao Lao said, pointing outside.

"Hehe, Dad, you can't say it like that. Xinglinju was passed down by our ancestors; it should be said that I have a share in it too. If Tianyun uses the Xinglinju brand name, it should be with my consent," Zhao Jingde said.
