He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 154 The Secret First Revealed

Lin Zhenbiao never imagined that his grandson had become so bewitched.

His eyes immediately turned cold. He glared at Jiang Yan Hui, his tone already tinged with disdain, "Yan Hui, hasn't your grandfather told you that romantic feelings are completely unnecessary for a successful man! I've let you roam around all these years, not so you could live like this for the rest of your life. Have you really forgotten what your grandfather told you before?"

"Grandpa, these things have absolutely nothing to do with Sisi, do they?"

"How could it not be related?"

Lin Zhenbiao scoffed, "I knew you'd been acting recklessly lately, that's why I stepped in to help you. If I hadn't sent people to stop your father's men, your parents might already be divorced. Don't you think about what your mother has been after all her life? Being Jiang Jizhen's wife, that title means nothing to her anymore, but why do I insist on putting her in that position? It's because you're the only bloodline of our Lin family! Yan Hui, you can have any woman you want, but that little girl can't help you accomplish anything great; she'll only be a burden!"

"Grandpa..."

"Don't think I don't know anything. I'm not in City A, but someone must have told me about what you did."

Lin Zhenbiao glanced at Jiang Yanhui and snorted, "Not only did you almost tear down her hospital for her sake a while ago, but that incident was also due to women's jealousy. It's laughable!"

Jiang Yan was not surprised that Lin Zhenbiao would know about Sisi's kidnapping.

But now, hearing what he said, he keenly grasped something, and his sword-like eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

He looked up and stared straight at Lin Zhenbiao. "Grandpa, do you know about that matter?"

"Do you think anything can escape my eyes? The woman you used to like is now turning around and biting that little girl, and she's even conspiring with another man to turn you brothers against each other."

These few simple words have cleared away the fog that has been troubling Jiang Yanhui's mind.

He couldn't understand why Jiang Yansen didn't need to do such a thing.

Even if he did it, given his personality, he would never leave any trouble behind.

But this time, he actually admitted openly that he had conspired with that Blood Wolf...

He had considered other possibilities, but he never dreamed that the matter would be related to Yu Caiyi.

How did she...

How could she do such a thing?

She actually targeted Sisi; was it all just to kill two birds with one stone?

Jiang Yan Hui's thin lips gradually pursed, her face darkening little by little, and the hands behind her back seemed to clench even tighter.

Lin Zhenbiao sensed the growing hostility emanating from Jiang Yan Hui, and instead chuckled, "So you still don't know the whole story? Never mind, Yan Hui, I've already spoken with your father. He won't divorce your mother, and naturally, he can't marry that Guan Feng Ru. Let's just let this matter drop. Of course, there are conditions to my doing this."

"What are the conditions?" Jiang Yan asked Lin Zhenbiao calmly.

"Do you remember your Uncle Nan's daughter? The one who always insisted on marrying you when she was little. She spent the last few years studying in France and is now a well-known designer. She's grown into a beautiful and accomplished young woman. She's called me occasionally these past few years and asked about you. She's coming back next month, and your Uncle Nan and I have already agreed that you two will get engaged as soon as she gets back..."

"Grandpa, are you kidding me?"

Although she knew roughly what he was going to say, Jiang Yan Hui did not expect him to bring up the engagement so abruptly.

He had no recollection of anyone being Nan Shu's daughter.

Let alone when he was a child, he can't even remember the names of the women around him.

Now suddenly a woman appears and wants to get engaged to him.

This time, he didn't even bother to offer a fake smile, and his tone was extremely displeased. "I disagree! Grandpa, I can accommodate you on other matters, but you shouldn't interfere in my personal affairs."

"I don't want to get involved?"

Lin Zhenbiao's lips darkened, clearly angered. "Do you think I'll just let you run wild like this if I don't interfere? What's so great about that girl? She's not good enough for you in terms of status or position. Your Uncle Nan's daughter is prettier and more talented than her. Most importantly, she can definitely help you maintain your position."

Seeing that Jiang Yan Hui's expression was getting increasingly off, Lin Zhen Biao wisely chose to play the family card, and his tone softened considerably, "Yan Hui, your grandfather is getting old. Dr. Chen has also said that my health is deteriorating. The only people your grandfather still cares about in this world are you and your mother. Now that your mother is like this, if you don't have a certain status, your older brother might skin you alive."

“Do you know what kind of status your Uncle Nan has? What is it about his daughter that makes her unworthy of you? I will never say anything about a man having affairs outside. But Yan Hui, your grandfather is making this clear today: only I can choose your wife.”

Lin Zhenbiao's words were a fine line between offense and defense. Jiang Yanhui had always respected her maternal grandfather, and no matter how dissatisfied she was, she wouldn't say anything too harsh after hearing what he said.

He knew that saying anything more now would be pointless; his grandfather's decisions weren't easily changed, especially at this critical juncture. He suppressed his emotions, put on his signature faint smile, and said, seemingly genuinely, "Grandpa, do you really look down on your grandson? I'm more capable than you think."

Lin Zhenbiao had no doubt about this, and patted Jiang Yanhui on the shoulder, "Of course your grandfather believes in you, but as a man, the greater your ambition, the greater your power."

Jiang Yan knew that Lin Zhenbiao was going to lecture her again. He had never been very interested in these things, so he gave a half-hearted "hmm" and said, "Grandpa, I think it's almost lunchtime. How about I have something to eat with you?"

When Lin Zhenbiao heard that he wanted to have dinner with him, he naturally agreed.

The two left the hospital and found a restaurant to eat something.

Jiang Yan coaxed Lin Zhenbiao into going home happily, and only then did he return to the hospital.

He had just parked his car in the hospital parking lot, his hand still touching the seatbelt, when he suddenly saw Guan Fengru looking hurried in the rearview mirror.

Because Jiang Jizhen was not seen, nor was the familiar car.

Jiang Yan's heart sank slightly, and she instinctively stopped unbuckling her seatbelt, staring intently at Guan Fengru.

She stood beside a black car, looking nervous. She cautiously glanced around before taking out her phone. Jiang Yan could see clearly that she had switched the SIM card before making a call.

Because the car windows were closed and the distance was far, he could only see her making a phone call.

He didn't understand lip reading either, so he couldn't hear a single word she said.

However, her call didn't last long, less than two minutes, before she hung up.

Then he changed his number again, and only left after making sure no one around had noticed.

Jiang Yan leaned his tall frame against the driver's seat, squinting as he watched the figure in the rearview mirror walk far away and disappear around the corner. Only then did he purse his lips, open the car door, and get out.

With a slight twitch of her long, slender eyebrows, Jiang Yanhui let out an almost inaudible hum, one hand bracing against the car door and the other on her hip.

The fingers tapped the car door handle absentmindedly, and a chilling tapping sound echoed in the quiet, empty parking lot.

Guan Fengru, did he miss something?

Ye Zhenghao and Siyi left the ward and waited directly at the door of the operating room. A nurse had told them that Ye Xiongming's heart had reached the point of failure.

He had been traumatized, so he is currently undergoing emergency treatment in the operating room, with the hospital director personally taking charge.

The two sat outside the operating room without eating lunch. Siyi was so hungry that she was numb, and her mind was blank. She kept thinking about what had happened in the ward earlier...

Who was the last old man to come in?

He seems to be some kind of relative of Jiang Yanhui, could he be her grandfather?

Or perhaps... my maternal grandfather?

My head hurts.

Her temples throbbed as if a giant frog was jumping around inside them, and she felt a lump in her throat that she couldn't swallow.

Suddenly, footsteps came from not far away. Ye Zhenghao and Siyi turned around and saw Zheng Muyan walking towards them from afar.

Siyi stood up in surprise. "Senior brother... what brings you here?"

Zheng Muyan, dressed in a suit and pulling a suitcase, looked hurried, as if he had just returned from outside. He tugged at his collar before saying, "I went to B City for a lawsuit these past few days. I called your cell phone as soon as I got back, but I couldn't get through. Then your older brother told me that Uncle Ye..."

"Still in the operating room."

Siyi's voice was exhausted, and she looked very haggard. Zheng Muyan couldn't help but feel sorry for her. He said to Ye Zhenghao, "Zhenghao, I have something I want to say to Siyi in private. I'll take her for a walk in the garden. You wait here for me. Call me when Uncle Ye comes out."

Seeing that Siyi's face was pale and she was no longer as radiant as before, Ye Zhenghao thought for a moment and said, "Take her to get something to eat."

Siyi couldn't eat anything; her stomach felt hard, like it was blocked with a bunch of stones. "Big brother, I have no appetite."

"Even if you don't have an appetite, go and eat something. I want to eat even if you don't. You go with Mu Yan first and bring me some back."

Since Ye Zhenghao had already said that, Siyi didn't know what else to say. Zheng Muyan seemed to really have something to ask her, so after thinking about it, she followed him out of the hospital.

"Siyi, you don't look well. Don't worry too much. Uncle Ye is a lucky man and he'll be fine."

Zheng Muyan opened the car door for her, let her get in, and then considerately asked, "What would you like to eat? I'll take you there."

"whatever."

Siyi supported her forehead with one hand, looking weak and listless. "I'm not very hungry. Anything is fine with me. Take some to my older brother. He hasn't eaten anything all day."

Seeing her haggard appearance, Zheng Muyan didn't ask any more questions, secretly thinking that he would take her out for a nice meal later. As soon as they got in the car, Siyi remembered something and asked him, "Senior brother, is there something urgent you need me for?"

As Zheng Muyan started the engine, he smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just came to say goodbye. I'm going home for a while." He turned to look deeply at Siyi, "It might be a month, so I'm letting you know in advance."

"Going home?" Siyi remembered that Zheng Muyan was indeed not a native of City A, but she had never asked about his family situation over the years. Now that he had brought it up, she casually replied, "Senior brother, I've never known where your home is..."

The screeching of brakes made Siyi's heart skip a beat. The sounds behind her had long since disappeared into the air. Zheng Muyan was faster than her. He pulled Siyi into his arms and frowned as he looked over. In the car not far away was... Jiang Yanhui!

Siyi lifted her head from Zheng Muyan's embrace and saw the familiar yet arrogant sports car. Her heart skipped a beat. She originally wanted to struggle out of Zheng Muyan's arms, but before she could move, she saw Jiang Yanhui get out of the car with a gloomy expression. He walked directly to the car door, reached out and pulled, but Zheng Muyan had locked the door. Siyi saw that his alluring peach blossom eyes were full of ferocity. She kicked the car door hard with a thud. His voice was suppressed yet cold, and because it was through the car window, it sounded even more deep and hoarse.

"come out."

Siyi was already in a bad mood, and thinking about what he had said in front of so many people, she felt even more powerless. Half of the reason her father was in the operating room was because of him, but what was wrong with him now? Who was he giving her that attitude for?

He's not the only one who got hurt today.

Why is he so mean to me?

She was angry, resentful, and deeply aggrieved, but even more so, she was exhausted. What could she do to make things a little better for both of them?

"This madman, Siyi, don't be afraid, I'll go out."

Zheng Muyan looked at Jiang Yanhui outside the car, his eyes and brows filled with a fierce aura. He was still unaware of everything and thought that Jiang Yanhui wanted to bully Siyi again. He held her tightly and snorted coldly. He reached out to press the central control button to go out, but Siyi grabbed his hand.

"Senior brother, please don't..."
