Ji Zhengjing was ecstatic when Su Binglan told him that he could meet her father. “I can’t wait to see him and see how he’s doing.”
He felt he could die happy as long as he could see Su Fengmao and entrust the Black Shadow Pavilion to him.
Su Binglan said, “Master Zhengjing, someone had poisoned you with a parasite, but I’ve already removed it from you. Still, you must rest well during this period. Once you’ve rested, we can go wherever you want.”
“Wh-what did you say?” Ji Zhengjing thought he was hallucinating. “You cured me?”
He was only able to hold on for so long because he constantly thought about Su Fengmao. Otherwise, he would have died long ago. However, he was in disbelief when Su Binglan said she had cured him.
“Did I mishear you, young lady?”
“You didn’t, Master Zhengjing. You’re recuperating quite well.” Su Binglan knew how dutiful her father was. If Su Fengmao could regain his memories, Su Binglan would want Ji Zhengjing to stay in Su Teng Village.
After all, the village was highly suitable for those who wanted to retire. If Ji Zhengjing ever got bored and wanted something to do, he could work at the comprehensive college as a martial arts teacher.
Su Binglan had already considered these things but wanted to ask for her father’s opinion first. She looked at the excited Ji Zhengjing and said, “I forgot to tell you that I’m also proficient in medicine. You can trust my skills.”
Ji Zhengjing waved and shook his head. “I wasn’t doubting you, young lady. I was just in disbelief and a little excited.”
The two chatted for a long while before Su Binglan said, “My third brother lives here, so I’ll tell him to come and meet you. He’s the most similar to my father out of all my siblings, including me.”
She headed to the door as she spoke and then called Su Wenwu in. She also wanted to tell Su Wenwu a few things. Meanwhile, Su Wenwu knew that Ji Zhengjing was his father’s benefactor and foster father.
Su Wenwu entered the room and bowed, addressing the older man, “Greetings, Master Zhengjing.”
Ji Zhengjing’s eyes lit up as soon as he saw Su Wenwu. “So, you’re the one named Su Wenwu?”
“Yes, Master Zhengjing, that’s my name.”
Ji Zhengjing was in a daze as he looked at the young man. After some thought, he sighed and said, “Indeed, you look like the younger version of your father. It’s just that your personality differs slightly.
“Your father was quiet and indifferent back then, but you look warm and friendly. Indeed, you’ve grown into a fine young man.”
Ji Zhengjing patted Su Wenwu’s shoulder and said to Su Binglan, “Your third brother looks like an excellent martial artist. Imagine what he could do if he started at a much younger age. Still, he’ll be a formidable young man if he continues practicing.”
Ji Zhengjing was delighted to see Su Wenwu.
After talking for so long, Su Binglan thought Ji Zhengjing would be hungry. When she went to prepare breakfast, Su Wenwu brought the older man to wash up.
Afterward, Su Binglan brought Ji Zhengjing some medicinal porridge, buns, and pancakes she had prepared. The older man thought it was a simple breakfast but was stunned when he took a bite.
“I didn’t expect these to be so delicious. Although I’ve eaten porridge before, it never tasted as good as this. Its flavor is punchy yet mellow. I feel warm inside after just a mouthful.”
Su Binglan was happy to see Ji Zhengjing eating so well. The older man said gratefully, “Thank you for this meal, young lady. I don’t have anything on me right now, but I’ll get you a gift soon.”
Su Binglan said, “But you’re my father’s foster parent and master. Technically, I’ll have to call you grandpa. Since that’s the case, it’s only natural for me to cook you this meal. You don’t have to get me any gifts.
“Also, my father will be pleased once he meets you and remembers everything.”
Ji Zhengjing could not wait to see Su Fengmao. A while later, Su Binglan told Su Wenwu and her husband to stay with the older man while she headed to the Ye family’s residence.
When Ye Feiran revealed to her family that she was a woman, it was like a bombshell had hit them. Most of the family members could not accept the fact that Ye Feiran was a woman.
After all, such an old-fashioned family thought that only men could inherit the family and its businesses. Soon after hearing the news, everyone in the family started arguing.
Many felt Ye Feiran was unworthy of being the heir to the family. They even wanted to remove her power and status within the family. However, some objected to that opinion and felt they should not disown her because of how capable she was.
Meanwhile, others suggested that she manage some of the family’s businesses but did not want her to be the head of the family.
Even so, Ye Feiran’s parents protected her. At that moment, someone even suggested, “Since Feiran is a woman, then the child of the branch family should inherit the head position.”
The son of the second branch was Ye Feiran’s uncle, Ye Shishan. When Ye Feiran saw him, she remembered Su Binglan telling her to be careful around Ye Shishan.
Ye Feiran became vigilant while her father said, “What say you, Shishan? Don’t you support Feiran? Everyone knows what our family went through last time. Now, we’ve regained our former prosperity, thanks to my daughter.”
“Ye Suhe, that’s not entirely true. She wouldn’t have learned so much without our family’s foundation, no matter how capable she is. She only managed to achieve her goals by using our foundation.
“You, Feiran, have lied to us for far too long. You fooled us by disguising yourself as a man. You must’ve been trying to usurp the position as the family’s head, correct?”
“He’s right, Suhe. You and your daughter had ulterior motives, yet you dare to speak so highly of your daughter. You, your wife, and your daughter have kept us in the dark for too long. It’s infuriating!”
Many vented their anger on Ye Suhe while Ye Shishan watched coldly. Perhaps he had already planned things so far ahead that others would instantly speak up for him.
Some even suggested him as the next family patriarch. Of course, some still defended and supported Ye Feiran. Ultimately, there were several factions in the family.
A small number of them supported Ye Feiram, most sided with Ye Shishan, and the others remained neutral.
Since the Ye family had many members, being the head of the family was tempting. Anyone capable enough wanted to take over that role.
After hearing everyone’s opinions, Ye Shishan’s father, one of the family’s elders, said, “Feiran has violated our family rules. We should punish her first and then decide who will take over as the head.”
“What punishment, Second Uncle?!” Ye Suhe frowned as he protected his daughter.
“You should know what the family rules are, Suhe!”
