A few minutes later, all the servants of Purple Mountain Villa returned to their rooms.
The careful Lao Zhang even asked Qiu Yingshan to temporarily stop monitoring the entire Purple Mountain Villa. After all, it was about his own lady's reputation, so naturally he could not leave any hidden dangers.
After everything was settled, Lao Zhang called Lin Waner to report, and then Lin Waner said to Ye Chen: "Master, Lao Zhang and the others are ready, let's go down."
Ye Chen nodded and said politely: "Thank you, Miss Lin."
Lin Wan'er smiled sweetly: "Young master, you don't have to be polite to me."
Ye Chen put the paintings with the calligraphy away and walked out of the top-floor courtyard with Lin Wan'er.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the courtyard, I saw three elderly people standing respectfully side by side at the end of the long stone steps below.
What Ye Chen didn't expect was that among them, there was a big shot that he often saw on TV, that is, Sun Zhidong from the capital.
When he was young, he often heard the elders around him mention the legendary and inspirational life experiences of this great man, and even visited him with his father. However, it was not until today that he learned that he was actually one of the orphans adopted by Lin Waner.
Ye Chen and Lin Waner walked down the stone steps together. The three old men said to Lin Waner with respect, "Hello, Miss."
After saying that, he looked at Ye Chen again and said with the same respect: "Hello, Mr. Ye!"
Ye Chen was a little uncomfortable for a while. After all, the combined age of these three people was almost 300 years old. It did feel a bit inconsistent to be so polite to a 28-year-old young man like himself.
So Ye Chen said with the same respect: "Hello, three old gentlemen."
Sun Zhidong looked at Ye Chen and couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Ye really looks a lot like your father, as the old saying goes, a tiger father has no dog son!"
Ye Chen said respectfully: "Grandpa Sun, when I was a child, I followed my father to visit your house. I wonder if you still remember."
Sun Zhidong nodded and said: "I remember, of course I remember, your parents took you to my house for dinner. I still remember the scene back then. I didn't expect that so many years have passed in a blink of an eye."
As he spoke, Sun Zhidong couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Ye's father is indeed a wise man. Back then, he talked to me a lot about the direction of global economic development and the changing trends of the world structure. His vision was long-term, his assessment of trends was accurate, and he was very practical.
It's the only one I've seen in my life, but it's a pity that God is jealous of talented people!"
Ye Chen also sighed in his heart.
He once heard adults mention Sun Zhidong when they were chatting. At that time, his father had many ambitions to realize when he returned to China. Sun Zhidong had always wanted to cooperate with him in depth at the macro level. Unfortunately, his father suddenly had irreconcilable differences with the Ye family.
Conflicted, he left the Ye family and went to Jinling.
Ye Chen was sighing and was about to say something when he suddenly felt that although Sun Zhidong looked strong, his aura was actually very poor. He seemed to be at the end of his strength, and he would probably die of old age in a few months.
So, he said: "Grandpa Sun, your physical condition does not seem to be very good."
Sun Zhidong looked stunned and asked in surprise: "How did Mr. Ye figure it out?"
Ye Chen said humbly: "This junior has learned some medical skills."
As he said this, he couldn't help but feel in his heart that these three people were all very old and were indeed on their deathbed.
Among them, Sun Zhidong only has a few months left to live, and Qiu Yingshan and Zhang Decai, judging from the situation, only have a few years to live at most.
Sun Zhidong sighed at this time: "When people reach my age, they are basically running out of gas and the lamp is dry. It is normal to be in poor health."
Ye Chen nodded lightly, thinking in his heart that Lin Waner was his life-saving benefactor, and he should repay this life-saving grace. And these three people were orphans raised by Lin Waner, among whom the situation was the most serious.
Sun Zhidong doesn't have much time left to live, so he should make a statement.
What's more, this Sun Zhidong can be regarded as having some kindness towards his father.
Due to emotion and reason, we cannot just sit idly by and ignore his current situation.
