Ye Tian left early, as the remaining matters no longer required his involvement. He was confident that five years later, Zhang Jinghua would absolutely not dare to harbor any further intentions.
At nine in the evening, Ye Tian arrived at the Ye Family Villa. He hadn't been there for a few days. That night, he administered the final treatment to Han Lingyan.
Han Lingyan had largely recovered. After this session of acupuncture, she would essentially be well.
"Ye Tian, I'm returning to the US tomorrow."
Ye Tian knew she wanted to get their joint venture company up and running. He smiled and said, "Don't rush. You should rest in China for at least half a month. If there are no issues during that time, then returning to the US won't be too late. Otherwise, if it's not completely rooted out, wouldn't you have to come back?"
Han Lingyan smiled, "Don't worry, I feel completely recovered, and I trust your medical skills."
Ye Tian replied, "Then stay for another week. If nothing happens within a week, I won't stop you."
Han Lingyan nodded, "Alright, I'll wait another week. But it's too boring here. Ye Tian, can you accompany me to a banquet tomorrow?"
Ye Tian immediately refused, "I don't have time. You should find David."
Han Lingyan rolled her eyes, "That scoundrel returned home long ago. He's not loyal at all."
She giggled, "Don't worry, I won't have any designs on you. After all, you're my best friend's man, my confidante's husband. The 'not to be slept with' rule, I understand. Besides, I've already spoken to Ziyi, and she agreed to let you accompany me."
Ye Tian asked, "What banquet?"
Han Lingyan explained, "It's a gathering of wealthy young ladies and gentlemen from Zhonghai. It's more of a matchmaking event than a party. I don't want to go, but my mother is forcing me, and she'll be coming tomorrow as well."
Ye Tian immediately felt a sense of schadenfreude. "So, your family is pushing you to get married? That's good. You're getting old; if you don't find someone to marry soon, no one will want you."
Han Lingyan was so angry she felt a stomachache. "Ye Tian, who's getting old? I'm even a year younger than you!"
Ye Tian retorted, "That's still not young."
Han Lingyan snorted, "No man in this world is worthy of this great lady!"
Ye Tian pouted, "Just say no one wants you, instead of talking about who's worthy or not."
Han Lingyan sighed, "Forget it, I won't argue with you. Anyway, you have to accompany me tomorrow. If you don't go, I'll call Ziyi and have her talk to you."
Ye Tian said helplessly, "What's your purpose in making me go? You're not going to pretend to be my boyfriend, are you?"
Han Lingyan clarified, "Not pretending to be my boyfriend, but pretending to be a wealthy young gentleman. Then we'll fall in love at first sight. That way, my mother won't pressure me anymore, understand?"
Ye Tian asked, "Do I need to pretend? Am I not a wealthy young gentleman now?"
Han Lingyan smiled, "Yes, yes, Young Master Ye, I'll be counting on you tomorrow!"
Ye Tian agreed, "Alright, I'll trouble myself tomorrow and help you with this."
Han Lingyan was overjoyed, "After it's done, I'll definitely reward you handsomely."
Ye Tian didn't have time to bicker with Han Lingyan. After a few words, he went to visit Wei Ziqian. Wei Ziqian's illness had greatly improved, and she had been bored staying at the villa these past few days.
"Brother Ye Tian." Seeing Ye Tian return, Wei Ziqian was very happy and jumped up from the sofa.
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Ziqian, have you been bored to death lately? Tomorrow, I'll find a friend to send you to school."
Wei Ziqian smiled, "Okay. Brother Ye Tian, you've helped me so much, I don't know how to thank you."
Ye Tian replied, "Thanks are definitely needed. When you get the full scholarship, treat me to a meal."
Wei Ziqian smiled, "Okay, I'll definitely get the full scholarship."
Upon re-examination, Wei Ziqian's condition showed no further problems. Her physique was even better than that of girls her age.
That evening, Ye Tian had a few chefs from the Imperial Kitchen sent over to have a barbecue at the villa. He felt reassured eating food he prepared himself, and it tasted good too.
Ye Tian personally cooked and posted a few photos on his social media. Immediately, his feed exploded, and some friends in Zhonghai asked to come over for drinks.
Thus, Manager Ma, Director Liu, Boss Chen, Boss Hou, and over a dozen others arrived, turning the quiet villa into a lively place.
