Chapter 262: Chapter 262: The Ancestor Visits the Sick

Jiangli went to the inpatient department with Wen Zishu.

By the time they arrived at the old man’s ward, Jiangli had crunched through two bags of potato chips and finished off a bottle of orange juice.

These were all things Wen Zishu had bought for his own snacking.

Seeing that Jiangli had eaten everything, Wen Zishu immediately felt a twinge in his teeth.

It wasn’t that he grudged it...

But, he’d have to go down and buy some more later.

Wen Zishu sighed, looked at the satisfied Jiangli, and pointed at the ward ahead, "The old man’s ward is right there. His name is Ye Jiantao, and actually, he has quite a prestigious identity."

Jiangli stopped in her tracks, "Prestigious?"

"Yeah, the old master of the political family, the Ye Family," Wen Zishu lowered his voice, quietly schooling Jiangli.

Originally, he hadn’t known about the identity of Old Master Ye.

Although the Wen Family was a top-tier wealthy family, the difference between businessmen and politicians was huge, as distant as heaven and earth, with little intersection between the two.

Therefore, he hadn’t recognized who Old Master Ye was.

It was only during the hospital check-in that Fu Shiyan heard the old man’s name and recognized him.

Even though Fu Shiyan was abroad most of the time, he kept up to date with domestic developments every day.

He was also aware of the few important families within the country.

Ye Jiantao was the soul of the Ye Family, and the Ye Family had stepped onto the political stage starting from his generation.

Ye Jiantao’s son and granddaughter, under his influence, had become significant figures in F City’s political arena.

"And you just said that no family members came to see him?" Jiangli found an inconsistency.

Wen Zishu explained, ’I didn’t say that; it’s the truth. After we called the Ye Family members, we thought they would come at the first opportunity, but for some reason, they haven’t come yet. Old Master Ye said that his family was busy...’

"But I think, no matter how busy you are, you can’t just ignore the life and death of a family member."

Wen Zishu was indignant; he was not as irresponsible as the Ye Family members.

If it was his grandfather who was in trouble, no matter how important the matter, he would put it aside and immediately come over.

A clean official has difficulty resolving family affairs.

Jiangli, disinclined to comment on other people’s family matters, asked, "Shall we go in?"

Wen Zishu realized he had been talking too much and immediately stopped, "Yes, yes, yes."

He walked over, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open a crack, "Third brother, Old Master Ye, look who’s here."

He smiled as if hiding a secret.

Inside, Fu Shiyan and Old Master Ye were chatting leisurely.

At his words, both of them looked over in unison.

Seeing Wen Zishu’s mischievous grin, Fu Shiyan raised his eyebrows, stood up, and said, "The Abbot has arrived."

Hearing his formal tone, the smug smile on Wen Zishu’s face fell instantly, "No, third brother, did you peek? Otherwise, how would you know?"

With that, he led Jiangli inside.

Fu Shiyan saw Jiangli and instead of addressing Wen Zishu’s complaint, he greeted her with a gentle smile, "So late, and the Abbot still came."

"I didn’t come specially." Jiangli was frank and honest, "I was bringing someone over and thought I’d stop by to have a look."

"Is this the young Miss Jiangli who saved me?"

Old Master Ye on the hospital bed, hearing how Fu Shiyan and Wen Zishu referred to the young girl, asked knowingly.

Fu Shiyan introduced, "Old Master Ye, this is Jiaoyang Temple’s Abbot, Jiangli, I’ve told you about."

He moved closer to Jiangli before continuing the introduction.

"Abbot, this is Old Master Ye."

Jiangli nodded to Old Master Ye as a greeting, "I’ve heard from Wen Zishu that the old master’s recovery is going quite well?"
