Jiang Yan walked straight into the ward with steady steps, but her gaze remained fixed on Si Yi, who was standing by the bedside.

In front of so many people, Siyi felt a little flustered, especially in such a setting. She didn't know how to face Jiang Yanhui and could only avoid eye contact.

But those two scorching beams of light above her head were not something she could simply avoid.

Her spine went numb. Fortunately, Jiang Jizhen spoke up first, breaking the somewhat tense situation, "Yan Hui, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Yanhui gave a wicked smirk, her tone indifferent yet full of provocation, "What you're here for is what I'm here for."

"Nonsense!"

Jiang Jizhen gave a sharp shout and glanced at the bodyguards at the door. The lead bodyguard in black immediately understood and was about to step forward when Jiang Yanhui moved faster, grabbing his wrist. The bodyguard grunted, his tall body tense, no longer daring to move an inch.

Jiang Yanhui chuckled casually, then sneered, "I advise you to save your breath. Even if more of you came, you wouldn't be a match for me." He looked arrogantly at Jiang Jizhen, his handsome face expressionless, but a cold glint flashed in his eyes. "Do you think it's something to be proud of to let your useless trash practice on me in someone else's hospital room?"

“Yan Hui! I’ve said everything I needed to say. I thought you understood my resolve. Your continued actions won’t change anything.” Jiang Jizhen’s tone was equally somber. “My tolerance for you has its limits. Don’t think that just because you’re my son you can act so lawlessly!”

Jiang Yan sneered, "Ha, do you still remember that I'm your son?"

"you!"

Jiang Jizhen was so offended by his words that he lost all face. He was a man who always cared about his reputation, and now, in front of so many people, he was even more furious, his face turning red. "Don't go too far!"

"Am I being unreasonable? I don't think I'm being unreasonable at all. If you're going to marry a woman, shouldn't you ask my mother first?"

Jiang Yan Hui was completely unfazed by his terrifying expression. A mocking smile suddenly appeared on her lips, but her face remained extremely cold. Her deep, dark eyes were like the calm before a storm, with endless dark clouds churning and surging. "My mother isn't dead yet. Her name is still on the Jiang family's genealogy. Are you so eager to marry another woman? Do you even know what 'excessive' means?"

"Jiang Yan Hui, you've gone too far! I'm still your father, how dare you talk to me like that?!"

"What wouldn't I dare to do? You dare to openly marry another woman, what do you think I wouldn't dare to do?" Jiang Yan scoffed, saying nonchalantly, "I told you, if you dare to do it, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life. This is just the beginning, and you can't even handle it?"

The father and son were locked in a fierce confrontation, while everyone else present remained silent. Those who had been by Jiang Jizhen's side for a long time naturally knew what was going on.

Jiang Yanhui and Jiang Jizhen have never gotten along. Besides sharing the same blood, these two father and son also share the same stubbornness.

But for more than a decade, the two of them had acted like enemies whenever they met, and the servants had long since become accustomed to it.

However, this was Ye Xiongming's ward, and besides Jiang Jizhen's people, Ye Zhenghao was also present.

Not only did the two people he disliked the most appear together, but they also chose this particular day, in his father's hospital room. What were they planning to do?

Ye Zhenghao, of course, wouldn't just stand there. His patience had been completely worn out, and he showed no restraint in speaking to the Jiang family father and son in front of him. "If you want to fight or make a scene, get out of here. This is my father's hospital room."

He looked at Guan Fengru, disappointed yet heartbroken, and said, "Mom, you are my mother, that's a fact that can never be changed in this lifetime. But you're right, your marriage with Dad is your business, and I, as your son, can't interfere. You can do whatever you want, but I beg you, please don't do this in a place like this, in front of Dad! Even if you're shameless, Siyi and I still have to live our lives. I beg you, don't think that just because we're adults we can bear all this heartlessness. Look at Siyi, think about what kind of girl she is, how can you be so cruel..."

"Big brother..."

Siyi's hoarse voice seemed to be blocked by something, and the tears she had been holding back finally burst forth uncontrollably.

But after calling out Ye Zhenghao's name, she couldn't say anything more. Her vision was hazy as she looked at everything in front of her, and the faces in front of her all became blurry.

She felt as if the whole world was becoming blurry and distorted before her eyes...

"All of you, please stop talking."

Guan Fengru had calmed down by this point. She glanced at Ye Zhenghao, then at Siyi, and finally said, "This was something I didn't consider carefully. I didn't expect things to turn out this way." She paused, then looked at Ye Xiongming on the bed. Her calm eyes held a hint of suppressed emotion, an emotion only Ye Xiongming could understand. There were so many feelings hidden within them, understood only by the two of them. She clearly saw Ye Xiongming nod almost imperceptibly. She finally swallowed hard and said, "Zhenghao, Siyi, I'm so sorry. I'll take good care of your father from now on. I won't change my mind. I'm sorry..."

After she finished speaking, she took Jiang Jizhen's hand and prepared to leave.

Jiang Yanhui stood in front of the two of them, still with that arrogant demeanor, his voice as cold as ice, his gaze coldly fixed on them, "You'll have to ask me first before you leave. You want to get married, don't you? I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't let you have your way, because you can't get married."

Jiang Jizhen was already extremely impatient. He was never a good-tempered person to begin with, and if Jiang Yanhui hadn't been his son, he would have already lost his temper.

But she had been holding back all along, and at this moment she finally exploded, "Yan Hui! Let me tell you, I'm divorced from your mother. This isn't your decision; it's my own business, and it's none of your business to interfere. Get out of my way, or I really won't be polite!"

Jiang Yan ignored her, her sinister eyes fixed on Guan Fengru. Suddenly, she smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "You really want to marry this man? Then do you mind incest?"

The word "incest" was like a sharp knife, instantly piercing the hearts of everyone present.

Siyi suddenly raised her head and stared at Jiang Yanhui with wide eyes. She had already suffered too many blows today, and at this moment, she felt as if even her heart had gone numb.

But the others were different. Guan Fengru looked at Jiang Yanhui in disbelief, and then subconsciously glanced at Siyi. Ye Zhenghao, who knew a little about the truth, also glanced at Siyi.

For a moment, it seemed as if everyone's eyes were on Siyi.

Siyi trembled, her lips pressed tightly together, her face deathly pale. She knew she couldn't stay silent any longer, and asked in a hoarse, dry voice, "Jiang Yanhui, what are you saying? Don't talk nonsense..."

"I'm talking nonsense?"

Jiang Yan glanced at her sideways, then walked straight past the crowd and stood in front of her, brazenly putting her arm around her waist and saying affectionately, "Baby, how long are you going to keep this a secret? Aren't we already together?"

He snorted contemptuously, looking at Jiang Jizhen provocatively, "You want to marry her mother, don't you? Sorry, I was one step ahead of you. This woman is my woman, we've been together for a long time. So, you and she should be in-laws, huh? Heh, if you really don't mind incest, I don't care. Anyway, it's you who will lose face."

Siyi was completely taken aback by Jiang Yanhui's words. Her mind was in turmoil, and before she could even utter a rebuttal, Ye Zhenghao was one step ahead of her, shouting in a panic, "Dad!"

Siyi's heart sank, a sense of foreboding washing over her. She turned around and saw Ye Xiongming on the bed, his face deathly pale and trembling. Terrified, she pushed Jiang Yanhui aside and rushed to his side, crying, "Daddy...Daddy, how are you? Daddy, don't panic...Daddy..."

"Quick...quickly go and call the doctor, brother, hurry and call the doctor!"

Siyi quickly pushed Ye Zhenghao away. Ye Zhenghao, having no time to worry about anything else, turned to call the doctor, but suddenly there was another commotion at the door, and another aged voice interrupted.

"What's all this commotion? I'm not dead yet! Shouldn't you ask my opinion before you do anything?!"

The voice changed tone and suddenly said, "Hurry up and go in to check on the patient. What are you doing leaving the patient here in this condition? Take him to the operating room. Didn't we already agree with the hospital director to have him come and examine the patient personally?"

The deep male voice was somewhat hoarse and aged, but every word exuded a calm and unhurried strength, as if he was used to standing above others and giving orders.

However, among all the people present, only two could recognize the voice.

Jiang Yan raised an eyebrow slightly, remaining unmoved as she stood in place, though a slow smile played on her lips.

Jiang Jizhen, on the other hand, suddenly changed his expression. All the hostility in his body seemed to vanish in an instant. He frowned and looked at the door, a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

A doctor rushed in and, with a solemn expression, pushed Ye Xiongming toward the operating room.

Siyi wanted to follow, but was stopped by someone. The voice gradually approached, "Just send Judge Ye to the operating room. I'm tired of all of you people in black. Aren't you hot wearing so much in this heat? Get out of here, lawyers, and the rest of you stay here."

As soon as the words were spoken, the newcomer's true identity was finally revealed to everyone—
