Unlike previous years when he welcomed New Year's Eve with joy, this year, Xiao Zheng was not in a good mood. Instead, he became more and more nervous as it got closer to New Year's Eve.
This was a counterattack initiated by Bai Wushuang.
Xiao Zheng did not know the inside story. He was just a participant.
How many forces were involved in this battle? How would it go on?
Xiao Zheng had no idea.
Would Bai Wuxia really listen to Bai Wushuang's arrangement and not participate?
What about Lin Laoyao?
Would this Overlord, who had never made a move, be involved in this battle?
All the guesses had to be answered before the New Year's Eve arrived.
Until a phone call came in.
It was from Bai Wushuang. On the morning of New Year's Eve. Bai Wushuang told Xiao Zheng in a light and even excited tone.
Tonight, he would host a banquet to celebrate New Year's Eve together.
Except for the occasion and the banquet that had to be attended. No one would choose to host a banquet on New Year's Eve. New Year's Eve was a very private day. At most, they would have a reunion dinner with their blood relatives.
But tonight, Bai Wushuang would host a banquet at a club in the western suburbs of Yan Jin.
The club was built by the Bai family. The facilities were definitely five-star. But because of its remote location, the function of the club gradually changed. From the beginning, it only provided services to the big shots. But even so, there was still not a lot of traffic in the club.
This also showed that the Bai family's influence had not completely penetrated Yan Jin. Otherwise, there would not be such a situation.
After promising that he would come, Xiao Zheng hung up the phone with a heavy heart.
What was to come would come. Not one day earlier, not one day later.
Because Lord Ye's health condition was getting worse. In the past week, the old man could not even get out of bed. His family repeatedly asked him to go to the hospital for treatment. But the old man rejected them all.
"Even if I die, I will die at home."
That was the old man's original words. It also sent a message from the side. The old man knew that he did not have long to live and did not want to suffer anymore.
Hence, Xiao Zheng and Elder Lin discussed and decided to have a reunion dinner at the Ye Residences on New Year's Eve.
Because Xiao Zheng had a meeting at night, he sent Elder Lin and his mother to the Ye Residence in the morning and had lunch together there. It was the new year of the League. As for whether he could make it home in time for dinner. Xiao Zheng wasn't confident.
Lord Ye basically couldn't eat anymore. He was completely relying on the nutrient solution to survive. In the short span of three months, Lord Ye's appearance did not change much, but he had become haggard. He was lying on the bed, breathing weakly. His sallow complexion proved that he hadn't had a good meal for a long time.
"The old man vomits as soon as he eats it. He even vomited blood a few times. "When they went upstairs, Ye Zang Hua explained Lord Ye's condition in a low and hoarse voice.
Xiao Zheng's face was also filled with solemnity. His heart was filled with reluctance.
He knew that Lord Ye would not be long for this world.
But that was the way of the world. Birth, aging, sickness, and death were even more unpredictable. Today, it's him. Tomorrow, it might be you.
Who could shout to fight against the heavens?
That was just an irresponsible, brainless, stupid thing to say.
Xiao Zheng pushed open the bedroom door and came to Lord Ye's bedside alone.
"Old man." Xiao Zheng lightly held Lord Ye's unbelievably wrinkled palm and said softly. "Are you feeling better?"
Lord Ye had just taken some imported medicine. He had also rested for an entire morning.
According to the doctor, Lord Ye's current state was basically boiling oil. When would the last drop of oil be used up. When would he leave this world?
It might be tonight, or tomorrow morning. But looking at Lord Ye's current situation, one week was already the limit.
"Xiao Zheng …"
Lord Ye who was half asleep slightly opened his eyes and tightened his grip on Xiao Zheng's palm. "I heard that you have an appointment tonight?"
When Xiao Zheng heard this, his eyes teared up. "Don't worry about me at a time like this."
"After all, it's a grudge caused by our generation. I feel guilty leaving it to you just like that," Lord Ye said in a low voice.
Xiao Zheng tightly held Lord Ye's palm and said softly, "Don't worry. I will protect Lord Ye's residence. No one is allowed to hurt anyone in Lord Ye's residence. "
Lord Ye sighed softly and said in a low voice, "I wanted to use my last breath to pave a path for you. Unfortunately, I'm leaving. My words have no weight. "
Lord Ye's breathing suddenly became heavy after saying a few words. His forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat. He looked extremely weak.
Xiao Zheng took a hot towel and helped Lord Ye wipe his sweat. He said softly, "You don't have to do anything. From now on, I will be able to walk on well. "
After a pause, Xiao Zheng's voice was choked with emotion. "Look downstairs. That whole family is relying on you to be where they are today. You've already done enough. "
Lord Ye smiled and patted the back of Xiao Zheng's hand. "You're such a good young man. I really don't understand. Who would be so blind as to not want such an outstanding son like you."
Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "Not everyone has such good foresight like you."
"That's true." Lord Ye smiled. He held Xiao Zheng's hand tightly. "Xiao Zheng, the path ahead will be difficult. Don't be afraid when you meet with difficulties. Walk with your chest out. You will definitely cross it. "
"I know." Xiao Zheng nodded.
Lord Ye's mental state was quite poor. He was panting after saying a few words. Xiao Zheng did not disturb Lord Ye for too long. He slowly left the room.
Ye Canghua stood outside the door smoking. His face was haggard. It could be seen that during this period of time, he must have been accompanying Lord Ye without any clothes on. This was his last act of filial piety.
Seeing Xiao Zheng's depressed mood, Ye Canghua patted Xiao Zheng's shoulder. "Cheer up. Even if the old man passes away today, he will die of old age. "
Xiao Zheng asked Ye Canghua for a cigarette. He lit it and smoked half of it. His chaotic mood was slightly relieved. "If Lord Ye passes away, the Ye Residence can only become stronger."
Hearing this, Ye Canghua stopped smoking. He patted Xiao Zheng's shoulder again. "The old man doesn't want you to do this. You've suffered enough. "
"Can I compare to Lord Ye?" Xiao Zheng laughed at himself. "Lord Ye has finished the most difficult path. The road left for us is already very smooth. "
"Xiao Zheng, go on your way. Don't steal mother-in-law's path."
Ye Yuhua's gentle voice came from the staircase.
The meaning was clear. Once Lord Ye leaves, the phoenix takes over!
Xiao Zheng's face revealed a complicated expression when he heard this.
Why did mother-in-law carry the flag this time?
Because the road ahead was too dangerous. Even if she had no distractions, she had to take over the Ye Residence!
