At 2 PM in the afternoon, He Xiyan arrived on the dot at Ye City People’s Hospital and brought along the crucian carp soup she made earlier. It was fresh and delicious, nourishing and filling. She prepared two portions, one for Ye Hao and the other for Ye Hao’s mother.
When she arrived at his ward, she noticed something odd.
Two strangers stood inside the normally quiet ward, a man and a woman, one elderly and the other young. They seemed as though they were father and daughter and from their clothing, it was obvious that they were from one of the eminent families in Ye City.
The entrance to his ward was filled with more than a dozen bouquets of flowers, while the table was filled with fruits and other nourishing foods.
There seemed to be a few people waiting to visit him and they all stood waiting along the corridor bearing gifts. There were also four tall and burly men in black blazers who stood with their hands behind their backs. They were probably either hired thugs or bodyguards.
He Xiyan’s eyes widened.
She stared disbelievingly at the scene and could not figure out how Ye Hao could have so many relatives and friends when he was neither born nor brought up in Ye City.
She had not seen the news and was thus unaware of what had happened.
At 8 PM the night before, the richest man in Ye City, Ye Zhiyuan who still had yet to be discharged from the hospital, suddenly announced to the media that Ye Hao was his son and his mother was his ex-wife. As the eldest son of the Ye family, with immediate effect, the three major subsidiaries of the Ye Group, including Huayang Land Holdings, Huayang Technologies and Huayang E-commerce would be managed by Ye Hao. Two other subsidiaries, Huayang Productions, and Huayang Entertainment would be managed by his youngest son, Ye Zhe. 1
Everyone was stunned to know that the person that everyone had assumed to be the successor of Ye Group, Ye Yi, did not even receive any company shares. 2
Once everyone took note of the power shift, all the movers and shakers of Ye City, including the prominent families, quickly arranged to visit Ye Hao who had just completed his surgery. They hoped that by doing so, he would remember them and they would thus be able to start out on good terms with this young master Ye. This would make it easier for them to do business with him in the future. Those with unmarried daughters also specially brought their daughters along to visit him.
They had heard the Ye Hao was still single. 1
If they could arrange a match with the Ye family, their business would definitely prosper.
The Chief Executive Office of a commercial firm inside Ye Hao’s ward shot a look at his daughter, Lu Yunxi and soon, the woman in a red woolen dress walked over to his bed with a smile and gently took his hand in hers.
“Mister Ye, please get well soon.” Her dressing and her smile were both very demure. She had fair skin, bright eyes and pearly teeth which made her look both beautiful and charming.
Ye Hao nodded politely, then extracted his hand from hers. He was getting a little annoyed after receiving so many visitors today.
His gaze floated to the entrance and his face finally broke into a smile.
This was when He Xiyan entered and as she entered, she ran into the woman who was about to leave his room.
The woman frowned and shot a jealous glare at her, which caught He Xiyan by surprise.
This was the first time they had met, so why was this lady so offended?
She entered the room and sat on the chair beside the bed.
Ye Hao looked at her with a twinkle in his eyes.
“You’re here.”
He Xiyan nodded and reached out to smoothen his blankets.
“You have so many visitors today; I didn’t expect you to be so popular!” She looked at the tonics and fruits that filled the table. There were so many things, how was he possibly going to finish eating them?
Ye Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at her in confusion.
“You don’t know?” He asked bemusedly. Did she not read the news? Was that why she didn’t know why all those people who were strangers to him as well flooded his hospital room? 2
