Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Capítulo 729: Chapter 703 Unexpected Situation

He knocked on the door several times, but nobody responded.

Ye Chen took out his phone and dialed Grandma Zhang’s number, already deciding that if she didn’t answer the phone again, he would break in.

Grandma Zhang, who was boiling water in the kitchen, heard the phone ringing, pushed her wheelchair over, and picked up the phone to see the number displayed. She felt a surge of emotion: “Little Chen, have you finished your work?”

“Grandma Zhang, you scared me to death! If you didn’t answer the phone, I was about to break the door down.” Ye Chen exhaled deeply as he spoke.

Grandma Zhang didn’t react for a while. She initially thought Ye Chen had called after finishing his work, but she just heard the word “break the door.”

Hearing no sound from the other end, Ye Chen said, “Grandma Zhang, I’m at the door. Open the door for me quickly.”

“Alright, alright, hold on.” Grandma Zhang hung up the phone, hurried to the door, and opened it.

A handsome young man wearing a delivery uniform stood there, and tears of emotion filled Grandma Zhang’s eyes.

Seeing the elderly woman blocking the doorway, Ye Chen scratched his head and asked, “Grandma Zhang, are you not going to let me in?”

“Little Chen, come in quickly, come in.” Grandma Zhang moved her wheelchair aside, clearing the path.

Ye Chen changed into slippers and entered, sitting on the couch.

Grandma Zhang brewed a pot of tea and poured a cup for Ye Chen: “Little Chen, why did you come back?”

Ye Chen, who was not related to her, had only made one call before coming to see her. How could such actions not move the elderly lady?

“Finished work, and I happened to miss you, so I came to see you.” Ye Chen said with a smile.

Upon hearing Ye Chen’s words, Grandma Zhang was too moved to know what to say.

“Grandma Zhang, the weather outside is great. Let me take you out for some fresh air. It’s not good to always stay inside the house.” Ye Chen suddenly suggested.

Grandma Zhang hesitated for a moment and said, “Thank you, Little Chen, but there’s no need.”

“Grandma Zhang, don’t worry, I’m not a bad person.” Ye Chen spoke frankly, hoping to dispel any concerns the elder might have.

After all, they had only met twice, so it was normal for her to have reservations. Ye Chen didn’t mind.

“Little Chen, don’t misunderstand. That’s not what I meant. I know you’re a kind child, it’s just… just…” Grandma Zhang quickly explained.

“Just what?” Ye Chen thought, since the elder believes he is a good person, what concerns could there be?

Grandma Zhang continued, “I’m just afraid of troubling you. After all, my legs aren’t so convenient to move, and getting downstairs isn’t easy.”

Upon hearing her concerns, Ye Chen laughed and said, “Grandma Zhang, you don’t need to worry about that. I’ll carry you downstairs.”

Following Ye Chen’s instructions, the elder left the wheelchair and leaned on Ye Chen.

Ye Chen walked out the house, carrying her carefully, fearing she might feel uncomfortable.

By the time they reached downstairs, Ye Chen was already drenched in sweat.

Seeing Ye Chen sweating profusely, the elder felt a twinge of sadness: “Little Chen, you’ve worked hard.”

“Grandma Zhang, don’t stand on ceremony with me now.”

Once outside, Grandma Zhang took several deep breaths of the fresh air, savoring the warmth of the sunlight on her.

She couldn’t quite remember how long it had been since she last went outside.

If it wasn’t for Ye Chen, she probably wouldn’t have dared to think about doing this, let alone come downstairs.

Initially, Ye Chen helped the elder stroll around, and a smile appeared on her face.

But suddenly, the elder’s face turned pale, and she clutched her chest.

“Grandma Zhang, Grandma Zhang, what’s wrong?” Ye Chen asked anxiously.

“Little Chen, there’s medicine in my pocket. Once I take it, I’ll be fine.” the elder responded weakly.

Since Ye Chen hadn’t returned to the delivery point to get his car, he quickly dialed 120, informing them of Grandma Zhang’s condition and address.

Ye Chen took out the medicine from Grandma Zhang’s pocket, placing it in the elder’s hand.

After a while, Grandma Zhang started to recover, her complexion no longer as pale as before.

“Little Chen, I just scared you, didn’t I? I’m really sorry.” Grandma Zhang said apologetically.

“Grandma Zhang, please don’t speak. The ambulance will be here shortly.”

As soon as those words left his mouth, the 120 ambulance drove up to the building entrance, and Ye Chen helped the medical staff get Grandma Zhang into the vehicle.

The vehicle sped towards the general hospital, where doctors examined the elder and told Ye Chen, “The elder has a heart condition and needs surgery, but the current head heart surgeon is overseas for training. Considering her age, an expert is necessary, and we suggest Ren’ai Hospital.”

The doctor continued, “Of course, we know that Ren’ai Hospital isn’t accessible for just anyone and the costs are quite high, so we’d like to discuss it with the family.”

“Doctor, I’m not the elder’s family. I know she has a daughter, and I think it would be best to discuss this with her.” Ye Chen said awkwardly.

“Oh, then do you know her daughter’s phone number?” the doctor asked.

“I’m not sure, but the elder does.”

Ye Chen and the doctor entered the ward and said to the elder, “This young man just mentioned he’s not your relative. We need to communicate with your family now.”

Upon hearing this, Grandma Zhang showed a troubled expression: “There’s no need, doctor. I’m familiar with my body; taking some medication will suffice.”

“Grandma Zhang, I really think your daughter should come.” Ye Chen said firmly.

After persuasion from the doctor and Ye Chen, the elder summoned her daughter to the hospital.

Half an hour later, a woman in her forties wearing an office uniform walked into the ward.

Seeing her mother, she impatiently said, “Mom, I was still in a meeting. What’s wrong with you, staying at home perfectly fine, suddenly coming to the hospital?”

Instead of showing concern, the woman accused as soon as she saw her mother.

“Yu Ting, I was downstairs and suddenly felt discomfort in my heart so I came to the hospital.” the elder said trembling.

“What do you mean ‘downstairs’? With your legs, how could you possibly get downstairs?”

Before the elder could speak, Ye Chen chimed in, “I helped your mother downstairs. You, as her child, don’t even care about her health and don’t take the time to visit her.”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, the woman was displeased: “Who are you, a delivery boy, to meddle? Why would you bring my mom downstairs anyway? Such a hassle!”

“And mom, how could you let a stranger into the house? Do you know him? What if he’s bad?”

Hearing her daughter’s words, the elder said emotionally: “Little Chen is better than you, kinder than you.”

“Mom, are you out of your mind, trusting an outsider like this?”

“I, this outsider, care more about the elder than you, her own daughter. You are truly unfit as her child.” Ye Chen said harshly.

“What do you know? Unlike you, I have work. I have a whole family to support, and you, a lousy delivery boy, have no right to judge me.”
