Unparalleled medical and martial arts skills, saving the CEO's fiancée at the start.

Ye Chen talked a lot with Grandpa Jiang, mentioning his disappointing son Jiang Jianguo, and mostly telling Ye Chen to protect Jiang Ruoxi.

Seeing the old man's pained look towards Jiang Ruoxi, Ye Chen didn't know how to comfort him.

Even if the old man hadn't brought it up, Ye Chen would have handled it well.

"Alright, Ye Chen, call Ruoxi in."

Grandpa Jiang felt it was time to urge the two of them to get married.

"Ruoxi, Yechen, you're both of marriageable age, and you have an arranged marriage by your parents. While I'm still able to move around, I'll get this happy occasion done around the New Year." Old Master Jiang's words sounded like he was asking for their opinions, but also like an elder giving a command.

"Grandpa, I disagree!" This time, Ye Chen and Jiang Ruoxi both answered "disagree" in unison, as if they had planned it together.

The old man looked at the two of them with surprise, realizing that all his previous words had been in vain.

"This matter is not for you younger generation to decide on your own. I will arrange everything..." The old man was clearly a little angry, as both of his younger relatives actually opposed his opinion.

"Grandpa, it's not that we disagree, it's just that we're worried it's too hasty. I've only just met Ruoxi, and we're not very familiar with each other yet."

Ye Chen quickly came out to explain the reason. It wasn't that he thought it was too hasty, but he was worried that Jiang Ruoxi wouldn't be able to accept it. Nothing can be forced, especially not a major event like marriage.

"Yes, Grandpa, we've only known each other for less than half a month. How could it be so fast? It doesn't make sense."

Jiang Ruoxi watched Ye Chen explain, and then she also voiced her concerns.

Indeed, given the current social situation, couples generally don't get married quickly unless they've been dating for three to five years.

Of course, there are many examples of whirlwind marriages, but they are a minority, and it is obviously inappropriate to apply this to Jiang Ruoxi and Ye Chen.

"Alright, since you have your own considerations and plans, I'll trust you this once. But you can't keep me waiting too long. I'm still thinking about holding my great-grandson!" Old Master Jiang's words made Jiang Ruoxi's face turn red instantly.

"Don't worry, Grandpa, we'll do our best!" Ye Chen quickly covered for Jiang Ruoxi when he saw her predicament.

Seeing the two of them, the old man smiled. Their relationship was much better than he had imagined, and it seemed his worries were unnecessary.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

"Dad, open the door! What secrets are you two talking about that's been going on for so long with the door closed?"

Jiang Jianguo knocked on the door from the outside, showing no respect for his father.

Jiang Ruoxi opened the door, and Jiang Jianguo stormed in, immediately demanding, "Ruoxi, who is this person? Does the Jiang family think just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come and go?"

Then he said to the old man, "Dad, are you getting senile? What kind of things can you let outsiders hear, but exclude your own son?"

"Jianguo, what nonsense are you talking about? Is there a problem with me chatting with my granddaughter and grandson-in-law?" the old man asked his son angrily.

"Where did this grandson-in-law come from? I don't know him. You're not trying to fool me, are you?"

"Jianguo, you..."

"Second Uncle, how can you question Grandpa like this? Ye Chen is the betrothal Grandpa arranged for me when I was a child, Ye Chen." Jiang Ruoxi said to Jiang Jianguo very politely.

Jiang Ruoxi's aunt pulled Jiang Jianguo aside, telling him to say less.

"Come on, who knows which random guy you picked from some back alley to make up the numbers for the family fortune?" Jiang Jianguo's words became increasingly outrageous.

"Second Uncle, aren't you going a bit too far with what you're saying? Ruoxi is your own niece, how can you talk about her like that?" Ye Chen also began to criticize Jiang Jianguo for being wrong and for targeting Jiang Ruoxi.

"This is our family's private matter. What right do you, an outsider, have to interfere? If you know what's good for you, get out of here..." Jiang Jianguo was truly angry, and his words became increasingly harsh.

Ye Chen had never lost a fight when it came to throwing a tantrum and cursing, so he immediately retorted: "Second Uncle, you're over fifty years old and have accomplished nothing, yet you still have the nerve to point fingers at people. You're just a good-for-nothing. If I were you, I would have stayed in my room to avoid making a fool of myself..."

"Jiang Ruoxi, aren't you going to do anything about this? Is this the man you found? So disrespectful to his elders, what will he do after he marries into the family?"

"Second Uncle, isn't Ye Chen right? You should really reflect on this!"

Instead of criticizing Ye Chen, Jiang Ruoxi blamed Jiang Jianguo.

Seeing that Jiang Ruoxi wouldn't help, Jiang Jianguo turned his attention to Ye Chen: "You brat, get out of here! Don't let me see you again, you freeloader!"

"Hey, I'm better than some people, right? Some people have lived off their whole lives, and I've only been doing this for a few days. Looks like the master is right beside me; I need to learn from him."

Ye Chen didn't give Jiang Jianguo any face and directly confronted him.

"Ye Chen, you bastard, who are you calling a gigolo? Say it again if you dare." Jiang Jianguo got angrier and angrier as he spoke.

"What's the harm in saying it again? Listen up. You, Jiang Jianguo, are a complete gigolo, a good-for-nothing who only knows how to sponge off your parents. If I were you, I would have bought a block of tofu and smashed it against you to save face for the Jiang family..."

Seeing her second uncle's embarrassed state, Jiang Ruoxi coughed in anger. She quickly tugged at Ye Chen's sleeve, signaling him to stop talking.

"Ruoxi, don't pull me back. I didn't say anything wrong, but you can't talk about him. Grandpa doesn't want to talk about him anymore. He's like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water. If a person's skin is thick, there's nothing you can do about it!" Ye Chen said, not forgetting to make a face in front of Jiang Jianguo.

"Dad, is there any manners here? How can you humiliate your elders like this? I'm Ruoxi's second uncle, after all!"

"Second Uncle, I was just scolding you. So what? You deserve to be scolded and taught a lesson. If you make things difficult for Ruoxi again next time, it won't be as simple as just scolding. I might even resort to physical violence..."

Ye Chen's words were a blatant warning: he wanted Jiang Jianguo to respect Jiang Ruoxi more in the future, or he would not only be scolded, but might even be beaten.

"Alright, stop arguing. Jianguo, I'm not trying to be mean, but you're not getting any younger. You should be doing something productive. If you have nothing to do, just stay put and don't cause trouble. Ye Chen, you were wrong too. Protecting your wife is the right thing to do, but you can't just talk about your elders like that..." The old man stepped in to stop the argument.

Ye Chen quickly admitted his mistake and said that such a situation would not happen again.

Jiang Jianguo was still fuming and refused to admit that he had a problem. The old man sighed and didn't say anything more.

He knows best what's going on with his own son.

Jiang Jianguo left angrily, while Ye Chen and Jiang Ruoxi stayed with the old man for a while before leaving to go home.

Jiang Ruoxi bought a villa to live alone to avoid family conflicts, and it seems that her choice was right.
