Villain: He humiliated the protagonist's sister, but she fell in love with him.

The ward was a single room with good lighting, and a potted green ivy sat on the windowsill.

An elderly woman with gray hair and a pale face was lying on the hospital bed by the window, watching TV.

His eyes lit up when he saw his granddaughter come in.

"Mengyao is here!"

The old lady smiled, then her gaze passed over Ye Mengyao and landed on the tall young man behind her.

She pursed her lips, as if weighing what to say.

Ye Mengyao quickly walked to the bedside, bent down to tidy up her grandmother's blanket, and said softly:

"Grandma, this is Lin Ba. I told you about him; he helped pay for the surgery."

Upon hearing this, the old lady hurriedly tried to sit up, supporting herself on the edge of the bed.

Lin Ba quickly stepped forward, placed the tonics and fruit on the table, and pressed down on the old lady's shoulder:

"Grandma, you can just lie there, don't get up."

"Thank you, Young Master Lin! If it weren't for you, I would be dead. Don't worry, my grandson and I will repay you the 300,000 yuan as soon as possible!"

The old lady thanked Lin Ba.

Lin Ba looked at Ye Mengyao with some confusion.

It seems Ye Mengyao didn't tell her grandmother about becoming a lifelong maid!

However, Lin Ba didn't expose Ye Mengyao; instead, he smiled.

"Don't worry, there's no rush to pay this money back. Your granddaughter has been working for me these past few days, and she's been doing a great job. I'm very satisfied!"

Hearing the word "work," Ye Mengyao, who was standing to the side, seemed to think of something and blushed.

When the old lady heard that Lin Ba had arranged a job for Ye Mengyao, she was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

"Young Master Lin, you are a great benefactor to our Ye family! You paid for the surgery and even found a way for Mengyao to survive. This old woman... this old woman really doesn't know what to say..."

His voice choked up towards the end, and he raised his sleeve to wipe his eyes.

Seeing her grandmother like this, Ye Mengyao felt a little sad and quickly sat down and hugged her grandmother's arm.

After wiping away her tears and calming down, the old lady pulled Lin Ba aside and asked him all sorts of questions:

"Young Master Lin! If Mengyao does anything wrong, just tell her what's wrong. Scold her if she needs to, hit her if she needs to, don't spoil her!"

"grandmother!"

Ye Mengyao became anxious.

"What do you mean by scolding or hitting me? I'm not a child anymore!"

Lin Ba suppressed a laugh and nodded seriously:

"Grandma, don't worry, Mengyao is very well-behaved with me. If she misbehaves, I'll punish her accordingly."

When Ye Mengyao heard the word "punishment," her body trembled, her face flushed even more, and certain images flashed uncontrollably through her mind.

The old lady felt much more at ease after hearing this.

She leaned back against the pillow, let out a sigh of relief, and smiled with barely concealed joy.

"That's good, that's good..." the old lady murmured.

"I'm at ease knowing Mengyao is with you."

Ye Mengyao sensed the hidden meaning in her grandmother's words, opened her mouth to explain, but felt that the more she explained, the worse it would get...

Lin Ba readily agreed:

"Grandma, please take good care of yourself. I'll look after Mengyao; nothing will happen to her."

The old lady smiled and nodded, then tugged at her granddaughter's sleeve and said in a low voice:

"Girl, do a good job, don't let them down."

Ye Mengyao: "..."

The three chatted for a while longer, and Lin Ba felt it was time to go to Cloud Mist Mountain.

He glanced at his watch, then got up to take his leave.

"Grandma, it's getting late, I have to go now. Please get some rest, I'll come visit you again when I have time."

The old lady nodded repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, be careful on the road, Young Master Lin!"

After she finished speaking, she turned to greet Ye Mengyao.

"Mengyao, go see Young Master Lin off!"

Ye Mengyao hummed in agreement and followed Lin Ba out of the ward.

Not far after the two left the ward, Ye Bufan also slowly walked out.

Because Ye Bufan had no money, his hospital room did not have a toilet.

So, being unable to hold it in any longer, he had no choice but to go to the toilet.

"Damn it, what kind of doctor is this? The stitches are so bad! I'm so angry!"

Ye Bufan, who had just made a sarcastic remark, looked up and was immediately stunned.

Isn't this his younger sister, Ye Mengyao?

Did they know he was hospitalized and come to see him specifically?

It seems that even though he and his sister have been separated for more than ten years, his sister still misses him.

Thinking of this, Ye Bufan's face broke into a fervent smile.

"Mengyao! You've come to see your brother!"

But then he saw Lin Ba next to Ye Mengyao, and his expression changed.

"Mengyao, come here quickly! The person next to you isn't a good person!"

To Ye Bufan's disbelief, Ye Mengyao not only ignored him but also pulled Lin Ba back with her.

"Young master, let's call the police! This is the same scoundrel who broke into our house the other day!"

The sight of his younger sister taking a step back deeply pierced Ye Bufan's heart.

"Mengyao! What are you doing! I'm your brother!"

"Don't try to fool me! My brother is long dead!"

Ye Mengyao didn't believe Ye Bufan's nonsense at all.

In her memory, her older brother disappeared not long after her parents died when she was a child.

For more than ten years, she and her grandmother have relied on each other to get through it all.

My memory of my older brother is long gone.

Ye Bufan felt a sudden pain in his chest, as if he had been stabbed with a knife.

"Mengyao, I'm not dead! After my parents died, I went up the mountain to cultivate with my master, and I stayed there for more than ten years. I only came down the mountain recently."

"And Lin Ba next to you, he's no good. He was on the train the other day..."

Ye Bufan was interrupted by Ye Mengyao before he could finish speaking.

"You're not allowed to slander my young master!"

"Also, we're not familiar with each other, so don't call me Mengyao!"

Ye Mengyao, unusually assertive, grabbed Lin Ba's arm and spoke fiercely to Ye Bufan.

Ye Mengyao knew who was good to her, especially since Lin Ba not only gave her a job but also paid her grandmother's medical bills.

In contrast, it's absurd for a stranger to suddenly appear and say that the person who helped you is not a good person.

This is ridiculous!

How could Ye Mengyao possibly believe that!

Lin Ba felt a surge of pleasure as he felt the softness on his arm.

He wanted to see Ye Bufan break down, so he gave Ye Bufan a provocative look.

Ye Bufan was somewhat exasperated, but then he suddenly remembered something and quickly spoke up.

"Mengyao, I didn't lie to you, do you remember...?"

As Ye Bufan recounted various events from their childhood, Ye Mengyao's expression changed slightly.

Seeing that it was effective, Ye Bufan continued to speak:

"Besides, I went to Lin Ba's house that day to save you!"

Ye Mengyao was somewhat suspicious:

"real?"

"Of course it's fake!"

Lin Ba suddenly spoke, his tone calm:

"Mengyao, don't you find it strange? He said he came to rescue you, but who was it that broke into my house that day? Who was it that got shot and driven away by the bodyguards? If he really came to rescue you, why did he do it so stealthily? Why didn't he come to my door openly?"

Ye Bufan panicked and instinctively tried to defend himself:

"Lin Ba! Stop trying to sow discord here! If you hadn't kept my sister by your side, would I have needed to climb over the wall?"
