He broke his vows for her, and a tycoon descended to earth for love.

Chapter 279 Tian Tian's Accident

Nan Qingshu's temper naturally prevented her from obediently cooperating with Ye Zhenghao. Every time the two met, sparks flew. However, even the most assertive woman is no match for an equally assertive man.

In the end, Nan Qingshu was tied up and put into a car by Ye Zhenghao's men.

Ye Zhenghao couldn't wait any longer once he realized that Si Yi was already in City A. After seeing Nan Qingshu off, he immediately got into his car and went to the agreed location.

Siyi and Ye Zhenghao had been to that coffee shop a few times before. Over the years, Ye Zhenghao would occasionally go there for a cup of coffee whenever he had time. In fact, most of this area has been demolished and rebuilt, but this coffee shop is the only one that has been preserved.

The owner is a very sentimental person, and this coffee shop was originally run by him and his wife. Now that his wife is gone, he still wants to preserve this memory.

When Ye Zhenghao arrived, the owner just came out from the inner room. Upon seeing his regular customer, he greeted him warmly, "Oh, what's the wind blowing today?"

People in City A naturally knew Ye Zhenghao's identity. "Isn't Director Ye busy lately?"

"good."

Ye Zhenghao smiled slightly at his boss and nodded, "I have an appointment with someone."

"I know, even Director Ye's sister is here today. It's been almost five years since I last saw her, hasn't it? The little girl has grown even more beautiful."

As the boss spoke, he pointed inside, "Look, sit right there."

Ye Zhenghao followed the gaze and saw Siyi sitting by a screen.

The lighting was dim, but a few candles were lit on the low table in front of them.

She rested her chin on her hands, and the candlelight reflected perfectly in her eyes, the flickering flames like dark gems, flashing brightly.

Her eyes weren't very bright; instead, they held a hint of sadness.

Like embers buried in ashes, only occasionally flashes of brightness, which are nothing more than a brilliance from another world.

Ye Zhenghao realized that he hadn't seen her for almost five years. His little sister, whom he had always cherished like a treasure, seemed to have really grown up.

However, she is now a mother of two, and her temperament has indeed changed a lot.

He was a little excited, and finally coughed lightly before walking over.

The coffee shop was not crowded at this time, and Siyi soon heard footsteps. She looked up and saw Ye Zhenghao standing in front of her.

She flashed a big smile, "Big brother."

Five years had passed since he last called her "Big Brother." Now that she was so close, Ye Zhenghao was naturally gratified. He casually took off his coat and placed it on the back of the chair, then sat down opposite her. He carefully observed Siyi's expression and breathed a sigh of relief after a moment. "You came back so suddenly. I was really afraid something had happened to you."

Siyi couldn't help but laugh at Ye Zhenghao's behavior. "Big brother, I just missed you."

She took a breath and said slowly, "Am I a bad sister? All these years, I've never thought of coming back, big brother, but I really miss you."

Ye Zhenghao reached out and squeezed her palm, smiling slightly, "Silly girl, as long as you're okay, it doesn't matter whether you come to see your big brother or not."

The owner brought over coffee, the same flavor they always drank. They each took a cup, and Siyi held the cup with both hands, took a small sip, and then continued, "Brother, how have you been these past few years?"

"pretty good."

Ye Zhenghao nodded, his thin lips parted, and his deep voice carried a confidence that Si Yi had never seen before, "It's not as hard as before, but there's more and more to do. What about you?"

He looked at Siyi, who was all alone, and raised an eyebrow. "Why did you suddenly come back to City A today? And all alone, so late. Do you have someone taking care of the child over there?"

Siyi lowered her eyes, habitually fiddling with the side of her glass, and said softly, "I just suddenly wanted to come back and see you. I originally wanted to go home, but after thinking about it, I decided to come see you first. There's someone to take care of the child. I've already told the nanny to help take care of the child tonight."

"Siyi, thank you for your hard work." Ye Zhenghao knew that Siyi had a child who was born unable to speak. After hesitating for a moment, he still asked, "Is Mengtian still the same?"

Siyi felt a pang of sadness, but her face remained expressionless. "More or less, but don't worry, big brother. Tiantian has always been very well-behaved and smart. How are Mom and Dad?"

Ye Zhenghao crossed his legs and briefly explained the situation of the two elderly people. "Dad's condition is a little better now than it was a few years ago. I think the United States is a better place for Dad to recuperate, so I haven't asked him to come back. He doesn't seem to want to come back either. As for Mom, she is more focused on her health and well-being now. She spends her days at home tending to her flowers and plants. Because of the injury to her face, and because it was taken to the hospital too late back then, she still has scars on her face. She rarely goes out."

Siyi pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Big brother, what about Jiang Jizhen? How is he now?"

Ye Zhenghao wasn't too surprised that she suddenly asked about Jiang Jizhen's condition. He still spoke in his usual gentle tone, "He's still in the hospital, just like before. His condition isn't very good. Because that case happened so long ago, and it was the Lin family who dropped the charges, that's why Mom is alright now. Jiang Jizhen hasn't woken up yet."

Siyi said "Oh," lowered her eyes, and didn't say anything more, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing that she seemed distracted, Ye Zhenghao probably knew that her question about Jiang Jizhen must be related to Jiang Yanhui.

He knew this girl's temper; she had refused to return to City A before, even at the cost of her life, because Jiang Yan was going back.

But now that she's back so suddenly, he suspects she must have already seen Jiang Yan.

These two have somehow managed to get entangled together. He wasn't against it, but he felt it was too unfair to Siyi.

"Siyi, tell your older brother honestly, have you seen Jiang Yanhui?" He finally asked the question.

Siyi's expression flashed slightly unnaturally, and after a moment she nodded. Just as she was about to say something, her phone rang. Siyi took it out, looked at the number, and subconsciously pressed the reject button.

"Brother, I..."

The phone rang again, interrupting her. Siyi frowned, knowing without looking who was calling. Frustrated, she pressed the reject button again, but less than two seconds later, the phone rang again, truly persistent.

Ye Zhenghao was a smart man; he could tell from the situation who had made the call that he was just by looking at the situation.

He didn't understand love and romance much before, so he once opposed Siyi and Jiang Yanhui, feeling that they were from two different worlds. But now his thoughts are not as strong as they used to be.

Although he wasn't sure why he had changed his mind, he had always been someone who followed his heart.

Perhaps it's because Siyi already has two children, and Jiang Yanhui is still the child's father. Even if he, as the uncle, strongly opposes it, it wouldn't be good for anyone.

Moreover, the Jiang family, which he has been keeping a close eye on all these years, has indeed gotten on the right track, without any shady dealings.

"Was that Jiang Yan calling?" Ye Zhenghao raised an eyebrow, took a sip of his coffee, and said, "Answer it. Just pretend your older brother doesn't exist."

Siyi's face grew even more embarrassed. She really didn't want to answer the phone, but it kept ringing, and she couldn't ignore it. In the end, she could only stand up and walk a little away before answering the call.

"Where are you?" As soon as the call connected, before she could even say a word, Jiang Yan asked her abruptly from the other end.

Siyi was already in a bad mood, and he just had to come at her with such a rude tone at this moment, so naturally she didn't have a nice tone either. "Do I need to report to you? Who do you think you are? Jiang Yan, don't call me again, aren't you annoying?" After shouting that, she hung up the phone.

But before she could calm down, her phone rang again in just five seconds. This time, Siyi was really annoyed and simply turned it off, finally feeling that the world was quiet again.

She returned to her seat and chatted with Ye Zhenghao about everyday things. Finally, Ye Zhenghao drove her back to the hotel she had booked. On the way, he asked her why she didn't go home to stay.

Siyi felt that she hadn't been home for too long, and she wasn't mentally prepared to go back so suddenly. She honestly told Ye Zhenghao that she needed some more time, and she would go back once she was fully recovered.

Ye Zhenghao knew, of course, that she had endured a lot back then, so he didn't force her. He took her to the hotel, stayed with her for a while, and then left because he had something to do.

Siyi was exhausted after a long day. By the time she finished showering and came out, it was almost nine o'clock. She figured Beibei and Tiantian were probably already asleep. In the past, when she had to go on business trips, she would ask the nanny to take care of them for one night, so she wasn't too worried that they would not be able to adapt.

However, thinking that Jiang Yan might be in B City and she didn't know what the situation was there, she hesitated for a moment, then reassembled her phone, turned it on, and prepared to make a call back to ask.

Who knew that as soon as I turned on my phone, countless missed calls and more than a dozen unread text messages popped up.

Siyi's heart skipped a beat. Although it was the same number, she didn't know if she was being too sensitive, but for a moment, she had a bad feeling.

Her finger twitched, and she finally opened the first unread text message. The simple words on it, like the sender's own, were domineering—[Sisi, answer the phone now!]

[Damn it, your phone is still off? Something happened at home, where were you?]

[Ye Siyi! You damned woman, Tiantian's in trouble, why aren't you answering my call right now?]

Okay, I was wrong, it's all my fault. I'm not a good father. You're a wonderful mother, but Tian Tian just wants to see you right now. Call me immediately after you receive this text.

[Honey, I know you're still angry, but please don't joke about our daughter's health. I'm really at my wit's end right now; I'm at a hospital in City B.]

.........

Several text messages followed, all urging her to call back immediately. Siyi was startled and abruptly stood up from the edge of the bed, but her body swayed instinctively, almost causing her to fall.

Her face was deathly pale, almost frighteningly so, because she was so panicked that she was practically holding her breath while reading those messages.

My immediate thought was to make a call, but I couldn't find the simple button to return a call even after searching for ages.

calm……

Calm down...

Tian Tian will definitely be alright, she will definitely be alright. Tian Tian has been doing well all these years, she has always been doing well, how could something suddenly happen to her?

No... nothing will happen...

But tears suddenly streamed down her face, falling directly onto the phone screen. Her hands trembled as she forcefully wiped them away. Finally, she found the call button, pressed it hard, and the call connected…

The call was answered after only two rings. Jiang Yan's voice was dry and weak, "You finally called back. Where are you? I'll come pick you up." At this moment, neither of them needed to say much; they were both only concerned about their daughter. "Tian Tian is in the hospital now. Where are you?"

Siyi opened her mouth, but after a long while, she said hesitantly, "I...I'm not in B City."

Jiang Yan was taken aback. "Then where are you?"

"I'll be right back, I'll be there soon..." Siyi seemed not to hear anything, only making promises on the ground. "Tell Tiantian to wait for me, just say Mommy will be there soon..." She thought for a while before remembering that she should ask something, "What's wrong with her? Is she feeling unwell?"

Jiang Yan reached out and pinched his aching nose. He, who was usually so spirited, looked weak and powerless at this moment. "I don't know why, but something has grown on my skin. Didn't you notice it before? The doctor said it's been there for two or three days, but it's not eczema. I still have a fever and I'm delirious while looking for you."

Siyi's heart tightened, and more tears welled up. She could barely control her emotions. Tiantian had always been her precious child. She had always admitted that she loved Tiantian a little more than Beibei, because she felt guilty, because she felt she hadn't given her the most basic, perfect things in life. So she truly loved her to the core. But she had been feeling unwell for two or three days already. Why hadn't she told her?

She can't speak...

She can't speak, so how can she tell herself? Even if she's really uncomfortable, she'll endure it. Tian Tian is that kind of child, so well-behaved and sensible that it breaks your heart.

But what kind of mother is she? She's with her every day, and she didn't even know her daughter was unwell...

Siyi gripped her phone tightly, like a headless fly, repeatedly assuring everyone that she would be at the hospital soon. Jiang Yan noticed something was off about her voice and hurriedly asked before she hung up, "Siyi, where are you? You can't drive right now. Tell me, and I'll come pick you up."

"I said I'll be there right away!" Siyi pressed her hand to her chest, her voice trembling as she said loudly, "Jiang Yanhui, stay with Tiantian, don't go anywhere, don't leave." She took two deep breaths and finally said, "Tiantian knows you are her biological father, she likes you very much, talk to her, don't leave her alone."

Jiang Yan was left dumbfounded. She hurriedly hung up the phone and almost ran to the door before remembering that she had just taken a shower, her hair was still wet, and she hadn't changed her clothes. She went back and changed her clothes before leaving the room.

But when she got to the parking lot, she realized she hadn't even taken her bag; the car keys were still in it. She bit her lip, stomped her foot hard, and with tears welling in her eyes, raised her hand and slapped herself.

Ye Siyi, calm down, calm down!

She sniffed, forcing back her tears, and went back up the elevator to her room. Then she realized that she hadn't even checked out of the room before trying to leave.

Fortunately, she hadn't checked out of the room, so she was able to go back in and find her bag there.

This time, she made sure she had her phone, car keys, and house keys, and made sure she had everything before going downstairs to the front desk to check out, and then going to the parking lot.

Her car was parked on the second basement level, so she needed to take the elevator to go down. Siyi was anxiously waiting for the elevator, but it never came, so she prepared to take the stairs. However, she bumped into someone as soon as she turned around. She heard the other person exclaim in surprise, and the things in their hands fell to the ground.

Siyi knew that she must have been too hasty to bump into someone.

She quickly squatted down to help pick up the items, which were all women's cosmetics, and were quite high-end.

She must be a young lady from a wealthy family.

She kept apologizing and explaining, "I was in such a hurry just now, I'm so sorry, miss, I'm so sorry."

When I looked up, I saw a delicate face, probably in her early twenties, young and energetic, and even more beautiful and charming when she smiled.

"It's alright, Miss. You don't look too well. Are you alright?" The other person spoke in a soft and friendly voice. She bent down to pick up the last item at Siyi's feet, put it in her bag, and then stood up.

Siyi reached out and pressed her aching temples, then stood up. Just as she was about to say something, her eyes flashed, and she suddenly saw the necklace the woman was wearing around her neck.

She felt a sudden jolt in her heart, and for a moment, she forgot to breathe. Her gaze was fixed on the woman's neck, unable to look away.

The woman, noticing that she was staring at her neck, glanced down at it and then smiled slightly. "Isn't this necklace beautiful? Actually, most people who see it will stare at it. My husband gave it to me, saying it's one of a kind in the world, and I love it very much."
