As for Yan Shuiwu and Yan Shuifeng, their expressions looked even worse. It felt like everything they had said all night was rendered meaningless by one sentence from Ye Hao.

"Sis..."

"No need to say more, you all should go back first. We'll talk after we heal Mom tomorrow." Yan Shuiyue waved her hand to stop them from continuing the conversation.

Helpless, they had no choice but to leave sensibly, waiting to see what would happen the next day.

Lin Ruyu, standing at the pavilion on the second floor, said to Ye Hao: "Don't mind them, my uncles have always been like that, just pretend you didn't hear anything."

"What's there to mind? Your uncles are like my uncles, they just speak a bit harshly," Ye Hao waved his hand and laughed.

"I'm glad you understand, thank you." Lin Ruyu knew Ye Hao's ways; he's typically blunt, quick to throw a punch. The fact that he held back from speaking today owed her mother a face.

"We're family, no need to be so polite." Ye Hao stepped forward to hug Lin Ruyu, but perhaps she was too tired; as she was held, she fell asleep.

Ye Hao smiled and carried her back to her room, then returned to his room to rest.

The next morning, Ye Hao got up early, and Yan Shuiyue was also up early, feeling very excited inside.

Mother couldn't speak, almost like a vegetative state, lying down to eat, eating to lie down. Whenever the weather changed, the old lady would need to be hospitalized for an IV, which was quite troublesome.

Every time Yan Shuiyue saw his mother, he would often shed tears. His heart ached as if being cut by a knife, and today there might be a chance for the old mother to become young again, to stand up, or at least not live lying down. How could he not be excited?

"Auntie, don't be nervous, try to relax. I'll do my best to make the old lady healthy," Ye Hao said with a smile, seeing Yan Shuiyue seemed very tense.

"Mm! I'm not nervous, I believe in you."

Near noon, Lin Tian brought Ye Hao and the family to a villa on the outskirts of Yanjing.

The villa was decorated with grandeur, making one feel at first glance that the owner was wealthy.

Ye Hao wasn't in the mood to admire the villa; instead, Yan Shuiyue quickly entered inside.

By then, the villa was already filled with members of the Yan Family in Yanjing. They all heard the son-in-law of the Yan Family was coming, and as the son-in-law was wealthy, they naturally wanted to ingratiate themselves.

However, in the center of the hall, an elderly woman sat on a wheeled chair. The old lady was dressed in luxurious attire, wrapped up tightly.

Yet Ye Hao immediately noticed many scars on the old lady's body, and even her throat seemed to be deliberately made unable to speak. Seeing this, Ye Hao's face carried some anger, but since he didn't fully understand the situation, he was embarrassed to say anything. After all, if it was self-inflicted harm, mentioning it would only give Yan Shuiyue more heartache.

"Mom!"

Yan Shuiyue rushed up when he saw the old lady, tears streaming down, and Lin Tian followed, also feeling a bit heartbroken.

Every year, Yan Shuiyue would visit the old lady, and this year was no exception. Except, this year seemed to have deteriorated much more than previous years, seeing the wrinkles all over the old lady's face, any child would feel pain in their heart...

"Uh uh..." The old lady wanted to respond to Yan Shuiyue, but couldn't speak, and her gaze was very vacant.

Yan Shuiyue held her hand tenderly and asked, "Mom, do you want to say something? Don't worry, my granddaughter's boyfriend is very good with medicine. I've brought him to see you now, so rest assured, he'll heal you in a while."

Upon hearing this, despite her shyness, Lin Ruyu pulled Ye Hao's hand forward and called, "Grandma."

Ye Hao also greeted, "Hello, Grandma. I'm Ye Hao. I've seen your condition, and I can help you speak first, okay? If anyone has harmed you, you can say so. Would that be alright?"

The old lady made a few sounds, and Ye Hao nodded, signaling for Yan Shuiyue and others to leave.

At this moment, Yan Shuifeng stepped forward to block Ye Hao, asking, "What are you trying to do?"

"Haha, nothing much, just helping Grandma to speak. Why, are you feeling guilty?" Ye Hao's inexplicable words made Lin Tian frown slightly. He was a smart person and knew Ye Hao wouldn't speak recklessly; he only spoke if he had a basis for it.

"Guilty? Why should I feel guilty? I just don't want you to harm my mother's body," Yan Shuifeng said, his eyes slightly evasive.

This made Ye Hao even more certain that the old lady's condition wasn't from illness, but man-made.

Fortunately, Yan Shuiwu didn't display any unusual behavior; otherwise, the Yan Family would truly be heartless, except for Yan Shuiyue of course.

"Haha!" Ye Hao laughed softly, not bothering to explain. He reached his hand to touch the old lady's neck.

"What are you doing? If you come any closer to my mother, I'll charge you with attempted murder." Yan Shuifeng was genuinely afraid of Ye Hao curing his mother's 'illness,' so he dared not let Ye Hao approach her.

"Don't force me to hit you first, you unfilial descendant, huh!" Ye Hao snorted coldly, causing Yan Shuifeng to retreat repeatedly.

However, Ye Hao's hand did land on the old lady's neck.

"Crack!"

The sound of a cervical bone being repositioned echoed, Yan Shuifeng, with anger on his face, shouted at Ye Hao, "Who are you calling an unfilial descendant? Who do you think you are..."

Ye Hao just shook his head and laughed lightly.

Seeing Ye Hao ignoring him, Yan Shuifeng quickly rushed forward, pretending to check on the old lady, calling, "Mom, are you alright? How are you feeling?"

The old lady's eyes remained vacant, she arduously opened her mouth and said, "Thank you, young man."

Upon hearing the old lady speak, Yan Shuifeng was so shocked his eyes widened... Yan Shuifeng was scared, fearing that his mother would reveal his beastly behavior...

However, the old lady only smiled and didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Ye Hao asked, "Grandma, no need to be polite among family. Say whatever you want to say, we younger ones will help you see justice."

"There's nothing to say, I'm just very thankful you cured my muteness, some family matters are better left unsaid." The old lady said with a bitter voice.

"Mom, what family matters? Tell me, I'm your daughter!" Yan Shuiyue also sensed something, meaning that Ye Hao had noticed her mother's condition, and her mother didn't want to reveal it...

"Haha! Nothing to say, just being able to speak is gratifying enough. My dear daughter, you've cried for me all these years." The old lady's comforting voice said.

"Not hard at all, Mom, not hard at all, truly. If you have anything, just tell us your children, okay?" Yan Shuiyue pleaded, wanting to know if her mother was hiding something.

"Haha, Auntie, let's not talk about this now. Let me heal Grandma first, and then we'll talk about what some heartless person has done, alright?" Ye Hao said to Yan Shuiyue.

Upon hearing this, Yan Shuiyue nodded, but her gaze turned unfriendly towards her elder brother, younger brother, and those sister-in-laws, big sisters-in-law... (To be continued.
