âGrandpa,â Ye Rong greeted Old Master Ye with a respectful nod.
Old Master Yeâs face softened with concern. âTake a seat, Rong. You shouldnât overexert yourself.â
Assisted by Madam Su, Ye Rong slowly sat down, his frailty evident.
Old Master Yeâs worry was apparent. âWhat brings you back so suddenly? And without a word to any of us? How are you feeling?â
Ye Rong, the reclusive Fourth Young Master of the Ye family, had been battling illness since he was young. His public appearances were rare, making him almost a stranger in his own home. Even Ye Nanshen, had seen him only a handful of times.
Madam Su, ever graceful, spoke for her son. âDonât worry, Mr. Ye. Rongâs health is much better. Heâs been missing home, so we decided to come back. We didnât expect to arrive amid such a lively moment.â
All eyes turned to Madam Su, who greeted everyone in the living room with composed grace.
However, when her eyes landed on Rong Qi, they widened in surprise and delight. She stepped forward, examining Rong Qi closely, âIs it you? Youâ¦â

âCough⦠Shen, Rong Qi,â Ye Rong greeted, his voice weak but respectful.
Ye Rong addressed them together, unable to ignore Ye Nanshenâs imposing presence beside Rong Qi.
Ye Nanshen nodded, and Rong Qi responded with a gentle smile.
âThey seemed to know Rong Qi.â Mrs. Ye Sr. thought. She asked, âDid you just say Rong Qi saved Ye Rong?â
Madam Su affirmed, âYes.â
âYes, she did,â Madam Su replied, her eyes now on Old Master Ye. âThe day we returned, my son fell ill at a mall. Rong Qi was there and helped him. The doctors said if not for her, he might not have made itâ¦â
Her words trailed off, the gravity of the situation unspoken but understood.
Madam Liu, skeptical, chimed in. âHer? Saving Ye Rong? How? We know his condition. How could she possibly⦠Madam Su, you might be mistaken.â
After Ye Rongâs parentsâ divorce and his fatherâs death, Madam Su and Ye Rong had moved abroad. Under Mrs. Ye Sr.âs directive, she was not acknowledged as a Ye family member, hence referred to simply as âMadam Suâ..
