He treated him meticulously, and by nightfall, Ye Shaodong finally fell into a deep sleep.
Lin Ziyi stayed that night to help care for Yan'er.
All night long, Ye Tian did not rest. He massaged Ye Shaodong once every hour. At the same time, he had Ye Shaodong take medicine and undergo acupuncture every two hours.
As dawn broke, Ye Shaodong felt heat all over his body. His feet and legs gradually regained sensation, and his skin could feel the cold and warmth.
He was both happy and moved. A grown man's eyes welled up with tears again.
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Brother, the effect is even better than I expected. Within a week, I'll be able to get you back on your feet."
Ye Shaodong nodded vigorously. "Good. Little Tian, once I recover, you won't have to work so hard." As the elder brother, he was destined to bear all the burdens and protect his younger brother and daughter under his wing.
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Great. Then I'll be free, and all the housework will be yours, Brother."
Ye Shaodong burst into laughter. "Alright, Brother's got it."
Then, with Ye Tian's help, Ye Shaodong began to perform some simple movements. Ye Tian had him repeat these movements to strengthen his weakened body.
After breakfast, Ye Tian took Yan'er to kindergarten and then accompanied Lin Ziyi to the Lin family to attend her grandmother's birthday banquet.
Before leaving, Lin Ziyi picked out two gifts from a pile of presents to celebrate the birthday.
"Will Grandma accept Brother Tian?" Lin Ziyi asked nervously as they drove, a hint of worry on her pretty face.
At that moment, Ye Tian received a call: "Is this Doctor Ye? I'm a friend of President Luo..."
The caller identified himself as Jiang Shengming, who worked in the municipal government and needed Ye Tian's help urgently. President Luo was a businessman in Ye Tian's group chat, and he had already notified them in advance.
Ye Tian didn't think much of it and said he was out and didn't have time. However, the other party insisted he would come over immediately and asked for Ye Tian's location.
Ye Tian gave him the Lin family's address, saying he would arrive in about half an hour. The other party was very grateful and thanked him repeatedly, indicating it was indeed an urgent matter.
Half an hour later, the car drove into a large courtyard covering dozens of acres. The gate was wide open, and luxury cars were parked inside.
Ye Tian drove directly into the courtyard. Just as he was about to get out of the car, a Ferrari pulled up beside them, its appearance far more striking than his 7 Series.
Seeing the car, Lin Ziyi recognized its owner and said in a low voice, "Brother Tian, wait a moment before getting out." She seemed reluctant to encounter the person in the car.
Ye Tian asked, "Ziyi, who is it?"
Lin Ziyi replied, "My cousin from my paternal uncle's family, Lin Changxin."
Lin Jinsheng had three brothers. The eldest, Lin Zhenying, had two sons and a daughter. The third brother, Lin Cheng, had one son and one daughter. Lin Zhenying's eldest son was named Lin Changxin, and his second son was Lin Changyong; both were good-for-nothings.
When Lin Ziyi was young, she was often bullied by Lin Changxin and his siblings. Even now that they were adults, she disliked these cousins.
The door of the Ferrari lifted, and a man in his thirties, wearing a gold earring, with hollow eyes and a constant yawn, stepped out. It was Lin Changxin.
Ye Tian also opened his car door at that moment. Lin Ziyi became a little nervous but followed him out.
Lin Changxin was stunned to see Lin Ziyi and Ye Tian. Then, he frowned and asked, "Ziyi, who is this kid?"
Ye Tian replied, "I'm Ziyi's boyfriend."
Lin Changxin's face turned angry. "Boyfriend? Lin Ziyi, don't you know Young Master Ma is coming to propose today? How dare you bring a man home? Are you that cheap?"
He became increasingly enraged and strode towards Lin Ziyi. Lin Ziyi, having been beaten by him often in her childhood, was frightened and hid behind Ye Tian.
Lin Changxin said coldly, "Kid, get out of the way!" He reached out to push Ye Tian.
But despite his full effort, Ye Tian didn't budge, only looking at him coldly.
Lin Changxin was startled. How could this kid be like a mountain? He then raised his hand to strike Ye Tian's left cheek, cursing, "Damn it, how dare you cause trouble at my Lin family!"
"Slap!"
As soon as he raised his hand, Ye Tian slapped him to the ground. Lin Changxin was stunned, sitting on the ground, staring blankly.
