Ye Sheng Nian very rarely mentioned her mother to her. She always remembered when she was very young, her mother would hold her in her arms and sing songs softly. Her father stood in the distance with his hands behind his back, looking at them with this kind of gentle gaze.

After that incident, his father refused to mention anything about his mother. It was unknown if it was because he was afraid of touching Ye An Ran's sore spot, or because he was unwilling to uncover the scar on his heart.

His mother was a scar on his father's heart. Every time she mentioned it, she would tear it off. Blood flowed profusely, but no matter what, it couldn't cover up her empty feelings.

"Dad." She smiled bitterly and pushed the hair behind her ear.

Ye Sheng Nian seemed to be immersed in his memories, every time he saw Ye An Ran's face he would unconsciously think of many things from the past.

"Ye An Ran, tell me honestly, how does Gao Min usually treat you?"

He was really worried that this broken body of his would end up driving to the west some day. He couldn't stop worrying as he tossed Ye An Ran to Ye Family and to Gao Min.

She didn't want her father to worry about her. She was well aware of this, and her weakened father's most important thing right now was to take care of his illness. If she were to be distracted again, it would only get worse.

She patted the back of Ye Sheng Nian's hand and said with a comforting smile, "We are doing very well, there's no need for you to worry."

"Do you really think I'm stupid?" Ye Sheng Nian shook his head and sighed, "I'm really old and sick, but my eyes are still very bright."

"Dad!"

Without waiting for her to say more, he interrupted her: "That day when I went to the company, I heard Gao Min arguing with you."

Ye An Ran was slightly baffled as she did not expect such a thing to happen. With a probing tone, she asked: "Did you hear that?"

"The sound is so loud, could I have been deaf or something?" Ye Sheng Nian squinted his eyes. Because he felt that it was hard to breathe, he couldn't breathe smoothly.

She wanted to tell her father not to worry about these things, but the words wouldn't come out of her mouth.

One was his wife, the other was his daughter.

"Of course, her temper is a bit stubborn, and her words aren't pleasant to the ears. However, all of these are for Xin Ai's sake, so some methods are inevitably a bit excessive and inappropriate. Don't bother about her."

"I understand," she said, squeezing his palm with a gentle smile. "I won't blame her."

Ye Sheng Nian was suddenly pierced by the smile, and a bit of jealousy rose in his heart. That smile matched perfectly with his memory, and he couldn't help but feel a bit absent-minded.

He turned his face and let out a few heavy breaths, then turned back to look at Yun Che. "My days are numbered, Ye An Ran.

"Dad, don't say that. You'll definitely get better." Even though she knew there were some differences between what she had said and what she had said, she truly hoped that it was reality.

She didn't want him to die. She wanted him to get better.

"I know my own body, so there's no need to comfort me," he coughed twice, and laughed a little miserably. "Ye An Ran, I still have some assets, so after I leave, I'll give them all to you."

The corners of her eyes were slightly red. She leaned forward and almost fell down on the bed. "What nonsense are you talking about? What can't you leave? You'll be very healthy, and I don't want your property."

Ye Sheng Nian was afraid that after he left, Ye An Ran would not be able to win against the Ye Family, and would not be able to win against Gao Min. He had already seen her mother suffer, and he did not want Ye An Ran to suffer any more.

"Ye An Ran, you have to think carefully. This is extremely important to you, and after I leave, there might not be anyone left to protect you anymore." The more Ye Sheng Nian spoke, the more sad he felt, and his voice was choked with sobs.

"I don't want it. I just want you to be fine."

She lowered her head slightly, not wanting her father to see the weakness in her eyes.

She felt that she had received enough. Although her mother had left early, her father had loved her deeply due to his guilt and guilt, protecting her at all times, afraid that she would be harmed in Ye Family.

Seeing her expression, Ye Sheng Nian silently sighed, he knew that Ye An Ran would not accept it, and became even more worried.

"You don't understand, Ye An Ran," he said after pausing for a while. "In two days, I will have a private lawyer meet with you alone.

With these properties, she would be able to have the confidence to negotiate with Gao Min, and compete with her on the same platform. Ye An Ran did not understand now, and this was also what Ye Sheng Nian was most worried about.

"Don't think too much into it," Ye An Ran said as he stood up and wiped the corner of his eyes with the back of his hand. "You have just woken up, and your body is still unstable.

After saying that, he lowered his head and walked out of the room. However, just as he walked out of the room, he bumped into someone who was coming towards him.

She looked up and saw that it was Gao Min.

Ye An Ran's eyes were filled with tears, which immediately made Gao Min feel that something was amiss. She looked through the glass in the door, grabbed his wrist and asked: "Is Sheng Nian awake?"

"You'll know whether he's awake or not after you go in and take a look." She struggled free from Gao Min's shackles, her voice cold.

Gao Min then pulled Ye An Ran to the side. Seeing that there was no one around, she wrapped her arms around her chest and asked: "Did Sheng Nian say anything to you?!"

Although it was a question, it was extremely assured, and Gao Min's eyes practically shone with a bright light.

"Nope." She was too lazy to deal with her. She just wanted to get out of here.

"Nonsense!" He must have told you something! "

Gao Min was in a dangerous state at all times. If she were to wake up, she would have to deliver the things she cared about the most right away. The only thing she hated was that she wasn't standing guard by her bedside at the time, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to give Ye An Ran an opportunity.

"If you want to know, then go and ask your father. I have nothing to say to you." She waved her hand to hurry up.

As if he had seen through her absent-mindedness, Gao Min was infuriated, but he could not do anything about it. He could only warn angrily: "Ye An Ran, listen carefully, every centimeter in Ye Family belongs to the Ye Family, even if Golden Year leaves, it has nothing to do with you, you better not covet it!"

These words were truly laughable. Ye An Ran looked at her with an even more pitiful and sympathetic gaze.

She had always been fighting for it, afraid that someone would steal her, take away everything that Xin Ai had. However, what she did not know was that there were many things that were far more important than money.

Ye An Ran could only sigh and turn to walk towards the nurses station.

After she had sorted out her father's affairs, she went downstairs to buy some food. However, her eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the television that was hanging in the hall.
