Chapter 95: I’ll Show You What Kind of Man I, Ye Tianlin, Am

The power of the Hong family overseas has been evident to all for many years. They are a truly eminent and illustrious clan, with a foundation of extraordinary depth, on the same level as the Ye aristocratic house!

Ye Tianlin was nothing more than the young master of the Ye family, and he had not even officially taken power yet. As for his position in the Yunyun Sea Chamber of Commerce, it was merely a result of that identity.

And yet Ye Tianlin dared to claim that the Hong family’s overseas partnership had been arranged entirely by him?

The Old Madam shook her head, finding it utterly preposterous, nothing more than Ye Tianlin’s stubborn vanity.

Little did she know that the truth was exactly as Ye Tianlin had said: the Hong family’s overseas cooperation really was the main event he had personally arranged.

That was because the Hong family overseas had long since been completely subdued by the power of the capital consortium in the imperial capital, becoming a dependent branch family under its command.

And this main event was intended for the Old Madam to witness with her own eyes and truly understand that even after leaving the Ye aristocratic house, he still had a world of his own.

More than that, this world was plainly so formidable that even the Ye aristocratic house could not compare, could not hope to reach it; even suppressing the Ye family would be nothing more than a handful in his palm, a mere matter of inches!

"I know that even if I say it now, you certainly won’t believe me. Rather than explain it here, it would be better to wait until the truth comes out, and then you can take a proper look for yourselves," Ye Tianlin said.

"Of course I won’t believe you. After all, such a thing is simply impossible. But since you insist on doing this, then just wait and see what consequences follow!" The Old Madam rose unhurriedly. After leaving those words behind, she turned and walked out of the ward.

Jiang Yingxia stamped her feet in exasperation, unable to hold back her complaint. "We could have resolved this just now, but you insisted on talking back like that. I really don’t know what to say to you!"

With that, Jiang Yingxia hurried out as well.

Once the ward fell quiet again, Su Rulan could no longer hold on and collapsed to the floor.

Ye Tianlin slowly bent down. Before he could say anything to comfort her, Su Rulan completely broke down emotionally. She fell into Ye Tianlin’s arms and cried with heart-rending sorrow!

"Tianlin, please stop standing up for me against your grandmother, okay? It’s useless. Relying only on our own efforts, we can never possibly change anything."

"It’s all because I’ve been too selfish, dragging you down step by step. Just like your mother said, I should know my place and not destroy your future with my own hands."

"As long as I leave completely, there will be no more stumbling block by your side. Then when you return to the Ye aristocratic house, everything will naturally fall into place!"

"So let’s not prolong the pain. Let’s get divorced!"

By the time she finished speaking, Su Rulan was already crying so hard she could not form a coherent sentence, her face drenched in tears.

Ye Tianlin’s heart felt as though it had been pierced by knives. Tears welled in his eyes as he held Su Rulan tightly in his arms. His whole body trembled uncontrollably, and the pain in his heart had reached its limit.

If not for the Old Madam’s deliberate suppression, how could Su Rulan have been driven to such a state, willing to give him up just to preserve his future?

Divorce?

Ye Tianlin would absolutely not agree, nor would he let the Old Madam have her way!

Because from beginning to end, Su Rulan had never known the truth. Back then, in order to protect her pride, he had deliberately chosen not to reveal the secret of the imperial capital consortium.

But if Su Rulan knew, everything would be entirely different!

At this moment, Ye Tianlin could no longer worry about so many things, because once this relationship was gone, then no matter how carefully he tried to preserve his wife’s dignity, it would all be meaningless!

So Ye Tianlin lifted Su Rulan into his arms, gently laid her on the bed, and said solemnly, "Rulan, it seems some secrets can no longer be hidden. I have to let you know the truth!"

"Tianlin, let’s separate. Stop deceiving yourself and me. I don’t want to be your burden anymore. I want you to return to the Ye aristocratic house properly!" Su Rulan said through tears, choking on her sobs.

"Rulan, I don’t blame you for saying that, because all of this was caused by me. But I’m really not deceiving myself; it’s just that you truly don’t understand many things." Without hesitation, Ye Tianlin took out his phone and called Shen Wanjun, asking him to come to the hospital at once.

"It’s already so late. How can we disturb Chairman Shen?" Su Rulan panicked.

Ye Tianlin’s gaze was resolute. "This isn’t a disturbance. It’s a notification. When I first joined the Yunyun Sea Chamber of Commerce, it was not because of my status as the young master of the Ye family. I only didn’t explain it to you because I wanted to take your feelings into account. But in truth, the entire Yunyun Sea Chamber of Commerce exists because of you."

"The Yunyun Sea Chamber of Commerce... exists because of me?" Su Rulan looked deeply moved.

Ye Tianlin nodded slightly. "That’s right. The Yunyun Sea Chamber of Commerce was not only founded for you; even the Hong family overseas is merely a dependent family of the imperial capital consortium—in other words, a servant family!"

"How could that be?" Su Rulan was struck speechless.

Ye Tianlin sat by the bedside and explained, "The Ye aristocratic house has known nothing about this from beginning to end, and I never revealed it either. So of course the Old Madam would not believe it. But given the situation now, I absolutely cannot allow anyone else to remain so brazen. I must also make you clearly understand exactly what kind of person I, Ye Tianlin... truly am."
