With Such a Teammate, What Great Undertaking Could Fail?

Yes, this was also a standard trope in feel-good webnovels.

Wherever the male lead went, he could pick up women—at the police station, there would be a beautiful policewoman; on a plane, there would be a gorgeous flight attendant!

Even if he picked up a little beggar off the street, brought her home, and cleaned her up, she would damn well turn out to be a stunning beauty, and most likely the lost little princess of some super-powerful family!

Every last one of these harem beauties had influential backgrounds!

Once they fell for the male lead, their families would also step forward to support him!

The reason Ye Chen had chosen Suhang as his first stop after returning to the country was precisely because Suhang had so many beautiful women!

While building his harem here, he would conquer all the great families of Suhang and turn them into his backing! They would help him rise step by step in Huaxia!

"How has Old Master Tang been lately? Has he been taking the medicine I prescribed on time?"

Jiang Xiaoyue walked up to Tang Yu and asked with a sweet smile.

"He has. Come to think of it, I really have to thank you. My grandfather has been much better since taking the medicine you prescribed."

Tang Yu hurriedly smiled and thanked Jiang Xiaoyue.

"Why are you being so polite with me, Brother Tang Yu?"

Jiang Xiaoyue cast Tang Yu a coquettish glance, somewhat dissatisfied with his politeness.

The Jiang Family had practiced medicine for generations. They were also a century-old family in Suhang and had close ties with the Tang Family.

With the Tang Family's protection, no one in Suhang dared cause trouble for the Jiang Family.

Likewise, whenever someone from the Tang Family fell ill, the Jiang Family would be the first to come and treat them!

What was more, she and Tang Yu had known each other since childhood. Their relationship was practically that of brother and sister!

[Haha, if I weren't a little more polite to you, I'd be in for it today.]

[Who told you you're part of Ye Chen's harem? That damned stallion is fucking out of his mind.]

[Sigh, it'd be such a waste for my adorable little Xiaoyue to end up with him. That idiot author has shit for brains.]

Hearing that string of inner thoughts out of nowhere, Jiang Xiaoyue froze.

I'm part of Ye Chen's harem? Who the fuck is Ye Chen?

She stared wide-eyed at Tang Yu. "Brother Tang Yu, what are you talking about?"

"Huh? I didn't say anything."

Tang Yu rubbed his nose. Why were all these women acting so strangely today?

Jiang Xiaoyue was also baffled. She had heard it loud and clear just now—it had definitely been Brother Tang Yu's voice!

Fortunately, one of the Wang Family's caregivers came over just then.

Upon seeing Jiang Xiaoyue, she hurried over and respectfully said,

"Divine Doctor Jiang, Old Master Wang just woke up. Would you like to rest first before seeing him, or...?"

"Let's go now."

Jiang Xiaoyue patted her small case, which held her silver needles and various other tools.

"I'll come too."

Tang Yu quickly grabbed his gift and followed after them.

After passing through several corridors, the three arrived at the entrance to a small courtyard.

This was where Old Master Wang lived.

A couplet hung at the entrance to the courtyard, handwritten by Old Master Wang himself.

"Reading is good, farming is good; learn goodness, and all is good."

"Founding is hard, preserving is hard; know hardship, and hardship is no hardship."

Tang Yu glanced at the couplet and could not help rolling his eyes.

This was fucking foreshadowing planted by the author too.

Once Dragon King Ye Chen showed up later, he would memorize the couplet at a glance, then chat with Old Master Wang about it.

Old Master Wang would then decide Ye Chen was a man of extraordinary talent, capable in everything, destined to stand among men like a dragon and phoenix. He would practically want to swear brotherhood with him—not asking to be born on the same year, month, and day, but only asking to...

Just as he finished rolling his eyes, several members of the Wang Family approached from behind.

Naturally, Dragon King Ye Chen came with them!

"Oh, isn't this little Yu? You've come to visit Old Master Wang?"

When they saw Tang Yu, the Wang Family members all greeted him with smiles.

"Hello, Uncle. Hello, Auntie..."

Tang Yu hurriedly smiled and greeted the Wang Family elders as well.

The moment Ye Chen, standing at the back of the crowd, saw Tang Yu, his gaze instantly turned cold and murderous!

He had originally planned to kill this rich second-generation brat who dared compete with him for women today!

But he had only recently returned to the country and had yet to establish a solid foundation! Making too much of a scene would only harm his plans!

So he suppressed the killing intent in his heart and decided to take things slowly!

After their gazes clashed for a moment, Tang Yu sensibly turned his head away.

According to the normal plot, this villain should have stepped up and kicked Ye Chen around a few times.

But it was not as though he had water in his brain.

Fuck, the guy was the author's beloved son. Why provoke him?

The group entered the small courtyard together and soon saw Old Master Wang lying in his sickbed.

Because of his hemiplegia, half his body had lost all feeling, and he could not get out of bed or move around freely.

Even so, seeing everyone come to visit him made him quite gratified.

He smiled and greeted everyone, though his speech was somewhat slurred.

"Dad, rest first and don't talk. Your health comes first."

"That's right. Divine Doctor Jiang came to treat you today. She'll definitely cure you."

"Grandpa Wang, focus on recovering first. Once Xiaoyue cures you, I'll come play chess with you."

Tang Yu hurried over to greet him too. Today's mission was more than half complete.

Next, all he needed to do was quietly stand to the side and enjoy Ye Chen showing off!

At that moment, Ye Chen stood at the back, observing Old Master Wang's condition.

As an all-around master, his medical skills were naturally top-notch!

The four diagnostic methods—observation, listening and smelling, questioning, and pulse-taking—were already second nature to him. He did not even need to take the man's pulse to see where the problem lay!

Standing beside him was Wang Rulong, the only son of the Wang Family's second son!

He was handsome, with a trace of feminine softness in his features—absolutely fitting the standard of a tall, rich, handsome man!

Judging by talent alone, he ranked above average among Suhang's rich second-generation heirs!

But compared to Wang Yixue, he fell far too short.

The Wang Family had once ranked third among the Four Great Families, unable to match the Qin Family!

But after Wang Yixue entered the company, the Wang Family's assets surged by eighty billion in just three years! That was enough to show her outstanding talent in business!

Her brilliance was simply too dazzling, making Wang Rulong fade into the background and appear utterly ordinary.

Unwilling to accept this, Wang Rulong ultimately chose to collude with outsiders in order to seize control of the Wang Family. His fate was easy enough to imagine.

"Sigh, as fellow villains, I do sympathize with you."

Tang Yu could not help shaking his head slightly as he looked at Wang Rulong.

Unfortunately, Wang Rulong did not have the fate of a female lead, so he could not hear Tang Yu's inner thoughts at all!

He was feeling somewhat nervous at the moment and asked Ye Chen in a low voice,

"Brother Ye, are you confident about my grandfather's illness?"

According to their plan, Ye Chen would cure his grandfather, earn the old man's appreciation, and then get close to Wang Yixue!

In the end, Ye Chen would get the beauty, while he himself would get the kingdom!

Ye Chen calmly held up one hand.

"Fifty percent?"

Wang Rulong was instantly dumbfounded. Wasn't that success rate far too low?

"I mean it's entirely under control."

Ye Chen was slightly displeased inside.

Fucking fish-lipped idiot. No wonder he was stupid enough to invite a wolf into his house and come looking for me to cooperate!

Once I get Wang Yixue, you'll be the second stumbling block I crush beneath my feet!

As for the first one, naturally, it's that Tang bastard standing over there!

"As expected of Brother Ye."

Wang Rulong smiled and praised him sincerely.
