However, Lin Ziyi didn't want to go anywhere. She clung to Ye Tian in the hotel, indulging in their pleasures until past four in the afternoon when they finally quieted down.
After a brief rest, the two went to the buffet restaurant for dinner at half past five.
After eating, Ye Tian made some preparations and then set off for the Li family's residence. The car arrived at the Li family's grand courtyard around seven o'clock.
Li Taishi personally greeted him at the entrance and said with a smile, "Dr. Ye, thank you for making this trip."
Ye Tian replied, "It's my duty."
After a few pleasantries, Ye Tian was invited into the living room. Elder Li was already waiting there. Upon meeting, he smiled and said, "Young Dr. Ye, I've had wine prepared. Let's have a few drinks, you and I."
Ye Tian smiled and said, "Elder Li, you should drink less."
Li Taishi chuckled, "My father hasn't had alcohol in a long time. He's using your visit as an excuse to have a few drinks."
After some casual conversation, Ye Tian took Elder Li's pulse. Elder Li's condition was very good. He smiled and said, "You've recovered very well. I'll prescribe a few more herbal formulas to regulate your body. Take them for a week."
The Li family was very pleased. Elder Li said, "Young Dr. Ye, you pulled me back from the brink of death. You have saved my life."
Ye Tian replied, "Elder Li, you are too kind. Treating illnesses and saving lives is a doctor's duty."
After prescribing the medicine, a young man walked in. He was around thirty years old, dressed fashionably, wearing a watch worth over a million yuan, and a belt worth over a hundred thousand yuan at his waist.
As soon as he entered, he smiled and said, "Uncle, Grandpa."
Upon seeing this person, Li Taishi's brow furrowed slightly, but he said nothing. Elder Li's face darkened, "Li Xiang, what are you doing here?"
The young man named Li Xiang chuckled, "Grandpa, I came to visit you."
Elder Li sighed, "Speak, have you caused trouble again?"
Li Xiang casually sat down opposite them, not even glancing at Ye Tian. Many people visited the Li family, and he couldn't be bothered to recognize them.
"Grandpa, a friend of mine has started a company and wants to obtain a financial license for third-party payment. But this is quite scarce, and money can't buy it. Can you put in a word with your old subordinates and help my friend get this license?"
Li Taishi asked, "Li Xiang, how much benefit have you received from them?"
Li Xiang smiled, "Uncle, what benefits could I possibly receive? I'm just helping a friend."
Li Taishi retorted, "A third-party payment license is worth hundreds of millions, and it has extremely strict requirements for companies. Do you think it can be given out casually?"
Li Xiang said indifferently, "Uncle, now that my father is gone, you don't want to take care of me anymore?"
These words struck Elder Li and Li Taishi like thorns. Li Xiang was the only son of Li Taishi's second son. His second son, Li Taitong, had died of illness in his thirties, leaving behind one son.
This Li Xiang had been spoiled by his mother since childhood and was neglected in his upbringing. He was very unruly from a young age, dropping out of junior high school to start causing trouble, becoming a notorious troublemaker in the capital.
Li Xiang spent money like water, changing girlfriends daily. When he ran out of money, he would use the Li family's resources to connect people and collect benefits.
He even held shares in many companies, earning hundreds of millions in dividends annually. Despite being very wealthy, he still frequently sought help from Elder Li and Li Taishi to resolve various problems.
Li Taishi found this extremely annoying, as asking for favors meant owing debts, and debts had to be repaid sooner or later.
Elder Li said sternly, "Li Xiang, you don't need to bring up your father. I'm telling you today, unless it's your own personal matter that you bring to us, neither your uncle nor I will help you."
Li Xiang did not get angry and smiled, "You won't help me? Grandpa, I am your grandson!"
Li Taishi said, "Li Xiang, look at what you've become! You have a bad reputation. If it weren't for the Li family's foundation, you would have been shot a hundred times by now."
Li Xiang retorted, "I am a member of the Li family, isn't it natural for me to be arrogant? Why should I be polite to those commoners?"
Elder Li became furious, "Nonsense! Utterly absurd! Get out, get out of here!"
Li Xiang remained seated, a clear ferocity appearing on his face. He said, "Grandpa, I've already promised them. If you don't help me get this done, I'll bother Uncle every day."
Li Taishi said coldly, "It's useless for you to make a scene."
Li Xiang's gaze swept over Ye Tian, and he changed the subject, asking with a smile, "Who is this?"
