Chapter 82 of "Becoming The Bigshot's Only Love After Breaking Her Engagement" commences with: Ningwan arrived at the Ye Family with a murderous air. The Ye Family’s butler saw her... Don’t miss the next part!

Ningwan arrived at the Ye Family with a murderous air. The Ye Family’s butler saw her and hurriedly greeted, "Third Miss, why did you suddenly...?" Ningwan pushed him aside and coldly demanded, "Where is Ye Pengcheng?" The butler staggered back, his face turning pale with fear. This granddaughter actually called her grandfather by name, it’s simply outrageous. "Ningwan, you are outrageous." Disregarding the butler’s words, Li Meifeng rushed out to angrily scold Ningwan. As Li Meifeng approached, Ningwan mercilessly slapped her across the face, "Aunt, isn’t this even more outrageous?" "Ah, Ningwan, how dare you hit me." Li Meifeng was losing her mind. She rushed at Ningwan, wanting to brawl with her. However, with Zhan Hanjue there, how could he let Li Meifeng get close to Ningwan? The bodyguards who followed stepped up and stopped Li Meifeng. "I know, it must be you people instigating, which is why Ye Pengcheng dared to disturb my parents’ grave. Li Meifeng, let me make it clear today, if anything happens to my parents’ ashes, I’ll make your whole family accompany them in their graves." Ningwan coldly threatened. Li Meifeng was overwhelmed by her domineering aura and stopped shouting, looking at her with fearful eyes. "Bring Ye Pengcheng out." Ningwan coldly ordered. The butler had already sent someone to fetch him. Mr. Ye quickly came in, supported by others. Having not seen him for a while, he had aged significantly. Ningwan frowned. Could Ye Pengcheng be ill? And gravely ill at that. From his appearance, he seemed like a withered tree, a bow with spent strength. "Are you looking for me?" Mr. Ye asked in a deep voice. Although he consciously lowered his voice, it sounded like a cracked gong, with a hoarse buzzing when listened to carefully, suggesting a lung problem. "Where are my parents’ ashes?" Ningwan coldly asked. Mr. Ye replied softly, "I’ve moved them out, hoping to find them a better resting place while I’m still alive. The greatest regret in my life is towards your parents. The only thing I can do for them is this." Ningwan scoffed, "Your words are all fancy. Is it because you’re old and have lived too long that you can lie without remorse? Without even blinking?" "Ningwan, you are being unruly." Ye Henghui also entered and chastised Ningwan, "He is your grandfather, how can you be so disrespectful?" Seeing her husband arrive, Li Meifeng immediately complained, "This girl dared to hit me." Ye Henghui was trembling with anger, "Ningwan, even your father wouldn’t dare disrespect your aunt like this, how dare you?" "What if I dare?" Ningwan loudly challenged, "Today I’ve come to take my parents’ ashes. Everyone knows the relationship I have with the Ye Family. Put away the sham of morality and decency; if you have demands, state them. Whoever blocks me, I’ll treat them rudely." "Father, this... outrageous, truly outrageous." Ye Henghui was so angry he could only repeat the phrase. Mr. Ye said, "Fine, since you’ve made things so clear, let’s not be perfunctory. Let’s speak frankly." After speaking, Mr. Ye glanced at Zhan Hanjue. Zhan Hanjue said expressionlessly, "As Ningwan’s husband, I will not leave." Mr. Ye had no choice but to say, "Alright, then let’s sit down and have a good talk." "Butler, serve tea to the Third Miss and Third Master." Mr. Ye had someone help him sit down and instructed for tea to be served. After everyone was seated, Mr. Ye slowly spoke, "Ningwan, my request is simple. I know you know Divine Doctor Bai Zhi. Help me find her to treat my illness." "What illness?" "Lung cancer, in the late stage." As expected. Ningwan sneered, "You’ve probably seen many doctors, all of whom told you the disease is incurable." "Western medicine can’t treat it, but perhaps traditional Chinese medicine can offer hope. Divine Doctor Bai Zhi is known to treat all diseases. She must have a way. I know you know her; Zhan Hanjue’s eyes were cured by her. Even blindness can be treated, so she must have a way for my illness," Mr. Ye said confidently. "I’m not sure if it can be treated; I need to ask Divine Doctor Bai Zhi," Ningwan cautiously refrained from giving a definite answer. Mr. Ye nodded, "This matter is up to you, then." "Is that the only condition?" "There’s one more." Mr. Ye glanced at Zhan Hanjue and smiled, "For our Ye Family to be connected by marriage to the Zhan Family, and for you to be loved by Mr. Zhan, is a blessing for us. Historically, such marriages meant mutual prosperity or downfall. The Zhan Family is thriving beyond our reach. We only ask when the Zhan Family dines lavishly, they spare a soup for the Ye Family, so we do not completely fall like the Lin Family." "Mr. Zhan, please reconsider the contract carefully," Ye Henghui immediately interjected. Ningwan said, "I can help with Divine Doctor Bai Zhi’s matters, but not business affairs. Why do you assume he will listen to me? That he will change his decisions because of me? You’re giving me too much credit." "Mr. Zhan, won’t you?" Mr. Ye asked Zhan Hanjue. Zhan Hanjue replied, "I will." Mr. Ye smiled, then looked at Ningwan, "Hear that? He said he will." Ningwan frowned, glaring at Zhan Hanjue. Is he crazy? Saying "will" at this moment? "With too many conditions, this becomes unfair. Two urns, two conditions, consider them carefully. I won’t rush you into a decision; inform me when you’re ready. But don’t take too long; I can’t afford to wait. If I die, having my beloved son and daughter-in-law accompany me wouldn’t be bad," Mr. Ye said slowly again. After saying all this, his energy was depleted. He waved for the servants to help him leave. After Mr. Ye left, only Ningwan, Zhan Hanjue, and the Henghui couple remained in the living room. Li Meifeng was still angry about being hit by Ningwan, and as soon as Mr. Ye was gone, she lashed out at Ningwan again, "Ningwan, you haven’t apologized for hitting me." Ningwan sneered, "Are you stupid?" "You... Ningwan, you are outrageous." Li Meifeng trembled with anger. Just then, Ye Xuan returned home and, seeing her mother upset, quickly asked, "Mom, what’s wrong?" Li Meifeng tearfully told her daughter about being hit by Ningwan, "Xuan’er, you have to stand up for your mom." "Ningwan, you bitch, how dare you hit my mom?" Ye Xuan angrily charged at Ningwan to attack. Zhan Hanjue waved his hand, instructing the bodyguards to stop Ye Xuan. "Let’s go!" Zhan Hanjue whispered to Ningwan. Ningwan nodded and left with Zhan Hanjue.
