Chapter 128

At this moment, facing Xiao Xiao Churan's questioning, her mother-in-law Ma Lan said unpleasantly: "Say what you will, you still have the blood of the Xiao family flowing in your veins! Besides, your grandmother has already apologized to me, saying she was confused for a moment and was driven mad by Xiao Xiao Hailong's sowing of discord. And now Xiao Xiao Hailong has been severely punished by her, so what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Xiao Xiao Churan said angrily: "So what if she apologized? I know my grandmother better than anyone. Even if she apologized, it definitely wasn't sincere! She just wants me to go back and help her secure the partnership with the Dihao Group."

Ma Lan hurriedly persuaded: "Don't think of your grandmother so badly. We're all family; how can there be grudges that last overnight?"

"I am not family with the Xiao family," Xiao Xiao Churan said angrily. "And it's impossible for me to go back to work at the Xiao Group."

"What kind of talk is that?" Ma Lan said with dissatisfaction. "Your grandmother has already realized her mistake. Are you going to make an elder lower her face to apologize to you?"

As she spoke, Ma Lan added: "To show her sincerity, your grandmother even broke precedent and gave me a gold necklace and two jade bracelets..."

"Mom, just say you want the jewelry Grandma gave you, and that's it."

Xiao Xiao Churan said this in annoyance, then ignored Ma Lan and turned to walk into the bedroom.

Ye Chen also hurriedly followed her in.

Ma Lan said angrily in the living room: "Look at your daughter."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xiao Changkun also ignored her and turned away.

In the bedroom, Xiao Xiao Churan was still angry and complained to Ye Chen: "I really didn't expect the Xiao family to use jewelry to bribe my mom. Isn't it just because they know Mom is blinded by greed? Mom is the same; the Xiao family gives a few pieces of jewelry and says a few nice words, and she gets confused and forgets how they insulted her back then."

Although Ye Chen was unhappy, it wasn't appropriate for him to speak ill of his mother-in-law, so he could only persuade her: "When we broke with the Xiao family, Mom didn't follow us, so she might not know the Xiao family's despicable methods."

Xiao Xiao Churan said: "Then what should I do if she insists I go back to work?"

Ye Chen said: "Consider it yourself. I support whatever decision you make."

Xiao Xiao Churan nodded and said firmly: "I still want to start my own business properly!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "That's what I think too. Start your business well, and you will definitely succeed!"

As they spoke, Ye Chen thought to himself that he should find time to call Qin Gang of the Qin family, Chen Zekai of the Buckingham Palace, Master Hong Wu who was in the underworld, Song Wanting of the Song family, and Wang Zhenggang of the Wang family out for a meal together, give them a heads-up, and let them take good care of his wife's career in the future.

Just as he was thinking about this, Ye Chen suddenly received a call from Song Wanting. She said respectfully on the phone: "Master Ye, it's me, Song Wanting. I wonder if you are busy?"

Ye Chen said indifferently: "No, Miss Song, feel free to speak if you have something to say."

Song Wanting said: "Master Ye, my grandfather has been unwell lately, and we haven't been able to figure out what's wrong. I wonder if you have time to come to my grandfather's house and take a look at him?"

As she spoke, Song Wanting added: "Don't worry, we definitely won't treat you poorly regarding the consultation fee."

Ye Chen thought that Song Wanting was the daughter of a top family in Jin Ling, and in the future, when his wife started her business, he might need her help, so he readily agreed: "Then let's make it tonight."

Song Wanting said gratefully: "Very well, I will come to pick you up tonight!"

"Good."

After hanging up Song Wanting's call, Ye Chen said to Xiao Xiao Churan: "A friend is looking for me tonight, so I won't be eating at home."

Xiao Xiao Churan nodded and didn't ask much, only instructing: "When you're out, don't always mess with that Feng Shui stuff. If someone treats you like a swindler, it will cause trouble."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

In the evening, Song Wanting drove to the residential area to pick up Ye Chen herself.

Seeing Ye Chen, she cupped her hands very respectfully and said: "Master Ye, I've caused you trouble."

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Miss Song, there's no need to be so polite."

After saying this, he saw the diamond bracelet on her wrist and asked curiously: "The bracelet you lost last time, is this the one?"

Song Wanting hurriedly nodded and said: "It's this one. It was left to me by my mother before she passed away. It's as important as my life to me. Thanks to Master Ye, otherwise, I might never have found it again."

Ye Chen said with a smile: "Your fate with it wasn't over. Even if I hadn't helped you, it might have eventually found its way back to you after some time."

Song Wanting knew Ye Chen was being modest and hurriedly said: "Master Ye, a master with real ability like you is rare to begin with, and to be so modest and low-key, it's truly unheard of."

Ye Chen smiled and said: "Miss Song, there's no need to suck up to me. Let's hurry and get to business."

Song Wanting hurriedly nodded and said: "Master Ye, please get in the car!"

Sitting in Song Wanting's Rolls-Royce, the driver drove like the wind toward the Song family's mansion in Jin Ling.

This was a typical Chinese-style villa, with a magnificent and grand design, as well as seven layers of gardens, exuding a sense of classical beauty and poetic charm, showing the owner's elegant taste.

Moreover, the estate covered a vast area. Being able to own such a large piece of land in Jin Ling was enough to show the Song family's wealth and power.

Led by Song Wanting, Ye Chen came to the main courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a young man in a suit and leather shoes walking this way with an old man of ancient appearance and a young girl.

"Sister, who is this..."

The handsome young man looked at Ye Chen with suspicion.

"This is Master Ye." Song Wanting introduced them separately: "Master Ye, this is my cousin Song Rongyu."

Ye Chen nodded: "Hello."

"Master Ye?"

The young man scanned Ye Chen from head to toe and then said sarcastically: "Sister, you invited a so-called master who is even younger than me to treat Grandfather? Isn't this a bit of a joke?"

Ye Chen felt a slight stir in his heart upon hearing this.

On the way here, Song Wanting had mentioned that Old Master Song was currently critically ill and hanging by a thread.

The younger generation of the family were all showing off their own abilities, inviting countless famous doctors over this period, hoping to cure Old Master Song and thus make a great contribution, so they could get a larger share when the property was divided later.

Especially Song Wanting and her cousin Song Rongyu.

But unfortunately, these famous doctors who were invited all returned in failure.

This Song Rongyu seemed to be somewhat hostile toward Song Wanting, so he was also full of displeasure when looking at him.

Song Wanting spoke up at this moment: "Cousin, Master Ye is very capable. Previously, when my luck was very bad, it was Master Ye who helped me resolve and reverse it. It's truly a great divine power."

Song Rongyu said with disdain: "Sister, to treat Grandfather, we need a divine doctor, not a Feng Shui master who plays at gods and ghosts, you know?"
