Chapter 128

At this moment, facing Xiao Churan's questioning, her mother-in-law Ma Lan said unpleasantly, "No matter what, the blood of the Xiao family flows in your veins! Besides, your grandmother has already apologized to me, saying she was confused for a moment and was angered by Xiao Hailong's sowing of discord. And now, Xiao Hailong has been severely punished by her, so what else are you dissatisfied with?"

Xiao Churan said angrily, "So what if she apologized? I know my grandmother better than anyone; even if she apologized, it was definitely not sincere! She just wants me to go back and help her secure the cooperation with the Emgrand Group."

Ma Lan hurriedly persuaded, "Don't think of your grandmother so badly; you are all family, how can there be grudges that last overnight?"

"I am not family with the Xiao family," Xiao Churan said angrily. "And I will not 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, you might as well just say you want the jewelry Grandma gave you."

Xiao Churan said this in annoyance, 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 Changkun ignored her as well and turned to leave.

In the bedroom, 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 greedy for money? Mom is also like that; the Xiao family sends 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 ties with the Xiao family, Mom didn't follow us, so she might not know the despicable methods of the Xiao family."

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

Ye Chen said, "Consider it yourself; I will support whatever decision you make."

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

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "I think so too; start your business well, and you will definitely succeed!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen thought to himself that he should find time to call Qin Gang of the Qin family, Chen Zekai of Buckingham Palace, Hong Wu, who was in the underworld, Song Wanting of the Song family, and Wang Zhenggang of the Wang family to have a meal together, and give them a heads-up to take 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, who 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, please speak if you have something."

Song Wanting said, "Master Ye, my grandfather has been unwell lately, and we haven't been able to figure out what the problem is. 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 will definitely not 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, saying, "Then let's make it tonight."

Song Wanting said gratefully, "Alright, I will come to pick you up tonight!"

"Good."

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

Xiao Churan nodded and didn't ask much, only urging, "When you are out, don't always mess with that Feng Shui stuff with others. 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 complex to pick up Ye Chen in person.

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. My mother left it to me before she passed away; it's as important to me as my life. Thanks to Master Ye, otherwise, I might never have found it back."

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

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

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Miss Song, there's no need to flatter 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, including seven layers of gardens, exuding a sense of classical beauty and poetic charm, showing the owner's elegant taste.

Moreover, the estate occupied a vast area; being able to own such a large piece of land in Jin Ling showed the wealth and power of the Song family.

Under Song Wanting's guidance, Ye Chen arrived at the main courtyard. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a young man in a suit and leather shoes walking over with an elderly man of ancient appearance and a young girl.

"Sister, this is..."

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 now in critical condition, his life hanging by a thread.

The younger generation in the family were all showing their own abilities, and during this period, they had invited countless famous doctors, 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, all these famous doctors who were invited returned in defeat.

This Song Rongyu seemed to be somewhat hostile toward Song Wanting, so the look he gave him was also full of displeasure.

Song Wanting spoke up at this time: "Brother, Master Ye is very powerful. Previously, when my luck was very bad, it was Master Ye who helped me resolve and reverse it; it is truly a great supernatural power."

Song Rongyu said with contempt, "Sister, treating Grandfather requires a divine doctor, not a Feng Shui master who plays at ghosts and gods, do you understand?"
