Chapter 1540

Ye Chen really didn't expect that the confidence Old Mrs. Xiao had to come and show off in front of him was actually because of Xiao Weiwei.

She definitely didn't know that the reason Xiao Weiwei was able to leap from an etiquette lady who was bullied by others to the general manager of Shangmei Etiquette Company was entirely because he saw she was pitiful and gave her a chance.

Hearing this, he looked at Old Mrs. Xiao as if looking at a stupid old monkey, and said playfully, "Old lady, the most failed point in your life is your short-sightedness. If you could look at problems more deeply, the Xiao family wouldn't have ended up in this situation today."

Then, he said seriously, "If you still want to continue living in Tang Chen Yi Pin, then remember to keep our wells from interfering with the river in the future. But if you can't do this, then maybe you won't have a chance to continue living here in the future."

After saying these things, Ye Chen prepared to close the door, but didn't expect that Old Mrs. Xiao would be anxious upon hearing this, hurriedly stepped forward, blocked the door, and blurted out, "Ye Chen! You actually dare to lecture me, what kind of thing are you?! If it weren't for my dead old man bringing you back from the construction site, you wouldn't know where you'd be begging for food now, and you dare to say I'm short-sighted?! Do you think the foundation of my Xiao family was blown by the wind?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said, "I don't know if your Xiao family's foundation was blown by the wind, but it has already been squandered by you. The Xiao Group should have been bankrupt and liquidated long ago, right? If I'm not mistaken, you should still owe a lot of money to the bank, otherwise your old villa wouldn't have been sealed by the bank. Now, besides being able to temporarily live in this villa of Wu Donghai's, what else do you have? If it weren't for Xiao Weiwei being able to earn more money now, you'd probably still be pulling plastic bags in the supermarket, right?"

Old Mrs. Xiao didn't expect that Ye Chen would hit her pain point with every sentence. The bankruptcy of the Xiao family was the thing she couldn't let go of most in her heart, and being forced to work in the supermarket was the thing she felt most ashamed of in her heart.

Frustrated, she said repeatedly, "Ye Chen! Don't be too proud too early! It won't be long before you definitely crash! By then, I'll be waiting to see your family's joke!"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, "Welcome, welcome. I'm just afraid that with your old body, you won't be able to wait for the day I crash. Wouldn't it be a pity if you couldn't witness it with your own eyes?"

Old Mrs. Xiao gritted her teeth and mocked, "I think it's just a matter of a month or two for you! By then, when those rich people react, they will not only want back the money you swindled from them, but also send you to prison and sentence you to life imprisonment!"

Old Mrs. Xiao became more angry as she spoke, and continued to scold as if she had lost her mind, "By then, Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan, as your accomplices, definitely won't have a good ending!"

As she spoke, she panted and said, "By the way, I almost forgot! There's also Xiao Churan!"

Ye Chen's eyes suddenly turned cold, staring at her and saying coldly, "Old lady, I'm only giving you the last bit of tolerance for Churan's sake, but if you dare to speak ill of her, don't blame me for not being polite!"

"Oh! Do you think I, this old lady, was scared? I've even been to prison, would I be afraid of you?!" Old Mrs. Xiao saw that Ye Chen seemed very sensitive to her mentioning Xiao Churan, and suddenly thought she had grasped Ye Chen's pain point, so her arrogance became even more rampant.

Just as she was about to target Xiao Churan and mock Ye Chen, she suddenly heard someone shout, "Grandma! What are you doing here?!"

The person speaking was actually Xiao Weiwei!

Today was the weekend, and Xiao Weiwei didn't have to go to work, but because there were many students in the training school, she specially went there to watch the professional courses for half a day.

Thinking that today was Ye Chen's birthday, after work, she specially went to the Hermes specialty store and spent over eight thousand yuan to buy a Hermes belt, preparing to give it to Ye Chen as a birthday gift.

Although Xiao Weiwei knew very well that with Ye Chen's current economic strength, a Hermes belt really didn't count for much in his eyes.

But for Xiao Weiwei now, this was one of the few luxury goods she could afford.

After all, she was earning money alone to feed four people, and her father and brother also needed a lot of medical expenses, so she had always been frugal and finally saved up these eight thousand yuan.

After she asked the clerk to help wrap the belt in the specialty store, she had been considering how to hand the gift to Ye Chen on the way back.

After thinking about it, she planned to put the gift in the mailbox at Ye Chen's door, and then send Ye Chen a WeChat message, letting Ye Chen come out to get it himself.

She felt that this was relatively safe and wouldn't be known by others, especially her sister Xiao Churan.

Moreover, if Ye Chen didn't want to accept her gift, he wouldn't have a chance to refuse it face-to-face, which would leave her some room.

However, just as she was about to pass by Ye Chen's door, she heard her grandmother's frustrated voice from quite far away. Looking closely, her grandmother was actually blocking Ye Chen's door and arguing with Ye Chen!

This scared half of Xiao Weiwei's soul away!

So, she hurriedly ran wildly in her high heels, quickly came to Ye Chen's door, grabbed Old Mrs. Xiao, and pulled her without saying a word, saying, "Grandma, come home with me quickly!"

After this period of tempering, Xiao Weiwei could be said to be very observant. Seeing her grandmother coming to find trouble with Ye Chen, she knew that her grandmother must have caused a big disaster. At this time, she must not continue to argue with her at Ye Chen's door, otherwise, if her emotions got the better of her, she didn't know what she would say to anger Ye Chen.

Therefore, the best way was to get her grandmother away first, and then find a way to apologize to Ye Chen!

Old Mrs. Xiao didn't expect Xiao Weiwei to come back at this time. Seeing her pulling her to leave as soon as she arrived, she hurriedly said, "Oh Weiwei, don't pull me. I tell you, this guy Ye Chen is about to crash, what are you afraid of him for? Maybe in a few days, their whole family will beg us to take them in!"

Xiao Weiwei felt her back was full of cold sweat and blurted out, "Grandma, what nonsense are you talking about! Brother-in-law is so capable, how could he crash! Apologize to brother-in-law quickly, and let's go home after apologizing, don't add trouble to brother-in-law here!"

Old Mrs. Xiao raised her eyebrows, "What?! Let me apologize to him? Does a charlatan like him who only knows how to bluff and swindle all day deserve me apologizing to him?! Humph! I tell you Weiwei, you were deceived by his fake appearance of being responded to by everyone! Look at his birthday today, not even one person came to give him gifts. What does this represent? This represents that he is already failing! Maybe he will be settled accounts with after autumn!"

Xiao Weiwei knew very well that Ye Chen's connections in Jin Ling were extremely powerful, how could he crash just because he said so?

If Ye Chen was really going to crash, then Liu Zonghui, the previous boss of Shangmei Etiquette Company, would definitely come back to find her and snatch the company back as soon as possible.

Therefore, there was no need to look at anything else. As long as Liu Zonghui hadn't come to find her, then Ye Chen definitely couldn't crash.

The only possibility was that her grandmother had caused a big disaster again!
