Chapter 1542

~7 min read 1,385 words

Xiao Weiwei's accusation made Old Mrs. Xiao's legs go soft, and she almost sat down on the ground.

She never dreamed that the noble person who brought her family back to life was Ye Chen, whom she had always looked down upon and always wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge on!

This reality was as shocking as a big bang in the old lady's heart.

Because she felt that Xiao Weiwei's noble person could be anyone in the world, but the least likely one was Ye Chen.

However, the truth of the matter was exactly this.

It was he who saved Xiao Weiwei from the trap of the slave contract and handed the entire Shangmei Etiquette Company to Xiao Weiwei to manage.

Old Mrs. Xiao was panicked and scared at this time. She also realized in her heart: "The tone I used to talk to Ye Chen just now was too arrogant. Needless to say, Ye Chen must be very angry... Will he be so angry with me that he directly drives Weiwei out of Shangmei Etiquette Company?! The hope of our family of four now rests entirely on her! If Weiwei loses her job, wouldn't we be beaten back to our original shape?! By then, wouldn't I have to go to the supermarket to pull plastic bags for customers again?!"

Thinking of the consequences of offending Ye Chen, Old Mrs. Xiao was terrified. Her expression immediately became very flattering and very self-blaming. She sighed guiltily, "Hey... Ye Chen... it's all Grandma's fault for being blind. Grandma really didn't expect that you could return evil with good, helping Weiwei and helping us so much..."

Speaking of this, Old Mrs. Xiao choked with tears, "You helped us by returning evil with good, but I, this old woman, actually returned good with evil, running over to shout at you on your birthday. I really blinded my dog eyes... You are a big person who doesn't remember the villain's mistakes. For the sake of Grandma being so old, don't be the same as Grandma, okay?"

Ye Chen looked at Old Mrs. Xiao's instantly changed posture and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This old lady has no other skills, but her acting skills are truly powerful. She switches between joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness instantly, even better than an old actor! If she could put this kind of thought into serious matters, the Xiao Group wouldn't have ended up in this situation."

However, Old Mrs. Xiao was old after all, and Ye Chen didn't want to kill her all, cold to the end. Since she softened, it was natural to give her a step down.

So, he said indifferently, "Alright, say a thousand and ten thousand, you are Churan's grandmother after all, I don't want to be the same as you. It's just that from now on, remember, everyone's wells don't interfere with the river. You and your family, don't come to find any trouble and discomfort for our family again, otherwise, I won't be polite!"

Old Mrs. Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this.

Now she finally realized that the basic living security of her family of four was all given by Ye Chen. If she still didn't repent, I'm afraid the whole family would only be able to go hungry and beg for food on the street.

So, she hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking at rice and promised repeatedly, "Ye Chen, don't worry, Grandma will definitely not find any discomfort for you in the future!"

Speaking of this, she smiled flatteringly again and said, "Ye Chen, we are a family after all. In the past, there were just some misunderstandings that couldn't be explained clearly. As long as it's said clearly, everyone is still a loving family. You are my granddaughter-in-law, Churan is my granddaughter, Changkun and Ma Lan are my son and daughter-in-law. We are actually the closest relatives!"

At this time, Old Mrs. Xiao's face was full of smiles and wrinkles, and her tone was a bit humble, "Look, Grandma has apologized, and it's time for our two families to make up. Since today is your birthday, on such a happy day, our two families can just gather together for a meal and completely resolve our previous grievances. What do you think?"

After hearing her words, Ye Chen said with a cold smile, "There's no need to resolve previous grievances. I don't want to have any more entanglement with you, and my family is the same, so don't play this wishful thinking anymore."

As he spoke, in order to completely put an end to the old lady's thoughts, Ye Chen warned seriously, "If you dare to reveal today's matter, as well as the matter of me handing over Shangmei Etiquette Company to Weiwei to manage, to Churan, or to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, then I'm sorry, I will take everything back!"

Old Mrs. Xiao's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

She knew that Ye Chen had sensed her intention.

For the old lady, after learning that Ye Chen was Xiao Weiwei's noble person, she realized that Ye Chen not only didn't crash, but his ability and influence were far beyond her previous cognition. After realizing this, the old lady began to think about taking the opportunity to repair the relationship with Ye Chen's family. In this way, the benefits she could get in the future would definitely be much more than now.

But she didn't expect that this little thought of hers was seen through by Ye Chen at a glance. Ye Chen not only rejected her, but even blocked her opportunity to find Xiao Churan, find Xiao Changkun, and even find Ma Lan to save the country by a curve.

At this time, she was ten thousand times regretful in her heart: "Hey! If I had known Ye Chen had such great ability, why did I have to target him all the time, and target their family of four all the time? Now that I have offended their whole family to death, it seems there is no chance to further repair the relationship in the future..."

Ye Chen saw Old Mrs. Xiao's strange expression and didn't say a word, so he questioned, "Did you understand what I just said?"

"Understood..." How could Old Mrs. Xiao dare to disobey Ye Chen? After all, Xiao Weiwei's job now was the survival guarantee of her family of four. If she offended Ye Chen, there would definitely be no good ending.

So, she had to nod dejectedly and say, "Okay... I know..."

Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's good that you know. Remember what I just said, wells don't interfere with the river in the future!"

After speaking, he looked at Xiao Weiwei again and said, "Take her back."

Xiao Weiwei nodded gently and said obediently, "Okay, brother-in-law, I'll take Grandma back now."

Afterwards, she supported Old Mrs. Xiao and said, "Grandma, let's go home."

Old Mrs. Xiao nodded gently like a defeated rooster.

Seeing this, Ye Chen closed the courtyard door directly and walked back to the villa.

Outside the door, just as Old Mrs. Xiao turned to leave, she saw the Hermes bag that Xiao Weiwei was carrying. The bag was not big, and there was a Hermes packaging box inside.

So, she asked subconsciously, "Weiwei, why did you buy Hermes things? With our family's economic situation now, how can we afford such luxury goods!"

Xiao Weiwei was flustered and said, "Ah, this... Grandma... I bought this for someone else, don't worry about it..."

"Bought for someone else?!" Old Mrs. Xiao said angrily, "Now the whole family is living frugally, and I'm hoping that your father and brother will get better soon so they can go out and work to subsidize the family, but you're good, you just earned a little money and started buying luxury goods to give to others?! Are we the kind of family that can give others Hermes at every turn?"

As she spoke, she reached out and snatched the bag, took out a small receipt directly, and exclaimed, "Oh my! A belt is nearly ten thousand yuan?! Are you crazy?! We can't even afford to eat, and you're still burning money here, hurry up and return it for me!"
