Chapter 161: What does it have to do with you?

After the WeChat message was sent, Ye Chen's phone began to receive a non-stop stream of messages.

The first to reply was Song Wanting: "Master Ye, please rest assured, Wanting will definitely come to offer her congratulations in person tomorrow!"

Then came Qin Gang: "Thank you for the invitation, Master Ye. I will definitely go to show my support tomorrow!"

Wang Zhenggang said: "Master Ye, tomorrow I will bring my son and nephew to offer our congratulations in person, and by the way, let these two little brats apologize to you face-to-face..."

Everyone was incredibly excited about Ye Chen's invitation, believing this was a great opportunity to get closer to Master Ye.

Xiao Churan had originally felt some regret about the opening ceremony tomorrow, but she never imagined that her husband had already prepared the grandest show for her!

Returning home, Xiao Churan washed up and went to bed early to prepare for the opening ceremony the next morning.

Ye Chen also went to sleep early, his mind filled with thoughts of how to make his wife the most talked-about woman in all of Jin Ling tomorrow.

The next day.

Today was the opening day set by Xiao Churan.

Because she didn't have much money and was just starting out, Xiao Churan had rented her company's office space in the slightly remote Yongxing Building.

Although the Yongxing Building was a property of a subsidiary of the Dihao Group, it was truly not worth mentioning, and the Dihao Group generally couldn't be bothered to manage it themselves, so they handed it over to some intermediary companies to lease and manage on their behalf.

Originally, Ye Chen had wanted to say a word to Wang Dongxue to let her clear out one of the floors in the Yongxing Building to serve as his wife's studio address.

But thinking about it, he was afraid it would be difficult to explain to Xiao Churan, so he let her spend her own money to rent a very small office.

Xiao Churan and Ye Chen were currently standing at the entrance of the office, waiting for guests to arrive.

Yesterday, Xiao Churan had sent invitations to some of her former business partners from when she was at the Xiao family, and she even summoned the courage to send one to Wang Dongxue of the Dihao Group, but she was still a bit nervous inside, not knowing if these guests would come.

Lacking strength to begin with, if even the opening ceremony were cold and deserted, then the circle would look down on her company even more in the future.

Seeing her nervous expression, Ye Chen spoke up to comfort her: "Wife, it's still early. I estimate that when the time comes, the guests will all arrive. Don't worry."

The set opening time was ten o'clock in the morning; it had just passed nine o'clock, so it was normal that no one was there yet.

Not long after, Xiao Churan's phone suddenly rang.

After answering, she discovered it was a call from the building's front desk, saying that the Xiao family was visiting and giving them a heads-up.

Ye Chen also heard the voice coming from the phone and asked in surprise: "The Xiao family? What are they doing here? Did you send them an invitation?"

Xiao Churan shook her head and said: "After things became such a mess with them before, how could I invite them over? They probably want to see us make a fool of ourselves... The front desk said Grandma came in person and brought my uncle's family. Don't get into a conflict with them in a little while."

Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "As long as they don't look for trouble, I definitely won't get into a conflict with them on such a joyous day."

Xiao Churan nodded with some worry.

Immediately after, she saw Old Mrs. Xiao leaning on her cane, bringing Xiao Changgan, Xiao Hailong, and Xiao Weiwei with her as they walked over from the outer corridor.

Xiao Hailong, who had been beaten up and taken to the police station a while ago, had just been bailed out by the old lady with money, so seeing Ye Chen now, his face was full of hatred for him.

However, Ye Chen couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him.

Today was a joyous opening day, and he didn't want to have any conflicts with them, so as long as this group didn't go too far, he wouldn't take the initiative to provoke them.

Xiao Weiwei walked up to them, sneered, and said: "Xiao Churan, you didn't even greet Grandma when you saw her. Aren't you being too unfilial?"

Xiao Churan said indifferently: "You have already kicked us out of the Xiao family. Logically speaking, we have nothing to do with each other now!"

"You brat!" Old Mrs. Xiao slammed her cane hard onto the ground and said angrily: "The blood of the Xiao family flows in your veins, so you were born a person of the Xiao family, and even in death, you will be a ghost of the Xiao family!"

Ye Chen said coldly at this moment: "Some people are being too hypocritical. Before, you said you kicked people out of the house and would never recognize them as Xiao family members again, and now you say they belong to the Xiao family in life and death. Isn't this self-contradictory?"

Xiao Hailong gritted his teeth and said: "When my grandma is talking, there's no room for a loser like you to interrupt!"

Ye Chen looked at him and retorted: "You didn't get beaten enough last time, did you? Do you want me to loosen your muscles and bones again?!"

Xiao Hailong shrank his neck and immediately lost his nerve.

When they were fighting for the villa last time, he had already witnessed Ye Chen's strength. Never mind one of him, even ten of him wouldn't be a match for him, so it was better to be honest.

At this time, Xiao Churan pursed her lips, turned to look at Old Mrs. Xiao, and said: "I'm sorry, we didn't invite you to our opening ceremony today, so please leave quickly."

"Opening ceremony?" Old Mrs. Xiao said disdainfully: "Churan, you don't really think that your little workshop opening will actually have guests coming to show support, do you?"

Xiao Changgan on the side also chuckled and said: "I heard you even had the nerve to send an invitation to the Dihao Group? You don't even think about it; how could a little workshop like yours catch the eye of the Dihao Group?"

"That's right." Old Mrs. Xiao took the words back and said with a comforting face: "Churan, family doesn't speak of two families. Husband and wife quarrel at the head of the bed and make up at the foot of the bed, not to mention you are my granddaughter and you have my blood in your body. Why bother fighting with me?"

As she spoke, Old Mrs. Xiao further brainwashed her: "Look at you, running such a dilapidated studio all by yourself, with no money and no resources. Why not come back to the Xiao Group? Grandma will still let you be your director. If you work hard with Grandma, I will definitely give you an account of the Xiao Group's shares in the future, and I can even let you take over as the helm. What do you think?"

The Xiao family's situation had been very difficult recently.

Dihao had cut off their cooperation and blacklisted them, the Wang family had come to break off the engagement, and Xiao Hailong was even more of a lost cause.

Old Mrs. Xiao's only hope now was to pull Xiao Churan back to work inside the group so that they could make a breakthrough in business.

Perhaps Xiao Churan could even get the Dihao Group's contract back. If that happened, other partners would also come running to cooperate with them, and the situation could be turned around in an instant.

However, Old Mrs. Xiao didn't expect that Xiao Churan would calmly shake her head and say: "I'm not interested. I just want to do my own thing well."

Xiao Changgan snorted: "Xiao Churan, I advise you to be sensible. Look at your opening today; how cold and deserted is it? Has anyone come to congratulate you? And you still want to start a business? I think you'll go bankrupt before you even start!"

Ye Chen said with an expression full of disdain and sarcasm: "Whether anyone comes to congratulate us here, what does it have to do with you? As long as I want, all the powerful people in Jin Ling will come to congratulate Churan!" ===== CHAPTER 162 =====
