Chapter 1697: All Trash

Hearing Ye Chen's words, William was instantly furious and blurted out, "Ye, isn't this a bit too arrogant of you!"

Ye Chen asked with a smile, "Arrogant? I don't think so."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Even if our Ye family has suffered heavy losses, we still have trillions in assets. Some families haven't experienced such large losses and still don't have as much money as the Ye family. If this isn't trash, then what is?"

Ye Chen looked at the two of them, paused slightly, and teased, "Look, if half the water in the ocean were gone, it would still be the ocean, but even if a mud puddle were filled to the brim, it would still be a mud puddle."

Olivia and William's expressions both turned extremely ugly.

Olivia knew the strength of the Nordic royal family very well; counting cash, antiques, real estate, and foreign investments, it only amounted to a scale of a few billion euros.

Moreover, the royal family didn't belong to just Olivia's family of three; there were a bunch of royal relatives below waiting to be supported by the royal family.

But even if the Ye family gave half their assets to the Wanlong Palace, the remaining assets would still be over a hundred billion euros. This was truly much stronger than the royal family.

William was just as annoyed as Olivia.

Although his surname was Rothschild, their family's overall economic strength, converted to euros, barely reached ten billion. In his view, it was perhaps not even one-tenth of the current Ye family.

However, William still gritted his teeth and retorted, "Our Rothschild family has been deeply rooted globally for hundreds of years. Our comprehensive assets are far more than a trillion dollars; ten trillion might not even be enough to stop us! In front of the Rothschild family, the mere Ye family doesn't even count as trash!"

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Are you from the Rothschild family?"

Olivia introduced with a face full of smugness and pride, "I forgot to introduce the two of you. This is my fiancé, a young talent of the Rothschild family, William Rothschild!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "So you really are from the Rothschild family. No wonder you talk so big."

William sneered, "What? Do you now realize how much trash the mere Ye family is in front of our Rothschild family?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said indifferently, "Whether it's trash or not depends on who you compare it to. If compared to the core Rothschild family, the Ye family is naturally much worse, but I've heard that the Rothschild family has many collateral branches internally, and these branches are divided into three tiers. I wonder which tier Mr. William's family is in?"

Hearing this, William's face immediately turned livid.

When talking about the Rothschild family, he was full of pride.

But when it came to the topic of which tier his family was in, he didn't know what to do.

Because his family was nothing more than a bottom-tier third-tier family within the Rothschild family.

Seeing his strange expression but silence, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask with a smile, "What's wrong, Mr. William? You were quite talkative just now. Why aren't you speaking now?"

William's expression was uncertain, and for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

Seeing her fiancé get stumped, Olivia was very unhappy and said coldly, "Mr. Ye, this is Northern Europe, not China! It would be better not to be so sharp with your words."

Ye Chen chuckled and retorted, "This is sharp? It seems you lack an understanding of what truly sharp is."

At this moment, Helena came out to smooth things over, saying, "I think everyone shouldn't chat here. Let's go back to the palace. I still want to see how Grandma is doing."

Olivia smiled playfully and said, "Helena, don't be in such a hurry. William and I came to the airport not just to pick you two up; another friend is arriving soon. Why don't we wait until he arrives and go back to the palace together?"

Helena asked subconsciously, "Who is the other friend you mentioned?"

Olivia smiled, "This friend is a Russian oligarch, Amanlamovich."

Helena had already learned from those two attendants that Olivia intended to sell her to Amanlamovich, so when she heard this, her heart skipped a beat.

However, she tried her best to control her emotions and asked with feigned surprise, "Olivia, when did you become friends with such a vulgar person?"

Olivia squinted at Helena and asked with some surprise, "Helena, has no one mentioned Amanlamovich to you?"

Helena shook her head blankly, "No one mentioned it. Why?"

Today, Helena had returned alone, casting aside the two subordinates Olivia had planted, so Olivia knew that her people had already had their identities exposed.

Now, she didn't know if those two people had told Helena about her plan.

Because she had previously instructed the two subordinates to trick Helena into going to the airport and then send her directly to Saint Petersburg.

But seeing Helena's blank expression now, Olivia felt she might not have learned about this yet.

So, Olivia smiled meaningfully and said, "This Amanlamovich is actually quite a decent person. He's rich and also very gentlemanly. It's just that he's a bit older; he's not as vulgar as they say."

Helena feigned casualness and smiled, "In my impression, Western European nobles have always been quite repulsed by him. Why did you invite him over?"

Olivia smiled, "Although Amanlamovich doesn't have a background worth mentioning, he is at least a billionaire worth tens of billions of dollars. If I want to revitalize the royal family in the future, of course, I have to build a good relationship with such a tycoon."

As she was speaking, the sound of aircraft engines grew closer outside. A brand-new Gulfstream G650 business jet, guided by a follow-me car, slowly taxied toward the hangar.

Olivia raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Amanlamovich is here!"

That G650 soon stopped steadily at the parking spot next to the Concorde. The cabin door opened, and a short, thin middle-aged man in a dark blue suit walked out with a smile on his face.

This person was the last remaining oligarch in Russia today, Amanlamovich.

Amanlamovich came from a poor background, but he seized the tide of the era, frantically accumulated wealth during Russia's special stage, and quickly rose to become a top tycoon.

As soon as Amanlamovich got off the plane, he said to Olivia with a smile, "Princess Olivia, long time no see!"

After speaking, he immediately looked at Helena on the side with a somewhat greedy gaze and said with a smile, "This must be Princess Helena, right?"

Helena felt somewhat uncomfortable, and Olivia, who was beside her, saw Amanlamovich's infatuated gaze toward Helena and said with a smile, "Mr. Amanlamovich, this is my sister, Princess Helena."

Amanlamovich immediately reached out his hand to Helena, looking forward to performing a hand-kissing ceremony, and said very gentlemanly, "Very happy to meet you, respected Princess Helena!"

Helena did not want Amanlamovich to kiss her hand. She had already guessed Olivia's motive for inviting Amanlamovich and felt disgusted. So, she nodded slightly at him and said apologetically, "Sorry, Mr. Amanlamovich, because my fiancé is Chinese, I must observe Chinese customs and cannot perform the hand-kissing ceremony. Please forgive me!"

Amanlamovich gave an awkward, dry laugh, then quietly withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, it's okay, I understand very well!"

Olivia glanced at Helena from the corner of her eye and sneered in her heart, "Helena, why are you still pretending to be reserved? It won't be long before you are Amanlamovich's woman!" ===== CHAPTER 1698 =====
