Chapter 2

Ten billion?!

Ye Chen was stunned into speechlessness.

He knew his grandfather’s family was very wealthy, but he was still young at the time and had no concept of money; he only knew that the Ye family was one of the top families in Yanjing and the entire country.

But he was unclear on exactly how much money they had.

Yet at this moment, he finally understood.

Ten billion was just pocket money; the entire Ye family was likely worth over a trillion!

To be honest, at this moment, he was deeply tempted.

But thinking of his parents' deaths and that his grandfather was not without blame, he found it somewhat impossible to forgive.

Tang Sihai saw his hesitation and hurriedly said, "Young Master, you are a member of the Ye family. This money is what you deserve, and strictly speaking, this money belongs to your father."

"The Master said that if you are willing to return, you will inherit the family's trillion-dollar fortune. If you are unwilling to return, this money will be considered your living expenses."

"Oh, that's right. Jin Ling's largest enterprise, the Emperor Group, with a market value of 100 billion RMB, was fully acquired by the Ye family yesterday. Now, all the shares are under your name. You can go to the Emperor Group to take over tomorrow!"

Ye Chen found it somewhat unbelievable.

The Ye family had gone to such great lengths for him, hadn't they?

A ten-billion black card, a 100-billion Emperor Group!

Although Jin Ling was full of hidden talents, the only true god was the Emperor Group. Any family had to bow and scrape before the Emperor Group; it was the emperor of Jin Ling's commercial sphere!

Even the Xiao family and Wang family who humiliated him today, and the Zhang family who pursued Xiao Churan, were just small fry before the Emperor Group!

He didn't expect that it was now his?

At this time, Tang Sihai handed him a business card and said, "Young Master, you might need to calm down and think it over properly. I won't disturb you any further. This is my number; if you need anything, just give me a command at any time!"

After speaking, Tang Sihai turned and left.

After he left, Ye Chen remained standing there in a daze.

He didn't know if he should accept the Ye family's compensation.

However, thinking about it carefully, he had lived a life of displacement for over a decade and suffered endless humiliation as a live-in son-in-law for the Xiao family. This was the compensation the Ye family owed him; why shouldn't he take it?

Moreover, Aunt Li's medical expenses still required two million, and it was urgent.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and immediately turned back to the billing office: "Hello, I would like to pay the remaining two million."

Swiping the card, entering the password, the transaction was successful.

Two million was easily transferred into the hospital's account.

Ye Chen felt like he was walking on clouds.

Had he suddenly become a billionaire?

He returned home in a daze.

The house was already in an uproar.

Xiao Churan and her parents did not live in the Xiao family villa, but in a very ordinary apartment.

Ever since Xiao Churan married him and the Old Master Xiao passed away, they had been kicked out.

His mother-in-law was cursing at home: "That loser Ye Chen! He made our family lose all face today! If you don't divorce him, I'm afraid your grandmother will kick you out of the Xiao Group!"

Xiao Churan said, "If she kicks me out, I'll just find another job."

"You..." The mother-in-law said in a fit of rage: "What's so good about that loser? Why can't you divorce him and marry Zhang Wenhao? If you married Zhang Wenhao, our whole family could hold our heads high!"

The father-in-law also said from the side: "Exactly! Marrying Zhang Wenhao would make our family treasures in front of your grandmother immediately; she would be fawning over you every day."

Xiao Churan said: "Stop talking, I won't divorce Ye Chen."

"You child!"

The two were about to persuade her further when Ye Chen pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing him, the father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't have pleasant expressions.

The mother-in-law snorted through her nose: "A loser, and he still has the face to come back!"

Ye Chen sighed inwardly. His mother-in-law had always looked down on him, but if she knew he was now the boss of the Emperor Group and had ten billion in cash, how would she react?

However, Ye Chen was not yet prepared to let people know his identity.

He had been away from the Ye family for many years; who knew what the situation was like now? What if he exposed himself and someone within the Ye family acted against him?

Therefore, it was better to keep a low profile for now.

So he lowered his head and said apologetically: "Mom, I'm sorry, I caused you trouble today."

The mother-in-law cursed: "You didn't just cause trouble, you're going to be the death of our family of three! Can't you have some self-awareness and get out of our house immediately?"

Xiao Churan hurriedly said: "Mom, how can you talk like that? Ye Chen is your son-in-law!"

"Bullshit!" The mother-in-law said bitterly: "I don't have such a loser son-in-law! Get as far away as possible!"

Xiao Churan pushed Ye Chen: "Go back to the room quickly."

Ye Chen nodded gratefully and escaped back to the room.

He and Xiao Churan had been married for three years, but they had never consummated the marriage; Xiao Churan slept on the bed, and he slept on a floor mat beside it.

That night, Ye Chen could not fall asleep for a long time.

The events of today were truly too shocking; he couldn't digest them for a while.

Before sleeping, Xiao Churan said to him: "How is Aunt Li? I still have over a hundred thousand in private savings; you take it to her tomorrow for treatment."

Ye Chen said: "No need, someone has already paid for Aunt Li and sent her to Yanjing for treatment."

"Really?" Xiao Churan said with pleasant surprise: "Aunt Li is saved?"

"Yes," Ye Chen said: "Aunt Li has done good deeds her whole life and helped so many people; now someone has finally repaid her."

"That's good." Xiao Churan nodded and said to Ye Chen: "You can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

"Yes."

Xiao Churan said: "I have to sleep; there's been a lot going on at the company lately, I'm so tired."

Ye Chen asked: "Did something happen at the company?"

Xiao Churan said: "Business isn't very good. Grandmother has always wanted to cooperate with a large company like the Emperor Group, but the Xiao family's strength is still much weaker, and they don't look at us."

Ye Chen suddenly thought of the Emperor Group and asked her: "The Xiao family has no cooperation with the Emperor Group?"

Xiao Churan laughed self-deprecatingly: "How could the Emperor Group look at the Xiao family! Even Weiwei's fiancé, Wang Yunfei's family, can barely make a connection with the Emperor Group. Grandmother is counting on them getting married so the Wang family can help the Xiao family get a foot in the door with the Emperor Group."

Ye Chen nodded.

So, the Xiao family was racking their brains trying to cooperate with the Emperor Group.

However, Old Mrs. Xiao probably couldn't even dream that the Emperor Group was now his...

Thinking of this, Ye Chen decided to take over the Emperor Group first, and then provide some help to Xiao Churan through the Emperor Group. She was bullied too much in the Xiao family, and as her husband, he had a responsibility to help her improve her status in the family.

Churan, your husband is different starting today!

I will never let anyone look down on you again!

I will make the entire Xiao family bow and scrape before you!
