Chapter 320

Old Mrs. Xiao didn't expect that the usually cowardly Xiao Changkun would actually have a temper in front of her!

She couldn't help but feel angry and hateful!

For decades, she had always used her authority to suppress Xiao Changkun, and Xiao Changkun had never had the ability to resist, or even the ability to retort.

Even when she drove him out of the Xiao family, he didn't dare to make a peep.

But she didn't expect that he would dare to say such things to her today!

Has he really grown wings?!

To actually say such rebellious words as not wanting a mother like her!

He has really rebelled!

Just as she was furious and wanted to lash out on the spot to maintain her dignity and authority.

Xiao Changqian on the side had already lowered his status and said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, we are not here to cause trouble today. I have something to find your mother-in-law Ma Lan about, so hurry up and let her come out. I have an extremely urgent matter to ask her!"

Ye Chen naturally knew very well that Xiao Changqian must be here to find Qian Hongyan.

Unfortunately, Xiao Changqian could never dream that Qian Hongyan and He Lian's group had already been secretly sent to Jinxi, so to him, Qian Hongyan must have evaporated into thin air.

So, Ye Chen said to Xiao Changqian, "You can tell me whatever it is, and I will pass it on to her."

Xiao Changqian said hurriedly, "My wife is lost!"

Ye Chen asked with feigned surprise, "Wife is lost? How did she get lost?"

Xiao Changqian was very unhappy with Ye Chen's prying, but he still suppressed his temper and said, "I just can't find her, I can't get in touch with her at all. Before she lost contact, the last person she saw was your mother-in-law, so I came to ask."

Ye Chen smiled, "Actually, you can figure this out without asking."

Xiao Changqian blurted out, "What do you mean?"

Ye Chen said, "My meaning is very simple. I just think your wife must have run away."

As he spoke, Ye Chen counted on his fingers, "Look at you now, no money, no power, and no noble people to help you. It looks like the Xiao family is going to go bankrupt and be liquidated soon. Won't your villa be taken away by the bank then? Mother Qian has never suffered in her life, she can't possibly live in low-rent housing with you, right?"

Xiao Changqian gritted his teeth and said, "This has nothing to do with you, you'd better not pry!"

Ye Chen's father-in-law, Xiao Changkun, walked over at this time and said seriously, "Big Brother, I think what Ye Chen said makes a lot of sense. The Xiao family is a bottomless pit now. If I were the sister-in-law, I wouldn't live with you either. Not only would I not live with you, but I would also take all your money and go out to start a new life!"

"You..." Xiao Changqian didn't expect Xiao Changkun to hit the exact spot he was most afraid of. He immediately cursed in a rage, "Xiao Changkun, don't speculate about my wife here! If it weren't for the fact that you are my brother, I would have taught you a lesson long ago!"

As soon as Xiao Changqian finished speaking, Ye Chen slapped him across the face, making him see stars.

Before he could recover, Ye Chen said coldly, "Xiao Changqian, you dare to be so presumptuous at my door? Have you forgotten the fate of your son and the Xiao family's lackeys?"

Xiao Changqian was slapped and instantly became obedient.

He knew that it didn't matter that he had nothing now.

Even if he were still the Xiao Changqian from before, he couldn't do anything to Ye Chen.

This guy didn't know where he learned his martial arts; the Xiao family's bodyguards were all beaten to a pulp by him, let alone himself?

Thinking of this, Xiao Changqian suppressed his inner anger and said to Xiao Changkun, "Changkun, it was my fault just now, I apologize to you. However, please trouble yourself to call your sister-in-law out, I want to ask her something."

Xiao Changkun felt extremely satisfied at this moment and wished he could hug his precious son-in-law Ye Chen and kiss him.

It was truly satisfying!

He was just feeling annoyed by Xiao Changqian, and then he slapped him across the face. It was great!

Xiao Changkun felt wonderful inside and said to Xiao Changqian, "Big Brother, let me ask you, were you and the sister-in-law planning to buy a villa a couple of days ago?"

Xiao Changqian asked subconsciously, "How did you know?"

Xiao Changkun blurted out, "Ma Lan told me. She was playing mahjong at her friend's house and happened to see you and the sister-in-law go to her friend's house to look at houses, so she told me."

Xiao Changqian nodded and said, "We did look, but what does this have to do with today's matter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Old Mrs. Xiao on the side frowned and asked, "Changqian, what's going on? You want to buy a villa? Why didn't I know?"

Xiao Changqian felt a sense of despair.

He was anxious and his brain wasn't working well enough; he had completely forgotten that buying the villa was done behind Old Mrs. Xiao's back.

Seeing Old Mrs. Xiao's angry face, he could only explain patiently, "Mom, Hongyan and I were afraid that you wouldn't have a place to live if the villa was seized later, so we wanted to see if there were any suitable replacements in advance..."

"You're full of crap!" Old Mrs. Xiao cursed angrily, "You weren't willing to take out the money to help me in an emergency, which is why my villa is being taken back! Not only did you not help me, but you even went to look at villas behind my back?!"

Xiao Changqian's expression was extremely awkward; it seemed he couldn't talk his way out of this one...

Old Mrs. Xiao was furious, stood on her tiptoes, and slapped him, cursing, "You blind dog! You don't believe your own mother, but you believe an outsider! Now it's great! Fifteen million has all gone down the drain! You are forcing us all onto a dead end!"

When Xiao Changkun heard that his big brother Xiao Changqian actually had fifteen million, he felt very sour inside.

He had followed the Xiao family for so many years and only had a little over a million; later, he dabbled in antiques and earned a little, and his daughter gave him some, so the family barely had two million.

He didn't expect Xiao Changqian to have fifteen million all by himself!

Thinking of this, he said sourly, "No wonder, Big Brother! You must have put the fifteen million with the sister-in-law, right?"

Xiao Changqian said with an angry expression, "That has nothing to do with you!"

Xiao Changkun sighed and said, "Big Brother, you gave the sister-in-law so much money. Even if the sister-in-law didn't want to cheat, those young men who dream every day of being saved by a rich older woman wouldn't let the sister-in-law go either!"

Xiao Changqian frowned tightly and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Xiao Changkun looked at him and said with great surprise, "Don't you use your phone to go online? There are many such cases on the internet! Some young men specialize in seducing rich older women like the sister-in-law. When the time is ripe, they say to the older woman, 'Auntie, I don't want to work hard anymore,' and the rich older woman immediately gives them money, cars, and houses, keeping them as lovers, and might even elope with them!"

Having said this, Xiao Changkun said regretfully, "Fifteen million! I don't know how many young men are chasing after the sister-in-law to please her; I'm afraid the sister-in-law can't even choose them all!"
