Chapter 406

The farce ended, and neither Ye Changkun nor Ma Lan gained any benefits.

Ma Lan wanted money, but in the end, she didn't get a single cent, which made her chest ache with depression for a day.

On the way back, Ye Changkun wanted to turn on the radio again to continue listening to his favorite novel, but as soon as it started playing for less than five seconds, the car radio was rudely turned off by Ma Lan.

Ma Lan, who was already very irritable, shouted directly, "Ye Changkun, I warn you not to make any sound, so as not to annoy me!"

Ye Changkun said coldly, "What? Does me listening to a novel bother you? Do you need to be nagging here?"

Ma Lan reached out from the back seat and slapped Ye Changkun on the head, cursing, "You say I'm nagging? Have you grown capable?"

Ye Changkun hurriedly dodged and said angrily, "If you don't want to listen, don't listen. Can you stop using your hands and feet?"

After saying this, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, looking sullen.

Ma Lan didn't pay attention to him anymore, looking out the window alone, still angry at Ye Changkun about the money.

The family of four returned home from the villa, and everyone began to pack their own things.

Xiao Churan didn't forget to call Dong Ruolin to tell her about moving tomorrow, asking her to prepare tomorrow, check out of the hotel, and move in together.

Upon hearing this news, Dong Ruolin was so happy she danced.

Ever since she started liking Ye Chen, she had always wanted to find more opportunities to spend time with him, but she was busy with work and had to consider Xiao Churan, so she never had any opportunities.

If she could live with Xiao Churan and Ye Chen, the opportunities would naturally be much more.

So she agreed almost without hesitation.

While Ye Chen's family was busy packing, the Xiao family was in chaos.

Ever since they sold the furniture and returned from Tang Chen First Grade, Ye Changqian had been more dissatisfied with his mother.

Old Mrs. Xiao's obsession with moving into Ye Changkun's big villa deeply stung Ye Changqian.

It made him realize that the old lady wasn't really favoring him.

She had favored him before because she was considering her own interests. Once Ye Changkun's side was better for her, she would abandon him and favor Ye Changkun.

So, as soon as he got home, he told Old Mrs. Xiao to transfer the 1. 1 million from selling the furniture to him.

He felt that the old lady might abandon him at any time, so he had to plan ahead. At least he had to get some money in his hands, right?

Otherwise, if the old lady defected, who could he rely on?

His son Ye Hailong was a piece of trash. In the past, when the Xiao family had no problems, it was okay to let him be a rich second generation who lived off his parents. Now that the Xiao family was in a slump, it was impossible to expect him to be motivated and earn money.

His daughter Xiao Weiwei was a canary who didn't do any work and couldn't even cook well. Moreover, in Jin Ling nowadays, who didn't know about Xiao Weiwei's messy affairs? It was hard to find a decent family to marry into, so she couldn't be relied upon either.

So he said to Old Mrs. Xiao, "Mom, you are the legal representative of the Xiao Group and also the person responsible. If the money is kept with you, it will easily be frozen by the bank!"

Old Mrs. Xiao didn't think so. She said lightly, "This money from selling the furniture is meant to be used to repay the bank."

Unless it was a last resort, Old Mrs. Xiao didn't want the Xiao Group to go bankrupt and be liquidated, because once the Xiao Group went bankrupt, she would be finished.

She was the legal representative of the Xiao Group. If she had money and didn't repay the bank, not only would the bank seal her house, but they would even sue her and have her arrested as a deadbeat.

If that happened, she would be the one who was unlucky, and she would be the one going to jail.

So, she insisted on paying the minimum repayment to the bank first, and also planned to plead with the bank's account manager to allow them more time.

Upon hearing this, Ye Changqian exploded and blurted out, "Mom, the family is almost unable to make ends meet. We finally got over a million, and you're giving it all back to the bank. What are we going to eat and drink?"

Old Mrs. Xiao snorted, "If I don't repay the money, I'll be thrown into prison! Don't forget I'm the company's legal representative and have to be responsible for the company's debts!"

Ye Changqian hurriedly said, "Then at least take out a hundred or two hundred thousand so we can catch our breath! The way I'm living now, I can't even bear to smoke cigarettes that cost fifty yuan a pack!"

"Still smoking?" Old Mrs. Xiao said sternly, "It's good enough to have food to eat, and you're still thinking about smoking?"

Ye Changqian was holding back anger, but he sighed and said, "Mom, I'm old, so I can just endure it, but Hailong and Weiwei are still young! They haven't suffered much, so we can't wrong them!"

Old Mrs. Xiao snorted, "I don't care about that. The more it gets to this point, the more we need to tighten our belts and get through the difficulties together!"

As soon as this was said, Ye Hailong and Xiao Weiwei were immediately dissatisfied.

They were pampered and couldn't suffer. Ever since Qian Hongyan ran away with the money, their lives had been very miserable during this time.

However, now that Old Mrs. Xiao had money, she didn't open the granary to distribute food, but instead wanted everyone to tighten their belts. Wasn't this killing them?

Immediately, Ye Hailong said first, "Grandma, it's easy for you to say. You're old, you eat less and drink less, so tightening your belt is naturally no problem for you. But how can my sister and I do that? We can't suffer this kind of hardship. I haven't been eating or drinking well these past few days, and I've lost several pounds!"

"Yeah, Grandma!" Xiao Weiwei also said unhappily, "The cosmetics I used before were all thousands or tens of thousands of yuan. Now I can only use the most ordinary L'Oreal. Seeing that this L'Oreal is almost used up and I have no money to buy more, Grandma, do you want me to use a few yuan of Dabao SOD honey?"

After saying this, she immediately threw a tantrum, "I don't care, Grandma, you must give me twenty thousand yuan today. I'm going to buy a set of La Mer to use, otherwise my face will be completely ruined!"

Old Mrs. Xiao snorted, "Poor show-off! La Mer? Is Dabao SOD honey not good enough for you? Useless thing, you couldn't even hold onto Xiao Yiqian. If you could have held onto Xiao Yiqian back then, would our family be in this state today?"

Xiao Weiwei was suddenly anxious and blurted out, "What does this have to do with me? It was Xiao Yiqian who was made impotent by Ye Chen. Before he became impotent, I coaxed him well. Don't forget he gave me five million and gave the Xiao family over ten million!"

"So what?" Old Mrs. Xiao said coldly, "Didn't he leave? If you really had that ability, even if he became impotent, he would have stayed. In the end, it's because you're not good enough!"

Ye Changqian was still holding back anger, but hearing the old lady talk about his daughter Xiao Weiwei like this, he couldn't help but feel angry and blurted out, "Mom, Weiwei's affair with Xiao Yiqian was also following your instructions. How can you kick someone when they're down and burn bridges at this time?"

Old Mrs. Xiao snorted, "I burned bridges? Did I cross the river? It was clearly that the bridge was gone before we even crossed half the river, causing me to fall into the water and almost drown!"

Ye Changqian said angrily, "Mom, anyway, I have one thing to say: we can't give all the money to the bank. No matter what, we have to take out two hundred thousand to improve our lives. Otherwise, you should take out those antiques Dad left behind and sell them for money to save the day. Otherwise, you're hiding those things, and you won't be able to take them with you in the future!"

"Are you cursing me to die?!" Old Mrs. Xiao was furious and said coldly, "Do you three want to turn the world upside down?"

Old Mrs. Xiao's voice changed, sharp and scary.

She never expected that Ye Changqian, who had always been flattering and obedient to her, would dare to push his luck and dare to speak harshly to her!

At this moment, she also deeply realized that her eldest son, grandson, and granddaughter were not really following her wholeheartedly.

They were just three parasites clinging to her, thinking about opening their mouths to suck nutrients from her body at all times!

The more this was the case, the more she had to hold onto the money and things, and she must never let the three of them succeed!
