Chapter 407

After Old Mrs. Xiao and Ye Changqian became estranged, a crack that could not be healed appeared in their hearts.

The old lady finally only took out fifty thousand yuan for the family of four's living expenses, and the rest was all repaid to the two banks they owed money to.

After the bank received this part of the repayment, the person in charge of the collection department also gave Old Mrs. Xiao a lot of face, indicating that they could appropriately extend the debt and give the Xiao family a chance to catch their breath.

Old Mrs. Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was still counting on the Xiao Group to come back to life. As long as she could delay the pace of bankruptcy, there might be a chance.

Who knows when the next Xiao Yiqian might appear?

For her, the Xiao family was currently facing a huge difficulty, but in the end, it was only a problem of tens of millions. If she really met a big boss with a net worth of ten billion like Xiao Yiqian, the other party would just leak a little money from their fingers, which would be enough for the Xiao family to come back to life.

Compared to Old Mrs. Xiao, who was full of longing and expectation, Ye Changqian was very depressed.

The old lady only kept fifty thousand yuan from selling the furniture, and this fifty thousand yuan was still held in her own hands.

Ye Changqian himself was about to reach the end of his rope, really reaching the point where he couldn't even afford a pack of cigarettes.

That night, the old lady only took out twenty yuan to buy groceries, buying a pile of worthless rotten cabbage and half a catty of pork.

Ye Changqian was angry and miserable, but he had no way at all. He could only endure it in his heart for now, while racking his brains to study where the old lady would hide the antiques left by the old man.

Just as the Xiao family was complaining about their miserable life of thin soup and light water, Xiao Churan's family had already started moving into the Tang Chen First Grade villa early the next morning.

Because the furniture was all newly bought, there was no need to move any large items. The four of them packed their own clothes and supplies, then packed the tableware and kitchenware, and found a truck to pull everything over at once.

Ye Chen was in a particularly good mood because when packing the bedroom, he had deliberately and tentatively asked Xiao Churan if she wanted to bring the bedding he used for sleeping on the floor.

Xiao Churan said shyly, "Aren't you prepared to upgrade? Why bring these things?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen was instantly excited!

After the truck arrived at Tang Chen First Grade, Ye Changkun set off a few small hand-held firecrackers at the entrance, which counted as a housewarming celebration.

Afterwards, the family of four began to pack their respective rooms.

Ye Chen and Xiao Churan packed the master bedroom on the second floor, Ma Lan packed the master bedroom on the third floor by herself, and Ye Changkun went to pack the small room next door by himself, sullenly.

In his words, he was going to separate from Ma Lan.

Ma Lan was too lazy to argue with him. Anyway, she was going to sleep in the master bedroom on the third floor. As for Ye Changkun, he could sleep wherever he wanted. Anyway, she felt annoyed looking at him now, and separating was actually a relief.

However, Xiao Churan felt a bit uncomfortable.

Although her parents' relationship had never been very good, they had managed to get by for more than twenty years. Now that they were suddenly separating, it made her feel uncomfortable.

But she also knew that as a daughter, she couldn't interfere too much in her parents' affairs, so she thought it would be better for them to separate first, so they could both calm down and think about it properly.

If they could both think it through, life would be better in the future.

When Ye Chen and Xiao Churan were almost done packing, Dong Ruolin also took a taxi over.

She didn't have many things, just two suitcases and a bag. Xiao Churan warmly invited her in and then took her directly to the second floor by elevator.

As soon as she got out of the elevator, she shouted, "Ye Chen, come and help Ruolin!"

Ye Chen hurriedly went out and saw Dong Ruolin, who had specially dressed up.

Dong Ruolin was dressed very beautifully today. A beige trench coat paired with a black base sweater inside not only made her figure look tall and full, but also very feminine. As for her lower body, it was a woolen miniskirt paired with black leggings, and her slender legs were completely outlined, thin and long, very eye-catching.

As soon as Dong Ruolin saw Ye Chen, her little face turned red. She waved at him a bit nervously and said, "Ye Chen, I'll have to trouble you to take care of me in the future!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Welcome, welcome."

Actually, Ye Chen felt a bit helpless.

He knew Dong Ruolin liked him.

If she just confessed to him, he wouldn't care; he could just politely decline or turn a deaf ear.

However, now that she had suddenly moved in to live under the same roof as him, it really gave him a headache.

But of course, he couldn't show anything unusual in front of Xiao Churan.

Xiao Churan pointed at Dong Ruolin's two big suitcases and said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, you're strong, help Ruolin move her luggage to her bedroom."

"Okay." Ye Chen nodded and dragged the two suitcases into Dong Ruolin's bedroom.

Dong Ruolin followed him in, feeling a burst of sweetness in her heart.

In her view, she would be able to be closer to Ye Chen in the future. Regardless of whether she could eventually be with Ye Chen, as long as she could be closer to him, she would be very satisfied.

After all, in her heart, Ye Chen was not only the object of her secret crush, but also her savior twice, so she only longed to be closer to Ye Chen, and she would be satisfied with that.

As for whether the two would have any development, she had to see what was going on with his and Xiao Churan's relationship first.

If the two were always in a fake marriage, then she would naturally have to strive for it, but if the two had real feelings, then she definitely couldn't snatch her best friend's husband.

Dong Ruolin followed Ye Chen into the room, looked around, and said in surprise, "Oh, this room is quite big!"

"Yeah." Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's definitely enough for you to live alone."

Dong Ruolin pursed her lips and nodded. Seeing that Xiao Churan hadn't come in yet, she hurriedly asked, "How are you and Churan recently?"

"Quite good." Ye Chen answered casually.

"Oh..." Dong Ruolin asked obscurely, "Compared to before, are there any changes?"

Dong Ruolin wanted to know if Ye Chen and Xiao Churan had broken through that layer of relationship, but it wasn't easy to ask clearly, so she could only beat around the bush obscurely.

Ye Chen didn't think much and just said casually, "Our relationship is very stable, no changes."

Hearing him say there were no changes, Dong Ruolin felt much more at ease. She estimated that Xiao Churan and Ye Chen were still sleeping in separate beds, which proved that the two actually hadn't made any breakthroughs.

For her, this was good news.

At this time, Ma Lan on the third floor was incredibly excited. She took many photos and selfies in her big bedroom, turned the beauty filter to the maximum, and then carefully selected a few photos of the living room and photos taken from the outside, and posted them to her Moments together.

The caption was: "Oh, after waiting for so long, I finally moved into our own big villa at Tang Chen First Grade! This is the largest unit type in Tang Chen First Grade! Such a big living room, such a big bedroom, I don't know if I'll be afraid sleeping here at night!"

After writing this, she thought of Old Mrs. Xiao and added another sentence: "Sigh, this villa has three floors above ground and two floors underground, a total of five floors and ten bedrooms, each one very luxurious and stylish. But with our family of four, how can we live in all of them? It's really worrying..."
