Chapter 414: Steal a wave from him!
Ma Lan felt that as long as she spoke to Ye Chen, this good-for-nothing Ye Chen would definitely not dare to defy her.
As long as he transferred the money into her card, she could invite her good sisters to go out for a meal. After the meal, the sisters would arrange a full package of entertainment; that was what a high-society life was all about.
As soon as Ye Chen heard that she wanted money, he immediately shook his head and said, "Mom, I can't give you this money."
Ma Lan frowned and blurted out, "Why?"
Ye Chen said indifferently, "Dad is in charge of the money in the house now. If you want to use money, you have to get Dad's nod first."
"What did you say?!" Ma Lan said coldly, "My words don't carry any weight anymore, is that it?"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "When it comes to money, Dad's nod is a must."
Ma Lan said angrily, "Don't you dare use Xiao Changkun to pressure me. Let me tell you, I am your mother. If I ask you for money, you have to give it to me!"
Ye Chen smiled, "Giving is possible, but as long as Dad nods, it's no problem to give it all to you."
"You..." Ma Lan was furious. She pointed at Ye Chen and questioned, "Are you doing this just to go against me?"
Ye Chen countered, "Mom, you were the one who said that Dad would be in charge of the money from now on, not me. Am I not just carrying out your decision?"
Ma Lan gritted her teeth and said, "Stop with all this nonsense. Hurry up and give me the money, did you hear me?"
Ye Chen spread his hands and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mom. If Dad doesn't nod regarding money matters, even if you kill me, I won't give it to you."
After saying this, Ye Chen couldn't be bothered to pay any more attention to her and walked back into the villa.
Ma Lan looked at Ye Chen's back, so angry that her lungs were about to explode!
She wanted to find Xiao Changkun and have him tell Ye Chen to back off, but upon second thought, she gave up on this idea because she knew Xiao Changkun definitely wouldn't agree.
This old guy was more arrogant than Ye Chen now. Not only did he not listen to her or follow her lead, but he even started to challenge her and wanted to live separately. Wouldn't going to beg him now be just asking for humiliation?
Ma Lan felt truly angry and stifled, not knowing what to do for a moment.
In the WeChat group, her old sisters were still waiting for her reply. She was embarrassed, and she wasn't willing to just give up all her entertainment plans like this.
At this time, Ye Chen was cleaning up in the kitchen, while Xiao Changkun was leisurely sipping tea and reading the newspaper on the Huanghuali sofa left behind by his father, looking completely satisfied.
A flash of light suddenly crossed Ma Lan's mind.
This guy Ye Chen usually just cheats and swindles, using the guise of Feng Shui to fool those wealthy big shots. He could get two million in one go, so who knows if he has other private savings?
What if he actually earned three million last time he looked at Feng Shui?
Thinking of this, she immediately remembered Ye Chen buying two BMWs in a row.
At that time, the money for both BMWs was all private savings that this guy Ye Chen had hidden!
Two cars, nearly one million!
In other words, this guy Ye Chen really did have a habit of hiding private money, and he had hidden quite a lot!
If she could find his bank card and guess his password, wouldn't she be able to get all his private savings?
She didn't need him to have a million; even if there were just one hundred thousand, it would be enough for her and her sisters to squander for a while!
Thinking of this, a smile that couldn't be melted appeared on Ma Lan's face, and she immediately decided to steal a wave from him!
Thus, she hurried upstairs without stopping and tried to open Ye Chen and Xiao Churan's room.
Upon opening it, she found the door wasn't locked, and she was instantly overjoyed!
Once inside, she began rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
However, Ye Chen and Xiao Churan had only just moved in today, so the cabinets hadn't been organized carefully, and there weren't any valuable items.
Ma Lan searched for a long time without finding Ye Chen's wallet or bank card. Just as she was getting frustrated, she suddenly saw Ye Chen's coat hanging in the wardrobe. She hurriedly stepped forward, rummaged through the pockets for a while, and found a black-gold bank card.
This bank card was covered in English. Ma Lan had been a slacker student back in college, and after all these years, she had long since returned her English to her teachers.
Therefore, after looking at it for a long time, she only recognized that it was a Citibank card, but she didn't understand what kind of card it actually was.
However, looking closely at the card, the craftsmanship was exquisite, so it seemed to be something extraordinary.
She was overjoyed and immediately tucked the black-gold card into her bosom, thinking to herself, "Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen, you won't give me money, but can't I just take it myself?"
Also, if you had behaved a little better just now, I might have left a few hundred yuan in your card.
But your attitude toward me was so bad just now, and you even used Xiao Changkun to pressure me, so you really messed with the wrong person!
Just you wait. As soon as I figure out your password, if I leave even a single cent in your bank card, consider me the loser!
Thinking of this, Ma Lan, with a heart full of excitement, quietly left the villa and rushed to the nearest Citibank.
Ye Chen, who was cleaning up in the kitchen, never imagined that Ma Lan would steal his bank card.
He had just finished washing the dishes when his phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and saw the contact name "Aunt Li," and his heart instantly filled with joy.
Ye Chen's parents both died when he was eight. If it hadn't been for Aunt Li at the orphanage taking him in, he would have starved to death on the streets long ago.
Therefore, Ye Chen had always been grateful to Aunt Li and never dared to forget this kindness.
That was why Ye Chen had been thick-skinned enough to borrow money from Old Mrs. Xiao at her birthday banquet to pay for Aunt Li's kidney transplant.
Later, Tang Sihai appeared, and Aunt Li was transferred to the Xiehe Academy in Jingcheng to receive the best treatment.
During this time, Ye Chen only knew that her surgery had gone very smoothly and that Tang Sihai had arranged the best recovery regimen for her, but Ye Chen himself had never actively contacted Aunt Li, mainly because he didn't want to disturb her and hoped she would focus on recovering her health in Jingcheng.
Pressing the answer button, Ye Chen hurriedly said, "Aunt Li!"
Aunt Li's kind voice came from the other end of the line: "It's me. Ye Chen, how have you been lately?"
Ye Chen said excitedly, "I'm doing very well, Aunt Li. How is your health?"
Aunt Li said with a smile, "I'm recovering very well after the surgery, and the rejection reaction isn't very strong. The doctor says I'm almost meeting the discharge criteria and can return to Jin Ling in a few days."
Ye Chen was overjoyed: "That's great! When you return, Aunt, I'll host a welcome dinner for you."
Aunt Li hurriedly said, "Ye Chen, don't go to such trouble. If the nurse hadn't accidentally let it slip just now, I wouldn't have known that the millions in medical expenses for my surgery were all paid by you. Aunt doesn't know how to thank you..."
As she spoke, Aunt Li on the other end of the line couldn't help but sob.
Ye Chen felt a pang in his heart and hurriedly said, "Aunt Li, please don't cry. This is what I should have done. Have you forgotten? When I was eight, I wandered the streets for three days and three nights, starving and thin as a rail. If you hadn't brought me back to the orphanage, I might have died on the roadside long ago..."
