Chapter 439: You're Overthinking It
Ye Chen really didn't expect that Paul would be able to guess his identity all of a sudden.
However, he knew that Paul was just guessing, and it was impossible for him to admit such a thing.
Just as Ye Chen was about to open his mouth to deny it, his father-in-law on the side said with a smile: "Oh my, Paul, you are really overthinking it. This son-in-law of mine is a live-in son-in-law recruited into our family. If he were a member of the Ye family in Yan Jing, then our family would probably have flown onto a branch and turned into a phoenix long ago."
Although Xiao Changkun didn't usually seek progress and didn't do any serious business, he was still very clear about the great name of the Ye family in Yan Jing.
It could even be said that there weren't many people in all of China who didn't know the Ye family in Yan Jing, because the Ye family in Yan Jing was simply too famous.
Precisely because of this, it was impossible for him to believe that Ye Chen was a member of the Ye family.
Because there were too many people surnamed Ye in this world, but there was only one Ye family.
He knew Ye Chen's background very clearly. He had entered an orphanage in his childhood, went out to work on construction sites at 18, and was brought home by the Old Master in his early 20s to become a live-in son-in-law in his family.
How could such a person be a member of the Ye family in Yan Jing?
If Ye Chen were a member of the Ye family in Yan Jing, wouldn't he be the young master of a cosmic family lost outside?
As soon as Paul heard that Ye Chen was a live-in son-in-law, he immediately realized that he had guessed wrong. After all, what kind of family was the Ye family in Yan Jing? How could such a family let their own young master be a live-in son-in-law for someone else? Even the President of the United States wouldn't have such qualifications.
So he said to Ye Chen with a smile: "Then it seems I misunderstood. I'm sorry. It's mainly because your surname is also Ye, and this Bai Jinhangong is an industry of the Ye family in Yan Jing, so I overthought it. I hope Mr. Ye will forgive me."
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Paul, you don't need to be so polite."
While speaking, the manager of the catering department led them to the entrance of the private room and said respectfully to the four of them: "Mr. Ye and the three distinguished guests, please come in!"
The four of them stepped into the private room. Ye Chen invited his father-in-law to sit in the main seat, and then said to his father-in-law's first love, Han Meiqing: "Auntie Han, you and my father-in-law sit together. After all, you haven't seen each other for so many years, so you must have a lot to talk about."
Han Meiqing nodded and said with a smile: "Little Ye, you and Paul sit together. I see that you two are chatting quite speculatively."
Ye Chen hurriedly nodded and agreed, but kept reminding himself in his heart to be slightly cautious when speaking in front of Paul, because this person didn't look simple.
After sitting down, Ye Chen handed the menu to the two elders, letting them order some dishes they liked.
Xiao Changkun hurriedly said: "Oh my, Meiqing, I still remember which dishes you like. Why don't you let me order?"
Han Meiqing asked in surprise: "No way, after so many years, you still remember what I like to eat?"
Xiao Changkun smiled and said: "Of course. I certainly wouldn't forget that."
As he spoke, Xiao Changkun picked up the menu and ordered several dishes from the waiter in one breath, all of which were local Jin Ling dishes.
Every time Xiao Changkun ordered a dish, Han Meiqing's expression became even more surprised. After Xiao Changkun ordered several in one breath, she was already stunned with surprise.
Because every dish he ordered was a Jin Ling dish she had liked very much back then.
Han Meiqing couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that you still remember all these dishes. To tell you the truth, some of them I don't even remember clearly myself."
As she spoke, Han Meiqing added: "Actually, the dishes from my hometown in Su Hang are also very delicious, but I don't know why, after coming to Jin Ling for university, I liked local Jin Ling dishes even more."
Xiao Changkun smiled and said: "I also remember you always said back then that you wanted to cook some Su Hang dishes for me to taste, but it's a pity..."
Speaking of this, Xiao Changkun hurriedly asked: "By the way, Meiqing, about what we just said about going to my house to cook and eat, how have you considered it? To tell you the truth, I've been waiting for so many years, and I dream of fulfilling this wish!"
Hearing this, Han Meiqing was even more moved in her heart, so she said: "I have no problem with it. I don't know if Paul has time tonight."
After finishing, she looked at her son Paul and asked: "Son, do you have any other arrangements tonight? If not, how about we go to your Uncle Xiao's house for a meal together? By the way, we can also meet Uncle Xiao's daughter."
Paul nodded straightforwardly and said with a smile: "Then I really couldn't ask for more."
As soon as Xiao Changkun heard this, he became excited immediately!
He blurted out immediately: "Since that's the case, then it's settled. Meiqing, which dishes are you planning to make tonight?"
Han Meiqing smiled and said: "Oh my, if you ask me now, I really can't say for a while..."
After finishing, she suddenly remembered something and smiled: "How about this, let's add each other on WeChat in a moment. After I remember, I'll tell you on WeChat, and then I'll trouble you to help me go to the vegetable market to buy all the ingredients needed for these dishes. Oh, by the way, you also send me your home address. Around 5:30 in the afternoon, I'll go over with my son."
Xiao Changkun took out his phone excitedly, opened the scan function of his WeChat, and said: "Meiqing, let me scan you."
The two hadn't been in contact for more than twenty years. Even Xiao Changkun's phone number was something Han Meiqing had temporarily asked an old classmate for, so the two had never added each other on WeChat before.
In this era, WeChat is much more important than a phone number.
Your phone number is known by couriers, food delivery workers, and even telemarketing and telecom fraud scammers, but the people you add on WeChat are definitely your good friends or people you know.
So being able to add each other on WeChat is the closest way to contact.
What's more, after adding each other on WeChat, you can see the other party's Moments, see the other party's photos, the videos the other party posts, and every bit of the other party's life.
If one person has feelings for another, then they will definitely be impatient to see all of their Moments.
At this very moment, Xiao Changkun and Han Meiqing's thoughts were almost exactly the same.
Seeing that the two had already added each other on WeChat, Paul on the side also took out his phone and said politely to Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, why don't we also add each other on WeChat and leave a contact method."
Ye Chen didn't really like adding strangers on WeChat, but since Paul had taken the initiative to say so, he couldn't refuse, so he opened his phone's scan function and said: "OK, let me scan you."
After the two added each other on WeChat, Paul asked Ye Chen curiously: "Mr. Ye, I don't know where you are working?"
Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "I'm not working anywhere. I just stay at home. My usual work is just cleaning, washing clothes, buying groceries, and cooking."
Paul was stunned after hearing this, but he didn't show any look or expression of looking down on Ye Chen, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, such a life is also very leisurely and elegant. To tell you the truth, I am quite envious!" ===== CHAPTER 440 =====
