Chapter 51
Zhou Liangyun was shocked!
He never dreamed that this vase restored with eggs would become an even more precious treasure!
So he hurriedly pointed at Ye Chen: "Eldest Miss, it was this gentleman who restored it..."
Song Wanting looked at Ye Chen, secretly puzzled in her heart. He was too young; how could he know this lost cultural relic restoration technique?
Smiling slightly, Song Wanting asked politely, "I am Song Wanting of the Song family. How should I address you, sir? May I ask which cultural relic master you studied under?"
The father-in-law, Xiao Changkun, who was terrified on the side, was shocked and speechless the moment he heard Song Wanting's name!
The Song family!
The Song family is the top family in all of Jin Ling! Although their strength cannot compare to those super families in Yan Jing, in Jin Ling, they are truly an unrivaled giant!
He really didn't expect that he would be able to meet the eldest miss of the Song family here!
On this side, Ye Chen had no feeling about Song Wanting's identity. Although the Song family was very strong, they were just a family at the level of hundreds of billions in assets. Compared to a family like the Ye family with trillions in assets, they were truly a hundred thousand miles away.
So he said indifferently, "My name is Ye Chen, but I don't have any master."
Following closely, Ye Chen said again, "My father-in-law broke your jade pot spring vase, and I restored it. Please appraise the specific value to see if we still need to compensate."
Song Wanting shook her head and smiled, "After your restoration, this vase has far exceeded its original value. Logically speaking, it should be our Jiqing Hall that owes you."
Ye Chen smiled indifferently: "No need to be so polite. Since things here have been handled, then my father-in-law and I should go back."
Song Wanting's big eyes turned slightly, and she smiled and said, "Sir, may I ask your surname and how to address you? Can you leave contact information for future communication?"
As she spoke, Song Wanting took out her business card, handed it over, and said, "Sir, this is my business card, please accept it."
Ye Chen nodded, accepted the business card, and said indifferently, "My surname is Ye, but I don't have a business card."
"It doesn't matter," Song Wanting said, "I wonder if it's convenient for Mr. Ye to leave a phone number?"
Ye Chen felt that getting to know more people was naturally not a bad thing, and this Song Wanting looked quite polite and humble, not like an arrogant and domineering person, and she looked quite pleasing to the eye.
So he exchanged mobile numbers with Song Wanting.
Only then did Song Wanting say, "Mr. Ye, would you like me to send a car to take you two back?"
Ye Chen waved his hand and said, "No need, I drove here."
Song Wanting nodded and said, "Then I will see you two out!"
Afterwards, Song Wanting saw them to the BMW 530, watched Ye Chen drive away, and then walked back to Jiqing Hall slowly.
Ye Chen drove back, and his father-in-law couldn't help but ask him, "Ye Chen, who did you learn the craft of restoring cultural relics from?"
Ye Chen naturally couldn't say that he discovered a magical "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra" in the vase he broke. After all, this book was too magical, and there was so much content in it that he still needed to digest it slowly. Moreover, this kind of thing couldn't be told to anyone.
So he said casually, "I learned it from an old man who swept the floor at the orphanage before."
The father-in-law nodded and sighed, "It's truly fortunate. If you didn't have this ability, I'm afraid I would have had to go to jail..."
As he spoke, the father-in-law hurriedly instructed, "By the way! You must not tell your mother and Churan about this, do you understand?"
Ye Chen nodded: "I understand, Dad."
Only then did the father-in-law breathe a sigh of relief, rubbed his face, and said very annoyedly, "If I had known you had this craft, then why would I have run like hell? Not to mention being exhausted to death, I was also slapped several times. Damn it, bad luck!"
After speaking, he asked Ye Chen, "Can you still see the marks on my face?"
Ye Chen said, "Still a little red."
The father-in-law gave a hum and said, "If your mother asks when we get home, just say I accidentally bumped into a utility pole."
Returning home, Ye Chen was busy going to the vegetable market to buy groceries and cook.
He called his wife Xiao Churan to ask what she wanted to eat, but she replied that she had to meet with Wang Dongxue in the evening to discuss the construction plan, and Wang Dongxue was preparing to treat her to a meal at the Dihao Group.
Following closely, Wang Dongxue also sent him a text message, saying, "Young Master, the young mistress is about to start construction here, so she might be quite busy recently, please don't mind."
Ye Chen was not an unreasonable person; knowing that business was important, he replied to her, "Make sure to treat her well with the company meals, don't let her eat boxed lunches."
Wang Dongxue immediately said, "Don't worry, I will arrange for the company executive restaurant to prepare the best dinner to treat the young mistress."
"Hmm, well done."
Since his wife wasn't coming home for dinner, Ye Chen didn't have so many requirements; he bought some ingredients casually and went home to cook a home-cooked meal for his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
After eating, the old couple went out to dance square dance, and Ye Chen was at home alone, still recalling some mysterious content in the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra" in his brain.
At this time, he suddenly received a call; it was from Wang Daokun.
Ye Chen didn't want to answer his call at first. This kid was really a bit obsessed; he kindly reminded him, but he turned against him, which made people feel a bit stifled.
But thinking that he was also pitiful enough, Ye Chen still answered the call and asked him, "Is something the matter?"
On the other end of the phone, Wang Daokun sobbed vaguely, "Ye Chen, good brother, I'm sorry! It was me who misunderstood you!"
Ye Chen heard him crying hard, and couldn't help but feel a bit unbearable in his heart, asking him, "Do you know the truth of the matter?"
Wang Daokun cried and said, "After you finished talking to me, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong, so I used the location of her Apple phone to find a villa in a villa area. As a result, I knocked on the door to catch them in the act, and was beaten up by that man and his driver and butler, and then I was taken to the hospital by ambulance..."
Speaking of this, Wang Daokun collapsed and wailed, "Ye Chen, it's me, your brother, who was blind and misunderstood you. You must not be angry with me. You are my only good friend. If you also turn against me, I really have nothing left in Jin Ling..."
Ye Chen sighed and said, "I don't blame you. Which hospital are you in now?"
"I'm at the People's Hospital," Wang Daokun said, "My leg was broken by him with a baseball bat. The doctor said I can't get out of bed for a while. The painting you gave me, I had it on me when I went out to catch them. Can I trouble you to help me mortgage this painting to a pawnshop? All my money was put into the restaurant, and now I'm penniless and have no money to treat my illness..."
Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately questioned, "Didn't those people who hurt you pay the medical expenses?"
"No..."
"Did you call the police?"
"I did, it was useless. The police officer said I trespassed on private property, and they were acting in self-defense when they hit me..."
"Unreasonable!" Ye Chen was furious and said, "Wait for me, I'm coming over right now!"
