Chapter 727

Each of these gift boxes was comparable in size to a business briefcase, adopting a black and gold tone overall, appearing luxurious yet low-key and steady.

Ye Chen couldn't help but be curious, "Why is one set so big?"

Chen Zekai hurriedly explained, "Young Master, the gift box set I chose is the most complete and expensive one in their house. Inside, it contains their full series of products, and their most classic face cream and eye cream are both in extra-large sizes."

Ye Chen nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Zekai hurriedly said, "Young Master, this is what I should do!"

Ye Chen gave an "um" and said, "By the way, Old Chen, I plan to go to Yan Jing next week. The affairs in Jin Ling will be left to you and Hong Wu, especially my wife's side. You must send people to protect her secretly. The Wu family is still lingering on, and I guess they are still unwilling to give up."

Chen Zekai exclaimed, "Young Master, you are going to Yan Jing? Are you returning to the Ye family?"

Ye Chen shook his head, "I don't have plans to return yet."

Chen Zekai asked in surprise, "Young Master, please forgive me for being talkative, what exactly are you going to Yan Jing for this time? If you are not returning to the Ye family, then you must be careful of that Kong Delong of the Kong family! I heard that he has been resting in bed at home for half a month after surgery, and he hates you to the bone!"

"Hates me to the bone?" Ye Chen sneered, "A mere young master of the Kong family dares to bark at me? I have my own serious business to attend to this time in Yan Jing. If he doesn't have eyes and dares to come and provoke me, then I will definitely not let him have an easy time."

Chen Zekai asked again, "Young Master, then should I notify the family and let them receive you over there, so they can provide you with some convenience."

"No need." Ye Chen said, "I don't want the Ye family to know about my trip this time, so you must keep it a secret for me."

"Alright, Young Master."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Old Chen, I want to ask you one thing."

Chen Zekai hurriedly said, "Young Master, please ask."

Ye Chen asked, "Do you know what exactly happened to my parents' death back then?"

Chen Zekai said awkwardly, "Young Master, when your parents passed away, I wasn't working for the Ye family yet. I was studying at the time. After graduation, I was hired by a company under the Ye family, and then gradually promoted to be the spokesperson for Jin Ling. Your parents' affairs were a strictly forbidden topic in the Ye family at the time. Those with more seniority than me at the time kept their mouths shut about it, so I didn't pursue the details."

Ye Chen frowned and nodded gently.

Looking at it this way, there must be a hidden story about his parents' affairs back then. It's just that this might be a top secret in the Ye family, and with Chen Zekai's status, it's hard to touch.

So he didn't pursue it further, just instructed him, "Old Chen, remember not to mention our conversation just now to anyone. If the Ye family asks, you must absolutely not reveal it."

Chen Zekai's expression tightened, and he blurted out, "Young Master, don't worry! I will never reveal a single word to the outside!"

If this matter had been before Ye Chen killed the Eight Great Heavenly Kings under Mount Zhangbai, Chen Zekai would naturally have been more inclined toward the Ye family. Ye Chen was just a young master of the Ye family living outside, while the Ye family members were his true masters.

But when he saw Ye Chen's powerful supernatural powers with his own eyes under Mount Zhangbai, he made up his mind in his heart to bow to Ye Chen for the rest of his life!

That is to say, in the eyes of the current Chen Zekai, he only has one master, and that is Ye Chen.

If one day Ye Chen asked him to draw swords against the Ye family members, he would do so without hesitation.

Bidding farewell to Chen Zekai, Ye Chen drove away from the Jin Ling Gymnasium alone.

He didn't go home immediately, but made a phone call to his father-in-law Xiao Changkun, asking him, "Dad, where are you?"

Xiao Changkun said with a silly laugh, "Good son-in-law, I'm at the University for the Elderly. Our lecture was very successful. Everyone is discussing it enthusiastically now. You don't know, the atmosphere at the scene was truly great!"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, asking him, "Is Auntie Han there?"

"Of course!" Xiao Changkun gave a silly laugh and whispered, "Your Auntie Han is sitting right next to me. I'm teaching her how to appreciate Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy!"

"Not bad, Dad!" Ye Chen said with a smile, "You're even researching Yan Zhenqing now?"

"Heh." Xiao Changkun said happily, "What I research is more than just Yan Zhenqing? Wang Xizhi, Huang Tingjian, Liu Gongquan, Ouyang Xun, your dad has researched them all!"

Ye Chen smiled, "Good, I'll have to learn more from you another day."

As he spoke, he added, "By the way, Dad, I've already gotten the skincare products you wanted. Why don't I send them to you now? If I bring them home and Ma happens to find an extra set, it won't be easy to handle."

The reason Ye Chen asked Chen Zekai to prepare three sets of skincare products was that he felt that besides rewarding Ma Lan with one set, he naturally had to prepare one for his wife Xiao Churan. In addition, Xiao Changkun also wanted to give one to Han Meiqing.

However, if he brought all three sets home, in case Ma Lan saw them, besides the set for Xiao Churan, she would definitely find a way to take the remaining two for herself.

So, it's better to take out the set his father-in-law prepared to give to Han Meiqing first, to avoid long nights and many dreams.

It just so happens that his father-in-law is with Han Meiqing now, which is the best opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changkun was also immediately excited and said, "Oh, my good son-in-law, you really are capable! You just mentioned this matter this morning, and you've already handled it so quickly. This efficiency is truly too powerful!"

Ye Chen smiled indifferently, "Just a small matter, it's nothing. Wait for me for a moment, I'll be there right away."

Xiao Changkun hurriedly said, "Then give me a call when you arrive at the entrance of the University for the Elderly, and I'll go down."

"OK!"

Ten minutes later, Ye Chen arrived at the entrance of the Jin Ling University for the Elderly.

Parking the car steadily on the side, he made a phone call to his father-in-law Xiao Changkun.

Soon, Xiao Changkun ran out, leaned over to the window, and asked with a silly laugh, "Good son-in-law, where is that skincare product?"

Ye Chen got out of the car, opened the trunk, took out a gift box, and handed it to him, "Dad, this is it, you take it."

Xiao Changkun took the gift box and exclaimed, "Oh, so big and heavy? How many things are inside?"

Ye Chen said, "There are about a dozen products, all in one series, everything is there."

Xiao Changkun nodded, "To say it's so heavy, selling it for over a hundred thousand isn't too expensive."

Ye Chen smiled, "This isn't over a hundred thousand, this is the most expensive set in their house, priced at 388,888!"

"My god!" Xiao Changkun's eyeballs almost fell to the ground, "Just this one gift box, nearly 400,000? This is enough to buy a BMW, and it's a 5-series BMW! Buying an Audi A6 is also enough!"

Ye Chen nodded, "It's indeed enough."

Xiao Changkun smacked his lips and said, "Oh, such expensive cosmetics, how could that stinky woman Ma Lan deserve to use them! Hey, I say good son-in-law, why don't you take this set back and exchange it for a set worth over a hundred thousand for her? You can save yourself over two hundred thousand!"

After a pause, Xiao Changkun persuaded again, "This two hundred thousand, whatever you use it for, isn't it better than spending it on Ma Lan? With over two hundred thousand, we can buy a few antique paintings to hang at home, which can both set off our family's scholarly atmosphere and appreciate in value. Isn't it fragrant?"

Ye Chen joked, "Then it's better to return this set and spend a few thousand to buy a high-imitation set. That would save at least 380,000."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changkun slapped his thigh fiercely and blurted out, "Good son-in-law, this method is good! Return this set and get her a fake one. That's already treating her well!"
