Chapter 800

Ye Chen did not know who the cousin Dong Ruolin was talking about was.

He just felt that there were many rich people in Yan Jing, and many wealthy young masters as well. Eight or nine out of ten of these wealthy young masters were rather cocky playboys, so he was not surprised.

When he and Dong Ruolin arrived at the entrance of the Dong family villa, it was already filled with various luxury cars.

Outside the door, two middle-aged men were warmly welcoming guests. Dong Ruolin came forward and hurriedly introduced them: "Dad, Uncle, let me introduce you. This is my friend from Jin Ling, Ye Chen."

The two middle-aged men looked Ye Chen up and down. Dong Ruolin's uncle spoke up: "I haven't heard of any family with the surname Ye in Jin Ling, have I?"

Dong Ruolin hurriedly explained, "Ye Chen is not from any family; he is my university classmate."

Back then, Ye Chen had been arranged by Old Master Xiao to study at Jin Ling University for a year. At that time, he was not only a classmate of Xiao Churan but also a classmate of Dong Ruolin.

The reason Dong Ruolin did not say that this was Xiao Churan's husband was actually to leave herself a way out. In case she ever really had a chance to develop something with Ye Chen, and she brought him home, if her family saw him and immediately remembered he was Xiao Churan's husband, it would be too awkward.

Hearing that he was Dong Ruolin's university classmate, her uncle was somewhat dismissive and said, "Since he's a university classmate, arrange for him to go in and be seated."

Dong Ruolin's father whispered an instruction at this time: "Ruolin, I just heard your cousin say that the young master of the Gu family is coming later. You must seize the opportunity to get to know the young master of the Gu family."

Dong Ruolin couldn't help but frown and said, "What's there to get to know about him? Those two playboys from the Gu family are no good; their reputations have long been rotten in the streets!"

"What do you know?" Dong Ruolin's father scolded sternly: "The Gu family is the third-ranked family in Yan Jing, and their family strength is very powerful. And don't forget, the Gu family's male line is not flourishing; there are only two boys in total, so their value is even greater!"

In families with many boys, no matter how great their strength is, they will eventually fall apart.

Some families are said to have hundreds of billions in funds, but the descendants are too numerous, and the assets are divided very severely. It is possible that the entire family cannot find a single person with assets exceeding ten billion, so for such families, the value of the male descendants naturally does not go up.

The Gu family only has two male descendants, Gu Weiliang and Gu Weiguang. Even if each of their two families only has about 12.5% of the group's shares, each person's net worth is over one hundred billion.

Dong Ruolin's father, Dong Jianghe, had always wanted Dong Ruolin to marry a top-tier rich second generation to reverse the Dong family's decline.

Previously, he and the Dong family's old master heard that the Ye family had bought the Emgrand Group in Jin Ling and had given it to a Ye family descendant. He thought that the Ye family had sent one of their descendants to Jin Ling for training, so he immediately arranged for Dong Ruolin to work at the Emgrand Group.

However, Dong Ruolin had been in Jin Ling for so long that she hadn't even seen the chairman of the Emgrand Group, so Dong Ruolin's father gradually lost confidence.

He even thought about simply not letting his daughter return to Jin Ling this time. After wasting half a year there with no results, it would be better to come back quickly and find a reliable big family descendant in Yan Jing.

As it happened, his nephew had just come in and said excitedly that he had put aside his pride today and finally invited the young master of the Gu family over, so he felt this was a good opportunity for his daughter.

However, Dong Ruolin had no interest in the young master of the Gu family.

Even the mysterious young master of the Ye family, she didn't care about anymore. Ever since Ye Chen saved her, he was the only one in her heart, and no other man could catch her eye.

Thus, she said with a cold expression, "Dad, I have no interest in the young master of the Gu family. Don't make me get to know him!"

After speaking, she looked at Ye Chen and said, "Ye Chen, let's go in!"

"You child!" Dong Jianghe said angrily: "Why are you so ungrateful? If you could be with the young master of the Gu family, why would you need to go to Jin Ling?"

Dong Ruolin subconsciously glanced at Ye Chen again, then stubbornly said to her father: "I just like Jin Ling! When I find a husband in the future, I must find one in Jin Ling!"

Dong Jianghe scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? What kind of decent family is there in Jin Ling? How can Dong Jianghe's daughter marry a man from such a small place!"

Dong Ruolin said very disappointedly: "Dad, why have you become so snobbish now?"

"I'm snobbish?" Dong Jianghe said: "Isn't all this for your own good?"

On the side, Dong Ruolin's uncle spoke up: "Alright, Jianghe, this matter is not urgent. Let Ruolin accompany her classmate inside first."

Seeing his older brother come out to smooth things over, Dong Jianghe said to Dong Ruolin: "Alright, alright, go in first. I'll have your mother talk to you properly later!"

Dong Ruolin said angrily: "It's useless for anyone to talk about this!"

With that, she immediately stepped forward to grab Ye Chen and blurted out: "Let's go, Ye Chen, let's go in!"

Ye Chen was helpless and didn't want to interfere in other people's family affairs, so he hurriedly followed her into the villa.

Dong Jianghe stomped his feet in anger. His older brother on the side said: "Jianghe, your eye for people seems to be getting worse!"

"What?" Dong Jianghe asked in surprise: "Brother, what do you mean by that?"

Dong Jianghe's older brother smiled and said: "Didn't you see just now that Ruolin kept staring at the man beside her? Especially when you asked her to get to know the young master of the Gu family, she immediately looked at that man when she heard it. There must be a problem here!"

"What problem?" Dong Jianghe blurted out: "Brother, you don't mean to say that Ruolin might like that kid, do you?"

"I think it's likely." Dong Jianghe's older brother said seriously: "Didn't you hear Ruolin say they were university classmates? That means they knew each other a long time ago. And this kid is in Jin Ling, and Ruolin has been staying in Jin Ling for the past half year. It's possible they already got together while in Jin Ling!"

Dong Jianghe's expression changed: "Damn it, a small-time punk from Jin Ling dares to have designs on my daughter? This is outrageous!"

With that, he immediately said: "Brother, you keep an eye on things here. I'm going to ask Ruolin what's going on!"

Dong Jianghe's older brother hurriedly held him back: "Why are you in such a rush? If you go to ask Ruolin now and end up arguing, wouldn't that disturb our mother's birthday banquet? If you ask me, you should endure it for now and ask Ruolin what's going on in private after the birthday banquet."

Dong Jianghe hesitated for a moment. Thinking of his mother's birthday banquet and the many guests, it was indeed not suitable to question his daughter at this time, so he had to nod and said somewhat gloomily: "That kid is a toad lusting after swan meat. I'll definitely make him pay later!"
