Chapter 943: Giving You a Surprise

Hearing Ye Chen's question, Chen Zekai was also puzzled: "Young Master, to be honest, I don't really know your aunt. With my status, it is actually very difficult for me to have any direct contact with the direct members of the Ye family. Steward Tang has more daily contact with them. Why don't you call him and ask?"

Ye Chen waved his hand and said indifferently: "Forget it. Asking over the phone has no meaning. Let the soldiers come, let the water be blocked; let's see what she actually wants to do first."

Chen Zekai asked again: "Then are you going to have dinner with your aunt tomorrow?"

Ye Chen nodded: "I will go. If the time is set, just tell me then. You don't need to pick me up; I will go there myself."

"Very well!"

Ye Chen thought of his aunt's appearance in the past. In his impression, she was a rather snobbish and mean woman. She married a young master of a quasi-first-tier family in Yan Jing when he was five years old. Later, she had a son. As for the situation afterward, he didn't know.

Therefore, Ye Chen asked Chen Zekai: "Old Chen, what is my aunt's status in the Ye family now? Logically speaking, she is married; shouldn't she be unable to interfere with her maiden family's affairs?"

Chen Zekai answered truthfully: "Young Master, your aunt has long been separated from her husband. Ever since they separated, she moved back to the Ye family."

Ye Chen frowned slightly and asked: "Separated? What happened?"

Chen Zekai gave a dry laugh and said: "Actually, these things shouldn't be said by a servant like me, but since you asked, Young Master, I will tell you..."

Following this, Chen Zekai paused slightly and explained: "When your aunt married into the Sun family, although the Sun family couldn't compare to the Ye family, it was still a quasi-first-tier family in all of Yan Jing, and its overall strength was considered very good. However, six or seven years ago, the Sun family bet everything on the steel industry, invested a large sum of money, and started a steel group. It just so happened that the steel industry collapsed continuously, so the Sun family also lost a lot of money, and at least half of the family business was lost."

Speaking of this, Chen Zekai smiled helplessly: "Ever since the Sun family went downhill, your aunt has always wanted a divorce. It is just that the Old Master felt that divorce would damage his face, so he didn't let her. Your aunt simply moved out of the Sun family, returned to the Ye family, and then started working for the Ye family again."

Ye Chen nodded lightly and laughed: "It seems my aunt is not a fuel-efficient lamp either."

Chen Zekai laughed: "Your aunt's temper is indeed quite bad; it is famous in Yan Jing. So when you meet her tomorrow, if there is anything that isn't said well, please don't be too impulsive."

"Good, I know." Ye Chen smiled indifferently and said: "Actually, I don't need to think to guess that she is likely wanting me to return to the Ye family."

"Yes." Chen Zekai agreed: "I think so too. Steward Tang said that the Old Master really wants you to go back. Considering that you might be quite resistant at first, he didn't explicitly bring this matter up."

Ye Chen laughed: "The Ye family should be very happy about the Su family's incident, right?"

Chen Zekai also laughed: "You really helped the Ye family a big favor. The Su family hasn't suffered such a big loss in many years. The Old Master should be very happy."

Ye Chen put away his smile, sighed, and said with an increasingly firm gaze: "For these two families, hitting only one of them is just benefiting the other. Only by being able to step on both of them at the same time one day can it be considered a true success!"

When Chen Zekai drove to the entrance of Tang Chen Yi Pin, it was already eleven o'clock at night.

Ye Chen carried his suitcase, walked into Tang Chen Yi Pin alone, arrived at his villa gate, and swiped his card to enter the courtyard.

The house was brightly lit, and he figured his wife and parents-in-law hadn't slept yet, so Ye Chen opened the main door directly with his fingerprint.

At this time, Xiao Churan, Xiao Changkun, and Ma Lan, the family of three, were sitting in front of the living room, watching TV intently.

Xiao Churan heard the door open, turned her head to look, and discovered that it was Ye Chen who had returned. She was pleasantly surprised and ran toward him, shouting excitedly: "Husband, why did you come back today? Didn't you say on the video yesterday that you might have to wait another two days?"

Ye Chen laughed: "That was to give you a surprise!"

After saying this, Xiao Churan had already run in front of him and threw herself directly into his arms.

Ye Chen had been in Japan for these few days, and Xiao Churan had been missing him day and night.

Before this, she rarely had this kind of feeling.

It was like when Ye Chen went to Yan Jing, she missed him, but not this intensely.

So, seeing Ye Chen suddenly return, she couldn't care about her usual reserve and hugged him directly.

Ye Chen didn

So, he said to Xiao Churan: "Wife, if we're going to hug, let's wait until we're back in the room. After all, Mom and Dad are still watching."

Xiao Churan also came back to her senses, her face instantly flushing with shyness.

She said with a mix of shyness and lingering fear: "We just watched the news; it turns out there was a massacre in Japan a few days ago, with over thirty people dead. It's truly terrifying!"

Ye Chen asked in surprise: "Was it reported domestically?"

"Yes!" Xiao Churan nodded repeatedly and said seriously: "Several television stations are broadcasting it. It seems they even deployed the military to the airport to arrest the suspects; they caught three busloads of suspects alone. The public security in Japan is just too scary. If I had known it was so chaotic over there, I wouldn't have let you go no matter what!"

Ye Chen said with a smile: "I didn't know it was so chaotic over there either, but it should just be an isolated incident."

Ma Lan had already run over in high spirits at this moment and said excitedly: "Oh, my good son-in-law, you've finally returned! You don't know how much Mom missed you while you were in Japan all these days!"

Xiao Changkun immediately undermined her from the side, humming: "You don't miss Ye Chen; you're just thinking about the things he brought back for you!"

Ma Lan immediately glared at Xiao Changkun and scolded: "Xiao Changkun, stop farting! What I said came from the bottom of my heart. Even if my good son-in-law didn't bring me anything, I would still miss him!"

After finishing this outburst, Ma Lan immediately turned her head to look at Ye Chen and asked with a smile: "Good son-in-law, did you bring Mom a gift this time?"

Ye Chen nodded: "I did, I did, I brought gifts for everyone."

As he spoke, he took out the gifts he had bought.

He first took out the ring for Xiao Churan, handed it to his wife's hand, and said: "Wife, this is for you. Open it and take a look!"

Xiao Churan asked in surprise: "What is it?"

Ye Chen smiled: "You'll know once you unwrap the packaging."

Ma Lan, who was on the side, also hurriedly urged: "Churan, hurry up and unwrap it. Let Mom see too, and see what kind of gift your good husband prepared for you!"
