According to Chen Zekai, it was because he was afraid that too many waiters would make Ye Changmin feel annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen passed through the outer restaurant of the catering department and went straight to the Sky Garden located in the center. At this time, the eighty-eight banquet tables in the Sky Garden banquet hall had been completely removed, leaving only one exquisitely crafted Western-style dining table in the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen didn't need to think to know that the removal of the eighty-eight banquet tables and chairs must have been ordered by his aunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, he felt somewhat unhappy inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Ye Chen hadn't met this aunt yet, her style, which was almost like that of an ancient imperial relative, made Ye Chen feel very disgusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Ye Chen now had nearly 60 billion RMB in cash in his bank card, he still didn't have the slightest intention of putting on airs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone making a big fuss and wasting money just to eat a meal, even if he were to eat a bowl of beef noodles for ten yuan at a roadside noodle shop, he wouldn't feel there was anything wrong with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, clearing the entire Bai Jinhangong and emptying the entire Sky Garden just to eat a meal really couldn't make Ye Chen feel any sense of superiority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, it would make him very repulsed and resistant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by Chen Zekai, Ye Chen came to this only dining table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dining table was about two meters long and one meter wide, with two chairs placed at both ends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zekai personally pulled out one of the chairs for Ye Chen and said: \"Young Master, I have to trouble you to wait here for a moment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded lightly and said: \"Alright, you go do your work, I'll play with my phone and wait for her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Zekai hurriedly asked: \"Young Master, would you like to drink something first? I'll have someone prepare it for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen said: \"Just bring me a glass of plain water.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, Young Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen sat alone at the dining table, boredly fiddling with his phone, and happened to receive a message from Ito Nanako: \"What is Ye Chen-kun doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her message, Ye Chen smiled knowingly and replied: \"I'm outside preparing to eat. How about you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ito Nanako replied to him: \"I just came back from the hospital. I was keeping my father company at the hospital.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, Ito Nanako sent another message: \"Ye Chen-kun, does your wife like the ring you gave her? Is the size of the ring band suitable?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen replied: \"She likes it. Thank you for helping me try on the ring. The size of the ring band is also very suitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ito Nanako sent a smiling emoji and added: \"That couldn't be better! In four days, it will be the Chinese Lunar New Year. Nanako wishes Ye Chen-kun a Happy New Year in advance!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen had a smile on his face and typed a reply with his fingertips: \"Thank you! How is Mr. Ito's recovery?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ito Nanako replied: \"The doctor said he can be discharged after resting for a few more days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's good.\" Just as Ye Chen sent these three words, a woman dressed in luxurious and magnificent clothing walked into the entrance of the Sky Garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman looked to be about forty years old, wearing a limited-edition custom outfit from Chanel, with short-to-medium hair dyed yellow. Her face couldn't be considered beautiful, and besides being somewhat cold, her appearance also gave people a very mean feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This woman was Ye Chen's aunt, Ye Changmin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Changmin walked very fast, striding in and heading straight for the dining table where Ye Chen was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Chen Zekai followed closely by her side, his attitude very respectful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she was still a few meters away from Ye Chen, Ye Changmin said with a smile: \"Oh my, Chen'er, it's been so many years, you've already grown into a handsome young man!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen looked at Ye Changmin and also found some childhood memories from her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he gave a self-deprecating smile and said: \"I'll be 27 soon, I'm long past being a young man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Changmin appeared very intimate and said with a smile: \"Oh my, you look so much like your father! You're practically cut from the same mold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chen nodded and smiled: \"Compared to back then, Aunt doesn't seem to have changed much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Changmin laughed and said: \"In the blink of an eye, ten or twenty years have passed. I'm almost fifty years old, how could I still be the same as before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, Chen Zekai had already carefully pulled out Ye Changmin's chair first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ye Changmin sat down, she glanced at Ye Chen's side and saw that Ye Chen had been sitting in his chair the whole time and hadn't stood up before she sat down, which made her feel somewhat dissatisfied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the rules, a junior at the dining table should stand up and wait respectfully when an elder arrives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an elder speaks, the junior must bend over and listen carefully with their head lowered;\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If an elder sits down, the junior must wait until the elder is seated and indicates that they can sit before they can sit down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ye Chen was good; his butt seemed to have grown onto the chair the whole time. Let alone standing up, he was too lazy to even move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Changmin suddenly felt a bit angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She actually didn't have any good feelings for Ye Chen to begin with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Ye Chen had remained missing and never showed up again, that would naturally be the best for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she didn't expect that this kid, after being missing for so many years, would suddenly pop out to divide the Ye family's assets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What made her even more unable to accept was that the old man gave him a Dihao Group and 10 billion in cash, and that wasn't enough; he actually wanted him to return to the Ye family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked at Ye Chen, who was dressed ordinarily, had an easygoing temperament, and was somewhat ignorant of etiquette, and thought to herself: \"What qualifications does such a person have to return to the Ye family? Any direct member of the Ye family has received aristocratic education since childhood and then gone abroad for further studies. Compared to Ye Chen, who only spent one year as a senior in Jin Ling, it's like heaven and earth. Letting such a semi-illiterate return to the Ye family would definitely disgrace the Ye family!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, although Ye Changmin didn't like Ye Chen at all, she didn't dare to disobey the old man's instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, after she completely separated from her husband, her wishful thinking was to return to the Ye family and get a share of the Ye family's vast assets in the future.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was a married woman after all, and wanting to return to her maiden family to divide the family property was inherently rejected by her brothers, Ye Changkong and Ye Changyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, if Ye Changmin wanted to get a portion of the assets, she had to have the full support of the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, she had always followed the old man's lead in the Ye family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, who was usually arrogant, looked down on everyone, and dared to talk back to anyone, was the only one who didn't dare to disobey the old man's wishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as long as it was something the old man entrusted to her, she would always go all out to make the old man happy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, she also warned herself in her heart: \"This time, I must handle the matter the old man arranged for me beautifully! Not to mention persuading Ye Chen to return to the Ye family, at least I must make Ye Chen agree to return to the Ye family to spend the Lunar New Year with the old man this year!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, she suppressed the dissatisfaction with Ye Chen in her heart and said with a smile: \"Chen'er, you've really suffered in Jin Ling all these years. The family hasn't seen you for so many years, and everyone misses you very much. Have you thought about when you'll come home to take a look?\" \u003C\u002Fp>",1430,"2026-06-17T17:00:13.987Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","e112855c73939fb21fdc258bdd178a30a62d39ff0101f0c4063f73d5d7fa4afa","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-947","the-dragon-son-in-law-chapter-945",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-dragon-son-in-law-cover.jpg"]
