Chapter 947: I Haven't Settled This Account With You Yet!

"Come home to take a look?"

Hearing these four words, Ye Chen couldn't help but smile.

Seeing that his smile was somewhat fake, Ye Changmin said: "Chen'er, people say that one leaves home young and returns old. You're not young anymore, and having been away from home for so many years, it's really time to go back and take a look."

Ye Chen nodded and agreed: "You're right. Having been away for so long, I should find time to go back and take a look."

As he spoke, he said with a smile: "How about this, I'll arrange some time in a while, and if I'm free, I'll go back and take a look."

Ye Chen seemed to have agreed to Ye Changmin's proposal, but in reality, it was nothing more than a stalling tactic.

"In a while," "arrange some time"—basically, it was equivalent to an indefinite period. Anyway, his only thought was to get through today.

Of course, Ye Changmin knew Ye Chen's plan and immediately said: "Chen'er, don't have any resistance towards the family. The family has always been very concerned about you. Don't forget, as soon as your grandfather heard you were in Jin Ling, he immediately asked Tang Sihai to send you the Dihao Group and 10 billion in cash. Reasonably and emotionally, you should go back and see the old man, don't you think?"

Ye Chen asked back: "Aunt, is it that as long as I go back to take a look, this matter will be considered settled and cleared?"

The dissatisfaction in Ye Changmin's heart grew stronger.

In her view, Ye Chen was indeed too ungrateful.

The Ye family had let her come all this way to invite him back; this was already giving him enough face. If he were slightly sensible, he should have agreed immediately and then gone back with her plane to spend the New Year.

She didn't expect him to play Tai Chi with her here and even talk about being "settled and cleared."

So, with a slightly displeased expression, she said to Ye Chen: "Chen'er, your grandfather has invested 110 billion RMB in you. Although this money doesn't count for much to the Ye family, purely in terms of quantity, it's definitely a huge sum. Can investing so much in you only be exchanged for you going back to take a look?"

Ye Chen looked at Ye Changmin and asked seriously: "Aunt, what exactly does the Ye family want from me? You don't need to hide it here. Why don't we lay our cards on the table."

Ye Changmin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said: "Fine, since you put it that way, I won't beat around the bush with you."

As she spoke, Ye Changmin sat up straight and said with a serious expression: "Your grandfather's intention is to first let you return to the Ye family to spend a reunion New Year together, and then, you need to hurry up and make a clean break with these matters in Jin Ling."

Ye Chen raised his eyes and asked with interest: "A clean break? How to make a clean break?"

Ye Changmin said: "In Jin Ling, you have nothing more than a Dihao Group and the family of your current wife."

As she spoke, Ye Changmin extended a finger and said in a bossy manner: "First, regarding the Dihao Group, you can continue to let Wang Dongxue handle it for you at that time. We have investigated this person; she has the ability, and looking at this period, the Dihao Group has developed quite well in her hands. It can be safely left to her."

Afterwards, Ye Changmin extended another finger: "Secondly, it's the family of your current wife, Xiao Churan. We have investigated the situation of the Xiao family. To tell you the truth, such a family, in front of the Ye family, doesn't even count as a fart! What virtue and ability does their family have to be in-laws with the Ye family?"

Ye Changmin was already full of disgust at this time, curled her lips and said: "So, I advise you to divorce that Xiao Churan as soon as possible and draw a clear line with their family. It's best to give them a sum of money directly and let them get out of China forever, so as to avoid anyone making a big deal out of them in the future and mocking our Ye family men for being indiscriminate!"

Hearing this, Ye Chen's face immediately became somewhat ugly, and his voice became increasingly cold, saying: "Aunt, my marriage is my own business, and it has nothing to do with you or the Ye family. So, please do not interfere!"

Ye Changmin sighed and advised: "Chen'er, don't be so impulsive. Think about it yourself, you are a descendant of the Ye family! If you pick ten people with the highest status and position among all the rich second-generation heirs in the country, you will definitely be one of them. How could that girl with the surname Xiao be worthy of you? She isn't even qualified to carry your shoes! In ancient times, she wouldn't even be qualified to be your concubine!"

Ye Chen said with some anger in his tone: "Aunt, Churan is my wife, and she married me when I was at the lowest point in my life. I will never divorce her, so you don't need to say such things again!"

Ye Changmin said with a look of regret: "Chen'er! Don't be emotional!"

Ye Chen said coldly: "Of course one should be emotional about emotional matters!"

Ye Changmin blurted out: "As a descendant of a wealthy family, emotions don't count for a fart! Do you remember your uncle-in-law? He looked like a talent and was very good to me for so many years, but so what? Once his family's strength couldn't match mine, I had to separate from him!"

Immediately after, Ye Changmin said with some unwillingness: "If it weren't for your grandfather thinking that a woman initiating a divorce would affect the reputation, and refusing to let me go through the divorce procedures, I would have cut off all ties with him long ago! As a man, you don't need to worry about divorce affecting your reputation at all. Just divorce that person with the surname Xiao, return to Yanjing, and marry a young lady from a family of equal status. Your future will definitely be limitless!"

After finishing, Ye Changmin continued: "Think about Gu Yanzhong's daughter, Gu Qiuyi. She has a marriage contract with you, and the Gu family is now the third-largest family in the country. You can completely divorce that girl with the surname Xiao and then marry Gu Qiuyi!"

Ye Chen sneered and said: "Sorry, I am a person who values emotions. You can do such things, but I can't!"

Seeing that Ye Chen didn't accept her suggestion, Ye Changmin immediately said: "Chen'er! You have to be clear, the Ye family is one of the top families in the country! Any woman who wants to marry into our Ye family must have a family background that matches the Ye family! Otherwise, it's dragging the Ye family down and making the Ye family lose face! The dignity of the Ye family must never be destroyed by you or by that low-class family with the surname Xiao!"

Ye Chen said coldly: "Sorry, although my surname is Ye, I am not someone you can control or manipulate at will. I make my own decisions about my marriage, and no one else has the right to interfere, and neither do you!"

"You!"

Ye Changmin was instantly furious, slapped the table, stood up, and shouted angrily: "Ye Chen! Do you think I'm talking to you nicely because I'm discussing it with you?!"

"What?" Ye Chen asked her coldly: "Are you going to force me to divorce?"

Ye Changmin scolded: "You are a descendant of the Ye family! You must follow the arrangements of the Ye family. What's more, do you think the Dihao Group and that 10 billion in cash were given to you for nothing?! If you don't listen, the Ye family can lift you up, and they can also step you down!"

Ye Chen was also instantly furious. He said coldly: "Stop talking about the Dihao Group and that 10 billion in cash here! The reason the Ye family was able to advance rapidly and stand at the peak of the country back then was because of my father's dedicated hard work and strategic decisions! If we calculate the family property, my father has at least a quarter of the inheritance rights of the Ye family. If you put it that way, let alone 110 billion, even 1.1 trillion is what I deserve!"

Speaking of this, Ye Chen's tone became even more severe, and he scolded: "My father did so much for the Ye family, but how did you repay him? You forced our family of three out of Yanjing! In the end, you caused my parents to die tragically! I haven't settled this account with you yet!"
