Chapter 424

~7 min read 1,357 words

It was noon, and the diligent Tangyuan was still observing every move in the building ahead.

Suddenly, it felt its master calling it and flashed into the space.

Beside its little nest, there was an extra plate of fragrant braised fish. Immediately, saliva secreted.

"Meow."

Thank you, Master!

"Don't thank me, it's your Big Boss, he specially ordered it for you."

Shen Man didn't take credit, but told Tangyuan what her man had done silently.

Immediately, Tangyuan was even more moved.

Shen Man didn't stay in the space for too long. After simply reminding Tangyuan to protect itself, she flashed out of the space...

Tangyuan ate the braised fish bite by bite; it was so fragrant it was almost dizzy.

The Big Boss is so good. It decided that after finishing this task, it would work hard to search for the hidden gold and silver jewelry and send a portion to the Big Boss. After all, men should also have some private money, right?

Jiang Ye, who didn't know he was being thought of by Tangyuan, was checking out at the counter at this time.

Not finishing the food? That was impossible. With his physique, a clean plate was inevitable.

Hmm, counter staff, his car was parked outside the hotel, could he rest for an hour before leaving?

After receiving an affirmative reply, he nodded slightly and left with the two children.

The couple returned to the car with the children, and the car doors were all opened.

The afternoon sun was quite scorching, but it was much milder than the kind of sun on the Sea Island.

The two children were probably full and satisfied, starting to feel sleepy, their eyelids fighting.

Before long, with their parents gently patting their backs, they nestled comfortably in their parents' arms and fell asleep.

"Let's take a nap too."

Shen Man was also a bit dizzy, yawned, and signaled for her man to lean against the back of the seat and rest for a while.

She herself gently leaned her head on her man's shoulder, and before long, she fell into a dream...

At the Gu family, Gu Tingchen felt a palpitation.

He thought it was because he had been busy taking care of his father-in-law's injuries recently and was sleep-deprived, so his body couldn't take it.

After he tried hard to ignore that palpitation, he went home expressionlessly.

At home, his mother-in-law and wife and daughter were immersed in sadness. He twitched the corners of his lips, perked up, and went over to soothe them:

"Mom, Meiqin, you can't go on like this anymore. Dad's funeral still needs you to help manage it."

"Sigh, Tingchen, such a big thing happened, we don't know what to do either. We can only trouble you to worry more."

Ye Mu's eyes were slightly red, not because she was so sad about her husband's passing, but because she had just had an argument with her daughter.

Her daughter's attitude made her feel a bit uncomfortable, blocked.

"Tingchen, are you hungry? Let's eat first."

Ye Mei Qin rubbed her eyebrows. Although there was blue-black under her eyes, her mind was very clear.

Her mother hoped she would inherit the trade business and become the new Chairman.

But she always felt her father's death wasn't simple. Rashly taking over the Chamber of Commerce might put her in danger and make her a target.

Her daughter hadn't grown up yet, and she didn't want to lose her life because of this.

Seeing Gu Tingchen, she suddenly had an idea in her heart.

"Mom, I've thought about it. I have to take care of Nannan and my own work. Why not hand over the Chamber of Commerce Dad left behind to Tingchen to manage?"

Her idea was very simple. Gu Tingchen was greedy for power, money, and beauty. With her around, the other party wouldn't cheat for a while.

In the future, it's hard to say.

She believed that as long as the interests were involved, the other party wouldn't treat their mother and daughter stingily with money.

And letting Gu Tingchen take over the Chamber of Commerce would shift the target to Gu Tingchen himself.

She would be safe.

He wasn't greedy; besides the Chamber of Commerce, she had other industries.

If the Chamber of Commerce grew bigger and stronger, then in the end, all of this would be her daughter's.

Gu Tingchen couldn't have descendants?

What's there to be afraid of?

Revealing her trust in him at this time might make the other party feel guilty towards her and treat her doubly well.

"How can this be? The Chamber of Commerce is the hard work of Father-in-law's whole life. As his daughter, you should be the one to inherit it. How could it be my turn, the son-in-law?"

Although he said so, Gu Tingchen was very satisfied with his wife's understanding of the situation.

He didn't know the entanglement between the Ye family and the Chamber of Commerce with some forces. In his eyes, the Chamber of Commerce was a piece of fat meat, a cornucopia. If he got it, he would not only have power but also wealth, and would no longer have to look at others' faces.

Although his wife getting it was equal to him getting it, holding it all in his own hands was definitely more secure.

"Since Meiqin said so, I am also very relieved to support you in inheriting the Chamber of Commerce."

Seeing this, Ye Mu lowered her eyes. Although there was sadness on her face, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes.

Actually, thinking carefully, it wouldn't be a bad idea for the son-in-law to inherit the Chamber of Commerce.

Nowadays, the outside world is watching the Ye family's next reaction. If they don't determine the successor quickly, then those side branches of the Ye family and those old oil sticks in the Chamber of Commerce will all emerge to tear at the fat meat.

Instead of benefiting outsiders, it's better to benefit one's own people.

Besides, her daughter had already told her that the son-in-law could never have his own descendants in this life, and in the end, everything would definitely belong to her granddaughter, Nannan.

Even if the son-in-law inherits the authority of the Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and gets the benefits, in the end, everything he fights for will still return to their Ye family's bloodline.

"Mom."

Gu Tingchen was actually a bit moved at this moment, because he didn't know what the mother and daughter were planning, only feeling that both of them were trusting him wholeheartedly and lifting him up.

"Then I will respectfully obey. Mother-in-law, please rest assured, I will find the murderer and avenge Father-in-law!"

"Mm, I believe you."

Ye Mu nodded gratifiedly, and this matter was settled.

All three were immersed in their own little worlds and didn't notice the figure in the kitchen who had been eavesdropping on them for a long time.

Wang Ma was stirring something absentmindedly, but in her mind, she was weighing the pros and cons.

If the son-in-law inherited the Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't everything her son was planning go down the drain?

After thinking about it, she had to find an excuse to go out as soon as possible and tell her son the information she heard.

Actually, in the years she had been drifting in the Capital, she had almost forgotten her original origin and mission.

But now someone from her hometown had recognized her and issued her an order.

If she didn't complete the order, her identity would be exposed, and not only would her relatives in her hometown be liquidated, but her only son in the Capital would also be...

I'm sorry, Miss. Our identities are different, our positions are different. Although I treat you as my own daughter, in front of my own son, I can only be sorry to you, Miss.

Wang Ma quietly put the powder in her arms into the kelp and pork rib soup. The spoon stirred the soup in the pot, and soon, the powder dissolved in the soup...
