Chapter 102: Let Me Enjoy It First!

Seeing Xiao Churan in a state of panic, Ye Chen smiled and reassured her, “Wife, don’t worry about the villa. President Wang won’t come looking for trouble.”

Xiao Changkun shook his head repeatedly, “No way! Last time you helped the Qin family with feng shui, you spent over a hundred million to buy that shell thing. Now the Wang family is looking for you again. Both families are prominent in Jinling City. With your limited feng shui knowledge, it’s only a matter of time before it gets exposed! If they pursue this, our whole family will suffer!”

As he spoke, Xiao Changkun urged, “You should quickly return the villa to the Wang family. Otherwise, if they come back to settle the score later, we’re all done for!”

At that moment, Ye Chen’s mother-in-law, Ma Lan, interjected, “Return what? This big villa is a gift from President Wang to Ye Chen, not something he stole! Why should we return it? From now on, this is our family’s villa!”

Ma Lan had never imagined she would have the chance to live in such a luxurious villa. Now that they had it, Xiao Changkun’s suggestion to return it felt like a death sentence.

Xiao Churan helplessly exclaimed, “Mom! We can’t just accept things like this; it will be very troublesome in the future!”

“Troublesome my foot!” Ma Lan scoffed, then turned to Ye Chen with a flattering expression, “Oh, Ye Chen, I didn’t expect you to have such great ability to earn a villa like this.”

With a beaming smile, Ma Lan excitedly said, “You’re truly a good son-in-law! If you had gone to help with feng shui earlier, our family would have struck it rich long ago!”

Xiao Changkun couldn’t take it anymore and said, “Wife, this isn’t just about the villa. Even if Ye Chen helped someone with feng shui, how could he receive such an expensive villa? What if the Wang family regrets it later? Wouldn’t they hold a grudge against us?”

Ma Lan jumped up, pointing at Xiao Changkun’s nose and scolding, “Don’t talk nonsense with me! I’ve lived in poverty with you my whole life, and now that we finally have a big villa, you don’t want it? Let me tell you, if you dare to make our son-in-law return this villa, I’ll divorce you!”

“You… you… you’re like a mouse serving a cat! You’re risking your life for money!”

Xiao Changkun was so angry he couldn’t speak and sat down heavily on the sofa.

Ye Chen smiled and said, “Dad, don’t worry. This villa won’t be taken away.”

“Good son-in-law, you really are capable.”

Ma Lan looked around excitedly, touching antiques and paintings, unable to contain her joy, “Let Xiao Changkun show off now. I live in a big villa while they can only buy a flat outside. It’s really thirty years on the east bank and thirty years on the west bank…”

Xiao Churan couldn’t stand it anymore and pulled Ye Chen aside, whispering, “Tell me the truth, what’s going on?”

Ye Chen replied, “Wife, don’t worry. It’s definitely legitimate. But I can’t explain it clearly right now. I promise to tell you when the time is right.”

“Since you say there’s a reason, I believe you.” Xiao Churan thought for a moment and said, “But you should stop doing feng shui for now, so Dad and I won’t worry.”

Ye Chen took the opportunity to hold her hand and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to make you anxious. Dad is still urging us to have a child. What would you do if something happened to me?”

“Stop being so glib.”

Xiao Churan’s face flushed, and she quickly pulled her hand away.

At that moment, Ma Lan cheerfully came down the stairs, shouting as she walked.

“…When I come back from my trip next week, I’ll invite everyone I know to come and see the big villa I bought!”

Xiao Churan said, “Mom, the villa was given to Ye Chen.”

“He is our son-in-law, so the villa he received is also ours.”

Ma Lan said proudly, shaking the bracelet on her wrist, “I’ve already posted it on WeChat Moments. Look at this bracelet and the big villa; everyone is liking it!”

Ye Chen looked at Ma Lan’s bracelet, which was the one Qin Gang had given him and which he had planned to pass on to his wife. He didn’t expect it to end up with his mother-in-law.

…

At the Wang family’s mansion.

Wang Yunfei stood in the living room, reporting everything he learned from the phone to his father in detail.

After finishing, he hesitated for a while before looking up and saying, “Dad, is Uncle getting old and confused? He just got the villa and hasn’t even lived in it for a day before giving it to that fool Ye Chen! You need to talk some sense into him!”

Wang’s father sat in a grand chair, his expression serious.

Wang Yunfei returned to report that his uncle had gifted the villa to Ye Chen.

At first, he didn’t believe it and specifically went to verify with his older brother, Wang Zhenggang. To his surprise, it was true!

Moreover, when it came to the reason for gifting the villa, Wang Zhenggang merely mentioned that he owed Ye Chen a favor.

What kind of favor could make the notoriously stingy Wang Zhenggang give away such an expensive mansion?

Wang’s father said with a stern face, “I’ve already called your uncle. He seems very determined to get the villa back, so it’s unlikely.”

Wang Yunfei gritted his teeth and said, “Dad, do you think there’s something wrong with Ye Chen? We’ve been investigating for so long and can’t find any real information about him. It’s strange.”

Wang’s father pondered for a moment and said slowly, “Your uncle has always been shrewd. He would never curry favor with Ye Chen for no reason. So regardless of any issues Ye Chen may have, you must avoid provoking him for the time being. Keep your distance. I’ll ask your uncle again tonight to see what background this person has.”

“Understood.”

…

Meanwhile, the Xiao family was complaining to Grandma Xiao.

Xiao Weiwei cried, snot and tears flowing, “Grandma, this Ye Chen doesn’t know what means he used to trick the Wang family into giving him the villa in Tangchen Yipin. That’s a villa worth over a hundred million! And after he got the villa, he didn’t even come to pay respects to you, and he kicked our whole family out of the villa. Isn’t that too much?”

Grandma Xiao sat in the main seat, her expression stern and clearly displeased as she coldly huffed, “That Ye Chen is indeed too disrespectful!”

“Yes, Mom! That Ye Chen is really outrageous!” Xiao Changkun also said with a serious face, “As the son-in-law of the Xiao family, he should know that any good things in the Xiao family should first be enjoyed by you. This villa is in a remote location and is old and outdated; it should have been replaced long ago. If he truly cared about you, he would have given you the villa in Tangchen Yipin first! Let you enjoy it!”

As soon as he said this, Grandma Xiao’s eyes lit up!

The Xiao family’s villa had been lived in for over ten years. Although it looked quite impressive, it was already an old property, and given its poor location, it could only sell for one or two million.

The villa in Tangchen Yipin was a hundred times better than this one. Grandma Xiao was very envious but had no money to buy it.

However, upon hearing that Ye Chen had acquired the largest villa in Tangchen Yipin, and with Xiao Changkun fanning the flames, she felt that this villa should indeed be enjoyed first by her as the head of the family!
