Chapter: 120

So he just casually said: "I learned from an old man who used to sweep floors at an orphanage before."

His grandfather nodded thoughtfully and sighed: "What a stroke of good luck! If you didn't have this talent, I would probably have ended up in prison......"

As he was speaking, his grandfather hastily admonished: "Remember, this matter must be kept secret from your mom and others. Got it?"

Ye Chen nodded: "Got it, Dad."

Only then did his grandfather relax, rubbing his face and looking quite vexed as he said: "I knew you had this talent earlier on, but I wouldn't have gone through all that trouble and taken so many beatings, what a shame! Mom's, curse!"

After finishing his rant, he asked Ye Chen: "Can my face still show any signs of the beating?"

Let me know if you need anything else!

He said, "There's still a little redness."

The grandfather nodded and said, "When you get home and your mom asks, just tell her I accidentally hit an electric pole."

...

Back at home, Ye Chen busied himself buying vegetables and cooking.

He gave his wife Xiu Ru a call to ask what she wanted for dinner. As it turned out, she replied that she would be meeting Wang Dongxue in the evening to discuss construction plans, and Wang Dongxue was prepared to treat her to a meal at the Empire Group.

Right after that, Wang Dongxue also sent him a text message saying, "Young Master, Young Madam over here are getting started soon, so you might be quite busy for a while. Please don't mind."

Ye Chen wasn't one to get emotional about it; he knew what was important. So he replied, "Make sure the company takes care of the dining arrangements and doesn't serve her takeout."

Wang Dongxue immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll arrange for the company's executive dining hall to provide the best dinner for Young Madam."

"Good job,"

Since his wife wouldn't be coming home for dinner, Ye Chen didn't fuss too much about it and just picked up some ingredients, then went back home to make a simple meal for his grandfather and grandmother.

After eating, Old Granny and Grandpa went out to dance at the square. Ye Chen stayed home, still thinking about some profound contents in the "Nine Heavens Scripture". Suddenly, he received a call from Wang Daokun.

Ye Chen didn't want to answer his call; that kid was really a bit possessed, always messing with him and getting angry. But since he pitied him, Ye Chen decided to pick up the phone and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

On the other end of the line, Wang Daokun sniffled and said, "Ye Chen, good brother, sorry! I was wrong about you!" Ye Chen heard him crying and felt a bit sympathetic, asking, "Do you know what really happened?"

Wang Daokun cried and said, "After you finished telling me everything, I started to feel it wasn't right. Then I found a villa district through her Apple phone's location, and eventually, I knocked on the door and caught someone in the act. The guy and his driver/guard beat me up badly, then took me to the hospital..."

As Wang Daokun broke down crying, "Ye Chen, my eyes are blind! I wronged you! Please don't hold a grudge against me. You're my only good friend. If you also turn on me, I'll be left with nothing in Jinling......"

Ye Chen sighed and said, "I won't scold you. Where are you now?"

"I'm at People's Hospital." Wang Daokun said, "My leg was broken by him using a baseball bat. The doctor says I won't be able to get out of bed for a while. Can you help me pawn the painting you gave me when I went out to catch someone in the act? My money is all spent at the hotel, and now I have no cash to treat my illness......"

As soon as Ye Chen heard this, he immediately asked, "Did those people who hurt you pay for your medical expenses?" JrNovels.com
