Chapter: 2175

Xiao Changkun sighed: "We originally had good days, but now we have to make do with it being one long day of no rest. And to think that my dad built all those family businesses, which are now completely ruined by them."

Ma Lan raised an eyebrow: "They ruined our family business, and it doesn't matter to us at all. As long as they don't come crying to us, that's fine!"

Xiao Changkun nodded complexly, not speaking again.

The three of them had finished breakfast when Dong Ruolin and Kong Delong arrived.

The two brought large packages of gifts and knocked on the door, with Dong Ruolin enthusiastically greeting Xiao Changkun and Ma Lan: "Happy New Year, Uncle and Aunt! I came early to wish you both a Happy New Year!"

She finished speaking and looked at Xiao Yuanning and Ye Chen: "Yuanning, Mr. Chen, Happy New Year!"

Xiao Yuanning and Ye Chen spoke in unison: "Happy New Year."

Kong Delong followed Dong Ruolin, chirping like a little chick, and saw Ye Chen, becoming even more flustered.

Dong Ruolin pointed to the Kong beside her and opened her mouth: "This is my cousin, Kong Delong. Cousin, hurry up and greet everyone!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kong Delong quickly spoke nervously: "Happy New Year, Uncle and Aunt, Miss Xiao, Mr. Ye."

He finished speaking and executed a 90-degree bow.

Ma Ran was utterly flabbergasted.

Although she didn't recognize Kong Delong, she had heard about him and knew that Dong Ruolin's aunt had married into the Yanjing Kong family, and that the Kong family was equally a remarkable one.

However, she couldn't imagine that as the young master of the Kong family, he would be so polite and courteous, to the point where it seemed excessive, with her thinking inwardly: "What's going on? Is this really the education they give their children in the Kong household? The young master comes to visit us here in our humble little home and immediately bows down at a 90-degree angle? That's too pretentious!"

She had no idea that Kong Delong was originally one of those arrogant types from the second generation, but he had become as gentle as a dove because of his fear of Ye Chen.

Kong Delong rode his bike all the way from Yanjing to Jinling, and Ye Chen had instructed him to arrive within 15 days, but he used up almost 20 days.

So, he was worried in his heart that Ye Chen would reprimand him, or worse, be displeased with him, causing him to stay in Jinling for another year, which would drive him crazy

She had no idea how Kong Delong was apologizing to Ye Chen again? Did they even know each other?

Ye Chen saw that everyone at home looked astonished, so he quickly thought on his feet and smiled slightly: "Kong Young Master, you're too polite. Since I've invited you to eat, regardless of whether you arrive early or late, I'll still fulfill my promise."

Kong Delong was taken aback for a moment, not understanding why Ye Chen was being so polite all of a sudden.

Then he realized that he might have said something wrong.

Ye Chen probably didn't want his family to know about their contradictions.

So, he hurriedly continued talking: "Since it's like that, I'll thank you in advance, Mr. Ye. Let's schedule another time for next year."

Ye Chen nodded and smiled at Shao Ru and his father-in-law, saying: "When I went to Yanjing to look at the feng shui for others, I coincidentally visited Miss Dong to pay my respects. At the birthday party, I got to know Kong Young Master, who told me he would be coming to Jinling, so I said I'd wait until then and invite him to eat."

Kong Delong also nodded hastily: "Yes, I didn't expect that I delayed a few days on the way here and directly fell behind schedule." JrNovels.com
