Chapter: 2765

Xiu Changkun wrinkled his face in disdain, scowling, "I think that kid has a crush on you, Han Auntie!"

Ye Chen casually replied, "Han Auntie is so excellent; it's no surprise if many men have a crush on her."

Xiu Changkun grew more agitated and said, "The key thing is, that kid seems really exceptional too! He's a professor at MIT; just having that title alone is already intimidating. Who knows, he might become my greatest competitor!"

As he spoke, his teeth clenched in anger, he cursed, "What the heck? You're saying this overseas son-in-law, since they've all gone out, why can't they stay abroad and not come back to cause trouble?"

Ye Chen didn't take it seriously, smiling and said, "A small one leaves home to return when grown; a Chinese person's ultimate hope is to one day return to their roots. Additionally, someone who returns to the country as a professor would be making contributions to the nation, at least able to cultivate talents for their homeland."

Xiu Changkun grew even more annoyed and said, "That kid isn't worth much anyway! Especially since he's from America! You, Han Auntie, have lived in America for many years too; I'm sure you both have a lot in common. But me? I've never even seen the inside of an American house!"

As soon as he thought about not having gone to America, Xiu Changkun couldn't help but harbor resentment towards Ma Ran in his heart.

He sat in the passenger seat, scowling and muttering to himself: "I've been ruined by that stinky woman all my life. If it weren't for her, I'd probably be a high-achieving scholar studying abroad, maybe even a professor at MIT or Harvard!"

As he spoke, he grew increasingly indignant and complained: "And the result is? The result is that just after graduating from college, I was thoroughly tied down by Ma Ran's garbage stock, and now I've been stuck here for so long without being able to break free!"

Ye Chen couldn't help but console him: "Okay, Dad, you can't just think about the most optimistic outcome. You're still healthy physically, at least. Change your perspective and think about this: if you were destined to meet a car accident or get killed in a shootout while in America, wouldn't Mom have saved your life by keeping you here?"

Xiu Changkun looked sulky and said: "Don't try to hoodwink me with this nonsense. We young people back then studied materialism and Marxist theory, didn't believe in fate, and sang songs like 'There's no savior, no reliance on gods or emperors' during the Soviet revolution."

Ye Chen sighed and said: "Dad, shall we talk about He Yuanjiang instead?"

Xiu Changkun wrapped his arms around himself, exasperated: "What's so great about him? Just because he has a higher education level and looks more dashing, taller, and younger than me? Besides that, what makes him stronger than me?"

Ye Chen awkwardly said: "That's taking up all the space inside and outside."

Xiu Changkun massaged his temples: "Ugh... my head is really hurting. Hey, Ye Chen, does he have a wife and kids?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and replied seriously: "I think someone who goes out for a run at midnight probably doesn't have a wife. However, since he's 55 years old, I think he must have had more than one past marriage history. Right now, he should be in a single status."

"Oh no!" Xiu Changkun said in despair: "As soon as I saw him giving you Aunt Khan that look, I felt something was off. This guy must like you Aunt Khan, and they're both single, working at an old age university, having many years of US life experience, and both love exercising and training - it's just meant to be together, nothing for me to worry about!"

He went on complaining: "You say he's a professor from MIT, running off to teach at Jinling University of Finance and Economics? That's crazy isn't it?"

Ye Chen nodded and smiled: "Still, he's an economics management professor from MIT with high prestige."

Xiu Changkun asked curiously: "Do you know about MIT?"

"A little bit," Ye Chen said seriously: "MIT is indeed the world's top-ranked university. Although MIT is strong in many fields such as engineering, aerospace, and electronics, I think Stanford and Harvard are better in economics management."

Xiu Changkun asked curiously again: "How do you know so much? I remember you only studied for a year in college."

Ye Chen replied casually: "Well, I haven't eaten pork, have we seen pigs run around?"

In reality, Ye Chen had been fascinated with US universities since he was very young.

It wasn't that he himself was eager to go to the US; it was his mother who grew up in the US and graduated from Stanford University. JrNovels.com
