Chapter: 3211

Xu Changkan sighed: "Mom, I've been eating, drinking, pooping, sleeping in bed since the New Year's Day. Every day is a different date according to the solar calendar, lunar calendar, and week. I don't know anything about it."

Xu Hairen nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Xiao muttered to herself: "Today is the second of the second month on the lunar calendar. The Dragon has come out, but I forgot what birthday it is for. Xu Changguan, that unfilial son, was born in winter, and Xu Chaoren, that dead girl, was born in summer..."

Xu Hairen suddenly remembered something and spoke up: "February 2nd, the Dragon has come out... today seems to be Ye Chen's birthday!"

Mrs. Xiao raised an eyebrow and asked: "Are you sure?"

"Yes! I remember when we just got out of the new year, I went to get a haircut at the barber shop. Right next to the barber shop was a small restaurant where Ye Chen and Xu Chaoren were having lunch. There was a small cake on the table, and it was Ye Chen's birthday, so Xu Chaoren must have given him a birthday present. And that cake was really cheap, no plate or anything..."

As soon as Mrs. Xiao heard this, she suddenly felt her mood brighten up and said with a smile: "Ah, it turns out today is indeed Ye Chen's birthday! I didn't expect him to be so quick about it!"

Xiao Hai Long asked with a puzzled expression: "Grandma, what's going on? Why are you saying this?"

Mrs. Xiao scowled and said: "Before the new year, many people came to Ye Chen's door to give him gifts in line. You see, just after the new year, he had his birthday without anyone coming to congratulate him. This proves that he's no longer well-connected, and those with wealth and influence don't think much of him anymore!"

Xiao Hai Long asked unwittingly: "Grandma, can you infer from this point alone that Ye Chen is no longer well?"

Mrs. Xiao said sternly: "There's a saying called 'one leaf knows autumn'. As long as I see one leaf fall, it means autumn has arrived, and if autumn has arrived, will winter be far behind?"

As she spoke, her face turned grave and contemplative, analyzing: "You think about it, if Ye Chen is still doing well now, his front door would definitely be surrounded by those with wealth. There's a saying that describes this as 'the gate of the mansion is like a vegetable market', meaning someone is at their peak moment when their front door is busier than the market!"

"But look, today is Ye Chen's birthday, and for those who want to curry favor with him, this is a much bigger deal than the new year. They haven't seen anyone come to his door so far, and instead reflect another saying that means 'the gate is like a trap'!"

"From just this one signal, I can confidently judge that Ye Chen has definitely messed up everything, even worse! Almost ready to collapse!"

Shao Lao Tai Tai's expression floated up with a few tenths of satisfaction: "Their family has been doing well over the past year or so, all thanks to Ye Chen's outside efforts! Those qigong masters and esoteric masters who have made fortunes from wealthy clients are nothing special. But no one has had a good ending! I think Ye Chen will also meet his end!"

Shao Hai Long's body was agitated with excitement, saying: "If Ye Chen really gets thundered out, it's likely that their whole family will follow suit soon! Maybe in just a few days, Wang Zhenggang will come to reclaim this villa!"

The one lying beside him, Shao Chang Qian, suddenly got excited and said: "Oh no, if it's really like that, it'll be a reversal of fortunes! It would be best for Ye Chen to get thundered out quickly, then they'll have nowhere to go, ending up on the streets. Then we can laugh at their predicament!"

He couldn't help but say with a sense of pride: "The rivers flow in different directions after thirty years! They definitely won't think about it, that our family has actually managed to escape retribution and is now enjoying good fortune thanks to the support of VIPs, managing the largest etiquette company in Jinling. Our future will only get better from here!"

As he spoke, Shao Lao Tai Tai smiled mockingly and said: "If we're talking about my granddaughter Violet, she's really a force to be reckoned with! She started from scratch and built an etiquette company that's the top one in the city. That alone is more than you two old folks can imagine!"

Speaking of this, Shao Lao Tai Tai looked at the two men, furious: "You two are truly a pair of useless trash! You're so pathetic that even I have to take care of your needs like feeding and bathing you! It's really absurd!"

They had been working for the Xu family group for so many years, and basically didn't create any significant achievements. The foundation of the Xu family group was laid by Xu Lao Tai Yezi, who got rid of the assets from the Xiao family and spent half his life building it up again after giving up the ghost. Since then, the wealth has been shrinking nonstop until bankruptcy.

At this moment, Xu Lao Tai Yezi saw that her son and daughter-in-law weren't talking anymore, shook her head in dismay, and sighed: "I don't know what kind of background Violet's VIP is from. It seems like they're really powerful and directly took over the company from its original owner. Then Violet took charge of it! And that previous owner wasn't even willing to put up a fight; he just went happily to KTV to become a turtle king! If you can kill someone, you can also destroy their reputation. You two just say how big their power is!"

"Yes!" Xu Chang Gan couldn't help but sigh: "I heard that Violet's previous owner was a socialite with some influence, and yet they got completely cleaned up by a few words. I think the VIP must recognize some big shots in Jinling; maybe it's even a young master from one of the major clans!"

Xu Lao Tai Yezi opened her mouth: "If Violet can get along well with that VIP, our family would be lacking nothing now."

Xu Chang Gan lightly nodded his head and said: "I think Violet always has a glimmer in her eyes when she talks about that VIP; maybe she's already secretly harboring feelings for them." JrNovels.com
