Chapter: 3217
At this moment, Old Lady Xiaoxi was both panicked and frightened, deeply aware that "I just talked to Ye Chen with a tone that was a bit too arrogant, without asking, I knew Ye Chen would definitely be very angry...... will he get rid of Weiwei from Shangmeili Ceremonial Company because of my provocation?!" Our family of four's hope is now entirely in her hands... if Weiwei loses her job, then we'll have to go back to our original state... I'll have to go to the supermarket to bag groceries for customers again!"
As soon as she thought about the consequences of offending Ye Chen, Old Lady Xiaoxi was extremely worried and immediately changed her expression to be very flattering and apologetic, lamenting with a mixture of guilt and sorrow: "Oh...... Ye Chen...... it's all because Grandma has no eyes or wisdom, Grandma never expected that you would take revenge and help Weiwei and our family so much..."
She choked back tears as she said this: "You took revenge and helped us, but I, this old lady, was so ungrateful that I came to scold you on your birthday... my eyes are really blind...... please don't hold a grudge against Grandma, considering her already advanced age, just let's not have any more conflicts, okay?"
Ye Chen watched Old Lady Xiaoxi's sudden change in demeanor and couldn't help but sigh: "This old lady has no other skills, but she is indeed very good at acting... she can switch between joy, anger, and sorrow in an instant, even better than a seasoned actor! If she could put her thoughts into something more meaningful, the Xio family group wouldn't have ended up like this..."
However, Old Lady Xiaoxi was already quite old, and Ye Chen didn't want to completely dismiss or coldly reject her. Since she had softened, he would naturally give her a way out.
So, he just said calmly: "Alright, no need for another thousand words... you're an elderly grandma, I don't want to have any more conflicts with you... from now on, remember that the water of the well and the river don't mix... you and your family should not come bothering us again with any trouble or discomfort, otherwise..."
Old Lady Xiaoxi heard this and suddenly let out a sigh.
At this point, she finally realized that her family's life was basically secured by Ye Chen, if she didn't change her ways, she would probably have to starve and beg on the streets.
So, she hastily nodded her head like a little chick pecking at rice, repeatedly assuring him: "Ye Chen, you have nothing to worry about, grandma will never bother you again with any discomfort!"
As she said this, she at least smiled sweetly and said: "Ye Chen, we're family after all. We just had some misunderstandings earlier. As long as we clear things up, we'll still be a loving family. You're my grandson-in-law, initially my daughter-in-law, and Chang Kun and Ma Ran are my son and daughter-in-law. We're actually very close relatives!"
At this point, Old Lady Xiaoxi's face was stuffed with wrinkles from smiling so much, her tone slightly low-key: "You see, grandma has already made amends, apologized, and we've both had enough of a good time. It's high time for us to reconcile like nothing ever happened. And today is your birthday, after all, let's get together and have dinner, finally put the past behind us. What do you think?"
Ye Chen listened to her words, his face coldly smiling: "No need to reconcile or not. I don't want to have any more dealings with you. My family feels the same way, so you shouldn't even try to play this game again."
As he spoke, Ye Chen made sure to thoroughly eliminate Old Lady Xiaoxi's thoughts and warned her sternly: "Today's events and me entrusting Shang Mei Li to Vivian, if you dare to reveal anything to Chang Ran or my parents-in-law, I'll take everything back!"
Old Lady Xiaoxi listened to this and suddenly felt a knot in her heart.
She knew that Ye Chen had caught on to her intentions.
To Old Lady Xiaoxi, she realized after knowing that Ye Chen was Vivian's benefactor: "Ye Chen doesn't just lack explosive power but also has abilities and influence far beyond my recognition. After realizing this point, Old Lady Xiaoxi began to think of taking advantage of the situation and repairing her relationship with Ye Chen's family. This way, she would definitely get more benefits in the future than now."
But she didn't expect that her own thoughts would be caught by Ye Chen's one glance, and not only did he refuse her, but even blocked her from finding Xu Huan, Xu Changkun, or Ma Ranqiu to salvage the country.
At this moment, she had a thousand regrets inside: "Ah! If I knew Ye Chen was so capable, why did I spend so much time targeting him and his whole family in the first place? Now they're all offended, and it seems like there won't be any opportunities to repair relationships in the future......"
Ye Chen saw Old Lady Xiaoxi's strange expression, remained silent for a moment, then asked: "Did you understand what I just said?"
"Understood......" Old Lady Xiaoxi dared not defy Ye Chen, after all, Xu Weiwei's job was now to ensure the survival of her whole family, and if she offended Ye Chen, there would be no good ending.
So she could only reluctantly nod her head and say: "Okay...... I know."
Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction, then opened his mouth and said: "You understand. Remember what I just said, and from now on, keep the water and fire separate!"
After that, he looked at Xu Weiwei and said: "Take her back home."
Xu Weiwei lightly nodded her head, obediently saying: "Okay, brother-in-law, I'll take Granny back home right away."
Subsequently, she gently took Old Lady Xiaoxi's arm, opening her mouth to say: "Granny, let's go home." JrNovels.com
