Chapter: 5152

"Additionally, I had previously arranged for Chen Zheqian to prepare a luxurious villa in Jinling for you, Xīfēn, and Claudy. This villa will be yours to use after we leave; if Xīfēn and Claudy get married in the future, this will become their maternal home.'"

Lǐ Auntie hastened to say, "No need to do so, young master! You and the Yè family have already given me too much kindness. How can I possibly take your villa away from you? Just leave a room for us at the welfare institution and it's fine...}"

Yè Chén spoke sincerely, "Lǐ Auntie, times are different now. Today's Yè Chén is no longer that brother who worked three jobs to support the orphans at the welfare institution every day. In the past, I earned 2-3 thousand yuan a month and could give all my money away. Now that I've inherited the Yè family estate and started my own business, it's not like I'm working for food and milk money anymore. You don't need to refuse anymore...}"

As he spoke, Yè Chén added, "And besides, Lǐ Auntie, you have taken care of me for so many years, making me your beneficiary. Now that I've returned to Jinling to work again, I won't let you down and make others talk behind my back if I don't provide a proper settling place for you...}"

Lǐ Auntie sighed deeply and said sincerely, "Young master, it's really just that I did what was right in my position all these years. I never dared to call myself an benefactor...}"

Yè Chén spoke firmly, "Lǐ Auntie, to me, you are a benefactor."

As he continued, Yè Chén deliberately changed the subject and said, "Oh, Lǐ Auntie, would you please have Xīfēn and Claudy start packing their bags? Take whatever you need or want; I've arranged for Hóng Wǔ to fly to Vancouver tomorrow morning to pick up people to take you home...}"

Lǐ Auntie hastened to say, "Young master, there's no need to go through so much trouble. The three of us will just go to the airport ourselves..."

Yè Chén spoke firmly, "Lǐ Auntie, don't worry too much about this, Hong Wu will take care of it. We'll meet at the New York airport tomorrow and take the same flight back to Jinling together. After we land in New York, we can board the plane and meet you without needing to go through customs again."

Lǐ Auntie listened to Yè Chén's determined tone and could only agree, saying respectfully, "Alright then, young master has arranged everything."

"Not at all," Yè Chén smiled slightly and continued, "Lǐ Auntie, see you tomorrow!"

...

By 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Yè Chén, dressed in a suit, and Xīo Chū Rán, wearing a white evening gown, arrived together at the Rhode Island School of Design.

It was summer vacation time for American university students, so the campus was empty except for some teachers walking around, even some well-known designers in the field.

The Rhode Island School of Design placed great emphasis on its annual masterclass, so it specifically used the school's grand auditorium to hold the graduation ceremony.

When Yè Chén and Xīo Chū Rán arrived at the auditorium, the hall was already buzzing with people.

Many design teachers attending the masterclass had invited their friends and family, even old bosses, mentors, and partners from their design field to join in.

It's actually a salon for industry elites to show off their status and connections, rather than just a graduation ceremony.

Compared to this, Xiao Churán, with her old husband accompanying her and lacking any professional background, seemed out of place here.

When signing in, Xiao Churán found a inconspicuous corner on the large sign-in board and wrote down her name.

Just as she handed over the pen to the ceremony hostess, a woman from the East Asian region walked up beside her, writing a large English signature next to Xiao Churán's name: Emily Wang.

It seems that Emily Wang is an ethnic Chinese person.

However, what annoyed Ye Chen was that Emily Wang exaggeratedly wrote out her own name with extra-large letters, even drawing an arc over the last letter G. She even painted over Xiao Churán's already signed name.

Xiao Churán saw her own signature being drawn over and blinked slightly, but didn't say anything. Meanwhile, Emily Wang was looking at Xiao Churán with a surprised expression, smiling and saying, "Ah, Xiao Rán, I just didn't see you come in. When did you arrive?" JrNovels.com
