Chapter: 5877

"As he finished speaking, he looked at Hong Wu and said, 'Hong Wu, you've been with me for a long time. After Old Chen becomes the head of the Ye family, the entire Jinling region will be your responsibility.'"

"Hong Wu was thrilled and quickly bowed to say, 'I'm willing! I'll do my best like General Chen, but if my abilities are insufficient, please don't force me!'"

"'Alright!'"

"Ye Chen slightly nodded and said, 'You two get ready. Old Chen will hand over the Jinling work to Hong Wu first, then go to Yanjing quickly. I'll notify Grandpa ahead of time, and when the time comes, let Grandpa help you take office.'"

"But that means you'll have to suffer through staying in Yanjing for a period of time first, organizing Tang Four Seas' affairs clearly before taking some tasks back to Jinling to handle while also continuing to stay here to learn martial arts.'"

"'Thank you, young master! As a subordinate, I will definitely practice martial arts under the condition that all work is completed perfectly!'"

"Good. Ye Chen smiled and said, 'You two hurry up and hand over your work, I'll head back to Tang Four Seas for now!'"

Leaving the spa villa at Xiangxe Li, Ye Chen immediately rushed back to Tang Four Seas, intending to simply tidy up some luggage and inform Grandpa Shou Changkun and his mother-in-law, Ma Lian, that he would be leaving late tonight to go out of town to consult with another client.

The couple knew that Ye Chen spent the whole day running around, so they were not surprised when they heard this news.

What Ye Chen didn't expect was that his mother-in-law, Ma Lian, would suddenly take an interest in him. With a worried look on her face, she said, "Good son-in-law, you've been busy all day and haven't rested for days. What if you exhaust your body?"

Suddenly being concerned about by his mother-in-law, Ye Chen also felt rather touched and laughed, saying, "Mom, don't worry. Although I'm always on the move, I'm actually not tired at all."

Shou Changkun looked at Ma Lian and snickered, "You know what, good son-in-law? He's a Feng Shui master now. Don't look at him as if he's just running around outside. The people who ask for his help are big shots and celebrities. They treat the Feng Shui master with more respect than their own father, and they're all very concerned about your daily life, including food and lodging. Absolutely won't let good son-in-law suffer or exhaust himself. Even if it's far away, they'll send a sedan chair to bring him over!"

Ma Lian thought for a moment, then looked at Ye Chen with a smile, saying, "It's still my amazing son-in-law! The rich will all beg me to spend money on him!"

She smiled and said, "Good son-in-law, let's discuss something with you then?" Ye Chen saw Ma Lian's expression and knew that Ma Lian must have a request for him, which was why she had been taking care to show concern for his well-being today.

So he asked, "Mom, what is it? Please say."

Ma Lian hesitated before saying, "Well, mom has been a bit strapped for cash recently. Since you're leaving again and going far away, I'm worried that if something happens, there won't be enough money to bother with. So, my intention is that before you leave, could you please give me some extra money?"

Shou Changkun gave Ma Lian a disdainful look and said, "Ma Lian, I know you're always scheming. This time, you're asking Ye Chen for money again!"

Ma Lian was furious and scolded, "Shou Changkun! Why do you need to ask about my money? It's none of your business! You just keep opening your mouth and spewing nonsense!"

Shou Changkun grew more agitated, saying, "I have a job at the Calligraphy Association. My monthly salary plus allowance is around 10-20 thousand yuan!"

Ma Lian shouted back, "Pshaw! Don't talk about that stuff anymore! If it weren't for Ye Chen's good reputation, you would have been kicked out long ago!"

Shou Changkun's face turned bright red as he tried to defend himself.

Ma Lian huffed and puffed, saying, "He won't find any trouble if I don't bother with him!"

Ye Chen nodded slightly, knowing Ma Lian's character. When he had money, he would cause trouble; when he didn't have money, he would still cause trouble. But at least, when he had money, he wouldn't be able to cause trouble for others. He was content to spend a little bit of money and live simply.

So, he opened his mouth freely and said, "Mom, this is not a big deal. I'll put 10 million in your account, so you can use it as you like."

Ma Lian's eyes widened upon hearing this, and her voice trembled as she asked, "Good son-in-law! Are you really telling the truth?! You're going to give my mom 10 million?!" JrNovels.com
