Chapter: 6219

Ye Chen shook his head saying, "I live on a different floor."

As he spoke, he pressed the button for the next level in the elevator.

The woman nodded slightly and smiled, saying, "I thought you two were a couple, you look so well-suited together."

Mian Mian blushed and said, "No, no... we're just ordinary friends..."

The woman nodded again, without further teasing.

The elevator quickly reached the ground floor, where Ye Chen bid farewell to the two of them and stepped out of the elevator, walking back to the villa district.

At this moment, he couldn't even dream about it, that the woman who had just been in the elevator with him was actually his mother's subordinate, and the reason she came back a step ahead of him was all part of the plan.

Cheng Qing worried about Ye Chen's many thoughts, so she deliberately let him have an opportunity to appear once in front of Ye Chen, allowing Ye Chen to confirm that she is just an ordinary person who doesn't understand martial arts or spiritual energy.

It was to calculate time that this woman got ahead of him, all in an effort to further reduce the possibility of being suspected.

After all, humans are subjective animals. If someone follows closely behind another person and they end up at the same place, people will suspect that they're being tailed. But it's different when it happens the other way around - the suspicion is significantly reduced.

An Chengqi intervened in Mianmian's cultivation to prevent Ye Chen from noticing anything unusual. She had to eliminate all of Ye Chen's doubts, or else with Ye Chen's character, he would definitely investigate further and not rest until he got to the bottom of it.

A few minutes later, Ye Chen returned to the villa district of Tangchen.

At this time, inside the villa, Ma Ran and Shu Changkun were watching TV on the first floor living room.

They said they were watching TV, but in reality, both of them were lounging on the couch, each busy brushing their own phone.

Shu Yiran had been away in America for a long time, and Ye Chen was out for several days. This couple who started off with daily bickering had gradually become tired and worn out, eventually transforming into the most familiar strangers. Although they lived under the same roof, there was almost no exchange between them.

Ye Chen pushed open the door and both of them subconsciously stood up from the couch, looking at Ye Chen in surprise, their voices echoing in unison: "Good son-in-law is back!"

After that, the two people looked at each other with a hint of disdain, as if they were all feeling dejected about the recent tacit understanding.

Shu Changkun was just about to take a step forward and say something to Ye Chen when Ma Ran had already limped over to him, her butt moving deliberately to one side, pushing Shu Changkun off balance. The whole person suddenly lost his center of gravity, waving their arms for half a day without being able to regain their balance, and could only stumble back and sit down on the couch once again.

Shu Changkun's face turned red with irritation as he looked up again. Ma Ran had already reached Ye Chen, her face full of flattery as she said, "Oh, good son-in-law! How did you get back at this time? Didn't you even give your mom a heads-up before coming back, let alone eat something? Do you want Mom to prepare some food for you?"

Ye Chen smiled and replied, "No need to bother, Mom. I've eaten already."

Shu Changkun quickly got up and hurried over, opening his mouth to say, "Good son-in-law! What happened this time that you've been gone so many days?"

Ye Chen laughed and said, "This time the workload was bigger, and I had to take a look at several properties and factories. The main reason is that this client has great strength."

"Wow!" Ma Ran exclaimed, her face filled with joy. "A client with such strength must give you a lot of money!"

"That's right," Ye Chen nodded, adding casually, "This client gives me tips especially generously, and even gave me an extra one hundred thousand yuan as compensation before I left."

Ma Ran was shocked and cried out, "Oh my goodness! One hundred thousand just for car expenses? This is what you call a god-like client!" JrNovels.com
