Chapter: 6273

Ma'er asked indignantly: "Xiaochang Kung, is there no way at all? You have to go to that ruined painting association today isn't it? If you say you must go, well I'll go with you. You're not the vice president of the association, about to become the president soon? As the wife of the current vice president and future president, going to the association with you won't be a problem at all?"

Xiaochang Kung heard Ma'er say she was going to the painting association and suddenly his liver trembled in fright. He didn't want Ma'er, this kind of woman, to accompany him to the association and give him face, so he turned back around, not wanting others to gossip about him behind his back, saying how he had found such a woman as his daughter-in-law, and his face would be ruined.

Thinking about this, he could only say with resignation: "Alright then, I won't go. Won't going will do? We three just sit at home staring blankly, wait until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, then we'll all go to the airport together, that's not a problem at all."

Ma'er questioned him: "What's wrong? Can't you just take me to your place and it would be that hard? I don't have a hand free?"

Xiaochang Kung was taken aback and blurted out: "Oh, you're always finding fault! Is there no end to it? You're the one who wants me to stay at home, and yet you're not satisfied even when I do?"

Ma'er asked coldly: "What kind of attitude is this? Are you getting impatient with me? Oh, are you going to become president now, but not when I was riding on your back as a child, so now you can't even look at me straight? So I'm dragging you down, huh?"

Xiaochang Kung awkwardly defended himself: "I didn't mean that. This is all your own words."

Ma'er questioned: "So what did you mean then?"

Xiaochang Kung stammered and said: "I didn't mean anything! I just told you, I won't go to the association hall today, I'll stay at home and wait for you to pick me up."

Ma'er laughed coldly and said: "Oh, so now you feel like there's nothing to it? You're planning to do whatever you want?"

Xiaochang Kung faced Ma'er's crazed output, his whole person almost in tears, hastily explaining: "I... I didn't say anything..."

Ma'er looked at Yè Chén, speaking with a mixture of sadness and anger: "Good son-in-law, come judge me. Have I had any good days with Xiaochang Kung all these years? Now he's feeling powerful, wanting to become president, thinking that I'm an embarrassment to him as his wife, isn't this just like the case of Chen Shi Mei?"

Xiaochang Kung was so flustered, Yè Chén couldn't handle it at all, and quickly said: "Mom, I have some urgent business to attend to. So why don't you rest with Dad for a bit? I'll go take care of things first, then head straight to the airport when I'm done, meet up with Dad at 4 o'clock to pick up Ma'er together."

Saying that, Yè Chén had already quickened his pace to the front door.

Xiaochang Kung saw Yè Chén was about to leave and became flustered, hastily saying: "Good son-in-law, don't go just yet! Stay with us for a bit!"

"No way, Dad. I really do have urgent business." Yè Chén said that, changing his shoes while turning back around to say: "Oh yeah, don't make dinner tonight, let's eat out instead! That's settled, see you at the airport at 4 o'clock!"

As for Ma'er and Xiaochang Kung's weirdness, Yè Chén had already seen it coming, but to truly immerse himself in the whirlpool's center, his senses still felt quite uncomfortable, even inducing physical discomfort.

So, at this moment, leaving quickly was the best choice for him.

Yè Chén left home and suddenly felt like he had nowhere to go; going to Xiangxi Road was also farther away, taking up too much time on both ends.

At a loss as to what to do, Yè Chén suddenly thought of Lin Wan'er out of the blue and decided to give her a call.

The phone connected, Lin Wan'er curiously asked: "Young master, why did you give us a call just before dinner? Aren't you inviting us to eat?"

"Ah, I don't have any lunch plans either," Yè Chén said with a smile. "Since you've already offered, why not come over and have some lunch together? The weather's chilly today, and I'm preparing to roast something in the courtyard. If you come, I'll let my maid prepare an extra set of utensils and add some ingredients."

"Alright!" Yè Chén said without hesitation. "I can also return your sister-in-law's car as it happens. I'll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, Yè Chén got into the Ferrari that had left Purple Gold Mountain Villa and drove away from Tomson's.

When he arrived at Lin Wan'er's small courtyard, the maid was just about to leave with the ingredients, saw Yè Chén, and greeted him respectfully, saying, "Good day, Mr. Yè." JrNovels.com
