Chapter: 6427

In the afternoon, Ye Chen was preparing to leave for Professor Hua's home for dinner when he suddenly received a phone call from Hua Yuan Jiang.

On the phone, Hua Yuan Jiang sounded apologetic and said: "Ye Chen, I'm really sorry. Paul's uncle has unexpectedly come from America, so our dinner gathering might have to be canceled tonight."

Ye Chen didn't think much about it and laughed, saying: "No problem, just take care of what you need to do at home. Just make sure to send me the schedule for tomorrow by then, so I can prepare in advance."

"Okay." Hua Yuan Jiang let out a sigh and quickly said: "Thank you for understanding! I'll arrange the schedule and send it to you right away!"

Someone was able to cure him

Because Hua Yuan Jiang and Han Mei Qing are both second-time husbands, and both have lived overseas for many years, so this time's wedding process will be streamlined compared to local customs in Huaxia.

There were no traditional processes like welcoming guests or sending off the bride, just direct reception at the hotel, followed by a ceremony at the auspicious hour.

The number of invited guests wasn't many, excluding the children and close friends of both parties, as well as Hua Yuan Jiang's few colleagues from Jinling Finance College.

Ye Chen's work content as the witness wasn't much, mainly just doing the job of a host.

So, Ye Chen left early in the morning, wearing a Western-style suit to go to Bai Jin Hall.

He brought a Western-style suit instead of going directly because he didn't want his wife Xu Chun Ran to know he was attending Han Mei Qing's wedding.

Arriving at Bai Jin Hall's aerial garden, it wasn't yet time for guests to arrive, and Hua Yuan Jiang was busy with the staff here.

When he saw Ye Chen, he approached him and said, "Ye Chen, you've worked hard. You came so early."

Ye Chen saw that he looked a bit worn out, so he asked concerningly, "Hua Uncle, didn't you get enough rest last night?"

He nodded and sighed, saying, "Paul's uncle was causing trouble at home last night. He kept me and your aunt up all night."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "Why did Paul's uncle fly from America to this critical moment? What's he arguing with you about?"

He said, "He wants to split the business of Smith Law Firm in America away from Paul. In other words, he came to divide the family assets."

Ye Chen furrowed his brow and asked, "Since Smith Law Firm was established by Paul's father and your aunt with their own hands, what qualification does Paul's uncle have to divide it?"

He sighed and said, "The logic is there, but back then, Paul's grandfather had invested in the initial capital and used some connections to help them. He felt this was a kind of angel investment. Now that Paul has left America, he feels that Paul can't take the entire Smith Law Firm with him, so he thinks it's necessary to cut off the American part and return it to the Smith family."

Ye Chen asked curiously, "What is the main business of the Smith family? Is it not in decline now?"

He said, "I heard from your aunt that the Stevens family is a family of lawyers. Paul's grandfather was a renowned lawyer who didn't start his own business but became a high-level partner at a top law firm in America and later became a private lawyer for some prominent figures. Paul's uncle followed the same path, although his father passed away a few years ago."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "I think he wants to squeeze out some benefits from your aunt and Paul. People like him don't need too much attention. Since he's already arrived at this critical moment, I'll invite him to join our wedding ceremony. After the ceremony, we'll leave for a honeymoon. He can go wherever he wants or do whatever he likes; it doesn't matter."

He nodded and said, "I'm thinking of taking your aunt along with me, but if he insists on staying, Paul will likely get annoyed, and this time he won't be easily sent away."

Ye Chen laughed and said, "Don't worry, Uncle He. This is Fuling, not America. Even Stevens, the famous one, has to be polite when visiting us. Besides, he's just an ordinary person; don't worry about it. If he dares to cause trouble, let him eat his own bitter fruit."

As he was speaking, Ye Chen asked him, "Have you invited him and Aunt Han to join us at the wedding?" JrNovels.com
