Chapter: 708

Ye Chen bid farewell to Chen Zekai and Hong Wu and got into his father's luxurious BMW, then left Tangchen One.

Just as they were leaving Tangchen One, Ma Ran burst into tears, saying, "Today has really been a disaster! I lost two hundred thousand dollars, all gone! And it was only six thousand less than the original amount...and I even lost the jade necklace..."

Ma Ran thought about it and felt more and more pained, looking at Ye Chen with resentment and anger, shouting, "It's all your fault! You said you're not worried, why did you let them donate to Hope Engineering? Why didn't you let them give me back my money?"

Ye Chen spoke calmly, saying, "Mom, if you had taken their money and the police found out that they lost it before going missing, even jumping into the Yellow River wouldn't be able to wash your hands clean...in the end, Dad and Initial might find out too..."

Just as Ma Ran heard this, she was startled and said: "This matter absolutely can't be told to your father and Initial! Have you heard?!"

Ma Ran herself knew that if this matter got out, she would also be considered a gambler. If her husband and daughter found out that she was gambling so big outside, they would probably be extremely furious.

In that case, she wouldn't have a good time either.

Although the money is gone now, those people are even worse off - one by one, they're being sent to dig coal in the black coal mines. It's impossible for them to get out within 10-20 years, which is far more miserable than hers.

So, compared to this, she didn't think she was too miserable.

It's just that the money and jade necklace are both gone, which is really heartbreaking.

The jade necklace being broken is something she can tell her family directly about - she already has all the fragments, so it's not a problem.

But the money...it's still kind of hard to swallow.

The money and everything are all stored in my own hands at home, Xie Changkun himself doesn't have much money, not even the tens of thousands he earned from selling antiques to himself.

And I've squandered all our family's savings, which would be a dead giveaway if my husband found out. I'm really regretting what happened today.

On the way back home, Hong Wu gave me a call and said, "Master Ye, I just sent the team off on high-speed transportation, and they're already heading to Jinxi. Originally, I was supposed to go myself and take care of some business for you, but there's something going on at Tianxiang Manor tonight, with a big shot who has booked the diamond package for a party..."

He continued, "But don't worry, I'll fly over tomorrow and estimate that by afternoon, their team will have arrived."

I nodded and curiously asked, "Is there a VIP guest at Tianxiang Manor tonight? What's their background?"

Hong Wu hastily replied, "It's the Jiangnan Wu family, specifically Wu Donghai and his son Wu Xin."

I furrowed my brow, wondering why they had stayed in Jinling all this time. Are they trying to find me?

After all, Wu Qi needs to take a pee every hour or so, which is just my doing.

Estimatedly, the Wu family also realized that there must be some hidden agenda behind this, so they wanted to investigate and get to the bottom of it.

However, Leaf Chen didn't worry about it; the Wu family's influence was no greater than his own.

Additionally, given my current capabilities, even if I don't reveal the background of the Yang family, the Wu family would be unable to do anything to me.

If the Wu family insists on pretending to be friendly, there will be nothing to complain about in the future.

So Leaf Chen told Hong Wu, "Okay, you go ahead and take care of your business." JrNovels.com
