Chapter 405 Sister-in-law

"I know you don't have anything to do with each other."

Gao Yalou took a sip of tea and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Haven't you thought about anything? Xiao Lu is quite good-looking and has a great personality."

Chen Yancheng frowned slightly, somewhat surprised.

From the moment he leaves school, he's in a nice car, goes to upscale places, drinks fine tea, and even mentions that it's tea produced in his own village. Isn't this exactly the kind of plot that "makes a poor boy realize the gap between himself and others"?

Gao Yalou took out a cigarette and offered one to the young man: "Xiao Lu has been spoiled at home since she was little. As long as she likes it, we won't object."

"I'm not afraid to tell you, I've done my research, and your character is very reliable. If you two can get together, I, as your father, will definitely be happy to see it happen."

Chen Yancheng touched his nose: "Uncle Gao, after graduation I'm going back to Beijing, and I haven't thought about dating or getting married so early."

"Listen to me first."

Gao Yalou waved his hand and lit a cigarette: "You're a computer science major, so you can work at Xiao Lu's second uncle's software company after graduation."

"Once you have experience, if you want to start your own business, I can provide you with start-up capital."

“We only have two children in our family. In the future, Xiaolu’s brother will take the lion’s share of the family fortune, and Xiaolu will also receive a considerable amount. There will definitely be tens of millions of yuan in the end.”

"You could actually consider it."

After listening, Chen Yancheng touched his nose and lit a cigarette: "Uncle Gao, it really has nothing to do with money or anything. I just don't want to be in a relationship so early."

"Gao Lu is a very good girl."

“If I had met her a few years later, I would definitely have pursued her, but now I enjoy being single more. I appreciate your kindness.”

After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye.

Gao Yalou ignored him, continuing to smoke and frowning: "Hey... this kid is really interesting, an idealist, huh?"

Women are not important, money is not important, single life is the most important. This guy probably has problems with his family of origin, so he has a fear of women and marriage.
But to refuse so decisively, this guy is quite something: "Our daughter has good taste, but alas, her affections are unrequited, sigh..."

……

Ye Wan pulled the blanket up and lay down lazily: "Chen Yanjin, I want to move back to the dormitory."

Chen Yanjin turned over and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Wife, is this not satisfactory? Are you going to separate? Or shall we continue?"

Ye Wan gritted her teeth slightly: "Get out!"

Chen Yanjin chuckled: "I still have the strength."

Ye Wan chuckled: "Don't be so shameless. Fine, I'll give in to you. Let's make a deal: from now on, you'll sleep in the living room on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays."

"Don't even think about it."

He pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips: "Honey, practice cooking more. You have to believe that hard work can overcome talent."

Ye Wan spat, "How come I never noticed how shameless you are before? You can say anything. If you're never serious, I'm going to tell my older sister."

Chen Yanjin raised an eyebrow: "How do you complain?"

"You...you scoundrel!" Ye Wan was both amused and exasperated. No wonder people say that men in love and men in everyday life are completely different.

The night passed, and it was the weekend again.

Chen Yanjin got up early, ran to school, practiced health-preserving boxing a few times, and felt light and refreshed before running back home. It was already past seven o'clock when she got home.

He opened the door and saw a pretty young woman in her pajamas busy in the kitchen. He quietly walked over and kissed her on the cheek: "Honey, what are you doing?"

The girl turned around, her eyes wide open.

Chen Yanjin suddenly realized something was wrong. He was punched in the nose and cried out as he squatted down, covering his nose and tears streaming down his face.

That's a natural reaction!

Hearing the shouts, Ye Wan quickly ran out: "What's wrong? A-Ling, did you hit him again?"

“Ask him,” Ye Ling said through gritted teeth.

Chen Yanjin rubbed her nose and it took her a while to recover: "Why did you and your sister wear the same pajamas for no reason? How can you blame me?"

Ye Wan pinched him hard: "You bastard, you only recognize clothes and not people?"

Chen Yanjin smiled wryly: "You guys don't usually dress like this, how was I supposed to know you'd wear matching pajamas? Who could tell the difference?"

Ye Wan sighed, "It was a gift from the fourth brother."

"I'll deal with her when we get home."

Chen Yanjin rubbed his nose and chuckled awkwardly, "Ah Ling, don't be angry. To express my apology, I'll treat you to a big meal today. You can choose any delicacy you like." Ye Ling kicked him again, turned around and went back to her room to change her clothes, muttering, "Bastard, what kind of person is he? And Chen Laosi, he must have done it on purpose."

"I treated you like a best friend, and you dared to scheme against me. If I don't teach you a lesson, you won't know that Lord Ma has three eyes."

She changed into loose clothes, tied her hair in a big ponytail, and came out of the house: "Brother-in-law, I'll go to your house later to settle accounts with Lao Si."

What could Chen Yanjin say?
The fourth brother has to take the blame for this. That little brat is always causing trouble. Ye Ling is not someone to be trifled with. She's lucky she only took one punch today.

If you anger her, she can make you feel like you're being humiliated.

Bringing his wife and sister-in-law home, Ye Ling, as expected, saw Chen Yanyin and, without saying a word, dragged her back into the house. A short while later, the sound of the fourth brother begging for mercy could be heard from inside.

"Ah Ling, let go first. Whether you kill me or torture me, at least let me die knowing why, right?"

"Pajamas, how do you explain that?"

"What pajamas?"

"You gave this to me and my sister."

"I sent it, is there a problem?" Chen Yanyin blinked.

Ye Ling gritted her teeth: "You did this on purpose, didn't you? I treated you like a sister, and you still schemed against me?"

Chen Yanyin looked completely innocent: "What's wrong?"

"I..." Ye Ling was speechless. She couldn't very well say that she had been kissed by her brother-in-law, could she? If that got out, she would be too ashamed to face anyone.

Chen Yanyin suppressed a laugh and raised an eyebrow slightly: "Could it be that my brother has recognized me..."

"That's not true." Ye Ling gritted her teeth.

Chen Yanyin pretended to breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good, don't be upset. I have a client coming over today, so it's perfect that you're here. Can you do me a favor?"

Before Ye Ling could react, he pulled her to the neighboring courtyard number 17: "A jade merchant will be coming to buy goods later, just keep an eye on things for me."

As he spoke, he pushed open a door.

Inside the room were piles of Hetian jade. Ye Ling felt a little dizzy looking at them: "Is all of this Hetian jade? How can there be so much?"

Chen Yanyin sighed: "I really like jade. I've been interested in it since I was a child. My second aunt thought it was a great interest, so she bought a lot of jade and now I'm in charge of handling it."

Ye Ling clicked her tongue in amazement; the rich are just different.

When people buy Hetian jade, they usually buy one piece, not a whole roomful: "How much are these Hetian jade pieces? By the piece or by the pound?"

"We sell by the kilogram, depending on the quality."

Chen Yanyin picked up a piece with excellent whiteness and oiliness: "A piece of this quality can sell for 20 yuan per kilogram."

Then, he picked up a relatively ordinary piece: "The ones here are all good. This one isn't as good as the previous one, but it still costs fifty or sixty thousand per kilogram."

Ye Ling scratched his head: "This whole room must weigh seven or eight tons, right? Your second aunt really dotes on you."

"All three mothers are the same; they all spoil their children."

Chen Yanyin chuckled, then said with a bitter face, "The houses next door are all like that. My second aunt bought over a hundred tons back then, and after several months of selling, she only sold less than ten tons. I estimate it will take several years to sell them."

Ye Ling didn't want to talk anymore.

It's a bit discouraging. Many people study hard, get into prestigious universities, and work hard after graduation, only to find that the money they earn can't even buy a single stone.

Ye Ling was happy that her sister was able to marry into the Chen family, as it was a true leap in social class, and the Chen family members were all easy to get along with.

"Wanwan, you'll graduate in a month. Have you decided what you want to do? Do you want to help me at the foundation?" Xu Jinqiu pulled Ye Wan down to sit.

Before Ye Wan could answer, Zhao Yuanyuan added, "Wanwan, the work at the foundation is very boring. Why don't you take over Xingmang Investment and I'll hand over Luoshen to you?"

Xu Jinqiu's eyes widened instantly: "Zhao Yuanyuan, get out of here! You can't even be bothered to manage things yourself, so why do you think Wanwan will like it?"

"Xu Jinqiu, can't you be reasonable? You said it yourself, you should respect Wanwan's choice. I'm just offering Wanwan another option," Zhao Yuanyuan sneered.

Ye Wan smiled wryly. What should she say?
Aunt Zeng had just pulled me aside and said she hoped I would consider taking over Xingguang Investment. Now Aunt Xu and Aunt Zhao are saying the same thing.

It's as if the family business is a hot potato.

What Ye Wan didn't know was that they all had their own considerations. Zhao Yuanyuan was simply lazy, Zeng Ali was planning to retire, and Xu Jinqiu thought she was the most suitable person to take over the foundation.

The foundation's funds mainly come from the family, with the second son being the primary heir. It would be most appropriate for the second son's wife to take over the foundation.
