After awakening her X-ray vision, the beautiful CEO couldn't sit still any longer.

"Miss, the old lady wishes to meet Mr. Ye alone."

Ye Tian gave Wang Yuyan a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, it's alright."

Ye Tian followed the butler, Uncle Cheng, into the old lady's courtyard.

The reception room was simply furnished yet exuded an extraordinary atmosphere, with rosewood tables and chairs, landscape paintings by famous artists hanging on the walls, and a bronze incense burner on the long table, with a faint sandalwood fragrance lingering in the air.

An old lady sat in the main chair.

She looked to be over seventy years old, with silver hair that was neatly combed. She wore a dark purple brocade Suzhou embroidery dress and sat upright like a pine tree.

"Madam, Mr. Ye has arrived," Uncle Cheng announced in a low voice.

The old lady nodded slightly, her gaze lingering on Ye Tian's face for a few seconds before she spoke.

His voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear, carrying the air of someone long accustomed to a superior position: "You're Ye Tian? The new owner of the antique market?"

Although the old lady's face bore the marks of time, her eyes were remarkably clear and bright.

Like a cold star that has become sharper with the passage of time, it now falls calmly and steadily upon Ye Tian.

The gaze wasn't aggressive, but it possessed a penetrating power, as if it could see right into a person's heart.

Ye Tian looked directly into the old woman's eyes, neither humble nor arrogant: "That's right, I am."

"I've heard about your affair with the Murong family."

Murong Zhenting, that old fox, dumped the antique market on you and then hid away to enjoy his retirement. This has nothing to do with my Wang family.

But what do you mean by having such an ambiguous relationship with that little girl from the Murong family, and then coming to provoke my Yu Yan?

The old lady suddenly changed the subject, and something seemed to appear in her sharp eyes:

"I didn't want to get involved in your young people's affairs, but my daughter Yuyan is innocent and I don't want her to get hurt."

Tell me, are you serious about Murong Xue, or are you serious about my Yu Yan?

Or are you just trying to climb the social ladder and use this opportunity to rise in rank?

The old lady asked very directly, without any embellishment.

The air suddenly froze.

Ye Tian was silent for two seconds, then met the old lady's gaze without flinching:

"Grandma, I can tell you very clearly that I have no intention of climbing the social ladder by marrying into your family."

As for my feelings for Yuyan, they are real, and I will not let her get hurt.

Please believe me, give me some more time, and I can prove to you that I can take good care of Yuyan without relying on anyone.

"What makes you think I should believe you? Just because you won a few stones gambling and became the owner of the antique market?"

The old lady suddenly chuckled softly, but there was no warmth or even mockery in her laughter, only a desolate indifference.

"Boss Ye, it is through the efforts of four generations and a century of accumulation that my Wang family has achieved its current glory."

How long do you want her to wait? Ten years? Or twenty?

You can wait, but Yu Yan can't.

Even if Yu Yan is to get married, she wants to marry someone of equal social standing.

You are not good enough for my Yuyan.

The old lady looked at Ye Tian coldly, her eyes filled with an unprecedented determination.

"Grandma, I won't marry anyone else, I only want to be with Ye Tian."

Wang Yuyan ran in from outside and tightly grasped Ye Tian's hand.

"Grandma, have you forgotten? Ye Tian found the Peach Blossom Spring painting by Qi Baishi in Sifang Pavilion, which is worth 2.5 million yuan."

It was also Ye Tian who discovered that someone was deliberately trying to sow discord between us and the Murong family, so that we wouldn't end up fighting them to the death.

He has been kind to our Wang family, how can you look down on Ye Tian like this?

Wang Yuyan's eyes were red, and she looked like she could burst into tears at any moment.

"Yu Yan, you are too young, you don't understand."

Only by finding someone of equal social standing can you have a happy life in the future.

Ye Tian has been kind to our Wang family; we can repay him in other ways.

You don't need to stake your happiness on this.

The old lady sternly dissuaded her.

"Grandma, I'm with Ye Tian not to repay a debt of gratitude."

I want to be with Ye Tian because I like him.

No matter what you say, I won't change my mind.

"In this life, I want to be with Ye Tian forever."

Wang Yuyan's attitude was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.

"Yuyan, I've really spoiled you."

Okay, so you're determined to marry him, right?

Okay, if he can earn a net worth of five billion within a year, I'll agree to let you date him.

If he can't do that, you can never be together.

The old lady spoke with conviction and her attitude was very firm.

"Grandma, aren't you making things difficult for her?"

Our Wang family's assets of tens of billions are the result of more than a hundred years of accumulation over four generations.

You want Ye Tian to earn 5 billion in a year? Who can do that?

I'll go to Grandpa's grave right now and tell him you're being unreasonable. I'll let him teach you a lesson tonight.

Wang Yuyan was so angry that she had no choice but to bring up her deceased grandfather to scare the old lady.

"You unfilial granddaughter, what did you say?" The old lady suddenly stood up, trembling with anger.

"Yuyan, don't talk nonsense, or you'll upset your grandma and cause her any harm."

Ye Tian quickly pulled Wang Yuyan back before she could speak.

"Grandma, if I can come up with five billion within a year, will you agree to let Yuyan be with me?"

In the past, Ye Tian wouldn't have dared to even think about it. Let alone coming up with 5 billion a year, even 500,000 would have been impossible.

But Ye Tian is different now. Since awakening his Heavenly Eye Divine Power, he has earned a fortune of one billion in just a few days.

He might earn five billion in less than a year.

This agreement was a piece of cake for Ye Tian.

"That's right. If you can really earn 5 billion in a year, I will not only not object to you dating Yu Yan."

I'll also give you 1 billion yuan as a dowry for Yuyan.

The old lady sneered, "Young people these days really don't know their place."

Did they think making 5 billion was so easy?

That's not fifty yuan; you can't just agree to it with a flick of your lips. Do you really think money comes from thin air?

"Okay, ma'am, I promise you."

"Words are meaningless; let's draw up a written agreement."

If he wins, he'll not only get a beautiful girlfriend, but also a dowry of 1 billion. Such a good deal is definitely a done deal.

"Honey, what are you doing? That's five billion."

You can't agree to earn that much in a year.

If you agree, we'll never have a chance to be together again.

Wang Yuyan quickly stopped her, stamping her feet in frustration.

"Yu Yan, I'll tell you a secret, I've already made a billion in the last few days."

"Earning five billion a year is a piece of cake, so don't worry, I can definitely do it."

Ye Tian whispered in Wang Yuyan's ear.

"Really? Honey, you're amazing!"

Wang Yuyan instantly became happy.

With a "smack," he kissed Ye Tian on the cheek.

"Yuyan, what are you doing? Go back to your room."

The old lady was furious when she saw Wang Yuyan being affectionate with Ye Tian right in front of her.

"Honey, come to my room tonight, I'll be waiting for you."

After whispering in Ye Tian's ear, Wang Yuyan skipped away.

"Ye Tian, ​​this is the written agreement we made. I hope you will keep your word and behave yourself."

"Butler Cheng, please see the guest out for me."

A cold glint appeared in the old woman's eyes as she spoke in a voice only she could hear.

Young people always think they are incredibly talented and that there is nothing they cannot do.

"If you can't do it in a year, let's see what face you'll have left to pester Yu Yan."
