My Silly, Sweet Wife

Wu Caijun was also highly knowledgeable about antiques. Just now, seeing Ye Guichen casually glance at an item and effortlessly identify its origin, how could he not be astonished?

”Then, aren’t we hitting the jackpot?” Wu Sandao also became excited.

Wu Caijun glanced at Wu Sandao and after a moment of contemplation, said, ”This matter must not be mentioned to anyone, and once all these items are sold, the money must be handed over to our benefactor for disposal.”

”What?” Wu Sandao’s face fell. This was a substantial amount of money.

Wu Caijun said, ”What do you know? Just from a glance, it’s clear our benefactor is no ordinary person. If we can establish a connection with such an individual, a few antiques are nothing!”

...

Furong District.

This was the apartment where Chen Ziran lived alone.

Early in the morning, Chen Ziran, with dark circles under her eyes, got up, tidied up a little, and prepared to go to work.

Ever since Ye Guichen’s arrival, it seemed that only on the night Ye Guichen stayed at her place did she sleep soundly. In the following days, Ye Guichen never returned.

”This guy, in Yun City without family or friends, could he be out there wandering aimlessly again?” Chen Ziran felt inexplicably irritable. For some reason, she couldn’t get Ye Guichen’s figure out of her mind, but Ye Guichen had no phone, so she couldn’t contact him if she wanted to.

The doorbell suddenly rang.

Chen Ziran was overjoyed and ran to the door without even putting on her slippers. ”Ye, you still remember to come back, huh?”

But when she opened the door, the smile on her face froze, and her brows furrowed. ”Why is it you?”

The visitor, dressed in casual clothes, smiled upon seeing her reaction. ”Oh, Ziran, who are you waiting for? It seems I’m not very welcome.”

”What do you want?” The person standing in front of her was none other than Chen Longxiang, her uncle’s son. Despite being cousins, he was always at odds with her both openly and secretly.

Although Chen Ziran and Chen Longxiang were siblings, there was no affection between them. Apart from work matters, they barely communicated.

Chen Longxiang made himself comfortable, walked in, sat on the sofa, and glanced around. Seeing only Chen Ziran, he said, ”Ziran, I heard your fiancé is here. Why not introduce him to me?”

Chen Ziran crossed her arms in front of her chest and said expressionlessly, ”Chen Longxiang, if you have something to say, say it. If not, I have to go to work.”

”Haha.” Chen Longxiang laughed. ”Ziran, why so rushed? It’s not like I’ll eat you. Besides, you might not need to work much longer; why so enthusiastic?”

Chen Ziran’s expression slightly changed, ”What do you mean?”

”Oh, to be honest, although our Chen family’s medical equipment isn’t well-established in Yun City, I attended a medical forum yesterday. Not only did I meet many key figures in the medical field, but I also got to know Dean Wang Jinglun of Renmin Hospital. Once our Chen equipment makes it into Renmin Hospital, I’ll have the highest merit in front of grandma.” At this point, Chen Longxiang revealed a meaningful smile. ”Grandma will definitely grant me a wish then. Guess what condition I’ll propose?”

Hearing this, Chen Ziran bit her lip and remained silent.

She was well aware that the Chen Group was now keen on developing medical equipment, having invested a great deal of resources, but had yet to see results.

She herself had approached Wang Jinglun but was rebuffed.

The current head of the Chen family, Chen Ziran’s grandmother, had said that whoever could secure Renmin Hospital for their equipment would be granted a wish.

Grandma already favored Chen Longxiang. If he managed to secure the deal with Renmin Hospital, Chen Ziran’s predicament would be all too predictable.

She hadn’t anticipated that Chen Longxiang would connect with Wang Jinglun. If he succeeded, her position as vice president would become nominal.

If Chen Longxiang further placed obstacles in her way with grandma, she might not even be able to stay in the Chen Group.

”Haha, Ziran, if there’s nothing else, I’ll get going.” Chen Longxiang, seeing that Chen Ziran understood his implication, laughed as he stood up, walked to the door, and turned back. ”Oh, make the most of your time at the Chen Group. If you can’t stay, as your brother, I’ll find you a job. Hmm, maybe I’ll open a restaurant and hire you as a waitress. Haha, haha...”

”Chen Longxiang!” After he left, Chen Ziran clenched her fists, her already irritable mood becoming even gloomier.

After about ten minutes, having finally calmed down a bit, she was about to leave when there was another knock on the door.

”Chen Longxiang, aren’t you done?” Chen Ziran exploded, shouting as she yanked the door open.
