My Silly, Sweet Wife

”This is a villa in Longhu Villa. The previous developer borrowed a lot of money from me, but in the end, they only repaid part of it and had no choice but to give me this villa as collateral,” Xu Wannian explained. ”I haven’t signed it yet. As soon as I sign, this villa will be yours. By the way, if nothing unexpected happens, this villa is now worth more than 30 million, and it’s fully furnished. If Brother Ye is willing, you can move in anytime.”

Ye Guichen didn’t expect Xu Wannian to be so generous. Just as he was about to decline, Xu Wannian spoke up, ”Hehe, Brother Ye, to be honest, I didn’t believe Li Bao when he said you were a Divine Doctor. But now I’m thoroughly convinced. I might have to trouble you a lot in the future. Besides, while this villa is nice, I’m not short of money. You don’t have to be so polite.”

This boast was really fresh and refined.

Ye Guichen decided not to be polite anymore, ”Haha, then I won’t stand on ceremony.”

When leaving the bank, Ye Guichen didn’t expect Chen Ziran to have already completed the loan procedures and was waiting for him outside.

As soon as she saw Ye Guichen come out, Chen Ziran immediately ran up and shyly lowered her head, ”Thank you.”

She knew it was all thanks to Ye Guichen, and she admired him even more in her heart.

Ye Guichen laughed heartily and pulled Chen Ziran into his arms, ”We’re family, no need to be so polite. Besides, it was just a small effort.”

”Hmph, so smug.” Chen Ziran subconsciously tried to struggle, but after a couple of attempts, she gave up and instead nestled closer into Ye Guichen, reminding him, ”Your medical skills are indeed impressive, and people may humble themselves before you when they need you, but this can’t last forever. We must know ourselves; we can’t always rely on this.”

To Chen Ziran, Ye Guichen’s recent incredible performances were all due to his medical skills.

But she didn’t know that Ye Guichen’s greatest backing wasn’t his medical skills at all.

Ye Guichen didn’t explain. Enjoying the fragrance in his arms, he said, ”Alright, I’ll listen to my wife.”

”Hmph, calling me ’wife’ non-stop, aren’t you ashamed?” Chen Ziran’s face turned even redder, but she looked shy like a little girl. She suddenly seemed to remember something and quickly said, ”By the way, my aunt is here. My mom wants me to go home for dinner tonight, would you come with me?”

Ye Guichen nodded, ”Yes, we had an unpleasant meeting with my parents last time. It’s just the right opportunity to talk to them about our wedding.”

”So full of yourself!” Chen Ziran said this with her mouth, but her face was filled with happiness, and she lowered her head even more.

No one noticed that not far from them, Zhuang Biqiang was staring at them with a face full of jealousy.

It wasn’t until Ye Guichen and Chen Ziran left that Zhuang Biqiang looked away, took out his phone, and made a call.

As soon as the call connected, Zhuang Biqiang began to cry, ”Sister Lan, I’ve been fired. I have no way to make a living now.”

”What happened?” A woman’s voice came from the other end of the call.

Zhuang Biqiang exaggeratedly explained what happened and sobbed, ”I even got beaten up. Who would have thought that kid knew Xu Wannian? This time, it’s going to be tricky.”

”Alright, old Zhuang, I get it. Come to Wendong Finance later, and I’ll arrange a job for you,” said the woman.

”Okay, okay, thank you, Sister Lan,” Zhuang Biqiang said obsequiously before hanging up the phone.

On the other end of the call, Niu Lan had a sullen expression.

She had already informed Zhuang Biqiang not to give the loan to Chen Ziran, but despite her threats to Chen Ziran earlier that day, the matter had been resolved by the afternoon.

”That bitch has some tricks,” Niu Lan said, looking very displeased.

Sitting on the sofa opposite her was a middle-aged man, none other than Long Zhengkun.

”Cousin, the plan failed,” Niu Lan tossed her phone onto the coffee table and lit a cigarette.

Long Zhengkun grunted, ”Cousin, I also heard your call earlier. I didn’t expect Chen Ziran to be so capable. But I’m just curious, how did that kid Ye Guichen get to know Chairman Xu? Hehe, anyway, I won’t let this go easily. I will bring down the Chen Group!”

As he spoke, Long Zhengkun put out his cigarette in the ashtray, stood up, walked over to Niu Lan, and hugged her, saying softly, ”Cousin, I’ll handle the rest myself. You don’t need to worry.”

Niu Lan snuggled into Long Zhengkun’s arms, her eyes full of tenderness, ”Cousin, seeing Zixiang like this breaks my heart. Over the years, although I have been Shang Wendong’s wife on the surface, you know that you are the only one in my heart.”

Niu Lan lifted her head, looking at Long Zhengkun with longing, ”Cousin, when can we be together openly without sneaking around?”

Long Zhengkun squatted down, cupping Niu Lan’s cheeks, ”Don’t worry, soon. Once I finish off Chen Ziran and Ye Guichen, the Chen Group will fall easily into my hands. Not only will we avenge Zixiang, but no one in Yun City will be able to stop us.”

”Mm.” Niu Lan nodded seriously, looking tenderly at Long Zhengkun, ”Cousin, I believe in you!”

...

Chunjing District.

At around five in the afternoon, Ye Guichen and Chen Ziran arrived at Guanghui’s house.

By the time they arrived, many people were already inside the house.

”Ah, Ranran is back.” As soon as they entered the door, a stylishly dressed middle-aged woman with a pearl necklace stood up and grabbed Chen Ziran’s hand, ”Ranran, it’s been so long since we last met, and you’ve become even more beautiful. By the way, I heard you’re now in charge of the Chen Group, you’re now the legitimate president, right? How’s that going? Haven’t you bought yourself a big house yet?”

This woman was extremely enthusiastic, constantly questioning Chen Ziran.

Her name was Lv Fang, Chen Ziran’s aunt, and the younger sister of Chen Ziran’s mother, Lv Ping.

”Auntie, you’re too kind. The money belongs to the company, I don’t have money to buy a new house,” Chen Ziran replied awkwardly, forcing a smile.

”That’s true, but for a beautiful president like you, you should find an equally matched young talent. Then, not only a house, but even ten or eight villas would be no problem,” Lv Fang said, glancing at Ye Guichen intentionally or otherwise, ”Oh, Ranran, who is this?”

”Ye Guichen, the fiancé Grandpa arranged for Ranran.” Lv Ping answered before Chen Ziran could speak, her voice cold.

Now that Chen Ziran had become president, Lv Ping’s position in the family had improved significantly, and she held her head even higher. However, she was still not very satisfied with Ye Guichen.

Moreover, Lv Ping didn’t know the events leading up to Chen Ziran becoming the president and wouldn’t associate them with Ye Guichen.

Even though last time Ye Guichen brought out a few million worth of items, Lv Ping still thought it was just a blind cat bumping into a dead rat.
