"What? It suddenly appeared? Where did it come from?" Jiang Qi asked.
"I don’t know. Judging by the company’s domain name, it seems to have been registered for more than two years, but it’s probably just a shell company, only had a domain name without any real industry. But today, for some reason, it suddenly emerged, and its financial power seems to be on par with us, the Jiang Family!"
Jiang Qi became more anxious and asked Jiang Tian, "Dad, could it be Ouyang Qingcheng?"
"It can’t be. I know Ouyang Qingcheng. She didn’t come to Jiangnan for power or money. She came to find something, so she won’t get involved at this time!" Jiang Tian analyzed.
"Then who could it be? The Chu father and son? Or Dong Shi Guo and his son?" Jiang Qi muttered to himself.
"Chu Xiuen doesn’t have the cunning and depth for this; only Dong Shi Guo is possible. But where would he get such massive funds?" Jiang Tian pondered.
"Think Tank, go check Dong Shi Guo and his son’s recent activities!" Jiang Qi ordered.
Think Tank nodded, "Alright!"
"Soon, the heir of the Golden Family, William, will be arriving in Jiangnan. You go personally to greet him! Also, prepare for tonight’s banquet!" Jiang Tian said.
Jiang Qi’s eyes sparkled, "The Golden Family, huh? If we can latch onto such a big tree, it will be an unprecedented help for us!"
The reunion between Ye Chenfeng and Chu Qingxue felt like it had been a century. After saying one sentence each, they just quietly stared at each other, tacitly not saying anything more.
Eventually, it was the dog that broke the silence, barking and pouncing on Chu Qingxue.
"I didn’t expect that in my most difficult times, the only ones accompanying me would be you and Huhu!" Chu Qingxue sarcastically said as she picked up the dog.
"Chen Xijun didn’t make things difficult for you, did she?" Ye Chenfeng asked.
Chu Qingxue shook her head, "She didn’t make things difficult for me!"
"Seeing you’re alright, I feel relieved!" Ye Chenfeng showed a slight smile.
"After the way I spoke to you, you don’t blame me?" Chu Qingxue blinked her bright eyes and looked seriously at Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng awkwardly touched his nose, "I was angry at the time, after all, I’m a man and also your fiancé. You didn’t give me any face, naturally I left in anger!"
Chu Qingxue’s mouth showed a rare smile, "I didn’t expect your male ego to be so strong!"
"Of course it is. In my hometown, wives are to be disciplined, not pampered!" Ye Chenfeng said boldly.
"What a scary custom!" Chu Qingxue sneered.
"What’s so scary about it? It’s a tradition passed down from our ancestors. Wives must be disciplined, otherwise, they climb all over you. In the past, the system of one man having multiple wives was great, wives had to act according to their husband’s mood!" Ye Chenfeng argued.
Chu Qingxue glared at him, "Multiple wives, huh? How feudal is your thinking!"
"What do you mean, feudal? You might not know this, Xue’xue, but polygamy was abolished in the Divine Land in 1930. During the period before the new Divine Land, many wealthy men still practiced polygamy, and the state didn’t interfere. In other words, the history of monogamy is only a few decades old, compared to the five thousand years of polygamy, can it even compare?"
"Ye Chenfeng, you have a lot of twisted logic. What do you spend all your time on?" Chu Qingxue said annoyed.
After another period of silence, Chu Qingxue suddenly looked up at Ye Chenfeng, "Ye Chenfeng, I’ll be honest with you, I now have nothing, truly nothing. Not only am I no longer the high and mighty president of the Chu Corporation, but the bank has frozen all my accounts. Soon, even this villa and the cars in the garage will belong to the bank. You could say I don’t even have enough money for my next meal!"
"Oh!" Ye Chenfeng listened intently and nodded slightly.
"So, let me ask you, are you still willing to stay with me now?" Chu Qingxue asked seriously.
"Miss Chu Qingxue, please listen to me: from now on, I will take care of you!" Ye Chenfeng gazed into her eyes and replied earnestly.
Chu Qingxue couldn’t help but laugh and said, "Who needs you to take care of me? I have hands and feet; how can I let someone else take care of me?"
But although she said this, in reality, Chu Qingxue’s heart was full of emotion, and even her eyes sparkled with tears.
She had heard a saying, "The most beautiful love isn’t sharing the joy of ruling the world with you, but walking through the years of having nothing with you."
Although she couldn’t quite call it love with Ye Chenfeng, having someone quietly accompany her in difficult times was the greatest support for Chu Qingxue.
"Actually, I feel relaxed now. Shedding the burden of the Chu Corporation presidency and giving up everything, I realize that being an ordinary person is so joyful!" Chu Qingxue seemed a lot more relaxed, with a smile on her face.
"Are you hungry? I’ll take you out for barbecue. There’s nothing in this world that a barbecue can’t solve. If one meal can’t, then we’ll have two!" Ye Chenfeng smiled.
"Alright!" Chu Qingxue replied.
"Miss Chu, according to the regulations, all your villa and car now belong to the bank. Please move your things out?" Soon, someone from the bank came and asked Chu Qingxue to move her things out.
Unexpectedly, Chu Qingxue casually said, "No need to move!"
"Why not move?" Ye Chenfeng also asked in confusion.
"Just being stubborn!" Chu Qingxue’s response left Ye Chenfeng speechless; he never knew this side of her.
Suddenly, Ye Chenfeng brought out a bicycle from inside, still a Flying Pigeon brand, but the bike was brand new.
"You... you bought a new bike?" Chu Qingxue couldn’t help but ask when she saw the bike.
"Nope, it’s the broken one. I just collected all the parts and had it reassembled at a repair shop. It looks brand new, doesn’t it?" Ye Chenfeng said.
Chu Qingxue nodded, "Mhm!"
Then she sat on the back seat with the dog in her arms, afraid that Ye Chenfeng would hold her like last time.
"Oh, isn’t this Qingxue? Where are you going empty-handed? Shouldn’t the president of the Chu Corporation go out in a luxury car?" Just as they were about to leave, a mocking voice came.
They looked over and saw Yao Bilian walking her purebred black Tibetan Mastiff, looking smug, her face full of disdain and contempt.
"Oh, isn’t this No~Respect~for~Face?" Ye Chenfeng said.
"What... what did you say?" Yao Bilian’s nose almost twisted in anger.
"Isn’t your name No~Respect~for~Face? Oh, my mistake, it’s Yao Bilian! Sorry, I forgot!" A sly glint flashed in Ye Chenfeng’s eyes.
"You... You’re driving me crazy!" Yao Bilian’s chest was about to explode with anger.
