Chapter 2: I Have 10 Billion in Cash
Ten billion?!
Ye Chen was dumbfounded.
He knew his grandfather's family was wealthy, but as a child, he had no concept of money. He only knew that the Ye family was one of the top families in Beijing and nationwide.
However, at this moment, he realized the magnitude of their wealth.
Ten billion was just pocket money; the entire Ye family's assets were likely in the trillions!
Honestly, he felt tempted at this moment.
But thinking about his parents' deaths, which his grandfather couldn't be excused from, he found it hard to forgive.
Tang Sihai noticed his hesitation and hurriedly said, "Young Master, you are a member of the Ye family. This money rightfully belongs to you. In fact, it is your father's money."
"The Old Master said that if you are willing to return, the family's trillion-yuan assets will be yours to inherit. If you are unwilling to return, this money is for your living expenses."
"Oh, and the largest company in Jinling, the Emgrand Group, with a market value of 100 billion yuan, was fully acquired by the Ye family yesterday. All the shares are now in your name. You can take over the Emgrand Group tomorrow!"
Ye Chen was incredulous.
The Ye family's investment for him was enormous!
A black card with 10 billion yuan and the 100 billion yuan Emgrand Group!
Jinling was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but the true giant was the Emgrand Group. Any family had to bow before it; it was the emperor of Jinling's business world!
Even the Xiao family, the Wang family, and the Zhang family, who pursued Xiao Churan, were insignificant compared to the Emgrand Group.
And now, it was his?
At this moment, Tang Sihai handed him a business card and said, "Young Master, you might need some time to think this over, so I won't disturb you further. This is my phone number; contact me anytime if you need anything!"
After saying this, Tang Sihai turned and left.
After he left, Ye Chen stood there, still in a daze.
He didn't know whether he should accept the Ye family's compensation.
But, considering his tumultuous life over the past decade, enduring humiliation in the Xiao family, this was the compensation he deserved from the Ye family, so why not take it?
Moreover, Aunt Li's medical expenses still required two million yuan, which was urgent.
Thinking of this, he bit his lip and turned back to the payment office: "Hello, I'd like to pay the remaining two million."
He swiped the card, entered the password, and the transaction was successful.
Two million was effortlessly credited to the hospital's account.
Ye Chen felt as if he was in a dream.
Did he just become a billionaire overnight?
...
Returning home in a daze.
The house was already in an uproar.
Xiao Churan and her parents didn't live in the Xiao family villa but in a very ordinary apartment.
Since Xiao Churan married him and Old Master Xiao passed away, they had been kicked out.
His mother-in-law was at home, cursing, "That useless Ye Chen! He embarrassed us today! If you don't divorce him, your grandmother might kick you out of the Xiao Group!"
Xiao Churan said, "If I get kicked out, I'll find another job."
"You..." Her mother said angrily, "What's so good about that useless man? Why can't you divorce him and marry Zhang Wenhao? If you marry Zhang Wenhao, our whole family can hold our heads high!"
Her father chimed in, "Yes! Marry Zhang Wenhao, and your grandmother will immediately treat us like treasures, and she'll be eager to curry favor with you."
Xiao Churan said, "Stop it. I won't divorce Ye Chen."
"You stubborn child!"
They were about to continue persuading when Ye Chen pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing him, his father-in-law and mother-in-law showed no good expressions.
His mother-in-law snorted coldly, "A useless man, and he still has the face to come back!"
Ye Chen sighed inwardly. His mother-in-law had always looked down on him, but if she knew he was now the owner of the Emgrand Group and had 10 billion in cash, how would she react?
However, Ye Chen wasn't ready to reveal his identity yet.
After being away from the Ye family for so many years, who knew what the current situation was? What if revealing himself attracted harm?
So, it was better to stay low-key for now.
He lowered his head and said apologetically, "Mom, I'm sorry for the trouble today."
His mother-in-law scolded, "It's more than trouble. You're killing us! Can't you have a bit of self-awareness and leave our family?"
Xiao Churan quickly said, "Mom, how can you say that? Ye Chen is your son-in-law!"
"Rubbish!" His mother-in-law said hatefully, "I don't have a useless son-in-law! The further he goes, the better!"
Xiao Churan pushed Ye Chen, "Go to your room."
Ye Chen gratefully nodded and retreated to his room.
He and Xiao Churan had been married for three years but had never consummated their marriage. She slept on the bed while he slept on the floor.
That night, Ye Chen couldn't sleep.
The events of the day were too shocking, and he couldn't digest them.
Before sleeping, Xiao Churan asked, "How is Aunt Li? I still have over ten thousand yuan in savings. Take it to her tomorrow."
Ye Chen said, "No need. Someone has already paid for her and sent her to Beijing for treatment."
"Really?" Xiao Churan asked joyfully, "Aunt Li is saved?"
"Yes," Ye Chen said, "Aunt Li has done so much good in her life, helping many people. Now someone has finally repaid her."
"That's good." Xiao Churan nodded, saying, "You can relax now."
"Yes."
Xiao Churan said, "I need to sleep. There's been a lot of work at the company lately, and I'm exhausted."
Ye Chen asked, "Is something wrong at the company?"
Xiao Churan said, "Business isn't doing well. Grandma wants to collaborate with big companies like the Emgrand Group, but the Xiao family is too weak, and they aren't interested."
Ye Chen thought of the Emgrand Group and asked, "Does the Xiao family not have any collaboration with the Emgrand Group?"
Xiao Churan laughed self-deprecatingly, "The Emgrand Group wouldn't look at the Xiao family! Even Weiwei's fiancé, Wang Yunfei, only has a slight connection with the Emgrand Group. Grandma hopes their marriage will help the Xiao family connect with the Emgrand Group."
Ye Chen nodded.
So, the Xiao family was desperate to collaborate with the Emgrand Group.
But little did the matriarch know that the Emgrand Group was now his...
Thinking of this, Ye Chen decided to take over the Emgrand Group and help Xiao Churan through it. She was too bullied in the Xiao family, and as her husband, he had the responsibility to elevate her status.
Churan, from today on, your husband is different!
I won't let anyone look down on you again!
I will make the entire Xiao family bow to you!
