Chapter 1820: Open Robbery

Ye Jun’s lips curled slightly, “Thank you for your hard work, grandma. Let me know when you’re done counting.”

“You’ve worked hard too, go home and rest early.”

“Okay.”

Chen Nian chased after him to remind him: “Don’t stay in the study for too long, go to bed early.”

“Got it.”

After Ye Jun left, Chen Nian endured for a while longer. Su Rong was speaking vaguely, and she didn’t listen to any of it. Fortunately, Su Rong didn’t keep her for long. After helping Su Rong back to her room, Chen Nian hurriedly returned home.

The Ye family’s villa isn’t very large. The house is an ancestral home, said to be a reward from the emperor, and was once very prestigious. But by today’s standards, it’s not considered a grand household. Elder Ye had thought about expanding it several times, but since nobody around was willing to sell, they waited for decades. Finally, a family decided to sell, but Elder Ye hesitated over the price, thinking it wasn’t worth it, and in the end, couldn’t make up his mind. As a result, a foreign businessman bought it, renovated it, and has been living there for years. So, the Ye residence has only been repaired a few times and still has the same size. They meticulously divided the land among the three families. After Ye Jun came of age, Elder Ye considered giving him a piece of land too, but none could be spared, and renovations would make it too cramped. Ye Jun didn’t mind; he always lived with his parents.

From the main house, Chen Nian walked quickly and returned home shortly.

She first went to the study, didn’t see anyone, then went to the bedroom, and heard the sound of water in the bathroom. She was about to call out to him when she caught sight of the clothes casually thrown by the bed.

“This child, can’t tidy up.”

Chen Nian sighed, she walked over to tidy up, reached into the suit pocket, and pulled out an invitation. She opened it, and what else could it be but Nan Jiaojiao’s wedding invitation.

She wanted to take it away at that moment, but if she stole it, Ye Jun would quickly find out. After thinking about it, she put it back.

She knocked on the bathroom door, “Juann, are you inside?”

The sound of water inside quieted down a bit, “I’m taking a shower, what’s up?”

“Nothing, I just came to check on you. After you finish washing up, go to bed early,” Chen Nian pursed her lips, “About Jiaojiao’s dowry, just add what you think is enough. You’ve only been in charge of the company for a few years, just got your footing, and there are plenty of things that need money. Don’t be too honest.”

After speaking, there was no sound from behind the door. Chen Nian felt uneasy and thought it was inappropriate to say that, so she added: “It’s all your grandmother’s idea. Anyway, you don’t need to worry about Jiaojiao’s dowry. You’re a man; you don’t need to be so detailed.”

After a few seconds, Ye Jun’s voice was heard: “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief, her tone lightened, and she spoke a bit more before leaving.

After returning to her room, she tossed and turned restlessly. In the middle of the night, Ye Congde returned, reeking of alcohol. Even after showering, the smell was still pungent, making it even harder for Chen Nian to sleep. She let out some frustration and sent him to sleep in the guest room.

She barely slept all night, but still had to get up early to have breakfast with Su Rong.

“Do you have flowers in your bowl?” Su Rong tapped the table, “It’s morning already, the porridge is all mushy from stirring.”

Chen Nian was startled, glanced down at her spoon, put it down, reached out for a sandwich, and smiled, “You’re always teasing me.”

“What’s wrong, looking so worn out.”

“I was binge-watching a show last night, stayed up too late.”

“You’re not young anymore, don’t stay up late like the youngsters.”

Su Rong scooped a spoonful of porridge, blew on it to cool it down, and casually asked: “Did the Bo Family come yesterday and give you anything?”
