Chapter 502: Chapter 502: Moving into the Ye Residence
The next day, Ella had ng Ye organize the loan contract, then had him take a lawyer to the Shen Group.
In less than an hour, ng Ye returned with the contract.
“President Ling, everything is done.” ng Ye placed the contract in front of her.
Ella picked up the contract, glanced over it briefly, then closed it.
“Alright, transfer the amount specified to the Shen Group’s account from mine.”
“Okay, President Ling.”
Ella then added, “Rember to remind them to repay on ti. If not, apply the usual penalties for breach and follow the procedures outlined.”
ng Ye nodded, “Understood, President Ling.”
“Rember, no need for rcy, do what needs to be done.”
ng Ye was aware that Mr. Shen of the Shen Group was President Ling’s uncle-in-law.
At first, he thought President Ling was willing to help the Shen Group due to this connection, but now it seed not to be the case. Although President Ling agreed to lend money for the Shen Group to tide over, she included a condition in the contract for Shen Donghai to mortgage the Shen Group. If he didn’t repay by the due date, not only would he pay penalties, but the Shen Group would also be acquired.
“I know what to do now, President Ling.”
“Alright, you can go back to work.”
“Okay.”
“…”
At four in the afternoon.
An uninvited guest arrived at HL.
ng Ye knocked and walked in, “President Ling, the reception downstairs just called saying there’s a gentleman nad Lei, claiming to be your friend, who wants to see you.”
“A gentleman nad Lei?”
“That’s right.”
ng Ye handed her a tablet, saying, “This is the surveillance footage from the lobby downstairs we pulled up just now.”
Ella opened it and glanced at it.
Isn’t this Raymond?
When did she beco friends with him?
She closed the tablet and replied indifferently, “Tell the reception to inform him I’m not here, I’ve gone out.”
Raymond suddenly coming to see her couldn’t be for anything good.
Besides, she wasn’t familiar with him, nor was there any need to et.
ng Ye responded, “Okay, I’ll inform the reception right away.”
In the lobby on the first floor.
The receptionist, after receiving the call and looking at the man before her, said timidly, “Sorry, Mr. Lei, our President Ling isn’t here.”
Raymond looked at her, his eyes slightly narrowed, and said, “Not here? Are you sure?”
The receptionist replied, “Yes, Mr. Lei.”
Raymond didn’t make it difficult for her, smiling and nodding, “Alright, then I’ll co back tomorrow.”
With that, he turned and left.
Only after he left did the receptionist breathe a sigh of relief.
“Oh my god, this man is terrifying!”
Raymond exuded an aura that made people feel creepy.
Once Raymond left, ng Ye reported to Ella.
Ella acknowledged, “Got it.”
But just as ng Ye was about to turn and leave, she stopped him, “Wait a mont.”
“President Ling, what’s wrong?”
Ella thought for a mont, looked up at him, and said, “Ask Ah He to check if Raymond really left. In case he hasn’t and is lying in wait, I’ll get caught when I go out later.”
She really didn’t want to see him.
ng Ye: “I don’t think so?”
He hadn’t t Raymond, but he had heard of the na, the current head of the Lei Family, known to be ruthless.
But such a person shouldn’t do such idle things.
Ella responded, “Regardless of whether he would or not, it’s always better to be cautious.”
ng Ye: “Alright, I’ll go tell Ah He.”
Ten minutes later.
ng Ye ca back.
The first thing he said upon entering was, “President Ling, you really have a knack for foreseeing; Raymond truly hasn’t left.”
Ella was not surprised at all.
“Then what will you do when you get off work later?” ng Ye asked.
Ella replied, “Just find a set of ordinary clothes.”
“Also, ask Ah He to find an old car and park it in the parking lot.”
ng Ye didn’t quite understand, but he still turned and left to prepare.
…
At seven in the evening.
Raymond’s car had been stationed on the roadside outside HL company’s main entrance for a good two to three hours.
“Young Master Lei, could Miss Helan have already left?” The assistant looked at him, saying, “We’ve been waiting for so long and haven’t seen her co out.”
“Young Master Lei, do you need to inquire?”
Raymond opened his eyes, turned his head, and looked through the car window at HL’s main entrance.
He curled his lips and said, “Seems I underestimated her. No need, let’s go back.”
Originally, he wanted to wait by the bush for the rabbit, but it seems the rabbit was a bit sly and already ran away.
Looking at it this way, Helan Lingshuang is indeed quite interesting.
She was the first woman to refuse to see him.
The assistant responded, “Okay.”
Half an hour earlier, Ella had already left the company.
She did not go straight ho but went to the Ye Residence instead.
The Ye Residence is Ye Jiuqing’s residence in F Country; common people can’t easily enter, as the area around the residence is guarded.
Ella had been to this place several tis before, and as her car approached the residence, it was stopped.
Not because they didn’t recognize her, but because the car she was driving was too shabby, they assud it was an outsider.
When she lowered her car window, the person blocking her hesitated for a mont.
“Madam, I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you,” the man said, sowhat flustered.
Ella said, “It’s alright, I wanted to ask, is Ah Gui at the Ye Residence?”
The leading man replied, “Yes, Gui is currently inside the residence.”
The Ye Residence is quite large, taking up half of the mountainside here; besides Ye Jiuqing residing here, his subordinates live here too, as there’s a large training ground here.
Ella nodded, “Okay, got it.”
The leading man took two steps back and said to her, “Madam, please go in.”
As Ella drove into the Ye Residence, she saw Ah Gui waiting outside the door.
After she parked the car, Ah Gui ca over.
He glanced at the car she was driving, curiously asking, “Madam, why are you driving such a car?”
No wonder the people downstairs stopped her car.
Ella said, “Avoiding soone.”
“Ah?” Ah Gui asked, “Avoiding who?”
Besides avoiding her own husband, would she avoid anyone else?
“Raymond, he suddenly showed up at the company to see today,” she said.
Upon hearing this na, Ah Gui frowned.
He didn’t expect that people from the Lei Family would approach her at this ti.
“Madam, could Raymond have found out about your relationship with Young Master Jiuqing?”
“Probably not.” Ella said, “He should be looking for for another reason.”
The two walked inside while talking.
Ella continued, “Yesterday, his sister, Lei Danna, crashed into my car. I made her pay a million. I guess he’s trying to use that to find .”
Ah Gui had only received news of this today. Luckily, she was fine; otherwise, he wouldn’t know how to explain it to his master.
Ella ca today to ask him about Ye Jiuqing.
Upon entering the living room, she sat down and directly looked at him, asking, “Has your master contacted you in the past two days?”
Ah Gui shook his head, “No, Young Master Jiuqing’s trip this ti is confidential. He hasn’t contacted you, madam, probably because he’s not checking his phone.”
Ella looked at him, slightly squinting her eyes, “Are you sure he hasn’t encountered any accident?”
Ah Gui nodded, “Madam, how would I dare to lie to you? Everyone around Young Master Jiuqing is an expert; there won’t be any problem.”
Ella was silent for a mont, “Alright, I’ll trust you this ti.”
Never receiving any news from him, there was always a feeling of unease in her heart.
She hadn’t felt like this before. It was only from last night that she started having this feeling.
But Ye Jiuqing has only been gone for two days; maybe she’s just overthinking it.
Ah Gui suddenly asked, “Madam, have you had dinner yet?”
Ella shook her head, “No.”
“Then I’ll have the kitchen prepare dinner.”
“Okay, go ahead.”
“Alright, then, madam, you can rest for a while. Feel free to move around.”
“Mm.”
After Ah Gui left, Ella sat on the sofa for a bit before heading upstairs.
She had been here before, but she really hadn’t gone up to the second floor.
Previously, she always stayed on the first floor, discussed matters, and left.
Upon going up, she didn’t go there but went to the master bedroom; she always wanted to see what the style of his room was like.
However, for soone with his personality, it was probably also cold and stark.
But upon opening the door and seeing the decoration inside, she was completely stunned.
She thought she had entered the wrong room.
But if she rembered correctly, this was indeed the master bedroom.
Yet, the style inside was surprisingly warm-toned, even a bit girlish.
When she walked inside, she found the style sowhat familiar, like she had returned to her own room.
She toured the room and discovered more details.
So small items, skincare products, and the clothes in the wardrobe were all things she liked, things she usually used, and clothes from brands she liked.
To say she wasn’t moved would be a lie.
When did he prepare all this?
At this ti, Ah Gui ca up. He stood at the door and knocked.
“Co in.”
Ah Gui walked in and saw her standing in the middle of the room.
He stopped a few steps away from her, looked at her, and said, “Madam, Young Master Jiuqing had us redecorate this room half a month ago.”
“Young Master Jiuqing said that if madam wants to co to stay, she can move in anyti. He was also worried you wouldn’t feel comfortable, so he had it changed to resemble the style of the room you stay in at the Helan Family,” Ah Gui explained.
After listening, Ella realized it was pretty much what she had guessed.
Ah Gui continued with enthusiasm, “Madam, Young Master Jiuqing also had a garden built in the backyard, filled with tulips you like. Young Master Jiuqing originally planned to find a ti to bring you over, but he was interrupted by other matters.”
Previously, the Ye Residence didn’t have any flowers.
Because Ye Jiuqing didn’t like such flamboyant things.
In Ah Gui’s eyes, the Ye Residence was devoid of any liveliness before, and it felt cold, just like its owner.
But Young Master Jiuqing changed the place for madam, which is a kind of transformation.
“Moreover, many changes have been made around the Ye Residence,” Ah Gui said, “It’s getting late, and madam might not have noticed.”
When Ella first entered, she actually had this feeling, but she didn’t think much of it then.
Many things were indeed different now compared to when she used to co.
Previously, the place always felt cold when she ca, but today, entering the living room, she didn’t have that cold feeling.
She didn’t expect to see these things on this visit.
“Madam, Young Master Jiuqing has really changed a lot,” Ah Gui said.
What he said was true; he had seen all of it because he was almost always by the master’s side, and he was best able to see the master’s changes directly.
And all these changes were because of the person in front of him.
Even though he didn’t say it out loud in one sentence, he knew Ella definitely understood what he wanted to convey.
He felt he had said everything that needed to be said, so he left first.
Ella stayed alone in the room for a while.
Until soone ca to call her for dinner, she left the room.
After dinner, she decided to stay over for the night instead of going back.
“Madam, then have a good rest tonight. If you need anything, just call Mrs. Xu.”
Initially, there weren’t any won in the Ye Residence. Mrs. Xu was just called by Ah Gui, but it wasn’t her first ti here. She took care of the kitchen, and usually, when Ye Jiuqing was going to eat here, she’d co to cook and then leave without staying.
Ah Gui called her here firstly because Mrs. Xu was familiar with the place, and secondly for convenience.
Otherwise, if madam needed anything, it wouldn’t be convenient for the n.
Ella said, “Okay, I know, thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s not hard work, I’ll leave you now.”
“Mm.”
After Ah Gui left, the huge living room was left with only her.
She sat on the sofa, looking around.
Despite that, there was indeed a bit of quietness.
The Helan Family was also big, but with Aunt Tao and the others, even when she was at ho alone, she wouldn’t feel lonely.
The main reason here was the lack of life, also because the residents were few.
Even when Ye Jiuqing was here, it was just him and Ah Gui coming and going, so the place felt desolate.
It seed she had to make so changes here.
Then, she called out the Mrs. Xu that Ah Gui had brought in.
“Madam, what’s up?”
Mrs. Xu was a fifty-year-old woman who looked pretty honest and amiable.
“Mrs. Xu, is today the first ti you’ve co here?” Ella asked.
Because she had never seen her at the Ye Residence before.
She also knew that Ye Jiuqing’s Ye Residence was filled with n, nothing but n.
Mrs. Xu said, “In response to madam, no, I’ve been here making als for Young Master Ye, and occasionally coming to clean, but typically, after cooking or cleaning, I’d leave, not stay here.”
Today was her first ti staying.
Ella remarked upon hearing that, so that’s how it is.
Then, she said, “Mrs. Xu, from now on, you should stay here and find a room on the first floor to live, rather than running back and forth. Also, if you know so won of good character, please recomnd them to Ah Gui so he can select a few to help you manage this place.”
Mrs. Xu was stunned by her words.
She was considered an old acquaintance of the Ye Residence and knew Young Master Ye’s habits; he didn’t like having many people around, especially won, so…
However, before leaving, Ah Gui told her to listen to the woman in front of her as she was the mistress of the Ye Residence.
Mrs. Xu said, “Alright, madam.”
“Mm, then Mrs. Xu, tidy up and rest early.”
Mrs. Xu asked, “Madam, are there any foods you avoid or anything you’d like for breakfast tomorrow morning?”
Ella said, “I don’t have any dietary restrictions. Just prepare it as usual, not too much since I don’t eat much.”
“Alright, I understand. I’ll leave now; call if you need anything, madam.”
“Mm, okay.”
“…”
