283: Chapter 278: Mother-in-law Chooses a Son-in-law 283: Chapter 278: Mother-in-law Chooses a Son-in-law Yun Xinyan sat listlessly in the chair, feeling as though her body had been hollowed out.
Since graduating from college, she had poured all her energy into the family business.
Yun Corporation was engaged in the high-tech industry, and its products reached thousands of households in Jiangcheng City, bringing countless conveniences to the lives of ordinary people.
So why did she always encounter various difficulties?
Could it be that heaven envied the truly talented?
Why did it seem that the wicked always had it easy while she struggled at every turn?
The world was indeed too unfair.
Yun Xinyan couldn’t understand why.
In fact, she did understand that the current stock market was like the vast ocean, and her 20 million was not even a pebble to make a ripple.
The Wang Family had beco one of the top families in the province with vast assets and a rich heritage.
To them, 20 million was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
Although Yun Corporation had officially joined forces with the other three major families, it was still no more than a clown hopping between juggernauts.
As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer.
To think that Yun Corporation aid to be the beneficiary fisherman in such a situation, the hardship involved was imaginable.
“The road ahead is long, fate is cruel, autumn of survival or demise!”
Yun Xinyan sighed and suddenly rembered the three major families.
Her company was in trouble, and they couldn’t just stand by and watch.
She imdiately called the contact person for the three major families in the province.
“I’m sorry, the number you have dialed is powered off.
Please try again later.”
It seed the three major families had received the news in advance and had turned off their phones, clearly indicating they didn’t want to deal with her.
“These bastards!” Yun Xinyan slamd her fist on the table in anger.
…
Ye Tian drove the nanny car to the Jaguar 4S shop, holding a bank card for the insurance claim, and directly purchased two Jaguar X models, each priced above 1 million, 3.0 supercharged, 340 horsepower.
Although not as good as the super sports car McLaren, it far surpassed rcedes-Benz and BMW.
Since it was impossible to drive two cars at the sa ti, Ye Tian called Gu Lei to co over and act as a temporary driver.
Hearing that he could drive a Jaguar, the young man was thrilled and even dressed up in a suit, bouncing excitedly and beaming with joy.
“Why are you wearing a suit?
Soone might mistake you for my driver.” Ye Tian joked.
“It’s a Jaguar, a super sports car, of course, I had to dress up appropriately, otherwise, I wouldn’t do justice to such a good car.”
Gu Lei was dressed in a black suit with a red tie, shiny leather shoes, and a pair of big black sunglasses, the typical outfit of a bodyguard who doubles as a driver.
Ye Tian smiled faintly and went to handle the paynt procedure, which was quickly completed.
“Let’s go, let this car god take you for a spin around Longxi Mountain.” Ye Tian got into the first Jaguar X.
Gu Lei was overjoyed.
Ye Tian turned the key and started the Jaguar, listening to the unfamiliar engine sound and felt strange, thinking to himself how much better his 7-million McLaren was.
This Jaguar simply wasn’t in the sa league.
“The vast horizon is my love, stepping under the continuous Qingshan mountains…”
Just as he was about to start the car, his phone suddenly rang.
Ye Tian looked down to see it was a call from Liu Fei’er.
At this ti, she was calling, clearly, sothing was up.
“Little Feifei, mwah, what’s up?
Miss already?” Ye Tian said with a cheeky smile.
On the other end of the line, Liu Fei’er whispered, “Brother Ye, do you have ti?” She seed afraid of being overheard, clearly making the call in secret.
“I’ve got ti, of course, I have ti.
When a great beauty calls, even if I didn’t, I would make ti, hehe.” Ye Tian was all jokes.
“Then could you co over to my place?
I need a favor, could you, could you, um, could you…” Liu Fei’er hesitated, seemingly too embarrassed to continue.
“Could you what?
Just say it, who are we to each other?
I’ve seen every inch of you, just haven’t gone ‘bam bam bam’, what’s there to be embarrassed about?” Ye Tian was never serious.
Liu Fei’er fell silent, clearly shy beyond words, but then she mustered the courage to say, “Could you co to my place and pretend to be my boyfriend?
My mom insists on matchmaking and the guy has already arrived.
If you don’t co soon, I’ll just, I’ll just, sob sob.”
“Who dares to snatch my little Feifei?
I’ll wipe him out, just wait.” Ye Tian thought there was no need to pretend to be her boyfriend, considering how handso, suave, and dashing he was, clearly, he was the real boyfriend.
Why pretend?
He imdiately started the car, and the Jaguar shot out, quickly joining the main road.
Gu Lei followed closely behind, always keeping near Big Brother Ye.
The two Jaguars sped down the road; Ye Tian drove masterfully, dispatching anyone in his way, while Gu Lei’s skills were average, but it was easy to overtake others with Ye Tian clearing the path ahead.
Soon, they arrived at Liu Fei’er’s ho.
The old neighborhood, the epito of filth and disorder, was littered with cat and dog feces everywhere, various plastic bags on the ground, sewers steaming with white smoke, a stench hanging in the air.
The Jaguars parked in front of Liu Fei’er’s building, and the sharp Ye Tian imdiately noticed sothing.
“There’s a BMW in this kind of place?” Ye Tian got out of the car to take a look, “And it’s a Brilliance BMW at that, buying a BMW that’s a knockoff version, this car owner is quite the thinker, a classic case of trying to appear more affluent than they are.”
Despite his sarcasm, Ye Tian didn’t give it much thought.
“Big Brother Ye, weren’t we going to Longxi Mountain?
Why are we here?
This place is dirty and ssy, what could possibly be good here?” Gu Lei was puzzled.
Ye Tian didn’t explain, just said, “Don’t ask so many questions, follow upstairs.
Act according to my signals, got it?”
“Oh, I got it,” Gu Lei said, sowhat confused, following behind Ye Tian and going upstairs.
When they arrived at Liu Feier’s door, they could hear people chatting inside, and the conversation was lively.
Words such as “marriage,” “investnt,” “financial managent,” and “making big money” could be faintly made out.
Knock, knock, knock!
Ye Tian knocked on the door.
The door opened, and the person who opened it was Liu Feier’s mother.
She had seen Ye Tian before and rembered that back then, he was just a security guard.
Seeing him again now, still in jeans and sneakers, she didn’t think he had much chance of getting promoted or making a fortune, so she didn’t show a good expression.
“Whom are you looking for?” Liu Feier’s mother, Zhang Lan, asked coldly.
Liu Feier’s family used to be in a decent situation.
But recently, Liu Feier’s father lost everything in gambling, and their family’s circumstances had weakened.
Now, Liu Feier’s mother was all about money, hoping her daughter could marry into a good family.
Seeing Ye Tian, who was just a security guard, she was not pleased.
Ye Tian: “Auntie, I’m looking for Feier.”
“Feier isn’t ho, you should leave,” Liu’s mother was about to close the door, but she was stopped by a pair of delicate hands.
Liu Feier opened the door: “Big Brother Ye, please co in quickly.
My mother is just like that, you mustn’t take it to heart.”
Ye Tian chuckled, glanced at Liu’s mother, and said, “How could I dare?”
Gu Lei also ca in, only to notice when he did that there was a guest in Liu Feier’s ho—a refined-looking pretty boy with golden glasses and a middle-parted hairstyle that made him look quite learned.
The man with glasses frowned when he saw Ye Tian and Gu Lei co in, clearly unwelcoming.
Fearing his displeasure would be noticeable, he lowered his head pretending to drink tea, stealing glances occasionally.
Ye Tian casually sat on the sofa, pushing the man with glasses to one side, took the tea from his hands, and refilled it for himself without hesitation.
With nowhere to sit, Gu Lei could only stand behind Ye Tian.
Liu Feier also stood by Ye Tian’s side, looking like a little wife.
Liu’s mother, annoyed, tugged at her, saying, “Co and sit over here; look how good Mr.
Liu’s conditions are.
He works at a financial company and makes over 5,000 a month.
He’s already a team leader, and he’s sure to beco a manager, a general manager eventually.
He has even introduced to a very profitable financial project—it’s much more promising than spending your life with a re security guard.”
“Mom, stop it,” Liu Feier frowned, clearly uninterested in the man with glasses.
Liu’s mother continued: “Mr.
Liu is a fine young man.
The financial project he recomnded to last ti made over 3,000.
I’m the one who paid for our water and electricity bills.
If it were up to that good-for-nothing father of yours, we might as well be waiting to starve.”
Liu Feier’s face turned ashen.
The man with glasses coughed and said, “Auntie Liu, I think I’ll go now.”
“No, no, no, don’t go.
Stay for dinner.
If anyone should go, it’s not you.” Liu’s mother looked at Ye Tian, thinking to herself how thick-skinned he was.
After all that, how could he not leave?
Liu’s mother deliberately asked, “Mr.
Liu, what car did you say you drove?
I can’t seem to rember; could you ntion it again?”
She wanted to provoke Ye Tian, hoping to compel him to withdraw so that he would keep his distance from Feier in the future.
The man with glasses straightened his chest, arrogant, and cast a contemptuous look at Ye Tian: “BMW.”
As he spoke, he took out car keys from his pocket and slamd them on the coffee table, looking as proud as if he could touch the sky.
Ye Tian patted the man’s shoulder and asked, “Bro, where do you work?
Climbing up to team leader isn’t bad at all; got yourself a BMW.
Haha, even if it’s a Brilliance BMW, it’s still a BMW.”
“Well, it’s better than being a security guard,” he replied.
Pain shot through the man’s shoulder, but in front of a beautiful woman, he had to bear it.
He cursed internally, thinking Ye Tian was his grandson—how dared the grandson hit his grandpa.
Sooner or later he would face divine retribution.
“What do you an ‘it’s better than being a security guard’?” Gu Lei couldn’t stand that remark and retorted, “Are you looking down on security guards, huh?
Believe it or not, I can punch you into a state where you won’t be able to take care of yourself!”
Seeing Gu Lei’s clenched fist, the man with glasses jumped back in fright, quickly finding refuge behind Liu’s mother.
Liu Feier shook her head secretly, looking down on him even more.
Liu’s mother stood up imdiately: “Who are you?
Wanting to fight people?”
Just as Gu Lei was about to respond, Ye Tian chuckled and said, “Xiao Gu is my driver.
Auntie Liu, if you have sothing to say, say it to .”
“Driver?” Liu’s mother’s eyes lit up: “When did you get a driver?”
Ye Tian laughed: “A few months ago, the company promoted to the head of the security departnt.
I didn’t really want the position, it’s not that interesting, and you don’t make a lot of money.
Plus, it’s all headaches every day.”
The man with glasses frowned imdiately; a departnt head was a much bigger deal than a team leader.
Liu’s mother smiled broadly and asked, “How big a post is the head of the security departnt?
How much money can you make a month?”
Ye Tian shrugged casually, “It’s not really a high position, just the head of security, heh.”
Gu Lei explained: “The head of the security departnt is part of the company’s senior managent.
He has a monthly salary of 50,000, plus dical and social insurance, a year-end bonus of 100,000, and the lowest bonus is always six figures.”
Liu’s mother’s eyes widened in shock.
“My goodness, a monthly salary of 50,000, a year-end bonus of 100,000, and a six-figure bonus!”
She was utterly astounded.
