Chapter 446: Tell My Mom, I Am Little Xiangru 1
Chen Sulan had only taken her son out for lunch, but when they returned home, she found that her large villa had vanished into thin air!
What?!
Her 1,000-square-meter mansion!
How could it disappear without a trace, leaving only a leveled patch of ground, completely covered by seawater?
Chen Sulan screamed, "What happened? What in the world happened? Where’s my home? My big mansion!"
Just as Chen Sulan was about to call the police, her husband called, furious. "Chen Sulan, who have you offended? Now all our business partners want to terminate their contracts with us, and several creditor companies are demanding immediate settlement of past payments. Our cash flow is extremely tight!"
Chen Sulan retorted angrily, "Who could I possibly offend? And what kind of tone is that to use with me?"
In Mu Continent, where women are respected, her husband dares to yell at her. Is he trying to rebel?
At this point, her husband could hardly care about being gentle or considerate.
"You still dare to say you haven’t! Go look at the trending searches; they all say your big mouth offended someone you shouldn’t have. Some big shot wants our company bankrupt within two days! When those business partners got the news, they all cut ties with us, afraid of being caught in the crossfire. Furthermore, our company’s stock price is dropping, dropping, and still dropping!"
"How could this be?"
Chen Sulan was dumbfounded.
She tried hard to recall. Today, it seemed she had only offended that little brat! That kid said he wanted her family to go bankrupt within two days. She thought he was just spouting nonsense, but could it be... It must be the Hua Family! Definitely Hua Jinse backing that kid up!
A firestorm of rage engulfing her, Chen Sulan grabbed her son and went straight to the Hua Residence to demand an explanation.
Hua Jinse thought she was crazy. Her own house was razed, and now she comes to vent on me? So, she had people throw Chen Sulan out.
Then, she had someone find out what had happened.
Ye Jingzhe’s assistant called. "Miss, at noon, His Little Highness had a run-in with Chen Sulan. Her son called the Young Master a bastard, so the Young Master declared that the Chen Family would be bankrupt within two days. However, the Young Master probably hasn’t taken action yet. As for the Chen family’s house being leveled, we’re completely clueless about that."
"Something like that happened?"
Hua Jinse was furious. Ye Jingzhe is my most cherished little nephew! This is outrageous!
Hua Jinse immediately called her secretary. "Tell all companies that cooperate with the Hua Family that from now on, they must choose between the Chen Family’s companies and the Hua Family’s. If they choose the Chen Family, they can forget about any future business dealings with our Hua Family!"
Since my little nephew already declared that the Chen Family must go bankrupt within two days, I can’t let him lose face! But who could be the other person backing him up? Crown Prince Lisao? Apart from myself, only Crown Prince Lisao adores Ye Jingzhe the most!
Hua Jinse could only think of Si Lisao.
So, under the combined pressure from Mo Yinhe and Hua Jinse, the Chen Family indeed announced bankruptcy and began liquidation within just two days.
If they hadn’t declared bankruptcy, things would have been even worse.
「A few days later」
Si Mingjing came to the Hua Residence as usual for a follow-up check-up on Lady Hua.
When she arrived at the Hua Residence, Lady Hua had already recovered her health and was looking very spirited.
By Lady Hua’s side was a little boy, quiet but with a commanding presence.
"This is my grandson, Ye Jingzhe."
Lady Hua explained to Si Mingjing, "He’s the child of my second son, who has passed away. This boy has had a hard life. My son died suddenly without telling us who the child’s mother was, only saying that the child would be called Ye Jingzhe. Presumably, the mother’s surname is Ye."
Upon seeing Ye Jingzhe, Si Mingjing’s eyes brightened slightly with a hint of surprise. "He is Ye Jingzhe?"
"Why, did you two know each other before?"
"No, I heard about this child from my son. He said Ye Jingzhe was his ’boss.’ I didn’t expect him to be a child too."
"Your son?"
Si Mingjing said, "I have a son named Gu Shurong."
Lady Hua laughed heartily. "So, it’s that rascal! He’s your son? He and our Jingzhe get along very well."
Ye Jingzhe, who usually seemed to keep others at a distance with an ethereal air, as if untouched by worldly concerns, suddenly directed his attentive gaze toward Si Mingjing.
Is this Shurong’s mother? No wonder I felt an exceptional warmth the first time I saw her. Gu Shurong’s mother is beautiful and dignified, and her medical skills are excellent too.
Ye Jingzhe felt a bit envious of Gu Shurong.
Gu Shurong called and told me his mother cured his illness. Was it this beautiful lady?
"Beautiful Auntie, thank you for curing Gu Shurong."
Si Mingjing smiled. "You’re too kind. He’s my son; it’s my duty to treat him."
Ye Jingzhe pursed his thin lips. "Regardless, thank you. I will repay you."
After taking Lady Hua’s pulse, Si Mingjing said, "Lady Hua, you’re almost fully recovered. You won’t need to take any more medicine."
At that moment, Ye Jingzhe, the Little Bingshan, asked, "It won’t relapse in the future?"
Si Mingjing replied, "You should still try to relax as much as possible. For a healthy body, a positive state of mind is most important."
"Grandma, did you hear that?" Ye Jingzhe, the Little Bingshan, spoke with feigned maturity, like a little adult. "Beautiful Auntie said mindset is most important. You shouldn’t miss Dad too much. Dad’s spirit in heaven also hopes you stay healthy every day."
Lady Hua reached out, stroking Ye Jingzhe’s little head, and said, "Good boy, Grandma will remember."
Lady Hua called the butler over and whispered something to him.
The butler nodded, withdrew, and soon returned with a small box.
Lady Hua opened the box and pushed it towards Si Mingjing. "My dear child, you’ve cured my illness. Xiaolu said he would pay the consultation fee, so I won’t compete with the younger generation. This is a small token of appreciation from an old woman like me; please don’t decline it."
Inside the exquisitely carved box was a longevity lock.
Lady Hua said, "There are two of these longevity locks. My precious grandson has one, and this one is for your Shurong. These two boys get along as well as blood brothers. I hope their friendship endures, just like these longevity locks—long and lasting."
"Thank you, Lady Hua. Then, on behalf of my Little Shurong, I accept and thank you," Si Mingjing replied.
Si Mingjing accepted the longevity lock and spent another half an hour with Lady Hua. After returning to the Bai Family, she told Mo Yinhe about Ye Jingzhe’s identity.
"I’ve known for a while," Mo Yinhe said.
Si Mingjing raised an eyebrow. "You didn’t tell me."
Mo Yinhe smiled, gesturing for her to sit down. "I took a liking to that child. His little temperament is just like mine when I was young—cast from the same mold. It’s a pity he’s not my son! If Xiaobai had even a bit of that kid’s demeanor, I’d stop hitting him."
Si Mingjing laughed and reached out to give Mo Yinhe a playful slap. "That child clearly knows how to endure silently. Do you really want your son to learn endurance and tenacity at such a young age? Only children who lack parental affection become that cold and distant, keeping everyone at arm’s length."
