“Is your goal that simple?”
Xu Wanghai couldn’t believe his own ears.
“What else could it be?” Ye Feng scoffed.
“Don’t let me find out that you’re coveting the Xu family’s assets. That’s not something you should touch.”
Xu Wanghai warmed fiercely.
“Don’t worry, I don’t care about the Xu family’s meager assets,” Ye Feng replied indifferently.
“That’s for the best. What about Xu Yaqing? She doesn’t even dare to show her face now?”
“Yaqing has already gone out.”
Soon, Old Master Xu left with Xu Baoguo and Xu Tian.
“Ye Feng, have you taken the wrong medicine recently? You’re so fierce that you even dare to talk back to the Old Master?!” Song Qian asked in disbelief.
Ye Feng smiled and walked into the kitchen without answering. Xu Yaqing was coming back soon. It was time to cook.
After Xu Yaqing came back, Song Qian told her everything about what happened when Xu Wanghai came.
“Was Ye Feng really that unyielding?”
Xu Yaqing looked at her mother in disbelief.
“Of course. What do you think happened to our family’s useless trash today? I haven’t seen anyone dare to speak to the Old Master like that in years!” Song Qian exclaimed.
“I told you Ye Feng changed,” Xu Yaqing said proudly.
“What do you think happened to him? Why did he become like this?” Song Qian asked in confusion.
“I don’t know either, but it’s a good thing for us.”
Xu Yaqing knew that Ye Feng’s change was only because she said that she didn’t want to be bullied anymore. However, these were all secrets in her heart, and she didn’t want others to know.
“That’s true. That old man has been scowling every day. Today, he has finally suffered,” Song Qian said with satisfaction. She couldn’t stand Xu Wanghai’s bias towards Xu Tian.
“He’s still our father. Isn’t this bad?” Xu Liang asked weakly from the side.
“What do you mean bad? You treat him as your biological father, but does he treat you like a son? What does he treat Eldest Brother’s family like? What does he treat our family like? You’re even speaking up for him!”
Song Qian was fine at first, but after hearing Xu Liang’s cowardly words, she exploded.
“Mom, don’t be angry anymore. I believe that Grandpa won’t target our family like that anymore. It’s very important for Yaqing to be in charge of this project. In the future, she’ll be on par with Xu Tian in the company, so don’t be angry anymore. Everything is fine now.”
Ye Feng walked out of the kitchen with a plate of food and tried to persuade Song Qian.
“Really?”
“Of course it’s true. Soon, you’ll become a rich madam.”
Xu Yaqing also came over to help.
“Look at you, you’re already so old, but you still have to depend on your daughter!” Song Qian said to Xu Liang with disappointment.
The next day.
In the Xu family villa, Xu Wanghai arranged a celebration party for Xu Yaqing.
All 30 members of the Xu family were present.
Xu Yaqing first summarized and reported the progress with the cooperation with Qingfeng Pharmaceuticals at the celebration party.
‘Then, Xu Wanghai stood up and praised Xu Yaqing.
After Xu Wanghai finished speaking, everyone started eating.
Xu Yaqing, Ye Feng, Xu Tian, and the other descendants of the Xu family sat together.
The group of youngsters were all talking loudly, toasting each other, talking about all sorts of topics.
Xu Yaqing and Ye Feng did not say anything. Both of them were eating with their heads lowered.
“Do you not have food at home? And that trash Ye Feng, he eats like a beggar.”
“That’s right. If it’s really difficult, let us know. If there’s nothing else, we can still give you a few thousand yuan for a meal.”
Xu Yanyan and Xu Tian looked at Ye Feng who was wolfing down his food and started mocking him.
“That’s right, that’s right. Let us know if you have any financial difficulties. We’re all relatives, we’ll help you.”
The others echoed.
“It tums out that a meal from you guys costs thousands of yuan. You guys are so rich. I guess I’ll have to ask Grandpa if he eats like this too. I’ll also remind Grandpa to check the company’s accounts.”
After Ye Feng swallowed the food in his mouth, he looked at the others and spoke.
The rest of them turned pale and didn’t dare to say another word. They were all using the company’s money, and Xu Tian was in charge of the company’s finances. They were all protected by him.
This kind of matter could not be investigated. The few of them wisely chose to shut up.
At the same time, Old Master Xu asked someone to bring a projector and watch the Yunlan Court villa auction together.
“Who do you think will win this auction?”
“I don’t know, but they should be from one of those aristocratic families.”
“I think it might be taken away by outsiders,” Xu Yanyan said.
“Why do you feel that way?”
He suddenly felt that Xu Yanyan seemed to know something.
“Hmph, why don’t you think about it? Recently, people from one of the Ye families from the capital came to our house to give me a betrothal gift. Then, another Ye family from the capital opened a company in Jiang Zhong. This means that the two Ye families from the capital want to stay in Jiang Zhong.”
“Which part of Jiang Zhong is most suitable for those wealthy families? Yunlan Court, of course.”
“Say, you all have the surname Ye. Why is the difference so huge?”
Ye Feng smiled and didn’t say anything, yet he heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.
It seemed that the impression of him being a good-for-nothing had been deeply ingrained in their minds all these years.
As they spoke, the auction began.
Everyone held their breaths as they watched the auction.
“Now, a Yunlan Court villa will be auctioned.
Tam the auctioneer for this auction. Let me introduce this villa. This villa is numbered 001. The previous owner was the richest man in the province, Hai Dafu.
This villa is located at the highest point of the villa district. It’s located on the mountainside of Mount Yunlan and its courtyard is next to Lake Yunlan. It’s the best location in Yunlan Court.
The starting price is 30 million. Now, if anyone is interested, please begin the bidding.”
This starting price shocked everyone watching.
“The starting price is 30 million. I’m afraid it will take 70 to 80 million to get it,” Xu Wanghai muttered to himself.
“50 million.”
A tycoon raised his card.
“51 million!”
“60 million!”
“65 million.”
Every time a number appeared, another higher price would immediately replace it.
Only when the price reached 80 million did the rate of increase slow down. Only a few people were left bidding.
“90 million!”
‘When this number appeared, the others also gave up.
At this moment, a person wearing a mask stood up.
“100 million!”
In an instant, everyone in the auction hall and those watching the live broadcast were stunned.
They had more or less seen the people who were auctioning before, but they had never seen this person who could take out a hundred million yuan.
“Alright! This gentleman bids 100 million. Anyone else?”
‘The auctioneer looked around and saw that no one was raising the price anymore.
“100 million going once.
100 million going twice.
100 million going thrice.
Let us congratulate this masked mysterious buyer for obtaining this villa.”
Everyone in the Xu family was shocked, and Xu Wanghai was completely taken aback.
Xu Wanghai felt that he would never be able to live in a Yunlan Court villa in his lifetime. The Xu family had over a billion yuan in assets, but their liquid capital was only slightly more than a hundred million yuan. Now, a villa was asking for a hundred million yuan. It seemed that he had no fate with the
Yunlan Court villas…
