Chapter 605 Someone in High Spirits
Ye Shenge saw her older brother and sister-in-law three days later. Since they couldn't return to their maiden home, they planned to have a simple meal at her place as a formality.
Seeing her brother in high spirits, Ye Shenge was genuinely happy for him. But seeing her dejected sister-in-law, she quickly asked Aunt Zhen to stew a nourishing soup.
She was quite pitiful, to encounter a bachelor who had lived two lives. And their household didn't even have anyone to cook. If they relied on her brother, he would starve the person to death.
"Sister-in-law, shall I send over a cook for you? That way, you won't have to work so hard."
"No need, no need. Your brother is busy every day and rarely comes home. Once I start school, I'll eat at school during lunchtime. Keeping someone at home wouldn't be very useful."
"There's no need to work so hard. Anyway, please don't save money for my brother."
"I understand, I'll learn to adapt."
Ye Shenge didn't try to persuade her further. After all, everyone has their own habits. She would only remind her and not interfere too much.
Mother Ye had also not left, waiting to spend more time with her daughter-in-law. Her daughter had mentioned more than once that she was an unqualified mother. If she didn't change, it would be unacceptable.
Ye Muen went to his brother-in-law's study. His proud demeanor made some people uncomfortable. Why show off? Didn't everyone go through that phase?
"How is it? Know the bliss of married life now, right?"
"Not bad, I should have gotten married earlier."
"If you had married earlier, you wouldn't have met your wife. Fate is very important."
Ye Muen didn't respond. It was quite something to finally meet his fate at over thirty in this life.
"By the way, I heard someone impersonated Chen Xi. How's the investigation going? Do you need me to step in?"
"So far, it's been found that this person has been appearing in Chenghai City with Chen Xi's face for half a year. You know his focus has been there for the past two years. What's most audacious is that he appeared openly right after Chen Xi left, and he's very familiar with Chen Xi's habits."
"So what has he been doing?"
"Heh, sleeping with women, especially rich ones, and taking away some valuables."
"So he's a thief. I'm very curious now whether that face is real or a fake skin. The Bai Li family's secret techniques are truly widespread."
Zi Yisheng shook his head and tossed a box of cigarettes to his brother-in-law.
"I don't smoke. Shenge said that if we plan to have children, we need to quit early, otherwise, we won't have smart and clever ones."
"Hahahaha, so you've reached this point too. It's on the agenda so soon?"
"If we're married, not having children is crazy, isn't it? Besides, our family is rich and has people, so we're not afraid of raising a child."
"It's a shame we can only have one now. We missed the good timing."
"One is enough. There are so many children in the family. Do you think the Bai Li family is likely involved?"
"Not very likely. The Bai Li family would raise someone to spread their seeds everywhere just to propagate their bloodline?"
Ye Muen decided not to think about it anymore. Even if they were from the Bai Li family, there was no need to search everywhere like before. Rats in the gutter are hard to catch. It's better to wait for him to reveal himself.
"Alright, if you need anything, just say so."
"Yes, everyone is in position. As soon as he appears, he won't be able to escape."
Both of them were not interested in discussing the Bai Li family. Everything was stable now, and the situation was in their control. What waves could a little trickery stir up?
Qu Huanhuan felt embarrassed by her mother-in-law's gaze, as she kept urging her to eat. She hadn't been like this before.
Ye Shenge also found it amusing. Asking her mother to care more for her daughter-in-law wasn't supposed to be like this.
"Mom, when you were busy outside, did you meet any good girls? These past few days, I've been hounded by my three aunties, saying that after dealing with my older brother's matters, they should worry about my cousins."
"Who has the time to look for girls? They aren't busy every day, so why don't they worry about themselves? You don't even leave the house every day, so how can you find people for them? Honestly!"
Mother Ye peeled another orange for her daughter-in-law. Eating more fruit was good for the skin.
"Also, look at Asen and the others. They quietly brought their wives home one by one. So, finding a wife is a skill men inherently possess. You can't force a cow to drink if it doesn't want to."
Mother Ye didn't worry about her nephews at all, always advocating for letting things take their course.
Qu Huanhuan secretly touched her stomach. She probably wouldn't even need to eat lunch.
"By the way, Huanhuan, let's not have a child right after getting married. Don't rush because Mu En is getting older.
You're still in school. University only happens once, but you can have children anytime. Once you're pregnant, you'll have to take leave for at least several months.
Even if the whole family helps you take care of it, the woman will still be the most concerned. So, finish what you need to do first. Men can still have children in their seventies or eighties, so let him wait."
"Uh, okay. Mu En has never mentioned this."
Ye Shenge suppressed a smile. Her brother had mentioned it to her, saying it would be best to complete the important life events within the next one or two years to make things easier.
"You'll graduate in two years, so there's still time."
"Okay, I'll talk to Mu En when I get back."
Qu Huanhuan truly felt very lucky. Not only was her husband considerate, but her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were also very understanding. How many lifetimes had she cultivated to deserve this?
"Shenge, I'm planning to hand over the jewelry company. Yu Lei is picking things up quickly. He only needs two more people to assist him to be able to manage it independently."
"Alright, I saw your reports this month, and they were very good."
"Yes, everything is stable within the jewelry company now, and we can start formal promotion. The accumulated rough stones are enough to last for one or two years. The people sent out to find suppliers have also brought back contracts, all signed for ten years."
"That's good. It's been delayed for so long, and we haven't made any money yet."
Mother Ye waved her hand carelessly. She loved to build a solid foundation when doing business. Even if she lost money in the early stages, the later stages would be stable. Otherwise, it would truly be a waste.
"You primarily need to focus on raw material supply. Supply is one aspect, but self-production is more important."
"I saw in Yu Lei's report that two more jade mines have been purchased, but we can't get involved in diamonds anymore."
"We couldn't get involved in diamonds ten years ago, let alone now. If only we hadn't been restricted from going out before, we could have at least secured a piece..."
Qu Huanhuan listened attentively. She had majored in economics in college, so she was very interested in their conversation and could understand it.
Mother Ye glanced at her daughter-in-law and suddenly slapped her thigh.
"I just realized that the women in our family will all be involved in business in the future. Relying on men's salaries will lead to starvation.
Huanhuan, be more assertive in the future. If Mu En doesn't listen, deduct his allowance."
Ye Muen and Zi Yisheng happened to walk into the living room and exchanged glances upon hearing their mother's words.
"I'm talking about you. My salary is the highest."
"You're talking nonsense, my salary isn't low either."
