Chapter 069 Uncle Can Get You One
"Brother Ye, is Lanyang Wine meeting its doom for real?"
In the red Panamera,
Ye Chen and Ye Youyou seated in the back row,
Zhang Jingshan, in the driver's seat, looking at the rearview mirror,
couldn't help but ask.
"Just a hunch!" Ye Chen said.
Little did he know that the word "hunch" almost made Zhang Jingshan go nuts again.
Hunch again. Is this what it's all about?
But he knew that for an enigma like Ye Chen, he could only try to leave no stones unturned to no avail.
At the beginning, he still believed in Ye Chen's "weird feelings".
Even those "feelings" are absurd enough already.
But gradually, he stopped attributing those uncanny occurrences to his "feelings".
After all, the jade in the stone cannot be predicted by just "the feelings".
However, the more events like this presented themselves, the more curious he grew about Ye Chen.
Ye Chen became even more inexplicably mystical to him,
hence his loyalty to the point of blind obedience.
"Brother Ye, if I didn't terminate the contract and performed it to the end, what would happen?" Zhang Jingshan asked.
"In that case, your Yunshan Network Company will surely break down!" Ye Chen paused and replied.
Swish-!
Hearing what he said,
Zhang Jingshan instantly broke into a cold sweat.
"It won't take long. Let's wait and see!" Ye Chen added.
Although he could pass on his prediction to dissuade people from buying wine from Lanyang Wine to avoid wine-induced deaths,
there was no way he could produce any actual evidence to prove it at all. So, even if he said it, would anyone believe him?
After all, he only learned it from the news in his previous life after the Lanyang Wine incident.
Everything considered, he couldn't convince people. Instead, he may have to face a lawsuit from Lanyang Wine Industry if he chose to tell the truth.
So, he couldn't be selfless for this time.
Besides, the most important point was that his rebirth had been like the incarnation of the butterfly in the Pacific Ocean. As long as he gently flapped his wings, countless storms might ensue.
So, before he could completely gain a firm foothold, helping others was not his priority. He had to be selfish...
Maybe someday in the future he could come to the rescue of thousands of people who were suffering.
But not now.
"Brother Ye, if it went as you predicted this time, I would be offering incense on the 1st and 15th day of the first lunar year, and put you on pedestal!"
Ignorant of the fact that Ye Chen's heart was already entangled with all kinds of thoughts, Zhang Jingshan joked with a smile.
"On the altar? Three kinds of meat and three glasses of wine along with three kneels and nine kowtows? The way you do for dead people?" Ye Chen rolled his eyes.
"Uh, Brother Ye.. Just kidding, kidding!" Zhang Jingshan smiled awkwardly.
At this time,
Ye Youyou in the back seat suddenly asked, "Dad, when will we get a car like Uncle Zhang's!"
Although the little girl did not envy those children with cars at home,
but that did not stand in the way of her desire for it.
Well... You know, this was much better than Mommy's little scooter!
Moreover, Uncle Zhang's car was even more stunning than the ones she had ever been in before.
"Youyou, uncle can get you one!"
Though it's just childish talking, Zhang Jingshan jumped at the chance to be nice.
"No, I want it from my dad!" Ye Youyou immediately shook her head seriously.
"OK, in a few days, dad will take Youyou and mom to buy one!" Ye Chen promised with a smile.
That was already part of his plan.
But the money was still in the stock market, so he prepared get a car after receiving the income from hie operation in Sihai Group.
"Dad, really? Can we have a car?"
Ye Youyou widened her eyes in surprise.
However, her enthusiasm became dampened the next moment. "Dad, I don't want it anymore. Let's buy one when Youyou grows up. As mommy told Youyou, we don't have much money right now. And if we buy a car, we won't be able to afford the rent, tuition fees, and even food. That way, Youyou will have no place to live, no school to go to, no food to eat. I don't want that! Please don't buy it."
Ye Chen, who was still smiling at first, after hearing Youyou's worries,
was overwhelmed by indescribable sadness,
followed by the heart-wrenching frustration.
He knew that what Chen Yinuo said was already a nicer version of their horrible conditions for Youyou.
In the past, they had been struggling to stay fed. And had already fallen into the poor dilemma of having no money for tuition, rent, and food...
Buying a car was way out of their reach and impractical.
Yinuo was just trying to make it easier for the children to accept it.
Thinking of the past few years when he had been acting like a total jerk, never taking any responsibility of a husband and a father, Ye Chen wanted to slap himself hard in the face.
If he tried a little harder to make life better, instead of being a good-for-nothing and hopeless gambler, together with Yinuo who had always been working her head off, Youyou would never end up worrying those things at such an age.
"Brother Ye, I happen to have a classmate who runs a 4S shop. How about I get you a top-quality Panamera? It's no big deal!"
Hearing Ye Youyou's concerns which seemed so age inappropriate, for some reason, Zhang Jingshan also went a bit misty. So, he couldn't help looking at Ye Chen in the rearview mirror and offering to get one for them.
He was clear that Ye Chen was not short of money for that now, but this was the expression of his gratitude.
After all, he owed so much to Ye Chen.
"Stop it. Do you think I need the money from you for a car?" Ye Chen shook his head and refused with a smile.
Then he added. "There will be an auto show at the convention center in a few days, right? I'll go check it out!"
After that, he started to cheer Youyou up. "Youyou, what your mother said is true in the past. You see, back then she had to save money for Youyou to go to school, so she couldn't buy it. But now we've saved enough money. We can afford a car and still have adequate money for you to go to school. And you know what, we can even get a new house!"
"Dad, are you serious? We can buy a car and go live in a new house. For real?"
A child would believe everything her parents told her. So, hearing Ye Chen's words, the little girl suddenly rejoiced.
"Of course, it is. But we will have to wait a few more days!" Ye Chen smiled and patted Yunyou's head.
"Alright! Awesome! Dad, when we do get a car, Dad will take Youyou to many places by it. I mean many, many places!"
In the driver's seat,
watching Ye Chen chatting with Ye Youyou's,
and feeling the sincere laughter from the bottom of their hearts,
Lao Zhang suddenly wanted to start his own family.
He wanted to be a dad too.
Well, the first child should be a daughter.
just as cute as Youyou...
Oh no, it would better to have a son the first time.
Maybe we could marry into Ye Chen's family.
It was a blessing for him that Ye Chen had no idea what he's been dreaming about his daughter,
or he could get slapped in the face right away.
Youyou was four or five years old, and this guy harbors such a shameless idea?
