Ye Chen woke up early the next day.
First, he ran to the market and bought fresh ingredients such as pork intestine, lean meat, pork liver, bacon, green onions, and cilantro.
Then, it was another careful session of washing, cutting, and cooking.
By the time Chen Yinuo and Youyou woke up,
the steaming hot breakfast noodles were ready.
"Papa!"
As soon as she saw Ye Chen who had just taken off his apron,
Youyou immediately rushed over.
"Hey, Youyou is good, hurry up and wash up with Mom and eat the noodles. After eating, Papa will take you to school, okay?"
Ye Chen dotingly picked up Ye Youyou and said with a hearty laugh.
"Yay, Mom, I want Papa to take me to school today!"
Ye Youyou turned her head and excitedly shouted to Chen Yinuo.
"You went to buy things back so early to cook noodles?"
After nodding blankly in response to Youyou's excitement, Chen Yinuo looked at Ye Chen with a sense of unreality and said.
"I couldn't sleep after waking up early in the morning, so I just went to the market to buy ingredients to cook breakfast. Hurry up and wash up, eat while it's hot before going to work!" Ye Chen said with a simple smile.
"Oh!"
This time, Chen Yinuo no longer refused Ye Chen's thoughtful gesture.
After washing up, the family of three gathered around the dining table and ate noodles.
"You, you gave the bank card to my Mom yesterday, do you still have money to spend?"
Her voice was a little low, and Chen Yinuo asked this question with great complexity.
"Yinuo, you don't have to worry about this, I have money to spend!" Ye Chen said.
"Can I ask, where did you get that money from? You paid off high-interest loans, and my Mom took three or four hundred thousand. What you said about finding a loophole was only three hundred thousand. You took one hundred thousand as a settlement fee for Yi Hao's matter, paid Youyou's tuition, paid off high-interest loans, and now you've given my Mom three or four hundred thousand. This is already hundreds of thousands!"
Chen Yinuo held back from saying whether it was money won from gambling.
In just over ten days, Ye Chen went from having nothing to spending hundreds of thousands.
Besides gambling, she really couldn't think of any other possibility.
"Do you think I went gambling again?" Ye Chen asked with a bitter smile.
Then, in Chen Yinuo's silence, he continued, "Do you know that the housing prices in Jinlin Mansion have soared?"
"What does this have to do with the soaring housing prices in Jinlin Mansion?" Chen Yinuo was surprised.
"Before, by chance, I learned inside information that the area around Jinlin Mansion would undergo relocation and development, so I went to Jinlin Mansion and paid the deposit for two apartments, one hundred thousand each. At that time, since no one was interested in the apartments in Jinlin Mansion, they agreed to sign a series of price guarantee agreements with me. As a result, three days later, the official announcement of the relocation and development project was released, causing the prices in Jinlin Mansion to skyrocket and making it difficult to find a single apartment. So I took those two deposit subscription agreements and sold them!"
Ye Chen explained.
After speaking, he added, "One for two million, two sold for four million!"
Little did he know that Chen Yinuo, after hearing this, was stunned as if petrified.
Using the three hundred thousand earned from finding a loophole in Guwan City, it turned into four million in just a few days?
No, that's not right..
Ye Chen also took out one hundred thousand at that time as a settlement fee for Yi Hao's assault.
In other words, if it wasn't for Yi Hao's matter at that time, wouldn't he have been able to earn an extra two million?
"If you hadn't taken out one hundred thousand that day as a settlement fee for Yi Hao's assault, then wouldn't you have been able to book one more apartment and earn an extra two million?" Chen Yinuo's voice trembled.
Two million, that was an amount she couldn't imagine.
To her, it was no different from an astronomical figure!
But Ye Chen, because he helped her brother, lost out on two million for nothing?
"That's the way it is, but it doesn't matter. The main thing is not to let Yi Hao get a criminal record. As for the money, we can earn it back slowly in the future!" Ye Chen said with a light smile.
"Then what are your plans next?" Chen Yinuo hesitated for a moment, changing her previous indifferent and stern demeanor, and asked weakly.
"How do you feel about using Wuxia Cream?" Ye Chen asked back, seemingly not answering the question.
Upon hearing Wuxia Cream,
thinking of the immediate and miraculous effects of Wuxia Cream,
Chen Yinuo again showed a look of disbelief.
"I only used it for two days, and it... it had a significant lightening and removal effect. Was that Wuxia Cream really developed by you personally?"
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Otherwise?"
Although she knew she was asking a redundant question,
after hearing Ye Chen's definite answer, Chen Yinuo's heart still surged like a tidal wave.
Because she was too clear about what such a miraculous Wuxia Cream would mean once it was launched onto the market.
Then she said, "Then do you plan to develop in the direction of producing Wuxia Cream next?"
"That's for sure! The so-called scar removal and flawlessness on the current market are just empty slogans. Those that are truly effective are very few. So once Wuxia Cream is released, it will definitely quickly occupy the entire market. How can we miss such an opportunity!" Ye Chen said confidently.
"Since you have this idea, then this stage is undoubtedly your most capital-intensive startup phase. Why did you still give my Mom three or four hundred thousand? No, I must go and get that three or four hundred thousand back for you!" Chen Yinuo became anxious.
It was as if she had forgotten that she had already completely given up hope on this marriage before.
But this is how women are.
As long as a woman still cares about the other person in her heart, as long as there is still a shred of attachment to the marriage in her heart,
Even if it's just a shred, it means there's still a chance to rekindle that seemingly long-cooled love and marriage.
No matter how deeply she has been hurt by the person she once loved most, no matter how much disappointment or even despair she has experienced, as long as she can see hope again, she will once again turn back without hesitation.
Especially an emotional person like Chen Yinuo who is raising a child. If she were truly so cold-hearted, she would have probably filed for divorce long ago, instead of dragging on the dispute until today.
It's true that she wants a divorce, but the reason for the divorce is ultimately because Ye Chen made their mother and daughter unable to see any hope. Everywhere they looked was darkness, was hell..
If a ray of light could penetrate this darkness, a light that could illuminate life and marriage, how could she let Youyou become a child of a single-parent family, and how could she want to be a single mother?
Now, Ye Chen's changes, which he couldn't fake, have already unconsciously allowed her to see a ray of light penetrating from the darkness.
"Yinuo, no need, just let Mom take that three or four hundred thousand. Like I said, just consider it compensation for the filial piety I've neglected over the years. As for the startup funds, I have a way, you don't have to worry about that!" Ye Chen quickly said.
In a few days, Sihai Group's stock will fall to the bottom.
His short-selling operation means at least another twenty million in income.
So he wasn't worried about the startup funds for building a factory to produce Wuxia Cream at all.
"Filial piety isn't done this way. In short, I will find a way to get it back!"
Chen Yinuo shook her head and said firmly.
As she spoke, she also finished the noodle soup in her bowl.
"It's getting late, you take Youyou to school, I'm going to work!"
Saying that, Chen Yinuo hurriedly got up, picked up her bag, and walked out.
"Yinuo, come back here after work tonight, don't take Youyou to your new rented apartment, okay?"
Ye Chen said to Chen Yinuo's back.
Her footsteps paused, Chen Yinuo hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded before walking out.
Ye Chen, in a great mood, almost jumped up.
"Youyou, you're going to be late, hurry up and finish eating, then Papa will take you to school!"
"Mm-hmm, okay!"
Half an hour later.
At the entrance of Zijing Kindergarten.
Ye Chen watched Youyou walk into the school and disappear from his sight before withdrawing his gaze.
This was the first time in two lives that he had taken his child to school.
Amidst a mix of emotions, an unprecedented sense of fulfillment also arose.
Just as he was about to turn and leave,
his phone rang.
"Ye Ge, are you free now? If you are, I'll come and pick you up now!"
Ye Chen looked at the time, it wasn't even eight-thirty yet.
He was speechless for a moment.
But since Zhang Jingshan had already called, he was too lazy to bother anymore.
"Okay, I just finished taking my daughter to school, I'm at the entrance of Zijing Kindergarten, come over!"
"Okay, I'll be there in twenty minutes!"
