Chapter 132: Perfunctory

  Xie Ji smiled slightly and nodded, saying: "Yes, our master intends to invite Master Ye to our mansion for a chat. I don't know if Master has time?"

  Ye Chen smiled slightly, he had already guessed the other person's intention, estimated to be buying himself off, letting him help them speak to Lan Kuangfeng, in order to get his support, in short, it was to bribe him.

  Ye Chen thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled slightly, saying: "I'm afraid it won't work today, if you can wait for a few more days!"

  Xie Ji Yi heard that Ye Chen was busy and hastily said: "I don't know, Young Master Ye, what's the matter? Maybe our Xie family can help out a bit!"

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Nothing much, just that my family is going to build a new mansion, I've already found the right place, they're going to take a look tonight, so I have to be there, what do you think? In a few days, I'll definitely come visit you in person!"

  "Heh heh, since that's the case, I won't bother Young Master Ye anymore. Another day, I'll personally come to visit!"

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and nodded, then turned around and left directly towards the outside of the city.

  Xie Ji watched Ye Chen's back as he walked away, furrowed his brow, and then hastily headed in the direction of his own home.

  "Brother, that person just invited you, why didn't you go? One look and he's giving gifts! He gives you gifts and you still don't want them!" Ye Tong said to Ye Chen in confusion.

  "You little money grubber!" Ye Chen didn't expect Ye Tong to say something like that, and he helplessly ruffled Ye Tong's hair, saying.

  "What's wrong, aren't you a money lover?" Liu Yuer looked at Ye Chen's appearance and smiled lightly.

  Upon hearing this, Ye Chen smiled slightly and said to Liu Yu'er: "Yu'er, you said you're the worm in my stomach! How did you guess it?"

  "Hmph, you just told him that to let him know that the Guan family has already found you. If they want your help, they should show some sincerity! But didn't you already agree to help the Guan family?" Liu Yuer smiled lightly and said to Ye Chen.

  Ye Chen burst out laughing and said: "I agreed to help the Guan family with their words, I've done that. As for this so-called Xie family, we'll talk about it later!"

  "Brother, you're so clever!" Ye Tong said with sparkling eyes as he listened to Ye Chen's words.

  Ye Chen listened to Ye Tong's words and was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "That's right! Something that's delivered to your doorstep, you'd be a fool not to want it!"

  Liu Yuer listened to the conversation between the brother and sister, helplessly shook her head, and secretly thought: Who would say they are not biological siblings, I'd believe it!

  ........

  In the Xie family mansion, Xie Ji bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man sitting above and said: "Master of the house, Ye Chen's intention is obvious. Only if we give him something better than what the Gou family has, he will help us speak up at that time!"

  The middle-aged man in front of him was actually the master of the Xie family, Xie Xu!

  Xie Xu listened to Xie Ji's words, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and after a moment of thought, he said: "Old Xie, I'll leave this matter to you to handle!"

  "I understand, old slave!" Xie Jiguang bowed respectfully and continued: "I know that he is currently preparing to build a mansion. Our family happens to have three stores under our name that specialize in selling high-quality furniture. I was thinking, should we give him a set for free?"

  "A set?" Xie Xu furrowed his brow slightly and said, "Isn't this a bit too much? In order to get the Ou Yang family's help, we've already spent quite a bit of money!"

  "Master, I think that if we spend this money now, the return will surely be huge! Once Ye Chen is willing to help us gain the support of the city master, we will definitely get most of the shops from the Gong family. At that time, these things we sent out will come back quickly! You know, the Gong family has directly gifted him a mansion this time! If we send too little, it's not useful after all. After all, this change is different from before!"

  Xie Xu listened to Xie Ji's words, pondered for a moment, then suddenly stood up, slammed the table and said fiercely: "Good! You go contact him! Try to get him to speak for us!"

  "Understood!" Xie Ji responded and continued: "Then I'll go down first!"

  "Ah!"

  ..........

  At this time, Ye Chen and the other two also slowly returned home.

  "Dad, Mom, we're back!"

  Ye Tong was already over sixteen years old, but he still rushed into the house with a smile on his face like a child.

  Ye Chen and Liu Yuer followed behind, looking at Ye Tong's appearance, helplessly shook their heads, and then hurriedly caught up.

  "Who are you?"

  Ye Chen and Liu Yuer hadn't reached the door yet when they heard Ye Tong's words coming from inside, immediately furrowing their brows, they hastily rushed towards the inner courtyard.

  Ye Chen stepped into the courtyard, looking at the few people standing in the middle of the yard. His heart, which had just been lifted by Ye Tong, sank again. He immediately walked forward with a smile on his face and said softly, "Brother Qun San!"

  Yes, these people in the courtyard are indeed members of the Qun family.

  Qun San saw Ye Chen return, his face lit up with joy. In the afternoon, his subordinates had inquired about news outside and he had already learned that Ye Chen had gone to the City Master's Mansion, so he came early to wait for Ye Chen's return.

  Qun San smiled slightly and said, "Ye brother, you're back! My eldest brother and second brother are currently following your parents to survey the terrain outside. They've been gone for a while now, but I estimate they'll be back soon!"

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and nodded, saying: "Thanks, Third Brother!"

  "Haha, unfortunately, unfortunately!" The third brother laughed and continued with some embarrassment: "I don't know, it's our brothers' matter..."

  Ye Chen had already guessed that the third elder would ask about this matter, after all, in the Blue Rain City, the Ye family was currently also one of the top three families, and there were certainly many scouts outside, so it was impossible to keep his visit to the city lord's mansion a secret.

  Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Third Brother Qun, you really are an impatient one! I've already spoken to the City Master about this matter. However, he didn't give me a definite answer, only telling me that he remembered it!"

  "Really?" The crowd of three heard Ye Chen say that he had already said it, and the city master, although not responding positively, said to remember, which was already a sign that they had gotten the city master's support.

  Ye Chen smiled and nodded slightly.

  Qun San Yi Xi hastily pulled up Ye Chen's hand and said excitedly: "Brother Ye, thank you so much for this!"

  Ye Chen shook his head and joked: "My mansion is still in your care, what's the need to thank? If anyone should be thanked, it's me thanking you!"

  "Haha!" The three of them burst out laughing, and then heavily patted their own chest, loudly saying: "Brother Ye, rest assured, since we brothers promised to build a mansion for you, we will definitely build the best one, not only luxurious but also sturdy!

  "Thank you!" Ye Chen smiled slightly, clasped his hands together in a fist and bowed to Qun San, but secretly smiled to himself, thinking: "Qun San, my friend, I've already helped you by speaking to the city lord on your behalf, so we're even now. When the Shie family comes, you can't stop me from making money, right? This isn't just a superficial gesture!"
