"To Second Uncle's house?" Ye Chen failed to react at the moment.
Ye Chen's Second Uncle, Ye Ming, was considered the most promising one in the Ye family. He was promoted to the deputy section chief of the development zone department at a young age, and the development zone was usually the most profitable.
However, ever since Second Uncle got married, he became henpecked. Meanwhile, Second Aunt who had just married did not like Ye Chen's family. Therefore, Ye Chen rarely visited them to annoy them.
Ye Hai sighed and said, "In these few years when you were not around, your second uncle was still quite concerned about you. He used his connections and friends to look for your whereabouts. Even when we were treating Mengmeng, he even secretly gave us ¥5,000 behind your second aunt's back.
Ye Chen nodded upon hearing that.
Indeed, what Second Uncle had done throughout the years deserved his gratitude.
Over half an hour later, the father and son arrived at Ye Ming's house.
Ye Hai walked up and knocked on the door. Soon, the door opened, and a pretty face peeked out. The girl frowned. "Who are you guys?"
"Wenwen, you don't know me?" Ye Hai said while smiling.
The girl came to a realization, and the passion on her face faded a lot.
She was stunned at first when she looked at Ye Chen who was next to Ye Hai. She seemed to have recalled something, then she said calmly, "Come in."
She was Ye Ming's only daughter, Ye Wen. She was four years younger than Ye Chen. When Ye Chen graduated from university, Ye Wen was just a freshman. Perhaps it was because they had not seen each other for a long time, but Ye Chen could not feel any warmth from her at all.
Ye Chen did not show it. After following Ye Hai in, he saw his Second Uncle, Ye Ming, sitting next to the stove in the living room. He seemed to be watching television.
Ye Ming walked over as soon as he saw the duo. He said while smiling sincerely, "Brother, why are you here?"
"I'm resting, so I thought I might as well visit you." Ye Hai smiled.
Ye Ming just noticed Ye Chen who was next to him. He rubbed his eyes and said in a testing manner, "I-is this Xiaochen?"
"Second Uncle, it's me. How have you been all these years?" Ye Chen nodded and asked in concern.
"I'm doing fine, but I'm really happy to see you back. Don't just stand there. Come, come, come. Sit!"
Ye Ming got the father and son to sit in a friendly manner. He lifted his head and said to Ye Wen who was going upstairs, "Wenwen, don't you know how to serve your uncle and cousin?"
"Dad, can't you see that I'm busy? Serve yourself."
Ye Wen replied impatiently and went upstairs on her own. However, she felt a little disdainful.
'Uncle? Uncle? Needless to say, this time he must be here to borrow money from my dad again.
'This kid must be here to borrow money. "
Ye Ming shook his head helplessly. He got up and poured a cup of hot water for Ye Chen and his son. Just when he was going to say something, footsteps came upstairs.
Soon after, a middle-aged woman dressed more fashionably walked down. Perhaps it was because she had taken good care of herself, but she looked like she was in her thirties.
It was Ye Ye Chen's Second.
Ye Ming waved immediately and said, "Wenwen's mother, look who's here."
"Uncle Wen, Ye Uncle Wen," to, "Ye Uncle Uncle.,"
The Second Aunt glared at him impatiently and scoffed, "You weren't this excited when Section Chief Zhang came to our house last time."
"What are you talking about? Section Chief Zhang is an outsider. How can it be the same?" Ye Ming smiled in an honest manner.
Ye Chen greeted her politely when the Second Aunt walked closer, "Nice to meet you, Second Aunt."
"What's so nice about that? It's been a few years since I last saw you. Where did you get rich? " The Second Aunt said in a sarcastic tone. Disdain flashed deep in her eyes especially when she saw the father and son's attire.
Since she was familiar with all kinds of branded goods, she could tell that the father and son were wearing cheap goods that cost tens of yuan at a glance.
'How dare such a person come here to borrow money to treat a dying girl? I won't lend you a single cent. What if she dies? How are you going to pay me back?'
Ye Chen smiled calmly. "I've been abroad for a few years. I can't say that I got rich."
"So, what do you plan to do in the future?" The Second Aunt gave a short response and showed an expression as if she expected it. At the same time, she asked in a testing manner.
Ye Chen shook his head. "I haven't thought about it yet."
Ye Ming, who was standing aside, said all of a sudden, "Oh yeah, Wenwen's company seems to be hiring in three days. The salary and benefits are great. Why don't you get Wenwen to introduce you to them?"
Just when Ye Chen was going to reject him, Ye Hai said with joy written all over his face, "Really?"
He was worried before his son came back, and he was still worried now that his son was back. He was worried about his son's future and how he was going to make a living.
What Ye Ming said undoubtedly gave him hope.
"That should be possible. Wenwen is quite popular in her company. I heard that she even knows the HR leader's child. I'll get Wenwen to say something when the time comes." Ye Hai smiled.
Ye Wen came downstairs with her earphones on just when they were talking. She said angrily after hearing what Ye Ming said, "Dad, you're giving me trouble again. Not everyone can join our company."
She seemed to be saying that Ye Chen was not qualified.
"That's right. You know nothing, and you only know how to come up with stupid ideas. What if Wenwen loses her job because of you?" The Second Aunt glared at him ferociously.
Ye Ming did not care at all. "Don't worry. I believe in Xiaochen. After all, he has his education. Why don't we do this? Xiaochen will go for the interview in three days. If he passes, Wenwen, talk to your colleague and get him a better position."
"That's great!" Ye Hai agreed on behalf of Ye Chen with a smile on his face.
Ye Chen smiled helplessly and did not say anything else.
The Second Aunt looked terrible as if she had eaten a fly.
On the other hand, Ye Wen was furious. She returned to her room with a cold expression after coming out of the bathroom. She opened her WeChat and sent a message in the group chat, "This is so annoying. A cousin that I haven't seen for years is shameless enough to come to my house. I can't believe he's asking me to get him to work at our company."
Ye Wen and a few colleagues who were close to the company created the group chat. There were not many people in the group, only five of them. However, all of them had high statuses in the company.
Soon, someone replied in the group chat, "Cousin? Then, you guys must be close.
Ye Wen typed while smiling coldly, "Of course not. This cousin of mine has been studying abroad since he was young. We hardly see each other. Moreover, he disappeared for a few years and came back like a wild man. Our family is so poor that we can barely afford to eat. Yet, my dad treats them like treasures."
"Wenwen, I understand what you mean. Don't worry. I'll make him scram as soon as he dares to come to the company in three days."
"That's right. How dare he offend our Wenwen? He must be tired of living.
"I suggest we beat up Wenwen's stupid cousin directly three days later. We'll show him what it means to know one's place."
Ye Wen could not bear to do that. "Take it easy. He's my cousin no matter what. I don't want my dad to be caught in the middle."
