Chapter 416: Chapter 416

The dinner was merry for both host and guest, and when it came time to part, Ye Chong even arranged to meet Xiao Bai again.

On the way back, Xiao Bai felt a clear relief from his prior sulking and cheerfully said, "If it weren’t for our old man, the Crown Prince wouldn’t have been so trusting with us."

Chuchu strongly agreed with this, saying, "The real estate project Ye Chong mentioned earlier, we should get involved if possible." The domestic real estate market was about to take off, and it would be best if they could capitalize on this opportunity to make a fortune.

Xiao Bai laughed, "I had the same thought, but we shouldn’t put all our eggs in one basket, let’s look at some other projects."

Chuchu nodded, she tried hard to remember what happened later, their company Hailang had failed, but other internet companies in China were just starting up.

This Thunder was not among those well-known internet companies in the days to come, thinking of this, Chuchu felt much relieved. Combining this with what Ye Chong had said today, it seemed they were being suppressed.

So, she picked a few companies and repeated their names, "Second Brother, these companies, I think they have potential. If there’s a chance to invest, we should invest more. If these companies plan to go public, we should find some connections to buy some initial shares or first-tier stocks."

Xiao Bai asked, "Where did you see that these companies are good? Who knows, they might end up like our Hailang, swallowed by Thunder."

"That’s because we were the early bird, so we got swallowed by Thunder. Besides, there are so many domestic companies, how could he cope with all of them!" Chuchu bluffed a bit about the features of these companies and highly praised them, making Xiao Bai half convinced.

"Alright, I’ll keep an eye on these companies."

Thinking that Mai Qiqi might still be asleep, Chuchu first went to the old house to pick up her child, but when she arrived at the old house, she saw Mao Xiaoyu sitting in the yard with a bandage on her head, while Brother Lishan carefully attended to her.

"Xiao Yu, what happened to you?" Chuchu asked in shock.

Mao Xiaoyu saw Chuchu and tried to stand up, but was held down by Lishan, who then felt his action was too rough and quickly took his hands off.

"Don’t stand up, just sit, why don’t you lie down inside? A head injury is not a trivial matter." Chuchu looked at her bandaged head, which resembled a Mongolian yurt, with great concern.

Mao Xiaoyu smiled sheepishly, "Sister-in-law, it’s nothing serious, I just woke up."

"What exactly happened?"

Mao Xiaoyu then recounted the morning’s events. Chuchu listened with dread; Xiaoyu was not as capable of defending herself as she was, having absolutely no power to resist in such a situation, and the girl had even hit her head against a wall.

"With such a severe injury, why are you running around? You should be in the hospital." Hitting a wall was no joke.

Hearing Chuchu say this, Lishan unhappily said, "See, I told you to stay at the hospital, but you wouldn’t listen."

Mao Xiaoyu just lowered her head sheepishly without saying a word.

Chuchu looked back and forth between the two and said, "No, Xiao Yu, you should really go to the hospital and stay there. Any complications would affect you for life. Don’t worry, I’ll stay at the old house for the time being. Mrs. Zhu and Xiao Liu are there."

"Sister-in-law, really, I’m fine, I don’t feel uncomfortable," Mao Xiaoyu quickly said, afraid of causing trouble for Chuchu and the others.

But Chuchu wouldn’t listen to her, and directly told Lishan, "Brother Lishan, go start the car, I’ll help Xiao Yu pack some things, we need to get her to the hospital right away."

This time, Lishan agreed promptly and turned to get the car.

"Don’t say anything, don’t worry about anything, just go to the hospital and follow the treatment properly. This is a work-related injury, don’t overthink the cost of hospitalization, I’ve got it covered."

Chuchu packed a few unworn home clothes and some new toiletries and toiletries then helped Mao Xiaoyu out the door.

Seeing them come out, Lishan quickly got out of the car, opened the back door, and carefully helped Mao Xiaoyu into the car. Chuchu, concerned, wanted to follow them to the hospital when she saw Lishan’s twisted expression.

Alright, she won’t block the way anymore, giving Lishan a chance to show himself. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelꜰire.net

She gave a few more instructions to Mao Xiaoyu before watching them leave.

Once back in the yard, she saw Mrs. Zhu coming out of the nursery.

"Chuchu, you’re back. You really need to talk some sense into Xiaoyu. Even with her injuries, she’s still stubbornly refusing to go to the hospital." Mrs. Zhu immediately brought up Mao Xiaoyu’s situation upon seeing Wan Chu’er.

Wan Chu’er replied: "Brother Lishan just took Xiaoyu to the hospital."

"I’m relieved to hear that. This child really, how could she just run into a wall? Luckily, Lishan was there."

Wan Chu’er also felt a wave of relief and after thinking for a moment, said: "Mrs. Zhu, the old house is quite large, so I was thinking that once Xiaoyu is discharged, she could come here to help you."

That would make it convenient for Lishan to pursue Mao Xiaoyu.

Mrs. Zhu smiled and said, "That sounds wonderful. But what about your place? I see those two little ones are quite fond of Xiaoyu."

Wan Chu’er said, "From now on, I’ll be staying here. After celebrating the birthday of these two little ones, I’ll take them to Northwest to find Jiang Kechu."

"That’s a good idea, you newlyweds shouldn’t be separated ," Mrs. Zhu fully supported Wan Chu’er’s plan, it would be nice for her to stay in the old house and accompany Old Sir.

These next two or three months would be enough time for her to deal with Zhuo Yao and Zheng Yun.

The next morning, after breakfast and a walk with Old Sir, Wan Chu’er mentioned the dinner with Ye Chong the night before.

Old Sir hummed lightly, "The Ye Family has a decent reputation, it’s not a bad thing to associate with them more."

Wan Chu’er nodded and smiled, "Grandfather, thank you for your concern."

Old Sir Zhong shook his head and turned to say, "If there’s nothing holding you back in Beijing, why don’t you take the kids to the Northwest."

"Yes, after the children’s birthdays, I’ll go."

After feeding the two children, Wan Chu’er drove back to Jinse Garden; Mai Qiqi was still there.

Upon arriving at Jinse Garden, she saw Mai Qiqi and Chen Jiahua talking in the living room. Wan Chu’er’s expression changed, and she coldly asked Chen Jiahua:

"Are you going to leave on your own, or do I need to throw you out?"

Mai Qiqi thought she had misheard and stared with wide eyes in shock.

However, Chen Jiahua replied: "Chuchu, your grandmother and I are the closest people to you, what good does your acting do? Our blood ties are thicker than water."

Wan Chu’er was unmoved, "I don’t need a cold-blooded relative who could abandon their own child."

"It was a situation out of her control, we came back to make amends, you have to give us a chance," Chen Jiahua defended.

Wan Chu’er: "Make amends in your next life, and don’t abandon my father again."

Chen Jiahua tried to say more, but Wan Chu’er, running out of patience, grabbed him by the back of his collar and dragged him outside.

"Bang!" The door slammed shut right in front of Chen Jiahua.
