The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 194: Chapter 110: A Male Lead’s Relative (Part Fourteen)

Sigh, it seems, making money from Su Wenyuan to provoke the male lead will no longer be possible in the future.

He Tiantian felt somewhat disheartened.

Student Xiao D: ...I’m sorry, I have nothing more to say.

”Alright, let’s consider the matter resolved! I misunderstood you before, I’m sorry, Xiao Tian!”

Aware of his mistake, Ye Chen quickly adjusted his mindset and then sincerely apologized to He Tiantian.

He Tiantian didn’t want to comment on the male lead’s noble and clear-cut approach to grievances and wanted to express her weakness by waving her hand, ”You’re my brother, whatever you say is for my own good!”

Ye Chen’s eyes brightened with a smile as he softly said, ”Knowing that I mean well is good enough!”

Suddenly, Ye Chen recalled something, ”By the way, out of the 500,000 Su Wenyuan paid you today, how much do you have left?”

He Tiantian hesitated for a moment, her eyeballs whirring around, ”Well, not much is left. Besides buying some appliances for the family, I also, also bought you a new phone, and got myself a watch!”

”But there was no stock for your phone today, I can only pick it up from the flagship store tomorrow.”

While speaking, He Tiantian shook her wrist.

Indeed, a brand new watch that looked expensive appeared before Ye Chen.

Ye Chen’s smile deepened, this Xiao Tian, was as slick-tongued as ever.

Who was it just now coaxing the old lady, claiming ”I’m too reluctant to buy stuff for myself, I bought quite a few gifts for you and uncle”, and yet behind the scenes, bought a watch for herself?

Ye Chen didn’t understand much about these luxury watches, but being the friend of a billionaire’s only son, he had some knowledge of luxury brands.

For instance, Ye Chen barely glanced at the dial of the watch on He Tiantian’s wrist and recognized a few familiar letters.

Rolex?

But it wasn’t the luxurious kind; it was a more simple, basic mechanical watch.

Still, Ye Chen estimated that even such an unassuming-looking Rolex would probably retail for around 110,000 to 120,000.

Dishwasher, water heater, washing machine, massage chair – all of these together, roughly amounted to about 100,000.

Plus the phone he bought for Ye Chen, Ye Chen figured that Xiao Tian’s recently earned 500,000 might have already been half spent.

”How much money do you have left in hand? 250,000, do you have it?” Ye Chen didn’t say anything about returning the purchases.

He already regarded ”He Tian” as his own real brother; between family members, formalities were unnecessary.

Too much pushing and pulling only made people feel estranged, not truly like family.

”I have—” He Tiantian’s tone was a bit hesitant; she seemed a bit unclear as to why Ye Chen was so concerned about how much money she had left.

Suddenly, He Tiantian seemed to think of something and asked as if enlightened, ”Brother, are you short on money? Hey, if you’re short just say so, I’ll lend it to you!”

He Tiantian said this most generously, her pale and handsome face filled with spirit and faint expectation.

This was like a perpetually disparaged underachiever who suddenly finds themselves in a position to assist the universally praised top student, feeling boundless glory and inexplicable pride.

Seeing He Tiantian’s rich expression, Ye Chen felt a sudden sense of poignancy, reflecting on his cousin’s childhood, and whatever prejudice and guard he had within him disappeared without a trace.

Sigh, life hasn’t been easy for his cousin. He lost his real father when he was young and followed his real mother to remarry in a distant place.

They say once there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather too, and the real mother who remarried is no longer the mother she used to be.

The negligence of the real mother, the indifference of the stepfather, and the favoritism toward a half-brother with a different father... growing up in such an abnormal family environment, it’s not strange at all that Ye Tian has become what he is today.

But, even if Ye Chen originally had some prejudices against He Tian, he had to admit.

He Tian was only slightly crafty and cunning, not even close to being unlawful or disorderly.

And as long as he is given positive guidance, he can get back on the right track.

Isn’t that so? As soon as He Tian made a bit of money, he started buying things for the family.

How bad can someone who knows gratitude really be?

The more Ye Chen thought, the more he felt that his top-grade cousin still had hope, and as an older brother, Ye Chen felt it was his responsibility to properly discipline and guide his younger brother!

”Give me those 250,000!”

Ye Chen’s mind raced, clarifying his thoughts and then seriously said, ”I’m going to open a private kitchen, you know about this, right?”

”I know. Before our grandfather passed away, didn’t he pass on the He Family’s ancestral recipes to you?”
