Ye Chen could see that in Xiao Churan's heart, he still regarded Fei Kexin as a friend.
However, the huge gap in social status between the two made her feel a little discouraged.
Ye Chen understood this very well.
Moreover, for Ye Chen, he doesn't want his wife to get too close to Fei Kexin.
On the one hand, Fei Kexin already knows her identity. If her wife gets too close to her, clues to her identity may be exposed;
On the other hand, Fei Kexin is too smart. In contrast, Xiao Churan is like a primary school student facing a graduate student in front of her. One is too smart and the other is too naive. If these two people really become friends, both sides will have to fight for each other.
Compromising with the other party will definitely be tiring.
Therefore, in Ye Chen's opinion, it is best for the two of them to stay in their current state.
So, Ye Chen changed the subject and asked Xiao Churan: "Honey, what time does the graduation ceremony start in the evening?"
Xiao Churan said: "The ceremony starts with sign-ins from 5 to 5:30 in the afternoon, and officially starts at 6 o'clock."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "Then let's pack our luggage in the afternoon, and we can drive to New York early tomorrow morning."
"Okay!" Xiao Churan agreed happily, and said with some excitement: "I really miss home after being out for so long! My dad ended the exchange a few days ago and returned to Jinling from South Korea. I don't know what happened these days.
How can he live alone at home? He doesn't know how to cook, so eating alone is a problem."
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Eating is a trivial matter. Nowadays, with a mobile phone, you can't be hungry anywhere, and mom is not at home. Dad may be very happy by himself, and he may be looking forward to us going back later.
For middle-aged and older married men, being able to live alone at home for a few days is more comfortable than being the president of the United States for a few days."
Xiao Churan couldn't help but sigh: "To talk about the Gu family, it has to be a woman! You see, when we first came to the United States, my father also went to Korea for exchange, and my mother was the only one in the family. According to what you just said, she is alone
She must be very comfortable at home, but she still misses us, so she came all the way to the United States to see us."
Ye Chen was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself: "Ma Lan has us in her heart? My dear wife, you don't know your mother well enough. The reason why your mother came to the United States was because I designed her to accompany you."
He devised a little plan to make her spend all her money, but even if she had more than ten or two hundred thousand in hand, and eight sedans were sent to her, she would not come to the United States."
However, Ye Chen naturally couldn't tell the truth, so he smiled and said: "My wife, you are right, our mother values friendship."
Xiao Churan smiled and said: "We will set off tomorrow morning and arrive home in a dozen hours. By then, dad's good life will probably come to an end."
While Xiao Churan was packing his luggage, Ye Chen went to the terrace of the presidential suite and called Aunt Li in Canada.
As soon as the call was connected, Aunt Li called out respectfully on the other end of the phone: "Master!"
Ye Chen wanted to persuade Aunt Li not to call herself that, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up the idea.
He knew that even if he asked Aunt Li not to call him young master, it would not change the fact that in Aunt Li's heart, he was the young master of the Ye family.
In addition, she always felt that the Ye family saved her life and arranged for her to retire in Canada. In her heart, she felt that she was a servant of the Ye family.
In front of people who don't know Ye Chen's identity, she will call Ye Chen by his first name against her will, but when there are no outsiders, she wants to call Ye Chen "young master" from the bottom of her heart.
Therefore, Ye Chen no longer pointed out the matter, but said with a smile: "Aunt Li, Churan's course in the United States has ended today, and we plan to return to Jinling tomorrow. You and Xiaofen,
And Claudia also needs to make simple preparations and come to New York to join us tomorrow."
When Aunt Li heard this, she couldn't help but said happily: "That's great, young master. During this time, Xiaofen has been mentioning to me the matter of returning to Jinling. I am also thinking about the large welfare home you mentioned, and I have already felt like returning home."
Like an arrow."
Ye Chen smiled and said: "That's great, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the Canadian environment."
Aunt Li said very seriously: "Master, to be honest, when this person gets older, there will be no place like home. What's more, he can shine for those children after he goes back. I can't wait."
"That's good." Ye Chen also breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "By the way, Aunt Li, how are Xiaofen and Claudia doing lately?"
Aunt Li replied: "The two of them still go to the supermarket to work every day. After what happened last time, their relationship has become better, just like real sisters."
Ye Chen asked: "Regarding going to Aurous Hill, has Claudia expressed any reluctance or had any concerns before?"
Aunt Li thought for a while and said: "Since you left, Claudia's mentality seems to be a lot more optimistic and she has become a lot more cheerful. Moreover, she is quite looking forward to going to Jinling and starting a new life in Vancouver.
, there are too many bad memories for her, and the rainy season in Vancouver is too long, which makes it relatively boring."
After saying that, Aunt Li added: "However, the only thing she may not be worried about is the tombs of her parents and younger brother. Xiaofen promised her that she would accompany her back to pay homage to her parents every summer in the future, so she has nothing to worry about.
.”
"Okay." Ye Chen felt a little relieved after hearing this.
Although he didn't have much contact with Claudia, the girl's experience did make him very sympathetic, especially when her whole family died at the hands of relatives, but at the age of eighteen, she endured the humiliation and had a piece of cake on her face.
Fake scars show off this kind of intelligence and forbearance that an ordinary eighteen-year-old girl cannot have.
Fortunately, he helped Claudia kill her enemy, otherwise it would be difficult for this girl to live a normal life.
Come to think of it, this is also a good relationship planted by Claudia herself. If she hadn't discovered that Guo Lei was plotting evil against Li Xiaofen and then warned her, she might not have been able to save Li Xiaofen, let alone help her complete her revenge.
With emotion in his heart, Ye Chen smiled and said to Aunt Li: "Aunt Li, after I go back this time, I can keep the house and the supermarket in Canada. If you are really tired and want to retire in the future, you can still keep it.
You can go back to Canada;”
"In addition, I have previously arranged for Chen Zekai to prepare a decent villa for you, Xiaofen, and Claudia in Jinling. From now on, this villa will be reserved for you to retire in Jinling. If Xiaofen and Claudia
When I get married in the future, that will be the natal family of the two little girls."
Aunt Li quickly said: "You can't help it, young master, you and the Ye family have already given me too many favors, how can I still want your villa again? You just need to leave us a room in the orphanage..."
..”
Ye Chen said seriously: "Aunt Li, things are different now. Today's Ye Chen is no longer the same Ye Chen who worked three jobs a day to earn money for books and milk powder for his brothers and sisters in the orphanage.
I earn two to three thousand yuan a month, and I can give all the money to the welfare home. Now, I have inherited the Ye family and have my own property. It is just a villa. If calculated on a pro-rata basis, it is not as good as when I was working.
A portion of the lunch money, you don’t have to shirk anymore.”
After saying that, Ye Chen said again: "And Aunt Li, you have taken care of me for so many years and are my benefactor. Now you have to come back to work in Jinling for me. If I don't give you a proper settlement in Jinling, others will also treat me badly."
I have some complaints."
Aunt Li sighed and said sincerely: "Master, in fact, over the years, I have only done my job well, and I never dare to be a benefactor..."
Ye Chen said firmly: "Aunt Li, in my heart, you are my benefactor."
Saying that, Ye Chen didn't want to dwell too much on this issue, so he changed the subject and said: "By the way, Aunt Li, let Xiaofen and Claudia start packing. Take everything you need and want.
Just take it with you, I will arrange for Hong Wu to fly to Vancouver early tomorrow morning and have him take someone to pick you up at home."
Aunt Li hurriedly said: "Master, there's no need to go to such trouble. The three of us can go to the airport by ourselves."
Ye Chen insisted: "Aunt Li, after a long journey, you should try to be as worry-free as possible. Hong Wu will take care of this matter, so you don't have to worry. We will meet directly at the New York Airport tomorrow. The plane you, Xiaofen and the others are on,
Even if we take the plane back to Jinling together, after the plane lands in New York, we will board the plane to meet you, so you don’t have to get off the plane and transfer."
Aunt Li listened to Ye Chen's firm tone, so she had no choice but to agree and said respectfully: "Then it's up to you, Master, to make arrangements."
"It's not hard." Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Aunt Li, let's see you tomorrow!"
...
Five p.m.
Ye Chen, who changed into a suit, and Xiao Churan, who was wearing a white evening gown, came to the Rhode Island School of Design together.
It was the summer vacation for American college students, so there were no young students in the huge campus, but there were many faculty and staff walking around, and there were even many media reporters and well-known designers in the design field.
The Rhode Island School of Design attaches great importance to the master classes every year, so the school's auditorium is specially used to hold the graduation ceremony for the master classes.
When Ye Chen and Xiao Churan arrived at the auditorium, the auditorium was already filled with people.
For today's graduation ceremony, many designers who participated in the master class invited their relatives and friends, and even their bosses, mentors, and partners in the design field to help out.
It is said to be a graduation ceremony, but it is actually a salon where industry elites demonstrate their identities and make friends with powerful people in the industry.
In contrast, a young newcomer like Xiao Churan, who is only accompanied by her husband and has no industry background, seems a bit out of place here.
When signing in, Xiao Churan found an inconspicuous corner on the huge sign-in board and wrote his name.
Just as he handed the signature pen to the etiquette lady, a woman with an oriental face strode next to her. Next to where Xiao Churan was signing, she wrote a string of huge English signatures: emilywang.
Emily Wang seems to be of Chinese descent.
However, what made Ye Chen a little unhappy was that when she signed, Emily signed her name in an extremely large size, and the last letter "g" even made an exaggerated arc, even the letter Xiao Churan had already signed.
The names are all painted on.
Xiao Churan was slightly startled when he saw his signature drawn by the other party, but he didn't say anything. But at this time, Emily Wang looked at Xiao Churan with a face of surprise and said with a smile: "Oh
Churan, I didn't see you just now, when did you come?"
Xiao Churan smiled and said politely: "I just arrived."
Emily nodded and said with a smile: "I have good news for you. I have become a senior partner of ae construction company, and our boss is here today. I will introduce it to you in a while, and you can have a good chat with him.
Let’s talk, and maybe you’ll have a chance to join ae!”
Xiao Churan smiled slightly and said: "Thank you, Emily, but I don't plan to find a job. I want to return to China after graduation."
Emily said seriously: "Go back and continue running your small decoration company? eon! You are too unambitious! To be a designer is to join the best design company in the world and become a senior partner.
Then we can win the entire project design for Fortune 500 companies, and even the Olympic Games and World Cup. This is the purpose of our master class!"
As she said that, she saw a few people walking not far away, and she quickly said in surprise: "My boss is here! Let me introduce you to him!"
