397: The most successful person in the family

During dinner, while everyone was present, Ye Xin took the opportunity to tell Ye Jianguo and the others about Ye Su's recent situation.

Hearing that their youngest son was now flourishing and associating with people like the boss of Joyful Gathering in Yangcheng, Ye Jianguo and Su Wan both had looks of disbelief in their eyes.

Immediately after, they exchanged a glance, both seeing the pride for their youngest son in the other's eyes.

Even Ye Ruo was equally thrilled and excited.

Because he hadn't yet graduated and entered the workforce.

Although Ye Su was already 21, in the eyes of the four family members, he was still a child who hadn't grown up yet.

Even when the family was burdened with a huge debt last year, it didn't stop Ye Su from receiving four red envelopes from the four of them during the New Year.

Unexpectedly, without them realizing it, their youngest son had become the most successful one among the four of them.

Whether it was the Lamborghini worth millions or the luxury mansion in the Apartment Complex costing over two hundred thousand per square meter, it all exceeded the understanding of Ye Jianguo and the others.

Over all these years, they had never imagined that their lives would ever intersect with such things.

"I'm going to resign to my boss tomorrow, then buy a ticket to Yangcheng to eat and live off him!"

Ye Ruo looked excited, as if she really intended to retire early and just 'live off her younger brother' from now on.

"Resign from what?" Su Wan freed up a hand and slapped Ye Ruo, telling her to behave. "Your brother earning money outside is his own business. You just go and work your job honestly."

Ye Ruo was unmoved. "It's fine, he'd definitely be willing to support his sister."

Su Wan helplessly glared at the stubborn Ye Ruo, but she also knew that what she said was indeed the truth.

Since her youngest son was making money now, he certainly wouldn't mind supporting his sister for a lifetime.

Ever since Ye Su was born and couldn't even walk yet, Ye Ruo, who was not even 4 years old, knew how to hold a can of milk powder and clamor about wanting to make milk for her younger brother.

As the brother and sister grew up, they argued plenty, but whenever there was something good, Ye Ruo would always think of Ye Su.

When she went to another city for college, every time she came home, Ye Ruo would use her living expenses to buy gifts like clothes for Ye Su.

Needless to say, it was even more so after she started working.

The pocket money she gave Ye Su every month basically never stopped.

Similarly, although they bickered verbally, Ye Su was also willing to spend money on Ye Ruo.

Once, when Ye Ruo's phone broke and she kept talking about wanting to get a new one.

Ye Su secretly emptied his own little stash and bought Ye Ruo a new Apple phone, which moved her so much she gave him a couple of playful punches.

For so many years, the two siblings had always been in a state of bickering but loving each other.

As for Ye Xin, although he was only one year older than Ye Ruo, he consciously assumed the role and responsibility of the eldest son of the Ye family, always being the one to spend money on the two siblings.

Over the years, Su Wan and Ye Jianguo had seen the bond between the three siblings.

The couple didn't doubt for a second that as long as Ye Ruo dared to ask for Ye Su's car, Ye Su would be willing to give it directly to his sister.

"After dinner, I'll make a video call to him again to see what else he's hiding from us."

After saying that, Ye Ruo quickly shoveled rice into her mouth.

"Eat slowly, you're going to eat your hair in a minute..."

Looking at her grown-up daughter, Su Wan shook her head, feeling both helpless and disgusted.

But upon hearing that Ye Ruo wanted to call Ye Su, the other three subconsciously sped up their eating pace compared to usual.

After finishing the meal, Su Wan soaked the bowls and chopsticks in the sink and sat on the sofa with Ye Ruo, clearly waiting for her to call Ye Su.

As soon as Su Wan sat down, Ye Ruo had already picked up her phone to make a video call to Ye Su.

In Villa No. 9 of the Yunxuan Villa District, Ye Su, who had just finished eating with Yan Ran and was staying in the living room looking at his phone, was thinking about returning to the master bedroom later to use that special smart massage chair to master the Special Grade Massage Technique.

Dong dong dong—

Just then, his phone suddenly rang, and Ye Ruo's profile picture and contact name appeared on the screen.

Seeing the sudden video call from Ye Ruo, Ye Su had already guessed that she must have heard about his situation from Ye Xin and was now coming to interrogate him.

Yan Ran, who was wearing loose loungewear and leaning lazily against the sofa armrest with her legs resting on Ye Su's lap, heard the commotion and asked teasingly:

"What's the matter, which woman is calling you again?"

"It is indeed a woman making a video call to me." Ye Su held up his phone toward Yan Ran. "My second sister, the biological kind."

With that one sentence, Yan Ran was so startled that she immediately retracted her legs and hurriedly straightened her clothes.

But she was wearing a set of loungewear, so no matter how she straightened it, it was useless.

Yan Ran could only get up in a fluster and said to Ye Su, "Wait a moment before answering, let me go put on a coat first."

After saying this, Yan Ran ran quickly toward the elevator as if fleeing for her life.

Looking at her appearance, she was even more nervous than when she had to talk business with the company president.

"Is it really necessary?"

Seeing Yan Ran flee, Ye Su shook his head, waited for the phone to ring a few more times, and then answered Ye Ruo's video call:

"Hello, what's up?"

"What do you mean 'what's up'!" On the phone screen, Ye Ruo reached out a hand toward the camera. "Transfer me one hundred thousand."

Slap—

The next second, Ye Ruo's hand was slapped away, and then Su Wan's voice sounded from off-camera:

"What are you saying..."

With her hand slapped away by Su Wan, Ye Ruo still wouldn't give up:

"He has money now, we have to fleece him properly."

Following that, Ye Ruo's ear was twisted by Su Wan.

"Mom, well hit, hit her a few more times."

Seeing Ye Ruo getting hit, Ye Su felt relieved.

As Ye Su spoke, the camera on the other side was moved by someone, and only then did Ye Su see Su Wan:

"Mom, you've finished dinner, right?"

Come to think of it, Ye Su hadn't made a video call home in a long time.

With his homecoming imminent, and seeing Su Wan, Ye Ruo, and the background wall of his home, a feeling of homesickness instantly surged in Ye Su's heart.

"We've finished. How about you, have you eaten?"

"I've finished too. I ate at a friend's place tonight and I'm still at her house."

Upon hearing that Ye Su was still at someone else's house, Ye Ruo immediately toned it down a lot and didn't dare to be unruly anymore, lest she embarrass Ye Su in front of his friend.

"You're at a friend's house? We didn't disturb you two, did we?"

"No, she just went upstairs, there's only me in the living room."

As he spoke, Ye Su panned the phone screen around the room.

Seeing the spacious living room and hearing what Ye Su just said about her "going upstairs," Su Wan and her daughter in front of the phone, as well as Ye Jianguo and his son who were eavesdropping with pricked ears, all knew that the friend Ye Su mentioned was definitely not just anyone.

Ye Jianguo was still sitting to the side, but Ye Xin had already gotten up and sat on the armrest of the sofa next to Ye Ruo, looking at the phone screen together.

Seeing that there was no one else in the living room, Ye Ruo dared to ask ignorantly:

"It's so big, your friend lives in a villa!"

Villas in Yangcheng are not comparable to the self-built houses here.

Just from the quick pan Ye Su had just done.

Having studied in Yangcheng for a few years and having some understanding of housing prices, the Ye Xin siblings could already estimate that the villa cost at least tens of millions!
