548: What's going on in Yang County?

Whether in terms of Charm or appearance, no matter how one looked at it, Ye Su didn't seem like the kind of man who relied on women.

Recalling the photo of Yan Ran that Ye Su had shown her,

Zhang Xiuying felt that, aside from the age difference, the two of them being together could be considered a perfect match of talent and beauty.

Ultimately, Zhang Xiuying chose to believe that Ye Su wasn't the kind of person who was with Yan Ran just for money.

Ye Su couldn't be bothered to respond to Ye Ruo's loose tongue and joked with Zhang Xiuying:

“Since you're not going back, just stay here and rest easy. Don't let your sister come over tomorrow and not find you here, then blame me for not taking good care of you.”

“Yeah, the room is empty anyway, so just stay here with peace of mind.”

Under the successive persuasion of Ye Su and Su Wan, Zhang Xiuying finally nodded sheepishly:

“Alright then, I'll be troubling you guys.”

“It's no trouble at all.” Ye Su suggested, “Your sister will probably arrive tomorrow afternoon. Why don't you take a day off and not go to work tomorrow?”

With Ye Su's understanding of Yan Ran, after she reunited with Zhang Xiuying, she definitely wouldn't let Zhang Xiuying go back to that job and would find a way to arrange a different path for her development.

Since that was the case, it was better to let Zhang Xiuying skip a day of work.

“Um... that works too.”

Given the current situation, Zhang Xiuying indeed wasn't in the mood to go to work tomorrow.

“Alright, then it's settled.”

After letting Zhang Xiuying settle in, Su Wan and the others chatted with her for a while longer.

Feeling the friendly attitude of Ye Su's family, Zhang Xiuying gradually stopped being as restrained as when she first entered and began to converse naturally with them.

Later, under Ye Ruo's guidance, Zhang Xiuying went to the empty room on the first floor to tidy up the bedding.

Su Wan also got up to prepare towels, toothbrushes, and other toiletries for Zhang Xiuying.

Ye Su, on the other hand, returned to his room and told Yan Ran that Zhang Xiuying was waiting for her at home, while also taking the opportunity to bond with her... As soon as it passed midnight, Ye Su, who was lying in bed playing with his phone and hadn't slept yet, immediately sat up.

Throwing back the covers to clear a large space, Ye Su took out two Lucky Dice from the system space.

【Host's total intelligence earnings yesterday: 1,994,827 Yuan!】

“If you’ve got the guts, don't let me win this time either!”

Ye Su gritted his teeth and selected the numbers '1' and '2', then released his hands, letting the two dice fall freely onto the bed.

Thud, thud—

After hitting the mattress, the two dice scattered in different directions.

One of the dice stopped near the quilt, showing two rows of three dots.

“A six, missed again!”

Ye Su's gaze immediately shifted to the other target.

Clatter—

Under Ye Su's gaze, the other die fell off the bed onto the floor, rolled forward a bit, and finally stopped on a '3' with a row of three diagonal dots.

“Holy crap!” The two results made Ye Su's eyes nearly bulge out of their sockets:

“How is it possible to miss so many times? You're cheating, aren't you? I want to verify the cards!”

Regardless of how Ye Su protested, the system remained completely silent.

This gave Ye Su a sense of powerlessness, like punching a ball of cotton.

After his defense was thoroughly broken, Ye Su dejectedly put the two dice back into the system space, then took out four gold bars and said through gritted teeth:

“Use the System Gold Shop function to recycle four gold bars!”

【Ding!】

A notification sound rang out, and the four gold bars in Ye Su's hand vanished.

【Gold bars recycled successfully!】

【Total weight of gold recycled: 4,000 grams】

【Recycle unit price: 808 Yuan/gram】

【Total payment: 3,232,000 Yuan. Transferring to Host...】

The phone screen next to the pillow lit up, proving that the money from selling the gold bars had arrived.

“I dare you to—!”

Thinking about how he hadn't guessed the dice correctly for so many rounds, Ye Su didn't dare to talk big anymore and forcefully swallowed the rest of his harsh words.

After closing the system, Ye Su didn't look at his phone again. He flipped the quilt and fell asleep under the effect of the Sleep Aid Service.

Fortunately, he had the Sleep Aid Service technique; otherwise, just from failing to guess the dice numbers, Ye Su would probably have been too upset to sleep tonight... The rest of the night passed in silence.

The next day, Ye Jianguo and the other two went out as usual, leaving Ye Su and the two girls at home.

With Zhang Xiuying's company at home, Su Wan wasn't as bored as usual, and she even talked much more than she normally did.

Zhang Xiuying, who had almost never experienced the warmth of an elder since childhood, also had a very happy conversation with Su Wan.

By noon, the two of them were busy in the kitchen together, preparing lunch for six people.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, at the highway exit of Yang County, a rolls-royce phantom with a Spirit of Ecstasy on the hood drove out of the toll booth under the watchful eyes of the public.

Compared to the Lamborghini Urus Ye Su drove, this rolls-royce phantom was clearly much easier to recognize.

Almost everyone who saw it recognized what kind of car it was.

“Holy cow, I heard a Lamborghini came at the beginning of the month, and now a Rolls-Royce is here. What's going on with Yang County?”

“With so many rich people coming, could they be here to invest?”

“If that many entrepreneurs really come to invest, wouldn't Yang County have hope of developing?”

“Whether it develops or not has nothing to do with us. If they don't give us a raise, it's all meaningless.”

“That's true.”

“By the way, could this Rolls-Royce be a modified car someone's driving just to show off?”

“What are you thinking? Who would dare modify it like that? Aren't they afraid of being caught by the traffic police?”

“A rolls-royce phantom! If it's expensive, the on-road price could be over ten million. I wonder what kind of people drive this kind of car!”

At this time, the person driving a Rolls-Royce into Yang County was naturally Yan Ran, who was here to find her relative.

Chen Xinyi, sitting in the back seat with her, had long passed the initial excitement of riding in a Rolls-Royce. She was currently looking at the fields outside the window:

“So this is Ye Su's hometown. The air is clearly much better than in Guangzhou. I heard they have a lot of seafood here; we must have him take us to try some later.”

“Mhm.”

Yan Ran nodded perfunctorily, her expression clearly absent-minded.

One was meeting Ye Su's family, and the other was reuniting with her sister who had been lost for thirty years.

Either event was enough to make Yan Ran feel extremely nervous.

She wasn't like Chen Xinyi, who was not only beautiful but also young, not much different in age from Ye Su.

Yan Ran was truly afraid that after meeting Ye Su's family, they would have an issue with her age and then make Ye Su break up with her.

Chen Xinyi didn't know Yan Ran's thoughts were so complex. Seeing her worried face, she thought she was nervous about reuniting with Zhang Xiuying, so she took one of her hands and placed both of hers over it on her thigh:

“Sister Ran, this trip is to reunite with your sister. No matter how you look at it, it's a joyous occasion. You should be a bit happier. Don't let Ye Su see your brows furrowed when we get to his house, or he might think you're blaming him for meddling and helping you find your sister.”

“You're the only one who can talk like that.”

Yan Ran withdrew her hand and pinched Chen Xinyi's face.

However, with Chen Xinyi's guidance, after taking a deep breath, Yan Ran's mood relaxed a bit.

An ugly daughter-in-law must eventually meet her in-laws.

Since they were already in Yang County, there was no point in thinking about these things anymore. She should just strive to perform well later and leave a good impression on his family.
