Xiao Churan’s heart was already surging with overwhelming shock!
If Ye Chen was truly the young master of the Ye family from Yanjing, many mysteries could indeed be perfectly explained.
Why had she received special treatment from Wang Dongxue of the Emgrand Group? Why did Wang Dongxue hold her in such high regard?
Originally, she couldn’t make sense of this, but once Ye Chen’s identity was changed to the young master of the Ye family, everything fell into place.
Because, if Ye Chen’s identity was switched, Wang Dongxue would be his employee, and as Ye Chen’s wife, she would naturally receive special care.
And the Thompson First villa she now lived in with her family—why had Wang Zhenggang gifted such an expensive villa to her husband? Later, when so many people sought Ye Chen for feng shui consultations, they paid only a few million, but Wang Zhenggang’s villa was worth over a hundred million.
Oh, right!
And Buckingham Palace!
Wasn’t Buckingham Palace the Ye family’s chain of ultra-luxury five-star hotels?
When Ye Chen arranged their belated wedding ceremony, he used the Sky Garden at Buckingham Palace, which was never rented out to the public. At the time, she wondered how Ye Chen had such influence, but if he was the young master of the Ye family, it all made perfect sense!
It was the Ye family’s hotel, so who could say no to Ye Chen’s wishes?
And then there was Hong Wu, a fearsome figure, the godfather of Jinling’s underworld—why was he so respectful to Ye Chen?
The more Xiao Churan thought about it, the more despair she felt, because she knew Master Jingqing’s speculation was likely correct.
At that moment, Master Jingqing suddenly said, “By the way, Benefactor, I happen to have a guest here who arrived early this morning, even before you two. He has some connection with the Ye family from Yanjing. If you have doubts, why not ask him directly?”
Xiao Churan was even more shocked and quickly asked, “Master, you say this guest has ties to the Ye family? Who is he?”
Master Jingqing smiled faintly, not answering her question, but instead called towards the back hall, “Benefactor Tang, please come out.”
Footsteps immediately echoed from the back hall. Xiao Churan, nervous and apprehensive, stared at the small door connecting the back and front halls.
Master Jingqing said this person had ties to the Ye family, so he must be able to give her a clear answer about whether Ye Chen was truly the young master.
But her heart suddenly filled with fear—fear of learning truths she couldn’t accept or didn’t want to face.
At that moment, Tang Sihai stepped out from the back.
The moment she saw him, Xiao Churan felt he looked familiar, though she couldn’t immediately recall where she had seen him.
Tang Sihai approached her and said respectfully, “Greetings, Lady Ye. My surname is Tang, and my name is Tang Sihai. For decades, I served as the chief steward of the Ye family, managing many of their internal affairs and miscellaneous matters.”
“Tang Sihai…”
Xiao Churan sighed inwardly, “I know you… I saw a report about you on TV before…”
Tang Sihai asked in surprise, “How could Lady Ye have seen my report? I’ve rarely given media interviews in recent years.”
Xiao Churan replied honestly, “When my grandfather was alive, he seemed very interested in the Ye family. He would watch any reports about them, and I saw some related news because of him.”
Tang Sihai asked curiously, “During that time, had you already met your husband?”
“Yes,” Xiao Churan nodded, saying, “Ye Chen first worked at my grandfather’s construction site. My grandfather liked him a lot and introduced him to me. Later, he arranged for Ye Chen to study at Jinling University for a while, where we were classmates. After graduation, my grandfather insisted I marry him, very forcefully—no one could oppose him.”
