Chapter 123: Chapter 123 The Simple Wang Shufen

Around 7 o'clock, Mom came back."Lingzi, Miss Shen, time for breakfast." A shout came from outside.

The breakfast wasn't too lavish, but it was still decent.

Plain congee, some pickled vegetables, and a few dough sticks.

Perhaps because Ye Ling had dealt with Zhao Qiang, since yesterday, Wang Shufen's face had been constantly filled with smiles.

For years, she had rarely smiled.

"Did you bully that Miss Shen?" Your next read awaits at M V L

Seeing Shen Yuexin's red eyes, Wang Shufen's expression darkened as she spoke to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling was somewhat embarrassed and coughed dryly, "Ahem, Mom, I didn't, it's just that I had a dream last night."

"What dream?" Wang Shufen pressed.

"Oh, just forget about it."

Ye Ling almost wished he could find a crack in the floor to crawl into, how could he respond?

Imagine me, Ye Ling, once dashing and graceful, suave and debonair, in my previous life as the Nine Tribulation Immortal Emperor, I dominated the Immortal Realm, unmatched by anyone, yet now, because of a dream, my reputation is completely ruined...

Shen Yuexin sipped her millet porridge, glanced at Ye Ling, then at Wang Shufen, thinking he still has the nerve to ask, it would have been good enough if you didn't join in with the plotting and scheming.

However, she had to admit, last night was definitely the most peaceful sleep Shen Yuexin had had since she was sixteen.

She too had a dream, one in which she saw only a man's back, always standing in front of her, protecting her.

Even though the man was a bit skinny, like a stick of bamboo that would fall over with a mere gentle breeze, standing behind him, Shen Yuexin felt an immense sense of security.

After finishing breakfast, Wang Shufen tidied up a little and then got into the car.

Actually, there wasn't much to tidy up at home, as the previous items had all been forcibly taken away, leaving behind an empty house.

Shen Yuexin took her seat in the back early on.

The reason for sitting in the back was two-fold, one because she was used to sitting in the back, and the other was out of courtesy.

Many people preferred the front seat because they could enjoy the scenery and talk without having to turn their heads, especially those like Wang Shufen who rarely rode in cars.

After greeting Li Dazhu, Ye Ling drove back to Donghai City.

The journey was silent.

Maybe because Wang Shufen was getting on in years, Ye Ling maintained a steady speed, not too fast.

About two hours later, the Land Rover stopped in front of the villa.

"Auntie, I'm going to head home now, goodbye."

Shen Yuexin got out of the car and greeted Wang Shufen. seaʀᴄh thё NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Wang Shufen said, "Wait, let Lingzi take you back. It might not be convenient for a young girl like you to take the bus, right?"

"It's fine, my home is right here." Shen Yuexin pointed to the villa next to them.

Behind Ye Ling's car were several luxury cars that had been repaired, ready to take Shen Yuexin home even if this wasn't her place.

"Ah, is it that close?"

Wang Shufen immediately smiled and said, "Then, if you have time, you should come over more often."

"Yeah, I will, but it's not always convenient." Shen Yuexin said and walked away.

"Not convenient?"

Wang Shufen turned to Ye Ling, "Why isn't it convenient? Are you afraid I'll disturb you guys?"

"No, no, Mom, don't overthink it, let's go inside," Ye Ling said helplessly.

"Such a big house..."

Wang Shufen entered the villa, looking around curiously.

It was no wonder she acted this way. After all, she was a woman who had grown up in the countryside. She had seen villas on TV but had never set foot in one before.

"Lingzi, did you buy this villa yourself?" Wang Shufen asked excitedly.

Ye Ling shook his head, "No, Mom, it's rented."

"Rented? Such a luxurious villa must cost quite a bit per month, right?"

"80,000."

"80,000? What are you doing renting a villa for nothing? Ordinary houses are fine to live in, this is too wasteful," Wang Shufen said, feeling the pinch.

That was 80,000 yuan!

Many farmers toiling away in the countryside couldn't earn 80,000 in a whole year.

"It's alright, Mom, we have money now."

Ye Ling said with a smile, "Please, go inside and take a seat. I'll take care of the stuff."

"Should we change into slippers? The floor's so clean."

"Such a big fridge? And there's not that much to store, why get such a big fridge?"

"Ouch, look at this TV. What's it called again? Right, a wall-mounted television. This must be over 70 inches, right? Much better than the one we had at home."

"Tsk tsk, look at these stairs, they are even the spiral kind! Rich people really know how to live it up."

Wang Shufen stood at the door surveying everything, but just wouldn't go inside.

Ye Ling said helplessly, "Mom, please go in and rest for a bit. There's no need to change shoes, it's fine."

Hearing this, Wang Shufen carefully stepped inside, as if she was afraid she might break the floor.

Ye Ling was also puzzled. Why was the house so clean? It was in a messy state when he had left!

Moving Wang Shufen's things into the villa, Ye Ling took out two bottles of mineral water from the fridge and handed one to Wang Shufen.

"Lingzi, I think we shouldn't stay here. 80,000 a month is too expensive," Wang Shufen said after taking a sip of water.

Ye Ling chuckled, "It's fine, I rented this before. It's not for much longer. I've made some money doing business recently, and I plan to buy it when the landlord comes back."

Ye Ling did indeed have this in mind. He had already set up the Array, so could he really change houses now? That would be too much of a hassle.

Wang Shufen exclaimed, "Buy it? I may not be very worldly, but I know this is the center of Donghai City! Even the cheapest apartment around here starts at twenty thousand per square meter. Not to mention this villa, can you afford it?"

Ye Ling feigned dissatisfaction, "Mom, are you looking down on your son?"

"How could I? I know my own son, but a villa like this doesn't come cheap, right?"

"Not sure, but given the square footage, it's probably at least tens of millions."

Wang Shufen's eyes widened, "Tens of millions? That expensive? How much have you made to be able to buy this place?"

"A few billion, I guess."

After Ye Ling finished speaking and saw Wang Shufen's eyes widen again as if she was about to say something, he hurriedly took out a bank card and placed it in front of her.

"Mom, there's a billion in this bank card, and the PIN is your birthday. Buy whatever you want with it. For big expenses, use the card, and for smaller ones, you can withdraw some cash first."

This bank card had been prepared by Ye Ling in advance.

"1... 1 billion?!"

Hearing this number, Wang Shufen was even more flabbergasted.

She had never heard of so much money, let alone owning it.

Ye Ling shook his head helplessly and stopped worrying about Wang Shufen. He turned and left the first floor, intending to check on the Spiritual Medicine he'd planted in the yard.

As for Wang Shufen, he'd let her digest the news on her own.
