Dragon Clan: I'm too lazy to talk to you, you're not worthy to listen!

Chapter 186 Undercurrent

"What? You're saying those incompetent fools have taken over two-thirds of the coastal trading ports for trade!"

Chen Motong said incredulously that she had received a call from someone in her family's inner circle.

He was so anxious he was stomping his feet, wishing he could just throw his phone away!

The person on the other end of the phone was busy calming Chen Motong down, explaining in a flustered and anxious manner:

"Miss, please don't worry. The heads of the family discussed this in a meeting. The two-thirds of the trading ports that were taken out for trade were mostly unprofitable goods."

"You don't know anything! The trading ports they used for the transactions were all left to me by my mother..." Chen Motong pursed his lips, shook his head speechlessly, "Forget it, I'm not talking to you anymore. If there are any other situations, remember to report to me in time!"

Whether I marry him or not is another matter!

The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Okay, miss, I'll keep an eye on things and contact you as soon as possible."

Chen Motong hung up the phone, feeling weak all over, and slumped into her chair.

Shudeya stood to the side, brought over a cup of hot water, and handed it to Chen Motong.

Chen Motong looked up and saw Aki's gentle face. She then took the cup and said, "Thank you, Aki-senpai."

"You're welcome." Jiu Deya straightened the wrinkles in her clothes and sat down in the chair opposite Chen Motong. "Junior Motong, what's wrong?"

Chen Motong took a small sip of hot water, looked at the rising steam from the cup, and shook her head helplessly. "Nothing much, those old fogies in the family, they're eating my bloodline and touching the inheritance my mother left me..."

After Chen Motong finished speaking, her dark red eyelashes drooped. As a woman, it is very difficult to protect one's assets, as they are always coveted by outsiders and even one's own family.

Either you become exceptionally strong and manage to retain your share of assets.

Either your lover has extraordinary abilities, which you can use as your dowry.

Upon hearing Chen Motong's words, Jiu Deya's eyes instantly turned cold.

The inheritance a mother leaves to her daughter will definitely include a dowry.

In any era, it is never honorable to arbitrarily alter a woman's dowry without her consent.

Even with the woman's consent, it's not something to be proud of.

"Junior Sister Mo Tong, what are you planning to do?" Shudeya asked, placing her hand on the back of Chen Mo Tong's hand.

Chen Motong was on the verge of tears, and pouted, saying, "What can I do? What else can I do but let that old man mess around with those measly few things!"

On a sudden inspiration, Shudeyaji raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and said:

"Junior Sister Mo Tong, aren't you and Ye Jingchen on pretty good terms? Why don't you ask him for help?"

"Find him?" Chen Motong looked into Jiu Deyaji's eyes and said without hesitation, "What's the difference between finding him and sending him away? Ye Jingchen is the kind of person who leaves his skin behind and takes a feather from a passing goose. You know that!"

“What you said makes some sense, but it’s not entirely right either.” Shudeya patted Chen Motong’s hand.

He moved a little closer to her. "Think about it. Ye Jingchen is currently short of talented people around him. Although he doesn't lack talent in Japan, he really does lack talent in China!"

"If you tell him about this, and he's willing to help you, then once you've acquired these ports, it would be perfectly logical for him to hand them over to you to manage!"

"Even if it nominally belongs to Ye Jingchen, it's still actually in your hands!"

"Go and talk to him about this. It's all beneficial and harmless. Even if he doesn't agree, we won't lose anything!"

After listening to what Jiu Deya said, Chen Motong felt that there was some truth to it and nodded.

Seeing Chen Motong nod, Jiu Deyaji breathed a sigh of relief, her inner monologue:

"Junior Sister Mo Tong, although my guidance is not only to help you resolve the inheritance issue left to you by your mother, but also to find an opportunity for myself to get close to Ye Jingchen and learn alchemy, my overall intention is still for your own good."

This is a great idea that will benefit both parties.

"Let's go now!" Chen Motong stood up and took out the keys to his red Ferrari. "If we go too late, Ye Jingchen might not even be home. He's never home."

Jiu Deya nodded, stood up and followed behind Chen Motong. Unlike Chen Motong, she didn't have the financial means to afford a Ferrari.

Thirty minutes later...

Chen Motong walked to the stairwell of the "villa" and rang the doorbell.

in the living room.

Xia Mi is putting a Little Husband Telephone Watch on Fenrir; the blue strap is the color of wisdom.

At this point, Fenrir had already taken human form.

Xia Mi received the news that Fenrir had finished cocooning, and got up at 5:30 in the morning to go to her Nibelungen and bring Fenrir over.

He explained some complex rules of human society to Fenrir, but Fenrir didn't remember much of them, except for one sentence: "Eat more, talk less."

To save money, Xia Mi personally shaved Fenrir's head into a neat, square buzz cut, making his head appear to be only slightly protruding.

Fenrir had short, black hair, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and stood 1.9 meters tall. His body was covered in muscles that looked like coiled dragons or cast concrete and steel bars.

"Ding-dong! Ding-dong!" The doorbell rang!

When Xia Mi heard the doorbell ring, she tore open a bag of potato chips and handed it to Fenrir. "You stay here and don't move. I'll be back in a bit!"

After Xia Mi finished speaking, she went downstairs, opened the door, and peeked out slightly to see who it was. "Oh! Senior Aki, Senior Mo Tong, hello!"

Shutoku Aki smiled and waved at Natsumi, saying, "Natsumi-senpai, hello there!"

Chen Motong was so anxious to find him that she forgot to greet him and asked anxiously, "Junior Sister Xia Mi, is Ye Jingchen at home?"

Xia Mi shook her head and looked at Chen Motong with some wariness, saying, "No, he's not here. The boss has been out for a while now; he's probably gone on a long trip."

"Oh..." Chen Motong looked somewhat disappointed and lowered her head slightly. "He's not here..."

Shudeya then asked, "By the way, Xia Mi, do you know the Lord of the Abandoned Clan? This mysterious figure appeared in our mission file for the Three Gorges Reservoir this time!"

Xia Mi, being intelligent, naturally saw that Ye Jingchen was intentionally creating a persona of a hidden agent, so she spoke to Jiu Deyaji, trying to be vague:

"You mean the Lord of the Abandoned Clan? I've heard the boss mention him before. He said the Lord of the Abandoned Clan is a very powerful and mysterious guy, but I don't know any other specific information."

Upon hearing this, Shudeya and Chen Motong exchanged a glance.

Jiu Deya: "For Ye Jingchen to say this, it's quite a high compliment."

Chen Motong: "Indeed, he doesn't usually praise people much. To be praised by him, one must at least be someone like Yuan Zhisheng."

Xia Mi led Chen Motong and Jiu Deya to the living room.

Fenrir was eating potato chips and watching TV when he saw guests arrive, so he put down his chips.

The cartoon's lyrics came from the TV: "Anytime, anywhere, super..."

Fenrir looked at Xia Mi, scratched his head, and said:

"Sister, who are these two people, sister?"
