Chapter 520: Chapter 516: Teaching Ye Lingchen a Lesson

Beep beep——

The phone receiver emitted the waiting tone.

[Ye Lingchen: Sister Xiaocao?]

The call connected, and Ye Lingchen’s somewhat surprised voice came through the receiver.

Upon hearing Ye Lingchen’s voice, Fang Xiaocao’s lips curled up into a smile.

[Fang Xiaocao: Yes, it’s your sister.]

[Ye Lingchen: Sister Xiaocao, do you need something from me?]

Fang Xiaocao thought Ye Lingchen seemed to have gotten smarter, knowing she had something to discuss with him.

And not just a boring catch-up.

The landlord’s silly son becoming too smart isn’t necessarily a good thing.

Not only for Fang Xiaocao, it’s not a good thing.

It’s also not good for Ye Lingchen himself.

The reason why Ye Lingchen navigated the Jianghu, always turning danger into safety, successfully exchanging for ransom,

has a certain relationship with him being adequately silly.

Who wouldn’t want a future heir of a family with a Super Master to be a foolish boy with a screw loose?

The future heir of the Ye Family being a foolish boy, the landlord’s silly son, at least implies Ye Lingchen has no ambition.

In that way, everyone can be happy.

There’s no need to worry that in the future, when Ye Lingchen takes over the Ye Family, he will want to annex the various factions.

So no one will harm Ye Lingchen.

They might even subconsciously protect him.

And earn a bit of ransom money in the process.

But if Ye Lingchen becomes smarter——

it could shatter some people’s illusions.

At that time, Ye Lingchen’s navigation of the Jianghu may not be as safe as it is now.

Fang Xiaocao felt it was necessary to remind the landlord’s silly son to continue hiding his brilliance.

[Fang Xiaocao: Little Chen, do you know what kind of role King Yue Goujian played while he was enduring hardships?]

Fang Xiaocao quite liked Ye Lingchen. It was the kind of fondness an elder sister has for her younger brother, finding this landlord’s silly son, whether truly silly or not, quite adorable. Ye Lingchen had also helped her a lot.

[Ye Lingchen: Huh?]

[Ye Lingchen: Timid and afraid, a mediocrity?]

Hearing Ye Lingchen’s response over the phone, Fang Xiaocao laughed.

It seemed the landlord’s silly son wasn’t actually that silly, at least he’d learned what he should.

[Fang Xiaocao: It’s about acting foolish enough.]

[Fang Xiaocao: Some people, before gaining enough strength or power for self-preservation, aren’t suited to appear too smart. Sometimes, staying foolish longer is actually safer, understand?]

Fang Xiaocao didn’t beat around the bush and got straight to the main point to remind Ye Lingchen.

[Ye Lingchen: Hehe, I get it.]

Soon, Fang Xiaocao heard the familiar silly laughter over the phone.

At this moment, the landlord’s silly son was back.

Fang Xiaocao showed a satisfied expression.

[Fang Xiaocao: Keep it up. When you call the shots in the Ye Family, that’s when you can start being smart. It will do you nothing but good.]

[Ye Lingchen: I got it.]

[Ye Lingchen: So, sister, do you need something?]

[Fang Xiaocao: Yes!]

[Fang Xiaocao: Sister is short on money lately, where are you now? Sister is planning to rob you.]

At that moment, Fang Xiaocao showed a fox-like smile.

Mischievous and very crafty.

Ye Lingchen on the other end of the line fell silent.

[Ye Lingchen: Sister, is it really okay for you to say this to me?]

Ye Lingchen’s voice carried a hint of grievance.

[Fang Xiaocao: What’s wrong with it?]

[Fang Xiaocao: Our sibling relationship, do we need to bother with those formalities?]

[Fang Xiaocao: Or should we go through the motions?]

Fang Xiaocao’s straightforwardness made Ye Lingchen on the other end question life a bit.

"Isn’t it?"

"Isn’t this too much?"

"I’m silly but not really dumb!"

Ye Lingchen couldn’t help but grumble internally.

[Fang Xiaocao: Just be straightforward, will you help or not?]

Fang Xiaocao ignored Ye Lingchen’s hesitation.

She directly asked if he would help.

Their relationship was close enough, no need for pretense.

That would only create a sense of distance.

[Ye Lingchen: How many billions do you need?]

Ye Lingchen weakly asked.

[Fang Xiaocao: Ten!]

[Fang Xiaocao: I’ll pay you back in a month!]

Fang Xiaocao didn’t stand on ceremony with Ye Lingchen.

She immediately asked for ten billion.

Anyway, the Ye Family is wealthy, and the money unit Ye Lingchen uses is billions, not millions, showing that in the Ye Family’s eyes, Fang Xiaocao’s favor is worth billions.

[Ye Lingchen: That’s a bit much. I’ll go ask Uncle Long, I’ll get back to you in a bit.]

Ye Lingchen didn’t refuse, but mentioned needing to consult with Long Lie, not his father.

This indicated that giving Fang Xiaocao one billion didn’t yet require the Head of the Ye Family’s approval.

[Fang Xiaocao: Okay, waiting for your reply.]

Fang Xiaocao knew it was basically a done deal.

As Ye Lingchen hung up the phone, Fang Xiaocao put away her phone as well. If not for the intense crisis given by Hot Noodles, Fang Xiaocao wouldn’t have easily used resources from the Ye Family.

Unless she could stand on equal footing with the Ye Family, otherwise using their goodwill once would mean having less in the future.

The reason is simple, the position and strength of the two aren’t equal, Fang Xiaocao doesn’t have many chances to repay them.

"I can only take one step at a time."

"First get that painting, get through this crisis, and then think about other things."

Fang Xiaocao murmured to herself while sitting on the bed.

Knock knock knock——

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Fang Xiaocao came back to her senses: "What’s up?"

"Princess Your Highness, the Prince of the Ye Family, Ye Lingchen, and Mr. Long Lie are here."

Taotie’s voice came from outside.

"So soon?"

Hearing that, Fang Xiaocao was slightly taken aback.

She had barely ended her call with Ye Lingchen.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lingchen and Long Lie came by so quickly.

"Hold on!"

Fang Xiaocao replied.

She tidied up her somewhat messy attire.

Squeak——

Fang Xiaocao opened the door.

And saw Ye Lingchen and Long Lie standing together with Taotie.

"Little Chen, you’re so fast."

Fang Xiaocao playfully tousled Ye Lingchen’s meticulously combed hair.

Ye Lingchen’s face immediately scrunched up like a bun.

"Sister Xiaocao, my hair!"

Ye Lingchen shouted, aggrieved.

"Ah, don’t mind those details, come in, sister missed you so much."

Fang Xiaocao enthusiastically pulled the landlord’s silly son (God of Wealth) into the room.

"Mr. Long Lie, please come in."

Knowing how formidable Long Lie was, Taotie displayed reliability and invited Long Lie in.

Long Lie nodded politely and walked into the room.

Fortunately, the rooms arranged by Tang Sect were suites, and large enough, so the four of them sitting on the sofa didn’t feel crowded at all.

"Miss Fang, the young master has already told me about it. My opinion is to deal with this matter from the young master’s personal vault as a private matter between you two, unrelated to the Ye Family."

"Whether you return it or not, it’s a matter of personal grievance between you and the young master, and the Ye Family won’t interfere. What do you think, Miss Fang?"

After the guests and the host were seated, Long Lie sat on the sofa in a straightforward manner and got straight to the point.
