Sure enough, Chen Jinguang called the next night and confirmed that Chen Ye was in China. He then said that he would come to her house for dinner the next night and discuss which cemetery to choose.

Chen Ye didn't want him to come home, saying that there was no aunt to cook at home and that Uncle Li usually cooked for Chen Chen, so he invited Chen Jinguang to a restaurant outside.

Chen Jinguang said it was okay, he could ask his aunt to come over to cook, and ask his aunt and sister-in-law to help. No one had lived in the house for a long time, so they needed more people to make it more lively.

Chen Ye didn't want to break up with him at this time, so he agreed.

Zhu Meiling and his aunt came knocking on the door early in the morning, with her aunt carrying large and small bags of materials.

Zhu Meiling said she was here to help, but she never went into the kitchen. She looked around Chen Ye's house with a hint of envy in her eyes. Then she sat on the sofa and ordered Uncle Li to pour her tea, acting like the owner.

Chen Ye was not at home, so she went to the villa to take a look. Uncle Li did not come out because Zhu Meiling had come. However, the supplier called to say that some supplies had arrived and asked her to help sign for them.

In the afternoon, she went to the bank again, having made an appointment with the bank to withdraw money and buy gold bars.

She only came back after Chen Chen called her again and again in the evening.

When she opened the door, everyone in the room looked at her. Chen Chen jumped up with a smile, "My sister is back!"

Chen Ye glanced at the people in the room. Not one was missing. They were all there.

Chen Jinguang sat on the sofa in the middle, not saying anything, looking at her with a slight smile. Zhu Meiling and Chen Yuan sat on the sofa on the left, also looking over with a smile. Wang Yao and Chen Xing sat on the sofa on the right.

Compared to her last appearance in her previous life, she looks pretty good now, with a rosy complexion and a plump figure.

This was the first time she had met them after her rebirth. The scene in her previous life where they held Chen Chen's fragile life to threaten her played over and over in her mind. She clenched her fists, anger surging in her forehead.

She took a deep breath and said nothing, hiding her hatred in her heart while changing her shoes. Then she slowly walked over and greeted them one by one.

They were all sitting upright on the sofa, while she, the host, standing in front of them, looked more like a guest.

Chen Ye recalled the past, it seemed that they had always been like this. How blind was she in her previous life that she could not see their condescending faces.

They spend a lot of money given by their parents every year, but they feel that they are the noble family that should be attached to. They say they are a family, but they can kill a pair of relatives who have lost their parents.

Zhu Meiling patted Chen Yuan on the shoulder and asked her to make room for him. She then asked Chen Ye to sit down.

Chen Ye looked at it, said nothing, then turned around and sat down on the single sofa opposite Chen Jinguang.

If she could, she would rush up and kill them right now. She didn't even want to say a word.

Chen Jinguang felt a little unhappy about being disobeyed when he saw her losing her usual manners. But when he looked at her face that looked like his brother, the unhappy feeling in his heart slowly faded away.

They were discussing site selection, but it was mostly Chen Jinguang who did all the talking, while Chen Ye just listened without saying a word, occasionally nodding or humming.

Chen Jinguang just thought she was young and had no opinion, and he was used to having his way. Seeing Chen Ye so obedient and pleasing him greatly, he thought her rude behavior was just because the child was sad and didn't want to talk.

According to Chen Jinguang, the site should be chosen closer to facilitate future worship.

Chen Jinguang believed in many rules. He said that after the tomb site was chosen, according to the rules, it would take another half a year before the tombstone could be erected, and an auspicious day had to be chosen for the tombstone...

Chen Ye's chuckle suddenly sounded, and it was very harsh amidst Chen Jinguang's voice.

Everyone looked at her.

Zhu Meiling looked at her husband's gloomy face, then looked at Chen Ye's unruly smile, and said carefully: "Xiao Ye, what are you laughing at? Is there something wrong with what your uncle said?"

"Nothing, I just thought it was funny." Chen Ye said lazily, "Uncle, my parents' bodies are gone, just a tombstone. Even a tombstone is not necessary, if you are interested, you can just set up a tablet at home."

"Nonsense. We Chinese believe in returning to one's roots and resting in peace. Your parents are in business, so they must mean the same thing."

Chen Ye grew up in Country Y, so he didn't know much about many old things. He only heard his parents mention some of them occasionally, which was not very comprehensive. He also learned some of them by himself when he looked up information.

She admitted that what Chen Jinguang said made sense, but somehow, she was still burning with anger and felt very uncomfortable. She just wanted to contradict him on purpose.

I wanted to see what it would be like for this man who holds one of the highest positions in power in this city to be irritated by me.

"I understand that you are sad about your parents' death, but you are not a child anymore. There are some things you cannot say nonsense about."

Chen Ye glanced at him. His face looked very ugly at this moment, and there were two clusters of anger hidden in his eyes behind his glasses. It was obvious that he was still trying hard to suppress it.

Perhaps he was used to giving orders, and no one had ever disobeyed him. He felt very uncomfortable when Chen Ye said this.

"Then you choose, I don't care. I guess I won't come back in the future, I will offer them another tablet."

After hearing Chen Ye's words, before Chen Jinguang could react, Zhu Meiling screamed: "Not coming back? What about your house and those shops?"

Chen Ye looked at her with a sneer on his face.

Ah.

After their family moved in in the previous life, Zhu Meiling was heard more than once sighing that she had finally got her wish and lived in a luxurious house.

Chen Jinguan bought his house 20 years ago, which is considered an old city area. His father actually mentioned buying them a house, and chose a prosperous area in the city center for them. However, Chen Jinguan refused because he was concerned about the eyes of others and the impact on his political career.

Zhu Meiling had quarreled with him many times over this matter.

Now that Chen Ye's parents have passed away, when he heard that she was going to settle in Country Y and didn't want to come back, his first reaction was of course to want this house.

Chen Jinguang frowned unhappily, but still maintained his upright and selfless face, "What are you talking about? We are talking about the issue of choosing a burial site. What does it have to do with the house?"

"Sell it." Chen Ye glanced at Chen Jinguang, then turned to Zhu Meiling and said lightly.

“Sell…sell…”

"Xiao Ye, if you're not in urgent need of the money, you can keep it. We can help you manage it." Chen Xing said hurriedly as he sat aside. "Besides, the price of this area has risen very fast in recent years. It would be a bit of a loss to sell it now..."

"I'm in urgent need of money." Chen Ye certainly knew what they were planning, but he just couldn't let them get what they wanted.

In her previous life, her parents would definitely be willing to give them the house directly. But now Chen Ye felt sick when he looked at their faces. Although it was not the end of the world yet, the look in her eyes was calculating, but not as cruel as in the end of the world, and there was still some cheap family affection.

But she couldn't forget it. She couldn't pretend it never happened.

Chen Jinguang's eyes suddenly snapped, "You want to settle down in Country Y? Then why did you arrange for Uncle Li to make a large purchase? Aren't you planning to come back to develop your business?"

Chen Ye's heart was shocked. He turned his gaze to look at Uncle Li, and they were both stunned.

How did he know about this?

Zhu Meiling saw her reaction and thought she didn't know anything, and just thought she was questioning Uncle Li at this moment. So she glanced at Uncle Li with a sneer on her face and said in a gloomy tone: "Xiao Ye, are you being used by someone? They are using the resources given by your uncle, using your name, and secretly doing something small in private..."

Chen Yuan and Wang Yao also echoed.

Chen Xing was also sneering at the side, "After all, he is an outsider. Even if he has been with me for so long, he is still selfish and greedy."

Uncle Li lowered his head and said nothing.

Chen Ye glanced at them. Wasn't it selfishness and greed that was said of them? She said coldly, "Uncle Li has been with my father all his life. Even if he really wanted to do some business privately, he would support it if my father was still alive. Don't be so harsh with your words."

A few of them felt a little embarrassed and didn't say anything else.

Chen Jinguang didn't say anything, just stared at Chen Ye and Uncle Li. His heart was full of doubts, and he always felt that things were not like this, but he couldn't tell what it was.

Not long after, my aunt called everyone to eat, which just solved the dilemma.
