At this moment, the Ye Family members saw Ye Jingyi talking with Jiang Chen in the courtyard and decided not to bother with them anymore. They would wait for Ye Jingyi to come back before discussing further.
When Wang Dongyang returned to the living room, he casually picked up the contract Jiang Chen had left on the shoe cabinet. As soon as he opened it, his eyes lit up—it was a loan contract from Wanguo Bank for fifty million.
"Huh? What's this?" Ye Yanni saw her husband holding some documents and leaned over to take a glance. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "A credit contract from Wanguo Bank? Fifty million?!"
"What?"
Zhou Ru and Ye Jianxiong both exclaimed in astonishment and took a look. It indeed was, and they became very excited.
"Wait, who brought this here? There isn't even a signature?" Ye Jianxiong noticed the lack of a signature and asked in confusion.
Wang Dongyang's expression changed slightly. He had seen Jiang Chen place it on the shoe cabinet and hesitated over whether to reveal that or not.
"Was it you, Dongyang?" Ye Yanni suddenly embraced Wang Dongyang, "You've been outside these past few days without a word to me. So you've been dealing with this matter for the family, oh my, I love you to death!"
"Muah, muah, muah—" Ye Yanni hugged Wang Dongyang and gave him several kisses.
Wang Dongyang's eyes rolled as his thoughts quickly turned.
Since only he knew that Jiang Chen had brought the contract and there was no name signed, and considering his good relationship with the branch manager of Wanguo Bank's Jinhai West branch, this was practically a done deal. Just a signature and a stamp, and who managed it didn't really matter.
He wasn't going to let this opportunity for credit pass him by!
Wang Dongyang finally raised his head and spoke with an air of candor, "Yes! I've been busy with this the last few days. Now we've finally secured it. Father-in-law and mother-in-law don't have to worry anymore. Jing Yi doesn't have to fret over this matter either. We can all relax now."
Even he admired how well he faked it.
Ye Jianxiong laughed and patted Wang Dongyang on the shoulder, "Dongyang is indeed capable, a fine son-in-law that I chose."
Zhou Ru clutched the contract tightly in her hands, her face beaming with a smile, "Indeed, Dongyang is capable, getting real work done. So much better than that useless Jiang Chen."
"Of course, just look at the husband I found."
Ye Yanni wore a showy expression, holding onto Wang Dongyang's arm proudly.
Although nobody in the family said it out loud, Ye Yanni was clear in her heart that everyone considered her inferior to Ye Jingyi. Now that Wang Dongyang had solved a huge problem for the family and Ye Jingyi had married a spineless man who relied on women, Ye Yanni felt a significant sense of satisfaction and considered herself to have wholly surpassed Ye Jingyi.
"Haha, don't praise me too much, I'll get embarrassed," Wang Dongyang said while laughing heartily, feigning modesty yet feeling elated on the inside.
Just then, Jiang Chen walked in, pulling Ye Jingyi with him.
Upon hearing the Ye Family's words, Jiang Chen was stunned.
What? How did the contract become Wang Dongyang's achievement? It was clearly mine.
Seeing Jiang Chen, Zhou Ru immediately shouted, "You scammer, how dare you come back?"
Jiang Chen frowned and pointed at Wang Dongyang, "I'm sorry, but the contract he's holding, I'm the one who secured it."
Wang Dongyang's smile stiffened, and the corners of his mouth twitched.
The Ye family members were all taken aback for a moment and looked at Jiang Chen in a strange way.
Ye Jingyi, unaware of the contract details, looked at Jiang Chen, reached out to take the contract, and her eyes instantly brightened.
A fifty million loan contract, now the company's financial issues might be solved.
But Ye Yanni wouldn't have it, and she jumped out, raising her voice by an octave, "Jiang Chen, you're truly a master scammer, addicted to lying, aren't you? You secured this contract? Do you have the ability? Huh? Who do you think you are? A man living off a woman getting a fifty-million credit contract? The bank wouldn't fall for your nonsense!"
Zhou Ru also faced him with a cold expression, pointing at Jiang Chen's nose, "You're trying to steal the credit? Why don't you take a look at yourself in the mirror? Get lost, now!"
Ye Jianxiong's face darkened as he sneered coldly, "I've lived half a lifetime and haven't seen a scammer as shameless as you. You'll claim anything, lie about anything."
Seeing his family believing him, Wang Dongyang breathed a sigh of relief and then mockingly said to Jiang Chen, "Really, Jiang Chen, as a man and a son-in-law, I almost felt sorry for you. But now you're shamelessly trying to steal my credit? Now I understand why the Li family kicked you out. Absolutely shameless!"
"You... you all..."
Jiang Chen pointed at the entire Li family, dumbfounded with anger. When he turned his head, he looked towards Ye Jingyi.
But with that look, his heart turned cold.
It was clear from Ye Jingyi's eyes that she felt displeased, disdainful, and distrustful.
This time, she truly did not believe in Jiang Chen. The last time at Liu Zejiang's place, she had been with Jiang Chen, and Liu Zejiang had said right in front of both of them that he absolutely would not lend her the money again.
Thus, the contract now could definitely not have been resolved by Jiang Chen.
And since her brother-in-law had good relations with Wanguo Bank, it must have been him who pulled some strings.
Therefore, Ye Jingyi was utterly disappointed with Jiang Chen's behavior of lying to her face and trying to take the credit.
This Jiang Chen really wasn't much of a man.
Perhaps, should she consider divorcing him?
"Fine! You all are great!"
Jiang Chen understood, and with a rage in his heart, he stamped his foot and turned to walk out of the Ye Family's house.
No one stopped him, not even Ye Jingyi.
Watching Jiang Chen's sorrowful retreat, Wang Dongyang sneered inwardly. Kid, do you know the Ye family as well as I do? Heh, you're far from being able to compete with me.
After leaving the villa, Jiang Chen didn't even hail a taxi and just wandered away, lost and dejected.
As he walked, he thought about the recent events and grew increasingly angry.
What on earth was all this!
He had been busy for days, treating people's illnesses, enduring their disdain, and it wasn't easy to secure the loan contract for Jingyi, only for it to end up in Wang Dongyang's hands in a blink of an eye.
Having it stolen wasn't enough, but on top of that, they called him a liar and shameless?
Where was justice in this!
It was infuriating!
"Ring-ring—"
Jiang Chen was steaming with anger when his phone rang.
Glancing at his phone, Jiang Chen almost didn't want to answer it, but he ultimately did.
"Hello, Manager Liu."
"Mr. Jiang, I'm terribly sorry, really apologize, there's been a hitch with the matter you entrusted to me," Liu Zejiang's voice came through, full of apologies.
"What happened?" Jiang Chen was taken aback, quite surprised.
"Here's the thing, the contract that President Zhu signed for you this morning, just now President Zhu received a notice from the head office to tighten financial lending within our country. Even if President Zhu signed and stamped it, it can't get through the head office, so... the loan can't be made at the moment."
Listening to Liu Zejiang's explanation over the phone, Jiang Chen was stunned for a while.
Then, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he laughed.
Ha ha, great! Great! Great! It can't be loaned, this is just perfect!
And Liu Zejiang, hearing Jiang Chen's silence, thought Jiang Chen was angry, and quickly started apologizing more frantically:
"I'm really sorry! Mr. Jiang, I wasn't trying to fool you, President Zhu truly appreciates you. It's just that this notice was only just received, I'm so sorry, President Zhu also asked me to apologize to you..."
"It's fine, it's fine, no need to apologize," Jiang Chen laughed out loud. "Really, I'm not angry at all, and there's no problem, I should be thanking you."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen's mood brightened, his worries disappeared like smoke, and his steps became lighter.
Just reaching the roadside, a taxi came by, and Jiang Chen happily hailed the cab and left.
