Reborn back to the day I descended the mountain, Miss Ji, I will take responsibility for you!

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu blushed and immediately retorted, "Impossible!"

Ye Chen didn't speak, but just looked at Ji Ruoyu with a half-smile.

Ji Ruoyu's face grew increasingly red, and she was about to become angry and embarrassed.

Ye Chen said, "Okay, I can do as you say, but I won't refuse if you take the initiative."

Ji Ruoyu took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to beat Ye Chen up.

He said, "Okay, I will draft a contract regarding the relevant details, and we will act in accordance with the contract when the time comes."

Ye Chen was speechless upon hearing this, realizing that the two sisters were quite similar in this respect, always talking about contracts.

After finishing this story, Ji Ruoyu frowned and said, "You made that bet in front of everyone today, and I'm afraid you won't be able to renege on it later. We need to think about our escape route in advance."

"So that if we end up being kicked out and have nowhere to go, we won't be left with nothing."

Ji Ruoyu's tone was somewhat reproachful, but she did not blame Ye Chen for it.

Looking at Ji Ruoyu's worried face, Ye Chen said with a smile, "You don't even have this much confidence in your husband?"

Ji Ruoyu rolled her eyes in annoyance and said, "Who do you think you are? Do you know how powerful the Qin family is? Unless you are Du Haijun of Wucheng, I might still have a chance, otherwise we are bound to lose."

Ye Chen smiled slightly upon hearing this and said, "Believe it or not, I can get Du Haijun to come crawling to me and fawn over me with just one phone call."

Ji Ruoyu said with a speechless expression, "So that's why it's so dark. It turns out it was all just your boasting."

She really didn't know where Ye Chen got the confidence to say such things.

Just as Ye Chen was about to explain, Ji Ruoyu's phone suddenly rang.

Taking out her phone and seeing the number on it, Ji Ruoyu felt utterly disgusted, as if she had swallowed a fly.

Seeing this expression, Ye Chen realized something and asked, "Why is it your ex-fiancé calling?"

He has now registered his marriage with Ji Ruoyu, and the news has already spread.

At this moment, what could elicit this expression from Ji Ruoyu?

I'm afraid it can only be her ex-fiancé, Wang Baji, the notorious playboy of Wucheng.

"It's none of your business, I'll handle it myself."

Ji Ruoyu hung up the phone immediately after saying that, but before he could do anything, the phone rang again.

No matter how many times Ji Ruoyu hung up, the other party remained relentless.

Seeing Ji Ruoyu's furrowed brows, Ye Chen's lips curled into a wicked smile.

He took the phone directly from Ji Ruoyu and answered the call.

"What are you doing!" Ji Ruoyu exclaimed in surprise.

Ye Chen did make a shushing gesture, then said impatiently, "What are you doing? I'm busy with all this phone calls!"

An angry voice came from the other end of the phone: "Who are you? How did you get Ruoyu's phone?"

"I'm Ji Ruoyu's husband, and she's busy right now," Ye Chen said with a mischievous grin.

As he spoke, Ye Chen looked at Ji Ruoyu, raised his phone, and saw the message: "Call twice."

Seeing Ye Chen's mischievous grin, Ji Ruoyu immediately understood and blushed deeply.

The voice on the other end of the phone roared, "What is she busy with? Why isn't she answering the phone!"

“She’s not available right now.” As he spoke, Ye Chen typed another line of text on his phone.

Do you want to get rid of this young master's entanglement? If so, just call out twice.

Ji Ruoyu blushed, gritted her teeth, and let out a soft moan.

Ye Chen also put down his phone and clapped his hands rhythmically to match Ji Ruoyu's moans, making a "clap clap clap" sound.

"What are you doing!" The voice on the other end of the phone was furious.

Ye Chen grinned mischievously, "Can't you tell what I'm doing?"

"Asshole! You..."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Ye Chen hung up the phone and then blocked the number.

Putting down his phone, Ye Chen looked at Ji Ruoyu and said, "I think Young Master Wang won't be able to sleep tonight."

Ji Ruoyu's face was still a little flushed, and she glared at Ye Chen in annoyance.

Turning around, Ye Chen walked towards the inner room, following Ji Ruoyu inside.

But Ji Ruoyu blocked him at the door and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Go to sleep!" Ye Chen said matter-of-factly.

Ji Ruoyu pointed to a cabinet on one side of the living room and said, "There are bedding inside. You can sleep in the living room! Don't forget what you promised me."

Ye Chen shrugged and said, "I just helped you solve a big problem. Don't you think you should reward me?"

"Don't worry, since I promised you, I definitely won't do anything reckless."

The only response Ye Chen received was the cold sound of the door closing and the click of the lock.

Ye Chen stood in front of the door, touched his nose, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Turning around, Ye Chen was too lazy to make a makeshift bed on the floor and lay down on the sofa. He took out his phone and sent a message to Du Haijun.

The next day, Ye Chen got up early and, as usual, went to the courtyard to find an open space to practice his skills.

Half an hour later, Ye Chen finished his practice and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Thinking that Ji Ruoyu should be waking up soon, he headed towards the villa.

In his mind, he was thinking about some of the things he had experienced in his previous life.

Just as I reached the door, I saw Ji Ruoyu also come out of the room.

Upon seeing Ye Chen, Ji Ruoyu frowned and asked, "Where have you been?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Nothing much, just went for a walk in the yard."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu did not press further, but instead said, "Let's go, I'll take you to have breakfast."

Ye Chen was feeling a bit hungry, so he followed Ji Ruoyu toward the main residence of the Ji family.

Upon entering the main house, the Ji family's great-grandmother was already seated in the main seat, drinking millet porridge with a spoon.

Upon seeing Ji Ruoyu and Xiao Chen, a kind smile immediately appeared on his face as he said, "Xiao Chen, Ruoyu got up so early, why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

These words had a double meaning, and Ji Ruoyu's face immediately turned slightly red.

Ye Chen smiled and replied, "I was just thinking of coming to see Great-Grandma as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, the great-grandmother of the Ji family smiled even more broadly and quickly invited the two of them to sit down and eat.

Ye Chen's gaze did indeed fall on a peach wood sword hanging on the wall behind the Ji family's great-grandmother.

In Ye Chen's eyes, the peach wood sword was emanating a faint black aura.

It was falling steadily below, onto the great-grandmother of the Ji family.

Having the experience of his previous life, Ye Chen knew that this peach wood sword, which was called a house-protecting weapon but was actually an evil object, was the source of the sudden illness of the Ji family's great-grandmother.

This peach wood sword was painstakingly retrieved from outside by Ji Ruoyu's uncle, Ji Xiaoren.

Just then, Ji Xiaoren and Ji Ruoyun walked in. Upon seeing Ye Chen, Ji Ruoyun snorted coldly and turned her head away.

Ye Chen glanced at Ji Xiaoren, then with his hand under the table, he drew a talisman in the air and flicked his finger.

A flash of yellow light disappeared in an instant, and the talisman landed on the peach wood sword.

The black energy that had been dissipating was immediately sealed back into the peach wood sword.

But laymen can't see any of this.

When the great-grandmother of the Ji family saw Ji Xiaoren arrive, she thought of something and said, "It's good that Xiaoren has come. Now Ye Chen is also a member of the Ji family. I remember there is still a vacancy for vice president in the group. I think Ye Chen is just right."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyun's expression immediately changed, not to mention the power of the vice president.

A salary of tens of millions a year is a position that countless people would fight tooth and nail for.

What makes Ye Chen, a country bumpkin, so special? And this will also affect their control over the group.

"Mom, I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate. The position of vice president is of great importance."

"Xiao Chen is new to the job and has no experience. His sudden appointment may cause dissatisfaction among his subordinates."

"In the past, it wouldn't have been a big deal, but now the company is already in turmoil, and if we cause unrest among the staff, it would be a loss that outweighs the gains."

Upon hearing this, the great-grandmother of the Ji family frowned. Seeing this, Ji Xiaoren quickly looked at Ye Chen and asked, "Xiao Chen, which university did you attend, and what degree did you receive?"

Ye Chen was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then said nonchalantly, "I didn't go to university, I didn't even graduate from elementary school."

He went up the mountain with his master when he was young, and everything he learned was taught by his master.

He learned all sorts of things, including medicine, cooking, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and divination, and became proficient in everything.

While he was in the mountains, he was also invited to give online lectures to university students from prestigious universities.

He was invited to become a professor at Tsinghua and Peking Universities in China, and at Harvard and Tsinghua Universities abroad, but he declined all offers.

So if we're judging by diplomas, then he definitely didn't graduate from primary school.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyun immediately retorted sarcastically, "Not graduating from primary school means you're illiterate. If someone like that becomes a vice president, our Ji family will be laughed at to death."

"Someone like him wouldn't even be qualified to clean toilets at our Ji Group."

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyu frowned, stood up, and said, "Not having a diploma doesn't mean you're incapable. Show me some respect!"

Ye Chen was somewhat moved to see Ji Ruoyu defend him.

Just then, Ji Ruoyu's phone rang. Upon seeing the number, Ji Ruoyu frowned slightly.

He answered the phone and said, "Xiao Yao, what's wrong? Why are you calling me at this hour?"

"President Ji, something terrible has happened! There's a problem with the payment from Tianchen Company, and our people have been detained!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Ruoyun's lips curled into a cold smile.
