Chapter 372 Mu Yuting helps Ye Chen analyze the problem
After leaving Kexin's house, Ye Chen called his father immediately.
Ye Xiangqian was abroad at the time.
Ye Chen asked directly, "Dad, what exactly happened between you and Uncle Ding?"
Ye Xiangqian was stunned for a moment and said, "Boy, why are you asking this? Our two families are not interfering with each other now. That old antique is not a good guy. He is ungrateful. Remember what I said, don't provoke him, stay away from him."
It seems that he also has a lot of opinions about Ding Zaihua.
Ye Chen smiled and said in a cheeky way, "Dad, you reminded me too late. I have already provoked your son, me, to fall in love with the daughter of the Ding family."
Ye Xiangqian instantly understood why Ye Chen asked about the previous grudge between the two families and cursed,
"You little bastard, why do you choose that stubborn old girl when you can choose any other girl? I'm telling you, I don't agree. I absolutely won't become his relative."
Ye Chen threatened calmly, "Dad, I will not marry anyone but Ding Kexin. If you don't agree, you can forget about being a grandfather in this life. I will become a monk."
Ye Chen immediately grasped Ye Xiangqian. He dreamed of becoming a grandfather, but his eldest son Ye Han and his wife were DINKs, so they could only rely on Ye Chen.
Besides, Ye Xiangqian had seen Kexin when she was little. She was a very lively and lovely girl. He and Ye Chen's mother liked her very much. If the two families had not fallen out at that time, they really planned to wait until the child grew up and become in-laws.
Unexpectedly, after more than ten years of no contact, the two children finally got together.
I can only say it is fate.
Ye Xiangqian was no longer stubborn and told the story of the past between him and Ding Zaihua.
Ding Zaihua hated him, and he felt aggrieved. He was sincere in his intention to lend Ding Zaihua 100 million yuan. The reason why he asked Ding Zaihua what the lowest price was was just to give him a reference, not to deliberately inquire about the lowest price.
The more Ye Xiangqian thought about it, the angrier he became. He said angrily,
"I agreed to lend Ding Zaihua 100 million yuan out of good intentions, but I didn't expect to be scolded. He was convinced that I had leaked the reserve price to the Guo family and betrayed him. He said I was heartless and a mean person. No matter how I explained, I wouldn't listen. It was completely unreasonable."
After complaining for a while, Ye Xiangqian asked, "Ye Chen, do you think Dad is that kind of person?"
Ye Chen comforted Ye Xiangqian, "Dad, it's because you are not that kind of person that I want to prove your innocence and resolve the misunderstanding between you. Dad, think about it again, have you ever told anyone?"
Ye Xiangqian recalled it carefully again. He was a businessman and of course knew the importance of the bidding floor price. Ding Zaihua told him the floor price because he trusted him. How could he tell others?
But there was a small episode in the middle, Ye Xiangqian said,
"I did mention it to your mother. I agreed to lend Ding Zaihua 100 million yuan, so I had to let her know. This is normal, right? Your mother also knows that the reserve price must be kept secret. She is more cautious than I am. She also told me not to reveal the reserve price to anyone.
Therefore, this reserve price was definitely not revealed by us.”
After hearing this, Ye Chen asked, "Where did you tell my mother? Was there anyone else present?"
"In our bedroom, I can't even shout about such an important matter on the street." Ye Xiangqian said confidently, "No outsiders will hear it."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen fell into deep thought again.
In other words, there are three people who know the reserve price now: Ding Zaihua, Ye Xiangqian, and Ye's mother.
But Ye Chen firmly believed that these three people would not reveal the bottom price.
The only breakthrough was Mr. Guo who had participated in the competition at the beginning.
After Ding Zaihua and Ye Xiangqian had a falling out, Ye Xiangqian also cut off contact with Mr. Guo. No matter from whom Mr. Guo got the bottom price, he despised this despicable practice.
So, from then on, Ye Xiangqian terminated all cooperation with Mr. Guo.
After Ye Chen returned home, he immediately turned on the computer and checked the information of Mr. Guo.
However, it was discovered that this person had died of cancer two years ago, and the mobile phone number he used had been cancelled, so it was impossible to track down any valuable clues.
This matter seems to have reached a dead end.
Ye Chen poured a glass of red wine and fell into deep thought while looking at his notebook.
It happened more than ten years ago, and he really couldn't think of where to start.
He took a sip of red wine, called Mu Yuting, and explained the whole story.
Then he asked seriously, "Yu Ting, what do you think about this?"
Mu Yuting listened quietly, frowning, thinking while listening, and answered very straightforwardly,
"I don't think the problem lies with Uncle Ding. If he had told a second person, he wouldn't have held a grudge against your father for so many years. This means he only told your father, so he probably didn't lie."
Mu Yuting always has a sharp perspective on issues. Ye Chen nodded as he listened, agreeing with Mu Yuting's analysis.
But since the problem is not with Uncle Ding, then it must be with his parents, Ye Chen said,
"Yu Ting, don't worry. I'm here to ask for your opinion because I want to clarify this matter. Just tell me what you think."
Ye Chen seemed to speak in a relaxed manner, but one could still hear the nervousness in his voice.
If this reserve price was really leaked by his parents, he didn't know how to face Uncle Ding.
Mu Yuting quickly said, "Ye Chen, don't be nervous. I believe Uncle Ye and Aunt Ye will not reveal the reserve price."
When Mu Yuting's parents were alive, they had a very close relationship with Ye Chen's parents. When Mu Yuting's parents passed away, his grandparents were in grief. Mu Yuting also lived in Ye Chen's house for a while, so he naturally understood the character of Ye Chen's parents.
Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief and wondered, "But, that Guo guy definitely knew the bottom price. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so accurate in only paying one dollar more than Uncle Ding. How did he know that?"
Mu Yuting continued to analyze,
"You just said that when Uncle Ding told your father the reserve price, he was very cautious, almost whispering. The possibility of their conversation being overheard was very small.
But Uncle Ye only told Auntie about this after returning home. When people are home, they are more relaxed and don't speak as cautiously as they would outside. Is it possible that someone with ulterior motives took advantage of this opportunity?
Ye Chen's brows relaxed, and he suddenly realized, "You mean, there was something wrong with our servants at that time."
Mu Yuting said objectively, "This is just our guess. We need evidence to confirm any suspicion we have about someone, but this can serve as a direction for investigation."
Mu Yuting spoke very tactfully, but everything he said was almost entirely true.
Ye Chen finally had a direction and praised excitedly, "I admire you, Yu Ting. Your mind is still as sharp as ever. Why didn't I think of that?"
Mu Yuting teased, "It's not that you can't think of it, but you are confused by the situation. You are only thinking about your sweetheart. Your heart is in turmoil. Isn't your heart beating fast now? Are you worried that you can't deal with Uncle Ding and marry his daughter?"
Ye Chen was unconvinced and snorted with laughter, "Tsk, you underestimate me too much. Why would I mess around? I'm as solid as a rock now. My family's Ke Xin is crying and begging to marry me, and she's getting angry with me if I don't marry her. The resistance from my future father-in-law is just a drop in the bucket."
Still thinking of bragging?
Mu Yuting's eyes flashed with cunning, and he said deliberately,
"Oh, oh, oh, how come I accidentally recorded this conversation? I have to send it to Xiao Nuan and ask her to play it for your Ding Kexin."
Ye Chen scolded, "Mu Yuting, I finally got a wife, and you're still messing with it. Can't you just be a human being? Do you think my life isn't messy enough?"
The two of them have to play around whenever they have nothing to do. They have been used to playing around since they were young, and they always feel like something is missing if they don't.
…
The next evening, Ye Chen brought a woman to Ke Xin's villa.
