Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 528 Xiaomei Gets into Trouble (Seeking Subscriptions)



The next day, Ye Chen received a call from Xiaomei early in the morning.

"Mr. Ye, you haven't taken Xiaomei out to play for a long time."

Ye Chen laughed, "Well, Mr. Ye has been a bit busy lately."

"Xiaomei misses Mr. Ye."

At this moment, Meng Wanting's voice came through the call.

"Mr. Ye, sorry, this little girl Xiaomei took my phone. She said she wanted to play games, but I didn't expect she would bother you."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, it's true that I haven't taken Xiaomei out for a while."

Xiaomei chimed in, "Mr. Ye, I want to go to Antique Street."

"Go to Antique Street?" Ye Chen was stunned for a moment.

Normally, don't kids choose places like zoos to play?

Ye Chen asked, "Why do you want to go to Antique Street?"

Xiaomei laughed, "I watched a TV show about antiques. I heard you can spend a few dollars there and buy something worth millions."

Ye Chen was speechless, "That's just TV. It's all fake."

"But I really want to go."

Ye Chen said helplessly, "Alright, alright, if you want to go, Mr. Ye will take you there."

Meng Wanting said on the side, "Mr. Ye, I'm really sorry to trouble you again."

Ye Chen smiled, "It's no trouble, I'm free today anyway."

Driving his car, Ye Chen arrived at Xiaomei's house.

Seeing Ye Chen, Xiaomei immediately jumped into his arms.

"Mr. Ye, you're so kind. I talked to mom for ages, but she wouldn't take me."

Ye Chen dotingly patted Xiaomei's little head, "That's because your mom is quite busy."

Meng Wanting said awkwardly, "See, Mr. Ye, I'm really embarrassed to bother you again."

Ye Chen shook his head, "No, it's fine. I have nothing else to do."

Arriving at Antique Street, Xiaomei held a magnifying glass and started treasure hunting everywhere.

Looking at Xiaomei's adorable demeanor, Ye Chen was quite speechless.

Actually, most items here are fakes, genuine pieces are rare.

Ye Chen chatted with Meng Wanting.

Xiaomei was standing still, when a woman playing on her phone, not looking ahead, bumped into her.

As a result, the large-bodied woman collided with Xiaomei, knocking her over.

The vase in the woman's hand fell to the ground with a crash, shattering completely.

Seeing the vase shattered on the ground, the woman grabbed Xiaomei directly.

"You little brat, you're paying for my vase."

Meng Wanting hurried over, "You're being unreasonable. It's clear you bumped into her, why should our child pay?"

"She clearly bumped into me, alright? You're not leaving today without compensation."

Xiaomei argued, "I was waiting for dad and mom without moving. You bumped into me."

"You little brat, still dare to argue."

Nobody expected that the fat woman actually swung her hand to slap Xiaomei.

Meng Wanting didn't expect the woman to resort to violence, and it was too late to stop her.

Xiaomei was so scared she closed her eyes.

Just as the woman's hand was about to hit Xiaomei's little face, it was intercepted by another hand.

Ye Chen grabbed the woman's hand and pushed it forcefully.

The woman's large body staggered back seven or eight steps.

Ye Chen said coldly, "Whatever the matter is, talk it out. Hitting a child is despicable."

Hearing Ye Chen's words, the woman's face turned cold.

"Who do you think you are?"

Ye Chen replied coldly, "I am the child's parent."

"Fine, fine, your child broke my Ming dynasty vase, what will you do for compensation?"

A Ming dynasty vase, everyone around gasped.

Everyone knows a Ming dynasty vase, even if of poor quality, costs over a million.

Meng Wanting huffed coldly, "Just saying it's Ming doesn't make it Ming, do you have evidence?"

The woman sneered, "Of course, I have a certificate of authentication."

Ye Chen glanced at the shattered vase pieces on the ground, bent down to pick one up, and a faint cold smile appeared on his lips.

Ye Chen could tell at a glance that this vase was just a modern fake.

Looking at the plump woman, Ye Chen said, "If this vase is really from the Ming dynasty, we can pay accordingly, but I'm worried your antique store is full of fakes."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" The woman's face changed upon hearing this.

Ye Chen was right, most of the goods in their antique store were indeed fakes.

Xiaomei also peeked out, "Bad woman, I bet your store sells nothing but fakes. You just look like a bad person."

The plump woman sneered, "No matter what, without compensation, you aren't leaving today."

An indignant Meng Wanting said, "On what grounds? You bumped into someone while walking and playing on your phone."

"I bumped into you? Do you have evidence? Tell me, didn't this little girl bump into me?" the woman asked the clerks at the door.

Being employees of the store, they naturally sided with the woman, "We all saw it, it was this little kid who bumped our manager."

Xiaomei, her little face flushed with anger, shouted, "You're all bad people, you're lying, I didn't bump anyone."

The woman said smugly, "With so many witnesses, what else can you say? I'm not trying to extort you; just pay a million for the vase."

A million?

Hearing the figure, Meng Wanting's face changed color.

The onlookers shook their heads.

"Ah, these troublesome kids nowadays just make life difficult for parents."

"A million, how can an average family afford that?"

"And now, after breaking someone's vase, they regret it."

Xiaomei was almost in tears, "You're bullying people, I was just standing still, she bumped me."

Ye Chen patted Xiaomei's little head, "Silly girl, daddy's here, don't be scared. If money needs to be paid, daddy will pay."

An emotional Meng Wanting said.

After all, a million isn't a small amount, and how could she let Ye Chen pay?

"Ye Chen, I'll find a way, you don't have to."

Ye Chen waved her off, "Don't worry about this, I'll definitely take care of my daughter's issues."

The woman looked smug, "No matter who pays, this sum has to be paid."

Ye Chen chuckled, "We can compensate, but this ceramic price is quite ridiculous."

"What's ridiculous? Do you think our big store sells fakes?"

The woman sneered, "Can't afford it? No worries, you can mortgage your house!"

Ye Chen said, "It's okay, even though this porcelain is in pieces, it can still be verified by an expert. I happen to know a specialist in authentication, let's have it verified."

Hearing Ye Chen's words, the woman's expression changed dramatically.

This porcelain is fake. If its authenticity is confirmed, their store's reputation would be ruined.

The onlookers noticed the woman's hesitation and said, "Boss Hu, this porcelain isn't really fake, is it?"

"Didn't you say your store doesn't sell fakes?"

Hearing the crowd's remarks, the woman gritted her teeth and said, "If it's verification you want, I have nothing to fear."

The woman said, "The porcelain that just shattered was newly acquired, even I can't authenticate it well, we'll have to find another way."
