After purchasing the watch, Chen Furong took his leave, and Jiang Chen handed the watch to Yè Yùwǎn with a light chuckle, "Here."

"Thank you." Yè Yùwǎn happily expressed her thanks and immediately put the watch on.

When the two returned to the hotel, Jiang Chen looked at Yè Yùwǎn with a solemn expression, "Yu Wan, next, I have an investment plan I want to entrust to you. Are you willing?"

"Of course, I am willing." Yè Yùwǎn nodded joyfully, her face full of anticipation as she looked at Jiang Chen.

"Good, then next you go…"

Jiang Chen explained a portion of the investment plans related to Jincheng to Yè Yùwǎn, thinking of letting her practice first.

Yè Yùwǎn diligently took note of everything Jiang Chen said. This was the first assignment Jiang Chen had given her, and she was determined to do it well!

The two parted ways, Yè Yùwǎn stayed behind to prepare for the investment, while Jiang Chen left the hotel with the Heart of the Ocean.

Taking a taxi to Panjiayuan, Jiang Chen browsed around and frowned slightly, "How could it not be here? There should be those items here, right?"

From the look of his last round, Jiang Chen hadn't found anything with the Blood Fiend Aura.

"Forget it, I'll head back to Dingjing for now. I'll take a proper look next time I come." Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, glanced at the brocade box in his hand, and hurried to the station by taxi to return to Dingjing.

...

The Gong Family in Dingjing.

Having spent a few days with Shen Xiaoqin in the countryside, Gong Lin also returned to Dingjing.

"Gong Lin!"

As soon as she entered the door, Old Lady Luo, accompanied by a group of younger Gong Family members, cornered Gong Lin in the living room. Gong Lin looked at everyone, puzzled.

"Gong Lin, is Yi Chen Investment the company given to Jiang Chen by the Jiang Family?" Old Lady Luo asked loudly.

Gong Lin slightly furrowed her brow and nodded lightly, "Yes, it was given to him privately by Jiang Chen's grandfather, all of it is his grandfather's own funds."

"That's not important. I'm asking you, aren't you the chairman of that company?" Old Lady Luo shook her head and asked again.

Gong Lin's heart stirred as she understood Old Lady Luo's intentions and said calmly, "Yes, I'm the chairman of Yichen Company, but Jiang Chen asked me to be the chairman. It's not as if everything is up to me!"

Old Lady Luo's eyes lit up, completely ignoring the implications of Gong Lin's last words, and she asked sternly, "Since you are the chairman, why won't you arrange for some of our family members to enter the company? Why not give the funds to our Gong Family?"

Gong Zijun pointed at Gong Lin and shouted angrily, "Gong Lin, are you turning against us? Are you so sided with that Jiang Chen that you've forgotten your own family?"

"Exactly, after becoming the chairman of Yichen Company, do you think you no longer need your family?"

"Gong Lin, quickly hand over the funds to the family."

"Right, forget about Jiang Chen, giving the funds to the family is what matters!"

"If you can't manage, get us in there, and we will take care of it."

Many younger members of the Gong Family were making a clamor.

"That's impossible! Jiang Chen trusts me, which is why he appointed me as the chairman. I will not do such a thing to harm Jiang Chen for my own benefit!" Gong Lin firmly shook her head.

Old Lady Luo's face darkened completely upon hearing this, and she glared fiercely at Gong Lin, saying sharply, "Foolishness! You're only thinking of Jiang Chen, and not about the family? Investing is the same no matter who you invest in, so why wouldn't you invest in the Gong Family?"

"What? Are you planning to betray the family?"

"If you don't consider the family, what do you mean?"

"Exactly, I think you've lost your mind, what kind of bewitching potion did that Jiang Chen give you? Why are you so devoted to him? Are you still a member of our Gong Family?" Gong Zijun, leading a group of juniors, began to besiege Gong Lin.

Gong Lin swept everyone with an expressionless gaze and said indifferently, "There's no need to talk anymore. I won't casually hand over the funds. I will discuss every investment with Jiang Chen. Without his approval, I won't touch any funds!"

Gong Family's younger generation's faces all changed.

"Sis, have you been so blinded by love?"

"Seriously, that's a hundred billion in funding!"

"Are you stupid? Is Jiang Chen really that good? Money is the real deal!"

Gong Yue and the other girls looked at Gong Lin as if she were a fool.

Old Lady Luo snorted coldly, pointed at Gong Lin, and scolded, "I think you've been so bewitched by Jiang Chen you've forgotten your own name! Tell me, what has he given you since you got married? Nothing, right? He's just using you. And here you are, foolishly considering his feelings. Isn't that stupid?"

"That's right, sister, don't be foolish. Hurry up and take out the funds—that's the important thing! After you get the money, dump that worthless Jiang Chen!" Gong Yue once again tried to persuade Gong Lin.

At that moment, a news broadcast came from the living room TV.

"Today in the morning, a mysterious tycoon at Jincheng spent 110 million to win the Heart of the Ocean. Who knows which lucky lady will end up with this sky-high priced Heart of the Ocean necklace?"

Upon hearing the news, everyone from the Gong Family was stunned.

"This, this... a Heart of the Ocean worth 110 million!"

Gong Yue's eyes sparkled as she watched the TV.

"How I envy the girl who gets the Heart of the Ocean!"

"If someone gave me this Heart of the Ocean, I'd even be willing to be a mistress."

The Gong Family girls, all with eyes glittering with greed, watched the TV, their faces full of envy.

Old Lady Luo, after seeing the news on the TV, was also shocked for a moment, but then her eyes spun, and she pointed at the TV, seizing the opportunity to persuade Gong Lin again, "See? The kind of man who's willing to spend money on a woman is a real man! That damned Jiang Chen is just an ingrate. Divorce him or else milk Yi Chen's funds dry and bring them all to our family."

"That's right, sister, don't be foolish. Look at others, then look at Jiang Chen. Despite having so much money, he's not willing to buy you anything!"

"Yeah, Gong Lin, you're so good to him. But look how he treats you!"

The younger generation of the Gong Family once again urged her.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and Jiang Chen entered the Gong Family's hall.

"What are you doing here?" Old Lady Luo glared at Jiang Chen and asked coldly.

"Hmph! What's this? Now that you have a company, you want to come to our Gong Family to freeload?" Gong Zijun said mockingly.

Jiang Chen swept a glance over the Gong Family and spoke lightly, "I came to bring Gong Lin a gift."

Saying this, he walked straight to Gong Lin with a brocade box, stretched out his hand towards her, and smiled, "This is a gift I've brought for you from Jincheng, I hope you like it!"

Gong Lin didn't care what Jiang Chen would bring; whatever Jiang Chen brought, she would like it. So she smiled lightly and opened the brocade box.

"Ha, you still want to give my sister a gift? Don't tell me it's something cheap..." Gong Yue said, curling her lip mockingly.

The other juniors also looked on with disdain.

But before Gong Yue could finish speaking, her expression froze!

And at the moment Gong Lin opened the brocade box, everyone else was struck dumb!

Every single one of them stared in shock!
