"Mm!" Chu Yanran sighed. "Xiao Chenchen came back, which made me feel unfamiliar. He also brought a group of people, wanting to seize Yanran International and plunder the company's resources..."

Chu Yanran's son is called little Chen Chen, Ye Chen and Chu Yanran bonded because of Xiao Chenchen's existence.

Xiao Chenchen is the Heavenly Destitute Star, destined to end lonely, not only would he harm those around him, but even himself.

However, because of Ye Chen's appearance, Xiao Chenchen's destiny changed!

Ye Chen suppressed Xiao Chenchen's Lone Star Evil Qi, allowing him to grow happily without harming those around him.

Moreover, just five years ago, a Supreme Master appeared in the world and took a liking to Xiao Chenchen's talent, so he took him away.

The Supreme Master came from an ancient family, his cultivation was pinnacle, and Xiao Chenchen could wash away his past and gain a new life beside him.

However, just a few months ago, Xiao Chenchen returned from the ancient family to Chu Yanran's side.

Xiao Chenchen, having been far from the mundane world for many years, has now returned with a complete transformation!

Xiao Chenchen doesn't know what he experienced or how he gained such providence; whether it's his temperament, thinking, or physical capacity, all have undergone astonishing metamorphosis, like a teenage deity!

Chu Yanran was naturally very happy to see her son like this!

But after interacting, Chu Yanran was dumbfounded.

Xiao Chenchen seemed like a different person, and he brought a group of people back, wanting to take over her Yanran International!

This came as a complete surprise, catching Chu Yanran off guard and giving rise to a feeling of bewilderment in her heart.

Right now, Xiao Chenchen is in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, with his grandmother, trying to persuade her to agree to him taking over Yanran International.

However, the old lady is not naive; Xiao Chenchen is just a ten-year-old child, how could he possibly control Yanran International?

So, neither Chu Yanran nor the old lady made any promises to Xiao Chenchen.

However, the more they refused, the more frustrated Xiao Chenchen became, even getting angry at them.

Moreover, the group that Xiao Chenchen brought were all super experts, all at the highest battle fairy level, making Chu Yanran very apprehensive.

Chu Yanran was very wise; Xiao Chenchen's demeanor naturally aroused her suspicion, fearing her son may have been manipulated.

But after observing, Chu Yanran found that Xiao Chenchen's actions were autonomous, not coerced by anyone.

Xiao Chenchen wholeheartedly wanted to control Yanran International, wanting to sideline his own mother, which made Chu Yanran feel a kind of indescribable sorrow.

What exactly happened over the years for Xiao Chenchen to become like this?

"Is Xiao Chenchen ten years old today?" Ye Chen, upon understanding the situation, asked.

"He just turned ten this year!" Chu Yanran replied.

"Uh, a ten-year-old child, why would he care about wealth? Could he have been controlled by someone?" This was Ye Chen's first thought because Xiao Chenchen was so young, he simply couldn't have the ambition to vie for fame or fortune. Xiao Chenchen's desire to control Yanran International and distribute wealth might very well be due to manipulation.

"I think the same as you!" Chu Yanran replied. "But after my observation, I found his actions were driven by his own consciousness, not coerced by anyone!"

"That's really strange!" Ye Chen frowned.

"Sigh!" Chu Yanran sighed.

This famous business empress, the world's prominent lady tycoon, felt powerless when faced with her son!

"Yanran International was founded by you, but its foundation is your husband's family. If Xiao Chenchen wants the company, just throw him some shares. Why worry so much?" Ye Chen advised seeing this.

"Before Yanran International took shape, my husband's assets were at most a few billion!" Chu Yanran replied. "But after years of effort, Yanran International's assets have long reached trillions, even my personal assets must be calculated in hundreds of billions!"

"I can't bear to just hand over Yanran International!" Chu Yanran said.

Yanran International is Chu Yanran's foundation and a world-class business empire, controlling incredibly vast resources and involving too many stakes.

Moreover, Yanran International is Chu Yanran's second life; how could she willingly give up her second life, even to her son?

"You're so wealthy!"

Chu Yanran saying that she has assets totaling hundreds of billions left Ye Chen stunned.

What does hundreds of billions in assets mean? Ye Chen was unable to calculate. But the impact of this wealth is immense and is definitely a world-class behemoth!

"I am Chu Yanran, I am the business empress, I am the Huaxia Phoenix lady, I am just this wealthy!" Seeing Ye Chen's astonished look, Chu Yanran felt a bit proud.

There are many wealthy women in the world, but a woman as affluent as her could only be her!

"Didn't expect my wife to be so incredible, had I known you were this rich, I would've settled at home living off you!" Ye Chen said with a cheeky smile.

"It's not too late for you to want to live off me now!" Chu Yanran replied. "As long as you're willing, I'll give you a hundred million a month, covering you!"

"You are a tycoon!" Ye Chen gave her a thumbs-up and asked. "Am I really that good? Worth a hundred million a month?"

"You're the most important to me, even a hundred million to cover you seems less!" Chu Yanran said seriously.

"Although it sounds a bit unreliable, I'm still very happy!" Ye Chen burst into silly laughter.

"Ye Chen, everything I said is true. If possible, I'm willing to give you everything!" Chu Yanran said with deep affection, embracing Ye Chen. "In the past, I was also concerned about Xiao Chenchen, worried that after being with you, Xiao Chenchen would resent me..."

"However, after Xiao Chenchen returned from the ancient family, it was as if he became a different person. No matter how much I opened my heart, he didn't want to be close to me…"

"Xiao Chenchen doesn't want me anymore, I only have you!" Chu Yanran confided.

"Love you!" Chu Yanran's genuine emotions deeply touched Ye Chen, stirring an indescribable feeling within him, making him love Chu Yanran even more.

"Ye Chen, actually, you own shares in Yanran International!" Chu Yanran said.

"I know!" Ye Chen nodded and said.

Ye Chen seized a large number of rare treasures and handed them all to Chu Yanran, asking her to help integrate the resources.

Ye Chen's resources were invested in Yanran International, real estate, dining, entertainment, all under Chu Yanran's management.

"Do you know how much money you have?" Chu Yanran asked.

"Uh... I really don't know!" Ye Chen said with an awkward smile.

Ye Chen's assets were too vast; Yanran International had his shares, Ye Film Industry was his, Wanshi Medicine was his... so much so that Ye Chen himself didn't know how much he was worth.

"Actually, you're much richer than I am." Chu Yanran said, looking at Ye Chen with a sigh.

"Do I have assets worth billions too?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.

"Your assets are way beyond billions!" Chu Yanran said. "What you left with me is almost worth billions! Wanshi Medicine, Ye Film Industry, they're all your businesses; I don't know exactly how much you have now, but you're definitely richer than I am!"

Ye Chen had no real concept of money, but Chu Yanran, Su Binglan, and Zhang Xinlan were all career women, adept at making money, money generating more money.

Ye Chen gave them enough capital and time, with Yun Zheyue providing backing... In five years, they didn't even know how much they had earned.

"So, without realizing it, I've become so wealthy!"

Hearing Chu Yanran's narrative, Ye Chen felt a bit airy! It turned out, he was already the richest man on Earth!

"Being the richest man on Earth might be an exaggeration, but your assets definitely rank in the top ten worldwide!" Chu Yanran said.

"Only top ten?" Ye Chen blinked, seemingly dissatisfied with the rank.

"Top ten is already very powerful, alright?" Chu Yanran said helplessly. "All the top ten richest are from families with generational wealth, having gone through hundreds, even thousands of years to qualify for the top ten!"

"Hmm, top ten is indeed strong!" Ye Chen nodded and suddenly said, "But since we're above the mundane, what use is money?"

"Uh!" Chu Yanran was stunned.

If someone were to ask Chu Yanran, what use is money?

Chu Yanran would definitely slap them ten times and kick them twenty times to death for asking such a stupid question.

But Ye Chen suddenly asked her, what use is money, leaving Chu Yanran stumped.

Ye Chen's power dominated the world, even capable of expelling Great Saints, absolutely a miraculous existence. What use does such a figure have for money?

With Ye Chen's level of cultivation, worldly riches, and beauties were at his fingertips... What use does Ye Chen have for money?

Chu Yanran was conflicted for a long time, unable to provide an answer, because for him, money really seemed useless!

"Then should I organize your assets and donate them all to global charities?" Chu Yanran tentatively asked.

"If we donate the money, we'd be left with nothing but air to live on!" Ye Chen exclaimed.

"But really, we have no use for money!" Chu Yanran said, feeling aggrieved.

"Money may be useless outside Earth, but it's useful on Earth!" Ye Chen said. "The Earth is about to become the cosmic center. Creatures from all worlds will come to Earth. As long as we hold the initiative, money can play a significant role!"

"By then, one hundred bucks to hire a Land God as a bodyguard, ten thousand to get a female sovereign as a mistress, and a billion to make a Saint serve us!" Ye Chen happily imagined.

"You're dreaming!" Chu Yanran said speechlessly. "If it really comes to that, Earth would fall into chaos, and all order would collapse, our money would just become a pile of waste paper!"

The strong are proud, who would willingly be controlled?

If Earth becomes the cosmic center, it would certainly gather countless strong beings, order would be reestablished, and everything on Earth would cease to exist!

"Ha!" Ye Chen suddenly smiled. "Earth is our home turf, anyone wanting to take refuge here must have our permission!"

"Where does your confidence come from?" Chu Yanran asked blankly.

It wasn't that Chu Yanran didn't believe in Ye Chen, but his words were so confident that she asked subconsciously.
