Chapter 64: I Will Go to the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce Too

Faced with such a situation, Su Ruolan was filled with both anger and indignation. The couple’s words and actions showed no regard for Ye Tianlin at all, completely disregarding his dignity. While it was true that Chen Zhigang had been of great help, as a wife, she wished above all that Ye Tianlin would truly have a place of respect in this home! She didn’t want any outsider to be casually compared to him, because from the very beginning, these were simply two different matters!

“Enough already! Do you really want to wait until I lose my temper before you settle down?” Su Ruolan could no longer endure and shouted angrily.

Su Weimin and Gao Yulan were finally silenced and closed their mouths. Then, Su Ruolan pulled Ye Tianlin into the bedroom, closed and locked the door behind them.

“Tianlin, my parents spoke out of turn. I apologize to you on their behalf,” Su Ruolan said, full of shame.

Ye Tianlin smiled and shook his head, gently patting Su Ruolan’s back to comfort her. “Honey, there’s no need for that. It’s really unnecessary. After all, at the core of it, your parents simply don’t know me well enough, so…”

“So what?” Su Ruolan was momentarily stunned.

“So I’ve decided to find time to go to Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, apply for a position, so your parents won’t keep thinking that I haven’t made any real contribution to this family,” Ye Tianlin suddenly declared.

“You… you’re going to Yunhai Chamber of Commerce too?” Su Ruolan was greatly surprised.

Ye Tianlin smiled and said, “That’s right. You said before that you didn’t want me to help you anymore, and you didn’t want others to think you only married me for something. So, I plan to join Yunhai Chamber of Commerce—let’s work hard together as husband and wife, and from now on, earn everything ourselves!”

In truth, Ye Tianlin had already arranged everything—this was all part of his plan. Nothing could be more rewarding than striving together as a couple! Moreover, once he entered Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, the source of merit would naturally become self-evident.

“Tianlin, I…” Su Ruolan’s heart trembled, overwhelmed by emotion.

“Consider it a little surprise. Don’t worry, things will only get better. I hope when our child is born, we’ll have a happy little home.” Ye Tianlin gently embraced Su Ruolan, surrounding her with love and care.

Su Ruolan’s eyes grew red, but she quickly recovered, worry clouding her expression. “But the old matriarch may not agree. Who knows what means she’ll use to keep you out of Yunhai Chamber of Commerce?”

“It’s useless. Yunhai Chamber of Commerce belongs to the Shangjing Consortium, it’s not under the old matriarch’s control. No matter how far her reach extends, it won’t touch this place,” Ye Tianlin replied with absolute certainty.

Su Ruolan was deeply remorseful. “Tianlin, is it really worth it, making such sacrifices for me?”

“If not for you, I might have died already. Anything I do for you is worth it, more than anything else. Even if I lose my status as heir of the Ye family, I will never regret it,” Ye Tianlin said, gently touching Su Ruolan’s head.

That night.

To celebrate the successful interview, Su Ruolan personally cooked a table full of delicious dishes! The whole family sat around the dining table, the scene lively and festive.

However, upon hearing that Ye Tianlin also planned to interview at Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, Su Weimin immediately put down his chopsticks and eyed him in astonishment, questioning, “Are you out of your mind?”

“You want to work at Yunhai Chamber of Commerce? Isn’t that just wishful thinking? What qualifications do you have to show? Are you planning to ask Chen Zhigang for help? I won’t let him embarrass us!” Gao Yulan said, clearly unwilling.

“What are you talking about? Haven’t you argued enough today? Can’t we just eat in peace? Tianlin wants to work hard with me—you should support him. Besides, he’s going to interview on his own this time, not relying on Chen Zhigang’s connections!” Su Ruolan was so angry she nearly lost her appetite.

“I’ve been at home for so many years, never earned a penny for the family, but now that I have this idea, it’s not too late. At least I have some drive now,” Ye Tianlin said.

“Relying only on your own ability, getting into Yunhai Chamber of Commerce? I doubt it!” Su Weimin pursed his lips, still skeptical.

Gao Yulan, still eating, said, “Don’t dampen Ye Tianlin’s enthusiasm. Success or failure, at least it's better than lazing around at home every day. It’s time he went out to find a job. If it doesn’t work out, he can always find work as a security guard somewhere else.”

“A security guard? Mom, aren’t you underestimating me a bit too much?” Ye Tianlin forced a bitter smile.

Su Weimin snorted, “That’s already giving you more credit than you deserve. Don’t think too highly of yourself. You’re just ordinary. Yunhai Chamber of Commerce isn’t a place just anyone can get into.”

“In that case, just wait and see. I’ll surprise you all,” Ye Tianlin declared.

“Well, I want to see for myself what kind of result you can come up with!” Su Weimin rolled his eyes, thinking Ye Tianlin was most likely provoked by Chen Zhigang, feeling unbalanced, and now just trying to save face, boasting without substance!
