Chapter 243: Chapter 242: Another Day Being Doted on by the In-Laws! 2

Ye Junqing couldn’t suppress his laughter and shot Tang Zhou a glare. "Tangtang, how did you end up with such an unreliable mom?"

Tang Zhou muttered, "Falling in love is so tedious! Back in my day, I was simply assigned a partner. Wasn’t I living happily ever after?"

Ye Junqing didn’t bother to say it aloud.That’s because your little follower already had his sights on you! Did you think he just randomly drew your name at the Civil Affairs Bureau? He cheated to ensure he was matched with you; it had to be you and no one else!

Ye Junqing changed the subject, his gaze landing on Si Mingjing, who was standing beside them, still pondering whether Tang Zhou was male or female.

"Mingjing, how is Yinhe recovering? Is he almost cured?"

Si Mingjing shifted her focus and nodded. "Uncle, one last acupuncture treatment today, and he won’t need any more."

Ye Junqing, concerned for his son, nodded in satisfaction. "You’ve worked hard. After Yinhe has healed, would you be willing to accompany him to the Undersea World, to Atlantis?"

"Um..."

She did want to go to the Undersea World. But not to Atlantis; she wanted to go to the Mu Continent.

"You can think it over," Ye Junqing continued. "If you’re unwilling, it doesn’t matter. I also don’t like staying undersea, so I built a palace on an island above the Atlantis Imperial Capital. Once there, you can stay with me in the palace. If you’re worried about managing your family’s corporation, you can even re-register your company and set up its registered address on the island. I will give you a skyscraper there to serve as your company’s registered address."

Si Mingjing wondered,Why go through all this trouble?

Tang Zhou, legs crossed, chimed in, "The palace my brother Junqing built is simply extravagant! Reporters call me the most lavish Empress in history, but they haven’t seen the palace he constructed. He’s the truly luxurious one, the exclusively favored male Empress! To keep him happy, my sister-in-law gave up a harem of three thousand handsome men."

Ye Xinguang picked up an orange from the coffee table and threw it at Tang Zhou.

Catching the orange, Tang Zhou said, "Sister-in-law, I didn’t say anything wrong. Why throw an orange at me?"

Seeing Si Mingjing still unpersuaded, Tang Zhou grew anxious on her behalf. "Dear prospective nephew’s wife, what are you hesitating for? Do you know that my brother Junqing turned that island into the world’s fourth-largest offshore financial center in just ten years? I tell you, all the well-known global corporations are eager to register on the island! To date, more than 100,000 companies have registered there, including over 700 banks, more than 800 insurance companies, and nearly 10,000 hedge fund institutions! It’s a tax haven, and he’s even giving you a skyscraper! This is literally a pie falling from the sky!"

Si Mingjing suddenly realized.So that was it.

With an affectionate smile, Ye Junqing said, "Don’t listen to her nonsense. This is a reward for your hard work. You cured Yinhe’s illness; this is your consultation fee."

Si Mingjing still gave no response.If the Song Family issues were resolved, she wanted to go to the Mu Continent.

Ye Junqing saw her hesitation and spoke kindly, "No rush. Take your time to think about it."

Si Mingjing breathed a sigh of relief. "Mm, thank you, Uncle. I bought Xiaobai a cake; I’ll take it upstairs for him now."

Rising to her feet, Si Mingjing went upstairs.

Sitting downstairs, Ye Xinguang said, "Mingjing, the children are in the gym, the room at the far end of the left-hand hallway on the second floor."

"Alright, Auntie, I know."

After going upstairs, Si Mingjing sent Su Cheng a WeChat message: "Do you know where the world’s fourth-largest offshore financial center is?"

Su Cheng replied instantly: "How could I not know? It’s Xingguang Island."

Xingguang Island? Mo Yinhe’s mother is named Ye Xinguang. Was this island named after his mother?

Si Mingjing sent another WeChat message: "Is it a tax haven?"

Su Cheng replied, "Of course! Ten years ago, it was just a barren island where birds wouldn’t even poop. But after Ye Junqing built his palace there, he aggressively developed the financial services sector. He introduced irresistible incentives like no taxes, convenient and expedient listing services, and a highly secretive information protection system. In less than a decade, it became the fourth-largest offshore financial center in the world!"

Si Mingjing became more and more interested as she listened. "Has your company registered there?"

Su Cheng explained, "Isn’t that obvious? It’s tax-free! Who would pass that up? And listing is super easy. My family’s group initially changed its registration to Xingguang Island to get listed. It took only half a year to successfully go public. It was so sweet."

Si Mingjing sent another message: "Mo Yinhe’s father said that if I cure Mo Yinhe, he would give me a skyscraper on Xingguang Island as a consultation fee and even suggested I re-register my company there."

Su Cheng exclaimed in his next message: "Holy shit! Giving you a skyscraper? That’s way too generous! Do you know that real estate on Xingguang Island is ten times more expensive than land inside the first ring of the Imperial Capital? Sister Si, how about we discuss something? Look, the Song Group doesn’t need an entire skyscraper, so how about renting half of it to us?"

Si Mingjing narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly and casually asked, "Your family doesn’t have a skyscraper on Xingguang Island?"

Su Cheng added: "What kind of question is that! That’s Xingguang Island! Every major company in the world wants a piece of it. With every inch worth its weight in gold, do you think skyscrapers are that easy to come by? My family only bought a small storefront there for our company’s registered address!"

So a skyscraper is really valuable?Si Mingjing mused.Although Mo Yinhe was wealthy and curing his illness meant the Ye Family should rightfully give her a consultation fee, wasn’t a skyscraper a bit too luxurious? On New Year’s Eve, Uncle Ye had already given her a red envelope with ten million, and Mo Yinhe had even given her over a billion. Could she really accept a skyscraper too?

Si Mingjing typed back, "Let’s talk about it later. I haven’t decided whether to accept it or not. But if I want to change the Song Group to the Si Group and register it on Xingguang Island, what would I need to do?"

Su Cheng responded, "Isn’t that easy? First, you create a shell company on Xingguang Island. Then, you use that company to acquire shares of the Song Group through investment, making it a subsidiary. Once the subsidiary successfully controls the Song Group, you’re all set."

It sounded pretty simple.Si Mingjing became interested.She could leave the specifics to Xi Tan.

After chatting briefly with Su Cheng, Si Mingjing went to the gym at the far end of the left-hand corridor on the second floor.

Inside, Ye Nianbai, Sheng Liangliang, and Yun Xiaosu, the three little darlings, were playing. Mo Yinhe and Fengjue, both shirtless, were also in the gym, dripping with sweat from their workout.

As she pushed open the door, Si Mingjing heard the children excitedly chanting, "Daddy, you can do it! Daddy, you can do it!"

Seeing Si Mingjing walk in with a small cake, Ye Nianbai immediately ran towards her.

"Jingjing! Dad said that if he wins his competition against Uncle Feng, I can go to Grandma and Grandpa’s to study next semester. If Dad loses, I have to keep studying here. Come on, cheer for Dad!"

Ye Nianbai was frantic. Dad had said he would take Jingjing to Grandma and Grandpa’s, and then he, the little master, wouldn’t be able to see Jingjing anymore! Ye Nianbai wouldn’t stand for it and insisted on going there to study too. Now, it all depended on whether Uncle Feng or his dad won.
