Chapter 150 – Know right and wrong (3)
Father Ye was left speechless by his wife’s words. He sat on the couch, breathing heavily and sulking.
His phone rang, and he answered the call. After silently listening for a while, he finally hung up the phone. Dejected, he slumped forward with his head resting in his hands.
Mother Ye was confused by Father Ye’s look. “What’s wrong?”
“The capital was inadequate and that project is over. The money I already invested is gone. It won’t be long before the bank sends people over to sell our villa.”
Mother Ye immediately became alarmed when she heard these words. She sharply asked, “Didn’t you say this project was guaranteed to make a profit? If that was true, why was no one willing to invest in that project with you? I told you in advance to not mortgage our home. If our home gets sold, where will we stay? Will we have to sleep on the streets?”
Father Ye was at this wit’s end. “I didn’t think that Lu Beichuan would be so heartless. This project has dragged on for half a year, but he never changed his mind on investing in it. We’re done for. Not only is the company done for, we’re going to lose our cars and home too.”
The Ye’s had always only been putting up the facade of a grandeur, but at the very least, they had a villa and an empty shell of company to support their farce. When they went out, they had luxury cars to prop themselves up. That was enough for Mother Ye to keep up appearance. People that didn’t know better tried their best to get close to this wealthy madam.
Now that they were going to lose the company, the cars, and their villa and become destitute overnight, how would she be able to show her face in public in the future in this coastal city?
It was only now that Mother Ye became truly afraid.
“No, this won’t do! Call Lu Beichuan! Or call Ye Zhen! Tell her everything. Ye Zhen is a soft-hearted child. If you talk it out with her, she might agree to help us. Ye Zhenting, hurry up!”
“What’s the use?! Did you not see how Ye Zhen acted in the hospital today? Her heart was soft, but that was in the past. You, her mother, have already thoroughly broken her heart. How could her heart still be soft?”
“Could she really not care about her parents well-being? At the very least, I risked my life to give birth to her! Hurry up, call her!”
Father Ye looked at his wife and didn’t say anything for a long time.
This woman had always cared about her image and how other people saw her. As long as she could live out a lavish life, she could ignore everything else.
If Ye Zhen saw the stance that her mother was taking, how could she agree? Her heart would probably cool faster towards them.
Just as the two of them were at a loss, Father Ye got another call.
He blankly listened to the news that things had suddenly and unexpectedly taken a turn for the better. This turnaround was completely beyond his expectation.
“Okay... Okay... I understand. Yes, okay... Do you know who it was... Okay... Let’s go with that... En....”
He put down his phone and blankly looked at his wife. “Someone invested 10 million into my project.”
“10 million? Invested into your project?”
Father Ye nodded.
The timing of this turnaround was too much. A second ago they had been worrying about the bankruptcy, and now they had gotten 10 million in investment funds. Under the simultaneous feelings of fury and happiness, Father Ye wasn’t able to respond for a while.
“Who invested in your project? Lu Beichuan?”
“Not him.” Father Ye shook his head. “The company manager said that investment didn’t come from Lu Corporation.”
“Who is it then?”
“I’m not sure either. That person said we’ll meet tomorrow in the office.” After saying this, Father Ye’s eyes brightened. Thrilled, he exclaimed, “Wife, I’m not going bankrupt!”
Mother Ye also recovered from this huge change in circumstances. “Yes, not only are you not going bankrupt, you have to succeed and show off your achievements to Lu Beichuan!”
“Yes, when the time comes, I’ll get Lu Beichuan to take a good hard look at the amazingly profitable opportunity he passed on!” Father Ye smugly made a solemn vow. He’ll show that Lu Beichuan!
