Chapter 277 – Have you ever seen someone giving a stranger 40 million yuan for no reason whatsoever? (2)

The words that Ye Zhenting said had nothing to do with her. Moreover, as a bystander, Ye Zhen was extremely disgusted with Ye Zhenting’s hypocritical words!

When they needed help, they would go look for Ye Zhen. When life was going well for them, they ignored Ye Zhen and spent their time showing off Ye Qing. In the eyes of the Ye parents, they only had one precious daughter, Ye Qing. He was only saying these words to fool and coax her into giving him money to save his life.

“Mr. Ye.” Ye Zhen didn’t address him as Dad. “Some outcomes really aren’t unexpected. Those outcomes are just consequences. You think I’m heartless now, but isn’t that because the Ye’s were also ruthless towards Ye Zhen?”

She paused and then continued to say, “I don’t know about that matter of Ye Zhen falling sick when she was 10 years old, but I do know that if you had really done your duty as a father, you wouldn’t have fallen to such a state today.”

Ye Zhenting’s expression stiffened. “Zhenzhen, what do you mean by that? I’m your dad. How can you say such words to your dad?”

Ye Zhen sneered. “Would a father kidnap his daughter? If you really see me as your daughter, why would you kidnap me?”

“How is this kidnapping? Dad just wants to talk with you. Have a heart-to-heart chat. How could this be considered kidnapping?” After he had spoken to that point, Ye Zhenting’s tone softened. “Zhenzhen ah, just help Dad out. Help Dad out by paying back that 40 million yuan, okay? I swear that if you help me out this time, I’ll never trouble you again. Does that work?”

He sighed again. “If it wasn’t because your older sister really can’t take out this 40 million yuan, she won’t have asked me to come look for you?”

“Talk? Have a heart-to-heart chat?” Ye Zhen scoffed, “Why don’t you go have a heart-to-heart talk with Ye Qing? Sell the mansion, sell your shares of the company stock, and then go look for Ye Qing to make up the remainder amount. It’s not like you can’t come up with the 40 million yuan yourself.”

“How could that work?” Ye Zhenting whispered, “When all is said and done, the mansion and stocks are only worth 20 million yuan. How could Ye Qing possibly be able to take out the remaining 20 million yuan?”

Ye Zhen asked, “Why can’t she take out 20 million yuan?”

Ye Zhenting paused. His expression showed that this possibility was completely outside his expectations. “What… What are you saying? Ye Qing? She can get 20 million yuan?”

Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and meaningfully smiled. “Of course, did you not know that?”

“But… Didn’t she say that she has no money? She’s been in the entertainment industry for so long, but she’s only done a few endorsements and shows. Where would she get the 20 million yuan?”

“So you’ll believe in whatever she tells you?” Ye Zhen sighed. “Well, you’re not in the industry, so it’s normal that you don’t know the market prices. Although Ye Qing hasn’t become a superstar in the past two years, the money she got from doing endorsements and a few TV shows should be more than enough for her to have earned 20 million yuan.”

Ye Zhen only said half of the situation. Ye Qing really had made this much money in the past two years, but Ye Zhen omitted mentioning Ye Qing’s agency’s cut of that income, the staff salaries, and her daily expenses.

After paying out these several expenses, Ye Qing probably didn’t have much left over.

Ye Zhenting furrowed his brow. He was showing an obviously resentful expression. He cursed in a low voice.

Ye Zhen looked at him. She knew that he was very anxious. His life was in danger, and he couldn’t calm down to think clearly. His mind was sure to be a mess. Whatever she said, he would believe it. Moreover, she guessed that he would be willing to do anything in order to save his life.

After thinking it over, Ye Zhen jokingly looked at him with a smile. “You agreed before that the 30 million yuan bought out the parent-child relationship between us. With that as our starting point, have you ever seen someone giving a stranger 40 million yuan for no reason whatsoever?”
