Chapter 274 – He had found out that Ye Zhenting had made a fool of him (1)
When Mother Lu heard about this, she slammed her chopsticks onto the table. Her expression was very ugly.
“I already gave him 30 million yuan. He and his wife had agreed to it. What does he mean by going back on his words and pestering Zhenzhen now?”
“I had Ye Zhenting investigated. He took that 30 million yuan and went gambling. He lost that money and owes loan sharks 40 million yuan.”
“Gambling? Loan sharks?” Mother Lu was incredulous. She had given him 30 million yuan. Why had he wasted it? It would have been enough to last him for the rest of his life if he wasn’t too wasteful. If he wanted to make a comeback, he could have invested that money. “He actually gambled away that 30 million yuan?”
Lu Beichuan nodded.
It was impossible for ordinary people to earn 40 million yuan in their lifetimes, but that amount was nothing to the Lu’s. Lu Beichuan would leave it up to Ye Zhen on whether or not to pay off Ye Zhenting’s gambling debt.
“What do you think?” He looked at Ye Zhen.
Ye Zhen was silent for a while.
Mother Lu was unable to remain calm. She had met Ye Zhenting and knew that he was a troublesome guy. If he pestered Ye Zhen, it would definitely be difficult for her to resolve the problem on her own. And so, she solemnly said to her, “Zhenzhen, you’re busy with work, so don’t bother getting involved with this issue. Leave it to Beichuan. With him here, it won’t be an issue to resolve it.”
Ye Zhen smiled and gave Lu Beichuan a meaningful look.
Whether it was now or in the novel, Ye Zhenting was a scoundrel. He had lofty ambitions, but didn’t have the ability to accomplish those ambitions. He bit off more than he can handle. Although this type of person was limited in the harm he could do to others, he was still very annoying.
She had to discuss this matter over with Lu Beichuan. She had to think of a way to resolve the issue of the Ye’s once and for all.
After being around each other for so long, Lu Beichuan understood the meaning of Ye Zhen’s look. “Don’t worry. I can solve this issue.”
Getting Lu Beichuan’s guarantee, Mother Lu finally relaxed.
Just like that, the Lu’s didn’t respond to Ye Zhenting for the next two days. Ye Zhenting, who had been loitering outside of their gated community, couldn’t wait any longer for a response. The loan sharks had come looking for him and placed a knife on his neck. Seeing his blood, he begged them for mercy and asked for an extension.
The loan sharks were unmoved by his begging. They had seen too many gamblers and had given too many extensions.
“Give me two more days, just two more days and I’ll return the 40 million yuan!”
“It’s 45 million yuan now!”
“I swear. Give me two more days and I can repay that money!” Worried that these people wouldn’t believe him, Ye Zhenting hastily said, “You guys should know that my daughter married Lu Beichuan. Do you guys know Lu Beichuan? He’s the boss of Lu Corporation!”
Those people looked at each other. One of the left, walked to a corner, and made a call. After getting an answer on what to do, he nodded.
“Since Lu Beichuan is your son-in-law, why is he so slow about giving you 40 million yuan to begin with?”
Ye Zhenting took a deep breath for air. “It’s like this. You guys know that 40 million yuan isn’t a small sum. You have to give them some time to come up with that amount, right?”
However, Ye Zhenting knew in his heart that the Lu’s won’t give him another cent. His current method wasn’t working out.
Desperate, he suddenly thought of a risky plan. After briefly thinking it over, Ye Zhenting quietly said, “How about this? Give me two more days. I won’t run away. You can send someone to follow me too. As soon as my daughter contacts me, I’ll immediately take you guys to get that money. Does that work?”
The loan sharks just wanted money and were moved by Ye Zhenting’s offer. After saying a few more threats, they left one person to monitor Ye Zhenting.
