Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 326: Ye Family Going Down

“Old Ye,” Su Ancheng sighed. “I know what has happened with the Ye family but regarding this, the Su family cannot help much. Even though we are a family of business, we do not have much cash available. We owe quite a lot to the bank now and we can’t fork out much to help you.”

Old fox.

Ye Jianguo cut the line with much force and he felt a little dazed at the back of his brain. His eyes went black as he held onto a chair at the side for support to prevent himself from falling.

He shook his head hard. No matter what happens, he needs to press on. For the Ye family, for his children and grandchildren. Even if he were to die, he would die protecting the Ye family.

He went to look for his friends and those that he had ties with in the past. He used to think that he was popular among his friends but after being stabbed so hard this time, those who could help him had already helped. But it was barely anything and it wasn’t sufficient to help him at all.

He had borrowed from those he could borrow and found those that he could find, but he was still a long way away.

Ye Jianguo seemed to have aged altogether, his hair was whiter. He looked older and his eyes were more turbid too.

Was this the end of the Ye family? Was god determined to destroy them?

The Ye family had resided in Sea City for centuries. If the Ye family was really destroyed, how would he face his partner when he passed away? How would he face his parents? As the old man who spent a good part of his life in the military thought about it, the sadder he got. The more he thought, the harder it was for him to face it.

He wiped his face; the skin at the back of his palm was like tree bark. The veins were sticking out through the layer of skin and they almost seemed to be bursting out.

He picked up the phone again and started looking for people he could look for. The rest of the Ye family were looking for people to help too, doing what they can.

“Dad, are we not going to tell Shuyun?”

Ye Jianguo’s son, Ye Chuji was discussing with his father. Afterall, it concerned the Lu family.

“Don’t tell her,” Ye Jianguo waved his hand. “Even though the Lu family have power and rights in the military, it is impossible for them to take out so much money in such a short period of time. Do not make it hard for your younger sister.”

“This child had it tough too. She had no parents from birth, and it took a long time for her life to be alright. Let’s not disturb her.”

“Okay,” Ye Chuji was a little hurt by the answer that she had gotten. Her voice was a little quivering and it was hard for her to live with it. In all honesty, it wasn’t her daughter and hence, she couldn’t say anything. If she did, it would be hard on the child.

Ye Jianguo couldn’t do something like that.

“What about the Su family?” Ye Chuji thought of the Su family. That’s right, the Su family. So long as they were agreeable, they would definitely be able to make it through this tough time. But why would the Su family agree to help the Ye family?

Even though the two families seemed cordial on the surface, they had been at odds for decades. Even though they weren’t bitter rivals, they were not living harmoniously too. They would be thankful if the Su family didn’t hit them when they are at their lowest.

“How much more are we short of?” Ye Jianguo closed his eyes. When he opened them again, there was a sort of demoralized spirit within his sharp eyes.

“Around $3.2 billion.”

Ye Chuji gave a cold laugh, “Dad, we cannot get that kind of money at all.”

“I know, don’t worry, I will think of something,” Ye Jianguo tapped his son’s shoulder. He had sold whatever he could in their house, even the tea set that he loved the most. That was a gift of love given to him by his late wife. She had taken good care of it her entire life but even so, he had to sell it away now.

No matter how heartbroken he was now, he would be more heartbroken if the Ye family were to go down.

Ye Jianguo only stood back up after Ye Chuji left. He walked to the window and stared out like that. He had never had a good life, his partner left him early, his daughter had gone missing, now the Ye family was about to be ruined. What was he supposed to do now? How would he face his ancestors, his late wife now?

His daughter was nowhere to be found and the family business can’t be saved. He could just leave this world like this and not know what happens. But he would be leaving this mess to his children, grandchildren and every other generation of the Ye family. He wouldn’t rest in peace if that was the case.

All of a sudden, everything turned black in front of his eyes. He felt as if he was a strung-up string that had snapped. He fell down and landed on the floor with a bang.

When the nanny opened the door to get him to eat, she was shocked to find him lying on the floor.

“Old Ye...” She only reacted after a while.

“Help, anyone help, call the ambulance...”

The whole Ye house was filled with her shouts.

Ye Jianguo was old and after spending most of his time in the military, he had never bent down to anyone. This old man was made of steel and he didn’t fall even when he was shot three times in war. Now, he looked as if he was dead, lying straight on the floor. His lips were black but his face was pale.

When Ye Shuyun heard about this, she almost fainted.

She quickly rushed to the hospital and when she saw her father like this, her tears started gushing out her eyes.

This wasn’t her biological father but he was much better to her than her own father. If it wasn’t for him, if she didn’t have him as a father, she would be long dead. How could she lead such a good life, have a good husband, a good son? She was waiting for him to get married now and to carry her grandchildren.

But now, looking at the father who had doted on her lying here lifelessly, she almost couldn’t believe her eyes. She just had a meal with her father a few days back and they were talking about Lu Yi.

Why would this happen? Why?

“Dad, wake up, it is Shuyun.”

Ye Shuyun cried as she held his hand. He had lost so much weight and was just skin and bones. Her heart ached at this. This was her real father, the only father she had in this life.

“Dad...”

Ye Shuyun was breathless from all the crying. Her father had always been in the peak of good health but now he was lying there like a dead person. He couldn’t even open his eyes.

“Brother, what is happening?” Ye Shuyun tugged on Ye Chuji’s sleeve. “How have you been taking care of father; he is so old. How have you been looking after him? Speak...speak..”

Ye Shuyun shook Ye Chuji crazily. “If there is anything, leave it to us children to worry about it. Why does he need to worry?” If not, what use is there for his children, what were they there for?
