Chapter 328: You Need It, But I Don’t
Mother Lei didn’t dare to let Ye Shuyun enter her own home too. She went over to her place and along the way, she found Ye Shuyun whose eyes were all puffy from crying. She quickly let her driver send them to the Ye house.
The moment Ye Shuyun saw her sister, she clung onto her and cried. She wasn’t able to say a single word.
Only after a long while did she start to explain what happened in a rough manner.
Three billion dollars, my god, three billion dollars. Where was she going to get that much money? Wait, no. It was almost four billion dollars. The Ye family had sold everything that they could sell and found anyone they had ties with but could barely raise $600 million. But $600 million is a huge sum already.
“Sis, do not worry. Let me look for Old Lei while you look for Old Lu. Perhaps there is a solution?”
Mother Lei didn’t dare to waste any more time as she quickly called Lei Qingyi’s father home. No matter where he was now, he needed to return home immediately.
Upon hearing this, Ye Shuyun snapped out of her daze too. She took out her phone to call Lu Yi’s father, Lu Jin. She cried while calling him and Lu Jin almost exploded upon hearing her.
The two of them quickly rushed home overnight.
Father Lei didn’t rest for a whole day and night as he took a plane to rush home.
Lu Jin sat on his private jet as he came home too.
“Let me take a look at him first,” Lu Jin was tired from travelling but he had some sort of killer energy on him. One could tell that he was genuinely concerned about Ye Jianguo.
Ye Shuyun didn’t mention clearly too and she only knew how to cry. She had said a lot but no one knew what she was saying. Lu Jin had a hurried nature to begin with and because he wasn’t home usually, he never had the chance to be a good son-in-law. How could he not care when something so big like this has happened in the Ye family?
“Let me think of some solution first,” Father Lei stood up too. He couldn’t do anything sitting here and he would go gather some money first. He would take out whatever the Lei family could afford to help the Ye family get over this first.
The two of them didn’t waste any time as they went about their business. One went to the hospital while the other went to find out more. Of course, the two women didn’t sit here crying. They went to find their friends too to see if they could raise any money. Any money was better than none.
Lu Jin quickly rushed to the hospital but Ye Jianguo was still unconscious. He had lost a lot of weight and he seemed to have lost all vitality and was waiting to die. It was heart-breaking to witness this.
This old man used to be all mighty and powerful, was he really not going to make it?
Only here did Lu Jin really understood what exactly happened. He could only say that the Ye family was unlucky, encountering something like an old cemetery. It was a huge cemetery and the country would do everything they could to excavate it. Even though the country had given them the best compensation, it wasn’t enough at all to gather $3 billion even though it was placed right in front of the Ye family. In actual fact no, even after throwing in the $3 billion that they had thrown in, they still owed the bank $3 billion. It was more than $6 billion and if the bank does not see this $3 billion, they will not loan them any more money.
Lu Jin contacted the bank but he couldn’t reach them. It seemed as if there was a mastermind behind all these, striking the Ye family and pushing them down in despair.
“It is the Su family.”
Ye Chuji gave a cold laugh. “The Ye family is usually laid back and we have not offended anyone, except the Su family.”
“Su family?” Lu Jin furrowed his brows. “What does this have to do with the Su family?”
“Things used to be fine,” Ye Chuji wasn’t surprised at all that this was the Su family’s doing, “Lu Yi asked dad to protect someone but he didn’t manage it very well with the Su family. They must be taking revenge for all that hatred now.”
“What has that brat Lu Yi done?”
Lu Jin raised his eyebrow; he looked as if he wanted to kill his son.
“What are you thinking of?” How could Ye Chuji not understand Lu Jin’s character.
“The Su and Ye family are bitter rivals. Even without Lu Yi, the Su family will step on us this time too. They probably will not rest till we are dead.”
“The first person dad thought of asking for help from was Su Ancheng. But I have no idea what he said to dad and dad has been like this since that day. He has even regained consciousness yet.”
At this point, Ye Chuji felt his heart wrench again as he looked at his father’s skinny figure. The strong and mighty father back then had finally fallen. He could no longer raise his bank nor bend his hips now.
He wanted to do something for his children but at the end of the day, there was nothing he could do.
He was hateful and filled with anger. How could he be so useless. He needed his father who was no longer young to put down his pride that he had gathered over the years and to go around begging from others and facing rejection. For Old ye, this was more unbearable than killing him.
But for the Ye family, for his children, he had swallowed it.
With a bang, Ye Chuji punched the wall hard. The wall didn’t crack but his heart did.
“Let us gather the money first, the rest can wait.”
Lu Jin stood up. “Take care of dad, I will discuss it with my father.”
There was nothing to be said now. Whatever self-blame or regret or even anger, they were all useless. What they needed right now was money. They needed money now or they will die, the Ye family will crumble.
The Lu family wouldn’t have a good time too.
Not long later, the Lu and Lei family gathered again. They had borrowed whatever they could and found whatever money they could find but it was barely $1 billion. They still needed $2 billion; it wasn’t easy.
This wasn’t $2 million or $2.5 million. This was $2 billion, $2 billion.
Lu Yi had heard what happened with the Ye family too. He quickly put down his work and told Lei Qingyi to get prepared. How were they not informed about something so big that was happening in their families? If Lei Qingyi hadn’t informed him, he would still be in the dark.
His grandfather was sick and unconscious. The Ye family had sold whatever they could sell and mortgage whatever they could mortgage. In a few days time, the entire Ye family will be homeless.
Just as he walked to the door, his phone sounded. He quickly picked it up and opened it. It was a notification of transfer.
$1.2 billion
Lu Yi stopped in his tracks. $1.2 billion. That was right. $1.2 billion.
This card number was from Yan Huan.
There was another alert as another notification came in.
“You need it, but I don’t.”
There were only six words; nothing more, nothing less.
Lu Yi clenched his phone as he strode out. At this moment, his feet were a little heavy as they landed on the floorboards. He wasn’t sure whose heart hurt more.
