Chapter 90 He really does like me.
The argument had attracted a lot of attention. Ye Minghua glared at them fiercely, then turned and left.
The company was on the verge of bankruptcy, so he naturally didn't need to go to work anymore and went straight home.
Wang Mei was taken aback when she saw him return at this time. After a while, she went over to help him hang up his clothes. Looking at his gloomy face, she tentatively spoke up.
"Did something happen? Why do you look so pale?"
Ye Minghua sneered, lit a cigarette, put it in his mouth, frowned, and took a deep drag.
"The company is short of funds to operate, and I'm afraid it can't be saved."
After a pause, Ye Minghua suddenly thought of something and looked up at Wang Mei.
To be precise, I was looking at the necklace around her neck.
"However... if I had some money to tide me over right now, maybe I'd be fine."
Wang Mei's smile froze, and she almost couldn't maintain her gentle expression.
"These things of mine are worthless."
"Lin Ran is now married to Xiao Jingchen, so she probably has a lot of money. You're her father, shouldn't she give some to you?"
Upon hearing her mention Lin Ran, a ruthless glint flashed across Ye Minghua's face. He took a deep drag on his cigarette and stubbed it out in the ashtray.
"Don't mention that unfilial daughter. If we were relying on her to make money, the company would have been gone long ago."
Wang Mei's heart skipped a beat, her eyes filled with conflict.
She naturally didn't want to live a hard life, but she really didn't have much money right now. As for those jewelry pieces, she had already sold a lot of them for Ye Chuchu, and what she had left were all worthless items.
"Minghua, don't worry, I'll think of something."
Wang Mei comforted him softly, which surprised Ye Minghua. He looked at the woman in front of him again and responded gently.
"Ah."
Wang Mei turned and went upstairs. She hesitated for a long time with her phone in her hand before finally dialing a number.
She definitely couldn't come up with the money, and now the only person she could rely on was Ye Chuchu. Even though she knew it wasn't right to do this, she had to try.
The Ye family absolutely cannot go bankrupt like this!
"Chuchu, Mom knows you're in a difficult position, but you can't just not help with this."
"Don't forget, you are the eldest daughter of the Ye family. If the Ye family falls, it won't do you any good."
Ye Chuchu really didn't want to get involved in these matters. Even if the Ye family really fell, she still had Xiao Jingchen. But then she thought, if the Ye family really lost, wouldn't she lose all face?
For the sake of her own pride, Ye Chuchu agreed.
She deliberately put on a pitiful-looking makeup and went out wearing only thin clothes.
Just as Zhou Qing arrived at the Xiao family's building, he happened to pass by.
Zhou Qing didn't dare say anything to this woman and could only take her upstairs.
Xiao Jingchen frowned when he found out, but when he caught sight of the figure outside the door, he ultimately didn't tell her to leave. Instead, he waved for her to come in.
"Brother Xiao, there's something I'd like you to help me with."
As soon as she entered, Ye Chuchu burst into tears, her fair face streaked with tears, her whole body trembling, looking extremely pitiful.
"Brother Xiao, the Ye family really has no other choice right now, but if you help us, I believe everything will be alright, right?"
After a pause, Ye Chuchu lowered her head again, looking helpless and forced.
"Even if it's... as compensation for that night, Brother Xiao, you must help me."
The woman in front of him was crying sadly, and her eyes were filled with a hint of caution. Xiao Jingchen fell completely silent.
He had originally intended to refuse, after all, Ye Minghua had done too much, but now Ye Chuchu had interrupted him...
The office was eerily quiet, with only faint sobs that could be heard.
After a long pause, Xiao Jingchen sighed.
"I will help you."
Consider it compensation for what happened that night.
Xiao Jingchen silently added in his heart, but did not say it aloud.
Xiao Jingchen was the one who orchestrated this whole thing behind the scenes. Now that he's stopped, the Ye family has recovered quite a bit. Although they're still struggling financially, things are much better than before.
But compared to the Ye family's situation, Ye Chuchu was more concerned about her relationship with Xiao Jingchen.
Thinking that she had only cried a few times in the past, and Xiao Jingchen had agreed to help without hesitation, Ye Chuchu felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey, and her face turned red with embarrassment at the thought.
"Brother Xiao really does like me."
Lin Ran had just gotten home from get off work when she saw Ye Chuchu sitting on the sofa, grinning foolishly with a smug look on her face. She froze for a second, then quickened her pace.
Ye Chuchu was just not very bright before, but now she seems to have completely lost her mind. She'd better stay away from her.
But reality is often different from what we wish for.
By the time Lin Ran realized it, Ye Chuchu had already stood in front of her, her expression different from usual.
This time, she raised her head high and gestured with her chin as if bestowing a favor.
"Lin Ran, Xiao-gege's favorite person is me. You should stay away from him from now on, okay?"
"Also, don't try to get close to him all the time. I'll be keeping an eye on you."
Hearing these words, which were not much different from before, Lin Ran silently lowered her head, hiding the mockery in her eyes.
"Oh, may I go through now?"
This indifferent reaction was not what Ye Chuchu wanted to see; she stood motionless in front of Lin Ran.
"Lin Ran, you know about the Ye family's situation, right? It was I who asked Brother Xiao to step in and save the company."
"Brother Xiao is willing to do anything for me. As for you, you need to know your place, understand?"
Lin Ran reacted to these words, but her gaze toward Ye Chuchu held a hint of pity.
Lin Ran also learned quite a bit about the Ye family.
Her lateness to the party not long ago was Ye Minghua's doing. Ever since that incident, the Ye family has been having problems. Even if Xiao Jingchen didn't say anything, she could guess who was behind it.
Only a fool like Ye Chuchu would be smug about something like this.
Thinking of this, Lin Ran looked at Ye Chuchu with even more pity, shook her head, and went upstairs past her.
"Lin Ran! What do you mean by that look?!"
Ye Chuchu's angry voice grew closer and closer, and Lin Ran panicked, running back to her room.
Once she was sure she had closed the door, Lin Ran quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
She paused, then took out a brand-new bank card from her pocket, stared at it for a long time, a faint smile on her face.
There is 500,000 yuan in this card, which is the money she saved from working during this period.
Although Xiao Jingchen didn't urge her, she kept the matter of borrowing money in her mind.
Because of this incident, she always felt ashamed in front of Xiao Jingchen, but things are different now.
She will pay back all that money soon, and then she can truly stand tall.
