Chapter 272 – Do you want to go to jail? (1)
The bodyguard, who had come out to chase away the reporters, checked this man’s identity, then he went over to Ye Zhen’s car window to confirm with Ye Zhen.
Of course, it only took a glance for Ye Zhen to recognize the original owner’s father, Ye Zhenting, despite not having much contact with him. She furrowed her brow. “How did he become like this?”
Lu Beichuan didn’t show Ye Zhenting a pleasant face. He ordered the bodyguard, “Have him leave.”
The bodyguard acknowledged the order and went to the front of the car to drive Ye Zhenting away.
However, while being chased away, Ye Zhenting shouted towards the car window, “Zhenzhen, no matter what, I’m your dad. Even if you marry into a prestigious family, you can’t refuse to recognize that I’m your dad!”
Hearing these words, the nearby reporters didn’t stop snapping their photos. There was a barrage of flashing lights from the cameras.
Lu Beichuan lowered the car window and had the bodyguard bring Ye Zhenting over. With a sharp and cold gaze, he looked at Ye Zhenting and asked, “Do you want to go to jail?”
Ye Zhenting had appeared in front of Ye Zhen today because he was at the end of his rope.
He knew that gambling wasn’t a good thing. It was all based on luck, but at any rate, there was a 50-50 chance of winning and losing. Rather than holding onto the 30 million yuan and living the remaining decades of his life unable to hold his head high, he might as well take this money to gamble.
At first, he had won buckets of money by gambling. How could he have known that his wins at the beginning would use up all of his luck? Soon after that, in the short span of a month, not only did he lose the 30 million yuan he started with, he ended up owning loan sharks another 40 million yuan.
Ye Zhenting knew that even if he sold his manson, his car, and the shares he had in the company, he won’t be able to collect the 40 million yuan that he owed the loan sharks.
If he didn’t repay that debt, he would lose his life!
He really had no other paths to go. Otherwise, he wouldn’t risk coming to see Ye Zhen.
Right now, other than Ye Zhen, who else could take out 40 million yuan to save him?
Although that 30 million yuan had bought out their parent-child relationship, no matter what, he was still Ye Zhen’s father. He had held her when she was a baby and raised her to adulthood. He didn’t believe that Ye Zhen would be able to treat him mercilessly.
Even if Ye Zhen was hard-hearted, she couldn’t show that in front of outsiders for the sake of her reputation.
As much as Ye Zhenting cared about how others viewed him, he was still able to value his life as more important his pride and reputation.
Besides, wasn’t 40 million yuan only a drop in the bucket for the Lu’s?
Lu Beichuan coldly looked at him. “Do you want to go to jail?”
Ye Zhenting’s eyes were shifty under Lu Beichuan’s sharp and cold gaze. He didn’t dare to look him in the eye. He knew that Lu Beichuan was threatening him and that he had the power to go through with this threat.
However, when he thought of his predicament, going to prison was nothing in light of that! He might not even be able to keep his life!
Seeing Ye Zhen, he clung to the window and shouted, “Zhenzhen, it’s Dad! I want to talk to you!”
Since Zhouzhou was in the car, Lu Beichuan didn’t want Ye Zhenting to make the situation worse, so he gave the bodyguard a look. The bodyguard forcibly pulled Ye Zhenting away.
The nearby reporters rushed to take photos of the car as it drove away. At the same time, they made sure Ye Zhenting was in those shots too.
In the car, Ye Zhen used a toy to divert Zhouzhou’s attention. He was easy to coax. He grabbed the toy and played by himself.
Ye Zhen thought of what had just happened and furrowed her brow. She was lost in her thoughts as she gazed out of the window.
Ye Zhen was very clear about Ye Zhenting’s character. When she had first found out that Mother Lu paid 30 million yuan to break her relationship with the Ye’s, she had been distressed over the waste of money, but now, she thinks that it was a good decision on Mother Lu’s part.
