Sweet Wife in My Arms - Chapter 330

Chapter 330: What Is The Use Of Coming Home?

“How is that possible?” Su Ancheng’s voice raised a pitch.

“How can it start work? They do not have that much money. How could they have so much money? $3 billion. It is $3 billion. Even if they sold the entire Ye family they can only raise $4 billion.”

“Dad, do not forget that there is still the Lu and Lei family.” Su Dongqing also gritted his teeth at this. There were many emotions within his eyes too; anger and hatred and perhaps others that only he knew.

“Even so, they cannot have raised $4 billion.” Su Ancheng was never suspicious of this. Unless the Lu and Lei family sold everything away, they would only be able to raise around $3 billion. Even though it wouldn’t affect the Lu and Lei family dramatically, they wouldn’t make such a risky decision too.

Hence, it would have been impossible to raise this $3 billion.

Something must have gone wrong somewhere, it must have. But what had gone wrong? Where had he gone wrong?

Naturally, the Su family hoped that something had gone wrong somewhere. This is because they had already calculated carefully and had planned how to take over the fatty meat left behind by the Ye family. The only one that could swallow down this piece of meat in the entire Sea City was only the Su family.

This piece of land was a piece of fatty meat but it was a pity that the Ye family were unable to chew it. At the end of the day, the Su family stood to gain.

They had already planned properly and was only waiting for the Ye family to get out of Sea City. Of course, they had already prepared all the money that they needed and had established good ties with the bank. Once the Ye family has fallen, they would immediately accept it.

Even though $3 billion was a lot, with the Ye family’s foundation, they could definitely carry it up. If they lasted for a few years, the Su family would be able to surpass the Lu and Lei families. Of course by then, the Ye family would no longer exist.

But tell them, what had happened?

Even if the airport started construction, the Su family believed that this was the Ye family pulling tricks up their sleeves. Only after a few days when the construction didn’t stop, the Su family started panicking. Su Dongqing went to find out and a reliable source told him that the Ye family had all their funds in place, not a single cent less. The Su family had bought back everything that Old Ye had sold.

For a moment, the Su family thought that the Ye family had robbed a bank.

Whether they had robbed a bank or money had blown their way, the Ye family had persevered. So long as the airport was in existence for a day, it would benefit their descendants for generations to come.

Ye Jianguo woke up the next day.

As he opened his eyes, he saw the Qing Dynasty white jade porcelain on the table beside him. He sat up and took a look at it. In an instance, tears streamed down his face.

It was the love gift between him and his late wife. Why was it back now?

Nope, he remembered clearly that he had sold it. Now that it was back, this must be a dream.

He brought over a cup as his skinny fingers ran against the line patterns on it.

It was the same temperature, the same touch…

“Partner, I have failed you…”

At this moment, the door opened.

“Dad, you’re awake?”

Old Ye had just woken up and was unsure if he was still in a dream or awake. With this disturbance, the cup fell from his hand.

Suddenly, a hand extended forward to catch the cup that had almost fallen to the ground.

This was a porcelain that had been fashioned in the Qing Dynasty, it was incredibly exquisite.

“Grandpa, be careful. Do not break it.”

Lu Yi placed the cup back to where it was but didn’t feel safe. He carried the entire porcelain set up and placed it properly. They can talk about it when Old Ye’s emotions have stabilised.

“Dad,” Ye Shuyun was half laughing and crying upon seeing her father awake.

“Shuyun, come over.”

Ye Jianguo sighed before extending his hand and calling for Ye Shuyun.

Ye Shuyun quickly went over. Upon seeing her father’s white hair, she felt a tinge of sadness again. That unbeatable father that picked her up so many years ago had finally aged. How? She couldn’t bear for him to leave.

Now that Ye Jianguo had awoken, he was no longer in a daze. He gently rubbed his daughter’s hair. “Time really passed so quickly, you are almost a grandmother and I am old too.”

‘Shuyun, after dad leaves, you must lead a good life with Lu Yi. I am not worried for you. Your brother might need to carry a debt his entire life and might not have a good ending. Help as much as you can. If you can’t dad won’t blame you.”

“This is all my fault, but at the end of the day, my children need to carry this burden.”

“Dad, what are you blabbering about?” Ye Shuyun wiped her tears; she almost broke down in laughter from his words.

“The Ye family will be fine, brother will be fine. The Ye family’s airport has started construction. The money is all there.”

“Do not lie to me,” Ye Jianguo sighed again. His hair seemed even whiter.

“How can we have the money? $3 billion isn’t a small sum. Even robbing a bank might not be able to help you raise so much money in such a short time.”

“Dad, it is true. I will not lie to you.”

Ye Shuyun gripped Ye Jianguo’s hand. “If you do not believe me, I can let Lu Yi bring you to the site to take a look. It has really started its construction.”

Old Ye’s fingers trembled, he still didn’t believe it.

At this moment, Lu Yi walked in from outside.

Ye Jianguo extended his hand to his grandson, “Lu Yi, come over here.”

Lu Yi walked over and squatted in front of him.

“Swear under your name as an attorney, do not lie to me,” Old Ye stared into his grandson’s eyes as he enunciated every word.

“Okay,” Lu Yi nodded, “Grandpa, I swear under the name of an attorney that whatever I say is the truth.”

“Okay,” Ye Jianguo closed his eyes, his hands were still trembling.

“Lu Yi, tell me. Has the airport started construction?”

“Yes.” Lu Yi nodded.

“Is it ours, the Ye family’s?” He asked again.

“Yes,” Lu Yi nodded again.

Ye Jianguo suddenly covered his face and cried just like this. Tears streamed down his face again.

Suddenly, the door opened and Ye Chuji’s son, Ye Xinyu walked over. He looked as if he was a homeless man who had just escaped home. He hadn’t washed his hair in a few days, his clothes were sour and smelly. His eye bags were evident.

He threw his suitcase on the floor and walked a few steps before kneeling in front of his grandfather.

“Grandpa, grandpa…”

“I am useless, I am useless.”

He suddenly cried with all his might as he grabbed onto Old Ye’s legs. He was howling how useless he was. That was right, he was useless. It was him; he was really useless. Something so big like this had happened and he only knew about I now. How could he be called a grandson of the Ye family?

Ye Jianguo rubbed his face but didn’t say a thing.

“What use is there for you to come back? That’s right, what use is there?”
