Chapter 254 – And now, she was like a beggar and someone was throwing money at her to buy out her relationship with her younger daughter (3)
Mother Ye shook her head in refusal. “No!”
Father Ye pulled on her hand and silently accepted the three bank cards. “Mrs. Lu, as Zhenzhen’s father, I’m gratified to see that she has a mother-in-law like you, who acts in her best interest. It’s my lasting regret that I wasn’t able to treat her well in the past, and I won’t be able to make it up to her in the future.”
He paused and earnestly said, “Since she’s not willing to forgive us, then I won’t force it. Mrs. Lu, if Zhenzhen changes her mind and is willing to visit us in the future, her mother and I will welcome her back.”
Mrs. Lu wasn’t touched by Father Ye’s words. “I’ll pass on the message. I hope that you and your wife will quickly deal with Ye Qing’s matter as her parents.”
Father Ye repeatedly nodded and uttered reassurances.
Mother Lu didn’t have anything else she wanted to say to this couple. Picking up her bag, she left. In Mother Lu’s eyes, it was worth it to pay this 30 million yuan for her daughter-in-law.
However, right after Mrs. Lu, Mother Ye glared at Father Ye. “Do you know what you’ve just done and said? Do you want to force Qingqing to death?”
Father Ye put away the three bank cards. Hearing his wife’s accusation, he looked unhappy. “How can you say I’m forcing Qingqing to death? It’s not like you don’t know that the entertainment industry is a dog eat dog world. I don’t have the ability to support her, and she doesn’t have the ability to become popular on her own. It’s better that she leaves the entertainment industry earlier and stops causing trouble and stirring up those messy things.”
Mother Ye was furious. “Ye Zhenting, just for this 30 million yuan, you sold your daughter!”
Father Ye didn’t like to hear these types of words. “How can you say I sold my daughter? Didn’t you also agree when we had Ye Zhen marry into the Lu’s? What right do you have now to accuse me of selling my daughter? Moreover, I’m doing this for you. Look at how much money you spend every month on clothes, jewelry, and social gatherings. You spend so much money. Let’s be frugal with this 30 million yuan. It’ll be enough for us to enjoy retirement.”
Since they were in public, Mother Ye restrained her rage. “Fine, I don’t care about severing our relationship with Ye Zhen, but I absolutely won’t agree to Qingqing’s matter. Do you think you have that much value in our older daughter’s heart? Do you think she’ll listen to you? Let me tell you, you can keep dreaming if you think you can have her leave the entertainment industry!”
For a while, anger welled up in Father Ye too. “Dream on? Then let me tell you. If she won’t leave the entertainment industry, then I’ll see what she’ll do once the Lu’s step in.” As he said this, he angrily got up.
Mother Ye looked at Father Ye as he walked away. She clenched her jaw in anger. Unable to think of what to do, she called Ye Qing. She wanted to tell her about this matter so that she could prepare in advance.
“What? Leave the entertainment industry?” Displeased, Ye Qing said, “Mom, enough. I can handle the matter on my own. Don’t worry about it.”
She hung up without listening to Mother Ye’s explanation.
What kind of bad joke was that? Using the momentum she got from Ye Zhen’s bad publicity, her fame was soaring. Leave the entertainment industry at this point in time? No way!
Ye Qing ignored Mother Ye’s calls. Finding her mother bothersome, she simply turned off her phone.
She and a few other actors and actresses in the same company were sitting in the conference room and waiting for the meeting to start. The stars in the company pretended to get along with each other as if they were the best of friends, but in reality, things were already ugly between them. They had been unscrupulously snatching resources from each other. It was only in front of the company’s senior executives that they pretended everything was peaceful.
Before long, the door was pushed open and several senior executives entered the room. One of those people surveyed the room. That person’s gaze stopped on Ye Qing.
“We called you over today to announce something.”
Everyone held their breath.
“Lu Corporation proposed to acquire our company and senior management has unanimously agreed to that proposal after discussion.”
