Chapter 263 – Who knows what those petty people hiding behind the scenes would do to the movie if they knew she was the producer? (1)
As she thought of how she had fallen during this time, bitterness and resentfulness rose up on her face. She flung her phone onto the ground to vent her anger. The phone’s screen cracked, but it still stubbornly lit up. It was an incoming call from Mother Ye.
The phone kept ringing. Ye Qing glanced at it before looking away. She didn’t intend to answer the call.
Ye Qing paced like a trapped beast. She had been trapped in desperate straits for too long, and she was now at her wit’s end. If she couldn’t find another company to sign her on, then it was all over for her!
Why had it become like this? She had known everything that would happen in the future, so why had her life fallen to such a state?
Ye Qing thought about Ye Zhen. She had looked radiant and dazzling at the wedding. After giving birth, she still looked like a young girl. Her dream was to replace Ye Zhen in that scene of the happy family of three in the backseat of the car that she had seen in her past life, but that dream was getting farther and farther out of her reach.
Ye Qing closed her eyes and clenched her hands. It couldn’t be that she was inherently worse than Ye Zhen, right?! She wasn’t willing to accept that!
The phone continued to untimely ring. Ye Qing was seething in anger, and the ringtone was very irritating. Just as she was about to turn off her phone, she strangely thought of what Older Sister Li had said to her. With money, you can do anything you want.
Mrs. Lu had given her father 30 million yuan. In other words, she could pay the liquidating damages to Chaoxun Entertainment in full. Perhaps, things weren’t as dire as she had thought. Perhaps, after she terminated her contract with Chaoxun Entertainment, she could find another entertainment company and continued to progress. Who knows how the future would unfold?
She eagerly answered the call, “Mom, the 30 million yuan that Dad has, could you...”
“Qingqing, hurry back here. Come save your dad!” Mother Ye’s voice was very agitated. It vaguely sounded as if she was crying.
Starled, Ye Qing asked, “Mom? What’s wrong?”
“Hurry, come back!” Mother Ye didn’t say anything else. She just kept crying. It sounded like something big had happened.
Ye Qing went home that night. Once she entered the mansion, she saw that the living room was a mess. Things had been smashed onto the floor, the leather sofa had been slashed, and the coffee table was broken into many pieces. Mother Ye was sitting on the sofa and wiping her tears.
“Mom? What happened?”
As soon as she saw that Ye Qing had returned, Mother Ye seemed as if she had found a pillar. She grabbed her hand and wouldn’t let go. She was trembling from post-traumatic stress.
“It’s your dad!”
“What’s wrong with Dad?”
“That b*stard took out that 30 million yuan without telling me to gamble. He lost all of it and owes 40 million yuan to loan sharks!”
“Loan sharks! 40 million yuan?! How?!” Ye Qing was incredulous. “Mom, did you hear them wrong? How could Dad owe so much money? Hasn’t he always known to not borrow money from loan sharks? How could he borrow money from them?”
“I don’t know. A bunch of people came recently. They said that after your dad signed an agreement for the amount that he owed them, he disappeared. I can’t get in touch with him. If we can’t repay the 40 million yuan, they’re going to take our mansion!”
Ye Qing looked up and around the formerly dazzling mansion. The ground was full of glass shards, the furniture was destroyed, and the locks on the front doors were also broken. It was easy to picture how violent those people were.
“Where’s Dad?”
Mother Ye shook her head. “I don’t know. I haven’t seen him in over a week. The loan sharks couldn’t find your dad, so they came here.”
Ye Qing understood how. Her father knew that he couldn’t repay the debt, so he most likely ran away. “Mom, call the police!”
“What’s the use in calling the police? Those people are loan sharks. They don’t take the law into consideration. If we anger them, can we still live?”
“What else can we do?” Ye Qing sharply said, “Can we get the 40 million yuan to pay them?”
