Chapter 437: Chapter 437: Whose Genes Did the Little Devil Inherit_1
I was too emotionally invested and ended up being duped into poverty by that scumbag Ye Wanli.
"Since I was young, I’ve been milking Old Man Ye for all he’s worth. I made quite a tidy sum with my allowance money, and I even tricked him into buying me expensive luxury items. I then sold them at a higher price to my classmates. As you know, I’ve always been a trendy little socialite at school and everyone wants what I have," she bragged.
Ye Lu was shocked. The child had already mastered making money off her classmates at such a young age. She inherited such a ruthless streak from who exactly? Certainly not from her!
Hehe, when I left the Ye Family, I swept out a good many treasures belonging to Old Man Ye. I sold them for a nice tidy sum. Of course, while conning is my forte, big money-making is not, so I handed all the money over to my asset manager -- my brother Ye Yuan. Now, let him introduce our money-making strategies," she added.
"Having money in the bank is worthless. It’s better to invest it," Ye Yuan stated, crossing his arms with a smart-alecky expression.
"I’ve been looking for ways to make money for a long time. I studied stock trading intensively and even learned from Grandpa Jun. Under his recommendation, I invested in several stocks that all limit-up. I reinvested both my profits and my original capital, and this bull run over more than a month has snowballed our profits delightfully. Adding it all up, we only just made a measly few million," Ye Yuan shared, shrugging dismissively.
"A few million? You’ve made only a few million? You little devil trying to impress me with your earnings? I’ve been making money for years, and I barely have enough for expenses," Ye Lu exclaimed, grumbling.
Ye Lu was bursting with envy. This little devil was better at making money than her! It was agonizing!
Ye Yuan was dismissive.
"Empty words, if we truly had enough capital like those stock market geniuses, and put a few hundred million or even billions in the stock market, we would be billionaires by now. Our few million are nothing, barely a drop in the bucket. Unfortunately, my principal was too small. I could only make small investments," he said smugly.
Ye Lu could only grit her teeth at this cocky boy.
How could a boy his age can talk about billions and millions so casually, while looking so confident like he’s pointing out the future of the country?
Who did he inherit this trait from, she wondered?
She was a bit curious about the father of her two treasures. The kids must have inherited from him, for their IQ was truly unreachable, much smarter than her.
"So, mommy, you can relax now. With us as your backbone, you can do whatever you want," Ye Yuan carefully said to her.
Ye Yiyi supplemented the thought, "And, whoever you want to marry, I will help you be the matchmaker. My accuracy rates are one hundred percent."
Ye Lu’s heart was full of love. She really didn’t raise these two little things in vain, such cute and considerate darlings. So what if she lost Gu Yan? Having them in her life was enough. She didn’t need anything else in the world.
After Ye Lu left, Ye Yuan looked at Ye Yiyi.
"Are you still going to continue the search?"
"Of course, do I, Ye Yiyi, give up easily? Hmmph, I absolutely have to find out who my dad is," Ye Yiyi declared, clenching her little fists.
...
Ye Lu came to the hospital; Yan Yu had been drowsy since waking up, probably because she’d been unconscious for so long. She couldn’t fully wake up, but the fact she was able to wake up at all was a miracle.
"Mom, let me massage your hands and feet. You’ve been laying down for too long—you need to get your blood circulating to get healthier." Ye Lu seeing her mother fills her heart with happiness.
"Where’s Ye Wanli? Why hasn’t he come to see me?" Yan Yu’s voice was faltering and slow.
Ye Lu startled. She didn’t dare to tell her mother the hard truth. She could only say that she had been out of touch with him for years, and that they didn’t keep in contact much anymore.
