Defrosting The Cold Young Master-Chapter 559 - 562: When a Person is Despicable, They’re Unbeatable

Chapter 559: Chapter 562: When a Person is Despicable, They’re Unbeatable

The status and wealth of the Shi family form the foundation of her glory and honor.

If the Shi family falls, she would transform from a princess into a Cinderella.

Such a future made her feel utterly desperate just thinking about it.

Shi Maotong fell dejectedly onto the sofa.

He rubbed his face, looking grief-stricken:”This time, our family may not make it.”

“No, dad,” Shi Qianling could not accept his words, “The Chi family’s power is comparable to ours. On Ye Xingbei’s side, with Brother Lan there, he can help us. Dad, cheer up, our family will be fine!”

“It’s not just the Chi family,” Shi Maotong bitterly said, “There is also the Duanmu family, have you forgotten? Chi Yu’s wife is Duanmu Ying. Now, the Duanmu family is aiding the Chi family to target us. Our Shi family cannot stand alone, the situation was already grim, and now with the added influence of some mysterious force against us, resulting in this scandalous news about your mother…”

“Then, should I go to ask Brother Lan for help?” Shi Qianling proposed, “On Ye Xingbei’s side, we are willing to apologize, willing to compensate to the best of our ability. We ask Brother Lan to help us, to help our family overcome this difficulty.”

No matter what, she could not let her family go bankrupt.

The Shi family was her fundamental source of security and livelihood.

If the Shi family really went bankrupt, even if she could still marry Ye Xinglan, her status in the Ye family would never be the same as it was at the height of the Shi family’s prosperity.

One’s maternal family is always a girl’s solid backing after her marriage.

Only with a strong maternal family can a girl stand firm after her marriage.

She could not let the Shi family collapse.

Never. freewēbnoveℓ.com

“That’s the only way,” spoke Shi Maotong, “Tell Ye Xinglan, as long as Ye Xingbei is willing to spare the Shi family this time, no matter what conditions he puts forth, I am willing to agree.”

Shi Qianling nodded, “I understand, father.”

The Ye family and the Shi family resided in the same villa community, it was just a three-minute drive apart.

Soon after, Shi Qianling arrived at the Ye family’s residence and met Ye Xinglan.

Ye Xinglan’s face was haggard, his eyes bloodshot, and he looked ill.

His father, after being infuriated by Gu Junzhu’s words, had spit blood and had since been unconscious, in very poor condition, and at any moment, could depart this world.

His mother was not able to bear the shock and fainted numerous times from crying, contracted a high fever, and had been delirious, yet the fever had not subsided until now.

He had just experienced the most painful two days of his life.

He hadn’t closed his eyes for two days and nights, his eyes were bloodshot, his lips blistered, he looked like a rugged vagrant, no longer the elegant and handsome young master he used to be.

Seeing Shi Qianling, there was no expression on his face.

Shi Qianling asked with concern, “Uncle and aunt haven’t woken up yet?”

“Not yet,” Ye Xinglan said emotionlessly, “Do you want something? If you do then say it, if you don’t I need to go.”

Knowing his mood was not good and she came to ask for help, Shi Qianling let his rudeness pass, she softly said, “Brother Lan, I’m sorry. I know that uncle and aunt are not well, and your mood isn’t good either. But a big problem has occurred in our family, my father asked me to find you, to ask you for help, so here I am.”

“You’re referring to the incident where your mother was photographed in the underground brothel?” Ye Xinglan responded, “That was Gu Junzhu’s doing, you’ve got the wrong person. I can’t help.”

Shi Qianling bit her lip, “But… The Ye family has taken care of Beibei for five years, saving her life. If it weren’t for you and Ah Li bringing Beibei and Xiao Shu back to the Ye Family, they might have died a long time ago. Brother Lan, if you go find Beibei and ask her to intercede with Gu Junzhu, I’m sure he would agree to spare our family…”
