I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!-Chapter 65 - You’re Smart_1

It’s one thing to owe money to friends, but the cash from cashing out credit cards, and the money from various online lending platforms— if I can’t pay it back, I’ll be blacklisted, subjected to malicious debt collection, and everyone will know.

I’ll be ruined!”

She had thought this venture was a sure bet.

But she hadn’t expected such bad luck to hit a setback like this.

It was no wonder she was frantic, being unable to pay back the money.

“Yuting, don’t panic.

There must be a way out.

Let’s think of a solution together,” Liu Chao could only comfort her in this way.

“What other way could there be?

Tell me, what else can we do?” Chen Yuting harbored resentment towards Liu Chao because it was his suggestion that led her to borrow money to buy Yaolai Technology stocks.

And that led to this situation.

1.2 million.

Where was she supposed to find that kind of money?

“Don’t worry, let me think…” Liu Chao pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up, “I’ve got it!”

“What solution?” Chen Yuting asked eagerly.

“Yuting, how could you forget?

There’s also the insurance business of the Ao City Chamber of Commerce.

As long as you secure that business and get the commission, repaying a debt of over a million will be a breeze,” Liu Chao said with a laugh.

“Right, right, you’re right.

I’d forgotten about that.

You mentioned before that your dad had already spoken with important figures at the Ao City Chamber of Commerce.

There won’t be any issues, right?” Chen Yuting’s heart settled a little, but she was still worried.

The deal was huge, and many companies were eyeing it.

Although Liu Chao said it was practically confirmed, nothing was certain until the end.

It was just like what happened with Yaolai Technology’s stocks.

They had been in great shape, even hitting the upper limit yesterday, but today they hit the lower limit and might even be delisted.

Who could know for sure?

“Don’t worry, it’s definitely going to be fine,” Liu Chao assured her.

…

That afternoon.

Shen Dong and Chen Yuyan arrived at the department store.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was in just a couple of days, and Shen Dong planned to take Chen Yuyan back to his hometown for the holiday.

They were going home tomorrow, so they went out to buy some things first.

Two hours later, laden with bags big and small, they emerged from the store.

The trunk of the Bentley was stuffed full.

They didn’t head straight back to Century Garden, instead, they went to Chen Yuanxiang’s restaurant.

As Shen Dong was taking Chen Yuyan back to his hometown for the Mid-Autumn Festival the next day, he wanted to have a meal today with his father-in-law ahead of the holiday, as per Chen Yuyan’s suggestion.

On the way.

Chen Yuyan browsed the news on her phone and after seeing the fraudulent activity and stock price drop of Yaolai Technology, she remembered the message Chen Yuting had sent to Shen Dong the night before.

“Honey, Yuting said she bought Yaolai Technology stocks last night, right?” Chen Yuyan asked.

“Yes, that company ran into trouble, and their stocks hit the lower limit.

Unless something unexpected happens, Yaolai Technology will be delisted, and those who bought its stocks will lose everything,” Shen Dong was aware of the situation.

“Then Yuting has lost her money, I wonder how much she invested,” Chen Yuyan said, frowning.

“It must be a considerable amount, otherwise she wouldn’t have gone out of her way to send a message to me,” Shen Dong shook his head.

“Her money must be borrowed too.

With everything lost, I really don’t know what she’s going to do.” Chen Yuyan was actually quite worried for her sister.

“Do you want to pay off her debts?” Shen Dong asked.

He had given Chen Yuyan five million, intended as spending money for her.

If Chen Yuyan wanted to pay off Chen Yuting’s debts, he didn’t mind.

Since it was unlikely Chen Yuting could borrow such a large amount, five million would certainly be more than enough to cover her debts.

“She hasn’t come to me for help, which means she’s not in dire straits yet.

I won’t help her out unless she comes to me first,” Chen Yuyan shook her head.

In this case, she couldn’t take the initiative unless Chen Yuting came to her, explained her situation, and she determined that Chen Yuting truly had no other options.

Only then would she consider helping.

“Mm, you do what you think is best,” Shen Dong said.

“What if she comes to you for a loan?

Would you be willing to help her?” Chen Yuyan asked.

“What do you think?” Shen Dong countered.

“I’m guessing you would, considering she’s your ex-girlfriend after all,” Chen Yuyan said with a smile.

“I will consult with you first.

If you say we help, we help.

If you say we don’t, we don’t,” Shen Dong, sensing danger, quickly replied.

“Hmph, smart man,” Chen Yuyan snorted with feigned indignation.

Shen Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Shen Dong’s phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and connected the car’s Bluetooth system.

“Shen Dong, where are you now?” Zhou Chengyu’s voice came from the phone.

“On my way to dinner,” Shen Dong replied.

“Shen Dong, Yaolai Technology really is in trouble.”

“Thankfully, neither my dad nor I bought any shares.

Otherwise, we’d have suffered a huge loss.”

“You don’t know, my dad and I were about to buy several hundred million worth.

I shared your analysis with my dad, and he decided not to go through with it.”

“You really saved us from a potential loss of hundreds of millions.”

“I’ve booked a restaurant and will send you the address shortly.

Come over, I need to properly toast you a couple of drinks, and I’ll invite Mr.

Li and Mr.

Wan too.”

Zhou Chengyu was very excited and greatly admired Shen Dong.

If it weren’t for Shen Dong’s warning, he and his father would have lost a fortune.

Several hundred million didn’t pose an existential threat to their family, but it would still be incredibly painful.

“Mr.

Zhou, not tonight.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is just around the corner and I’m taking my wife for dinner with her father tonight, which is why we’re on the road now,” Shen Dong replied.

“Then let’s do it tomorrow, we can meet up then,” Zhou Chengyu, not insisting, understood Shen Dong couldn’t just leave his wife and father-in-law.

“Tomorrow won’t work either.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming up and I’m taking my wife back to her hometown.

That’s actually why we’re having dinner with her father tonight, to celebrate the festival a bit early,” Shen Dong said.

“I see.

Then let’s talk after the Mid-Autumn Festival, once you’ve returned from her hometown,” Zhou Chengyu agreed.

…

6:00 PM.

Chen Yuanxiang’s restaurant.

Shen Dong, Chen Yuyan, and Chen Yuanxiang sat at a small table enjoying hotpot.

The rounds of drinks flowed, and the dishes varied in flavor.

“Dad, you’ve worked hard for most of your life, and now that Yuyan and I have money, there’s no need for you to keep running the restaurant,” Shen Dong began.

“Once the subway station they’re building nearby is finished, there will be even more foot traffic here since it’s right by the entrance.

The shop will become even more valuable, and you could just rent it out.”

“The annual rent alone could be around five hundred thousand.”

“You could just collect the rent without having to do any work.”

“Of course, you could earn even more if you keep managing the restaurant, but that would be too exhausting.”

“Another option is to hire a manager to take care of it for you, and you could travel around.”

“You and Yuyan have worked hard for most of your lives, and now it’s time for you to enjoy your rewards.”

Shen Dong saw his father-in-law was indeed working hard, busy until nine o’clock every night.

Once the subway here is operational, who knows, it might mean working even later.
