Ye Zhenghua deliberately said that the money given by the Zhang family was half less.

He was afraid that if he said too much, Meng Xueyun would try to take the money and use it to subsidize Meng Zihan.

Meng Xue gasped, covering her mouth, "Ten thousand yuan? That much? How could she give us so much money?"

Ye Zhenghua said smugly, "It's all because our Xiao Chen is so capable. Zhang Tingting bullied her, and she immediately went to report their family."

"The Zhang family are big shots, and many people are watching them. Xiao Chen is a fearless girl who doesn't know her own limitations. They don't want to make a big fuss, so they asked me to persuade Xiao Chen to stop causing trouble."

"As long as Xiao Chen is willing to withdraw his report, they'll immediately release Xiao Han, arrange a better job for her, and even make me the deputy factory director!"

"Really? Is there really such a good thing?"

Meng Xueyun's eyes lit up with excitement.

"Of course it's true!" Ye Zhenghua raised the corners of his mouth. "Soon our whole family will be able to move back to the cadre compound, and you'll be the factory director's wife. You won't have to go to that lousy job anymore. I'll use this money to buy you some new clothes so you can be a rich lady too!"

"Oh my God!"

Meng Xueyun was so happy she almost cried just thinking about it.

She didn't care about anything else. As long as Xiaohan could get out and have a good job, she would be extremely satisfied!

She rushed forward, grabbed Ye Zhenghua's hand, and said repeatedly, "Old Ye, we must persuade Xiao Chen to withdraw her report as soon as possible. We can't miss such a good opportunity!"

She thought for a moment, then turned to leave, saying, "I'll go find her again, and if she doesn't agree, I won't let her go!"

“You definitely can’t handle this.” Ye Zhenghua quickly stopped her. “Tomorrow I’ll go to the school myself and talk to Xiaochen. She needs to understand that a family like ours can’t stand up to others. We’ll only suffer losses. It’s better for her to learn how to humble herself and build relationships. That’s more useful than just studying.”

Ye Linchen is stubborn and doesn't understand social etiquette at all.

Even if she's hooked up with a rich guy, wouldn't it be better to hook up with another one?

Having more friends means having more options!

Meng Xueyun obediently stopped.

This matter is too important to be messed up. It would be best if Ye Zhenghua personally took charge.

"I just hope she can listen to what you say and stop being so stubborn and unwilling to back down like before."

"Don't worry, I'll stay home today and think about how to talk to her so that she can't refuse."

Ye Zhenghua solemnly guaranteed.

The next day, Ye Zhenghua arrived at Ye Linchen's school early in the morning.

He stood behind a big tree downstairs in the girls' dormitory, his eyes fixed on the exit, afraid of missing Ye Linchen.

He didn't have to wait long before he saw Ye Linchen carrying two books, chatting and laughing with a girl as he walked out of the building.

Ye Zhenghua was overjoyed and quickly went to greet him.

"Xiao Chen, Xiao Chen!"

When Ye Linchen saw Ye Zhenghua's face, he rolled his eyes in disgust, turned his face away, and tried to leave.

Ye Zhenghua quickly stopped her, a smile plastered on his face.

"Xiao Chen, it's been so long, Dad missed you. Let's find a place and have a good talk."

Ye Linchen looked at him coldly: "I have nothing to say to you."

Ye Zhenghua was furious when he saw that she didn't give him any face in front of her classmates.

But thinking of the bright future that was within his grasp, he quickly suppressed his anger and patiently said, "Xiao Chen, I know you're still angry with me, but..."

Ye Linchen interrupted him and said to Li Hongying beside him, "Hongying, you go to the library first, I'll be right there."

Li Hongying looked at Ye Zhenghua curiously, then nodded in agreement: "Okay."

After Li Hongying left, Ye Linchen hurried to the small garden next to the dormitory building. Ye Zhenghua quickly followed, asking as they walked, "Was that your classmate just now? Why didn't you introduce her to your father? No matter how much I tried..."

“I know why you came to find me.” Ye Linchen turned around and looked directly at him. “It’s about the Zhang family, isn’t it? Let me tell you clearly, the Zhang family is not someone to be trifled with.”

Seeing her directness, Ye Zhenghua stopped trying to hide anything and immediately said, "You have too much prejudice against the Zhang family. Zhang Tingting's mother came to me, and her attitude was very good. She didn't hold your actions against you at all, and kept apologizing, saying that her daughter was being unreasonable before. She even gave me eight thousand yuan as an apology to show her sincerity."

"Xiao Chen, you're classmates from the same school, how could there be such a big conflict? Relax and don't be angry with Zhang Tingting anymore."

"As the saying goes, one should be lenient when one can, for revenge only leads to more revenge. If you don't hold it against me and withdraw your report, I'll give you half of this money."

Ye Linchen stared at him and asked sarcastically, "Eight thousand?"

The twins told her that Ye Zhenghua had received 20,000 yuan from the Zhang family, but she didn't expect Ye Zhenghua to be so greedy and try to embezzle the money.

Since last night, Ye Zhenghua had been telling himself that the Zhang family had only given him eight thousand, and he had almost forgotten that they had given him twenty thousand. When Ye Linchen asked him, he nodded confidently.

"That's right, this is no small sum of money. It would take me several years of hard work to earn this much! If I give you half, that's four thousand, enough for your tuition and living expenses for four years. Listen to me, go and withdraw the report."

Ye Linchen looked into his eyes and asked, word by word.

"Have you ever thought about why the Zhang family paid so easily? It's because they committed a major crime involving murder, which means they'll go to jail! They're already under the watchful eye of the Discipline Inspection Commission. If you take their money, it's considered accepting a bribe, and when the truth comes out, you'll go to jail too!"

"No way? How do you know these things? Are you kidding me?"

"Aren't you supposed to be all-knowing and well-informed? Why don't you use your brain? If it really were just a conflict between Zhang Tingting and me, would they go to all this trouble?"
