Chapter 75 If She Never Came Out

When Cui Jiachang heard this, he took out his chopsticks to pick up the fish and said, "I wanted to give it a try, but now it seems like it's really difficult."

"That's right. My eldest uncle's family is in the banking industry. Do you think we can borrow money from him?" Yu Wanmei said, "Didn't you say yesterday that my eldest daughter is loved by her parents-in-law, and my father-in-law will definitely help her for her sake?"

Cui Huiwen married the son of a local banker. This was an engagement made by the older generation. When Cui Huiwen became pregnant, she quit Glory. Cui Jiachang always felt that he was thinking about his daughter. Since Huiwen had become a daughter-in-law, she should stay at home to take care of her husband and children after marriage and expand the Qin family.

Until today, he went to discuss it with his father-in-law, who said, "Huiwen has already calculated Cui Ji's current situation. Her suggestion is that, from a business perspective, we can only lend you money if you use Lide's shares as collateral. But I have to make it clear to you first. If you mortgage Lide, once Cui Ji has problems, you won't even be able to get Lide back."

At that moment, he suddenly realized that his little daughter's attack on Cui Ji was aimed at his shares in Lide. But his little daughter has been running Lide for many years. Although Lide's market value has risen, he is still the largest shareholder. Where did his little daughter get the money to leverage all this?

He decided to discuss it with his eldest daughter. He called her home and the maid told him that the eldest daughter had gone to work at the Gangcheng Club. The Gangcheng Club was one of the four major guilds in the Gangcheng stock market, and Cui Ji's stocks were listed and traded at the Gangcheng Club. The Qin family had a stock brokerage firm, so it seemed that the eldest daughter had gone to work at their own stock brokerage firm.

In desperation, he could only ask for the phone number and call Huiwen.

Huiwen said that her child was in kindergarten and she had nothing to do at home. In recent years, she made several investments and made considerable profits. Her son-in-law and in-laws supported her to start a business, so she went to work at a stock brokerage firm.

He had a long talk with Huiwen, who complained a lot about him. Finally, he agreed to talk to Huiyi and persuade her to stop.

Who could have expected that the return records stolen by the so-called reporter from Li De would appear in the news that night. There was not just one return, but several. This undoubtedly added fuel to the fire of Cui Ji, which was in crisis.

Cui Jiachang didn't believe it at all. Since the borax incident, Li De, which was managed by Cui Huiyi like an iron barrel, how could it be so easy for reporters to sneak in? He believed that Cui Huiyi did it on purpose. He went to Cui Huiyi angrily, but found that the eldest daughter was also there. The two daughters were completely on the same side. How could he borrow money from his in-laws? Even if his in-laws were willing to lend money, how could he dare to use Li De as collateral?

He mechanically took a mouthful of rice and said in a low voice: "The two sisters are of the same mind. They want me to transfer Li De to them. From now on, Cui Ji belongs to Cui Ji and Li De belongs to Li De. In this way, Hui Yi will let me go. Or there is a 'better' way, that is, I transfer most of Cui Ji's shares to the two sisters, I resign as the chairman of Cui Ji's board of directors, and let Hui Yi take over directly. As long as she manages Cui Ji and Li De, the situation may be reversed immediately."

"How is it possible!" Yu Wanmei almost screamed, "You founded Cui Ji, and you also hold a large stake in Li De. The two of them betrayed you and framed you, and you still want to give up your shares? Miss, you are dreaming, how can a married daughter go back to her parents' home to share the property? If a daughter is thinking about her parents' property, she will be criticized! Besides, how can they turn the situation around?"

"Cui Huiyi has grown Lide to its current scale in less than six years. As long as she takes over Cui Ji, the market will be reassured and Cui Ji's stock price will naturally stabilize." Cui Jiachang looked at her and sneered.

He continued, "What's more, she has a good friend, your biological daughter, the now popular Yue Ning. Anyone who is not blind can see how popular the soy sauce chicken noodles have become after they were launched. Cui Ji's products have no characteristics? She can change the formula, put the Baohua Building Ning Xiaochu logo on it, and the sales will take off immediately. How much market share does Hong'an Department Store and supermarkets occupy in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia? How much Mrs. Qiao loves Huiyi, don't you know? I will give Cui Ji and Li De to my daughter, so you don't have to sell this big house and jewelry. But in the future, Huishu, don't expect to get anything from me. Otherwise, for Huishu, you and I will share the hardships and take the risk of selling the house and jewelry together, and finally Cui Ji can't be saved."

Cui Jiachang stared at Yu Wanmei and asked, "Are you going to sell it or not?"

"You can't let me sell it alone, can you? You still have the mansion, and other things..."

She actually mentioned selling the Cui family mansion first? This instantly ignited Cui Jiachang's anger. He suddenly smashed the bowl in his hand, and the porcelain collided with the mahogany table, with crisp and dull sounds intertwined. Then, he stood up and pulled the tablecloth, and the half-remaining cake and the dishes on the table were scattered all over the floor, and the room was in a mess.

He rushed over, grabbed Yu Wanmei's hair and dragged her out of her seat. His son was huddled in the corner in fear, not even daring to look over here.

Cui Jiachang was angry and sad. He worked hard day and night, and exhausted all his energy. However, seeing his son's cowardly behavior, if he handed Cui Ji over to him in the future, it would be ruined sooner or later!

He stared at Yu Wanmei fiercely, and Yu Wanmei hurriedly hugged her head. Cui Jiachang's slaps and fists rained down on her head.

"All my property will belong to your son in the future, but someone else has to bear the risk? I've been unlucky since I married a woman like you! You're a disaster star, and any man who gets involved with you will be unlucky! If Yue Baohua's son hadn't married you, with the skills of both father and daughter, would he be in such a miserable state if he came out to take over Yue Baohua's job? It was you who caused him to die in the northwest! What about you? If you had been guarding Yue Baohua's son at the beginning, and came out now, with your daughter's skills, even if she couldn't become a rich man's wife, she could still be a rich man's mother!"

Yu Wanmei lay on the ground and cried, "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me! It's not my turn to say anything about what you want to do! I will..."

"So what? You only have money in your eyes. What else do you care about besides money?" Cui Jiachang finally vented all the pressure that had accumulated over the past few days on Yu Wanmei.

He fell to the ground, staring blankly at his son in the corner. In a trance, he seemed to see the high-spirited Yue Ning and the arrogant Cui Huiyi on his son's face. A person with such outstanding features, now curled up on the ground, looked so funny and pathetic!

Cui Jiachang slowly got up from the ground, feeling confused. He really didn't know what to do next. What was the point of trying his best to save Cui Ji?

He walked out with heavy steps. The driver was resting in the workers' room next to the carport. Seeing this, he immediately came over.

"Go back to the mansion."

After Cui Jiachang left, Cui Huishu finally came to his senses. He stood up tremblingly and walked over to help his mother who was still lying on the ground crying.

My mother had been beaten by my father before, but she never cried so desperately.

"Mom, how are you?"

Yu Wanmei looked at her son with tears in her eyes. These days, whenever she turned on the TV, she could always see her daughter. On that bright and cheerful face, she seemed to see the familiar face in her memory.

He once said: "You are in the food store, and I am in Fuyun Building. It's already very good. Although I don't eat too much, I'm not really hungry. Do you know how tight the food supply is in the country now?"

"Xiaomei, Ningning smiled at me. Ningning, call me 'Mom'."

"Our Ningning can call me 'Mom' now!"

Yu Wanmei thought of the chubby little baby calling "Mom" in an unclear voice, and that voice seemed to still echo in her ears.

"Xiaomei, the sweet and sour pork I made today was praised by my boss."

"Xiaomei, try it..."

Once, as the most popular girl in the food store, her superior arranged for her to marry the best young man in Fuyunlou. But he was just a cook who was obsessed with cooking, very dutiful, and had no ambition.

If they stayed in the mainland, she could foresee their whole life: she would become an old lady working in a food store, and he would become the old cook at Fuyunlou, living on a meager pension after retirement.

She longed for change and wanted to venture out into the world. But he looked at her like a stranger: "Xiaomei, are you crazy?"

She said she had already found out that they could take a boat to Gangcheng, and as long as they reached the center of Gangcheng, they could settle down there. Their biggest advantage was that his father was in Gangcheng, and it was easier for them to gain a foothold in Gangcheng than for others. And at that time, no one knew when the country's door would be closed. His mother had passed away long ago, and if his father remarried, the property his father earned in Gangcheng would have nothing to do with them.

"Even if you want to go, what about Ningning?" He held the child and lost his temper for the first time. "Now everyone is hungry, who has extra food to feed her? If we leave, Ningning may not survive. Is my father's property more important than Ningning's life? If you want to go, go ahead. I will never leave!"

By then, she had already paid the money and set a departure date with the snakehead. In order to leave, she secretly sent her child away while Yue Zhirong was at work.

After Yue Zhirong came back, he grabbed her neck like a madman and forced her to tell him the whereabouts of the child.

Later he found the child and said coldly, "Divorce me. After the divorce, you can go wherever you want."

They didn't divorce in the end, because it was too late. She paid for both of them, but ended up going on that dangerous road alone. In the pouring rain, she regretted countless times, but it was too late to turn back.

She finally met Yue Zhirong's father, Yue Baohua. At that time, a large number of refugees poured into the city and begged on the streets. In order not to affect the diners, Baohualou provided water and food to the refugees. Yue Baohua saw that she was pretty and kept her as a waitress, responsible for serving tea and water.

Looking at the face that looked similar to Yue Zhirong, and learning that Yue Baohua had always been single, she couldn't help but blame Yue Zhirong for not coming with her.

Every late night, she would always think of them father and daughter, hoping that the country's borders would open soon so that the family could be reunited.

However, hope was slim, so she had to look forward and began to seek support among the diners of Baohualou. Until one day, Yue Baohua drove her out, and from then on, she had no connection with the Yue family.

Over the years, watching sporadic reports from the mainland and seeing waves of mainland tourists coming to Hong Kong, even though Cui Jiachang occasionally went crazy, she always felt that her original choice was right.

Until the country opened up, Cui Huiyi returned to China and invited Cui Jiachang to inspect the joint venture project. She went with him, on the one hand to understand the situation, and on the other hand to find an opportunity to inquire about the news of the father and daughter. If she could meet them, she wanted to do her best to help them, which could also make up for the guilt in her heart.

But what she waited for was the sad news of Yue Zhirong's death, and a daughter who was so outstanding that she was a stranger to her.

Just now, Cui Jiachang's words were like a sharp blade, cutting open the deepest questions in her heart: If she hadn't left, what would her life be like now?
