Tang Yufen took out a check from her bag and respectfully handed it to Gu Nianci.

“Miss, this is a small token of my appreciation. I know you are not living a very comfortable life right now, and it pains me to see you suffering.”

Gu Nianci's expression changed drastically. This was what she hated most. She even felt that Tang Yufen was deliberately using money to humiliate her!

"I'm doing very well now, at least I'm not having to bury my child. Take your filthy money back!"

Gu Nianci didn't even look at it. Seeing that Tang Yufen still wouldn't stop, she was so angry that she wanted to snatch the check and tear it up. Ye Qingqing snatched it away, thinking it was a lot more, but it was only two hundred thousand!

"Back then, you and Ye Xunmei stole 10,000 silver dollars from my grandmother's savings, as well as jewelry of immeasurable value. If we roughly calculate it, the silver dollars and jewelry together would be worth at least five million (just a rough calculation, don't take it too seriously). You only returned 200,000. Is this your sincere apology?"

Ye Qingqing waved the check and looked at Tang Yufen with a mocking expression.

They talk a good game, but that old hag stole no less than five million back then. Two hundred thousand is just a beggar's paycheck!

Tang Yuhua was filled with resentment. Not only was that brat sharp-tongued, but she was also incredibly shameless. She had to get rid of that brat as soon as possible, otherwise she would become even more troublesome once she grew stronger!

"Ye Xunmei took that money back then; I had no idea about it." Tang Yufen pinned everything on Ye Xunmei.

Ye Qingqing said coldly, "Anyway, it was either you or Ye Xunmei who took it, but it was the two of you who used it. Without that large sum of money, how could you, a mere cook's daughter, have the right to set up a company in Hong Kong?"

Ye Yuanxiu's face darkened further. Now he seemed to understand something. The things his grandmother had said before were quite different from what the Sang family was saying now, and they had even brought up a contract of indenture.

Could it be that Grandma really wasn't from a prestigious family, but just the daughter of a cook and a coachman?

Ye Qingqing paused for a moment, then said, "A life for a life, and you should return the money you stole. Since you want to make amends, then show your sincerity. You don't need to return the man you stole; you can keep him for yourself. But you have to return the money you stole. I don't want any more. My grandma will suffer a little loss; let's say five million!"

Tang Yufen sneered inwardly. Such an outrageous demand! But she had to consider who it was from. She wasn't going to be a sucker!

"I really didn't know about that money, and I didn't get any money from Ye Xunmei. The reason I was able to set up a company in Hong Kong was because I worked hard to earn it." Tang Yufen refused to admit that she had taken the money. It had been decades since then, so who knew what had happened back then? She just kept denying it.

"Shameless! I don't think you have any sincerity in apologizing. Get out!" Ye Qingqing gave him the order to leave.

The old lady said in a deep voice, "Let's go. You don't need to come again!"

"Young Miss, Cousin... I'll come to visit you again later." Tang Yufen sighed, her expression dejected, and with her back hunched, she left with Ye Yuanxiu's support.

The figure looked so forlorn that it evoked sympathy.

Ye Yuanxiu glanced at the check in Ye Qingqing's hand and felt a pang of heartache. Two hundred thousand was no small sum. The Ye family had been in dire straits recently, with sales plummeting, the factory incurring losses, and the family living off their savings.

Tang Yufen gave Ye Yuanxiu a warning look. It was only 200,000 yuan. She was willing to spend that amount of money. As long as it could confuse the enemy, it would be worth it!

"There's still 4.8 million in compensation left, I'm waiting!"

Ye Qingqing called out from behind, and Tang Yufen paused, her eyes flashing with a cold light.

That brat is too arrogant. Wait until her wings are clipped, then let's see how she dares to bark!
