Chapter 18 Zhou Yuanyao discovers the vault is gone

Zhou Ziyue's situation created a somber atmosphere in the Zhou family! Coupled with Yu Wen's emotional outburst, this greatly angered Zhou Yuanyao!

Zhou Ye leaves early and returns late every day, claiming that he wants to maintain a good relationship with the young master of the Song family so that his uncle's job can be restored to normal as soon as possible.

Her reasons were valid, so no one bothered her.

Zhou Zijun, however, was not good at planning. Even with his family in such a state, he did not reduce his spending at all!

"Dad, give me a thousand yuan!"

"How much?" Zhou Yuanyao was shocked. He didn't care when he had more money, but now that his family's secret stash had been stolen and his savings were being used up, he was starting to feel reluctant to part with it!

Zhou Zijun didn't realize: "Dad, I finally managed to coax my boyfriend back, so I have to buy him something to make up for it."

However, it's your fault. If you hadn't lost your job, we wouldn't be in this situation!

A thousand yuan isn't much to buy my girlfriend a watch or a few clothes! You know my girlfriend's family background!

"Our marriage will only bring benefits to our family, not harm."

Although Zhou Yuanyao was displeased, he felt that what his eldest son said made sense! Zhou was also an unknown quantity. Marrying into the Song family would only give her a new job, and who could say what the future benefits would be?

It's always better to have your own children learn steadily and surely!

"There's too much money, wait a minute! I'll give it to you this afternoon!"

Zhou Yuanyao glanced in the direction of the bedroom, shook his head, and left!

An hour later, Zhou Yuanyao staggered open the door, crying and shouting like a child, looking for Yu Wen to come out.

Yu Wen was in a bad mood and came downstairs with a hostile expression, but she was startled when she saw Zhou Yuanyao's appearance.

Yu Wen suddenly had a bad feeling.

Has Ziyue's body been found?

Suddenly, it felt as if ten pounds of iron had weighed down his feet, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up: "Ziyue..."

Before he could even ask, Zhou Yuanyao stammered, "My money's gone! Gone..."

Yu Wen trembled in her heart and her whole body tensed up. Others might not know, but she did. It was a vault that only she and her husband knew about!

How is that possible?

Gone? So many gold bars, so much money, and supplies, just gone?

Impossible! Absolutely not!

She practically tumbled down the stairs, throwing herself at Zhou Yuanyao and yelling, "Our money is gone!"

Explain clearly, what's gone?

Zhou Yuanyao's face turned pale: "It's gone...it's all gone!"

Yu Wen's eyes widened, and he said incoherently, "The money, the gold bars, are gone? That was all that was left!"

My money!

Ahhhhh... I don't believe it, I don't believe it!

As he spoke, he lunged forward, and Zhou Zijun followed behind Yu Wen, worried.

This was the first time he had ever seen the vault his parents had talked about! It was actually in the cellar! He couldn't imagine how much his parents had hidden there, especially since the cellar was so big and there were so many marks from the boxes!

so……

How much did his parents hide from him?

Was the reason for not telling me to keep it from me? Or was it for my daughter?

Thinking of this, Zhou Zijun felt a surge of resentment and bitterness!

Yes, Mom always favored Ziyue the most. Now Ziyue is gone, and the money is gone too. Was it all just a show?

Impossible, my parents' faces don't look like they're lying!

but……

The thought of losing so much money, perhaps the money I had hidden for Ziyue, brought me not only heartache but also a strange sense of satisfaction!

If it was meant for yourself, why not let yourself know?

Zhou Zijiao did not follow; she stayed to look after her father.

"Dad, how much stuff did we lose?"

Zhou Yuanyao was devastated. He muttered, "My gold bars, my money, so many boxes, all gone!"

Zhou Zijiao was shocked. So, her parents had kept many boxes of gold bars and money hidden from her.

Who is it for?

Zhou Zijun? Or Zhou Ziyue?

Suppressing her slight displeasure, Zhou Zijiao stood up.

After Yu Wen and Zhou Zijun returned, the four of them looked ashen-faced!

"Dad, what about my boyfriend?"

Zhou Yuanyao sneered, "Zhou Zijun, I'm your father, not your money vault! The family's money's gone, so what? Are you going to send your father to rob it?"

Zhou Zijun was annoyed: "It's not like I lost it, why are you yelling at me? Maybe you guys were too conspicuous when you took the money and someone noticed!"

Zhou Yuanyao glared at him, but he wasn't in the mood to argue.

"We're out of money!"

Yu Wen murmured.

Zhou Zijiao's eyes darted around: "How could we not have money? Aren't you rich, Zhou?"

"What?"

Everyone looked up at her. Yes, she had given Zhou Ye 10,000 yuan earlier.

“I recently bought a lot of dowry for Zhou Ye, which can all be exchanged for money, and there’s also the 10,000 yuan that my dad gave me before.”

"If they come back, we can solve our immediate problem."

"How could she possibly give it to me?" Zhou Zijun rolled her eyes. She used to think Zhou Ye was easy to bully, but can't she see that these past few days?

It was all an act before!

"You have to give it to us whether you want to or not!"

Yu Wen gritted his teeth and said!

Zhou Yuanyao seemed to have made up his mind as well, and said nothing.

Zhou also came home after dinner. When she got home, the living room light was still on, and she knew that something strange was going to happen tonight!

"Xiao Ye, come and sit down. Your uncle wants to see you."

Zhou Ye sat there calmly, his back straight, looking at the Zhou family with a smile on his lips, but with every breath he took, there seemed to be a trace of inexplicable excitement and fervor!

These four people, their scheming was practically bulging on their faces! And yet they all put on a hypocritical act!

This is really... very interesting!

"Xiao Ye, it's like this, our family has been having some financial difficulties lately, as you can tell. Didn't we give you ten thousand yuan before?"

We're all family, so please help us out and return it to your uncle, okay?

"Still? Uncle doesn't want me to marry into the Song family?"

Zhou Yuanyao was taken aback: "No, no! I just wanted you to give it to my uncle. Once he gets back to work, you can have it! Is that okay?"

Yu Wen said weakly with a dark face, "Zhou Ye, you are also a member of the Zhou family. Look at what we eat tonight, corn porridge with pickled vegetables. Can you stand it?"

There are so many things going on at home right now, and your sister is missing. Please just consider this out of concern for your family!

Zhou Zijiao: "Zhou Ye, this is Dad's money, you have to pay it back!"

Zhou Zijun: "Hurry up, we're being nice to you, that's a favor! Don't be so pretentious!"

"I won't give it to you!" Zhou Ye said, emphasizing each word.

Zhou Yuanyao immediately stood up and pointed at Zhou Ye: "What did you say? You won't give it to me? We're family, why are you being so heartless?"

"Oh, I like it!"

Zhou also said with a smile!

The Zhou family members' faces immediately turned ugly, just like actors in a play, their faces changing every now and then, quite a sight!

Zhou Zijiao suddenly stood up and looked at Zhou Ye proudly: "Zhou Ye, don't be so smug! You can't take our family's money away!"

You'll regret this!

"Regret? What's that?" Zhou Ye looked at her with a sneer.
