Their company called to look for him? Lin Ye frowned and put down his chopsticks.
"You guys eat first, I'm going to answer a phone call."
Gu Dequan handed the phone to him, returned to the table and greeted everyone.
"Eat it quickly, eat it while it's hot..."
Su Man was a little worried and looked at Lin Ye.
Lin Ye smiled at her and then picked up the receiver.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Lin Ye, it's me, Tian Da."
"Oh no! The bank is here to seal up our company."
"They said we couldn't pay back the loan, so they had to use the company's assets to pay off the debt."
"I took a lot of effort to find you. Look, what should I do?"
Now the company gate has been sealed and all the people working inside have been kicked out.
If the bank comes to liquidate, the company's land and the houses that have been built will have to be mortgaged.
By then, they will not only be in debt, but will also lose their company.
Lin Ye turned his back so that the people at the table wouldn't see his slightly anxious expression.
"What's going on? Isn't it due in a month?"
"I've submitted my information to Metrobank, and I should have a result in the next few days."
In theory, once the loan from Metrobank comes through, this loan can be added to the balance.
But now, it is against the rules for the banks here to collect the payment in advance.
Tian Da was so anxious that sweat broke out on his head and he gritted his teeth.
"It was intentional. I also told you it's not time to pay back the money yet."
"But the bank said it would be closed for a week so they could slowly liquidate the funds."
"Isn't this clearly a plan to bankrupt us?"
If a good company is closed for a week, and the news gets out, who will believe that your company is still closed?
When suppliers come knocking on our door, we will have no chance of recovery.
Lin Ye pinched his brows and said, "Just stay calm first, I'll be there."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Ye looked at Gu Dequan and the others with an apologetic look on his face.
"Second Grandpa, Second Grandma, I'm so sorry, but something urgent happened at the company, so I have to go over there first."
Everyone knows that Lin Ye’s company is busy and will not hold him back at this time.
"Okay, go quickly."
Lin Ye left the car keys and gave Su Man some instructions.
"You'll drive back with Mom and the others later, okay?"
Su Man held Lin Ye's hand and spoke gently.
"Honey, be careful. Mom, the kids, and I are waiting for you at home."
As long as he had these words, Lin Ye would be fine no matter how great the difficulties he encountered.
We all have the courage to keep going.
"good!"
In front of so many people, Lin Ye didn't want to kiss Su Man, so he could only shake her hand tightly, turned around and strode out of the Gu family.
Lin Ye's departure did not affect the atmosphere at the dinner table. The elderly couple Gu Dequan and Hu Hongping were very enthusiastic.
He asked Sun Xiaojing, Su Man and the others to eat quickly, and with Gu Jiangang making jokes, the whole party was quite happy.
After finishing the meal, the old couple cleared the dishes and went to wash them.
Su Man and Gu Tianxing held Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan who had fallen asleep, and chatted with Sun Xiaojing in the living room.
During this period, Sun Xiaojing also asked about the situation of Lin Ye Company.
Su Man said that she was not quite sure and evaded the question.
She didn't like talking about Lin Ye's company with others. Fortunately, Sun Xiaojing seemed to be just curious and asked casually, and didn't continue the topic.
I waited until the old couple finished washing the dishes before getting up to say goodbye.
The old couple saw Su Man and the others out, watched the car drive away, then waved goodbye and went into the house.
As soon as they entered the house, the old couple noticed something was wrong.
Sun Xiaojing in the living room had red eyes, and Gu Jiangang was scratching his ears and cheeks, feeling a little helpless.
"Oh, Jingjing, I really didn't mean that."
"That's right, that's right..."
Sun Xiaojing wiped her face and stood up carrying her small leather bag.
"It's okay, I know I don't deserve it."
With red eyes, she walked up to Gu Dequan and Hu Hongping and bowed.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'm going back first."
"I am particularly happy today because your hospitality has made me feel like home after a long time."
"If, I mean if, Gangzi and I really aren't meant to be."
"Don't blame Gangzi, it's me who's not good enough..."
Before she could finish her words, Sun Xiaojing covered her face, sobbed, and ran out the door.
"Xiaojing, Xiaojing?"
Hu Hongping chased after him worriedly, her face full of anxiety.
"Gangzi, you little brat, weren't you fine just now? What happened?"
Gu Dequan was annoyed and slapped Gu Jiangang.
"You little bastard, you don't want a good partner, but you have to make trouble, right?"
"What made Xiaojing angry? Why don't you chase her back?"
Gu Jiangang was so upset that he stamped his feet.
"I, I'm going to find Xiaojing..."
He was also worried that something might happen to Sun Xiaojing so late at night.
He quickly rode his family's 28-inch bicycle and chased out of the family compound.
As I passed the entrance of a dark alley, I heard suppressed crying coming from behind the bushes.
The crying sounded sobbing, and Gu Jiangang's heart also twitched with it.
He jumped out of the car so quickly that he didn't even bother to stop it.
He walked a few steps to the bushes, pulled Sun Xiaojing up and held her in his arms.
"Oh, Jingjing, please stop crying, okay?"
"I really don't mean that. Believe me, even if I dislike myself, I would never dislike you!"
"Don't you see, our family likes you so much?"
Sun Xiaojing tried hard to push Gu Jiangang away, but her hands seemed soft and could not move him.
She sobbed and raised her head, looking at Gu Jiangang with red eyes.
"I don't want a wedding, I don't want a gift money, I just want a diamond ring, can't I?"
"You said your family is in financial difficulty, but are you really so poor that you can't even afford a diamond ring?"
Gu Jiangang looked helpless and could only tell him about their family situation.
"Our family isn't in financial difficulty. It's just that something happened to Lin Ye's company, and our family pooled their money and lent it to him, right?"
"I've told you before that Lin Ye suffered a lot as a child."
"Our family is all heartbroken! So when he encountered difficulties, we wanted to help him if we could."
"You've seen it too. Lin Ye is a capable man."
"He will pay it back, but it will take some time."
"As his brother, I just lent him money and now I'm asking him to pay it back? Isn't that a bad idea?"
I was just talking about marriage with Sun Xiaojing at home. Sun Xiaojing said she didn't want anything but a diamond ring.
That had been her dream since she was a child, and as her partner, Gu Jiangang certainly wanted to agree.
But there is no place to buy diamond rings in the capital, so you have to go to the port city to buy them.
Besides, the price is not cheap.
Now that all the family savings have been given to Lin Ye, where is the money left to buy a diamond ring?
What Gu Jiangang meant was that he should buy a gold ring first as a token of his appreciation.
After Lin Ye paid back the money, he immediately took Sun Xiaojing to Gangcheng to buy a diamond ring.
But Sun Xiaojing refused, saying that the Gu family looked down on her and that was why they refused to give her even this little money.
