Chapter 26 How long are you going to keep using this old trick of spreading rumors?
Ye's mother's words directly revealed the relationship between the Ye family and Ye Jinmo.
Miss Zhong’s adoptive parents are the great benefactors of the Zhong family!
The sound was neither loud nor soft, just enough for people around to hear.
Everyone cast eager eyes towards the Ye family, and Ye's mother enjoyed their envy.
Ye's father's originally silent heart suddenly became happy.
With this favor, wouldn’t the wealthy families in the imperial capital be eager to cooperate with the Ye family?
When he thought about his company's upcoming advancement, Father Ye couldn't help but straighten his chest.
Little did they know that this scene fell into the eyes of Zhong Shaoqing and Ji Sichen, and both of them had dark faces.
How could someone who has been in the business world for so long not be able to understand what they are thinking?
To repay a favor is to force the Zhong family to give benefits!
Mr. Zhong remained calm, and glanced at the three people in the audience. His words were full of alienation and politeness: "So you are Momo's adoptive parents. Thank you for your hard work over the years."
Then, he raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhong Shaoqing who was not far away, and said, "Shaoqing, please invite the three of you upstairs and entertain you properly. The Ye family raised Momo, and we can't lose our manners."
As soon as these words came out, Ye's father became anxious. If this happened upstairs, how could they gain benefits by leveraging the guests' opinions?
Seeing Zhong Shaoqing coming towards them, Ye's father made up his mind and said hurriedly, "Mr. Zhong, what are you talking about? Jinmo is our daughter whom we have raised for 16 years and we have a deep relationship with her. I know you agreed to the cooperation between the Ye family and Zhongsheng Group for Jinmo's sake. There may be some misunderstandings between the two companies recently. Please forgive us for what we did wrong."
This was said cleverly. He knew that in such a situation he could not directly say that the Zhong family had unilaterally breached the contract, which would have lost face for the Zhong family. So a simple hint was enough to make others imagine.
As expected, the eyes of the people around were filled with curiosity and inquiry, and many of them were eager to try.
Regardless of whether the Ye family can reconnect with Zhongsheng Group today, after the banquet is over, there will definitely be many people who will cooperate with the Ye family for the sake of the Zhong family's face.
Ye's father's goal is to tie the Ye family and the Zhong family together.
Mr. Zhong could sense that his old father was speaking with more meaning, but he didn't know why.
Just as he was about to ask, he saw his eldest son walking over with a sullen face.
"Boss Ye is really a joker. The cooperation between Zhong Sheng and your company was cancelled half a month ago. As for the reason, I believe you three know it."
He had long disliked the Ye family and was originally planning to kick them out, but he didn't have the chance.
Thinking back to the first time he met his beloved sister and how shabby her clothes were, he guessed that she must not be living well.
Not to mention that later in Yunjin, the three of them teamed up to bully Jinmo, causing Jinmo to be injured.
Based on this alone, the Ye family has no chance of making a comeback!
Father Ye didn't expect Zhong Shaoqing to be so disrespectful to them. He felt resentful in his heart, but he still kept a smile on his face: "Boss Zhong, did you misunderstand something?"
He didn't want to offend the young master openly. Zhong Sheng Group is now basically controlled by Zhong Shaoqing. Zhong's father and Mr. Zhong are both on the board of directors and rarely interfere with the company's development.
Seeing that Zhong Shaoqing said nothing, Zhong's father looked at Ye Jinmo on the stage helplessly: "Jinmo, please say something for your father!"
Hearing this, Father Zhong quickly stepped forward, stood in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Jinmo is my daughter!"
Mother Ye mustered up her courage, and regardless of the anger on Father Zhong's face, she stretched her neck and raised her voice by eight octaves: "Jinmo, we in the Ye family treat you as our own daughter, why don't you say something!"
In one sentence, Ye Jinmo was pushed into a dilemma.
The grace of giving birth is not as good as the grace of raising. If she shows indifference and alienation towards the Ye family today, her reputation will surely be tarnished in the entire upper class circle before tonight.
Who would look down on someone who returns to the richest family and forgets about her parents who raised her?
Sensing the sympathy of the people around her, Ye Shuran changed her expression in time, her eyes slightly red, tears seemed to fall, her face full of sorrow: "Sister, your parents raised you as their own daughter, how could you just recognize your biological parents and abandon them?"
She had a pure look, and in the white dress she was wearing, she looked very pitiful.
Scanning the faces of the crowd, she continued to sob, "I know that my parents may be a little distant from you after they found me, but they are also trying to make up for their biological daughter. These days, in order to make you feel better, mom and I have been caring about you. Sister, just think of it as... just think of it as your sister begging you to speak up for the Ye family who has raised you for sixteen years!"
Mother Ye also cried, "Yes, Jinmo, is it because you don't want others to know that you were adopted by a small family like us that you asked the Zhong family to break off cooperation and want the Ye family to go bankrupt and leave the capital? But we are also your relatives, you can't... can't be so heartless..."
The two people's crying soon attracted the guests' whispers.
"Could it be that she is unwilling to help because she despises the fact that she was adopted and has a dark history?"
"It's possible. It's been sixteen years. Isn't she ungrateful? Besides, it only takes a few words for the Zhong family to help the Ye family..."
"I think what you said is wrong. The Ye family must have done something to anger Miss Zhong..."
There were all kinds of comments, and most of the guests did not dare to get agitated. Even if Ye Jinmo did not help the Ye family, the fact that she was the eldest daughter of the Zhong family would not change, and she could not offend the Zhong family by eating melons.
The criticism behind it is another matter.
Ye Jinmo didn't say anything, turned around, lifted her skirt and walked down the stairs step by step.
Everyone made way, looking forward to what would happen next.
Ji Sichen said nothing and slowly walked to a place not far behind her.
Ye Shuran felt the change in the aura. She looked up at the girl, and for some reason, fear rose in her heart.
"Heartless?" Ye Jinmo looked down at her with a cold expression and a hint of sarcasm. Then she turned her gaze to Ye's mother, "Madam Ye, didn't you say that as long as I signed the IOU for 500,000, I would no longer be in the Ye family?"
One word can cause a thousand ripples.
Everyone looked confused, what IOU?
"What IOU? I don't know!" Ye's mother took a few steps back, her voice shaking.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ye's father hurriedly stepped forward, hunched over, with a sad face: "Jinmo, is this the reason you hate the Ye family? At that time, your mother...adoptive mother was also confused, she didn't mean that. Although you signed, we didn't ask you to really pay back the money, right?"
"Yes, sister, don't be angry," Ye Shuran jumped out and took her hand affectionately, "I apologize to you on their behalf. Although the Ye family is a small family and cannot be compared with the Zhong family, it is a fact that they adopted you. Besides, the Ye family is not that bad, so this is not your black history..."
The next second, "pop".
A loud and crisp slap hit her face.
She looked at the person in front of her in disbelief.
Ye Jinmo actually hit her in such an occasion?
"How long are you going to use this old trick of spreading rumors?"
