After returning home, Mr. Ke ran upstairs angrily.
Ke's mother, who was applying a facial mask in the hall, saw him, looking drunk and grim, and couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Why are you back so early today? Didn't you say you were going on a business trip?"
But Father Ke had no intention of replying to her. He just asked directly: "Where is that stinky girl?"
"You're talking about Leilei. She's resting upstairs."
As soon as Mrs. Ke finished speaking, Father Ke rushed forward in two steps.
This action frightened Ke's mother, who immediately realized that something was wrong and stepped forward to stop him, "What are you going to do!"
Father Ke's face turned pale, his eyes red from drinking, and he shouted angrily, "I'm going to beat her to death!"
Mrs. Ke mistakenly thought he was drunk and frowned, "Why are you acting so crazy when you're fine?"
Father Ke immediately took out his cell phone and slapped it in her hand, "Take a good look at what your precious daughter has done!"
Ke's mother didn't understand what was going on, so she could only open the Weibo post to take a look.
Then he saw his daughter hanging on the window.
His face changed immediately.
Only then did she fully understand what they meant by Ke Lei's suicide by jumping off a building.
Is this girl sick?
It’s such a big deal!
Although she kept saying that she didn't want to live anymore, at most she just lay by the window. Who would really hang half of their body outside the window like her?
If that girl hadn't pulled her back in time, this little girl would have been dead.
No wonder after returning home she still hid in her room in a daze, not even eating dinner.
But then Mrs. Ke thought again, the calligraphy and painting was worth 4 billion, so she should be scared.
Otherwise, who knows how big a mistake you will make in the future.
"Don't worry, she didn't really commit suicide. She was just pretending because of the calligraphy and painting." Ke's mother said nonchalantly.
When Mr. Ke heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly. "What calligraphy and painting?"
"I don't know what kind of calligraphy or painting it was, but she accidentally damaged one in the museum, and they asked her to pay for it, so she had no choice but to make a scene. They said it was worth 4 billion, but fortunately..."
Before Mrs. Ke could finish her words, she heard Mr. Ke's furious roar, "Four billion?!"
As he said this, he pulled out the belt from around his waist.
"This damn girl, I must beat her to death today!"
Seeing him like that, Ke's mother could only quickly stop him, "She's already scared, and there's still room for maneuver in this matter. Just let her go..."
Seeing her protective attitude, Mr. Ke grew even more furious. He immediately said excitedly, "If I let her go, who will let me go?! Do you know that because of this incident, all kinds of people from the company are coming to inquire about it. They're ostensibly concerned about your daughter, but they're actually asking about the company's operations!"
Ke's mother was very puzzled, "What does this have to do with Lei Lei!"
"You fucking damaged a painting in someone's museum, and the debt is four billion. Of course they're going to come and ask about it!"
After saying this, Mr. Ke pushed the man away angrily and rushed upstairs.
When he reached the door, he kicked it open, walked in quickly, lifted Ke Lei's quilt, and slapped her with his belt, "You still have the nerve to sleep? Get up!!!"
Ke Lei, who had just fallen asleep with great difficulty, was beaten so hard that she jumped out of bed screaming.
"ah--!!!"
"You damn girl, you caused me to lose 4 billion, and you even threatened to jump off the building in public. You've made me lose all my fucking face!" Father Ke was already a little drunk, and was called back in the middle of the night. He was in a very bad mood, and now that he knew about this, his angry subordinates showed no mercy.
“Snap—”
He whipped him with the belt again.
Ke Lei was beaten so hard that she jumped around on the bed.
Seeing this, Ke's father became even angrier. "You still dare to hide from me? Try hiding from me once, and I'll beat you to death today. I don't believe in Ke!"
After seeing this, Ke's mother came in and hurried forward to stop him, "What are you doing! She's your own daughter!"
Father Ke's eyes were filled with rage as he shouted, "If I had known I'd give birth to something like this, I might as well have strangled myself to death in the toilet! Four billion, even if I sold the whole company, I still wouldn't be able to pay back four billion!"
Seeing him about to hit her with the belt again, Ke's mother quickly explained, "The four billion may not be compensated!"
Mr. Ke paused, "Why?"
He didn't believe that the people at the museum would be so kind as to directly forgive their 4 billion debt.
"Because I told you, I have no money but I have my life, and they can't do anything to me." After saying that, Ke's mother took the opportunity to step forward, snatch the belt from his hand, and threw it out the door.
After hearing this, Mr. Ke became even more furious and wanted to slap her. "You silly woman, have you lost your brain because you spend so much time at the beauty salon? Do you think you can solve this problem by throwing a tantrum at home? This is the Kyoto Museum! If there is no solution, our whole family will go to jail!"
Ke's mother could only say again, "It's not a painting or calligraphy from the Kyoto Museum. It's from a student's private collection at their school. They're just borrowing space from the museum for the exhibition."
"Private collection?" Father Ke's brows knitted together in disbelief. "Who's so foolish as to exhibit artifacts worth four billion?!"
Mother Ke shook her head. "How would I know that?"
Father Ke quickly turned his head to look at the person on the bed and asked, "Who is it?!"
Ke Lei was beaten so badly that she huddled in a corner, sobbing and crying, "It's...Jane...Jane Ci..."
Jane Ci?
Father Ke had been drinking and couldn't remember anything at all, so he asked more and more impatiently: "Who is she? What does her family do?"
Ke Lei was afraid of being beaten again, so she ignored her surprise and said hurriedly, "I heard that she is the eldest daughter of the Tang Group..."
When Mr. Ke heard about the Tang Corporation, his eyelids jumped, "Jian Guoxing's daughter?!"
Upon hearing the name, Ke's mother became excited. "Jian Guoxing? Don't you know him? Didn't you take photos of him during the last project?"
Father Ke immediately glared at her and said, "Shut up!"
Mother Ke couldn't contain her excitement and whispered, "If it's him, then it'll be easy. Wouldn't it be better to just let him waive the 4 billion?"
"You think four billion is forty dollars? I'll just waive it." Mr. Ke thought for a moment, then made a choice between four billion and losing a client. "I can only give it a try. If it doesn't work, you'd better be prepared to let your daughter go to jail."
After saying that, he turned around and left with a sullen face.
