Chapter 329: Ye Family Hasn’t Crumbled

When Lu Yi reached the Ye family and saw how empty it was, he felt his heart wrenching.

Grandpa’s favorite vase, uncle’s favorite painting; they were all gone.

Only the empty furniture was placed there and the entire room looked bleak. It was heartbreaking.

Lu Yi walked over and sat down. At this moment, they were pretty speechless and it wasn’t that they didn’t want to think of a solution, there was no solution.

“We still lack $2 billion.” Ye Chuji lifted his head, “It might be impossible for us to get this $2 billion out and if we don’t, the land will be auctioned off and taken over by someone else. That person might be the Su family.”

The Su family will get billions of dollars like this without much effort and the Ye family will be gone, completely destroyed.

None of them wanted to throw in the towel and give up but they had thought of whatever there was to think of, went to whomever they could go to and did whatever they could do. But at the end of the day, what was waiting for them was the same fate. So what could they do, and what should they do?

Was there any use in holding on?

For those who always said that determination is the key to success, they were a pile of crap when it came to the Ye family’s predicament.

$2 billion, Lu Yi said the number aloud repeatedly.

It wasn’t a small amount.

Yep, it wasn’t a small amount. The Lu family could only gather $6 billion at best but what was the most troublesome was that they needed it urgently. Even if they sold everything they had now, they would only be able to raise $2 billion at most. But the Lu family will not go to such lengths like the Ye family. After all, Lu Jin wasn’t the only one in the Lu family. There was grandpa and the younger son in the Ye family; there were people who were part of the ye family and those that weren’t too.

As for the Lei family, they had already done everything that they could but they were only able to help as much. Even if one killed them, they wouldn’t be able to fork out $2 billion. Even if both the Lu and Lei family were to be activated, they wouldn’t be able to gather $2 billion in such a short time.

Of course, the bank will not release any amount at all too. If not, they wouldn’t have to be in this unfavorable situation.

“Mum, have you brought the card with you?”

Lu Yi asked Ye Shuyun.

Ye Shuyun blanked out for a while before she reacted.

“Card? What card?” She was still in a daze but like a block of wood, she took over her bag and placed it on her legs. She opened it and fished out her wallet before taking out the most impressive card at the end of it.

“What do you want with this?” That was right, she had forgotten that there was $100 million in this. But $100 million was a small sum now and it was barely enough.

Ye Shuyun sighed as she thought back to her father who was still in the hospital. She felt a tinge of sadness in her heart and was about to cry at that thought.

Lu Yi took over the card and spun it around his fingers. He placed it on the table before he took out his own wallet. He brought out another card from the wallet; this was his personal bank account.

“Uncle, there is $800 million here.”

He then pushed the card that Ye Shuyun had given him to Ye Chuji.

He placed his own bank card on top of that card.

“There is $1.2 billion in this card, I don’t know how much more there is inside?” There was some money in his card to begin with. He hadn’t counted it but there should be tens of millions of dollars inside too.

Ye Chuji was shocked and Ye Shuyun was speechless too. The rest were in a daze.

“Lu Yi, what did you say?”

Ye Shuyun quickly tugged at her son’s neck. In the end, her nails dug into his flesh.

He felt a little pain but he still endured it.

“How much did you say was inside?”

She squinted and asked again, “Isn’t there only $100 million inside?”

“It’s $800 million.”

Lu Yi held onto Ye SHuyun’s hand which was sweaty from nervousness. “Mum, The card that I gave you has $800 million inside, not $100 million. The other card has $1.2 billion.”

“Uncle, take it first.”

“But…” Ye Shuyun didn’t understand. “Lu Yi, where did you get so much money from?”

Her face went pale. Could it be that Lu Yi had been embezzling money these few years and had done something terrible?

“Mum, don’t think so much,” Lu Yi was very honest. “I told you I invested in a movie. The profits were $1.7 billion. I got $800 million from it. The other $1.2 billion was borrowed from someone else.”

“It is borrowed, we can use it for this emergency first. But we need to return it.”

“Okay, return. Of course we need to return it.”

Ye Shuyun stood up with a rush. “I am going to tell dad that this matter is resolved. We have money now and the Ye family isn’t destroyed, it hasn’t crumbled.” As she said this, she covered her face and started crying.

If the Ye family were to crumble, what was she going to do?

Her aging father would definitely not be able to handle it. His body is already like this and if he were to take another blow, he would really not have much time left.

“Shuyun, sit down first.”

Lu Jin held Ye Shuyun’s hand, “Dad hasn’t regained consciousness yet. He has been fretting and worrying recently and must be too tired. Let him rest a while more. If he knows the matter is solved when he wakes up, it will be fine.”

Ye Shuyun felt that it made sense as she sat back down. However, she was no longer as anxious. With the $2 billion that Lu Yi had brought with him, together with whatever the rest had gathered and the money the Ye family had gotten from selling everything, it was more than enough.

Ye Chuji didn’t stop too; he quickly brought the few cards to the bank. At first he was worried that Lu Yi was tricking him. Even though it was unlikely with Lu Yi’s character and no one would make such a joke when something as big as this has happened, he had learnt to be worried. He was afraid of any small changes.

Only when he checked at the bank and made sure that there was $2 billion did he completely relaxed.

He transferred the money on the spot to the various departments and it took less than a few minutes for the matter to be settled.

The Ye family’s airport started construction again. If they managed to get pass this ordeal, the airport would be more profitable than before. After all, the land that the country had compensated them with was much better than before. It was bigger and the land surrounding it belonged to the Ye family too. It would be prime land in the future.

The Ye family didn’t crumble, and it never will.

Ye Chuji wiped his face; his entire face was painted with fatigue and worried. At this moment, a glimmer of hope reappeared in his eyes. Just like the rising sun at daybreak, unlike a few days ago when it looked like the setting sun at dusk.

He strutted forward and straightened his back. Finally, a smile broke out on his face.

He smiled.

The construction of the Ye family’s airport was very quick and the news travelled quickly. The Su family received the news on the day the construction restarted.

“What did you say?” Old Su shouted as he stood up. His eyes almost blackened and he nearly fell. He quickly sat back down and shut his eyes. It took a while before he calmed down.

“Dad, the Ye family’s airport has restarted construction.”
