"Can’t Young Master Gu lend Xiao Mo so money?" Mother Yu pleaded with Ye Xingbei, looking desperate. "Doesn’t Young Master Gu have plenty of money? Just lend us so for Xiao Mo..."
"Why should he?" Ye Xingbei frowned in disgust. "Just because my husband has money, he should lend it to you? You’re poor, so you’re automatically justified, is that it?"
"No... no... that’s not what I ant!" Mother Yu shook her head frantically. "It’s not us borrowing, it’s Xiao Mo borrowing. Isn’t Xiao Mo one of Young Master Gu’s subordinates? Let Young Master Gu lend Xiao Mo so money to help us out of this ergency. Xiao Mo will definitely repay Young Master Gu properly in the future!"
"You’re hilarious!" Ye Xingbei sneered, mocking her with a cold expression. "Your son-in-law owes money, and you’re asking Yu Mo to borrow money to pay off his debt? Why should he?"
"Because my parents raised Yu Mo!" Yu Mo’s sister, Yu Hua, suddenly spoke up. "He was born to my parents. Now that he’s successful, he can’t shirk his responsibility to support them!"
"What we’re discussing now isn’t about supporting your parents; it’s about paying off your husband’s debts, isn’t it?" Ye Xingbei stared at Yu Hua with contempt in her eyes. "You and your husband accused Yu Mo of intentional harm, got him sentenced to five years in prison, and now you’re asking him to pay your husband’s debts?"
Ye Xingbei sneered again. "Even if Yu Mo had money—which he doesn’t—we wouldn’t let him pay your husband’s debts. If he even dared to help you, we’d make sure he left the Gu Group with nothing, stripped of everything! We can’t afford to keep such a stupid subordinate around!"
"Why should my brother’s affairs be decided by you?" Yu Hua’s face turned red with anger. "This is our family’s business, and you have no right to interfere!"
"You’re wrong!" Ye Xingbei raised her chin and looked at her with a cold arrogance. "Yu Mo signed a fifty-year labor contract with my husband. He is now part of the Gu Family, and he’s no longer your brother—your relationship is severed. Right now, you are the outsider! His affairs are mine to decide, not yours!"
"You... you..." Yu Hua’s face flushed red with rage, her neck stiffening as she struggled to speak, but Mother Yu tugged her back.
Mother Yu pulled Yu Hua behind her and looked at Ye Xingbei pleadingly, saying, "Madam Gu, Xiao Mo may have severed ties with his sister, but he hasn’t severed ties with or his father, right? I beg you, Madam Gu, let Xiao Mo help his father and . Our house, our car, all our savings—everything has been forcibly seized by the bank. Now we’re holess and temporarily living with relatives. We’re truly left with no options, so we had no choice but to co to Xiao Mo for help. Madam Gu, please help us..."
"I’ve already told you, Yu Mo is currently on a work trip abroad, and I can’t help you," Ye Xingbei said coldly, looking at her indifferently. "You reap what you sow. When your daughter and son-in-law accused Yu Mo of intentional harm, why didn’t I see you pleading on Yu Mo’s behalf? Now that you’re desperate, you rember him?"
Ye Xingbei let out a mocking "heh" and turned to Gu Cheng. "Have you called the police yet?"
Gu Cheng nodded. "Yes, Madam. You said to give them one minute, and if they didn’t leave within a minute, we’d call the police. The minute has passed, so I’ve already called them."
Ye Xingbei nodded slightly before looking at Mother Yu and Yu Hua. "You heard that, didn’t you? The police should be arriving shortly. Are you still not leaving?"
"You’re forcing us to our deaths!" Mother Yu suddenly let out a wailing cry, bursting into loud sobs, while shouting, "Xiao Mo! Xiao Mo! Co out and see your parents!"
