Chapter 279 - 280: Painful and Torn...



“Alright, both of you stop arguing now.” Liu Ruyan interjected.

Liu Ruyan took the cheque and placed it in front of Xia Yangyang’s table. “Yangyang, don’t be mad. Weiwei is still young and naive, and she’s not too sharp either, but she means well. Since this money has caused you trouble, take it back. Even in the hardest times, Shengyuan never stooped as low as lacking 5 million.”

Although Liu Ruyan spoke softly, each sentence was laced with barbs.

By blaming it on youthful ignorance, she had easily dismissed Xia Weiwei’s absurd actions.

It seemed more about blaming her for standing by and doing nothing.

Xia Liangdong was also frustrated and confused.

The Xia Family used to be immensely wealthy. When did they ever fall so low as to argue over 5 million?

With a certain impatience, Xia Liangdong said: “Yangyang, take this money and return it to Ah Chen. After all, this is our family’s issue, we really shouldn’t bother him.”

Xia Yangyang quietly tucked the cheque away, then said: “Dad, I’ll figure out a way for the money you need, but this money… we really can’t keep it.”

Xia Liangdong seemed to sigh.

Xia Weiwei and Liu Ruyan exchanged a glance.

After dinner, Xia Liangdong and Liu Ruyan went to the study.

Xia Yangyang returned to her room.

She laid on her bed thinking about a lot of things.

Eventually, she got up and went to the study.

The door of the study was left ajar.

But the conversation inside was clearly heard.

“I don’t want to say anything, your daughter is high-spirited and proud, she certainly wouldn’t ask Gu Qichen for help, so I let Weiwei try to gauge the situation. 5 million might be a small figure, but at least it shows Ah Chen’s willingness to help. The only way out for Shengyuan now is to receive aid from the Gu Family, but your daughter, she made such a fuss because of 5 million, a person who doesn’t return home even once a month, actually came home chasing after this sum. I think asking her for help is harder than reaching the sky.”

Xia Liangdong’s voice also came from inside: “This matter shouldn’t have involved Yangyang from the start. If we let Yangyang ask for help, how will she ever be able to raise her head in front of her in-laws? Although our Xia Family might not be as prestigious as the Gu Family, Yangyang is still my precious daughter, not a money tree we can shake at our leisure.”

Liu Ruyan scoffed coldly: “Xia Liangdong, you sure do dote on this daughter of ours, considering every detail for her. But have you ever thought about our daughter, Weiwei? She’s 19 now, raised in the lap of luxury, with dreams of becoming a top star. If she has to face the company going bankrupt and the family being in debt now, what will she do for the rest of her life? How will her friends see her? Yangyang is already part of the Gu Family, covered by their halo, and your son-in-law dotes on her. What’s the harm of losing a bit of face? Does your eldest daughter’s half portion of face worth more than the future happiness and career of Weiwei?”

Xia Liangdong remained silent.

Liu Ruyan stormed out.

Luckily, the study was next to the turn in the stairs,

and Xia Yangyang was on the other side of the wall.

Liu Ruyan didn’t notice Xia Yangyang as she went straight back to her bedroom.

Xia Yangyang proceeded to sit down on the staircase.

Falling into a great inner conflict…

Xia Yangyang hoped that her marriage with Gu Qichen could be pure, and have nothing to do with business interests.

She also wished they wouldn’t have to rely on the Gu Family in their business.

Otherwise, she would feel forever indebted to Gu Qichen in their marital relationship, and they could never be equals.

But now, her family was really going through a crisis, and she couldn’t just watch from the sidelines.

After all, it was the company her father had founded himself, and her mother had put so much effort into managing it as well.

Xia Yangyang raked her fingers through her hair, torn and in pain…
