I’m Pregnant with the Villain’s Child - Chapter 278 – Have you ever seen someone giving a stranger 40 million yuan for no reason whatsoever? (3)

Chapter 278 – Have you ever seen someone giving a stranger 40 million yuan for no reason whatsoever? (3)

Ye Zhen stared at him and systematically persuaded and guided him, “Or how about this? I can help you if you return that 30 million yuan to my mother-in-law. I’ll treat it as if nothing happened. I’ll still be your daughter, and you’ll still be my dad. Of course, as your daughter, I can’t just stand by and do nothing about your debt. I’ll take responsibility for your debt. Ye Qing and I will each pay half. We’ll each be responsible for paying off 20 million yuan to the loan sharks. What do you think?”

Ye Zhenting was stunned. After carefully thinking about it, that meant he still had to pay Ye Zhen back 10 million yuan?

“Zhenzhen, you… Dad doesn’t like to hear these words you said…” He thought it over. “Okay! Dad can return the 30 million yuan to your mother-in-law. But there isn’t enough time to go looking for Ye Qing. Help Dad return this money first. Dad will come up with the money later to pay back the 30 million yuan to your mother-in-law. Does that work?”

“That won’t work. If you don’t pay back that money, how can I ask my mother-in-law for more money? On what basis can I ask her?” Ye Zhen emphasised once again, “Right now, we’re two people with no relationship. My mother-in-law will be unhappy if she finds out that I gave a stranger 40 million yuan!”

“Then can I write an IOU?”

Ye Zhen asked him, “Did my mother-in-law give you an IOU for that 30 million yuan?”

Ye Zhenting was completely speechless now.

He thought it over and couldn’t come up with anything. As he saw that the loan shark was walking over to him from the corner, his eyelids violently jumped. Angry out of anxiety, he angrily rebuked Ye Zhen, “You’re my daughter. What’s wrong with you paying off my debt? If you don’t agree, you won’t be able to leave!”

He finally shed his pretense at cordiality and showed his true colors.

Ye Zhen chuckled. “I said you kidnapped me, but you insisted on saying we’re chatting and drinking coffee. Does chatting include restricting my freedom to leave?”

Ye Zhenting was heavily panting. He clenched his hands and had an utterly discomfited look.

He abruptly slammed his fist on the table, got up, and pointed at Ye Zhen. Just as he was about to threaten her, the loan shark reached him, wrenched his right arm behind him, and slammed him down onto the table.

The side of Ye Zhenting’s face was harshly slammed onto the table, and his arm was twisted behind him. He didn’t dare to move. Feeling as if his bones were going to be fractured, Ye Zhenting shouted in pain.

“Wait, wait… What are you doing? Let go of me!”

Frightened by this unforeseen event, Ye Zhen hastily stood up. The stool fell to the side. She took several steps back.

The person, who was holding Ye Zhenting down, raised his head and smiled at Ye Zhen. “Mrs. Lu, are you okay?”

How can she be okay? But more importantly, what was up with this scene?

Seeing the confusion in Ye Zhen’s eyes, that person explained with a smile, “We’re not in the same group as your father. Don’t worry. I received a call from our boss. He ordered us to not let you suffer the slightest harm!”

While screaming in pain, Ye Zhenting heard these words. He immediately understood. He grabbed the short knife that he had hidden in his lower back. Enduring the pain, he turned around and viciously stabbed that man’s shoulder. He successfully got out of that man’s grip, rushed over to Ye Zhen, grabbed her arm, and placed his short knife across her neck.

Gritting his teeth, he looked at the people in front of him. “Very good, you guys worked together to trick me.”

Ye Zhenting seemed to have misunderstood something. He had a death grip on the knife. “Ye Zhen, I can’t believe you would collude with these loan sharks to kill your father!”

The knife felt bitterly cold on her neck.

Ye Zhen calmly said, “Calm down. We don’t know each other.”

“They don’t know you and they’re willing to disregard money to help you?!”

One after another, people in the room walked over.

Extremely anxious and irritable, the leader of the group said, “Ye Zhenting, as long as you put the knife down, we can talk about the money you owe us with favorable conditions.”
