Chapter 49: The Parents' Stern Lesson
Mom, don't listen to their nonsense, I just...
Before Ye Feng could finish, a sharp slap landed on his face. Liu Mei, tears in her eyes, looked at him incredulously. Xiao Feng, there's no one else here. Tell me, what did you do with that 80,000 yuan?
Ye Feng struggled to speak, knowing he couldn't avoid the truth any longer. I... I invested it.
Did you make any profit?
I lost it... lost all of it, Ye Feng choked out.
All 80,000?
There's a few thousand left.
So, when you said you borrowed a few thousand for herbs before, it was actually for the 80,000 yuan you borrowed? Liu Mei narrowed her eyes.
Ye Feng nodded, unable to articulate his usual defenses in front of his mother.
What kind of investment made you lost you so much?
I... hoarded game equipment, Ye Feng mumbled.
Game equipment? Did you use 80,000 yuan for game equipment? Liu Mei was in disbelief.
Another slap struck Ye Feng's face.
We'll discuss this with your father when we get home. Now, pack up and let's go. Liu Mei was almost fainting with anger. Ye Feng didn't dare resist, fearing his actions might prematurely bring about the illness from his previous life.
From the other side of the glass, Lin Xiaowan pulled Su Lin's attention to Ye Feng's situation. Su Lin... Ye Feng's mother slapped him.
Su Lin nodded, I see it, Xiaowan.
Ye Feng's usual arrogance is gone. It's so satisfying to see. It's a pity Xiaoyu isn't here; she'd be thrilled, Lin Xiaowan said with a smile.
Su Lin agreed, Xiaoyu is still at the hospital with her dad. Xiaowan, I didn't know you had such a devilish side. After this, Ye Feng cant just walk away unscathed.
What happened, wife? Why the urgency to call me home? Is business so good that you need help? Ye Weimin asked as he arrived.
Liu Mei, tears streaming down, pointed at Ye Feng and cried out, Ask your precious son what he did. Let him tell you.
Sensing the seriousness of the situation, Ye Weimin turned to Ye Feng, What happened?
I I dont know how to say it, Ye Feng stammered, his usual bravado gone in front of his father.
Liu Mei broke down, Do you know what your son did? He tricked Xiao Yu from the Xia family out of the 80,000 yuan they needed for a kidney transplant. Eighty thousand! Thats more than our two years salary. Your son
Ye Weimin was stunned. He couldnt believe his son had committed such an act.
It wasnt trickery, I borrowed it, Ye Feng insisted, trying to justify himself.
You still argue? Your classmates said you had no intention of returning it without a threat of police involvement. You need to discipline your son, Ye Weimin. Hes already swindling money at such a young age. What will he become when he grows up?
Ye Weimin turned to his son, So, the 100,000 yuan you talked about for investing in stocks was a lie? The inside information was also fake? You used it to pay back the borrowed money, didnt you?
I
Answer me, yes or no! Ye Weimin roared.
Yes
Still making excuses now? You show no remorse! Ye Weimin exclaimed.
Please, Dad, I
Another slap followed.
Old Ye, dont use your hand, use the rolling pin, Liu Mei suggested, producing the household implement.
Ye Feng panicked as his father took the rolling pin, Dad Dad
Aow~!!! came Ye Fengs cry of pain.
