YM778.TV Chapter 37
She didn’t care about this house. However, she would not give her things away for free. She was willing to make a promise to that wealthy Ye family because no matter what happened in the middle, the fact that she had been raised by them for so many years was undeniable. But she had nothing to do with this one, so she would not gift anything to them.
“What do you want from me?” After a moment of silence, Ye Shen said, “You won’t give me a house for free, will you?”
Before he came here, he had indeed wanted to take the house as his own. However, he had to cast this thought aside after all the things Ye Leng’an had done and said today. It could even be said that Ye Leng’an set up a showdown with him. She said that she could give this house to him, which made him suspect that there was some conspiracy behind this.
“Ha-ha, this world is very fair.” Ye Leng’an said with a smile, “You should know the principle of equivalent exchange, right? As long as you can give me what I want, there’s no reason why I can’t give the house to you as compensation.”
“Are you serious?” Before Ye Shen spoke, Li Zhaohui could not contain herself. “Are you going to transfer the ownership of this house to us?”
At this moment, Li Zhaohui gazed at Ye Leng’an with an eager shine in her eyes. Her greed and ambition were completely exposed.
“That depends on the things you can offer me!” Ye Leng’an continued, “You should know very well what I want to know. As long as your answer can satisfy me, the house can be registered under your name today.”
“Hubby,” Li Zhaohui whispered into Ye Shen’s ear, “Ye Leng’an seems to know a lot of things. She is a person of determination and must have already confirmed that she’s not our daughter. She takes such an aggressive posture that she may investigate it herself even if we don’t tell her. And if she finds out anything, we won’t have any bargaining chips left.”
No one would complain about having too many houses. Anyway, she had to get this house today.
Ye Shen also appeared to wobble, but then he looked extremely hesitant as if he thought of something.
Li Zhaohui knew what was going on in Ye Shen’s mind. She continued, “I know that you want to be more careful, but that person hasn’t contacted us for so long. Perhaps she has already forgotten it. Do you insist on keeping it and letting the chance slip through your fingers? Even if you don’t look out for yourself, you have to look out for Pingping! He has to get married and have children in the future! With this house, it will be easier for him to have a girlfriend! Besides, we can rent this house out now and have more income every month in the future.”
“Dad and mom, what are you talking about?” Ye Ping urged, “Tell her what she wants to know! This is a house, not some cabbage on the roadside.”
He didn’t know what was going on, but he clearly remembered that before he came, his parents had said that this house would be his. Although he was young, he knew very well about the importance of a house.
At the urging of his wife and son, the countenance of Ye Zhong’s face began to change. Finally, as if he had made a decision, he looked at Ye Leng’an and asked, “Tell me, how did you know that you were not our biological daughter?”
“You don’t need to know that.” Ye Leng’an said indifferently, “You only need to tell me what you know. Don’t forget, I’m the one who’s giving you the chips now.”
Ye Shen gritted his teeth and said, “How do I know if you’ll keep your promise and give me the house after I tell you?”
“You can choose not to believe me.” Ye Leng’an didn’t make any promises. “You can leave now. However, after you leave, I’ll sell this house! By the time you want to tell me, the money will probably be used up! After all, you know I was a big spender in the past.”
“We’ll tell you everything.” Li Zhaohui was anxious. She tugged at Ye Shen’s sleeves and urged, “Hubby, tell her now!”
“All right then,” Ye Shen finally spoke up. “I will tell you everything I know, but you have to keep your promise. You will transfer the ownership of the house later.”
“Sure.” Ye Leng’an nodded. “However, let me remind you. Don’t try to lie to me, otherwise, even if I give you the house today, I’ll have a way to get it back tomorrow. Moreover, I’ll charge interest when the time comes.”
