Chapter 195 Finding Wealth in Danger
The only one Yu Zhi can count on in the end is the Yu family. If the Yu family can get better, he will be able to gain a firm foothold in the Meng family.
Yu Chengkun was still making his own plans, not knowing that Yu Zhi didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.
Meng Yingnian said in a deep voice, "Mr. Yu, Zhizhi and I still have to go upstairs to pay our respects first. If you have anything to say, please wait until we come down."
Yu Chengkun nodded yes repeatedly, and tactfully did not follow, but he did not leave either.
"What's there to talk to him about?" Yu Zhi felt sick when he saw Yu Chengkun's hypocritical face.
Yu Zhi no longer had any fatherly feelings towards him.
Even if he really owed Yu Chengkun, it was written off the moment he decided to sell himself.
"Don't you want to go back to the Yu family?" Yu Zhi was about to say no, but then he heard Meng Yingnian say, "You should have left something there, right?"
All Yu Zhi took away were his cell phone, tablet and ID card. Although he didn't have many things at the Yu family, he did have some, and there were some things he wanted to take away.
Meng Yingnian knew that Yu Zhi had lived in the Yu family for many years, so it was impossible that he didn't have anything to take away. Even if he didn't have anything, he still had his mother's belongings.
Yu Zhi really didn't want to go back to the Yu family, but there was an important thing left there.
Meng Yingnian noticed Yu Zhi's hesitation and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Zhizhi. I will go with you this time."
If going back there would bring pain to Yu Zhi, then Meng Yingnian would accompany him to eliminate that pain.
"it is good."
As they were talking, they had already arrived at Ye Qiu's grave.
Yu Zhi and Meng Yingnian stopped talking and turned their gaze to the tombstone in front of them.
Place the bouquets on the left and right sides of the tombstone, one in front and one behind.
Yu Zhi threw aside the bouquet of yellow and white chrysanthemums that Yu Chengkun had placed there and ignored it.
The photo on the tombstone was taken shortly after Ye Qiu got married. He was still very young at that time, and Yu Zhi looked very similar to his mother.
It’s just that Ye Qiu has a stronger mixed-race look. Their eyes are equally clear, but they have two completely different temperaments.
Ye Qiu smiled with the corners of her mouth raised, looking very gentle, and her delicate face was so beautiful that one could feel her beauty even through the photo.
In fact, Ye Qiu was also very young when she died, but in the photo she did not look badly tortured by illness.
"Mom." Yu Zhi choked in his throat, cleared his throat and continued: "I didn't come alone this year, this is Meng Yingnian." Yu Zhi held Meng Yingnian's hand.
"We are already married. He likes me and I like him too. I will be with him well in the future. You can rest assured."
"I am very happy now. I went to the university of my dreams and have a happy family."
Yu Zhi talked a lot, explaining almost everything that had happened in the past six months.
He wanted to cry at first, but then he spoke more and more fluently. He didn't want his mother to see him crying.
After Yu Zhi finished speaking, Meng Yingnian slowly spoke: "Mom, I am Meng Yingnian, Yu Zhi's husband."
"I love him very much, just as you love him, and I promise you that I will always protect him, love him, be his family, and take good care of him."
Meng Yingnian didn't say much, but every word he said came from the bottom of his heart.
A gust of wind blew, brushing against Yu Zhi and Meng Yingnian's cheeks. The petals of the flowers in front of the tombstone wanted to bring these words to that person.
Meng Yingnian felt Yu Zhi's resistance to Yu Chengkun, and since landing in the Shanghai Stock Exchange yesterday, Yu Zhi's mood has been very tense and he has not relaxed at all.
Maybe Shanghai is not a place worth returning to for Yu Zhi, but Yu Zhi's mother is here.
Meng Yingnian: "Zhizhi, how about moving Mom's grave to the north of Beijing? That way, you can visit her whenever you want, and you don't have to worry about strangers disturbing her peace."
"You can let me arrange all these things, and we will go to worship mother after it is done."
Meng Yingnian adapted well to his identity and called her "Mom" more fluently than Yu Zhi.
Generally speaking, people don't want to disturb their ancestors when they move their graves, but compared to this, Yu Zhi felt that Yu Chengkun's presence was even more annoying.
Yu Zhi said without thinking: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Meng Yingnian gave Yu Zhi a reassuring look: "Then say goodbye to mom. We'll see you in Beijing next time."
The two held hands and bowed deeply to Ye Qiu, then slowly walked down the mountain.
Meng Yingnian had no problem walking up a few stairs with a cane, as long as he didn't climb the stairs to a high floor.
They walked down the mountain and saw Yu Chengkun still waiting there.
Seeing them coming down, Yu Chengkun hurried forward and said, "Mr. Meng, I wonder if you have time later. If you do, why not come to my house and chat?"
Meng Yingnian took this opportunity to speak: "Zhizhi also needs to go back to get something, let's go."
"Okay, okay, none of us touched his things, and my car is parked at the door." No matter what the reason was, Yu Chengkun was 100% willing for Meng Yingnian to go to the Yu family.
Meng Yingnian: "We drove here ourselves."
Meng Yingnian knew without asking that Yu Zhi definitely didn't want to go in the same car with Yu Chengkun.
"Okay, then Mr. Meng, please follow my car and I'll lead the way."
Yu Chengkun is not young anymore, and he calls Meng Yingnian "you" all the time.
Although he considered himself Meng Yingnian's father-in-law, he did not dare to act pretentiously in front of Meng Yingnian.
Even though he was reluctant, Yu Zhi still followed Meng Yingnian back to the Yu family.
It felt like a lifetime ago when he came back. Yu Zhi walked to the door and was reluctant to step in. Meng Yingnian noticed Yu Zhi's resistance and held his hand.
Yu Zhi came back to his senses and stepped into the place where he had lived for more than ten years.
Wang Jiamin had been waiting at the door since early morning. She was no longer sarcastic and looked at Yu Zhi and the others with a smile on her face.
Yu Zhi felt that this was a huge stage where everyone knew what the other person was like inside, but they still had to pretend to be submissive.
As they walked into the door, they saw the familiar furnishings. Yu Chengkun first pulled Yu Zhi and Meng Yingnian to sit in the living room.
Yu Zhi knew very well that Yu Chengkun was a man who would not do anything without profit. Meeting him in the cemetery today must mean that he had some purpose.
He was not in a hurry to go upstairs to get things, as he wanted to see what Yu Chengkun was trying to do.
Yu Chengkun really lived up to Yu Zhi's expectations. He couldn't help but reveal his true colors before even a few words of greeting.
"Mr. Meng, I made a small profit on a project with a friend last year. This time, we've decided to invest even more. Are you interested?"
"Of course, you will definitely take the lion's share, and we will just follow you and have a little soup."
"It only takes this amount." Yu Chengkun gestured with his hands and continued, "It is expected to earn three times as much."
Yu Zhi really underestimated Yu Chengkun. He originally asked for 500 million yuan, and now he asked for 4 billion yuan.
Even a lion wouldn't ask for a fortune like him. Besides, with his intelligence, if he could make money, he would have done it long ago. Why would he have to wait until now?
Meng Yingnian knew about the project that Yu Chengkun mentioned. He had always sent people to keep an eye on Yu Chengkun's movements. Yu Chengkun was busy making money from the project and there was no special movement.
It's just that the money earned is a bit inflated. It's the most classic "pig killing scam". Meng Yingnian would not fall for this kind of trick when he was a teenager and just started.
Yu Chengkun is truly a good-for-nothing and a drunkard.
Meng Yingnian naturally wouldn't be so kind as to remind him. Let him dream for a while longer, and by then he wouldn't be able to harass Yu Zhi again without Meng Yingnian having to do anything himself.
Yu Chengkun was being targeted and set up. He was originally heavily in debt, but later he suddenly showed off his wealth in a high-profile manner. Someone found out through indirect means that Yu Chengkun had a lot of cash in his hands.
They got together with a few people, including acquaintances, to flatter him, and then began to encourage him to make a lot of money together.
People like Yu Chengkun are the most vain. At first, he was cautious and only invested a small amount, but ended up making a fortune.
They suddenly lost their vigilance and invested most of the money they had. When they saw Yu Chengkun take out so much money, they immediately changed their strategy.
Start a long-term strategy, first return the principal to Yu Chengkun, and then give him some profits under the pretext of profit. When he gets the taste of the sweetness, he will find ways to raise more money to make more profits.
The scheme they set up was full of loopholes and sophisticated, and would be easily discovered by anyone with common sense. However, if they encountered a brainless and greedy person like Yu Chengkun, they would be easily exposed.
Later, they deliberately made it difficult for Yu Chengkun to leave, keeping him hanging, and then threw out a bigger bait. Even if they told him that the risk was huge this time, Yu Chengkun would still want to give it a try.
Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk, this is a truth that every businessman understands.
This time the capital required was higher, so Yu Chengkun set his sights on Meng Yingnian.
After all, no matter how much they earn, it is not as much as what slips through Meng Yingnian's fingers.
Even if Meng Yingnian didn't pay the money, Yu Chengkun would definitely think of other ways. Meng Yingnian didn't intend to do this loss-making business, even if it would accelerate the decline of the Yu family.
It is only a matter of time before Yu Chengkun goes bankrupt. Meng Yingnian can wait patiently. After all, Yu Zhi is always by his side. They can afford to wait.
At that time, he could no longer pose any threat to Yu Zhi.
"No, Huachuang has a big project in the second half of the year, and we can't spare the cash flow to reach the amount Mr. Yu mentioned."
"Mr. Yu, you're in luck. I won't share the profits." Meng Yingnian didn't know whether he was being sarcastic or really felt that way.
Not to mention forty, Meng Yingnian could also come up with one more zero, but this action would obviously cause trouble for Yu Zhi. There was no need for Meng Yingnian to do such a thankless task.
Yu Chengkun wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Yu Zhi.
"Can I go upstairs and get my things now?"
Yu Zhizhen's understanding of Yu Chengkun has been repeatedly refreshed, and it was thanks to Zhang that he spoke.
How could a person be so shameless? He couldn't stay there for even a second. If he continued looking at Yu Chengkun's face, he would really want to vomit.
After Yu Zhi finished speaking, he didn't wait for their reply and pulled Meng Yingnian upstairs.
Yu Zhi's room is at the innermost part of the third floor. His original room has been occupied by Yu Jia.
No one had cleaned the room for a long time and there was a thick layer of dust. Yu Zhi started coughing when he opened the door.
No one came into this room, and the servants didn't come in to clean it to save trouble. Even if Yu Chengkun and Wang Jiamin found out, they wouldn't say anything.
No one in this family cares about Yu Zhi at all, and no one cares whether his room is dirty or messy.
Meng Yingnian covered Yu Zhi's mouth and nose, walked in and opened the window of the room first.
Yu Zhi doesn’t have much stuff in this house, and Ye Qiu has even less.
After she died, Wang Jiamin came in and took over Ye Qiu's already limited jewelry, throwing away everything that could be thrown away.
Wang Jiamin also replaced the flowers planted by Ye Qiu in the garden and greenhouse with her favorite red roses.
All that was left was a pocket watch and a photo album.
Ye Qiu had been wearing the pocket watch since she could remember. When she opened the lid, there was a photo inside.
The photo shows a woman holding a girl. The girl is Ye Qiu, and the woman should be Ye Qiu’s mother, Yu Zhi’s grandmother.
It can be seen that Yu Zhi's grandmother is Chinese, and his grandfather should be European. Ye Qiu has obvious Chinese-European mixed-race features.
Especially those sky blue eyes and long light brown hair.
This is the only thing Ye Qiu left behind, and also the only clue related to her family.
Ye Qiu doesn't look like he was abandoned. He might have been separated from his family or abducted.
Most parents abandon their children right after they are born. Yu Zhi can be sure that the person in the photo, whom he should call grandma, will not abandon Ye Qiu.
But Yu Zhi didn't plan to keep looking. Even if he found them, it would only add to his sadness. If he couldn't find them, there might still be a glimmer of hope.
