The Empty Bridal Chamber

Chapter 4: Huge Debt

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After the Ye family left at night, Lin Wanmeng was like a deflated ball. She walked up to the second floor dejectedly.

She should be divorcing Ye Lingxiao in a few days, so she could not afford to complicate matters at this time.

After thinking about it, it seemed that she could only ask Ye Lingxiao to make the decision.

In the bedroom, Ye Lingxiao was leaning against the head of the bed with his long legs crossed, reading a book. His tall and straight figure was really seductive, but Lin Wanmeng was not in the mood to admire it.

Just as she was about to tell him about the child, Ye Lingxiao suddenly closed his book and looked up. He said casually, “I can do it myself.”

“What?” Lin Wanmeng’s brain froze for a moment. She had yet to react.

In the blink of an eye, Ye Lingxiao wrapped his arms around her waist and carried her straight to the bed. Then, he pressed down on her.

“What are you doing!” Lin Wanmeng subconsciously resisted this contact. Her fists were about to punch the man’s chest.

Ye Lingxiao quickly grabbed the woman’s flustered hand and pressed her fair wrist above her head. His actions carried a forceful pressure.

He slowly inched closer, his thin lips almost touching her red ears. His low and hoarse voice was like voodoo, fatal but filled with temptation. “Of course we’re making children.”

Lin Wanmeng felt like she was about to explode. Her ears were ringing as she shouted, “When did I say I was going to give birth to your child?”

Besides, wasn’t he dysfunctional in that area? Could it also be a lie?

“You don’t want to have children and inherit the assets?” Wasn’t this what she and Shen Yusong had discussed?

“No!” Seeing that the man’s kiss was about to land, Lin Wanmeng resolutely turned her head away and gritted her teeth. “It’s your business how many assets you have. I’m not interested! I really didn’t expect the all-powerful President Ye in the capital to do such illegal things!”

Ye Lingxiao paused, and a subtle glint flashed across his eyes. She looked weak, but when she opened her mouth, she became a rabbit that would bite.

The woman’s slightly angry look was naturally moving, but Ye Lingxiao did not realize that he was already attracted to her.

He tilted his head and looked at the woman under him with interest. The back of his hand slowly caressed the cold outline of her face. “How am I breaking the law?”

She struggled with her wrists, but to no avail. She raised her eyebrows and glared at him. “If you don’t get out of the way, I’ll sue you for rape!”

Ye Lingxiao curved his thin lips and slowly reminded, “We’re husband and wife.”

“But it won’t be soon.” Lin Wanmeng retorted fiercely, her cold eyes bloodshot. “Don’t think that I don’t know the law. Rape in a marriage is still rape!”

However, Ye Lingxiao did not show any fear on his face. Instead, he sneered mockingly. Suddenly, his face darkened and he warned coldly, “Since you know that you’re still married, stop flirting. As long as you’re Mrs. Ye, you have to abide by your duty.”

Hearing this, Lin Wanmeng understood and heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that Ye Lingxiao was worried that she would cheat on him.

“Oh—” She dragged out the syllable playfully and pointed her slender fingers at the balcony. “So you were peeking.”

The balcony of this bedroom happened to face the garden downstairs. If she guessed correctly, Ye Lingxiao should have seen her meeting Shen Yusong in the garden.

Ye Lingxiao suddenly stood up. A trace of panic flashed across his eyes for some reason, but it disappeared in an instant.

“You have no right to be presumptuous in front of me.” His face was as still as water as he stared at Lin Wanmeng with a malicious gaze.

“I understand.” Lin Wanmeng’s face turned cold as she replied stiffly.

Seeing that the woman had regained her cold expression, the man suddenly felt a trace of regret. Was she playing hard to get?

…

Fortunately, the next day, Old Madam Ye only brought her to the hospital for a checkup. She could only perform the surgery after the results were out.

Lin Wanmeng saw that Ye Lingxiao was not in a hurry. She really wanted to ask him if he had finished his business. She was about to collapse mentally after guarding such an unpredictable ancestor all day.

However, before Lin Wanmeng, who was sitting on pins and needles, could regain her freedom, she received a piece of grievous news that was like a bolt from the blue!

“Mengmeng, we’re finished.” Her mother’s call made Lin Wanmeng feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

Half an hour later, Lin Wanmeng arrived at her mother’s location.

Futan Street, Qinyu Company.

This was a company that his father had opened without his mother’s knowledge and in her name.

She stood at the door and pursed her lips sternly. Even the company’s name revealed a hint of sarcasm.

Qin Yu, he even specially used her mother Su Qin’s name.

However, behind this seemingly sincere expression, there was a lot of scheming!

Her father did not leave her and her daughter a company that they could rely on, but a huge debt that was like a bottomless pit!

Such a company that had been incurring losses and was insolvent was clearly used by her father to transfer the debt!

In the conference room, the lawyer and the company’s acting general manager sat opposite Lin Wanmeng and her daughter.

“Even if the company is declared bankrupt, your mother will still have to bear a debt of 80 million yuan.” The lawyer shrugged helplessly and explained to Lin Wanmeng.

Su Qin, who was beside her, almost fainted. Lin Wanmeng hurriedly held her mother.

She understood that her mother not only hated her father’s heartlessness, but she also remembered the tragic situation when her grandfather was framed and led to bankruptcy. Most of his assets were auctioned off.

Her mother was originally a rich family’s daughter, but later fell in love with her father, who was still an ordinary employee at the time. She married him despite her family’s objections.

Even after her mother’s family declined and her father’s career soared, the two of them still treated each other with respect.

However, who would have thought that her father was just coveting the valuable property that her grandfather had left for her mother after he passed away! After he cheated her of the property, he did not hesitate to divorce his mother on the grounds that they were not on good terms.

Lin Wanmeng could not be sure if her mother knew about her father’s relationship with Shi Qiuqiu and her daughter. She decided to wait for her mother to recover before revealing everything.

However, just as the outsiders present expressed their deep sympathy for the mother and daughter, Lin Wanmeng made a shocking decision.

…

In the Ye family’s villa.

The secretary finally found the culprit who wanted to harm Ye Lingxiao within three days and rushed over to report.

“President, your analysis is correct. It was Chairman Du of Dongfeng Corporation.”

A few days ago, Chairman Du had joined forces with several corporations to suppress the Ye Group in an attempt to achieve a monopoly in the investment industry. However, he did not expect to be tortured by Ye Lingxiao’s iron-blooded methods until he lost everything. That was why he hated him and did not hesitate to hire someone to harm others and tamper with his car.

“Did he go in?” Ye Lingxiao asked slowly as he flipped through a slightly yellowed comic book in his hand.

“Yes, along with the murderer that Chairman Du instructed, they were all taken away.”

“Okay.” Ye Lingxiao closed the comic and carefully locked it.

The secretary hesitated for a moment before saying, “President, there’s one more thing.”

“Go ahead.”

“It’s about your wife…” The secretary’s heart was in his throat.

Ye Lingxiao frowned. “What’s wrong with her?”
