Assets Worth More Than Ten Million

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In his entire life, Song Yuanzhi never achieved his ambitions: he did not marry the woman he wanted, did not make the money he wanted, and could not bear a son. Hence, he was cold to Lu Lan and did not care about his daughters.

However, no matter how much he did not care about them, he was not naive enough to think that an average third-grader could meet these people of the upper class.

His first instinctive reaction was to guess that they had a disgraceful relationship.

"Who are you?" Song Yuanzhi furrowed his brows as he looked at the two men in front of him and turned around to size Song Ye up from head to toe harshly. "You didn't return home for a whole week so you spent time with these people? Did they buy this outfit for you?"

His tone was not soft, and the disdain in his tone was as clear as day as if Song Ye really did something shameful.

At first, Zhao Zhen was still curious as Song Ye was always alone and was very strange and different when handling things. Even though he did vaguely feel that she did not have a good relationship with her family, he never expected it to be so bad until her parents would make baseless accusations. The bit of good impression he had of Song Ye's parents disappeared into thin air as he furrowed his eyebrows. "Mister, no matter who you are, we can sue you for ruining CEO Wang's and my reputation in public."

"What? Sue?" Song Yuanzhi was taken aback and then remembered that the other party was wealthy and powerful, causing him to get nervous. "I'm Song Ye's father. What's wrong about a father being worried that his daughter got tricked outside?"

"Yes, Song Ye is our daughter. What relation do you have with her, friend?" Lu Lan, who managed to squeeze to the door, chimed in. She was always sensitive towards the smell of the wealthy, and her eyes were long glued onto Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen's face darkened and secretly judged the battered, ugly woman in front of him and could not believe that she was Song Ye's mother. He squeezed a slight smile. "Madam Song, we're Song Ye's friends. My last name is Zhao."

Upon hearing the greeting 'Madam Song', Lu Lan's eyes lit up as she broke into an awkward smile. "I'm Song Ye's mother. Since you're friends, then it's easier to solve things."

"Hm?" Zhao Zhen was confused as it did not sound like it was something good.

On the other hand, Song Ye stood at the side relaxingly and was prepared to watch a show when Lu Lan came out.

As expected—under Song Ye's cold gaze, Lu Lan smiled. "Mr. Zhao, Song Ye this stupid child is immature and had broken a few items. Since you're all friends and you look pretty rich, why don't you help her pay?"

When she finished her sentence, let alone Zhao Zhen, even Wang Yutang—who was standing aside—also widened his eyes in shock. It was the first time he saw such an uncouth person.

After a while, Zhao Zhen then turned his head with much difficulty and looked at Song Ye who was relaxed. "Did you not tell them how much assets you have?" Logically speaking, children of this age loved to brag and be in the limelight; they would love to let everyone in the world know about what they did. Besides, Song Ye bought over a jewelry company; it was such a shocking thing, did she really not tell her family members?

"Mm, we severed our ties. There's no need to tell them unnecessary things." Song Ye nodded and directly addressed the elephant in the room. She looked calm and had even added a sentence cruelly. "My assets of more than ten million dollars have nothing to do with them."

Zhao Zhen was stunned as he knew that she did not like to joke, but he felt that there was nothing to persuade her anyway. He directly laughed, "Since everything is settled here, let's go eat. This time, CEO Wang had given our shop a business deal worth a few million, hehe…"

"Okay, CEO Wang, this way, please." Song Ye smiled and directed him, without even caring about the people beside her.

At first, Wang Yutang did not care much about a child and had even thought that Song Ye was just a smokescreen that Zhao Zhen found. However, he saw that she was so calm and nonchalant. She did not even hide her family's dirty laundry and knew when to advance and retreat when talking. Even though she was slightly cold, she knew how to treat people politely; and this point made him have a good impression of her and admire her slightly.

Based on the trio's talking abilities, they had walked far away; but the Song family was still standing at the same place and grew giddy by the words 'assets of more than ten million' and 'few million'. Commoners like them in their societal class would never save hundreds of thousand dollars even after working their whole life, so what was the concept of tens of millions?

Just now, Song Ye said that she had tens of millions!

Song Yuanzhi watched the thin figure grow smaller and suddenly had an idea in his head, as he opened his mouth and shouted. "Song Ye! Pay up!"

At this time, he did not bother if she had money; the table of food was the most important.

Song Ye, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned back to look. Her pair of clear eyes under the sunlight looked as cold as ice. "If I remembered correctly, the one who pushed the table down was your wife standing beside you. The surveillance cameras in the room must have captured it. Also, please don't address me by my name; it's very rude."

"You…" Song Yuanzhi choked on her two sentences until his face turned completely red and could no longer uphold his status. "What kind of attitude is that? I'm your father. Even if I'm not your biological father, I'm still your father by law. Everything you own is mine!"

"Hehe…" Song Ye laughed lightly but did not show any expression on her face. "Very quickly, I wouldn't have anything to do with the Song family under the law."

After she finished her sentence, she turned and left, leaving this set of confusing words for the others. The remaining Song family members glared at each other and were all in a bad shape.

Since the few jades Song Ye bought back the previous time, Yu Fu Jewelry's profits and movable assets have grown rapidly; and the reputation of the shop having quality jades had spread all across the industry. Having more than ten million in assets was not just a number, but it also represented the chance for Yu Fu Jewelry to be listed.

Song Ye ate with Wang Yutang and talked about the Material Selection Exhibition that Wang Yutang would be holding. He had eventually decided that Yu Fu Jewelry would fork out five million dollars of investment.

Of course, this price was only initiated by Zhao Zhen under Song Ye's instruction. The method of using almost all the movable assets in the shop made Zhao Zhen break out in cold sweat.

However, the shop was Song Ye's so he could only act on her orders.

Exiting the hotel, Song Ye wanted to go to Yu Fu Jewelry and take a look at Yun Hua. The whole way there, she casually started talking about her situation.

"Yun Hua is a mature girl and very sensitive when completing tasks, but she doesn't talk much and looks difficult to get close to." Yun Hua was working as a service staff in Yu Fu Jewelry so Zhao Zhen knew her the best.

Hearing that, Song Ye nodded. "Mm, she experienced some things earlier so she would need some time to come out of her shell."

"Mm." Regarding this, Zhao Zhen had guessed it vaguely but did not dare ask. However, he thought of something which made his eyebrows knit tightly together. "There's something a little weird. My wife had made all sorts of food to boost her blood circulation during this period, but Yun Hua's face is still very pale. I don't know if she's not feeling well, and I tried to ask her but to no avail."
