After accidentally sending a late-night reading to her ex-boyfriend
Chapter 85 The Price of Dishonesty
"Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting!"
Jiang Yue placed a check on the table.
"This is the money that the Jiang family owes to you after their bankruptcy. I know that my uncle handled things unfairly before, pushing all the blame onto you. You have been with my father since the company was founded, and now you have to go through this. On behalf of my uncle, I apologize to you."
Jiang Yue only learned after returning to China to handle the aftermath that before her father's company went bankrupt, there was another project that her uncle had tricked the old employees into signing their consent.
In other words, everyone ended up with debt as a result.
My father gave shares to his long-time employees, which was supposed to be a good thing, but it caused them to lose money and all their life savings. They were even forced to live in cramped conditions and face layoffs as they got older. Life became difficult, and after working for so many years, they had no savings at all.
Jiang Yue was there at the time and privately decided that she would make up for the money that these uncles and elders had lost because of the Jiang family.
At that time, no one believed it, and people kept cursing when the Jiang family was mentioned.
He cursed himself for trusting the wrong boss, wasting his life, losing his ability to work in the end, and being burdened with debts he could never repay, which also affected his children.
Back then, Jiang Yue was even beaten with rotten vegetable leaves.
Think back to Jiang Yue back then, she was still a pampered young lady.
She had never suffered such injustice, being treated like this by a bunch of old men; she might as well be dead.
At that time, only Uncle Zhang believed it, which made him a target of public criticism as well.
Now, no matter what Jiang Yue did, the money has been paid back.
"I had Uncle Zhang tally it up before, and this is the amount, which is one million more than the predetermined amount. I hope that with this money, everyone can start a new life and not be trapped here anymore. I apologize to you on behalf of my father. I don't know why the Jiang family went bankrupt. I only know that my uncle went too far."
However, there's nothing I can do about company matters; this is all I can do.
After Jiang Yue finished speaking, some people were moved to tears.
Everyone knows that Jiang Yue's age is not easy, and everyone knows that Jiang Yue married a rich man.
There was a time when they hoped Jiang Yue would marry a wealthy man arranged by the Jiang family, so that Jiang Yue would have money for them; if all else failed, they would cause trouble.
Later, things didn't work out.
Many people criticized Jiang Yue for being pretentious, saying that she was already living a very difficult life and was still being picky. When they couldn't make ends meet, they naturally wanted to make things difficult for Jiang Yue.
Now that everything is clear, no one has anything to say.
"Miss, you don't need to apologize. I've said it before, the Jiang family's affairs are not your responsibility. We don't want to see you unhappy because of money."
Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Of course not. I didn't marry into a wealthy family to pay off my debts. I just met the right person. And he understands all this, so I can at least give an explanation for the Jiang family's bankruptcy."
Jiang Yue bowed deeply.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Everyone looked towards the doorway.
Developers occasionally come to check this out; I've spoken with Jiang Yue about it before. But at this time…
"They're probably still the ones who want to buy the land. Miss has paid off her debts, and we've gotten back the money your uncle swindled out of us. With the money, we can all go back and live peacefully. If Miss needs some money, just sell this place."
Everyone echoed this sentiment.
This land is no longer necessary.
The dilapidated tenement building was where Jiang Zemin provided housing for everyone. He once said that as long as they were employees of the Jiang Group, they could use this place as their dormitory without any worries if they encountered any difficulties.
Everyone is planning to return this place to Jiang Yue.
As he spoke, Uncle Zhang went to open the door.
He also hoped that Jiang Yue would have an easier time, since Jiang Yue's life was not easy.
When Jiang Yue opened the door, she saw an extremely familiar face.
It is Mo Chenyuan.
Jiang Yue didn't even know why Mo Chenyuan was here.
Even when Mo Chenyuan entered, his face was filled with anger.
However, looking at the room full of elderly, weak, sick, and disabled people, I wonder what they are thinking.
"This...is our young lady's husband?"
Uncle Zhang follows Jiang Yue's account, so he naturally recognizes her.
He rubbed his hands together, looking somewhat uncomfortable.
"Hello, we are former subordinates of the Jiang family patriarch. Since the Jiang family went bankrupt and incurred debts, we have been living here with nowhere to go."
Mo Chenyuan coldly covered his face, and Uncle Zhang probably felt a little embarrassed.
"Mo Chenyuan, how did you find your way here?"
Mo Chenyuan came to Jiang Yue.
"It's about the jewelry; you should explain why you sold it."
Jiang Yue frowned, feeling guilty as well.
After all, Jiang Yue felt that, apart from those haute couture clothes and bags, jewelry was the least noticeable item, since it wasn't needed for daily life, and Jiang Yue had reserved it for show.
Mo Chenyuan's eyes were deep as he gazed intently at Jiang Yue.
"Jiang Yue, I think you should give me an explanation."
"Let's talk about it when we get back!"
Jiang Yue waved her hand, worried that someone might overhear.
But one of the old men seemed to understand. He picked up the check on the table and said loudly, "The jewelry should be here. Take it back. Don't make things difficult for our young lady!"
Another person spoke up: "After the Jiang family went bankrupt, we were swindled out of everything. Death erases debts, and there was nothing we could do. If it weren't for our eldest daughter taking on all the debts herself, she wouldn't have had to work so hard. She used to be such a proud young woman, demanding a dowry of a socialite. Facing criticism, she forced a smile in front of the camera to earn money. We've softened; we don't want that money anymore. But it's our livelihood. We old folks might not care, but what about the younger generation in the family? They can't be left with nothing, burdened with debt."
Jiang Yue never expected that so many people would be paying attention to her situation.
She would explain to Mo Chenyuan, but felt that now was not the time.
Mo Chenyuan, having been in the business world for so long, is inherently cold-hearted.
Although he didn't treat Jiang Yue the same way, Jiang Yue was still worried.
"No need!" Mo Chenyuan waved his hand. "I support my wife's decision. If it's not enough, I'm even willing to give more."
Mo Chenyuan's voice was calm.
"Feel free to make any requests you have. She's strong-willed and doesn't like to talk about anything. Actually, I really want to get to know her better and understand the real her."
Mo Chenyuan looked at Jiang Yue with a deep gaze.
Jiang Yue was a little touched; this didn't seem like Mo Chenyuan at all.
"Miss has already given us more than enough. We weren't deceived by Miss, nor by Mr. Jiang. We are... Miss is just helping someone else pay off their debts now." Uncle Zhang came to Jiang Yue's side: "Miss, there are some things I've always wanted to tell you, but I was afraid of ruining your family."
