Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 3) Chapter 68.2: The Son-In-Law of a Wealthy Family (47)
“It was an accident. We met by accident.” Shao Mingzhu said.
Chen Haiyang also helped her to smooth things over, and the two of them coaxed Shao Yu for a long time before he stopped asking further questions.
Shao Yu didn’t know what was wrong with him at this moment, and he started questioning Chen Haiyang as if he was checking his household registration.
“Is the young man married?”
“Where does the young man live?”
“Does the young man have those people at home?”
Shao Yu asked in detail, but Shao Mingzhu felt a little embarrassed. However, Chen Haiyang was very patient and answered very carefully without any impatience.
After learning that Chen Haiyang lived in the same neighborhood as them, Shao Yu immediately became happy and said, “With a neighbor like Officer Chen, we are safe.”
Chen Haiyang was a little embarrassed by his praise, and just kept saying: “Uncle, if you have anything, you must call me.”
Shao Mingzhu watched helplessly as the two of them exchanged contact information and even arranged for them to come over for dinner on the weekend. In the end, they were still sent home by Chen Haiyang.
Shao Yu entered his apartment building and said to Shao Mingzhu in the corridor: “This young man is handsome, brave and has a stable job.”
Shao Mingzhu realized wha the was going to say and immediately said, “Don’t even think about it. He’s never been married.”
Shao Yu immediately said, “What’s wrong with you? Can’t you find a first marriage for your second marriage?”
Shao Mingzhu didn’t say anything.
If it were in the past, she naturally wouldn’t feel that there was anything wrong with this. She had the support of Shao Group, and she had fine clothes and delicious food, and many people flocked to her.
But now Shao Group has gone bankrupt and the family is still burdened with hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. She also has to support her elderly father and daughter. With so many burdens, she doesn’t want to harm such a promising young man.
“You are single, and he is single too. It’s not illegal to have a relationship.” Shao Yu said.
Shao Mingzhu’s face was moved for a moment, but she quickly shook her head and said, “No, he has helped us a lot, we can’t harm him.”
Shao Yu asked, “Are you still my daughter? How did you become so insecure?”
Hearing this, Shao Mingzhu fell silent.
Shao Yu continued, “Dad still owes several hundred million. The creditors are very easy to talk to. They are willing to give me time to pay off the debts and have not even put me on the list of deadbeats. Do you think Dad can pay off the debts in his lifetime?”
Upon hearing this, Shao Mingzhu immediately said, “Yes, Dad can definitely do it.”
Shao Mingzhu’s expression did not seem fake, as if she really felt that way.
“You have so much confidence in me, why can’t you have a little confidence in yourself?” Shao Yu asked.
Shao Mingzhu fell silent.
“Isn’t the biggest problem of our family the debt? If you really believe that I can pay off the debt, then are other things still a problem?” Shao Yu said.
Although Shao Mingzhu always says that she has to support her family, this is more like a kind of brainwashing for herself, motivating herself to keep moving forward.
But now that she has fallen in love, she suddenly came to her senses and couldn’t help but retreat again and again.
“I have confidence in my father, but I am different from him. He was capable before and he is still capable now, but I didn’t know anything before and I relied on my father for everything.”
When Shao Mingzhu recalled the past, it seemed as if she had just been eating, drinking and having fun every day. She didn’t have to worry about anything and just needed to enjoy life to the fullest.
“Why do you think so? You didn’t know anything before, but you never complained about yourself. Now you have learned so much on your own. How can you still not be confident?”
“You’ve improved a lot, you’re better than before, how come your self-confidence has decreased?”
Shao Mingzhu turned her head slightly but still said nothing.
Shao Yu then asked, “Do you know how I convinced the creditor?”
Shao Mingzhu immediately turned around and looked at Shao Yu.
“The company went bankrupt and I still owed 300 million in debt. I found them before they sued me.”
“I told them my repayment plan, which was to pay back every six months and how much I would pay back each time. I was very clear about it and even showed them my business plan.”
“Even when I was hiding from my enemies, I changed my phone number and kept in touch with my creditors to let them know that I would not run away.”
“Even now, they know my detailed address in Lincheng.”
“So they didn’t sue Dad?” Shao Mingzhu asked.
Shao Yu nodded and continued, “Not only did they not sue me, but two people invested in me after reading my business plan.”
Shao Mingzhu opened her eyes wide and found this matter more and more incredible.
Shao Yu smiled and said, “My creditors should have been the ones who hated my death the most, but now they are the ones who are most afraid of something happening to me.”
“But I’m different from my father,” Shao Mingzhu said.
“What’s the difference? I had nothing before I met your mother, but after we got married, we worked hard and finally had you and the giant Shao Group.”
“I’m not asking you to be blindly confident. I’m just telling you to do what you can and always have a can-do attitude to face everything, whether it’s love or work.”
Listening to Shao Yu’s words, Shao Mingzhu pursed her lips and thought for a long time.
It took so long that Shao Qi, who was behind the door, couldn’t help but open it and asked, “How long do you want me to stand behind the door and eavesdrop?”
Shao Mingzhu glanced at her daughter and said, “Eavesdropping is not a good behavior.”
“If you don’t want me to eavesdrop, you shouldn’t stand outside the door and chat.” Shao Qi said righteously.
“How can you, a girl, do such a thing? It would be unladylike if you tell others about it,” said Shao Mingzhu.
Shao Qi made a face at her, and then said: “I heard everything outside the door, you don’t dare to fall in love.”
