Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey

Chapter 75: Chapter 75: The Ancestor was Right Again
 

Qin Yue’s family company had previously invested a huge sum of money to acquire a piece of land that they intended to develop and rebuild, supposedly based on insider information that the government would be enacting new planning near that plot of land, which in the future, would become the wealthiest area in city F.

Moreover, that area was originally part of the old city and news about the redevelopment plan had not been leaked, so the prices were not too high.

The Qin Family thus invested a significant amount of money to purchase the nearby land, aiming to take the initiative.

But for some reason, the redevelopment suddenly ground to a halt.

For the Qin Family, this project was akin to a stillbirth—the money invested couldn’t be recouped in the short term.

Not only that, but the Qin Family’s other projects also encountered various problems recently and were forced to halt.

However, such news had been suppressed by the Qin Family, so without a deliberate investigation, no one would know about these crises.

Upon learning this situation and seeing the contents of the email, Cao Jiadong was stunned, how could this be…

Qin Yue had never mentioned any of these issues to him.

If it was just a simple investment failure, why wouldn’t she tell him?

Perhaps if the Qin Family had asked for help, he might have been willing to assist.

Why keep it from him?

Cao Jiadong couldn’t figure it out, but just then, his phone suddenly rang.

He picked up his phone and saw a message from Qin Yue, asking him to visit the Qin Family. It was about a discussion regarding their marriage, and she wanted to re-discuss it with him.

Cao Jiadong’s heart skipped a beat—he had an uneasy premonition, but after thinking about his daily interactions with Qin Yue, he still believed she wasn’t a bad person.

He gritted his teeth, agreed to her request, and after replying to the message, he drove to Qin Yue’s family home.

Qin Yue’s home was some distance away from Cao Family’s company.

By the time Cao Jiadong arrived, it was already past ten in the evening.

Nearly all the neighboring homes were at rest, with only the Qin Family’s house still lit up in the villa area.

After ringing the doorbell, it was Qin Yue who came to open the door.

Seeing Cao Jiadong, Qin Yue looked slightly anxious. Holding onto Cao Jiadong’s hand, she asked softly, “Is everything okay at home?”

Cao Jiadong hummed an acknowledgment, “It’s alright, my dad went back to the hospital, and my mom is packing. She said she is moving out first thing tomorrow morning and also going to file for divorce.”

The Cao Family’s boss, Mr. Cao, and Wang Lijuan’s issues had been witnessed by Qin Yue and her parents in their entirety.

There was no need to hide anything.

Upon hearing Cao Jiadong’s words, Qin Yue felt some pity for him.

The absurdity and suffocation she felt just hearing about today’s events, how much more for Cao Jiadong?

Just as Qin Yue was about to comfort Cao Jiadong, her mother Ye Xiuyun appeared at the doorway, “Jiadong, you’re here. Why stand at the door? Come in and let’s talk.”

The words Qin Yue was about to say had to be swallowed back, but her frown deepened as if she remembered something unpleasant, seemingly resistant to something.

Cao Jiadong wasn’t a meticulous person and didn’t notice his girlfriend’s reaction. He nodded to Ye Xiuyun, “Sure, Auntie, we’ll come in right away.”

He took Qin Yue’s hand and whispered, “Let’s go in first.”

Qin Yue hesitantly nodded, her expression solemn as she followed Cao Jiadong into the house.

Qin Yue’s father, Qin Guoxiang, was sitting at the tea table next to the living room, seemingly brewing tea.

Seeing Ye Xiuyun usher them in, Qin Guoxiang smiled faintly and said, “Jiadong, come and take a seat.”

Cao Jiadong responded with an “Okay” and sat down with Qin Yue and Ye Xiuyun opposite Qin Guoxiang.

“How are things at home faring?”

As soon as Cao Jiadong sat down, Qin Guoxiang took the initiative to ask.

Sitting in front of his father-in-law, Cao Jiadong felt a bit nervous and sat up straight, “Um, nearly dealt with everything.”

For some reason, although the Qin Family already knew about these issues, some things he could easily talk about in front of his girlfriend were embarrassing to mention in front of Qin Guoxiang and Ye Xiuyun.
