One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 222: Chapter 199 Grudge

This was the wedding scene, and originally, Chen Feng didn’t have the time to go and verify the authenticity of the cheque.

But…

There was a two-hour intermission in the middle of the ceremony.

Ye Bolin had specially arranged for someone to go to Chen Feng under the guise of casual conversation, and during the chat, they happened to bring up a recent incident involving the use of fake cheques for fraud.

The speaker had a purpose, and the listener was interested.

Chen Feng took it to heart, and as the bride’s father, unable to leave, he found a trustworthy person to take the cheque for verification.

Now.

That person had returned.

Chen Feng had also received definite news that the cheque was indeed a fake!

He had given his daughter to Qin Mobei.

And the man wouldn’t even give him a measly five million for himself.

This was a matter of his son’s life!

Chen Feng felt that he had already been kind enough, asking only for the missing five million his son needed, not a penny more.

Yet Qin Mobei had deceived him at such a moment!

This was simply too much.

Chen Feng couldn’t hold back any longer and erupted on the spot.

Qin Mobei’s heart skipped a beat instantly.

Why had Chen Feng suddenly become so cautious!

Chen Yueyue looked bewildered, “Dad, what are you talking about! It’s my wedding day; please stop making trouble.”

Chen Yueyue truly felt aggrieved.

She only had this one day in her life.

And yet, it turned into a series of endless troubles.

Did her father really have to turn her into the world’s laughing stock before he would let her be!

In Chen Yueyue’s view, her father was definitely making a scene over nothing!

Chen Feng, with a dark expression, said with a cold laugh, “I’ve had this cheque looked at by the bank. It’s a complete forgery! Qin Mobei, my daughter has been raised with all the love and care, if you think she isn’t worth five million, just say it outright. What’s the need to trick me with a fake cheque? Or is it that the Qin Family is about to go bankrupt, unable to come up with even five million?”

Chen Yueyue instinctively looked towards Qin Mobei.

A fake cheque?

How could that be possible!

It was just five million after all!

In Chen Yueyue’s heart, Qin Mobei was omnipotent, such a sum of money should mean nothing to him, how could he possibly issue a fake cheque?

Initially, after Qin Mobei and Chen Yueyue had finished toasting at the Ye Family’s table, the guests thought it was time to lower their eavesdropping ears.

But then!

The situation took an exciting turn, the truly thrilling display was happening now!

The crowd couldn’t help but start murmuring among themselves.

“Chen Feng’s actions are pretty shameless. Demanding money in public like this, a normal person couldn’t do such a thing.”

“Qin Mobei giving a fake cheque is quite interesting too. Does he not want to give the money, or are the Qin Family’s circumstances really that bad now?”

“Hard to say, hard to say, the Qin Family’s top-level executives have been resigning in droves lately, I secretly asked a few. They say Chen Yueyue often comes to the company, and after she arrives, not only does she not allow female employees to get close to Qin Mobei, but she also subtly intimidates them. Female executives who’ve climbed to the top, who would put up with that? Naturally, they’d run for the hills the first chance they get.”

“Men can’t stand it either. They say if Chen Yueyue looks one second longer at any young executive, Qin Mobei gets jealous, and the whole company is plunged into a gloom.”

“Tsk tsk tsk. Originally, I thought the Qin Family could hold out for a while longer. But looking at the current situation, if even five million has to be faked, they probably really can’t hold on much longer.”

Nobody thinks Chen Feng’s public demand for money is the right thing to do.

However, in the world of business,

Qin Mobei’s act of forging even a five million cheque seems to also reveal that the Qin Family is on its last legs.

If that’s the case…

Could they also get a piece of the pie?

Even though it’s a bit late to join the game now, if Ye Bolin and Gu Yan can have meat, they could at least sip some soup, couldn’t they?

Everyone still had smiles on their faces, but they each had their own schemes in mind.

Qin Mobei vaguely heard some murmuring and his face grew increasingly unpleasant as he said in a calm voice, “There might be a bit of a misunderstanding here.”

Chen Feng was relentless, “What misunderstanding? If there really is a misunderstanding, then withdraw the money with this check and I’ll admit it was a misunderstanding!”

Qin Mobei narrowed his eyes, “Father-in-law, can’t we talk about this matter in private?”

Chen Feng didn’t care about whether it was public or private, he said directly, “I’m laying it out right here today. Without five million, you might as well not get married!”

He would just make a big fuss.

As for how Chen Yueyue would get along in the future, he didn’t care; saving his son was what was most important.

Chen Feng looked like he was ready to make trouble, and Qin Mobei’s face shifted through several shades of unpleasantness. He turned and glanced at Chen Yueyue.

Suddenly, he understood why Ye Bolin was so happy to revel in others’ misfortune.

For the first time, he began to doubt his “true love.”

For Chen Yueyue, he had paid a painful price.

His reputation had plummeted.

His company was being attacked from all sides.

Many employees who had been with him for over a decade chose to leave him.

Now, the household of Chen Yueyue was still behaving like this.

Qin Mobei felt he had done more than enough for the Chen Family.

To the Chen Family, he had made various investments and additional contributions. Before the wedding, he had provided a significant dowager’s gift, and even the luxury house the Chen Family lived in was given by him!

All this was because he loved Chen Yueyue.

But what about Chen Yueyue?

What had she done for him?

Was it just to tolerate her family’s incessant demands on him?

No wonder Ye Bolin was so pleased; if he were in his place, shaking off such a big burden would probably also make him extremely happy.

“Mobei, speak up. Is this check fake? How could you deceive my dad like this!” Chen Yueyue was panicking, she failed to notice the changes in Qin Mobei’s expression and kept pressing on.

She really couldn’t understand; she was carrying Qin Mobei’s child.

And the result?

Are she and the child not worth these five million?

Looking at Chen Yueyue’s accusing and questioning gaze, Qin Mobei felt a wave of discouragement for a moment.

He admitted that he had used a little trickery.

But it was in response to the Chen Family’s excessive demands.

Previously, Chen Yueyue also felt that her family’s actions were a bit too much.

But now, she was questioning him alongside them.

What did he really mean to her?

“Mobei, say something!” Chen Yueyue became more agitated.

Qin Mobei looked at her, “Do you also support your father in demanding the five million, yes or no?”

Chen Yueyue hesitated for a moment, then she said, “It’s not about support. It’s not a lot of money, why can’t you just give it?”

Chen Yueyue was conflicted.

On one hand, she felt indeed that what her family was doing was wrong.

On the other hand, she thought the more Qin Mobei gave, the more it proved his love for her and the child she was carrying.

Now that Qin Mobei was passing off a fake check, didn’t that prove he didn’t love her at all?

Qin Mobei, looking at Chen Yueyue’s expression, was at a loss for words. He said coldly, “You want five million, right? Fine, I’ll give it to you. But from this day forward, I disown this in-law relationship. Anything that happens with the Chen Family will be none of my business.”

Qin Mobei then looked at Chen Yueyue again, “And you. If you think what I’ve done is inappropriate, it’s not too late to cancel the wedding now. You can choose to leave with your father. If you choose to go through with the wedding, then from now on, it will just be the two of us, and everything to do with the Chen Family will have nothing to do with me. You can think it over for yourself now.”
