Depressed wife runs with the ball

"A truck driver, he's being questioned." The female police officer led a few others and a doctor downstairs to the hospital. "Has Jin Yue been notified?" Chu Yue looked at Huang Yunfu, who was at the back of the elevator.

"Not yet, he... he's still a child and is in school. Let's talk to him after things are dealt with." Huang Yunfu really couldn't open the conversation with his son, and was afraid that he would clamor to come back after knowing the news.

Twenty-two years old, still a child. When she was in sixth grade, this mother began to teach herself that teenagers were no longer children and needed to help adults share the burden.

"So tell me, it's because I'm the only one who can make it here, right?" Even though he knew that his mother didn't like him, when he really faced this preference, he still felt it was unfair and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"He is your father, you...why do you talk like that?" Huang Yunfu faced Zhou Xingzhi with doubts, guilt, and some reluctance in his heart. He even hesitated to talk to Chu Yue.

"Yueyue, find out the truth first, don't be anxious." Zhou Xingzhi comforted her and wiped away the tears in her eyes with his fingertips.

Huang Yunfu was heartbroken after losing her husband, but she felt a little timid when faced with her daughter and future son-in-law. First, she had been really bad to her daughter, and second, her husband had left behind a lot of debts that needed to be paid off, but she only had this daughter and future son-in-law before her.

When she saw the cold body in the morgue, Chu Yue couldn't hide her heartache and couldn't bear to uncover the white cloth in front of Huang Yunfu. Zhou Xingzhi had never seen her cry so sadly before, and for a moment, he could only hold her, not knowing how to comfort her.

After seeing him at the hospital, they went to the police station to handle the paperwork. By the time they were done, daybreak had arrived. Zhou Xingzhi was busy running around, even arranging for people to prepare for Chu Jie'an's funeral.

Faced with Huang Yunfu's heartbroken look, Chu Yue could only temporarily put aside her previous resentment, accompany her and comfort her. Seeing Zhou Xingzhi busy, she couldn't help but tell Chu Yue: "The call your father received was from Zhou Jihuai. The car accident may be related to the Zhou family. Yueyue, you... Mom doesn't want to interfere with you, but... your father..."

She hesitated to speak. If they got married in the future, how would she face her son-in-law?

"Wait until the police's results come out, and you'll know whether there is any connection or not." Chu Yue looked calm on the surface, but kept telling himself in his heart that the more times like this, the more rational he should be.

"After your father left, there was a bunch of debt collectors in the company. What should we do?" Huang Yunfu's face turned worried and distressed again.

"How much money is needed? I have some savings here. I'll talk to Jin Yue about it." Although I have always told myself not to get stuck in this family that doesn't give me any love, when I really face these things, I still can't ignore them.

"It's several million, and the production department said that the production capacity can't keep up because the equipment is aging and needs to be replaced. Well, we can't expect you to solve these problems. If you really can't hold on, just file for bankruptcy. Even your brother still has a year to graduate, you can't give up halfway now..." She said all she wanted to say, and looked pitifully at her daughter who looked 80% like her father.

"Wait... wait until Dad's funeral is over, then I'll go to the company. If that doesn't work out, I still have a small house there, and I'll sell it for some money." Chu Yue looked at her watch. It was almost 7 o'clock. Seeing Zhou Xingzhi coming back from work, she looked up and said to him, "You have a lot of meetings today. Go back and wash up, then go to work. I can handle it here by myself. It's just that I may need to take a few days off."

"I'm not too sure about leaving you alone. The formalities here are almost done, so I'll send you back first." After finishing the formalities, Zhou Xingzhi looked at Huang Yunfu who was lowering his head and decided to take them with him.

"You didn't get much rest last night. Work is more important. Go home, wash up, go to work properly, and then go back to sleep. I'll call you when I'm done here." Chu Yue helped him adjust his coat, urged him to go back to work, and also instructed: "Go home and change your shirt."

"Okay, I'll take a taxi back to the company. I'll leave the car and driver to you. Call me anytime if you need anything." There were indeed a few important things to deal with at the company. After giving instructions and preparing to leave, he remembered something and turned back, saying, "I'll bring you lunch at noon."

"it is good."

Only after seeing her agree did he feel relieved to go back.

With the mother and daughter alone and the formalities completed, Chu Yue took Huang Yunfu back home. It had been more than a decade since the last time they had set foot in the Chu family villa. It seemed the aunt in the house had changed.

"Mr. Zhou, he seems to be very good to you." Huang Yunfu suddenly looked much older, and his voice became weak.

"Go back to your room and get some sleep. I'll take care of the rest." Chu Yue didn't want to reacquaint herself with this house again. It wouldn't belong to her in the future anyway. She thought about settling this so-called mother down before returning to Cuiyuan to see if there were any paintings she could hang with Su Ying and sell, perhaps to cover some of the company's debts.

"There must be a pillar of support in the family. Now your father has passed away, and your brother is far away abroad. We are an orphan and a widow. What should we do?" As she spoke, she was about to cry again.

For a moment, I didn't know whether to say that she was incompetent or that she was too much of a man-catcher. When she saw Zhou Xingzhi in the hospital, she thought of pushing An Jie's debt to him. I don't know who gave her the courage.

Chu Yue sighed helplessly and instructed, "Rest well at home. I'll go to the company to check on you. If the hospital calls you, tell me. As for the company's debts, I can only do my best. There's really no other way. Just do what you have to do."

Huang Yunfu couldn't sleep. The house was full of traces of Chu Jie'an's life. Everywhere she went, she was moved by the sight. The more she felt this way, the more she missed her son who was studying far away in Chongyang.

Auntie watched Chu Yue come in and sit for a short time. She spoke to Madam in such a tone, which she had never seen before. "Madam, who is this?"

"You have never seen my daughter. She has grown up and become independent, but she doesn't come back home. As her mother, I don't want to recognize her either." As she said this, her face was filled with tears again.

Seeing the lady crying so sadly, the aunt didn't realize that her boss had passed away. The lady was angry about the sudden appearance of her daughter. She stood up for the boss's wife with a righteous indignation: "Oh, she's very beautiful, how could she be so unfilial! Don't be too sad, madam, it's a good thing that the young master is a caring person."

Huang Yunfu didn't explain much to her. He went back to his room, closed the door, and was sad alone in the room.

Chu Yue rushed to Anjie Technology. A bunch of people in the company were slacking off. The marketing manager was drinking tea with a few salesmen. The production line was not fully operational. The workers were gathered in groups of three or four to talk, and occasionally helped each other out for a while.

The people in the office just glanced at someone and continued with their business. Only the finance department was busy with various accounts, the cashier was still checking invoices, and an accountant was pointing out an error in a salesperson's expense report.

The old accountant sitting at the back was talking on the phone with someone from the bank, and it sounded like they were discussing payment terms.

The Vice President of the Marketing Department was passing by the tea room with a thermos cup. Seeing Chu Yue and the driver standing at the door of the finance office, he asked unhappily, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Chu Yue turned around. The man was probably in his forties, wearing a short-sleeved white shirt and a slightly bald head. The thermos cup in his hand had faded, revealing the shiny stainless steel.

"I am Chu Jie'an's daughter, Chu Yue." She introduced herself.

"Daughter? Old Chu never told me he has a daughter! What are you doing here?" The middle-aged man still looked rude, and there was even a hint of mockery in his eyes as if he saw through her and she was a liar.

"I'm here to take over the company. Who can tell me about the company's current situation?" Chu Yue was not polite and glanced at everyone present.

The middle-aged man laughed disdainfully. "Ah, are young people these days so bold? You just show up at someone else's company and say you want to be the boss. Are you a police officer just for fun? Get out of here now, or I'll call the police to arrest you."
