After being reborn, the young master returned to his village and led his wife and daughters to prosp

These fixed assets are now the only property the Ye family owns. If they lose even these, they will truly have nothing left.

He, the dignified young master of the Ye family, will continue to be the poor boy he used to be, looked down upon and scorned by others.

"That's true, but your father is currently in jail. If he causes a financial dispute with the company over unpaid wages, it might not be as simple as just being locked up for a while. It's very likely that the higher-ups will use this as an excuse to make trouble."

“If he’s locked up for a few years or even longer, everything will be different when he gets out. Money is good, but it’s just an external thing. You should think more about your dad.”

Ye Zhenlong looked at Ye Tian and spoke in a deep voice, but there was not much affection in his eyes for his grandson.

Because he knew that the young man in front of him was not actually his son's biological son.

There was no blood relation between them, and the two had almost no feelings for each other. In addition, given Ye Tian's personality, he didn't really like this grandson.

But there was nothing he could do; the Ye family couple really liked him. He, as their father, wasn't good either, interfering in his daughter-in-law's affairs all the time. Besides, their relationship wasn't very good to begin with, and he didn't want to make things even worse over something like this.

"Dad, is it really going to happen? If we don't find a way to fill the funding gap, will Lao Ye really be locked up for several years?"

Ye Zhenlong, driving Wang Shuping, said in a deep voice, "Why would I need to lie to you?"

"You two should think about this yourselves. This is your family matter, and I don't want to get involved."

"But what I just said was definitely not meant to scare you. You should think it over carefully. It's up to you whether you want to raise the money first to get your husband out, or to keep these assets."

How could Ye Zhenlong not understand those people's methods?

They are a pack of insatiable wolves. If we can't satisfy their appetites now, they will only become more and more greedy.

This is something that can be solved with some money now, but if these people become more and more greedy over time, then it won't be something that can be solved with money.

"This……"

"ok, I get it."

Wang Shuping sighed helplessly and finally had no choice but to accept Ye Zhenlong's suggestion to raise money to rescue her husband.

Even if Ye Tian was unwilling, he had no say in such important family matters.

So he could only turn his head and leave with a grim expression.

the other side.

After the matter between Lin Fan and the Liu family was resolved, Lin Fan returned home.

He forgot to ask whether his mother had any relationship with Mr. Liu from Longteng Company.

However, this is indeed a difficult question to ask. After all, if the two really had some kind of relationship, the fact that the parents had never mentioned it to their descendants for decades suggests that there was a very difficult secret to reveal.

If I were to press her for an answer, my mother would definitely tell me, but that would inevitably embarrass her.

So after much thought, Lin Fan decided to take a gentler approach.

Back in his room, Lin Fan called Lin Shuying over and discussed it with her.

"Honey, do you remember that man we met in the provincial capital who looked a lot like Mom?"

Lin Shuying was slightly taken aback when she heard Lin Fan's words. The image of that person appeared in her mind, and she nodded subconsciously.

"I vaguely remember, honey, what's wrong?"

"Honey, actually, I had a few more dealings with that person in the following days. He's the CEO of a very powerful company."

"And his attitude toward me was a bit strange. I suspect that he might have some kind of connection with my mother. I want to ask my mother about it."

Lin Shuying immediately expressed her support.

"We should ask. If it's a relative of Mom's, then we should try to reunite them with their family if we have the chance."

Clearly, Lin Shuying had oversimplified the issue, assuming that even if there was some relationship between them, it wasn't as bad as Lin Fan imagined.

But Lin Fan didn't think so, because the matter itself was very strange. Think about it, someone who hasn't mentioned it for decades, and who never makes a single sentimental remark during holidays, is obviously deliberately avoiding it. There must be some bad feelings between them.

Lin Fan didn't explain anything to Lin Shuying in detail, but instead took her to find the Lin family's elderly couple.

It was almost lunchtime, and Liu Chunlian was busily preparing meals for her family in the kitchen.

Liu Chunlian's cooking skills are as good as ever. Today she made white-skinned oil-splashed noodles, along with a few side dishes.

Now that they have plenty of money, eating meat at every meal is common, but they still need to eat some appetizing vegetarian dishes occasionally to cut through the richness.

Seeing the two enter, Liu Chunlian subconsciously revealed a gentle smile, waving a spatula as she said without turning her head, "Third brother, fourth brother, what brings you here? Are you hungry?"

"There are steamed buns in the pot, and a few dishes of pickled vegetables over there. Take them out and have them for a while. The meal will be ready soon."

Looking at his gentle foster mother, who had always been loving and caring towards them since childhood, Lin Fan opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Mom, we're not hungry. We'll eat when the food is ready."

"Shuying and I came to see you because we have something we want to ask you."

"What's wrong? Third brother, what do you want to ask?"

Liu Chunlian paused for a moment while wielding the spatula, then turned around and looked at Lin Fan with some confusion.

Lin Fan and Lin Shuying exchanged a glance, giving each other a firm look. Then Lin Fan took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "Mom, I want to ask about your past."

"Ago?"

Liu Chunlian's eyes flickered, and she smiled slightly, saying, "What happened before? Is it something that happened when you were little? Go ahead and ask. I remember everything that happened when you brothers were little very clearly."

Lin Fan shook his head again and said, "Mom, it's not about us, it's about you."

"I'd like to ask, don't I have any uncles or anything like that?"

Upon hearing the word "uncle," Liu Chunlian suddenly stopped, a complex and inexplicable sadness appearing on her face.

She turned to look at Lin Fan, forcing a smile, and said, "Third brother, why did you suddenly want to ask this?"

Without hesitation, Lin Fan chose to tell his adoptive mother the truth.

He recounted to Liu Chunlian what had happened in the provincial capital.

It emphasizes how similar that person is to the mother and how strange his attitude towards her is.

"Mom, at first I thought it might be a misunderstanding, but then I found that our whole family thinks you and him look a lot alike. It's not just that you look alike, but even some of your subconscious little actions are similar, so I thought I'd ask you about it."
