Ye Chen drove to the old house.
Initially, Ye Chen arranged for his parents to live in a villa, but they said they were not used to it and claimed that living in the old house was more comfortable.
Ye Chen couldnРІР‚в„ўt do anything about it, so he had to agree.
When Ye Chen returned home, he saw his parents looking worried.
"WhatРІР‚в„ўs wrong, mom and dad?" Ye Chen asked puzzledly.
Father Ye said, "Ah, these relatives somehow heard that youРІР‚в„ўve made it big, so they all came to borrow money."
Ye Chen understood the truth of the matter; it must be because these distant relatives heard on TV that he opened a school, so they all came to borrow money.
The elderly couple are generally thin-skinned and are also concerned about maintaining appearances.
So they didnРІР‚в„ўt know how to refuse.
After hearing the reason, Ye Chen said, "DonРІР‚в„ўt worry, let them all come, IРІР‚в„ўll handle this."
"Can you handle it well? If not, IРІР‚в„ўll take out my retirement savings." Father gritted his teeth and said.
Ye Chen said helplessly, "Dad, theyРІР‚в„ўre borrowing money from me, not from you guys. DonРІР‚в„ўt worry, I can handle it."
The next day, all the relatives who got the news came to Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs house.
Ye Chen sat at home, smilingly watching these distant relatives.
These relatives were usually not in contact, but now they all suddenly appeared.
"Dear nephew, I heard you made it big, you canРІР‚в„ўt forget us poor relatives."
"Exactly, having a rich relative like you, weРІР‚в„ўre really blessed, dear nephew, you canРІР‚в„ўt leave us behind."
Ye Chen listened and smiled faintly, "Uncles and aunts, the truth is, I donРІР‚в„ўt have money."
Hearing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words, the group of relatives was not pleased.
"Dear nephew, who are you fooling? YouРІР‚в„ўre driving a sports car, arenРІР‚в„ўt you?"
Ye Chen smiled faintly, "The sports car belongs to my girlfriend, but since weРІР‚в„ўre relatives, if you really have difficulties, borrowing money is possible."
These relatives had their eyes light up when they heard this.
"Difficulties, of course, we have difficulties."
"We donРІР‚в„ўt have money for our kidsРІР‚в„ў schooling."
"My mom is sick and needs money for medical bills."
"My business needs cash flow."
These relatives were clamoring, each describing their situation worse than the others.
"Ye Chen, you used to eat at our house often when you were a kid."
"I used to give you New YearРІР‚в„ўs money frequently when you were little."
"Your new clothes for the New Year were all bought by me."
These relatives seemed prepared, each attempting to build a relationship, fearing Ye Chen wouldnРІР‚в„ўt lend them money.
Ye Chen looked at these relatives and understood why his parents were troubled.
Actually, Ye Chen is worth billions, lending a little is nothing.
But the actions of these relatives were disgraceful.
They even used tactics like saying he had forgotten his roots, using the claim of forgetting poor relatives upon getting rich to provoke his parents.
This made his parents unable to sleep well every day.
Moreover, most of the things these relatives said are nonsense, clearly intending to swindle money from their family.
Ye Chen laughed and said, "If anyone has difficulties, I will definitely help. LetРІР‚в„ўs do this, line up, and if you really have difficulties, IРІР‚в„ўll lend you the money."
Hearing that Ye Chen would really lend them money, these relatives became excited.
After lining up, Ye Chen said, "Borrowing money is fine, debts must be repaid, borrowing money is possible, but you have to sign an IOU."
Ye Chen is not stupid; will these people pay back the borrowed money? Certainly not.
Although Ye Chen isnРІР‚в„ўt short on money, he doesnРІР‚в„ўt want to be disgusted by these people either.
He worked hard for his money, why should he give it to them for free?
Most importantly, they even used such despicable methods to threaten his parents.
Upon hearing that Ye Chen wants an IOU, these relatives werenРІР‚в„ўt happy.
"Little Chen, what do you mean by this, are you afraid we wonРІР‚в„ўt pay it back?"
"Yeah, weРІР‚в„ўre all relatives, is this necessary?"
Ye Chen, however, was assertive.
"None of your words matter; debts must be repaid, itРІР‚в„ўs a matter of course. YouРІР‚в„ўre relatives with my parents, many of you I donРІР‚в„ўt even know. Since youРІР‚в„ўre borrowing money from me, considering my parents, itРІР‚в„ўs already a favor that IРІР‚в„ўm willing to lend you. Without an IOU, donРІР‚в„ўt think of borrowing even a penny from me."
Hearing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words, the relatives had no choice.
However, these people came up with a plan. What if thereРІР‚в„ўs an IOU? If they donРІР‚в„ўt repay it, what can he do?
Ye Chen nodded and directly sat at the table, saying, "Alright, come one by one."
At this time, a middle-aged man in patched-up clothes squeezed out, "Dear nephew, IРІР‚в„ўll borrow money first."
Ye Chen glanced, this relative indeed looked pitiful, with clothes full of patches.
However, upon checking his background, Ye Chen sneered.
This relativeРІР‚в„ўs family condition is very good, they travel abroad with their boss every year.
Short of money? Definitely not, but who wouldnРІР‚в„ўt take free money?
Ye Chen said, "Okay, you go first, tell me your reason for borrowing money."
"My boss is seriously ill and needs medical treatment, twenty or fifty thousand is needed." The middle-aged relative nervously held up five fingers, looking at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded, "Oh, okay."
Hearing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words, the middle-aged man was pleasantly surprised.
Ye Chen directly pulled up this relativeРІР‚в„ўs information and then wrote on paper: "Ye Mingyu, owning a two-bedroom apartment in Pudong East Road Garden District, as collateral, borrowing 500,000 from Ye Chen... then wrote the date."
The middle-aged man was stunned; he didnРІР‚в„ўt expect Ye Chen to know his situation so well.
Ye Chen smiled faintly, "Sign and seal, and IРІР‚в„ўll transfer the money to you immediately."
Ye Mingyu glanced at the IOU but scoffed internally, thinking, РІР‚в„ўEven if I donРІР‚в„ўt repay, can you really sell my house?РІР‚в„ў With this thought, he signed his name readily.
Sure enough, Ye Chen transferred the money directly.
Seeing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs generosity, other relatives also started writing IOUs one by one.
The reasons for borrowing money were varied, childrenРІР‚в„ўs schooling, buying a house for kids, elderly getting sick.
In a blink, more than ten relatives borrowed over 5 million from Ye Chen.
They obviously regarded Ye Chen as a cash machine, borrowing larger and larger amounts.
Some of the relatives who first borrowed money even secretly regretted not asking for more.
As long as they asked for a loan and wrote an IOU, Ye Chen agreed.
The dozen or so relatives left satisfied.
"Ah, Little Chen is so generous."
"Little Chen really rescued us from our urgent needs."
Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs lips slightly curled up.
Just then, the sound of brakes came from outside the door, followed by a bald man leading a group of thugs entering.
Seeing these people arrive, the relativesРІР‚в„ў faces changed.
This group was adorned with dragons and phoenixes; some relatives even recognized this man.
It was none other than the notorious Brother Leopard from Modu.
Brother Leopard looked at Ye Chen with a fawning expression.
"Brother Chen, what instructions do you have for me?"
Ye Chen handed a stack of IOUs to Brother Leopard.
"Oh, these are the IOUs from my relatives borrowing money from me. They all have repayment dates. Help me collect the money when the time comes. I donРІР‚в„ўt have any other requirements; you can waive the interest, but I want every penny of the borrowed money back."
Hearing Ye ChenРІР‚в„ўs words, the relativesРІР‚в„ў faces suddenly turned grim.
They knew very well what kind of person Brother Leopard was; these people specialized in debt collecting.
If the money wasn’t repaid, they would splash paint, bang on doors at night, or even resort to threats – they were capable of anything.
Moments ago, the people who were all excited now had their faces turn desolate.
