"Have we done anything wrong to you? You'll understand after you hear what I have to say!" Jianwen said.
Mengyao turned around and walked towards the living room. Yushu was looking at Jianwen up and down weirdly, giving Jianwen a creepy feeling. Was this girl trying to trick him again? Jianwen had been tricked many times already.
Actually, Yushu wasn't trying to trick him. She was just guessing if this guy was really innocent or not.
"Alright, what do you want to say?" Mengyao said to Jianwen.
"Yaoyao, maybe you think that Uncle Chu went bankrupt and committed suicide because of our An family. But, how can we be innocent? My father was even scolded by grandpa for lending Uncle Chu money! " Jianwen smiled bitterly. "If it wasn't for grandpa's love for me, this villa of yours would've been confiscated!"
"The assets are all under your name. What else do you want?" Mengyao asked.
"Uncle Chu's assets and Pengzhan Corporation's shares are indeed in our An family's hands, but Yaoyao, have you ever thought about the 3 billion that my father lent to your father? Do you think that the total value of Pengzhan Corporation's shares and these properties is around 3 billion? Even if it's more than three billion, we're using cash to buy back the assets and shares. This is a huge loss! " Jianwen explained. "After all, the assets aren't money, they're shares. The business won't recover even if it's not managed. But now that we don't have the three billion, even the operations of our business are affected. Overall, we're the victims!"
"You're saying that the three billion you lent to my father was lost as well? Didn't it go into your pockets?" Mengyao naturally didn't believe Jianwen.
"Yao Yao, to be honest, it was my father who dragged Uncle Chu into this project. Maybe that's why you misunderstood!" Jianwen said. "But later on, my father kept telling Uncle Chu to stop, but Uncle Chu acted like he was possessed. He wouldn't listen no matter what my father said. My father couldn't reject him because he was an old friend, so he took the risk and lent him the money …"
"Dad's in the hospital, unconscious. How am I supposed to believe you?" Mengyao wasn't moved at all.
"Man, I knew you wouldn't believe me …" Jianwen shook his head helplessly. "But it's fine, Yao Yao. Our company's phones all have voice recordings. If you really don't believe me, I'll get someone to pull out the voice recording and listen to it yourself!"
"There's a recording? Really? " Mengyao wasn't so sure anymore after hearing Jianwen's words- could it be that her father really wasn't going to listen to her? Her father seemed to be crazy when she called him, and he didn't seem to care when Faubert tried to talk him out of it …
"Our family's company is different from your father's. There are three people in charge, my grandpa, my uncle, and my father. So sometimes, when something goes wrong, we have to look into the person responsible. Who was the one who made the decision? In order to prevent people from denying it, there's no evidence." Jianwen was obviously bullshitting. In House An's business, other than Old Elder An and An Mingyue, Jianwen even had a lot of power. "What's the point?" Jianwen was obviously bullshitting.
"Then … Can you get it for me …" Mengyao hesitated. It wasn't polite to ask for someone else's company's voice recording, but she didn't believe that Jianwen really had a voice recording. She had to confirm it herself.
"Alright, I'll tell my father now …" Jianwen didn't push it away. He took out his phone and called An Mingyue …
After An Mingyue's call, Mengyao wasn't sure herself anymore. Could it be that House An was innocent? Otherwise, why would Jianwen be so confident?
Of course, as suspicious as House An was, there was still the possibility that they were innocent!
"Then why did they lose all their money after making money?" Mengyao asked.
"Man, it wasn't supposed to be a loss, but I don't know why Uncle Chu pulled out a billion all of a sudden, disrupting the entire operation. Not only did we not get the billion back, but we lost everything …" Jianwen said regretfully with a shrug.
"What? Is it because of the withdrawal of investment … that's why you lost it? " Mengyao froze. She didn't think that the reason for her father's bankruptcy was because of him pulling out his investment! Although Jianwen's words couldn't be trusted, Mengyao still blamed herself!
Was it because of her? If she didn't call her father to ask for one billion, would her father pull out his investment? Was he the one who caused all of this?
Faubert didn't want Mengyao to be sad, so he didn't mention this. Faubert was sure that it was House An's doing, and that the investment loss was just an excuse.
But Jianwen wanted Mengyao to hate Lin Yi, so he said it on purpose, "Yeah, it's a taboo for a financial speculator like this to pull out his investment, it messes up the original plan …"
"Is that so?" Mengyao lowered her head, feeling down.
Jianwen was a little disappointed that Mengyao didn't blame him, but he couldn't say anything more. Mengyao would get suspicious if he did, and Mengyao wasn't an idiot. Jianwen had spent so much effort to make Mengyao half believe him, and naturally, he wouldn't ruin the good situation.
Soon, Jianwen's phone received a couple of messages. He opened it up and said to Mengyao, "They're here, I'll play it for you!"
"Okay!" Mengyao nodded without hesitation.
"Pengzhan bro, why are you calling again? Didn't we just talk? I've sent the current profits to your inbox, see if you've received it. "Jianwen's phone started to play the recording of the phone call slowly …
In the beginning, it was just a normal conversation, but Mengyao's face started to change as the conversation went on.
