Chapter 628 - SOFT-HEARTED WANG CHE (1/2)

Dinner proceeded more smoothly than Wang Che thought it would. No one brought up the matter of the business again. Moreover, Master Wang did not speak up again, so it was not difficult for everyone else to keep the conversation light.

Things took a turn shortly after dinner when Master Wang invited Wang Che to his study. The living room fell into a cold silence before Madam Wang intervened.

”Dear, do not bother Che. He has just returned home. There will be other opportunities to talk with him.” The woman said as tactfully as possible.

”He is not a delicate flower, and I am not a monster. We are only going to talk about a few things, father to son.” Master Wang dismissed her.

”Dad, should I join you?” Wang Lu asked.

”Do not become a worrier like your mother. I am going to speak to Wang Che alone. He does not mind. Why are you all butting in?” Master Wang was irritated.

”So, I guess I should not say anything?” Wang Ning asked cheekily.

Master Wang glared at him before indicating for Wang Che to follow. Wang Che did not mind because he wanted to know the extent of damage to the Wang family business. Perhaps, it might give him a clue about who had the most motive for acting.

When the two men sat down in the study, Master Wang did not waste any time.

”Wang Che, I know you believe that I have wronged you, but that does not mean that you should abandon your family.” Master Wang said with a firm look on his face. He believed that he had expressed humility as much as possible.

Wang Che scoffed at the righteous attitude. ”If you believe in your words, why didn't you seek me out until you needed something? We both know what happened fifteen years ago. But even if we were to put that behind, did you reach out when I had nothing?”

”Do you have to be so petty about everything? You are a man. You might experience some injustices, but you do not have to live in them forever. You should learn to move on instead of constantly digging into the past.” Master Wang said.

Wang Che calmed down. ”You are right. What exactly do you want from me?”

Master Wang nodded in approval, assuming he still had power over his son. He took out a file from his drawer and pushed it to Wang Che.

”We are struggling a little with paying off some of the loans, and we need a little cash input for some of our major projects. If you can invest that amount into the company, we will be able to get through the hard period.” Master Wang said.

Wang Che opened the file and looked at the document. He was not surprised to find a contract for him to finance the Wang family business. He was not disappointed. He had expected everything to work out exactly like this.

But he could not believe that his father or brother had prepared a contract for financing already. They were quite confident that they could convince him. His eyes perused over the contract, and he wanted to roll his eyes.

Still, he kept an outward look of calm.

”All you have to do is sign the contract. Your brother and I will take care of everything else.” Master Wang said generously.

Wang Che closed the file and looked at his father. ”That is a lot of money to ask from me. You should know that it is difficult for me to get this amount, especially after what I put into building Clarion Extreme.”

Master Wang laughed lightly. ”Do not be coy with me. I know that Clarion Extreme might have made a dent in your fortune, but I have also heard some things about you and that Furukawa boy. If I am to understand, you have control over his money.”

Wang Che felt a cold chill cover his body. ”How do you know about this?”

”Come on, boy! This is Supreme City. No one can keep their secrets for too long.” Master Wang said with a sharp look in his eyes. ”It is not a problem for people to know. You have already broken up that ridiculous situation, and you came out on top. The rumours will pass, but you will still have all his money.”

Wang Che almost gritted his teeth at the audacious words from his father. He could not believe that he was related to this vile and calculating man. But again, he had not turned out much better. He was, after all, the one who threatened to control Shun using his fortune.

”You know the money is not mine. I will eventually have to return it to Shun. It is rightfully his.” Wang Che tried to stop the churning disgust in his heart.

Master Wang banged his hand on the table with anger. ”You will do no such thing. That boy humiliated you and made a fool out of you in public. If you return his money, you will become a true laughingstock. Do you want to drag the Wang name into the mud?”
