Chapter 114: Chapter 111: Ye Family Crisis
Manager Yang immediately believed Ye Juanjuan’s words, because, although Ye Juanjuan was crying, she had a sweet smile on her face.
How could this be being bullied? She’s clearly crying tears of joy.
Manager Yang wasn’t aware of Ye Juanjuan’s family matters, nor of her reunion, but he realized he had been too hasty.
"Sir, I apologize if we’ve disturbed you. Please don’t mind." Manager Yang quickly apologized.
"It’s fine," Ye Fan said casually, feeling very happy inside. At the Gray Wolf Bar, there were already people who stood up for Ye Juanjuan, and now there were more. This showed that Ye Juanjuan was well-liked, and as her incompetent brother, he naturally felt delighted.
"Manager Ye, you can chat, and whatever you want to drink is on me." Manager Yang said enthusiastically.
"Manager Yang, I feel bad about this, you really shouldn’t spend money on us." Ye Juanjuan replied bitterly.
"No need to be polite, consider it my way of making amends for my boldness." After saying this, Manager Yang led a group of security guards away.
The onlookers were disappointed. They didn’t know the relationship between Ye Fan and Ye Juanjuan, but seeing the security guards move, they expected some drama. However, nothing happened, and many left uninterested.
"You have quite the connections, a lot of people are standing up for you." Ye Fan said, sincerely happy.
"Of course," Ye Juanjuan said proudly.
After being interrupted by Manager Yang, Ye Juanjuan no longer felt like crying, and Ye Fan also felt a bit better.
"Come home with me. Our parents talk about you a lot. Now that you’re back, it’s best to let them know you’re safe." Ye Juanjuan said decisively.
"Home!?" Ye Fan felt a jolt. The word was so unfamiliar to him; his parents had met with tragedy, and his uncle and aunt, Juanjuan’s parents, were his only remaining family in the world.
"What? You don’t want to go!?" Ye Juanjuan was angry.
"No," Ye Fan said seriously. Since his sister had figured out his identity as her brother, he wouldn’t hide anymore. It was time to go home and take a look.
"That’s better," Ye Juanjuan was very happy, though her eyes also showed sadness, because things weren’t going well at home.
Ye Fan noticed it and asked proactively, "Is everything okay at home? Feel free to tell me anything."
"My dad works at a factory, and the boss has been delaying wages for over a year. The workers chose my dad as a representative to demand payment, and he ended up getting his legs broken. He’s still recovering at home and can’t yet afford a hospital visit. Also, some small-time thugs often harass us at our door, not letting my dad go to the hospital. They won’t stop unless he compromises."
Ye Juanjuan said indignantly, and thinking about her dad’s ordeal made her feel terrible.
Ye Fan felt a surge of anger. Though he was afraid of bringing danger to Ye Juanjuan’s family, he hadn’t revealed his identity to her right away. But now, with his family facing such trouble, if he didn’t act and something happened to them, he’d regret it for the rest of his life.
"Let’s go home now!" Ye Fan said resolutely.
"Okay!" Ye Juanjuan agreed obediently.
The brother and sister left the café, heading towards home.
......
Feitian District, an old and dilapidated residential area, among them a two-story building was the home of Ye Juanjuan’s family.
At the moment, three hooligans were casually guarding the door, and inside, a pot-bellied man was sitting in the living room. This man was the factory boss, Liu Chan.
Behind Liu Chan stood a fearsome-looking man; he was Wu Dahai, famously known as Brother Hai on the streets, and the top aide under the Third Gang Leader of the Fierce Tiger Gang.
Liu Chan couldn’t handle the wage arrears scandal by himself. To suppress the situation and force those affected to back down, he invited people from the underworld. With the Fierce Tiger Gang’s reputation in play, many people dared not speak up.
Ye Juanjuan’s dad, Ye Qingping, sat in a wheelchair. One of his legs had been broken by Wu Dahai’s kick, hastily bandaged without proper treatment, and his injury was worsening.
If this drags on, his leg would be irrevocably crippled.
The ordeal Ye Qingping suffered doesn’t need to be elaborated on. After his leg was broken, he visited the hospital once, but the 200,000 medical bill made his family back down. Without sufficient funds, the hospital refused to admit him.
In fact, treating Ye Qingping’s leg wouldn’t cost that much money; this was all due to Liu Chan blocking their way with the hospital.
Liu Chan refused to let Ye Qingping receive medical treatment, and with henchmen outside harassing, he aimed to force Ye Qingping to obey and not represent the workers anymore.
Ye Juanjuan’s mom, Xu Xia, held a kitchen knife in her hand, glaring angrily at Liu Chan and Wu Dahai, these scum.
If Wu Dahai hadn’t been protecting Liu Chan, Xu Xia would have considered chopping Liu Chan to pieces.
"Brother Ye, you have worked in my factory for seven or eight years. I wouldn’t be delaying wages if I hadn’t gambled. The factory is barely surviving, close to shutting down, and yet you’re leading trouble, demanding wages. Can’t you feel sorry for me and let me go?" Liu Chan’s tone was very cold. "If the factory closes, I’m the one losing the most. Your wages are insignificant compared to the factory I built with my life’s efforts. You’re being very shortsighted."
"You have money to gamble, to bribe, to hire underworld people to intimidate us, but not to pay our wages. Thousands of workers rely on those wages to support families and care for the elderly, and yet a beast like you delays wages again and again with IOUs. Where’s your credibility? If you don’t pay, we’ll escalate the matter as far as it needs to go. I’ll see if the authorities will turn a blind eye. You want to cover the truth? That’s impossible. Someone will bring you down, drag you to jail to see what it’s like not to see daylight."
Ye Qingping was full of anger, seething with rage.
"You’re ungrateful, already in this state, yet still stubbornly resisting. Are you truly this foolish or do you not care about your life?" Liu Chan’s expression was icy.
After pausing for a moment, he said seriously, "Let’s do this. I’ll double the wages I owe you, and cover your medical expenses. But you must promise me one thing: take care of yourself and stop being the workers’ representative against me. How about that?"
