Chapter 449: Chapter 449: Contribute Money To Ning Family

Ning Yongrui also did not believe it. However, if Han Weiyan revealed that fact, then, it must be true. He never expected Ning Zhaofeng would be the owner of the Baiyu Restaurant.

Right now, it is the most profitable restaurant in the city compared to other restaurants. The revenue of the restaurant was probably higher than the Ning Family business.

"The mansion that Fourth Brother lives in right now must be his own mansion." Ning Chen spoke out.

"What? That is impossible." Ning Donghai did not want to believe that.

"It is not impossible. With the money that he got from the restaurant, he could buy the mansion at Wunan Street." Ning Chen clearly stated the fact.

Ning Yongrui also thought the same. He did not expect that his fourth son, the least outstanding one, had that kind of talent for making the money.

"He has a lot of money. Why doesn’t he give some to the family?" Ning Donghai wanted his brother and father to think about that.

The butler was standing right beside Ning Yongrui. He wanted to answer that question. He moved the moves for Ning Yongrui to move him.

"What is it, Song Ci?" Ning Yongrui asked.

He was familiar with the butler’s movement. He knew if the butler wanted to say something, he would make that move.

"Excuse me if I interfere with your conversation, Patriarch, First Master and Second Master." The butler started by apologising first. Then, he continued. " Fourth Master had been putting around 400,000 taels per month into our family finance for about 7 years ago. Well, at first, the amount was not that much. However, it started at a smaller amount before it became stable, 400,000 taels for the last 5 years."

The three of them were shocked when they heard the words from the butler.

"Are you really speaking the truth?" Ning Yongrui asked.

"Yes, Patriarch." The butler nodded.

"Why did I know nothing about this matter?" Ning Yongrui smacked the table.

"Fourth Master asked me not to tell you anything about that. I did not think much about that. That is why I don’t tell you about that." The butler stated.

"Then, what is our financial situation right now?" Ning Yongrui asked for more.

"Well, starting next month, we are going to cut some of the expenses. We also need to cut the budget for each family’s branch." The butler explained the situation more specifically to Ning Yongrui.

Hearing the budget for each Family’s branch would be reduced, Ning Donghai was panicked. He was the branch that had a lot of numbers of people. His wife, his legitimate children, his concubine and his illegitimate children, there were a lot of people in his branch.

So, if their branch’s budget had been cut off, how could they sustain this current lifestyle? Ning Donghai was unwilling.

"How about our stores?" Ning Yingrui asked.

"They are still operating as usual. But the profit each month can not be competed with what Fourth Master gave each month." The butler answered the question.

Ning Yongrui suddenly remembered Ning Zhaofeng’s face when Ning Zhaofeng found out that he refused to waste resources for Ning Zhaofeng’s wife. It was Ning Zhaofeng who contributed a lot to their family finance. He started to regret cutting ties with Ning Zhaofeng.

However, because of this pride, there was no way that he would invite Ning Zhaofeng back to the family. He did not mind if Ning Zhaofeng came back but he was not going to be the one who spoke about this matter.

Ning Yongrui looked at this firstborn, Ning Chen. "What is your solution regarding this matter?"

Ning Chen was in the same thought as Ning Yongrui. He was the first born of Ning Yongrui who was also proud to talk to Ning Zhoafeng asking Ning Zhaofeng to come back.

"I agreed with Song Ci’s idea. We need to cut the expenses that we think it is unnecessary." Ning Chen glanced at Ning Donghai.

Ning Donghai noticed his brother was looking at him. However, he pretended not to understand why Ning Chen was looking at him.

"First Brother, why are you at me like that?" Ning Donghai asked.

"Second Brother, you need to dismiss some of your concubines." Ning Chen suggested.

"What? Why do I need to do that?" Ning Donghai became agitated.

"Your branch is the one who receives the most money compared to others. It is because you have a lot of concubines. What are they doing to help the family? Nothing. Because they only spend their time taking care of their faces and bodies. That also can be categorised as useless expenses." Ning Chen spoke out when he also Ning Donghai wanted to pretend that he did not understand what Ning Chen tried to express.

Ning Donghai was shocked when Ning Chen, without hesitation, revealed everything. "You!" He had a bad expression on his face right now. Then, he retorted. "You also had several concubines."

"Only three of them. They were working as the maidservant. At least, they are working. You, on the other hand, have around 20 concubines. None of them are working." Ning Chen retorted back.

Ning Donghai’s expression turned uglier when Ning Chen continued to speak about this. Well, to be exact, Ning Donghai was happy having such many concubines to accompany him each night. He was also liked when the concubines fought for his affection. He felt he was an emperor.
