Captured Hearts: The Substitute Bride’s Gambit Chapter 104

Chapter 104: Chapter 104 This time, I will definitely make a profit Chapter 104: Chapter 104 This time, I will definitely make a profit The feeling of headache and nausea started to flare up again, and Lady Wen was in severe discomfort. She struggled to speak, “Yueqin, accompany Youyou upstairs to take a bath and change clothes. Come down for dinner afterward.”

“Yes, Madam.”

Lin Yueqin bowed her head in a respectful manner and accompanied Wen Nianyou upstairs.

After they entered the bathroom, Lady Wen whispered, “Xingye, I think there’s more to Doctor Anxin’s situation than meets the eye.”

Wen Xingye frowned, “What do you mean?”

“Xiaoyi has grown up under my watch; this matter shouldn’t have been her doing.”

“If it wasn’t her, then who? Who else would do something so foolishly fatal? You can’t possibly think it was our daughter? ”

Wen Xingye was extremely dissatisfied, “You’ve always favored that servant’s daughter. Every time she made a mistake, you defended her!”

“I’m not defending Xiaoyi. I know she truly is a good child; she couldn’t have done such a thing.”

“What can’t she do? Stealing, lying, fighting, truancy, early romance, she hasn’t learned anything good! She’s nowhere close to Youyou! How many times have I told you, a servant is just a servant; as long as we pay her well enough, there’s no need to concern ourselves with her child, but you never listen!”

Lady Wen still shook her head, “I won’t argue with you about the past, but this time, it couldn’t have been Xiaoyi.”

“How could it not be? Her own mother said it was her, and you still say it’s not?”

“Xiaoyi hasn’t been to our house in recent days. How could she have stolen Youyou’s phone? How could she be sending messages to Doctor Anxin using Youyou’s phone every day?”

What’s more, Doctor Anxin’s assistant said that she had called many times, but each time someone would hang up.

Her own phone had always been at home, by her side; only a few people had access to her phone.

Wen Xingye still didn’t believe it, “Youyou doesn’t just stay at home every day, she goes out. Lin Chuyi must have taken the chance to steal her phone when she left.”

Seeing that he didn’t believe her, Lady Wen stopped arguing, even she herself didn’t want to believe that her daughter was lying.

” Jinyu, let’s put an end to this matter. Don’t worry about it anymore; your health is what’s most important. We’ve found Youyou, and I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up soon. Your well-being comes first.”

“Alright.”

“By the way, do you still have money? Give me some more.”

“Didn’t I give you thirty million last month?”

“Only thirty million, what can that do? That money is far from enough; I need another fifty million.”

Lady Wen shook her head, “You’ve already taken all the cash on hand; I don’t have that much cash now.”

“Don’t you still have a villa from your dowry? Sell it. Once I make money in business, I’ll buy you an even bigger and better one.”

Lady Wen hesitated, “Almost ninety percent of my dowry properties have been sold; only this villa is left, which is for Youyou’s dowry.”

“You don’t need to worry about Youyou’s dowry; I will prepare it for her. Right now, I’m short on funds for my business; sell the villa first to help out with this emergency.”

“But, Youyou she…”

Wen Xingye sat next to her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder, “Jinyu, help me, just this once, and I’ll be sure to make a profit. You are the daughter of the Ye Family. To marry me, you even broke ties with your family. I promised I would give you a better life than you had at the Ye family’s. I just lack some capital now, but I’m about to succeed.”

Lady Wen, worn down by his persistence, finally agreed, “Alright, I’ll have someone sell the villa soon.”

Wen Xingye smiled, “I knew it. You are the person in the whole world who understands and supports me the most.”

Lady Wen didn’t smile. It wasn’t because her two billion dowry had been squandered, but because she had a splitting headache, as if thousands of needles were simultaneously pricking her brain.

Wen Xingye failed to notice her agony; having gotten what he wanted, he got up and headed for the kitchen, “This smells amazing. I’m going to see what’s in the kitchen today; I wonder if they’ve made your favorite drunken crab.”

Lady Wen propped up her head, watching his retreating figure. The doctor had told her that she couldn’t eat crabs, or any such ‘heat-inducing’ foods, but it seemed he had forgotten again.
