Chapter 1288: Maybe You’re Just Someone Who Can Get Big Things Done

Chapter 1288: Chapter 1288: Maybe You’re Just Someone Who Can Get Big Things Done

"Compared to Ye Fei, I’m nothing." Ye Ning said coldly, "Why? She can’t stand me, and insists on suppressing me everywhere? I think she’s just venting the anger she can’t express at home, to make me suffer humiliation outside."

"You ask me why? That’s the reason." Ye Ning said, "Probably because it’s a habit formed since childhood, I’ve grown accustomed to being unable to stand Ye Fei doing well. Unless she keeps things from me, otherwise, as long as I know, no matter what it is, I will definitely sabotage it."

"Said with real emotion." Zhao Gushen nodded, "But—"

"You couldn’t have done all this alone." Zhao Gushen said, "Someone else is behind you, either directing or cooperating."

"Tell me who that person is, I can let you go." Zhao Gushen said, "I might even let your mother go."

Zhao Gushen used the word "let."

Ye Ning’s pupils shrank.

Indeed, the so-called nursing home was just an excuse.

It’s merely a place where Xu Huizhen is being confined.

"You’re detaining my mom, that’s illegal!" Ye Ning said.

"How could I do anything illegal? It’s a legitimate nursing home." Zhao Gushen chuckled.

Moreover, the facilities in the retirement home are excellent, and extremely expensive.

As long as Xu Huizhen doesn’t act out, she is guaranteed to live comfortably in the nursing home.

There’s someone attending to her, a nutritionist ensuring balanced meals daily.

Plus fruits, desserts, and regular health check-ups.

Of course, the only thing is that Xu Huizhen cannot leave.

She can only stay in the nursing home.

If Xu Huizhen can accept this, she can live quite comfortably in the nursing home.

But if she can’t accept it, she’ll just feel like she’s been confined.

If she always clings to this thought, the only one in distress will be Xu Huizhen herself.

Ye Ning clearly didn’t believe it.

If it were really like this, why use the word "let"?

"If you don’t speak up, today will be the last time you see your mother." Zhao Gushen said.

Ye Ning shook violently.

"What do you mean by that!"

Is it Xu Huizhen who will have a problem, or her?

"You, Xu Huizhen, and the person directing you, you can only save two." Zhao Gushen said, "You can choose. Sacrifice yourself, and Xu Huizhen and the person directing you will be fine. Not only that, Xu Huizhen will regain her freedom."

"Or, reveal who is directing you, and both you and Xu Huizhen can be set free immediately, I will let you both go. The previous matters, I can overlook. You can continue to run your restaurant in B City."

With that last statement, Ye Ning knew for sure that the restaurant issue was definitely done by Zhao Gushen.

"Or, sacrifice Xu Huizhen. If you’re cold-blooded enough to sell your own mother, I admire you for being ruthless, maybe you’re destined for great things." Zhao Gushen said, "In the future, you can work with me, no need to mix with your unpromising partner anymore."

"Sticking with that shadowy person, what future can you have? When trouble arises, he won’t even dare to appear, putting you out in front, to face an unfair battle against me."

"What would he do to you if more serious issues arise in the future?" Zhao Gushen asked Ye Ning.

Of course, Zhao Gushen wouldn’t actually collaborate with Ye Ning.

But if Ye Ning really abandons Xu Huizhen, thinking she could work with him.

Then Zhao Gushen would use the pretense of cooperation to get her to reveal Zhao Guqing first.

Otherwise, without this basic sincerity, what cooperation could there even be?

Though there’s one thing Zhao Gushen did not lie to Ye Ning about.

If Ye Ning truly could sell out her own mother, Zhao Gushen would truly admire her.

Even though Xu Huizhen wasn’t good to Ye Fei, she definitely treated Ye Ning very well.

Always considering Ye Ning, putting herself first in everything.

Even if Ye Ning betrayed anyone else, she couldn’t betray Xu Huizhen, that wouldn’t be right.
