The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4566

Liu Jiahui felt like he might faint from fear after hearing Charlie Wade’s words. He thought to himself, “Zhong Yunqiu’s reckless son angered Charlie Wade, and Charlie extorted 10 billion dollars over the past ten years. I offended Charlie’s father twenty years ago and broke my promise. Considering this, my guilt is even greater than Zhong Yunqiu’s…”

As these thoughts raced through his mind, Liu Jiahui’s voice trembled as he pleaded, “Mr. Ye, I realize I was wrong and I shouldn’t have gone back on my word. I’m willing to fly to your father Mr. Ye Changying’s grave and bow down all night to apologize. I’ll also apologize to Ah Zhong. If you can forgive me this time, I promise to never embarrass Ah Zhong again. From now on, Ah Zhong will be like a brother to me! I, Liu Jiahui, will do my best!”

Charlie Wade just sneered and replied, “Mr. Liu, we’ve known each other for a while. Do you really think I’m someone who can easily forgive?”

Liu Jiahui struggled to respond, “Mr. Ye, please show me some mercy because of my age…”

Charlie Wade pressed on, “So, do you think I’m a kind person? You’re old, but isn’t Zhong Yunqiu also old? Isn’t he younger than you?”

Liu Jiahui stuttered, “This…this…” He could see that Charlie Wade was not going to soften his stance, so he desperately added, “Mr. Ye, please consider Manqiong and give me a chance to change!”

“Manqiong?” Charlie Wade smiled but his tone turned serious. “Miss Manqiong is a good person, very different from you. You are a villain who breaks promises, while she always keeps her word!”

After a moment of silence, Liu Jiahui knew he was in deep trouble.

“Wait,” Charlie Wade said again. “More than ten years ago, she promised the vendors at the snack street stalls that their rent would never increase. And she kept that promise. What about you? What have you done for more than ten years? Have you kept your promises?”

Liu Jiahui was speechless for a moment, unsure of how to respond.

Charlie Wade continued, “Liu Jiahui, if you can name one, two, or three things that show you’ve kept your promises, I might consider giving you a lighter sentence. But if you can’t think of anything, don’t use Miss Manqiong as a shield. You’re fifty years old this year. Isn’t it embarrassing to hide behind your daughter when you’re in trouble?”

Liu Jiahui’s face turned sour, looking as unhappy as a bitter gourd.

He tried to think but couldn’t come up with anything he had truly done to keep his promises.

Feeling lost, he looked at Charlie Wade and said pitifully, “Mr. Ye… I know the three things you mentioned are my faults, and I won’t argue. I just ask you to tell me how I can make up for it…”

Charlie Wade replied coldly, “How to make up for it is up to you. Show me how sincere you are in your regret.”

Liu Jiahui was at a loss for words. He didn’t have the courage to say what he truly felt.

If he showed lack of sincerity, Charlie Wade would likely refuse and might even get angry. But if he showed too much sincerity, it could hurt him deeply.

After some thought, he hesitantly said, “Mr. Ye… I am willing to spend 100 million US dollars every year for the next 20 years to make up for the mistakes I’ve made in the past. What do you think?”

He looked at Charlie Wade, waiting for a response.

Charlie Wade felt nervous, worried that he might suddenly lose his temper.

To most people, 20 years and 2 billion US dollars is a massive amount of money. But Liu Jiahui understood that for Charlie Wade, it meant very little.

Liu Jiahui remembered that Zhong Yunqiu had agreed to pay 10 billion dollars for ten years just to earn Charlie Wade’s forgiveness. Comparing the two offers, 2 billion over 20 years and 10 billion over 10 years, the difference was striking. It wasn’t just five times more; when you factor in interest rates and inflation over those extra ten years, Charlie Wade’s 2 billion was worth only one-eighth or even one-tenth of Zhong Yunqiu’s offer.

So, when Liu Jiahui suggested his price, he felt very uneasy. He feared Charlie Wade would get angry if he didn’t like it.

Charlie Wade stared blankly at Liu Jiahui, having already seen through his true nature.
