The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 4567

Don’t be fooled by how much he laughs with everyone all day; this old man is actually a tightwad.

Zhong Yunqiu learned this the hard way, as he could still offer 2 billion in 20 years, which shows that he cares more about money than anything else.

But Charlie Wade didn’t really want Liu Jiahui’s money. He had two main goals: first, he wanted Liu Jiahui to pay for breaking his promise to Charlie’s father. Second, he wanted justice for Uncle Zhong.

The second goal could be settled with money, but the first wasn’t about cash at all. Charlie Wade didn’t want to exploit his father’s name for financial gain from Liu Jiahui. Instead, he believed that Liu Jiahui should face consequences beyond just money—things like losing his dignity and personal honor, or even physical punishment.

Charlie Wade wasn’t in a hurry to let Liu Jiahui feel relieved. He planned to keep the pressure on Liu Jiahui to scare him before finally giving him a chance to breathe.

With a cold look, Charlie Wade asked, “Liu Jiahui, who do you think is more guilty than Zhong Yunqiu?”

Liu Jiahui turned pale with fear, looking like a ghost. This question worried him the most because it meant Charlie Wade was considering punishment based on Zhong Yunqiu’s actions.

“If my guilt is less than Zhong Yunqiu’s, that’s one thing. But if my guilt is more, then the compensation I owe must be at least as much as his,” Liu Jiahui thought.

“That means 10 billion in ten years… in US dollars. I’ve been with Fang Jiaxin for so long and never gave…”

Liu Jiahui was overwhelmed with fear as he thought about the 100 million dollars he was being asked to pay. “This Mr. Ye is so powerful; how can I stand up to him? I can’t even handle Wanlong Palace or Hong Yuanshan from Hongmen!” He trembled like a leaf, unsure of how to respond to Charlie Wade’s question.

He knew that going back on his word would be disrespectful to Charlie’s late father, and that would be a much bigger mistake than what Zhong Yunqiu did to his son, Wu Fang. But how could he admit that? It felt like he was about to lose a huge amount of money.

In desperation, tears streamed down his face. “Mr. Ye,” he pleaded, “please have mercy on me. Allow me a chance to make amends. I will kneel at your father’s grave for three days and nights to show my remorse. I hope he can understand and forgive the mistakes I made in my youth.”

After his emotional plea, he turned to Chen Zhaozhong, seriousness in his eyes. “I have wasted 20 years of Ah Zhong’s life. I will compensate him for 20 years of income, based on the highest salary for professional managers in Hong Kong!”

Charlie Wade couldn’t help but laugh. “Mr. Liu, you really know how to do the math. The highest salary for professional managers in Hong Kong is around HK$100 million to HK$200 million a year. You’re talking about two billion dollars over 20 years, and right now, it seems…”

“You have less than one billion dollars, and your reports show you have even less money, right?”

Liu Jiahui shook with fear. “No, no, that’s not what I meant, Mr. Ye! I’m willing to go to your father’s grave and kneel for three days and three nights. After that, I can spend two billion dollars over the next twenty years!”

Charlie Wade looked at him with a playful smile, enjoying the moment. “I’ll make you an offer: twenty billion dollars in ten years. If you agree, we can talk. If not, there’s no point in discussing it further!”
