Chapter 591: 131: Bankruptcy_5

After all, as Li Bai once said,

"Wealth lost is wealth that can be found again!"

Shen Zhiqiang nodded, "Okay, thank you Xiyue, marrying you has been the greatest treasure of my life."

Hearing this, Loo Xiyue couldn’t help but laugh, "Alright, alright, we’re a old couple now, yet you’re still saying things like this. Aren’t you being cheesy?"

As she finished speaking, Loo Xiyue added, "I have to go back home this afternoon and will arrange for a caregiver to look after you."

It wasn’t just about going home.

She also had to take care of the aftermath at the company.

With her husband lying in the hospital bed, it was up to Loo Xiyue to keep the home standing.

"Okay," Shen Zhiqiang looked at Loo Xiyue, "Xiyue, you’ve been working so hard these days."

Loo Xiyue, somewhat unable to bear his attitude, said with a sense of resignation, "Old Shen comrade, can you act normal for once? Why do you keep using words like ’thank you’ and ’tough work?’ We’re family."

"Alright, alright, my comrade Xiyue!"

"Then I’m leaving," Loo Xiyue picked up her bag from the table.

"Mhm." Shen Zhiqiang watched as his wife left.

No sooner had Loo Xiyue stepped out of the ward than the smile on her face vanished, replaced by deep sorrow.

After dealing with the company matters, Loo Xiyue returned home, summoned all of the servants, and handed them each a thick envelope.

Butler Liu, holding the envelope in his hands, asked anxiously, "Madam, what has happened?"

These people had followed the Shen Family from Shanghai City.

For no other reason than,

The Shens were genuinely good people, offered high salaries, and there were no terribly wayward daughters in the house.

Especially the Butler.

He had been working for the Shen Family for about a decade.

Suddenly facing this situation left Butler Liu at a loss.

Loo Xiyue took a deep breath, "Butler Liu, I’m sorry, it’s me, Loo Xiyue who has let everyone down. My husband’s company has gone bankrupt, and we’re about to face a court-ordered seizure of our property, so I’ve given everyone three months’ salary. Please pack up and leave this place as soon as you can."

Upon hearing this, Butler Liu’s face turned pale, "Ma-Madam, you must be joking, right?"

The other servants echoed, "Madam must surely be joking with us."

No one wanted to hear such news.

No one wanted to see the Shen Family in trouble.

"It’s not a joke," Loo Xiyue said grimly, "The local news will publish the company’s bankruptcy soon."

Butler Liu turned pale and looked at Loo Xiyue, "Madam, is there really no hope left?"

"Yes." Loo Xiyue nodded, "You don’t have to call me Madam anymore. We’re no longer in an employer-employee relationship. Uncle Liu, you’re of age now; just call me Xiyue from now on."

"Madam..."

Butler Liu wanted to say more, but Loo Xiyue’s expression was already tired, and she waved her hand, "Everyone, please go."

With that, Loo Xiyue turned towards the stairs.

Yet as soon as she turned around, tears streamed down her face.

Butler Liu stood with the servants, simply watching Loo Xiyue’s departing figure.

The next second, Butler Liu placed the envelope back on the table, "Madam, I will wait for you and sir to rise again. I cannot take this money. I only hope that when you and sir do rise again, you will still let me be the Butler of the Shen Family."

To be human is to have conscience. The Shen Family was so kind to them in their days of glory; now that the Shen Family was in trouble, of course, they couldn’t shamelessly kick them while they were down.

Though the money was not much,

At least their hearts were in it.

"Madam, I don’t want my money either."

"And mine as well."

Hearing this, everyone started placing their envelopes back on the table.

"Madam, we are like Butler Liu. We believe you and sir will rise again. Just let Butler Liu know, and no matter where we are, we’ll come running back right away."

Listening to everyone’s words, Loo Xiyue was rooted to the spot, crying even more bitterly.

After a moment, she turned slightly and bowed to them, "Thank you, thank all of you."

This must be the so-called "true colors shown in adversity."

Butler Liu too, led everyone in bowing to Loo Xiyue, "Please take care, Madam."

Loo Xiyue covered her mouth and nodded.

Not long after, everyone left the Shen Family Villa, leaving the stack of thick envelopes on the table.

By the time Shen Lijun got home,

All the servants were gone.

The house was unusually quiet.

She sensed something was wrong, dropped her schoolbag, "Aunt Zhang? Aunt Wu, are you home?"

There was no response.

Even Xiao Tao, who always made her a bowl of silver fungus and lotus seed soup after school, was nowhere to be seen.

Where had they all gone?

Where were the people?

Not finding anyone downstairs, Shen Lijun went straight upstairs, "Mom! Mom, are you home?"
