Song Sao had worked for the Su family for many years.

Ever since the accident, Su Yehao frequently saw this skilled cook at the Su family mansion near Bishop's Hill. Her wok skills were comparable to many professional chefs.

Seeing her animated expression, he could tell that Song Sao was thoroughly enjoying this juicy gossip.

Su Yehao was also enjoying the drama.

He had underestimated the thickness of his fourth concubine's skin. He naively thought that using the money his old man gave her to find some third-rate Hong Kong male star was her limit.

Who knew that now that she had run out of money and was in debt, she would have the gall to come back and ask his old man to bail her out?

When the fourth concubine first left, she immediately got together with a somewhat famous male model in Hong Kong. The news was exposed by the media, causing Su's father to lose face. It seemed things had turned quite unpleasant.

Ten million Singapore dollars was not a small sum.

Su Yehao wasn't very familiar with Singapore currency, but he vaguely remembered that it was worth about forty or fifty million Hong Kong dollars, enough to buy a large but not-so-beautiful house on the Peak.

With proper investment, that forty or fifty million Hong Kong dollars could easily become four or five hundred million in the future.

Rounding it up, it was like losing two or three billion Hong Kong dollars!

How could he tolerate that?

After questioning Song Sao, he learned many details.

For example, the fourth concubine was being chased for debt and had apparently been locked up and photographed. Also, the woman wasn't very bright and had agreed to an exorbitant interest rate, much higher than even the infamous "nine out of thirteen back."

It seemed the second concubine had been complaining to Song Sao and others, giving Su Yehao a rough understanding of the situation.

He had to admit, with the second concubine's genuine concern for the Su family, it was no wonder she was the only one left.

Compared to the former fourth concubine, even the third concubine, who had immigrated abroad to live a leisurely life with her money, seemed much smarter…

After the nanny Song Sao finished speaking, she tentatively suggested:

"Young Master, the Second Mistress went to talk to that canary. I was there to help keep order. She scolded her fiercely, but that woman is shameless now, treating the Master like a drowning person clings to a straw. If those photos of the Fourth Mistress are published, it will be a disgrace to the Master and you. Do you think we should inform the First Mistress and discuss a plan?"

He rarely heard the term "First Mistress."

Su Yehao was puzzled for a moment before realizing it was referring to his mother.

Having his mother intervene would indeed lead to her scolding his father, reducing the possibility of the old man giving in to sentimentality and becoming a sucker.

However, Su Yehao also knew that his father was still hoping to rekindle the relationship, so it was best not to let his mother hear about these troublesome matters, to avoid adding fuel to the fire and making things more complicated.

Ten million Singapore dollars.

Not too much, not too little.

Although the Su family could definitely afford it, Su Yehao didn't think there was any reason for his family to pay it.

Ever since the fourth concubine, who had been secretly kept outside, chose to leave Su's father, she had severed all ties with his family.

Su Yehao scratched his head and replied, "Is my dad in Casino, 1997? I'll go talk to him first and then decide what to do, unless she's got some leverage over him?"

"I haven't heard anything about that. Even if there was, they wouldn't tell me."

Song Sao sighed softly and continued:

"The Master was still at home this morning, so he shouldn't have gone far, or he would have had us pack his luggage. But you never know, you can buy anything outside. He has a whole box of razors, and he's often too lazy to bring them. I don't think the Master wants to give her money either. He said this morning that he would tell the hotel security not to let that canary in again."

Su Yehao nodded, not saying much more.

After quickly checking out the hotel-style luxury apartment, he took the fresh matsutake mushrooms in the cooler box, got in the car, and called his father to ask where he was.

After briefly considering it, he had a few preliminary measures in mind, such as severing all ties, reporting the former fourth concubine to the police to prevent her from harassing them, or finding a lawyer to completely dissuade her from trying to get money from his family.

In the end, it all depended on Su's father's attitude.

If he showed no sentimentality and could remain as detached as Su Yehao, then no matter how much the woman cried, they wouldn't have to pay a single cent.

After all, there was no marriage, no children, and no obligation to help her pay off debts.

...

He continued to the Sihai International headquarters, and from the moment he entered, people kept greeting Su Yehao.

He took the elevator upstairs and found his father in the president's office.

Su Yehao cut to the chase, teasing him to his face:

"Your skills are still lacking. Just because ginger is old doesn't mean it's spicy. You actually got played by a woman? If you give her this money, I'll laugh at you for at least seven or eight years. Have you forgotten how the fourth concubine just walked away, and how the tabloids wrote about you?"

Su's father, who had been happy, instantly froze and asked blankly, "The news got out already? It's reached your ears?!"

"Don't worry about how I found out. As long as that woman doesn't have any leverage, I can help you. Someone who's a great romantic might not have the heart to do it, but I don't care at all. It's not easy to earn money at home all year round, so don't waste it all. Even donating the money would be better than paying off gambling debts."

Being teased by his own son.

Su's father immediately glared at him and said:

"I'm using my own experience to teach you a lesson. You have to keep your eyes open when looking for women. Our family has always been doing business honestly, and we pay our taxes no matter how painful it is. She's never been involved in the company's business, so what leverage can she have over me?"

"Tsk... that's true."/

Sitting by the desk, Su Yehao continued to ask: "Do you need my help with anything? Otherwise, you can go hide in the mainland for a while, and come back after I've settled things?"

He thought his father would say no, but he actually seized the opportunity, nodding and saying:

"Alright, you've always disliked Susan anyway, so it's better for you to handle this than me. She owes money, right? We can just help her send her back to her hometown, hide from the creditors and never show her face again. Since they dared to lend her money, they have to bear the risk of losing it. Besides, the money owed at the gambling table is just a number anyway."

"Okay then, last time Shanghai invited me to get some land, you can take my plane and go play there for a few days."

Su Yehao said as he hesitated, adding:

"Hiding her outside is an option, but it's best if we don't get involved ourselves. We'll find someone to help us later. It mainly depends on what she wants to do. If she contacts old friends and leaves clues, or is reluctant to leave and gets found by the creditors again, it will be troublesome."

Su's father shook his head and said with a smile:

"If she doesn't pay back the money, she'll be thrown into the river soon. Only a fool wouldn't run. There's no way I'm helping her pay back the money. It's already benevolent of me to give her a hand. If there's a next time, it's none of my business..."
