Chapter 168 Birthday Storm

The two were silent for a moment and did not continue the topic.

The people came back, and they didn't believe that Chen You would do anything too much in front of his parents.

I wanted to draw a line between myself and them before, and I didn't even want to see them in person, but now I'm coming out.

"Let's not talk about that for now. We know it's not a small matter, so we want to discuss it with you. Let your second uncle go home first, and we will pay you back slowly in the future."

Cousin Zou Jun slowed down his tone, perhaps because he was used to taking things for granted, and there was no sign of begging on his face.

Cousin Tang Rou stared at the double-loop jade bracelet on Chen You's left hand. She had been looking at it since Chen You entered the room, from being uncertain to figuring out the trick.

"Xiaoyou, is this the real thing? It should cost at least two or three hundred thousand."

If you can afford to buy such a good thing, you can't just watch your loved ones die without helping them.

When he heard this number, my cousin's expression froze for a moment. He looked over and felt very uncomfortable, as if Chen Youhua had taken the money from his pocket.

Thinking about the purpose of coming here today, I suppressed my dissatisfaction and continued to play the emotional card.

"They say that your mother's uncle is the most important, and your aunt is still here. Do you want to watch your second uncle being away from home and unable to return?"

The couple looked at Shen’s mother, Zou Yujing.

"That's it? Is this what you said, come and celebrate my birthday today?"

Chen You seemed to have heard a joke, "He has no home to return to. Is it my fault? Is it me who made him owe money?"

Tang Rou wanted to speak, but Chen You didn't give her the chance.

"And you, I have tolerated you for a long time. I told my mother every day that my cousin was not doing well and the Zou family had wronged you. When your mother's family took advantage of you, why didn't you feel wronged?"

"You didn't know what kind of person he was before you got married? You don't want to get a divorce, so don't talk like my mom owes you something? Your relatives are sincere to you, but what about you? They really stab you."

Tang Rou's face turned pale and blue. Zou Yujing looked at Chen You weakly, signaling her to stop talking. It would be embarrassing if people around heard her making such a fuss.

Chen You didn't care. He was the creditor, so why should he be afraid of being embarrassed?

"What's the point of you talking about these things now?" Zou Jun finally couldn't pretend anymore.

"Chen You, you are a well-known person in the outside world. You are so heartless to your own family. Do you think it will sound good if it is told to others? Then we will stand in front of the display case with your name on it in the museum and take a video!"

Just as he finished speaking, a bell rang outside the door.

Chen You took out her cell phone, which had been on a call with her aunt.

The people were already rushing over, and the wheels of the car were almost smoking.

The Shen family is not a good family either, but they definitely don’t want to see Chen You giving so much money to his second uncle’s family.

Look at the excellent matching mechanism in her house.

As soon as the door opened, my aunt came in with her hands on her hips and spoke to my cousin and his wife, fearing that it would be too late.

"I'm not saying this, but you guys are going too far. Who would ask a cousin to fill the hole when they owe money? Even a biological sister wouldn't be able to ask for this."

My aunt has always had a good voice, and the neighbors outside are all watching the show.

"Just now you said you wanted to embarrass Xiaoyou? You think there is no one left in our Shen family?" The cousin slammed the table, "Go if you have the guts, reveal your bad deeds and see whose reputation is ruined."

"What are you pretending to be!" Zou Jun stood up angrily, "It's all about money! Don't pretend to be a good person."

After just three sentences, the conflict escalated into a physical one. Both men punched each other, their faces turning red with anger.

Seeing that her son was at a disadvantage, the aunt cried and shouted loudly. Finally, the neighbors called the police. They were all taken to the police station and behaved themselves.

In this chaotic scene, the ones who suffered the most were Shen's father and mother.

It was their daughter’s birthday and the two families had such a quarrel that neither they nor anyone else could say anything.

"I'll take care of it, you guys don't have to go." Chen You said this when she left. This was the only request she made to her parents, that no one else should interfere.

When they arrived at the police station, both sides were scolded, and the police looked at Chen You with sympathy.

I heard that this is a collector who donated national treasures. What a good person! How could he have such a relative?

My aunt was still shouting, "Police comrades, you have to stand up for us. How could this happen? Zou Jun came to our house and threatened to ask for money. We spoke up for our family, but he wanted to attack us! This is robbery!"

Tang Rou also raised her voice, "We are here to celebrate Xiaoyou's birthday. We are a family and should discuss things together. What do you mean by threatening? Don't talk nonsense, old man."

The police have seen all kinds of things, and they have their own rules on how to deal with things. It's not something that can be solved by just a few words from anyone.

Since both sides are relatives, neither of them wanted to be detained, so they each took a step back and just mediated and educated the situation.

Seeing that neither side got what they wanted, Chen You smiled slightly. She hadn't had time to say anything just now.

"My second uncle contacted my mother and sent me a message yesterday, and then I called the police."

She said that for her mother's sake, she could help him one last time, but she really couldn't come up with that much cash right now.

It took some effort to make him believe it, and Chen You used the same tricks used in the antique circle to set up a trap.

Some time ago, the houses and cars under Zou Jun and others’ names were seized. When people are anxious, they are likely to reveal their flaws.

She didn't want to cheat anyone out of money, she just wanted to get her second uncle back to Jiangcheng.

Facing Zou Jun's bloodshot expression, Chen You turned around and went out, returned to the community where her parents lived, and sent them on a plane to the southern island that afternoon.

They had originally planned to spend the winter there, and if it wasn't for Chen You's birthday, they would have gone there two days ago.

Chen You paid a month's room fee for the high-end hotel there, and when the old couple got off the plane, the hotel sent a car to pick them up.

"Xiaoyou, why don't we just not go. Your birthday has turned out like this." Mother Shen said.

"It's okay. I'll feel more at ease if you go."

She had never told her parents anything. Fortunately, her parents had grown colder towards those people and should have guessed something, but they just tacitly agreed not to mention it.

She also gave up the rented house and prepared to move to a new place, so one must always be on guard against others.

Chen You had just returned home when she received another call from the police.

Her car was still charging. She walked out of the alley, looked at the people in the car parked on the side of the road, and opened the passenger door.

Half an hour ago, Wen Zhi sent a message asking her where she was, so this scene happened.

On the way, her cousin and his wife called her frantically, sent her messages, and questioned her in the group.

The messages flashed so quickly that Shen You didn’t even read them. She only replied to the message from her distant relative who was also a member of the Debt Collector Alliance.

People from my hometown are rushing to Jiangcheng, and everyone wants their money back.

But Chen You knew that this was impossible because the assets were not enough to cover the debts.

"How about I go in with you?" Wen Zhi suggested.

Shen You shook her head and said softly, “No need.”

Over the past few years, she had imagined many times the scene of the other party being caught and returning the money, as if that would make her feel better.

But there were many nights when I couldn't sleep because I was so angry and helpless.
