Chapter 169 It's all over
The person in front of me is completely different from the one in my memory. His hair has turned a lot greyer and he looks older.
Not as decent and glorious as before.
Zou Jun and his family rushed over almost immediately, and when they saw Chen You questioning,
"You are really something, Chen You! No matter how much trouble one of our own family members makes, it is still a family matter. Yet you want to put your own uncle in jail!"
"Are you worthy of your mother?! Have you forgotten how good your uncle and aunt were to you when you were little? They just owed your family hundreds of thousands, and you did something like this? Where is your conscience?!"
This was at the Municipal Police Station. They only dared to talk and did not dare to take a single step forward in the face of the police's warning eyes.
"I haven't forgotten." Chen You said word by word.
Looking at her second uncle who was avoiding her gaze, when the day finally came, instead of the excited questioning as she had imagined, she was unusually calm.
"I have never denied that as a relative, you were indeed nice to me back then. When my aunt was around, you brought me gifts every time you went out. When my head teacher at school targeted me, you called him to support me."
"But, we should have repaid all these favors. The first time we borrowed money, it was for my tuition to study abroad. Later, you took your son away. My parents guaranteed us, and you ran away. Have you ever thought about our life and death when the bank came to our door?"
Second uncle raised his head, his lips moving without saying anything, but Chen You knew that even if he felt guilty, he did not regret doing so.
In the face of their own interests, what does her, their niece, and her mother, their biological sister, mean? Most people will choose themselves.
Chen You looked at Zou Jun and responded rudely, "You are the one who has no right to speak! You spend your money on wine and women with the creditors' money. Do you have a conscience? Is your attitude towards creditors outside the same?"
After saying this, he turned his gaze back and said very seriously,
"Uncle, the biggest setback I've encountered in the past twenty years happened right in your house."
No one spoke again. After a long while, my second uncle whispered, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyou."
He had a smooth first half of his life and was a well-known figure in the small county town. People gave him face wherever he went.
Now his face was dull and his eyes were filled with tears, and he looked like he was apologizing. Shen You was stunned when she saw him.
She took a deep breath and smiled self-deprecatingly, "You're too late. If you hadn't been in the police station, you wouldn't have apologized to me."
"I have no other intention in coming here today. I know that my family's money cannot be recovered, and there are no assets in your name that can be executed."
Chen You continued, "You and your son are both here, so I'll make it clear today. I can let go of the money, but from now on, let's not talk about relatives between us, just treat us as strangers."
"If you come to bother me and my mom and dad again, I won't be polite either."
In front of them, Chen You blocked all their contact information and left the family group.
She had already completed the procedures at the police station and didn't want to see these people again.
Now that my second uncle is in jail, he won’t be able to get out in a short time. Three generations of his family will be affected, and the transferred properties must be dug out. The bank alone will not let them off.
But none of this has anything to do with her anymore. She did trick the person out, but the other party also lied to her and said he would pay her back.
Just as Chen You turned around, an urgent voice came from behind.
"I didn't want this to happen! I thought I could turn the tables, so I could return the money to you and compensate your family financially, but who knows."
Maybe he really thought so, but transferring property and running away, as well as what his family did, were also true.
Chen You didn't look back, just walked out of the door of the city police station and rubbed his itchy eyes.
To her now, hundreds of thousands of dollars are indeed not that important, but she just can't accept it. She always wonders why, her family is in debt, her tuition fees are gone, but her cousin can still drive a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars out to have fun.
"Are you okay?" Wen Zhi looked at her slightly red eyes, and his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and finally he let it go.
"It's okay." Chen You raised his head.
"Aren't you crying?"
Wen Zhi turned his head to look at Chen You's face, his tone more cautious than ever before.
"Who's crying?" Chen You was stunned. "My eyes are itchy. I played games all night yesterday and didn't sleep well this morning."
She admitted that she was not happy to send her elder in with her own hands, but her eyes were really itchy, so she didn't cry.
When she first learned that her second uncle had run away, she was so angry that she cried. That was because her family was in debt of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and for her who was attending college at the time, it was like the sky falling.
"I just came here and saw a pharmacy in front. You go to the car and wait for me first." Wen Zhi watched her get in the car and hurried to the front to pick her up.
A few minutes later, he came back with a box of eye drops.
Chen You opened the portable mirror and took the plastic bag, "I can do it myself."
I put two drops of eye drops and it finally healed. It's still a little red from rubbing it just now.
After she was done, Wen Zhi started the car and slowly drove out of the parking space.
"Is today your birthday?" he suddenly asked.
"How do you know?" Chen You was stunned. She had never told any of her friends, only her family knew about it.
Wen Zhi coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Lu told me about the business situation of Xilu Bookstore the day before yesterday."
Chen You nodded. Xiao Lu had helped her with so many things. He had seen her ID card and passport, so it was normal for him to remember the birthday on them.
On my birthday, I went to the police station once and the municipal police station again, and I personally sent my second uncle in.
It really is a very different day.
"Is there any place you want to go? Or anything you want to eat?" Wen Zhi pursed his lips.
She's obviously in a bad mood, would it be inappropriate to give her a gift now?
When he asked Xiao Lu what kind of gifts girls like for their birthdays, Xiao Lu replied:
“Flowers, cosmetics, cars, jewelry, but Miss Shen would probably prefer antiques, but she has a lot of them herself, and she can buy these things whenever she wants, so she still has to be careful.”
It seems like he said it, but it also seems like he didn’t.
Xiao Lu said he was single, but it wasn’t very clear.
"Let me see if there's anything delicious." Chen You opened his phone, checked the local guide, looked around, and finally located a restaurant in the ancient town, a scenic spot by Nanhu Lake.
"How about going here?"
"good."
Wen Zhi turned the steering wheel and drove through the intersection. Chen You cleared all the unimportant messages on her phone and saw Yu Xiaosu, who used a cat avatar, and three other people who had sent her blessing messages.
"The gifts are all in the studio, I won't bother you anymore!"
Later, her parents sent her a video saying that they had arrived on the island and that the sea view room was beautiful. They would bring her something when they returned.
Chen You replied to everyone with a smile. She told everyone in the studio that she would treat them to a big dinner tomorrow, and told her parents that she was also on her way to dinner with friends.
It was all over, and she couldn't let the past affect her mood anymore.
