"But we really can't come up with a single penny of the insurance money from back then."
If he hadn't been so afraid of poverty, he wouldn't have taken the risk of robbing his daughter's house.
Jian Feng wanted to use a self-inflicted injury ruse, saying, "Young Master Lu, you can check; the Jian family really doesn't have much money."
If he had the opportunity, he would have agreed to give it away on the spot, just to ensure his own safety.
Is it really that the Jian family can't come up with the money?
Then what about the mother's insurance money?
Jian Ruoxi's gaze gradually dimmed.
I thought I still had a chance to get it back, but now, looking at the Jian family's situation, it seems they really can't afford it.
"Just because you don't have it doesn't mean others don't." Lu Shen said meaningfully, glancing at Jian Mengyu and Wang Juyue.
Does he mean there's still a chance?
Was the insurance money not used up?
Jian Ruoxi's hope was rekindled, and her eyes were filled with anticipation as she looked at Lu Shen again.
Wang Juyue, fearing Lu Shen's gaze, retreated step by step, hiding behind her daughter.
"I know nothing."
"You don't even know how much money your family has. You're living a really pathetic life."
He wouldn't hold back when it came to this incompetent father-in-law.
Since things had come to this point, he didn't mind giving Jian Feng a little more hint.
"Your second wife should know best whether the insurance money from that time has been used up."
"Oh, by the way, your second daughter should know quite a bit as well."
"If I'm not mistaken, this was probably her suggestion."
Every word Lu Shen spoke made Wang Juyue and Jian Mengyu's hearts sink.
How did he know all this?
Even Jian Feng was unaware that they had secretly hidden some of the money.
Or was it that Lu Shen had been secretly monitoring them all along?
Jian Feng suddenly looked at his wife and daughter beside him, "You still have money, why didn't you say so earlier?"
If they had money, would they still be living in urban villages?
The woman left behind a considerable amount of money after she died; even if only a portion remained, it would be enough for them to move to a new place.
“That money cannot be touched; it is my dowry.”
As soon as Jian Feng started eyeing her share of the money, Jian Mengyu immediately became like a chicken with its feathers standing on end, and loudly rebuked him.
“You’re not of marriageable age yet, why are you preparing a dowry? All the money in the house is mine.”
His usually well-behaved and sensible second daughter had secretly hidden money from him. Wasn't this a direct challenge to his authority as the patriarch?
How could he possibly tolerate this?
Jian Mengyu couldn't listen anymore and blurted out everything she had kept inside for years.
"If I don't plan for myself, am I supposed to rely on you?"
As long as her father has money, he'll definitely squander it all within a month.
“If I don’t save up for my dowry now, I won’t have a single penny when I get married, and I’ll be looked down upon by other people.”
Jian Ruoxi leaned back lazily in her chair, watching the spectacle with amusement.
"Look at this dog-eat-dog show, it's a once-in-a-century spectacle."
No matter how closely they act like a close family, they will immediately reveal their true colors once their own interests are involved.
She had seen through this long ago.
The three people around her looked at her with concern. Although she said those words with a smile, they could all clearly see the endless disappointment in Jian Ruoxi's eyes.
Lu Shen was stung by her smile, and his entire demeanor instantly turned cold.
So, are you going to give it to me or not?
"I don't have that much patience to listen to your nonsense."
He raised his hand to signal the group of bodyguards surrounding the Jian family, and immediately one of them stepped forward, grabbed Jian Feng's arm, and twisted it backward.
"It hurts! Be gentle! Young Master Lu, have mercy!"
He didn't say he wouldn't give it, but the money wasn't in his possession at all, so even if he wanted to, it wouldn't matter.
Lu Jin shrank back awkwardly; his elder brother was furious.
She tried her best to keep a low profile. At this time, apart from the two Ruoxi, anyone who spoke too much would be in trouble!
Judging from this situation, the Jian family wouldn't understand this point.
Jian Feng's body had been twisted into a very strange shape, and he was completely unable to move at all.
"I only need to give one more order, and his hand will be severed."
"When the time comes, you two will hear his screams first. When it's your turn, I believe it won't hurt so much."
"Don't worry, my bodyguards are very experienced in this kind of thing."
What? You want to break his hand?
Jian Feng panicked and kept begging Lu Shen for mercy, "Young Master Lu, please let me go, I will never dare to do it again."
In his haste, his gaze fell upon Jian Ruoxi, who was coldly observing everything.
"Ruoxi, please save your father. I apologize. It's all my fault. Please talk to Young Master Lu and ask him to let me go, okay?"
Only then did he remember to apologize to his daughter.
Should I ask her for help now?
After she was kicked out, she had no connection with the Jian family anymore.
"Dad, you've got the wrong person. The one who can save you now isn't me."
Jian Ruoxi looked at the silent Jian Mengyu and gestured to Jian Feng, "The one with money and the ability to save you is your other daughter."
“I believe you can leave as long as she returns that money to me.”
Lu Shen cooperated with her very well, saying, "Of course, I always keep my word and never go back on my word."
When his life is in danger, someone like Jian Feng won't care about family ties.
He immediately turned his attention to Jian Mengyu.
"Hurry up and hand over the money, do you want your whole family's hands to be crippled?"
Jian Mengyu hesitated.
That was something that could help her gain a foothold in her future husband's family, and she really didn't want to give it up like that.
Lu Shen raised his hand, and the bodyguard increased the force of his grip, causing Jian Feng to howl in pain.
"Next, how about you?"
He pointed at Jian Mengyu, and immediately bodyguards slowly approached her.
Is Lu Shen serious?
He has no chivalry towards women; if he does, it's only towards his older sister.
"Wait, wait a minute, I'll hand it over, I'll hand it all over."
She really didn't want to go back as a cripple.
Her dream of marrying a rich second-generation heir through her own efforts will be shattered.
"If you had just handed it over earlier, all this trouble would have been avoided."
Lu Shen waved to the bodyguards, who immediately dispersed to make way for the Jian family.
"I'll give you one day to give the remaining insurance money to Ruoxi."
"Don't even think about keeping some for yourself. No one can keep what I want to know from me."
Jian Mengyu nodded in fear; she had truly witnessed how terrifying this Young Master Lu was today.
They broke his arm without hesitation or sympathy.
But if you were lucky enough to be protected by someone like that, you would probably say you're happy.
