Chapter 10: The son pays for the father’s debt, and you still want to evade responsibility?
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Chen Jinyue went to the tax bureau to pay taxes, then went to pick someone up, and then went to his second uncle's house.
"Professor Yan is very pleased that you finally chose to seek legal help." The man was gentle and elegant, and spoke to Chen Jinyue with a chuckle.
"It all happened so suddenly, and I was caught off guard."
Chen Jinyue sat in the passenger seat, feeling a little reserved. "But I'm really sorry to bother you with such a small matter."
She contacted Professor Yan last night and asked him to help introduce a reliable lawyer.
But she didn't expect that Professor Yan would directly introduce a big shot to her, the well-known Chang Hongbo in the provincial capital.
Best at handling property disputes.
The success rate of the cases he handled was as high as 99 percent.
"It's not a problem. You're Professor Yan's favorite student, and President Zhou also specifically instructed me to do so."
"Mr. Zhou?"
Chen Jinyue was a little confused.
Chang Hongbo turned his head and glanced at her. "Zhou Yichuan, did you say he was your client?"
Chen Jinyue, “…”
She didn't remember that she or Chen Jianguo had a big client named Zhou.
Oh yes, when we were talking about the bracelet pendant yesterday, the teacher tried to extort money from Mr. Qian and seemed to have mentioned a man named Zhou.
He also said that the photo had been sent to that person...
Could it be that the man took a fancy to what she had and became her potential customer?
Twenty minutes later.
The car drove into an old residential area.
The Chen family was eagerly waiting, and when they saw the two people at the door, their expressions were a little subtle.
Chen Jinyue's second aunt was quick-witted and mean. "Oh! Our Jinyue is so promising, a rich man on the list? He looks like a social elite. You're lucky that they haven't abandoned you yet!"
"Long time no see, Second Aunt is still as foul-mouthed as ever. It's your blessing that my Second Uncle didn't beat you to death all these years."
Chen Jinyue didn't tolerate her at all and didn't give her face as usual.
Second Aunt's expression suddenly changed. "You silly girl, your deadbeat dad is dead, and you still dare to be so sharp-tongued! Believe it or not, I'll rip your mouth apart!"
"You called me back today just to have a fight?" Chen Jinyue was not very patient.
“…”
As soon as these words came out, Second Aunt was choked.
Everyone in the room exchanged glances, and it was Grandpa who spoke first, holding his head high. "Enough, how can you start arguing when a family meets? You, second son's wife, you know Zhaodi is upset because of the factory work these days, yet you keep talking nonsense!"
Second Aunt opened her mouth to refute, but Second Uncle glared at her and she immediately shut up.
Chen Jinyue and Lawyer Chang entered the house and sat down in the small living room.
"This is... Zhaodi. Would you like to introduce her?" Grandpa's shrewd eyes fell on Lawyer Chang.
Chen Jinyue's face was grim as he stared at the old man in front of him, obviously enduring to the extreme.
The other person smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, Jinyue! Chen Jinyue, right? This kid, he's become stupid from studying! He doesn't want such a lucky name, but insists on changing it himself! Look at what he changed it to?"
The next words he said were addressed to Lawyer Chang, his tone was familiar and intimate, and he had obviously misunderstood the other party's identity.
After all, it's obvious!
If no one helps, how can this girl make a living with that pile of fake antiques?
Lawyer Chang has seen countless people, and Professor Yan had given him a heads-up before he came, so he was not surprised by this situation.
He pushed his glasses up on his nose and spoke in a light voice.
"The long road ahead is as hard as iron, yet we are now beginning to cross it. The word 'Jin Yue' must come from this. Mr. Chen still wants to live in the present, otherwise he would have perished long ago."
“…”
The smile on the old man's face froze.
Was he answering him or mocking him?
How rude this young man is!
Chen Jinyue glanced at Lawyer Chang with gratitude, then said, "Let's get down to business. This is Lawyer Chang. Let's have a good talk today about my father's will."
"Lawyer?" Second Uncle looked at her warily, "Why did you bring a lawyer here? Are you trying to draw a line between you and us?"
Those who couldn't wait to separate from her a few days ago now seem to be extremely afraid and want to draw a clear line between themselves and her.
"Cousin, when uncle was alive, we were like family! When he got into trouble, we sold our house to pay off his debts! Now that you've inherited the factory and made a lot of money, you want to get rid of us, your relatives who shared our hardships?"
My cousin who just started college also spoke up hurriedly, questioning in a bad tone.
Her uncle had always paid for her schooling, but now that he was dead, her parents asked her to find a way out on her own.
What can a girl like her do?
She can only rely on Chen Jinyue to inherit the factory and continue to support her!
Second Aunt was furious when she heard this. "What a heartless person! I told you I should have torn up her admission letter. The little girl is becoming more and more selfish after reading so many books!"
The cousin's face turned pale and she was nervous and uneasy. She could only glare at Chen Jinyue with even more anger.
They were all certain that Chen Jinyue was making money now and wanted to distance himself from them.
Chen Jinyue understood and laughed out loud, "So you're even more dissatisfied with my father's estate distribution than I am? Perfect! The lawyer is here, let's renegotiate and ensure fairness and justice!"
As a family, you look at me and I look at you.
I didn't expect her to give in so easily.
"Tell me first, how much money did you earn yesterday!" Grandpa spoke first with the airs of the head of the family.
Chen Jinyue simply said, "No income."
Second Aunt was the first to shout, "How is that possible? They said you got your salary! And you even met with a big client!"
"If I didn't pay the money, I wouldn't be able to leave the factory. Grandpa, you know that, right?" Chen Jinyue looked at the so-called head of the family sarcastically.
The old man looked a little uneasy, but he still asked persistently, "How do you get the money to pay the wages if you don't have any income?"
"I borrowed two million from my teacher and paid him a portion of his salary first. Strictly speaking, this two million debt is also considered part of the inheritance, so it has to be included in the division..."
Second Uncle stood up suddenly, "Chen Jinyue, are you kidding me? I want to divide the property, not the debt!"
Chen Jinyue looked at him coldly, "But my father's inheritance is only debts! Chen Jie took away all the savings. Don't you know?"
The air suddenly became quiet.
Of course everyone knows this.
But they couldn't believe that this damn girl could actually come up with the money yesterday.
They thought she had found some way to make money...
"My cousin said we're as close as family, and she's right! The big house that my second uncle's family sold was bought by my dad! My dad arranged jobs for my second uncle and second aunt! Even my cousin's schooling was paid for by my dad!"
"Now that my father is bankrupt and in debt, shouldn't you, as a family, bear some of the responsibility for him?"
"Why? You guys, who are as close as family, are unwilling to take on the responsibility, and you want me to take it all on my own?"
"I applied for a student loan to pay for my university tuition. Because I didn't want to ask for anything from Peking University and brought Chen Jie to Peking University, they didn't give me a cent for living expenses..."
Chen Jinyue's voice unconsciously rose, and her eyes became red when she mentioned the grievances of the past.
No one would believe it if she told others that the people who made things so difficult for her were actually her biological parents.
They treated their niece better than their own daughter.
Second Aunt rolled her eyes and said, "Your father has already made a will. Anyway, the factory and the debt are yours. Don't even think about blaming us!"
Grandma, who was listening, felt something was wrong. "That's right! A son must pay for his father's debts. Are you still trying to evade responsibility?"
