Chapter 162 Compensation
"Since you have made the decision, I respect you." Xu Wanshan agreed with Xu Qingsui's idea from the bottom of his heart, so he cooperated very well and recommended the head of a large museum to her.
Xu Qingsui contacted them on a weekday, and then signed and donated all the collections of the Xu family stored in the Lu family.
On that day, the person in charge led the team to the Lu family’s gate.
At this time, Lu Jingyu was running around, looking for a way to rescue the old man. After all, the old man was still his grandfather.
But unfortunately, for some reason, all the relationships he had established before were no longer effective this time. Those people all avoided him. Lu Jingyu ran around several times but didn't meet a single useful person, let alone ask anyone to do something for him.
At this moment, he was furious at home. Gu Rong watched all this coldly without saying a word.
When the museum director arrived, he saw a mess on the floor, including some antique vases that had been placed in the living room, which were also broken into pieces. The director's heart was bleeding.
"You are Lu Jingyu, right?" the person in charge asked with a dark face.
"Yeah, who are you and why are you in my house?" Lu Jingyu asked angrily and confusedly.
Xu Qingsui walked up from behind the crowd and said, "This is the person in charge of the museum. I have donated all the Xu family's collections to the country. Master Lu, please hand the things over to the staff."
Lu Jingyu stared at Xu Qingsui: "What do you mean yours? Your grandfather said that those collections were given to my grandfather. You have no right to deal with them. They all belong to our Lu family. Why should I hand them over!"
That's all money, how could Lu Jingyu be willing to give it up?
Moreover, his grandfather had told him that no matter what happened, he must not hand over the collection.
"You said that this batch of collections was donated to your family by Mr. Xu. Can you prove it?" the person in charge asked seriously.
Lu Jingyu was speechless at the time. Of course there was no evidence. The reason why he dared to be so confident was that he relied on the power of his family.
But no matter how powerful their family is, they are not bigger than the law.
Xu Qingsui said, "At the beginning, my grandfather asked your family to keep it, but he never promised to give it to you. Many people can take charge of this matter, especially my uncle Yang Yuanming, who is a participant in this matter. My grandfather also clearly stated that if he and grandmother are gone, the only person who can decide whether this batch of collections should be kept or not is me."
"Yes, Mr. Lu, I have already confirmed this matter. If you don't hand over the collection, we can only enforce it through legal procedures." The person in charge said uprightly.
Seeing how difficult this group of people were, Lu Jingyu also began to panic. Now that the Lu family no longer had Grandpa Lu in charge, he became a man without a backbone.
If grandpa was here, he wouldn't have to solve these problems. He would just have to eat, drink and have fun.
Just when Lu Jingyu was at a loss, Gu Rong stood up and said, "Hand over, we will hand over everything that belongs to the Xu family."
Lu Jingyu turned his head suddenly and glared at Gu Rong fiercely.
Before he could lose his temper, Gu Rong walked up to him and whispered, "Master Lu, a man of insight is a wise man. What we want is money. Now you have everything in the Lu family. There is no need to confront the people above you. If this matter goes through the legal process, these collections will still have to be handed over. It is better to return them now and leave a good reputation."
Gu Rong's words convinced Lu Jingyu.
Although he was unwilling, he had to obey in the face of absolute evidence and strength.
Helpless, he could only instruct the Lu family's nanny and security guard to find all the collections that had been stored by the Xu family and hand them over to the museum staff.
Xu Qingsui has a list of collections in her hand. This list was given to her by her grandfather when he was dying. The purpose was to have a comparison when the collections were to be taken back one day.
Xu Qingsui counted and compared the list with the actual items. It was not a big deal to count, but she found that twenty or thirty items were missing. Some of them were in her hands because Huo Xilin had helped her bid for them when Mr. Lu was auctioning them.
But as for the rest, Xu Qingsui didn't intend to let it go.
So she asked Lu Jingyu: "Master Lu, do you want to find out these missing ones as well?"
Lu Jingyu was too guilty to look into Xu Qingsui’s eyes and stammered, “No…it’s gone.”
"I'm sorry, you have to compensate for it according to the price if you lost it." Xu Qingsui said coldly.
"Why?" Lu Jingyu immediately jumped up. He knew the value of this thing better than anyone else. Apart from the two antique vases that were broken in the hall just now, the rest were some small ornaments. Although they were small, they were valuable.
Whenever Lu Jingyu was short of money, he would steal some inconspicuous little items from the old man's collection and sell them on the black market. He could make a lot of money every time, and this money could allow him to squander for several months. Most of the money for the luxury car he bought and the mansion he bought for his woman came from this.
Therefore, he knew the value of these items better than anyone else, and asking him to pay the money suddenly would be more painful than cutting his flesh.
Xu Qingsui was too lazy to explain to Lu Jingyu, so he told the person in charge directly, and then evaluated the market price. The overall amount was several billion. Xu Qingsui didn't say much, and directly held the bill in front of him: "Master Lu, are you going to pay for this money or not?"
The amount on the bill made him feel dizzy. Although he knew that the black market merchants were cruel, he didn't expect them to be so cruel. The money he sold was less than one fifth of the amount on the bill.
"No compensation!" he said firmly.
Xu Qingsui nodded calmly. Seeing the bill was put away, he said, "Okay, then I can only sue you. With such a large sum of money, if I sue you for the crime of misappropriating other people's property and privately selling antiques, you should be able to go to the police station for a while, right? It just so happens that Grandpa Lu is old, so it's good for you, his grandson, to go in and show your filial piety and accompany him."
Her words instantly made Lu Jingyu's face pale. After paying the compensation, there was still some money left over from the property that Grandpa Lu had transferred to Gu Rong's account. He could still afford to pay it if he gritted his teeth. It was better than going to jail.
After thinking through the pros and cons, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll go with you!"
On the same day, the museum staff moved all of the Xu family's collections away from the Lu family. Under the witness of a lawyer, Lu Jingyu compensated Xu Qingsui with a large sum of money. From then on, the financial issues between the two families were settled.
When leaving the Lu family, Lu Jingyu said to her viciously: "Xu Qingsui, just wait, everything you did to the Lu family will be punished!"
