Chapter 821 Agreeing to Lend Money
Qinyuan Bay.
Because of her previous argument with Bo Jinyan, Sang Ruo has been focusing more on her children lately, and the person picking them up from school has changed from Uncle Jiang to herself.
Song Linlin and Bo Yukang were visibly happy.
Song Linlin, in particular, hugged Sang Ruo's leg and said, "Auntie Ruo, will you pick me up from school from now on?"
"Of course."
Sang Ruo was naturally happy to grant such a small request.
Song Linlin was so happy she almost jumped for joy. Only Bo Yukang, who was standing to the side, asked with concern, "Mom, aren't you feeling unwell after working so hard for us?"
If he remembered correctly, his mother and uncle had both suffered a lot of injuries before, not to mention that his mother had only been discharged from the hospital not long ago.
He was afraid that if his mother continued to work hard for them, her health might not be able to take it.
Hearing this, Sang Ruo was touched: "Xiao Kang, Mom is fine. You go play with Linlin first."
"Um."
Bo Yukang turned and followed Song Linlin upstairs. Not long after they went upstairs, they heard Acheng report: "Madam, Mr. Xu Chen is outside requesting to see Young Master Bo. What do you think, should we let him see him?"
"Let him in first, I'll go upstairs and tell Ayan."
"OK."
When Acheng went outside to bring Xu Chen in, Sang Ruo had already pulled Bo Jinyan out of the study upstairs.
"What are you doing here?" Bo Jinyan said irritably as soon as he saw his cousin. "Don't you know you're not welcome here?"
Just like last time, he didn't welcome them visiting Lu Nanchu.
If you can't stand each other, then it's better to see each other less often.
To avoid creating so many conflicts that are difficult to handle.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen lost his usual assertive demeanor and stopped arguing with him. Instead, he said dejectedly, "Cousin, that woman Lu Nanchu cut off all my credit cards. Now I don't have a single penny on me..."
"Cousin, please lend me some money!"
If he hadn't truly fallen into a desperate situation, he wouldn't have come to Qinyuan Bay to borrow money from Bo Jinyan!
Think about Xu Chen, when has he ever been short of money?
If he hadn't emigrated with his family overseas back then, he wouldn't have been held hostage by Lu Nanchu when it came to money!
It's like a fishbone stuck in my throat, like a thorn that I can't pull out!
Borrow money?
Upon hearing this, not only Bo Jinyan but even Sang Ruo, who had been standing beside him, was somewhat surprised: "Xu Chen, you haven't come to the wrong place, have you? You should go to a bank to borrow money, why did you think of borrowing from us?"
Not to mention the precarious relationship between the Bo family and the Xu family, even if they were only representing themselves, their relationship would definitely not be good enough for them to lend each other money!
She hadn't forgotten how Xu Chen had argued with her endlessly over Wen Qingyi, and had almost sent her to the police station!
"Sister-in-law, I haven't come to the wrong place. I really have come to borrow money from my cousin!" Xu Chen knew she didn't want to believe him, but how could he believe he was in this situation? "Cousin, it's all because of that damned woman Nan Chu. She cut off all my sources of income. Now I don't have a single penny on me. Please lend me some!"
"I really can't hold on much longer..."
He can no longer afford to drive around and have fun, let alone stay at the Bulgari Hotel where he used to stay!
Once upon a time, these places that were within his reach have now become places he can no longer afford to visit!
All of this was brought to him by Lu Nanchu!
It's all because of that damned woman!
Upon hearing this, Bo Jinyan suddenly laughed out loud, glancing at him sideways: "Can't hold on anymore? You didn't happen to be in contact with Wen Qingyi, and then Lu Nanchu found out, which caused her to cut off all your sources of income, did you?"
Xu Chen didn't speak, but the expression in his eyes said it all.
"Xu Chen, let alone me being your cousin, even a stranger would have to offer something to borrow money from me." Bo Jinyan said calmly, a shrewd glint in his eyes: "But you have almost nothing now, what do you have left to offer me in exchange?"
He's not a philanthropist; he's a businessman, after all. It's impossible for him to lend money without expecting anything in return.
Xu Chen sensed the distance in his words, but considering his current situation, he gritted his teeth and tried to persuade him: "Cousin, what do you want? Just tell me, and I will do everything in my power to satisfy you."
"I want all your shares in Lu's Bank." Bo Jinyan seized the opportunity to make a condition, and said with a half-smile, "Can you meet this condition? If you can, I can lend you money, pay in installments, and the interest is negotiable. How about it?"
"Shares in Lu's Bank?" Xu Chen's expression changed instantly upon hearing this condition: "Cousin, I don't own any shares in Lu's Bank. You know, my father took them all back when he kicked me out of the house..."
But before he could finish speaking, Bo Jinyan abruptly interrupted him, saying, "I know you must have shares in Lu's Bank, otherwise why would your two families have formed a marriage alliance in the first place? If you really want to borrow money from me, then do as I ask."
"Don't try to play tricks on me or get away with this."
His tone even carried a hint of impatience, as if he had run out of patience to continue arguing with him.
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen immediately felt somewhat embarrassed: "Cousin, please don't deliberately make things difficult for me, okay? I'm your own cousin! Can't you lend me some money for Aunt's sake?"
aunt?
How could Xu Chen still have the nerve to mention his mother to him?
"You only remember you're my cousin now? Why didn't you think of that when you helped Wen Qingyi?" Bo Jinyan's face suddenly darkened, and even the air pressure around him seemed to drop a few degrees. "Xu Chen, I'm only willing to lend you money because of our kinship. If you don't want to, you can leave now."
It's him who's short of money, not Bo Jinyan.
He's the one who needs someone's help!
Why are people who need something from others acting so arrogantly?
It's truly both laughable and absurd.
"No! Cousin!" Xu Chen quickly stopped him upon hearing this, "Can you let me think about it first?"
After all, this involves such a significant matter as the shares of Lu's Bank, which is no trivial matter. He needs to calm down and think it over carefully.
Otherwise, if he suffers a loss, he will be the one who gets hurt in the end!
