Chapter 834 Pleading with Xu Yi
“Xiao Ruo, you understand me best.” Bo Jin reached out and took her small hand in his, a dark glint in his eyes that was hard to decipher. “However, since Uncle dared to treat me like this this time, I don’t need to hold back.”
At this moment, Sang Ruo knew that A Yan would never show mercy to the Xu family again.
It's just a pity, such a good opportunity.
...
The next morning, at the Xu family villa.
"Master, the young master is back."
Xu Chen is back?
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi's expression darkened slightly: "Let him in."
"yes."
The butler quickly brought Xu Chen in and then tactfully withdrew from the main hall.
"Dad, please help me this time. I accidentally sold the shares of Lu's Bank. I didn't mean to. Now my cousin is asking me to pay back the money early, but I don't have the money. Dad, only you can save me now." Xu Chen pleaded pitifully as soon as he entered the door.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi did not stop playing with the Buddhist prayer beads in his hand, and said with a half-smile, "Accident? Xu Chen, do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I don't know anything?"
Hmph! What a careless mistake!
He accidentally sold his shares in Lu's Bank, so he wants Lu to come up with over 100 million yuan out of thin air to help him pay off his debts?
Dream on!
"Dad?" Xu Chen was momentarily confused about his father's thoughts, but his eyes betrayed a hint of evasion: "What do you mean by that? I don't understand."
Could it be that Dad already knows something? That's impossible. He didn't tell Dad. How did Dad find out about this?
Could it be that Bo Jinyan came to our house demanding money?
Just as he was wondering, Xu Yi suddenly spoke up: "You were planning to sell your and Lu Nanchu's marital home in New York for Wen Qingyi, but Lu Nanchu found out and, in a fit of anger, cut off all your credit cards. That's why you went to Bo Jinyan to borrow money when you were broke..."
"Unexpectedly, Bo Jinyan demanded the shares you held, and you had no choice but to sign a loan agreement for five million with him..." He paused, then couldn't help but ask, "Am I right?"
Xu Chen hadn't expected Xu Yi to know so much about his situation. His expression suddenly changed: "Dad, since you know everything, please help me and lend me some money! As long as I can pay back the money I owe my cousin, I will work hard to pay you back!"
As he spoke, he suddenly bent his knees and knelt down in front of Xu Yi, his head bowed, looking like a child who had done something wrong. He looked pitiful and evoked a lot of sympathy.
However, Xu Yi felt no sympathy for him whatsoever.
"Lend me some money?" Xu Yi murmured these words repeatedly, a hint of amusement in his eyes: "Xu Chen, do you know how much I'll lose if I help you pay off your debts? Do you even know what Bo Jinyan wants?"
Xu Chen looked up, a hint of confusion in his eyes: "Dad, it's just a loan agreement for five million. He only wants me to pay back five million! Five million is nothing to you, isn't it?"
What difficulty is there in coming up with five million?
"Five million my ass!" Xu Yi slammed his fist on the table in front of Xu Chen, veins bulging on his forehead, a clear indication of his rage. "He asked for fifty million US dollars! A full fifty million US dollars! If the Lu family hadn't been willing to split that fifty million US dollars, do you know how much money I would have lost right now?!"
"And now you actually have the nerve to ask me to pay off your debts?! Do you really think my money grows on trees? Over a hundred million yuan just vanished like that, and I'm not even heartbroken?!"
Even though the Xu family is a wealthy family in Beijing, everything he has has been earned through hard work since he moved overseas!
Without his youthful drive, how could the Xu family have prospered as it is today?
As it turns out, this brat asked for his help with hundreds of millions of dollars!
Hundreds of millions of dollars!
This is no small sum of money, yet he described it so casually!
How could he not be angry?
Xu Chen was startled by his father's sudden slamming of the table and didn't dare to move. After what seemed like an eternity, he cautiously asked, "Dad, didn't I only owe my cousin five million? Why do I have to pay back so much when I repay the money? Did my cousin threaten you?"
Is there something he doesn't know?
It's true that he sold his shares in Lu's Bank, but he was truly desperate and had no other choice but to come up with this solution!
Who would have thought that he only owed his cousin five million, but ended up having to pay back so much money?
How is this any different from usury?
"He didn't threaten me, it was your father-in-law who threatened me!" Xu Yi became even angrier when the matter was mentioned: "It was your father-in-law who proposed that the fifty million US dollars be split equally between the two families, with each family paying back half! Because of you, you unfilial son, I have to lose so much money!"
"Moreover, your father-in-law said that if you don't repay this money and take back the shares of Lu's Bank that have been leaked, your engagement with Lu Nanchu will be dissolved!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen staggered and fell to the ground, too shocked to recover for a long time.
It wasn't until this moment that he understood why his cousin Bo Jinyan, who had always been harsh on him, was suddenly so kind and willing to lend him five million!
This was all a trap set by my cousin from the very beginning! He deliberately offered help because he saw that Wen Qingyi was short of money, with the aim of forcing him to back down and give up helping her!
Perhaps there's a strong warning in there, a warning to him to stay away from Wen Qingyi in the future! Don't meddle in other people's business!
How come he didn't notice it at the time?
If he had realized Bo Jinyan's intentions earlier, would he not be in this situation today?
Thinking about this, Xu Chen couldn't help but feel regret.
"So if I help you, I'm guaranteed to take the loss of one hundred million." Xu Yi said through gritted teeth, his eyes blazing with anger. "Xu Chen, tell me, should I help you or not?"
If we help him, who will bear the loss of 100 million?
But if he doesn't help, Xu Chen is his only son. Is he really going to just watch him perish?
For a moment, even he was torn, caught in a internal struggle. The usually rational man was at a loss for what to do.
Xu Chen noticed his father's hesitation, crawled to his feet, grabbed his trouser leg, and pleaded, "Dad, I beg you, if you don't help me this time, I really won't be able to go on..."
"I promise I'll listen to you obediently from now on and never dare to misbehave again!"
This time he was truly scared.
I never expected my cousin to be so ruthless, trying to drive him to the brink of despair right from the start!
