Mrs. Qin was speechless when asked, which was tantamount to her acknowledgment of Qin Lu's guess.
Qin Lu put down the coffee he had just picked up; he had no appetite for it anymore.
"Mom, you swore an oath in front of the whole family last year, and now you've lost 80 million. Don't you know what the situation is like at home now?"
The Qin family has suffered heavy losses due to the withdrawal of investment from the Fu Group. They have barely survived the crisis thanks to financing from American media tycoon Bruce.
But she went gambling at this time and lost 80 million.
"It wasn't that I lost 80 million, it was 50 million. Then... I borrowed some more money, hoping to win it back, but I had bad luck." Mrs. Qin's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, feeling guilty.
Qin Lu rubbed his forehead in exasperation. "He also borrowed another sum. How much did he borrow?"
"Eighty million, fifty million has been paid back, and the remaining... there's still ten million left." Mrs. Qin didn't dare say that she had lost again, but at least she managed to scrape together ten million in her hands, otherwise it would be even more difficult to explain.
Upon hearing this, Qin Lu spoke directly.
“I don’t have that much on hand. I can only scrape together ten million for you. Let’s pay back part of it first.”
Mrs. Qin hesitated for a long time before telling the truth.
"But I mortgaged that land to them, and if I don't repay it in the next couple of days..."
"Land? Which piece of land?" Qin Lu's expression turned even more grim.
"It's... it's that piece of land that I was asked to bid on a few days ago. Now it's the final repayment deadline. If I can't repay the principal and interest, I won't be able to get the land back," Mrs. Qin said truthfully.
Qin Lu trembled with anger, "Mom, are you crazy? You're going to mortgage a piece of land worth hundreds of millions?"
"This is just a formality. The person is someone Ruya knows. As long as the money is paid back on time, there won't be any problems," Mrs. Qin said confidently.
She has no collateral, so no one is going to lend her money.
Moreover, the agreement stipulated that as long as she paid back the money, she could get the land deed back.
Even if the other party had the greatest audacity, they wouldn't dare to seize the Qin family's property.
Upon hearing her mother speak so casually, Qin Lu spoke sternly.
"This sounds like usury. You dare to mortgage that piece of land? When the company was in such dire straits, even Dad didn't dare to sell a single piece of land. And you just mortgaged it like that?"
"I saw how hard you all worked, so... I wanted to win big like that year, but I just had bad luck," Mrs. Qin said.
She won big on her first trip to Las Vegas, winning over ten million dollars.
But since then, although he occasionally won, he always lost more often.
"You're not helping, you're just making things worse," Qin Lu shouted.
As he spoke, he hurriedly grabbed his coat, preparing to go see his father to discuss countermeasures.
After all, he simply didn't have enough money to come up with 80 million to get the land deed back.
The Qin family's large sums of money were controlled by the father and grandfather.
"Let's go talk to Dad first."
Mrs. Qin was also a little intimidated by her son's imposing manner, and followed him downstairs to the car.
"If your dad gets angry..."
"You did something like this, and you still expect him not to be angry?" Qin Lu couldn't understand what she was thinking, going to mortgage that piece of land to loan sharks without saying a word.
Mrs. Qin sat anxiously in the car, pondering how to face her husband's questioning later.
"Let's not tell your grandfather about this yet, shall we?"
If the old man finds out about this, he'll probably force them to get a divorce.
