As he spoke, he suddenly leaned closer to Pei Huai and whispered, "Did you lose willingly?"
Shen Huaiyuan had always known about Pei Huai's feelings for Jiang Yue.
If Lu Jingnian hadn't returned, he would have strongly supported Jiang Yue being with Pei Huai.
After all, Pei Huai is also very outstanding. Only a man as outstanding as him can be worthy of their Yueyue.
"Um!"
Pei Huai stood by the window, watching Jiang Yue and Lu Jingnian get into the car. The two were chatting and laughing, and he gave a bitter smile.
“Actually, when we were in the South, I knew that I was no match for Lu Jingnian. The things he did for Jiang Yue, there are some things I definitely couldn’t do.”
Jiang Yue and Lu Jingnian returned home after finishing their hot pot meal, which was already past 10 p.m.
Mrs. Lu and the child were already asleep.
Only Lu's father was still sitting in the living room reading a book, or rather, waiting for Lu Jingnian to return.
"dad!"
Lu Jingnian entered in a wheelchair, saw his father sitting in the living room, and smiled slightly.
"Why are you still reading here so late?"
"I'm waiting for you to come back."
After finishing his sentence, Mr. Lu said to Jiang Yue, "Yueyue, you should go and rest first. I have something I want to talk to Jing Nian about alone."
"good!"
Jiang Yue nodded and quickly returned to her room.
Lu Jingnian followed his father to the study. After closing the study door, he heard his father say, "I heard what your eldest uncle said today."
Your aunt did indeed borrow money from loan sharks.
Lu Jingnian was not surprised by this result.
"And then?" he asked.
Looking at his nonchalant demeanor, Mr. Lu sighed helplessly, "Your uncle and aunt had a fight. During the fight, your aunt said that the reason she knew about the loan sharks was because you told her."
“It was indeed me who told her,” Lu Jingnian nodded. “But I was just trying to be helpful and remind her not to go astray. Who knew she would actually borrow money from loan sharks?”
"You wouldn't know?"
Mr. Lu was almost amused by Lu Jingnian's explanation.
"If you hadn't told your aunt that she was borrowing money from loan sharks, would she even have thought of it, given her intelligence?"
Mr. Lu knew his sister-in-law quite well. Although she was indeed a bit foolish, she had never been involved in the matter of borrowing money from loan sharks before. If someone hadn't reminded her, she would never have thought of using loan sharks.
“If that’s how you think, there’s nothing I can do.” Lu Jingnian spread his hands innocently.
Mr. Lu: "...I know why you did this?"
You want to avenge Yueyue.
Every time my sister-in-law sees Yueyue, she always says a few sarcastic things about her.
As a grown man, he couldn't say anything to his sister-in-law, but fortunately, Yueyue always stood up for him and didn't suffer any losses.
But to his surprise, the first thing Lu Jingnian did upon returning was to stand up for his wife.
Lu Jingnian did not speak.
Mr. Lu continued, “I don’t object to your desire to avenge Yueyue, and I fully support you.”
"But it's one thing for you to target your aunt, but your uncle didn't even show any sadness towards Yueyue. By doing this, you've even schemed against your uncle."
"Do you know how much money your aunt borrowed?" Mr. Lu asked.
"have no idea!"
Lu Jingnian didn't know, but he guessed that his aunt must have borrowed a lot of money this time, otherwise his father wouldn't have waited for him to come back tonight to talk to him about it.
“Your parents have really gone crazy this time. They borrowed nearly 80,000 yuan at once. Your aunt has lost about 150,000 yuan in the stock market.”
In this day and age, 80,000 yuan is no small sum.
“I know you and Yueyue can both earn money, and this amount of money is nothing to you, but your uncle is different from you.”
He only receives a monthly stipend from his workplace, and it's already quite difficult for him to support your aunt..."
Now that woman has borrowed another 80,000 yuan, plus the money she lost in the stock market, bringing her total to nearly 150,000 yuan.
Even if they sold everything, Uncle Lu still couldn't pay back that much money.
"Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. She is courting death. Even if I hadn't warned her a couple of days ago, with her stock trading style, she would have borrowed even more money in the future."
Lu Jingnian didn't feel sorry for his uncle's family. He thought his uncle's pitifulness was all due to his aunt's indulgence.
"Moreover, my aunt's personality is entirely due to my uncle's indulgence, so if you really think about it, my uncle isn't innocent either."
Father Lu: "..." That seems to make sense.
He found himself unable to argue with Lu Jingnian.
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Lu changed the subject.
"Regardless of whether your uncle is innocent or not, he is still your uncle, and he is my own brother."
Even if you sold your uncle and your older brother, they still couldn't come up with 150,000 yuan.
Moreover, if this money can't be repaid, it could very well affect your older brother's and uncle's future.
Although the Lu family holds a high position in Kyoto, they are not without rivals. Paying back the money is a minor matter. If his elder brother can't come up with it, how could they, as his brothers, not be able to?
The main concern is that some people might use this incident to their advantage, which could be detrimental to the Lu family.
"I understand what you mean."
Lu Jingnian said, "Don't worry, no one will use this matter to target the Lu family, nor will it affect Uncle's future."
As for repaying the money..."
Lu Jingnian smiled and said, "I believe that with your uncle and aunt's abilities, they can definitely pay it back. However, we are family after all, and your uncle is your elder brother, so I can't go too far."
I simply won't make them pay interest.
Mr. Lu: "...So, you're the one who had someone lend money to your aunt?"
He underestimated Lu Jingnian.
He thought Lu Jingnian had only tricked the eldest son's family, but he never expected him to go this far.
"Otherwise what?" Lu Jingnian said disdainfully, "Do you think someone like my aunt would still be alive if she got involved with loan sharks?"
Father Lu: "..."
After a two-minute silence, Mr. Lu finally sighed and looked at Lu Jingnian with a helpless expression, "I'm not going to get involved in this matter anymore. Just keep it to yourself."
The old man is right, this family should be handed over to Jing Nian.
...
Inside the room.
Jiang Yue had finished showering and dried her hair before she saw Lu Jingnian returning in his wheelchair.
Once inside the room, he tossed the wheelchair aside and walked straight over to Jiang Yue, who was sitting on the bed.
Sitting on the bed, Lu Jingnian placed his warm palm on Jiang Yue's knee and asked softly, "Does your knee hurt?"
"I didn't feel any pain today."
Jiang Yue smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "What did Dad call you over to talk to you about just now?"
Lu Jingnian didn't hide anything from her and told her in detail about his aunt's high-interest loan.
