"You want to borrow 500,000 from me?"
Zhang Ailan thought she had misheard.
Lin Yu and Lu Xueqing exchanged a glance.
They came here to collect a debt, but unexpectedly, the other party asked to borrow money first. Isn't this ridiculous?
Zhang Xuewu had no idea what they were thinking, and continued to say to Zhang Ailan, "Sister, I won't borrow too much from you, just 500,000. The family company isn't doing well right now, and Dad hasn't given me any money in a long time. I'm not going to be idle all day, so I'm thinking of making some money to start a small business!"
Mei Yun also laughed and said, "Sister, you're already driving a Bentley, so 500,000 is nothing to you, right? It shouldn't be a big problem, right?"
Zhang Ailan looked embarrassed.
Let alone 500,000, she can't even come up with 50,000!
I should have known better than to brag!
Zhang Ailan looked embarrassed and glanced at Lu Xueqing. "I'm just a retired old lady. I don't have any money. You'll have to ask my daughter!"
Zhang Xuewu quickly looked at Lu Xueqing and said with a smile, "Xueqing, you're a big boss now, giving your uncle 500,000 yuan shouldn't be a big problem, right? Don't worry, your uncle will consider you an investor. If we make money, your uncle will give you a share of the profits!"
Lu Xueqing was speechless.
This uncle is really something else. He still owes them money from before, how dare he ask to borrow again!
However, she rolled her eyes and said calmly, "Uncle, 500,000 is not a problem for me. But as the saying goes, it's easy to borrow and repay, and it's easy to borrow again. You should pay back the 2 million you borrowed from my mother first, and then we can talk about this 500,000!"
Zhang Xuewu's smile froze, and he frowned, saying, "What? You want me to pay you back?"
Mei Yun and her brother's expressions also changed.
They all seemed to realize something as well.
So, Zhang Ailan and her family are here today to collect a debt?
Zhang Xuewu shook his head. "Xueqing, you must have misunderstood. That 2 million yuan your mother gave me was a loan, not a gift. I don't need to pay it back!"
He then turned to Zhang Ailan and said, "Right, eldest sister?"
When Zhang Xuewu asked her this question, Zhang Ailan froze, unsure of how to respond.
Lu Xueqing tugged at Zhang Ailan, reminding her, "Mom, say something!"
“I…” Zhang Ailan looked somewhat embarrassed.
She couldn't quite remember the exact details of what was said back then; it was all rather vague.
Lin Yu could tell that Zhang Ailan was a little embarrassed, so he quickly came over and whispered, "Mom, don't you want to buy a BMW anymore? Also, don't you think about what kind of life you three have lived all these years? And what kind of life has your brother's family lived? They live in a big villa with your money, use cosmetics that cost tens of thousands of yuan a set, and live the life of a rich lady. And you? Tsk tsk, to put it bluntly, what's the difference between you and a low-income family?"
People are most afraid of comparison!
Especially among women!
Lin Yu's words seemed to awaken Zhang Ailan. Looking at the large villa and the SK-II shoes that cost tens of thousands of yuan, then at Mei Yun's fair and rosy face, and thinking about the suffering she had endured over the years, a nameless anger surged up within her.
That's right! This money absolutely must be returned!
She looked at Zhang Xuewu with a serious expression and said, "Xuewu, I remember when Dad wanted to pay me back the money, you told me that Mei Yun agreed to marry you, so you had to buy a house, and asked me to give you the money first! So this money is what you borrowed from me!"
Zhang Xuewu was stunned; he hadn't expected Zhang Ailan to actually make him pay!
His face immediately darkened, and he said, "Big sister, isn't that the same thing? Buying me a house first, isn't that giving me a gift?"
Zhang Ailan said irritably, "What do you mean 'give'! I didn't say that! I meant I'd lend it to you first! That's two million, and it's money I embezzled from the Lu family company. Do you really think you don't have to pay it back?"
Zhang Xuewu waved his hands and said, "I don't care. If you're so capable, go ask Dad for it. It has nothing to do with me. Dad transferred the money directly to me!"
"You!" Zhang Ailan was so angry that she couldn't speak.
This younger brother is absolutely shameless!
Whose money did Dad transfer back then? Wasn't it hers!
Mei Yun said sarcastically, "Big sister, I just said we're family, there's no need to be so formal, right? Besides, your daughter is a big boss now, driving a Bentley, is she short of two million? That's too stingy!"
Lu Xueqing quickly said, "Auntie, I think you've misunderstood. The Bentley isn't mine; my husband borrowed it. Our family hasn't been doing well these past few years. My sisters and I all took out loans to go to school. Besides, my company hasn't even started making a profit yet, and I still owe someone three million! So, you have to pay us back!"
"What?" Mei Yun was stunned for a moment, then a cold smile gradually appeared on her face. "So, the car isn't yours, and the company is just a shell company! And you're in debt? My God, what are you pretending to be rich for?"
Upon hearing about the Lu family's situation, Mei Yun's expression immediately changed, and she went up and grabbed the SK-II set from earlier.
Zhang Ailan immediately became anxious, "Hey! Wasn't that for me?"
"For you?" Mei Yun turned around and sneered, "Look at your old face, you have more wrinkles than my grandma. You'd be better off using Pechoin!"
Zhang Ailan was furious. How old was she? And how old was Mei Yun's grandmother?
Isn't this humiliating?
She immediately stood up, pointed at Mei Yun's nose, and shouted, "You, you're being insolent! I'm the eldest sister of the martial arts school, how dare you disrespect me?"
Mei Yun scoffed, "Who are you calling 'big sister'? Get lost! Poor bastards, coming to visit relatives? I'm ashamed for you, even if you're not embarrassed. Get out of here, you're not welcome in our house!"
