Chapter 193
Because he refused to tutor Zhao Kai, Lu Xiaoyan was so angry that she said she didn't have a nephew as heartless and ungrateful as him.
Later, she was even more afraid of paying for his college tuition, so she blocked and deleted all his contact information. She didn't even know that he was studying abroad, but she said such a thing at this time. The purpose is obvious.
Lu Xun was calm and didn't say anything.
He was tall, with cold and deep facial features. With just a glance, Zhao Jianguo felt oppressed for no reason. He swallowed back the words he wanted to try to get closer to him.
He could only nudge Lu Xiaoyan with his elbow and signal her with his eyes to quickly talk about the demolition payment.
Lu Xiaoyan's eyes wandered for a moment, and her mouth seemed to be stuck with glue, and she couldn't open her mouth for some reason.
But she was already here. Lu Xun must have known about her blocking someone a few days ago. If she backed down, she would get nothing. She would not get any good things from Lu Xun.
Lu Xun now lives in a big mansion and drives a luxury car. He is no longer the poor kid he used to be. His life is going smoothly.
But her son Zhao Kai is different. Zhao Kai is not as smart as Lu Xun, and he can't even get into a decent university. In today's society, he has no education and no money, so he can't even find a wife in the future.
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaoyan gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Xun, the houses in the old city are going to be demolished. Did you know about this?"
Lu Xun said coldly: “I know.”
"I have asked some people here recently. For a house like this, the compensation we can get is more than 800,000 yuan."
Lu Xiaoyan faced Lu Xun's indifferent gaze and was inexplicably unable to continue. She picked up the kettle on the table to ease the embarrassment, but it was empty. She had to put it down awkwardly and continued, "Aunt and your uncle hope that the demolition money will be divided equally between our two families."
She originally wanted to say that she would give it all to her, but she was afraid that Lu Xun would disagree, so she had to compromise and say this.
Lu Xun frowned, but before he could say anything, Zhao Jianguo on the side was dissatisfied. He glared at Lu Xiaoyan fiercely, then changed his face and smiled at Lu Xun, saying, "Xiao Xun, you are very promising now. I just saw the car you were driving. Oh, that car is worth tens of millions. I have never seen such a good car in my life!"
Zhao Jianguo first said a few nice words, and then he sighed and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. We haven't had a good life these years. I work alone in the factory, your aunt goes out to do odd jobs from time to time, and your cousin..."
Speaking of Zhao Kai, the middle-aged man sighed heavily. Whether it was fake or real, one could see that he was full of helplessness and sadness.
After saying that, he secretly looked at Lu Xun's expression. Seeing that he had a cold face and did not show any concern or questioning, he felt unhappy for a moment.
But considering that the demolition compensation had not yet been received, he suppressed his emotions and stated his ultimate goal: "We thought, you don't live here, this house is old and small, why not leave it to your cousin?"
Everyone knew that the house was about to be demolished, and when they said they were giving the house to Zhao Kai, they were actually just giving out the demolition compensation.
"Why?" Lu Xun finally spoke. He didn't look at Zhao Jianguo, but at Lu Xiaoyan: "Aunt, do you think so too?"
"…………Xiao Kai is your cousin, not a stranger. Just consider it as helping your cousin…" Lu Xiaoyan said.
"Why so many whys? Xiaoxun, you have made it now, but think carefully, if your aunt and I hadn't given you food, would you be alive today?"
Zhao Jianguo was getting impatient. He said all sorts of good and bad things, but Lu Xun still refused to give in. It really proved the saying that the richer you are, the greedier you become.
"Give us this house as a way of repaying our kindness when we were kids. You are also a top student. You can't just care about money and not people. If it gets out and someone with ulterior motives leaks it to the media, it will have a bad impact on your company."
There was a stiff threat in his tone. Lu Xiaoyan glanced at Lu Xun hastily. Seeing that he was not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief and explained quickly: "Your uncle didn't mean that. We are happier than anyone else that you are doing well, but......"
She didn't say the following words directly, but her meaning was obvious.
One plays the good guy, the other plays the bad guy, what a show...
If it were in the past, Lu Xun might have really given out the demolition compensation. After all, it was not a lot of money for him now. But like Jiang Qiao said, why?
Why should he give up things that originally belonged to him just because he has money?
Lu Xun chuckled, stood up under the expectant gazes of the two, and said in a light voice: "Whatever."
"Do you need me to provide the media's contact information?" Lu Xun added slowly.
Zhao Jianguo was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and stood up angrily.
Lu Xiaoyan was also shocked by his resolute attitude and held her husband.
The current Lu Xun is not as easy to fool as before. If he starts fighting, three Zhao Jianguo will not be enough.
"Xiao Xun, what are you talking about..." She smiled stiffly, trying to play the emotional card again.
The door was suddenly pushed open with great force, and Zhao Kai threw everything in his hand aside: "Mom, don't beg him!"
Milk, apples, oranges, and small orange-yellow tomatoes rolled all over the floor.
Zhao Kai didn't know how long he had been eavesdropping. His face turned blue and red with anger. He glared at the cold-faced man with anger and said word by word, "Lu Xun, you deserve to be alone."
The sky was dark, and leaves rolled and fell on the top of the black car.
In the car, Jiang Qiao woke up dazedly and rubbed his eyes: "Lu Xun?"
There was silence, no one answered her.
Where did you go?
She had just woken up and felt sore all over. She sat up and was stunned for a while in the quiet and dim car. The street lights came on, illuminating the surrounding environment.
Jiang Qiao narrowed her eyes and subconsciously looked over. She saw the environment clearly through the car window. She was stunned.
Even after such a long time, she could tell at a glance that this was Lu Xun's hometown, where she had lived for several months.
How come...you are here?
Thinking back to what the man said to her in the afternoon when he was coaxing her, he wanted to take her out to play. Did that mean he wanted to bring her here?
Jiang Qiao was a little slow to react. He got out of the car and slowly scanned the old alley. It seemed that this place was frozen in that year. Except for the bright red word "demolition" on the wall, nothing else seemed to have changed.
The dim street lights, the various wires intersecting in the air, the clothes drying racks, and the clothes that someone forgot to take in, dangling in the air.
The house was not soundproofed. Walking further inside, one could hear children crying and couples arguing. A sudden roar made Jiang Qiao's face change suddenly.
Here I come~ The list of thanks will be presented tomorrow!
