Lu Siqiao knew that Luo Zhongcheng had offended Qian Wenjie and would not have a good ending. She smiled and said that as long as no one died, it would be enough to teach him a lesson. Then she hung up the phone.
On Saturday morning, she made a special appointment with Mo Yan to visit Su Muyao, and Li Rou also came.
Su Mushen said that his sister had gone to the Luo family again, and fearing that Su Muyao would be taken advantage of, Lu Siqiao asked the driver to rush to No. 2 Longxing Road.
As you walk into the alley, you can hear Old Lady Yao crying and Old Lady Zhong's loud voice trying to smooth things over.
Li Rou smiled wryly and said, "My grandma loves to join in the fun."
Mo Yan asked, "Has the Li family contacted you again?"
“I did look for her. She came to my door a few days ago. She blamed my mother for giving her the address. She immediately started complaining about being poor, saying that Song Xinxin had lied to her, claiming to be the daughter of a high-ranking official, but in reality, she was just a farmer. She said that Li Zhi bought a small two-bedroom apartment on Mapo Road, but didn’t bring the old lady there to enjoy her retirement,” Li Rou said helplessly.
Lu Siqiao quickly said, "Your mother won't tell her that you have savings, will she?"
"My mom took your advice last time and wanted me to study design so I could work at your company in the future. Now she's being extra careful and won't budge no matter how much the old lady makes a fuss. She even lied to my grandma, saying she was having an attack of her illness and wanted to borrow money from her to see a doctor, which scared my grandma away." Li Rou smiled broadly, her eyes crinkling.
The three girls walked quickly into the courtyard.
Upon entering, one could see Grandma Yao and her son pulling and tugging at Su Muyao, making her cry.
Mo Yan wanted to rush up and stop them, but Lu Siqiao stopped her, took out a photo from her backpack, and snapped several photos of them in quick succession.
"Stop!" She brandished her camera and said coldly, "If you don't want to face legal trouble, release them."
Upon seeing her, Su Muyao was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Qiaowa!"
The faces of Old Lady Yao and her son changed, becoming increasingly gloomy and terrifying.
"You brat, it's all your fault that our family has no peace for even a day!" Old Mrs. Yao, relying on her age, rushed up, glaring at Lu Siqiao with her cloudy eyes, and started cursing, "If it weren't for you messing things up, our whole family would be together. Now look what's happened, my son and wife are gone, and even our belongings are smashed!"
It is said that Luo Zhongcheng lost tens of thousands of yuan gambling and, having nowhere else to turn, borrowed money from loan sharks. If he couldn't repay the debts, he would be taken abroad to "work." Old Mrs. Yao was both angry and heartbroken, but instead of reflecting on her son's gambling, she blamed all her resentment on Su Muyao, believing that her insistence on divorce had caused her son to become so depressed.
With the intention of going all the way, Old Lady Yao coaxed Su Muyao to come see her in a kind and gentle manner, saying that her rheumatism had flared up and she couldn't even lift her hand. She said she remembered how good Su Muyao had been to her and wanted her to come see her former mother-in-law.
Su Muyao felt a pang of pity, but she never expected that as soon as she stepped inside, she would be tricked by Old Lady Yao and her son, who demanded that she pay 30,000 yuan to compensate them for their losses, otherwise they would not let her leave.
They're so ignorant about the law! They think they can get everything without working by using their fists?
"Smack!"
Just as Grandma Yao was about to strike Lu Siqiao with her large hand, Lu Siqiao calmly dodged and slapped her back.
Grandma Yao was stunned by the blow and stumbled before regaining her balance.
Lu Siqiao said coldly, "It's not that old people have become hooligans, it's that hooligans have grown old."
"You brat, how dare you hit an old woman!" Old Mrs. Yao was quite eccentric; she collapsed to the ground, throwing a tantrum and yelling, "Help! Someone come quick! This brat has killed someone! Is there no justice left? She's bullying an old woman!"
This outrageous move completely shattered Mo Yan and the others' worldview.
Su Muyao, utterly humiliated, shouted angrily, "Mom, get up first!"
Hearing her still calling the old lady "Mom," Lu Siqiao reminded her, "Sister Mu Yao, you're already divorced. Keep calling her that, or people will think you're still attached to the Luo family and can't bear to leave."
Su Muyao blushed, slapped her own mouth, and spat, "Look at my memory!" She spoke again, "Grandma, I am no longer a daughter-in-law of the Luo family. Luo Zhongcheng's debts have nothing to do with me, and I will not contribute a single penny."
Seeing how quickly she changed her tune under Lu Siqiao's instigation, Old Madam Yao hated Lu Siqiao to death and said viciously, "Su Muyao, even a night of marriage is a hundred nights of kindness. How could you just stand by and watch someone die? If you don't have money, Zhongcheng will be sold to work abroad!"
Su Muyao said indifferently, "Nine out of ten gamblers lose. He brought this on himself. Should I help him even if he loses tens or hundreds of thousands?"
"Ah Yao, it was us, Ah Cheng and I, who wronged you in the past. Ah Cheng has already realized his mistakes. Please, for the sake of our past as husband and wife, save him. I beg you."
"Your boss is so rich, it would be easy for you to ask them for 30,000 to 50,000 yuan, wouldn't it?" Old Mrs. Yao looked at Lu Siqiao unwillingly, hugged Su Muyao's leg, and whispered.
Lu Siqiao almost laughed out of anger.
"I'm sorry, I have no obligation or ability to help your son pay off so much money." Su Muyao pushed the old lady away and said, word by word, "Instead of begging me here, you should hurry up and raise the money. I won't come again." She took out an envelope from her pocket and stuffed it into the old lady's hand. "There is a thousand yuan here. Take it and buy some good food. If you can't stay in the capital, then leave."
"You brat, do you want to watch my son and I be driven to our deaths by loan sharks?" Seeing that the old lady couldn't persuade her, Luo Zhongcheng was furious and cursed like a madman, "Just you wait, if you push me too far, I'll drag you down with me!"
He touched the back of his head, feeling extremely agitated.
Lu Siqiao gestured for Su Muyao to leave.
At the door, they saw Lu Cixiu and Fang Yao rushing over.
"Grandma, what's going on here—" Lu Cixiu stepped forward to help Grandma Zhong up, his face filled with shock.
Grandma Zhong wiped away her tears, pointed at Su Muyao and Lu Siqiao, and accused them first, saying, "Axiu, please save your cousin! He's being driven to his death by your cousin's wife!"
Lu Siqiao almost forgot that the school heartthrob Lu Cixiu was Su Mushen's cousin. It turned out that Su Mushen was connected to the Luo family.
Lu Cixiu's ability to attend Sunshine High School suggests that his family is well-off. Given the Luo family's connections, why doesn't he ask them for help instead of clinging to Su Muyao?
Upon seeing Lu Cixiu's arrival, Luo Zhongcheng instantly perked up and said to Su Muyao, "Su Muyao, don't turn your back on me. Don't forget that your brother was able to get into Qihang School only because I used my connections with the Lu family."
"The Lu family can let him in, and they can also kick him out!"
He was arrogant and overbearing.
Completely oblivious to Lu Cixiu's furrowed brows.
Su Muyao panicked and gritted her teeth, saying, "Even if the Lu family used their connections, our Su family still gave you three thousand yuan. We didn't let the Lu family work for free."
Upon hearing the price of three thousand yuan, Luo Zhongcheng's expression became unnatural.
Lu Cixiu then said with an upright expression, "Sister-in-law, our Lu family has never taken a single penny from my cousin. We were just helping out casually."
Su Muyao's face turned ashen as she thought about how Luo Zhongcheng had swindled her money again, and she remained speechless with a cold expression.
"If Mr. Luo wants to borrow money, our family also runs some lending companies. They are safe and secure, and we can introduce you to them."
At this moment, Fang Yao stepped forward and tried to befriend Luo Zhongcheng.
