The Lu family members turned deathly pale and collapsed to the ground.
It turns out that Fang Dingding was behind it all.
Lu Sirou was unwilling to leave like this, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Qiaowa, Fang Dingding targeted us because of you. So, you're the culprit too!"
"Yes, you've ruined us! Pay up!" Old Mrs. Ruan exclaimed angrily, realizing what had happened.
As if they had found an outlet for their anger, the second wives turned their attention to Lu Siqiao.
Luo Xiaoxue tried to stop them, but was intimidated by Lu Siqiao's gaze.
“Everything you have achieved comes from me.” Lu Si laughed. “If Fang Dingding hadn’t wanted to deal with me, she wouldn’t have even glanced at you, let alone tried to win you over. Now that I’m officially at war with her, you can only become cannon fodder.”
"Don't disbelieve me. Do you think you're so great?" She sat down in the chair, her smile fading. "I don't have time to waste with you. Either leave, or stay in the capital and use your so-called abilities to pay back the money properly."
Five hundred thousand? Where did they get the money?
"Qiaowa, how about this? You help us pay back our debts and lend us some more money so we can make a comeback," Lu Mingyuan said humbly. "Just this once, and we'll never make such a stupid mistake again."
"Yes, we're all relatives, we should help each other if we can!" Old Mrs. Ruan also cried out.
Lu Siqiao smiled faintly: "I said, it's either leave or take the money. There is no third option."
"How could they do this? It's outrageous!" The second branch of the family exploded, venting their dissatisfaction.
At this moment, Liu Yan whispered a few words in Lu Mingyuan's ear.
Lu Mingyuan's expression brightened, and he nodded.
Lu Siqiao sneered: "If you think you can come back after taking the money, you're sorely mistaken."
"I'm lending you money on conditions. You have to sign an IOU. If you obediently return to City A, I won't ask you for the money back. If you insist on getting it back, fine, you'll have to pay me back, one million." She sneered.
One million!
Lu Mingyuan angrily cursed, "You brat, you heartless bastard, I've raised you for nothing."
"Don't doubt my abilities. I can make sure you can't stay here for even a day," Lu Siqiao said to herself. "I'm not much different from Fang Dingding. Unless you can endure hunger and start from scratch, like being a security guard, an assembly line worker, a housekeeper, or a nanny..."
These are all jobs they used to do, but ever since they found a shortcut, they've refused to lower themselves to do those low-level jobs again.
Originally, Lu Mingyuan had a very detailed plan.
They originally planned to have the eldest son repay the debt with the house, and then naturally have him lend them more money to buy a house and start a business.
But to everyone's surprise, Lu Siqiao was determined to eliminate them completely.
"No, I won't agree." Lu Sidi couldn't accept the change in her attitude and walked out of the villa.
They were captivated by everything here.
Luo Xiaoxue looked at Lu Siqiao with a worried expression.
Lu Siqiao said coldly, "Second Uncle, if you refuse, then we have nothing more to say. Go back." She stood up and said to Lu Mingfeng, "Dad, remember, don't give them any money, not a single penny."
Lu Mingfeng knew the seriousness of the matter and gave a wry smile: "Okay."
As soon as Lu Siqiao left, Old Madam Ruan turned all her anger on Lu San, saying, "Lu San, you all live a life of luxury in the capital, while you send us back alone. You have ulterior motives and will be punished."
Lu San wasn't going to give in to her kindness and said coldly, "Qiao Wa is right. You can come back or not if you want. I'll be going back in a couple of days. After that, the eldest son's family will accompany Jin An to study abroad, leaving Qiao Wa alone in the capital. You can try to persuade her if you want.
Upon hearing that he was leaving and that his eldest son's family was also going abroad, Lu Mingyuan's mind went blank.
"Brother, are you really going abroad?" he asked Lu Mingfeng in disbelief.
He also wants to go abroad.
"Yes, I need to keep an eye on the overseas business." Lu Mingfeng was amazed by Lu Siqiao's swift and decisive methods; she was truly ruthless.
Lu Mingyuan was heartbroken and left with his men.
That night, the debt collectors came again, and poured gasoline on their house, threatening to kill their whole family if they didn't pay back the money.
After Lu Sidi ran away, Liu Zheng's girlfriend sent people to break his leg. When he was brought back, he was barely alive.
Lu Mingyuan panicked and came to find Lu Siqiao in the middle of the night to sign an agreement to leave the capital before he would stop.
Two days later, Lu Siqiao saw them off on the train.
With tears in his eyes, Lu Mingyuan said, "Qiaowa, remember to come home and visit your grandfather when you have time."
“You all better take good care of my grandfather. If he does anything wrong, I’ll hold you accountable. And don’t expect me to take care of you in the future,” Lu Siqiao threatened.
Liu Yan quickly replied, "How could that be? I assure you, I will take good care of the old man from now on."
Third Master Lu patted Lu Siqiao on the back: "Qiaowa, Grandpa is leaving. Take care of yourself."
Lu Siqiao's assertive demeanor crumbled, and she immediately became as docile as a lamb, nodding obediently.
With reddened eyes, she said, "Grandpa, I'll come home to see you during my vacation."
Master Lu looked at him with loving eyes, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Child, just listen to your heart. Do whatever you want to do."
Lu Siqiao watched his departing figure, her eyes reddening.
At this moment, Cheng Ze walked up from behind, carrying some gift boxes, and called out to Third Master Lu.
"Grandpa, take care on your journey!" he shouted.
When Master Lu saw it was him, he walked back, took his hand, and said earnestly, "Cheng Ze, I'm entrusting Qiao Wa to you. Treat her well and don't hurt her."
Looking at the old man's kind face, Cheng Ze nodded heavily: "Grandpa, I will take good care of Qiaowa."
Master Lu grinned, took their hands, and placed them together.
"Qiaowa, Grandpa's leaving now. When you get back, take Chengze back to his hometown for a visit." He instructed Lu Siqiao before leaving without looking back.
Lu Siqiao burst into tears.
Her grandfather passed away, and her heart felt as if it were half broken.
"Qiaowa, don't cry. You'll be able to go home to see Grandpa during the New Year," Cheng Ze comforted her with a smile.
Lu Siqiao looked at him, then silently turned and left.
Cheng Ze grabbed her hand and asked urgently, "Qiao Wa, why are you avoiding me?"
“Cheng Ze, we’ve grown up. There’s a difference between men and women. It’s time to keep our distance.” Lu Siqiao’s eyes were filled with sadness as she sneered.
Cheng Ze looked directly at her, his gaze clear: "Qiaowa, you said that I am your older brother, and I will be for life."
Yes, he treats her like a younger sister, but she wants to pounce on him!
It was her fault.
"I'm sorry, it was my fault." She took a breath and said coldly, "You're right, I will treat you like an older brother."
Cheng Ze's handsome brows furrowed slightly, and a dark feeling inexplicably welled up in his eyes.
Is he just an older brother?
