Chapter 394 Lu Xinyi is confronted by debt collectors and faces off against Shi Nian.
Indeed, the Shi family was so powerful back then, and my father was so powerful, yet he still suffered such a terrible fate. Not to mention the others.
It's normal that Old Master Li doesn't want to talk about it.
She was too hasty.
Shi Nian took a deep breath to calm herself down. This wouldn't do; she couldn't be impatient, or she would easily make a mistake.
Thinking it over, she smiled apologetically at Li Tongruo and said, "I'm going to the restroom."
Li Tongruo nodded, understanding Shi Nian's thoughts.
She knew how glorious the Shi family and Shi Yichen had once been.
After all, they are the same age, and everyone has witnessed their journey together.
Shi Nian went to the restroom.
Meanwhile, in another private room in the restaurant.
Lu Xinyi was with some of her friends.
Lu Xinyi had previously said that she only needed the funds for a few days and would pay them back afterward, and even promised a return. However, many days have passed and Lu Xinyi has remained silent.
Trading days are working days, so they also include weekends and holidays. So although it's only four trading days, almost a week has actually passed. Plus, the time spent borrowing money from the gold company has also passed quite a bit.
The few days mentioned before have now passed by in a flash, more than ten days have gone by, and Lu Xinyi has not said a word, which is a bit strange.
If it weren't for the fact that Lu Xinyi is a member of the Lu family and has a large amount of assets under her name, they would have asked long ago.
This time, it was supposed to be a meal together, but it was actually a roundabout way of getting to the bottom of things.
While we were eating, someone asked, "By the way, Sister Xinyi, how's it going with the funds you raised for investment?"
"They must have made a fortune, hahaha." Someone immediately chimed in, "That's a really tactless question."
"So how do you ask a question that shows class?" the person next to him asked with a smile.
"You should ask Sister Xinyi when she's going to throw us a celebration party," the straight man chuckled. "Who in the industry doesn't know Sister Xinyi's capabilities? It's just a matter of how much she'll earn, but personally, I think she'll make a fortune!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
They all praised her, listing Lu Xinyi's previous achievements.
She could have lived a life of luxury without working hard, relying on the Lu family, but she still chose to work hard to get into a prestigious university in France.
He also handled many Lu-related matters in Country F.
After returning to China, he immediately assembled a team to work at Lu's company.
And so on.
List them one by one.
Everyone was praising Lu Xinyi.
Lu Xinyi was smiling the whole time, but it was a fake smile; she was maintaining it with great difficulty.
She was already feeling lost during the day, and she didn't want to come to the dinner party at all, but her friend An'an said that these were people raising funds, so she reluctantly came.
At the very least, we need to keep people calm.
Otherwise, her reputation would be ruined.
"Don't worry, the investments are all going well, it's just a short-term cash flow issue." Lu Xinyi gave a definite answer, "What I promised you before will not be less, it will be more."
"And... I'll throw a celebration banquet for everyone this month!" Lu Xinyi said, feigning excitement, as if she had really made a lot of money.
The crowd cheered.
Lu Xinyi couldn't take it anymore, so she said something and went to the restroom.
The more the crowd cheered and described how much she had earned, the more her heart bled as she thought about her empty account and the losses.
In the bathroom, Lu Xinyi looked at herself in the mirror.
Although she can still afford to pay back the money, the losses this time are indeed substantial.
And they also have to give those people the promised benefits.
All of this made her scalp tingle.
We might have to secretly sell some overseas assets... If it gets discovered, we'll say we're not optimistic about those and will switch to others...
But the more she thought about it, the less she could accept it.
It's all because of Shi Nian!
Lu Xinyi felt her blood surging, and anger kept washing over her veins.
She was all harmed by Shi Nian!
Just then, the door to one of the cubicles opened, and someone came out.
Shi Nian sat on the toilet for a while to calm down, and only came out of the stall when she was sure that her emotions had improved slightly.
As soon as she came out, her eyes met Lu Xinyi's in the mirror.
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
Shi Nian withdrew her gaze and turned to walk out.
"Stop!" Lu Xinyi immediately stopped her.
Shi Nian ignored Lu Xinyi and walked even faster.
However, Lu Xinyi quickly took a few steps and blocked her way.
Shi Nian had no choice but to stop and asked, "Is there something you need?"
Lu Xinyi looked very unwell.
"Are you feeling smug?" Lu Xinyi asked through gritted teeth.
"What do you mean?" Shi Nian asked calmly. "Please be more specific."
Lu Xinyi was even angrier.
"Don't pretend you don't know," Lu Xinyi said coldly. "You deliberately spread false information to make me lose money. This isn't over!"
Shi Nian looked up and saw Lu Xinyi's face contorted in pain.
"And then?" she asked.
"And then?" Lu Xinyi laughed angrily. "There is no then."
Lu Xinyi said, "I am still Miss Lu, still Lu Xinyi. I have assets, status, and the Lu family, while you, Shi Nian, have only earned a little bit by luck. You are nothing!"
Shi Nian did not answer, and continued to calmly look at Lu Xinyi.
The more Shi Nian acted like this, the angrier Lu Xinyi became.
"Shi Yichen is dead, the Shi family has long since fallen, you..."
“I should indeed be proud.” Shi Nian interrupted Lu Xinyi before she could finish speaking.
She didn't want to argue with Lu Xinyi, who was in a bad mood because she had lost money, but she wouldn't allow Lu Xinyi to talk about her father and the Shi family like that!
Seeing Lu Xinyi's stunned expression turn into one of even greater anger, Shi Nian took a step forward.
Looking into Lu Xinyi's eyes, Shi Nian calmly said, "Lu Xinyi, I've advised you, but you wouldn't listen."
She had given Lu Xinyi some advice when they were at the beauty salon.
Lu Xinyi was determined to target her, so why should she be blamed now?
“You deserve to lose money,” Shi Nian continued.
"Shi Nian!" Lu Xinyi roared.
Shi Nian smiled and said softly, "Lu Xinyi, from beginning to end, did I ask you to check my funds?"
Did I ask you to find out about me?
Did I ask you to invest?
Shi Nian said, "You did all of this yourself. I never forced you."
"Shi Nian, you..."
"What about me?" Shi Nian said, looking at the furious Lu Xinyi, "We are all adults and should be responsible for our actions and decisions."
"Lu Xinyi, to put it bluntly, if Lu Yanzhi hadn't told you to cut your losses in time, you might have lost even more now."
You should be content.
The bathroom lights were bright, but the air seemed stagnant.
"You have no idea, I..." Lu Xinyi almost revealed that she had done it herself, but she stopped herself in time.
She couldn't let Shi Nian become even more smug; she couldn't let Shi Nian know that she had lost money again through her own trading!
So, Lu Xinyi started to mock Shi Nian from another angle.
"Indeed, I have a good older brother, which you can't compare to. Unlike you, Shi Nian, your whole family is gone!"
"Oh, no, you do have a mother, but it's better not to have one, haha."
