Romantic Medical Immortal-Chapter 276: Lu Kun’s IOU
It was clear that Lu Kun knew why Chu Xiaoyu called him here.
After entering the room, he first glanced at Yang Cheng, and then his gaze fell on Chu Xiaoyu. He drooped his head like a child who had done something wrong.
"Lu Kun, did you harass Xiao Yuqi that day?"
Chu Xiaoyu, well aware of Lu Kun’s personality, instantly understood something from his demeanor and harshly reprimanded him.
"Aunt Chu, I..."
The sudden reprimand made Lu Kun shudder all over. He lowered his head even more, completely devoid of his usual arrogance outside.
It was obvious that he was very afraid of Chu Xiaoyu.
But apart from fear, it was more about respect.
"What do you mean, I just asked you, did you or did you not harass Xiao Yuqi that day?"
Chu Xiaoyu questioned sternly like a strict mother.
"I did!"
Lu Kun took a deep breath and without denying anything, nodded firmly.
"You... you, you..."
Upon hearing this answer, Chu Xiaoyu was furious, her anger blazing as she quickly approached Lu Kun, shouting angrily, "You disobedient child, how could you do such a thing? I... I must teach you a good lesson today!"
"Don’t!!"
Seeing this, Fang Ling immediately blocked Chu Xiaoyu’s way and anxiously explained, "Mom, I think there must be some misunderstanding. I’ve known Brother Kun for many years and know him very well. He would never harass a girl."
When saying these words, Fang Ling’s tone was full of firmness.
Although many people thought Lu Kun was a hooligan in society, often fighting and capable of doing anything for money,
she sincerely believed in Lu Kun, believing he wasn’t the kind of man who would casually harass girls.
"He’s already harassed someone, what misunderstanding could there be?"
Chu Xiaoyu was panting angrily as she spoke.
"Brother Kun, it must be a misunderstanding, right? Quickly explain to my mom, there are so many people here, they will stand up for you."
Fang Ling, unable to hold back Chu Xiaoyu’s anger, anxiously turned to look at Lu Kun behind her.
"No matter the reason, harassing Xiao Yuqi is wrong, I am willing to accept punishment..."
After saying this, Lu Kun’s expression suddenly changed, glaring at Yang Cheng, he questioned, "But what about the herbs my father worked so hard to grow, which were privately swallowed up by the Herbal Pavilion? Who can my father seek justice from?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room fell silent.
An emotionally charged Chu Xiaoyu also quieted down. She knew Lu Kun’s character well, and when he spoke such words, there must be some hidden matter.
"What did you say?"
Originally, Yang Cheng didn’t want to get involved in this matter. He was leisurely drinking tea while sitting on the sofa, but upon hearing these words, he immediately straightened up, looking at Lu Kun with interest. "What do you mean by saying the Herbal Pavilion owes you money?"
"That’s right!"
Lu Kun nodded vigorously and then took out a yellowed piece of paper from his pocket, looking at Yang Cheng he said, "In your eyes, a person like me, no matter what I say, you wouldn’t believe. You can take a look at this, and the truth will reveal itself."
"What is this?"
Yang Cheng swiftly stood up from the sofa and quickly approached Lu Kun, taking the paper from his hands.
Opening it up!
Then, Yang Cheng’s face changed. The contents were simple, essentially indicating that due to financial strains, the Herbal Pavilion took Lu Dahai’s herbs for usage, with a promise to settle the 200,000 worth of herbs once finances were in order.
Additionally, they would pay 50,000 in interest as a reward.
At the bottom, there were two signatures, Xiao Wenbin and Lu Dahai’s, along with their fingerprints.
"Now do you believe me?"
Lu Kun’s eyes were firmly fixed on Yang Cheng as he asked.
"Since you have an IOU, why didn’t you go after the money? Why harass Xiao Yuqi instead?"
Yang Cheng looked up at Lu Kun and asked.
"Because she wouldn’t give it."
Lu Kun’s tone was filled with grievance as he said, "Previously, I went several times to ask, but Xiao Yuqi always said there were no records of any debts on the Herbal Pavilion’s accounts. After several fruitless attempts, she kept with the same excuse. Then I thought I’d let it be, after all, Xiao Yuqi just took over the Herbal Pavilion and probably wasn’t aware of past grievances. But it was too hard for Aunt Chu..."
At this point, in the eyes of many as a man of steel who bled but never cried, Lu Kun’s eyes suddenly welled up as he continued:
"At that time, Aunt Chu was working overtime in order to gather money, even had to beg others, and almost had to kneel. I... I couldn’t take it!"
"But, I didn’t have the ability, I only had a little money with me which was simply not enough to solve Aunt Chu’s crisis. So, I had to go to Xiao Yuqi. But she still wouldn’t acknowledge it. I... I was just too anxious, so I thought of scaring him!"
"And then, you showed up..."
In saying the last sentence, his gaze fell on Yang Cheng.
"I remember now!"
After hearing so much, Chu Xiaoyu suddenly recalled something. She looked at Yang Cheng and said, "When Lu Kun’s parents were alive, they did engage in the herb growing business. That year, because the harvest was good, the Herbal Pavilion approached them, wanting a batch of herbs but unable to pay immediately. Lu Kun’s parents were kind-hearted and gave them 200,000 worth of herbs, this is true, I know!"
"Moreover, I never even cared about that 50,000 interest. All I want is to get back the 200,000 that belonged to my parents!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Lu Kun bit his lip tightly, with tears glistening in the corners of his eyes, looking very aggrieved.
"I’ll go find out!"
After learning about these things, Yang Cheng felt embarrassed instantly. He never imagined there was so much going on.
If all this was true, then he had completely misunderstood Lu Kun before.
What’s more, he had even given Lu Kun a good beating.
Just thinking about it made him feel awkward.
With this in mind, he quickly took out his phone, found Xiao Yuqi’s number, and dialed it, then put it on speaker mode.
"Hello, Yang Cheng, I’m so happy you called, I miss you so much, hmm~~"
Soon, Xiao Yuqi’s coquettish and sweet voice rang through the call.
Shush shush shush!
The next moment, everyone’s gaze fell on Yang Cheng. They all speculated that Yang Cheng’s relationship with Xiao Yuqi wasn’t simple, and it seemed that way, indeed.
There might have been something going on between the two already.
Another one!
Yang Rou couldn’t help but smile bitterly. How many women did her little brother get involved with out there!
Even though she felt a bit empty inside, she didn’t show it, after all, she was Yang Cheng’s sister and couldn’t display it too obviously.
But Fang Ling was very obvious, letting out a heavy huff, full of resentment in her eyes.
Beside her, Chu Xiaoyu heard her daughter’s voice clearly, and she sighed secretly. It seemed that her daughter had many competitors if she wanted to be with Yang Cheng.
"Ahem!"
Feeling the weird stares from everyone, Yang Cheng coughed lightly a couple of times, shifted the topic, and said, "Yuqi, I want to ask you something. Does the Herbal Pavilion owe a person named Lu Dahai 200,000?"
