Romantic Medical Immortal-Chapter 278: The Debt Collection Story (Part 2)
"What did you say!!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuqi’s eyes widened suddenly, her face revealing an unmistakable look of shock.
Cousins...?
These words hit Xiao Yuqi’s heart with enormous force.
How could it be!
She and Lu Kun were almost strangers; how could they be cousins?
After the initial shock, she immediately said, "Dad, you aren’t lying to me, are you?"
"No!"
Xiao Shan remained calm as always, and sighed, "Now that your grandfather has passed, some things should be told to you. Lu Kun is my sister’s child, and at the same time your aunt’s son!"
Boom!!
Learning this, Xiao Yuqi’s mind buzzed intensely, and she momentarily lost all ability to think,
Aunt’s child!
Lu Kun was actually her aunt’s child.
For a moment, she was absolutely stunned in place. It took quite a while before she opened her mouth to ask, "Since he’s my aunt’s child, then Lv Dahai is my uncle. Why did Grandpa lend him two hundred thousand and not repay?"
"Because he caused your aunt’s death!"
As he spoke, Xiao Shan’s tone also turned sorrowful, he continued, "In the past, when our family ran a medical clinic, your aunt often went to the countryside to procure herbs and fell in love with Lv Dahai. When your grandfather found out, he was furious and strongly opposed them being together... But your aunt was very stubborn, she defied your grandfather’s wishes and insisted on being with Lv Dahai, moving to the countryside to grow herbs!"
"And then?"
Xiao Yuqi clearly remembered that when she first started primary school, she had an aunt, and she was extremely beautiful, often taking her out to buy all sorts of tasty treats.
At that time, she really liked her aunt and would boast to her friends about having such a great aunt.
But then one day, her aunt disappeared!
From that day onwards, she never came back.
At the time, she asked her grandfather where her aunt went, but he was especially angry and shouted that her aunt was dead!!
Because of those words, she cried for a very long time!
Only now did she understand that her aunt wasn’t dead, rather she defied her grandfather’s objections and married into the countryside.
In that instant, she suddenly became excited, and immediately said, "So you’re saying my aunt is still alive now?"
"Dead!"
Xiao Shan’s words dealt another heavy blow to Xiao Yuqi.
The smile on her face disappeared instantly, and she immediately asked, "How did... how did she die?"
"Car accident!"
Xiao Shan’s tone had grown extremely heavy, he continued as he fought back the sadness, "Your aunt followed Lv Dahai in growing herbs, one time while driving to deliver goods to the county, she got into an accident. By the time she was taken to the hospital, she wasn’t breathing anymore. At that time, Lu Kun was just six years old!!"
Xiao Yuqi said, "So Grandpa especially hated Uncle, and deliberately didn’t repay him the money!"
"That’s right!"
Xiao Shan nodded emphatically, and continued, "At that time, your aunt had just obtained her driver’s license and was out delivering goods. Your grandfather hated Lv Dahai deeply, even though Lv Dahai had promised your grandfather to take good care of your aunt, but this happened."
"And what happened later?"
Xiao Yuqi continued to ask.
"Later, Lv Dahai raised Lu Kun alone. They weren’t rich, but somehow managed. Unexpectedly, a few years later, he also passed away, leaving only Lu Kun behind. Then your grandfather considered bringing Lu Kun back to the Xiao Family but was rejected by a woman named Chu Xiaoyu who adopted him."
"She was quite extraordinary, back then she partnered with a man named Yang Feng in business, and they were highly successful, so Lu Kun led a good and happy life, and your grandfather decided to let it go."
"But afterward, something happened to Yang Feng, the company closed, and he went missing. Then Chu Xiaoyu struggled with debts, and their life became harder and harder. By that time, Lu Kun had grown up and was able to take care of himself."
Xiao Shan told Xiao Yuqi everything he knew.
"Perhaps Grandpa hated Lv Dahai, hated my aunt, but Lu Kun is innocent. Our Xiao Family should take care of him, and the money should be given to him."
Xiao Yuqi suddenly became anxious and said.
"Qi’er, after all, he is his grandson; how could your grandfather stand idly by? He was just not a man who expressed himself well. While Lv Dahai was alive, your grandfather strongly opposed repaying the money, but after Lv Dahai died, he considered giving the money to Lu Kun."
"However, because Lu Kun was still young, he wanted to wait a while before giving it, but then your grandfather grew old, year after year, suffered a stroke and passed away!"
"That’s partly my fault because I was too busy developing Herbal Pavilion and overlooked Lu Kun, also forgetting to give him those two hundred thousand. Now that he’s grown up, we should really make it up to him since he’s our grandson!"
After finishing the last sentence, Xiao Shan sighed heavily, his tone full of self-blame.
"I understand, I’ll handle this!"
After speaking, Xiao Yuqi hung up the phone.
She sat silently in the chair for a few minutes, picking up the phone again just as Yang Cheng sent her the address.
Along with a sentence: Make sure to come tonight!
Xiao Yuqi immediately replied with an ’ok’ emoji. Then, she found a phone number and dialed out: "Hello, Finance, prepare two hundred thousand for me... no, prepare one million in cash, yes, I need it tonight, before six-thirty!!"
...
At seven o’clock!
Peach Blossom Haven Hotel.
Today, Yang Cheng was quite generous, treating various partners and all employees of Chu Xiaoyu to a meal, occupying five tables.
Everyone was very happy, especially after hearing that Yang Cheng had developed an incredibly magical facial mask, they admired him greatly, relieved that their factory would no longer suffer, and their future income would stabilize.
In Yang Cheng’s private room, it was very lively.
The group chatted enthusiastically!
Lv Hai sat in the corner, head down, seemingly lost in thought, appearing very desolate.
"What are you thinking?"
Yang Cheng sat next to Lv Hai, offering him a cigarette, and asked.
"Sorry!"
Lv Hai took the cigarette and cast a guilty glance, saying, "Previously, I shouldn’t have done something to harm Xiao Yuqi while trying to collect debts. I was just too anxious, wanting to share some of the burden with Aunty Chu. Luckily, you showed up in time."
"Even if I hadn’t shown up, you wouldn’t have continued to harm Xiao Yuqi, you just wanted to scare her, right?"
Yang Cheng took a drag on the cigarette and asked.
Lu Kun looked at Yang Cheng and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Because, deep down, you are a kind person!"
Through today’s events, Yang Cheng completely changed his perception of Lu Kun. He firmly believed that this man, who appeared rugged on the outside, had a kind heart.
At these words, Lu Kun suddenly felt a sharp sensation in his nose, his eyes slightly reddening. He immediately raised his head to stop his tears from falling, "Huh, I’m not kind at all, I’m bad to the bone, stealing chickens and fighting my whole life, everyone says I am a born troublemaker!!"
Looking at Lu Kun at this moment, for some reason, Yang Cheng’s heart felt sour too. He didn’t say anything, just quietly smoked.
Lu Kun also remained silent, tightly clutching the IOU, his gaze fixed on something outside the window, lost in thought.
Bang!!
A few minutes later, suddenly the door burst open, holding a white suitcase, Xiao Yuqi dashed into the room.
Her gaze swept around and finally landed on Lu Kun sitting in the corner...
