C7 Redeeming His Father-in-law with Money
About ten minutes later, Lau Qingyan and Lin Muyun finally got back to Jiqing Hall.
Inside the hall, Xu Feng and Lau Minghou had been pacing back and forth for a long time. They were so worried that they were at their wits' end.
A few burly bodyguards in suits stood around them as they guarded the two intently. The tension in the atmosphere was very serious.
When they saw Lau Qingyan and Lin Muyun arrive, Xu Feng hurriedly ran over towards them and frantically asked, "Qingyan, did you manage to borrow money?"
Lau Qingyan quickly answered, "Yes, mom. I have already borrowed it. Here is the cheque."
As she spoke, Lau Qingyan carefully took out the eight million cheque from her bag and handed it to Xu Feng.
When Lau Minghou saw this, the worry on his face finally eased up and he heaved a sigh, realizing that he would not end up in jail. He was so happy that he couldn't even speak with tearing up eyes.
Xu Feng also squealed very excitedly, "I did not expect Young Master Zhang to be so generous, seeing that he easily lent you eight million!"
After saying that, her expression changed and Xu Feng glared at Lin Muyun. Raising her finger, she pointed at him and said harshly, "You! Look at how generous Young Master Zhang is, and look at how poor you are. If you really have an affection for Qingyan, quickly divorce her and let her marry Young Master Zhang. Only then can she live a good life."
Not bothering to mind her words, Lin Muyun shrugged his shoulders. His mother-in-law had always looked down on him. He had never heard a word of praise from her after all.
Lau Qingyan stopped her mother helplessly, "Mom, stop. Things are not what you think."
Xu Feng could not help but retort, "Qingyan, don't try to say good things about this loser. This is the evidence of how good Young Master Zhang is to you. Compared to Lin Muyun, the difference is like heaven and earth."
"Actually, mom, this money was borrowed by Muyun!"
Hearing this, Xu Feng couldn’t believe her ears. She insisted, "What? Didn’t you borrow it from Young Master Zhang. Do you mean that this trash managed to borrow it from someone else?"
Lau Qingyan quickly explained, "Mom, Zhang Wenhao is a shameless bastard. Not only did he not intend to lend me money, he even wanted to violate me. Fortunately, Muyun came over and interrupted him. Now, he has been imprisoned and will never come out again for good."
Then, Lau Qingyan continued, "It is all thanks to Muyun that I could come back intact. If he did not help me in lending eight million from his friend, I would not know what to do."
After hearing Lau Qingyan's words, Xu Feng's expression became unusually complicated. The trash that she had never looked up to was actually the one who helped in this crisis. On the other hand, Young Master Zhang, whom she regarded as her life-saving straw, actually ended up be ing a scum.
When she thought of the spoken harsh words and ridicule she had for Lin Muyun constantly, Xu Feng immediately felt so ashamed that her face went red.
From the side, Lau Minghou also smiled awkwardly and said in a flattering tone, "No matter who borrowed it, as long as they could get money, it’s good. Good!"
This time, Xu Feng turned out to glare at him. "What's so good about it? No matter what, Qingyan still needs to return the money. Where would we find that much money? Look at the trouble you caused! You wait, I will settle the score with you as soon as we get home."
Lau Minghou's old face turned red and he pursed his mouth in shame. "Alright. "
From the corner, the manager of Jiqing Hall saw them arrive and walked over. He asked coldly, "Mr. Lau, have you prepared the money yet?"
Lau Minghou quickly bowed and answered, "Yes, yes. The money is all ready. Here is the cheque."
Then, Lau Minghou carefully observed the manager of Jiqing Hall before asking hesitantly, "So…can I leave now?"
The manager of Jiqing Hall waved his hand and replied in a good mood, "Of course."
After returning home.
When Xu Feng saw Lin Muyun standing aside, she ordered, "What are you waiting for? Go and cook a bowl of noodles for your dad."
Lin Muyun smiled and obediently complied, "Okay, I will go and cook the noodles now."
Lau Minghou glanced at his wife with a nervous look and stepped towards her while speaking obsequiously, "Wife, it's all thanks to you and Qingyan this time. Otherwise, I would have ended up very miserable."
In fact, it would have been fine if Lau Minghou did not say anything. Now, it was like he had poked a tiger since his words made Xu Feng even angrier.
Instantly, she shouted her head off, "You still have the nerve to mention it?! If you hadn't broken the bottle of Jiqing Hall, would you have paid eight million to Jiqing Hall, huh?!"
"It's all Lin Muyun's fault. If he didn’t think of parking his car in Antique Street, I wouldn't have been able to see the bottle and have the desire to check it out, resulting in breaking it."
Lau Minghou quickly defended himself and shirked responsibility, instead blaming it on Lin Muyun shamelessly.
However, Xu Feng got even angrier the longer this matter went on. She wailed in distress, "Now that the family owes so many foreign debts, what should we do?"
Lau Minghou admitted obsequiously, "Wife, I know I was wrong. Don’t be angry anymore."
Lau Qingyan listened to her parents' quarrel and could not help but frown. She thought to herself, ‘Although Muyun's friend is not in a hurry to retrieve the money, there was still two million at home. I should return two million first before thinking of a way to return the remaining money.’
At this moment, Lin Muyun walked over with a bowl of noodles in his hands and placed it in front of Lau Minghou.
Seeing Muyun, Lau Qingyan no longer hesitated and said to Xu Feng, "Mom, let’s give our family's two million to Muyun first and let him return the money to the person who lent him the money."
Xu Feng frowned and replied discontentedly, "If we give away the two million to others, how are we going to live?"
As she spoke, Xu Feng glanced at Lin Muyun and tried to persuade with a smile on her face, "Muyun, can you talk to your rich second generation friend and ask him to give us some time?"
Lin Muyun smiled and responded good-naturedly, "No problem."
"Absolutely not." Lau Qingyan stood up at this time as she stared at Lin Muyun. Then, she turned to Xu Feng and persuaded, "Mom, you shouldn’t delay like this. Transfer the money to Muyun first, okay?"
Xu Feng looked like she still wanted to delay as she hesitated, "But…"
Lau Qingyan didn’t leave a room for argument as she said firmly, "Mom, no buts. The money must be given to Muyun."
Xu Feng sighed helplessly and dispiritedly handed her phone to Lau Qingyan. The money in the family had always been controlled by Xu Feng and so, it was always stored in the bank of her phone.
Lau Qingyan took the phone and immediately transferred the two million to Lin Muyun's account.
"Ding."
Lin Muyun took out his phone to check as he received a message from the bank. It mentioned that his balance had increased by two million.
"Wife, I have received it."
Lau Qingyan nodded and said, "Transfer the money to your friend as early as possible. Remember to say thank you for me."
Lin Muyun nodded and replied, "Don't worry, wife. I will."
Xu Feng stared at the harmonious behavior of the couple and became even more dissatisfied with her husband, Lau Minghou. She glared at him and said, "You only know how to eat. Look at what kind of stupid things you have done!"
Lau Minghou shrank his head and did not dare to retort anything nor did he dare to stay in the living room any longer. He quickly picked up the bowl and waddled out of the living room with his tail between his legs.
In the evening, after dinner.
Lin Muyun was cleaning the pots and pans in the kitchen when his phone rang suddenly.
He took out his phone and saw that the caller ID was the newly promoted president, Wang Lixue from Wanhao Company.
Lin Muyun looked around to check in case the others were around before he pressed the answer button.
Wang Lixue respectful’s voice came from the other side of the phone, "Young master, the agreement signing event of Wanhao Company requires you to personally sign it. I don't know when you are free."
Lin Muyun patted his head as he vaguely remembered what Soong Yuluo said to him. It seemed that Soong Yuluo had once mentioned that as the actual ruler of Wanhao Company, without his permission signature, Wang Lixue would not be able to do many things.
Thinking of this, Lin Muyun responded, "I have time tomorrow. Wait for me at the company."
Wang Lixue's tone did not change at all as he continued to speak respectfully, "Okay, young master. Then, I will see you tomorrow."
“Okay.” Then, Lin Muyun hung up the phone.
At this moment, his Wife Lau Qingyan walked over in her pajamas. When she saw Lin Muyun standing in the kitchen while holding a phone, she asked suspiciously, "Who are you talking to on your phone at this time? It's pretty late. It’s time to rest."
Without a blink, Lin Muyun made up an excuse, "It's for the sales. I’ll go to sleep now since I’m done washing."
Hearing this, Qingyan did not doubt him anymore. After she returned to her room, she got into bed.
Lin Muyun spreaded the blanket on the ground, covered his body with the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.
