Chapter 834 He took away several years' worth of wages
Holding that money felt like being slapped in the face.
He handed Yuyao a heavy bag of money, which she happily accepted.
The smile he received felt like another slap across the face.
"I knew you had money, but you're still pretending with me. Humph, you can't even come up with this little bit of money after working your whole life? Do you think I'm stupid? If you really can't come up with it, then it must be because you're giving it to some random woman outside."
Seeing her smile as she counted the money, Lu Jiangting clenched his fists.
Little did she know that this money would be enough to pay him back for many years, and Fu Huaiyi said he would deduct it from his salary every month from now on.
At this moment, she looked so greedy; there was no trace of her youthful self left.
She... is no longer herself.
"Are you happy now?"
Lin Yuyao laughed heartily, "Of course."
“You…” Lu Jiangting trembled with anger, “How could you become so shameless and greedy?”
Lin Yuyao paused in counting the money and said calmly, "You're talking about yourself, aren't you? You're the most shameless and greedy one."
"What? Me?"
"Isn't it you? You want everything, what is that if not greed? You shamelessly... ha."
At this point, Lin Yuyao gave a self-deprecating laugh and said, "Never mind, you wouldn't understand anyway."
He didn't understand. He didn't understand why she had become like this, why she couldn't understand him.
They could have had a bright future, but she ruined it all because of her pettiness.
Disappointment after disappointment made him completely lose all affection for her.
……
Lu Jiangting woke up with a start and looked around in fear.
On the other side, Yi Yunshuo looked at him in horror while clutching the blanket.
Lu Jiangting also saw him. After a few seconds of eye contact, Lu Jiangting's thoughts returned to reality, and he let out a long sigh of relief.
"How long have I been asleep?"
Yi Yunshuo also let out a long sigh of relief.
"Not long, about an hour and a half."
Lu Jiangting nodded and stopped talking, sitting quietly to the side like a statue.
Yi Yunshuo couldn't stand the boring and suffocating environment, so he took the initiative to talk to him.
"Hey, did you just have a nightmare?"
Lu Jiangting nodded.
Yi Yunshuo: "So what did you dream about?"
“I…I dreamt that I borrowed money from Huaiyi.”
"Borrow money? Did he lend you any?"
Lu Jiangting nodded.
"Why do you need to borrow money from him?"
"My daughter wants to start a company, but we don't have enough money."
Yi Yunshuo chuckled.
"Your daughter? Where did you get a daughter? You don't even know where your wife is, let alone a daughter. Your ex-wife can't have children."
"You even dreamed that you had a daughter? What kind of nightmare is that? You're so happy, I think you're about to die of happiness."
Lu Jiangting: "..."
"Tsk, you even want Brother Yi to lend you money? If Brother Yi had this dream, it would be a nightmare."
Yi Yunshuo is the kind of person who, once he starts talking, can't stop and can talk for ages.
"Besides, where does Brother Yi get the money? He hands over all his salary, and he's poorer than me now."
"If he's lending you money, shouldn't he discuss it with Sister Lin first?"
"Don't you know about your past life feud with Sister Lin? Can Sister Lin lend you money?"
"Then how can he lend you money? He can only steal. If he steals from his own home, won't Sister Lin break his legs?"
"Besides, what kind of relationship do you have with him? Do you think he would risk getting his leg broken to lend you money? Pah! You're dreaming. You're dreaming too much."
"If it were me, it might be possible, after all, I am his half-brother."
"But... if I ask him for money, he won't get beaten up."
“I won’t even look for him. I’ll go straight to Sister Lin. Sister Lin is my half-sister, she’ll definitely lend it to me.”
Lu Jiangting now deeply regrets telling him this.
He just said one sentence, and Yi Yunshuo came up with a script.
After Grandpa Fu and the others returned, the group headed to Nancheng that very day, not wanting to stay even a day longer.
After traveling all night, I arrived home early the next morning.
Lin Yuyao was stunned when she saw the person standing at the bedroom door. "You're back?"
"Well, I'm back."
"Just come back."
After a while, she finally pulled him into the house.
……
Fu Huaiyi returned first, while the others followed.
When the two came downstairs, they saw Yi Yunshuo talking to Fu Yatong downstairs.
"It wasn't that serious to begin with. It was just a few people fighting each other. They wouldn't gain much advantage or suffer much loss. It's all shameful stuff. If we don't talk about it, that bastard won't have the face to say it either."
But as the beating went on, Lu Jiangting had a fit and started beating that bastard to death. You have no idea how strong a madman is; my brother Yi and I couldn't stop him, and we almost got beaten to death by that bastard.”
Fu Yatong covered her mouth, "If it was that guy surnamed Lu who beat you so badly, how come you two got in too?"
"What can we do? The three of us will go at it together. Who cares how many more or fewer punches you throw? We'll all share the consequences. Besides, that bastard's after Brother Yi."
Lin Yuyao looked at the person next to her, "Why were they coming for you?"
"Cough cough..." He touched his nose, pondering how to bring this up, when Yi Yunshuo interrupted him.
Yi Yunshuo said, "We had a grudge against that bastard a long time ago. We beat him up back then, and the matter was suppressed and kept quiet. He was young and didn't know what was going on back then, but he's become more worldly and has figured things out in the past few years. Among all the people he's offended, the only one who could have handled that matter so flawlessly is Brother Yi."
Lin Yuyao looked at Fu Huaiyi, wanting to hear what he had to say.
Fu Huaiyi could only sigh helplessly.
"It's been so many years. Back then, we were young and hot-blooded. A bunch of men getting together and having a fight was no big deal. How was I supposed to know that this bastard would hold a grudge?"
Yi Yunshuo agreed, "Exactly. After all these years, who would have thought that bastard has been holding a grudge all this time? He doesn't dare to come to Nancheng to cause trouble for us, after all, this isn't his territory. Didn't the three of us just happen to be at his territory on this business trip to the north?"
He'd planned to get back at us from the start, but hey, the grandson's gotten clever; he held back for half a month, waiting until we finished our work and were about to leave before finally making his move.
Lin Yuyao looked at Fu Huaiyi, "Is that really it?"
Fu Huaiyi nodded and said, "Yes."
"Is he the classmate you mentioned before, the one with the powerful connections?"
"Ah."
Lin Yuyao took a deep breath, "Well... since he holds such a grudge, and Grandpa is getting old..."
It's easier to see the King of Hell than to deal with his underlings.
She didn't need to explain it clearly; they understood her concerns.
The Fu family is facing a period of transition, but with the old master here today, everything is alright.
What about the future?
Just then, the old man came in, leaning on his cane.
"What's there to be afraid of?" the old man said in a strong voice. "I'm old as an old man, and so is that old man in their family. In fact, that old man in their family isn't as healthy as me. He's already using a cane, while I..."
He looked down and tossed his cane aside.
“I don’t call this a cane, I call it a walking stick. It doesn’t affect my walking even without it.”
