Chapter 1071 - 1070: The Ultimate Shamelessness
After breakfast, Kong Xiangrui took Lu Yiting back next door to the Kong Family’s home. After all, it was her uncle’s visit. It wouldn’t be nice for them to be absent. Luo Qiao packed some candied fruits and nuts for Lu Yiting to snack on.
Lu Xinyi and Gu Kairong were accompanying the old master in a chess game, while Luo Qiao prepared a pot of tea for them.
Gu Qianru called her two nieces by marriage and sister-in-law Wang Danli to play cards, while Stone and Taifeng took the kids to play puzzles in the lounge.
Lu Yichen and Lu Yixuan turned into waiters, pouring tea, serving water, and delivering fruit, bustling around joyfully.
Next door at the Kong Family’s, the atmosphere had already frozen solid, and each person present dared not say a word, as the Fu Family had come specifically to confront someone today.
Fu Lanhua’s Nephew had broken up with his girlfriend because he didn’t have a house, and due to this, he had been throwing tantrums at home, to the point that they hadn’t even enjoyed their reunion dinner last night.
This morning, Fu Lanhua’s Big Brother brought his son over early, intending to ask his sister to help scrape together some money to buy an apartment.
Fu Lanhua simply didn’t have that much money on hand, but seeing her big nephew so downhearted, she really felt sorry for him, and thus, she wanted all three of her sons to chip in.
The moment this was suggested, the room fell dead silent, and everyone’s expressions changed. They all knew what their uncle was like—if they lent this money, they might as well consider it a gift, as there was no chance it would ever be repaid.
So, just like students who don’t know the answer when the teacher asks a question, they all lowered their heads in silence, the atmosphere becoming incredibly awkward.
Kong Cunlai, seeing his children’s expressions, said, "Big Brother, buying a house isn’t a trifling matter. It’s not the same as coming over to ask Lanhua for a couple of bucks one day, and three the next. To buy even a modest apartment would cost several thousand at least. I just want to know, how much money do you have on hand right now?"
