The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity-Chapter 439 - 437: Daughters Are Treasures, Sons Are Just Grass
Chapter 439: Chapter 437: Daughters Are Treasures, Sons Are Just Grass
Entering Lu Tingsheng’s house, he had his wife call their son Lu Jun out.
Seeing Chu Yan, Lu Jun looked a bit tense.
He never expected things to develop to this point.
For a high school student, if he were to go to prison for committing a crime, it would practically ruin his life.
"What are you standing there for like an idiot? Call him."
Lu Tingsheng shot Lu Jun a glance, and only then did Lu Jun call out dryly, "Cousin."
"He’s young and nearly got scared witless by this mess."
Lu Tingsheng invited Chu Yan to sit down and even brewed him some fine tea.
"I had consulted a lawyer previously, and the lawyer said if her family insists on accusing our Lu Jun of coercion, it is very likely that Lu Jun will be sentenced.
They were legitimately dating, all the other students knew they were boyfriend and girlfriend.
Her family is just too shameless, trying to scheme against our Lu Jun like this."
"It’s shameless, so young and already knowing how to seduce others, and then playing the victim."
Lu Tingsheng’s wife couldn’t help but complain.
"If it wasn’t for that girl inviting Lu Jun to her house, how could they have possibly ended up having relations?"
Chu Yan replied with a cold expression, "If they really have evidence, and she insists on accusing Lu Jun of coercion, it’s very likely the accusation will be successful."
Lu Jun stuttered, "What, what do we do? I don’t want to go to prison."
"Xiao Yan, why don’t you lend me some money? Your dad is so wealthy, you definitely can’t lack any benefits, you’ve been living quite well these years, haven’t you? Two million is nothing to you."
Lu Tingsheng finished speaking, and his wife chimed in, "Yeah, you lend us two million, so we can settle this privately with that family. As long as they don’t sue Lu Jun, this issue can be resolved."
Chu Yan didn’t speak, and Lu Tingsheng’s wife continued, "Chu Yan, back when your mother couldn’t afford to support you, it was us who lent her a considerable sum, allowing you to complete high school.
Later, when you went to the province for the college entrance examination, and your mother suddenly passed away, it was also us who helped with the funeral arrangements. Now that you’ve made it, you can’t forget this kindness.
You’ve invested so much in the village, two million must be a trifle to you."
If we’re talking about past kindnesses, Chu Yan also helped them quite a lot.
If it weren’t for Chu Yan, a person like Lu Tingsheng with only elementary school education couldn’t have possibly become a village official, nor could he have built a large villa and bought luxury cars within a few years.
They had even borrowed money from Chu Yan in the past, claiming it was for emergencies each time.
Starting with tens of thousands, later on, they asked for hundreds of thousands.
Chu Yan initially thought there were real emergencies until he found out that they had taken the money and splurged. In total, he had lent them roughly a million, which they had yet to return.
Now asking him for another two million, it was predictable they wouldn’t return it either.
Although Chu Yan earned quite a bit every year, it made no sense to give away the money he had worked hard for to others.
Moreover, he was now a family man and had to take care of his household.
Once Qin Zhao had a baby, he was also worried that his money might not be enough to support his daughter.
"I don’t have two million."
Chu Yan refused, "Business has been losing money recently."
"How can you not have it?"
Lu Tingsheng suddenly raised his voice, realizing he had gotten too excited, he calmed his emotions back down.
"I remember you have quite a few houses in the village, not to mention the old house left by your mother, you also own several properties in the newly built villa area.
You’re not living in those houses anyway, you might as well sell a few to lend us the money."
"I can’t sell those houses."
Chu Yan’s expression became displeased at this point.
"I’m saving them for my son."
He had already thought about it, in the future, if Qin Zhao has a baby and it’s a boy, all the property in his hometown would go to the son, while he and Qin Zhao would live in Imperial City.
If it’s a girl, the properties in Imperial City would go to the daughter.
If his daughter likes another place, he can also buy a house there to give to her.
As for the son...
Chu Yan felt there was no need to give the son anything too good; it was better for him to struggle on his own.
He also hadn’t planned on leaving the old house to his son directly, that would depend on his mood later on.
He said this now just to reject Lu Tingsheng’s request.
"Your... your wife is pregnant?"
After hesitating for a while, Lu Tingsheng finally squeezed out those words.
"No, but we’re planning on having children."
"The children won’t need those houses until they grow up, it’s fine to sell them now."
Chu Yan looked at him, with cold eyes.
Lu Tingsheng fell silent, a sense of unease inexplicably struck his heart.
After a long while, Chu Yan finally said, "Let me see the surveillance footage first."
"Why do you still want to see that?"
"If I don’t see the surveillance, I won’t get involved in this matter. You can solve it yourselves."
Chu Yan stood up from his seat.
Protely, Lu Tingsheng and his wife urged, "Don’t go, we’ll show you!"
After some hesitation, Lu Tingsheng found the footage that the girl’s father had sent to his phone.
Lu Jun and the girl had done it in their living room.
The footage showed the living room where two immature bodies embraced.
Everyone felt very uncomfortable watching the video, with embarrassment written all over their faces.
Chu Yan watched the uncensored clip without expression on his face, and felt no disturbance inside.
The young boy and girl looked like two dying bean sprouts, nothing worth seeing.
Lu Jun had gone to the girl’s house, and they initially just sat on the sofa watching TV, then it was Lu Jun who made the first move, removing the girl’s clothes.
In the process, the girl even resisted.
After they finished, the girl sat on the sofa crying, and Lu Jun comforted her.
Not long after, the young couple started playfully bickering.
"Although it can’t be described as coercion, if the girl insists it was, Lu Jun’s actions could be considered enticement, and you guys really don’t have a leg to stand on."
"It can’t be counted like this, right? She must have known what Lu Jun wanted to do."
Lu Tingsheng continued, "I asked around at school, and this girl had several boyfriends before Lu Jun! She’s been promiscuous!
Maybe she was just pretending, and it was her who actively invited Lu Jun to her house!"
"That child’s father is a gambler, they just want money."
"Personally, I think it’s better to settle privately with money. If this gets blown up, the rumors outside won’t sound good. Our family still needs to maintain face in the village!"
Lu Tingsheng and his wife kept pestering Chu Yan.
Chu Yan said, "First pay back the money you borrowed from me, and then I’ll lend you two million."
"What? We have to pay back this money?"
Lu Tingsheng’s wife, discontented, spoke, "Chu Yan, you followed your dad living the high life, fussing over such a small sum from us.
After your dad left for Imperial City, he never once cared about our wellbeing.
Back when your grandparents and your biological mother passed away, it was us who took care of the arrangements!"
