"..." Li Jinshu.
’The worst thing for a good person is running into scoundrels like this.’
Li Jinshu felt so wronged she wanted to cry.
’If only Xu Yun were here right now.’
’He would know what to do.’
Perhaps a god had heard her wish.
With the roar of an engine, a black Bentley Continental GT coupe pulled to a stop in the parking lot in front of the funeral ho’s main hall.
It instantly drew everyone’s attention.
In a small county town, sightings of a luxury car like a Bentley were few and far between.
There were only a handful in the entire area.
And without exception, the owners were the few wealthiest bosses in town.
So for an unfamiliar Bentley to suddenly appear here was quite strange.
No one knew which family’s guest it was.
Just as everyone was wondering, Xu Yun pushed open the car door and stepped out.
He scanned his surroundings, and after spotting Li Jinshu, he started walking toward them.
A beautiful woman followed behind him.
The mont Li Jinshu saw him, her eyes stung, and it felt as if all the grievances she had just endured ca bursting forth.
"Xu Yun~ How did you get here?"
Xu Yun gave her a hug and smiled. "I saw your ssage saying your grandmother passed away, so I drove through the night. Glad I found the right place."
"Miss Li, please accept my condolences."
Yu Xuan said, "If there’s anything you need help with, please don’t hesitate to let know."
When Li Jinshu’s older brother and mother, Gong iping, saw Xu Yun, they also rembered who he was, and their expressions instantly soured.
The few aunts standing nearby were already intimidated by Xu Yun’s imposing presence.
They whispered to Gong iping, "Who is this man?"
"A creditor."
Gong iping whispered, "He’s the one who almost detained us last ti. Li Jinshu owes him 200,000 and hasn’t paid it back."
’This is a creditor?’
The aunts were stunned. Seeing the way the two of them greeted each other, anyone would have believed he was her boyfriend.
After the brief reunion, Xu Yun asked, "Why is it so deserted? Haven’t the funeral arrangents been made yet?"
"I’m out of money."
Li Jinshu said, "My parents took the money for my grandmother’s funeral and used it to buy my brother a car."
"..." Xu Yun was silent.
’What the hell, sothing like this can actually happen?!’
Xu Yun looked at the middle-aged couple and her brother in the distance, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"How much did you give them?"
"100,000!"
"Alright, I understand."
Xu Yun turned to Li Huaimin and Gong iping. "Your daughter borrowed 200,000 from . You’re aware of that, right?
Before she ca back the day before yesterday, she borrowed another 100,000 from .
I ca here today to collect the debt, but I hear you two took her money?"
"She gave it to us willingly," her brother, who had been kicked last ti, said timidly.
Li Jinshu said angrily, "That was for our grandmother’s funeral, not for you to buy a car!"
"What’s bought is bought."
On her ho turf, surrounded by her own people, Gong iping grew a bit bolder.
She said to Xu Yun, "Jinshu owes you money, so you should ask her for it. What does that have to do with us?
The money we have, she gave to us. You didn’t. Even if soone were to ask for it back, it should be her, not you."
"Then give the money now," Li Jinshu demanded loudly.
"We don’t have it."
Li Jinshu: "..."
"It’s fine. They’re just playing dirty. They’ll be crying about it later."
Xu Yun wasn’t one to get into a shouting match in public; it was too embarrassing.
He said to Li Jinshu, "Since your parents are unwilling to spend the money, you’ll just have to handle your grandmother’s funeral by yourself.
I’ll give you the money, and I’ll have Yu Xuan help you. Let’s get your grandmother laid to rest as soon as possible."
"Okay. Thank you, Xu Yun." Li Jinshu’s eyes reddened with gratitude.
"Alright. Now, start sending ssages to your family and friends. Tell everyone to co pay their respects tonight."
Xu Yun added, "And tell them they just need to show up. We won’t be accepting any gifts. If they really insist, they can send a wreath or two."
"Okay, I will." Li Jinshu agreed and started contacting people.
"Yu Xuan."
Xu Yun gave another order. "In a bit, contact the funeral ho staff about the morial hall and the banquet.
Then help Jinshu greet the friends and family who arrive. Any problem with that?"
"No problem. It may be my first ti with this, but it should be similar to a large gathering. I’m familiar with that."
Yu Xuan glanced at Li Jinshu’s parents and the others nearby and asked, "Boss, what about them...?"
"This is Jinshu’s morial service. What does it have to do with them? Get rid of them."
"That’s my mother-in-law! My child’s grandmother! And they are the old woman’s daughters!"
Gong iping retorted defiantly, "Why can’t we stay here?! What right do you, an outsider, have to ddle in our family’s affairs!"
"Fine. If you want to stay, then let them stay."
Xu Yun ignored them and continued, "But they’re not allowed to sit at the tables and eat the food I paid for. They can’t even have a sip of water."
"..." The crowd was speechless.
Yu Xuan nodded. "Alright, I understand."
"Okay, I’ll leave things here to you and Jinshu for now."
Xu Yun said, "I have to take care of sothing else. I’ll be back later."
"Understood, Boss."
The others on the side, seeing the beautiful Yu Xuan address him as "Boss" with such respect, were completely intimidated by his impressive aura.
He was clearly no ordinary person, not soone to be trifled with.
Accustod to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, the crowd was now filled with silent rage.
「...」
Xu Yun wasn’t familiar with this small county, but as long as you had money, nothing was a problem.
He saw a small advertisent for a loan pasted on the wall, dialed the number directly, and said he wanted to take out a loan.
