Surprise! Love-brained Mr. Li has made his ex-girlfriend his girlfriend

Chapter 353 The Misery of Money

Because it involved the issue of Lin Huanxi's code being stolen, Lu Xingchen chatted with Lin Huanxi and the others for a while.

Finally, Cheng Xiao concluded, "In short, Xingchen is fine, which is the most fortunate thing. As for people like Su Wanyi who repays the kindness of saving her life with hatred, and Bai Zixuan who refuses to change after repeated admonitions, they will definitely get the corresponding retribution."

After listening to them, Lu Xingchen also said to them: "Okay, let's go back to work after we're full, and this matter will be over."

As for the two large trucks or other details and doubts, Lu Xingchen did not intend to tell them. First, there was no evidence at the moment, and second, some things were not suitable for discussion.

But after returning to the office, Lin Huanxi still went to Lu Xingchen's office to meet her privately.

Seeing Lin Huanxi sitting down, he seemed to be hesitant to speak, so Lu Xingchen couldn't help but ask with a smile: "Do you want to talk about Yuan Xiaoyi?"

Lin Huanxi didn't expect that he would be discovered at once, and he scratched his hair embarrassedly.

"Brother Chen, at first I thought Yuan Xiaoyi didn't hold her accountable because she wanted to save her sister. Afterwards I wondered if I was too emotional and felt bad for a long time."

Lu Xingchen had also heard about this from Li Zhen, but she didn't plan to tell Lin Huanxi. After all, if Lin Huanxi wanted to tell her, she wouldn't have gone to Li Zhen to talk about it. Now that she mentioned it, she naturally couldn't tell her that Li Zhen had said this, otherwise it would seem that Li Zhen couldn't keep it a secret.

So, she listened quietly as Lin Huanxi continued, "Now that this matter is related to you, I am even more afraid. If I had not been blindly tolerant and thoroughly investigated Yuan Xiaoyi, would I have been able to find out about Su Wanyi earlier? If you are really hurt in this matter, I really don't know how to make amends."

"Don't think too much." Lu Xingchen really didn't think about what Lin Huanxi was thinking. "First of all, there is no such possibility. I am fine now. Secondly, the reason why I didn't continue to pursue Yuan Xiaoyi was not only because of what you said, but also because this matter involves the Lu family, and you know my identity."

Lin Huanxi nodded.

Lu Xingchen smiled and said, "So, you don't need to feel any burden. If I think your suggestion is not feasible or does not make sense, I will tell you directly."

Lin Huanxi was relieved when he heard this, but he didn't completely relax.

"I don't know if my brother has told you about our family situation. The reason why I deeply understand the difficulties of poor people borrowing money, especially borrowing life-saving money, is because my family, including my second brother's family, have had such experiences."

Li Zhen didn't deliberately mention his father's accident and the difficulties at home, but she knew that Lu Xingchen had been with him when their family was having a hard time, and later she heard Luo Shi talk about his family and Li Zhen's family, so she knew about the difficulties of Li Zhen's family.

However, Lin Huanxi seemed to need to talk, so Lu Xingchen continued to be a quiet listener.

Lin Huanxi continued, "Before my second uncle got into trouble, my brother, I mean my eldest brother, got into trouble first. He was in his early twenties at the time and went out to eat with his girlfriend. When he stood up to answer the phone, his girlfriend was approached by a man. His girlfriend ignored him, so the man brought a few of his accomplices to make trouble and even touched her.

My brother came back and saw his girlfriend being bullied, so he attacked her and ended up beating her so hard that she was hospitalized with severe head injuries. At the time, we thought we could use "self-defense" to save my brother, but after consulting, everyone said that self-defense was not an option and the best we could do was to use excessive defense.

However, excessive self-defense can be sentenced to three to seven years in prison depending on the circumstances. In order to prevent my brother from having a criminal record, my parents went through a lot of connections and begged the other party's family for a long time before they agreed to settle the case privately, but they demanded a high amount of compensation. At that time, our family was not well-off, and even after selling the old and dilapidated house we lived in, it was not enough. We also borrowed a lot of foreign debts to barely settle the matter.

During this period, I saw my mother cry many times. These tears were not only because of my eldest brother, but also because she was rejected when she asked others to borrow money. Some of them were people our family had helped before, and my mother felt heartbroken.

What's even more heartbreaking is that my brother's girlfriend's family wanted to buy a house for their son first, and refused to use the money. Of course, my brother's girlfriend also left because my family was poor.

So, my brother’s fight was in vain, his detention for so many days was in vain, and our family lost everything and in the end it was just like drawing water with a bamboo basket.

To make matters worse, less than a year had passed since this incident, my second uncle had been in a traffic accident. Both our families had just been bankrupted because of my brother's affairs, and my second uncle's life was in danger. The driver who caused the accident even jumped into the river and committed suicide. So we started a new round of selling things and borrowing money, but our two families were the same relatives and had just borrowed money from them not long ago, so it would be even more difficult to borrow again now.

Do you know that there are people lying on hospital beds waiting for money to save their lives, but no one will lend them money even if they kneel down and bang their heads against the wall. It is like being desperate and having no one to turn to, but they have to keep going.

Our family was really afraid of borrowing money, so much so that later my sister... Sister Li Shu would rather give up the opportunity to study abroad than let the family borrow money again, but the family still couldn't bear to give up, and as a result, before the money was borrowed, the quota was snatched away by the second generation of officials and rich people. "

When Lin Huanxi said this, his face, which was immersed in heavy memories, suddenly smiled, and he looked at Lu Xingchen and said, "You should be very clear about this matter. If you hadn't helped at that time, we really could only watch Sister Li Shu being forced to give up the opportunity and be powerless.

Therefore, I, and probably everyone in my family, have a fear of borrowing money. Even though our family conditions have gradually improved, and even though Brother Li Zhen has reached his current position and seems to have everything he needs, that experience will always be imprinted on the trajectory of our lives, including our mental journey. "

Lu Xingchen may not have experienced such a miserable life without money, but there are also people who have fallen from the top of the pyramid of power and wealth to the bottom, so she can understand what Lin Huanxi said.

So after Lin Huanxi finished her talk, she once again expressed her understanding and said that she liked the tenacity and kindness of Lin Huanxi and his family, otherwise she would not have fallen for Li Zhen.

Only then did Lin Huanxi feel completely relieved.

Lu Tangchen watched Lin Huanxi's back as she left, and suddenly missed his mother very much, so he called Xu Fanghua.

"Ms. Xu, are you working?"

Xu Fanghua said: "No, some students came to the theater to participate in the competition this morning. I just sent them to their parents' cars and I am looking for a place to eat."

Lu Xingchen looked at the time and said, "Why haven't you eaten yet at this hour? Let's go eat first."

"It's okay. I'm not hungry." Xu Fanghua's voice was full of joy.

Lu Xingchen asked: "Did the student win a prize?"

"I got first place in the group dance and third place in the solo dance." Xu Fanghua's words were full of pride.

Lu Xingchen suddenly felt that she seemed to have used her emotions to help her mother, and she was obviously living a good and fulfilling life now. So she didn't say anything else, but sincerely praised her for her achievements.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while.

Xu Fanghua asked: "What's the matter with you calling me?"

"No." I just heard Lin Huanxi talking about her family and suddenly missed her. "I just wanted to ask when you have time to make an appointment with me."

The mother and daughter ended the call happily. Xu Fanghua saw a group of young people dancing street dance enthusiastically outside the theater square.

When she passed by, a young man who was free battling suddenly made a relay move to her.

Then a group of young people cheered and called out to her. Xu Fanghua pointed at herself, and those children immediately made the LOVE gesture.

Xu Fanghua knew the rules a little bit, so she just tied her long hair into a high ponytail and joined in.

Although there is a huge age gap between them, the charm of dance is not. The young man couldn't help but admire her when he saw her dancing professionally.

Another person who was attracted by her and stopped to watch was Lu Dingsheng, who was about to walk towards the parking lot.
