Chapter 577: Pay The Debt Back!
Luo Huian grabbed hold of the man who was crying on the floor and then dragged him out of the ward without any qualms. Her actions were so quick that, forget about Luo Yeqing, even Qin Zhengbang was not able to understand what happened to him all of a sudden. By the time he realised that something had happened to him, he was sitting outside the ward, with the door closed behind him.
"Eh? Eh? EHHH?" Qin Zhengbang raised his head and looked behind him. He understood what happened and immediately scrambled to his feet as he started to bang on the door of the ward. He screamed, "Luo Huian! You'd better open the door. I am your elder; you better respect me."
Inside the ward, Luo Huian simply rolled her eyes. She then turned to look at the thugs who had followed Qin Zhengbang to the hospital and said to them, "That man is not a relative of our family. My mother is going to divorce the mer related to that man who owes you. You can bother the Qin family instead of ours."
As she spoke, she turned to look at her mother and questioned her sharply, "You are going to divorce him, right?" She pointed at Qin Qiu as she spoke to her mother.
"Of–of course," Luo Yeqing replied out of her survival instincts. She didn't know why but she had a feeling that if she dared to say something other than 'yes', Luo Huian would skin a layer off her body.
"Darling!" Qin Qiu was startled when he heard Luo Yeqing's response. He had worked so hard these days, all for the sake of melting Luo Yeqing's heart. He had cooked, cleaned and served after her just for the sake of making her say that she was not going to divorce him. Now she was telling him that she was still going to divorce him?
Luo Yeqing turned to look at the mer with a cold look on her face. She said to him, "I have told you that you don't need to look for me anymore. I am not going to take you back, and I am not going to give you the shares that your father keeps asking for."
When Old Master Qin heard Luo Yeqing's response, his eyes widened. He said to her, "You can't do that! My son has given birth to a daughter for you, and now you want to abandon him? How can you do that?"
"At such an age, where will my son go?"
He shook his head and stated stubbornly, "I don't know; you have to give my son the shares of your company. This is something that he deserves."
"And what about the loan that your son has taken from us?" said the thug. With his burly build, he turned around and looked at Old Master Qin and said to him, "You said that your daughter-in-law was really rich and she could take care of this debt in just a matter of time. But now she is saying that she is divorcing your son. Tell me what we should make out of this?"
The thug was running out of patience as well. He came to the hospital with Qin Zhengbang because he thought that his rich sister-in-law would be able to repay the debt, but as soon as he arrived here, the first thing he had to see was Qin Zhengbang crying and sobbing. His ears were hurting because of all the crying, and now that the crying had stopped, it was his heart that was hurting.
He thought that after all that song and dance, he would get his money back. Who would have thought that there was another family drama waiting for him here? Qin Zhengbang was on the verge of getting a divorce! It showed how despicable this Qin family was. Women were allowed to have more than one husbands, which meant that even if the mer did something or if they got bored with them, they would simply leave them alone.
There was no need for divorce.
But Luo Yeqing was divorcing her husband, which showed that the mer had done something really shameful.
When Old Master Qin heard the question of the thug, he choked and turned silent. He completely forgot about these thugs just now. He turned to look at Luo Yeqing and said to her with a flattering smile, "Yeqing, can you please help Zhengbang? The Luo family can easily take this sum out, right?"
"We can, but we won't." Old Madam Luo banged her cane on the floor and stared at the mer with a hint of annoyance in her eyes. "Our money doesn't fall from the sky. We work hard for it. Your son gambled for months and lost so much money; I don't believe that you didn't know anything about it. You just didn't care, as you thought that our family would take care of this debt, didn't you?"
The more Old Madam Luo thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't believe that her daughter had married someone like Qin Qiu. All her life, she worked hard to make sure that the Luo family would never be embarrassed by anyone, but with Luo Yeqing marrying Qin Qiu, everything fell apart.
Now this was good.
Look at the audacity of these people. They even wanted her family to take out more than a hundred million yuan. Where did they think the Luo family got their money from? Did they think that it came from a windfall!?
When Old Master Qin saw the expression on Old Madam Luo's face, his expression turned serious, and his face turned red with a hint of embarrassment. He then turned to look at Luo Qingling and said to her, "Qingling, can you help your uncle? I know that he did something wrong, but he is still your elder, isn't he? Just help him once. I promise that I will keep an eye on him from now on."
Since he couldn't control Old Madam Luo and Luo Yeqing, but he could still control Luo Qingling! After all, that woman was Qin Qiu's daughter; unless she wanted to be called unfilial, she would never refuse to help her uncle.
When Luo Qingling heard the request of her grandfather, she was stunned. After a few seconds, she said in a soft voice, "Grandmother, I want to help uncle as well but my guild cannot take out so much money. We are not that rich yet."
She was speaking the truth as the guild was still in the early years. Though Luo Qingling was willing to hand as much money as possible to Luo Huian, she couldn't do the same for someone like Qin Zhengbang.
"YOU—"
