Chapter 198: Chapter 126: Romance May Not Be All About Money, But It Is Absolutely Impossible Without It.

"..." 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 home’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 moment Li Jinshu saw him, her eyes stung, and it felt as if all the grievances she had just endured came bursting forth.

"Xu Yun~ How did you get here?"

Xu Yun gave her a hug and smiled. "I saw your message 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 me know."

When Li Jinshu’s older brother and mother, Gong Meiping, saw Xu Yun, they also remembered 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 Meiping, "Who is this man?"

"A creditor."

Gong Meiping whispered, "He’s the one who almost detained us last time. Li Jinshu owes him 200,000 and hasn’t paid it back." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

’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 arrangements 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, something 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 Meiping. "Your daughter borrowed 200,000 from me. You’re aware of that, right?

Before she came back the day before yesterday, she borrowed another 100,000 from me.

I came 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 time, 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 home turf, surrounded by her own people, Gong Meiping 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 someone were to ask for it back, it should be her, not you."

"Then give me 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 messages to your family and friends. Tell everyone to come 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 home staff about the memorial 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 time 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 memorial 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 Meiping retorted defiantly, "Why can’t we stay here?! What right do you, an outsider, have to meddle 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 something 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 someone to be trifled with.

Accustomed 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 advertisement for a loan pasted on the wall, dialed the number directly, and said he wanted to take out a loan.
