Chapter 106.1
Editor: Jodi
Liu Xiahui really didn’t want to go out.
He was already a little annoyed because Pei Jing kept coming to see him frequently.
And the reason for her visits—he knew it all too well.
However this time, she not only came by herself, she also brought Yu Xudong along, causing his expression to immediately turned cold.
Li Qingzhou however intercepted Liu Xiahui’s attempt to go out and asked, “Why are they coming to the Old Mansion to look for you?”
Liu Xiahui explained what had happened when Pei Jing went to see him the day before, then said, “Before I came here, the nanny was cleaning the room, so she must have told Pei Jing and Yu Xudong that I’m at the Old Mansion.”
“They’ve come to borrow money. Third Uncle, they probably also came because of you. I’ll go out now and send them away…”
“There’s no need, let them in.” Liu Bohuai told him.
Li Qingzhou’s lips curled into a smile. “Yes, let them in. Both your third uncle and I have something to say to them.”
[Is this considered as them borrowing money from their creditor?]
[Heh, figures. The information of creditors is confidential overseas, so Yu Xudong probably doesn’t even know who he owes money to, ha ha.]
—The little guy in the bubble sat with his legs crossed on the chair, sucking on a lollipop. Then after a while, he pinched the lollipop between his index and middle fingers, licked it, then put it back into his mouth.
Liu Bohuai pinched Li Qingzhou’s fingertip that was resting on his arm.
Li Qingzhou turned his head, his eyes questioning—— “Ah Huai, what’s wrong?”
Liu Bohuai shook his head, twirling the buddhist beads with his thumb.
He was wearing a new set of buddhist beads on his wrist, one that matched the ones that was partially revealed on Li Qingzhou’s hand by his sleeve.
However Li Qingzhou’s beads were slightly darker in color.
Liu Xiahui glanced at them, then looked away, feeling a bit sour.
He didn’t even have a single buddhist bead…..
The old butler went to invite Yu Xudong and Pei Jing in.
Li Xusheng and Xia Yijun stayed in the garden playing, watched by the nanny, while Li Qingzhou, Liu Bohuai, and Liu Xiahui waited in the study.
Soon, the two were brought in by the old butler who knocked on the door.
“Sit.” Liu Bohuai told them.
The old butler closed the door behind him thoughtfully.
Yu Xudong was momentarily stunned by the situation in the room, not understanding why Li Qingzhou was here as well.
However he quickly composed himself then nodded silently to Li Qingzhou, as if he didn’t mind that he had lost a lot of shares to the Li Group a while ago.
He sat on the sofa with Pei Jing, then after Liu Bohuai asked what they wanted, stated the purpose of their visit directly.
And Yu Xudong was probably really desperate, because standing up, he bowed to Liu Xiahui, then said with a guilty expression, “I know Ah Jing’s leaving made your childhood unhappy.”
“If possible, I’d like to make it up to you.”
“So please, on account of the fact that Pei Jing is your biological mother, help the Yu family…..”
Yu Xudong’s display was almost tear-jerking.
Unfortunately, Liu Xiahui remained unmoved.
Li Qingzhou was watching the drama unfold.
While Liu Bohuai was even leaning back in his chair, one hand resting on his leg, his expression indifferent and unconcerned.
It was only after a while, when Pei Jing joined in with her pleas that Liu Bohuai opened his mouth, “How do you intend to compensate?”
Yu Xudong paused for a moment, then said, “What would it take to satisfy Mr. Liu? Or better yet, Xiahui, what do you want me to do?”
He looked at Liu Xiahui.
Liu Xiahui frowned, “Mr. Yu, we’re not familiar enough for you to address me by name.”
Yu Xudong apologized gracefully, showing courtesy.
[Wow, he really knows how to pretend. He actually probably hates my big nephew in his heart secretly, haha.]
——The little guy in the bubble, lying on a large pink pig plushie, cocked his legs cutely as he watched the show.
Liu Xiahui smirked coldly at this point, taunting, “Mr. Yu, you’ll do anything I ask?”
“Of course, I wouldn’t disrespect you.”
Yu Xudong nodded his head at his words.
Liu Xiahui: “Alright then, what if I want you to divorce this woman?”
He glanced at Pei Jing.
Pei Jing’s expression turned from disbelief to determination, then she reached out to grab Yu Xudong’s arm—Yu Xudong would never….
However to her surprise, Yu Xudong dodged her hand.
Then, with a hesitant expression on his face, he frowned as he asked, “Are you serious? If I really divorced Ah Jing…”
“Xudong!” Pei Jing shrieked in shock.
Li Qingzhou pursed his lips silently.
[Hypocrite, clearly a selfish scumbag who’s only after money that can’t see reality clearly. It’s still my Ah Huai who is the best.]
——And with that, the little guy in the bubble, his two hands in front of his chest, blew a kiss at Liu Bohuai.
Liu Bohuai: Really wants to kill me.
“Xudong, what are you saying?!”
Pei Jing pulled Yu Xudong’s arm, her eyes wide with disbelief, “Could it be that you’re really going to divorce me?! Just because of what he said?!”
Yu Xudong held Pei Jing’s hand, turning to her with a reluctant expression, “Ah Jing, this is for the sake of the family…”
“You want to divorce me for the sake of the family?! We can think of other ways!”
Yu Xudong’s eyes flashed with impatience, then suppressing his anger, he told her, “There’s no other way. If we don’t pay the money back soon…..”
The company would really be gone.
