Chapter 241 The reason why Lin Yuyao wouldn't let her repay the money in the first place
Lu Jiangrong went to Lin Yuyao's house to wait for her, but after making a scene, she found out that it wasn't the case.
He got into an argument with Fang Qing as soon as he got back.
“My dad just said that the young man originally came to our house to attend their wedding banquet, but he happened to run into Lin Yuyao’s family who came to break off the engagement. They didn’t even know each other at that time, right?”
Fang Qing had no way to refute it.
Lu Jiangrong gritted her teeth in anger and said, "You said it was because she fell in love with that young man that she resolutely refused to marry our Jiang Ting. Let me ask you, why did the Lin family want to break off the engagement before they even met?"
Faced with Lu Jiangrong's questioning, Fang Qing explained in a low voice, "There was some misunderstanding between them. After so many years of relationship, what misunderstanding could they not resolve? Lin Yuyao still refuses to forgive Jiang Ting. She can't get over that matter in her heart. It's just because she fell in love with someone else after she came here."
"Pah! I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as you. Do you think I don't know anything? If you hadn't come to borrow money before their wedding, would they have been unable to get married? Tell me, why did you have to cause this scene before their wedding?"
"I..." How could she explain?
At that time, she knew perfectly well that Lu Jiangting and Lin Yuyao were going to get married, and she knew that she was powerless to stop them and had no reason to stop them.
But she still wanted to test how she and Chenchen held a place in Lu Jiangting's heart.
Sure enough, he was willing to postpone the banquet for his own sake and Chenchen's.
Once postponed, it can be postponed indefinitely, or it can be canceled directly.
This can save a lot of money.
She didn't have such a grand wedding, partly because she wanted to save money, and partly because she was jealous.
I feel better when I destroy something.
"I was wrong." Fang Qing said meekly, "If I had known that Yu Yao cared so much about lending money, I wouldn't have lent it to her."
Lu Jiangrong chuckled, "But I heard that Yuyao went to look for you, and you still haven't returned the money to her?"
Fang Qing: "She didn't say I had to pay it back. She just told me to write an IOU."
At this point, she suddenly felt something was off.
Yes, why didn't Lin Yuyao make her pay back the money? She just made her write an IOU and had Lu Jiangting sign it as a guarantee.
If she makes a scene and threatens not to marry him until the money is returned, even if Jiang Ting doesn't buy it, his parents will still pressure him to get the money back.
Looking back now, it seems that from the time this incident happened until they completely broke off their engagement, Lin Yuyao never mentioned asking her to repay the money.
She only started asking them to repay the money after their marriage documents had been torn up or returned.
Upon realizing this, Fang Qing exclaimed excitedly, "Lin Yuyao did it on purpose! She doesn't want to get married anymore. The loan is just an excuse. What she cares about isn't the money itself, but rather that she wants to use the loan to annul the engagement. What she cares about is the annulment."
Yes, that must be the case.
Fang Qing was extremely excited; she didn't want to be blamed for ruining their relationship.
Grabbing Lu Jiangting excitedly, she said, "Jiangting, did you and Lin Yuyao have a fight a long time ago? Or is there some other misunderstanding? She didn't want to break off the engagement because of money, absolutely not."
If not because of this, then why?
Lu Jiangting knew it all too well.
He and Lin Yuyao had always been in love before that, and Yuyao was very dependent on him, her heart was full of him, and they had no conflicts at all.
The day before he made up an excuse to ask her for money, she was still holding his arm and talking about the future with him.
"No, Yuyao and I have never had any conflicts."
"Impossible, it's definitely not my problem. There must be something between you two that made her want to break off the engagement. It couldn't be because I borrowed money."
Before she could finish speaking, Fang Qing was slapped across the face by Lu Jiangrong.
"Shut up, you shameless, slutty widow. Before, you blamed Lin Yuyao, saying she was fickle and wanted to break off the engagement because she got involved with a rich man. Now that your lies have been exposed, you're bringing up the fact that Jiang Ting and Lin Yuyao already had conflicts."
"So it's always someone else's fault, and you're the only one who's innocent? Pshaw, do you think I'm stupid? I came here because I thoroughly investigated the whole affair between the three of you beforehand. Before you caused this trouble with the loan, Jiang Ting and Lin Yuyao were together every day, their relationship was great, it was all your shamelessness that caused this mess."
Lu Jiangting was the youngest son in the Lu family. His eldest sister was more than ten years older than him and was now forty years old.
He was at the age when he was strong and powerful.
After the slap, Fang Qing's face quickly swelled up, her mouth was cut, and blood was flowing.
She covered her face, enduring the humiliation, and looked at Lu Jiangting with tears in her eyes and a look of terror on her face.
"Jiang Ting, think about it carefully. If Lin Yuyao really wanted that money, why didn't she ask me to return it to you so you could have a wedding when she came to me? Why did she ask me to write an IOU instead? Think about it carefully, isn't that the case?"
Lu Jiangting thought about it carefully and realized it was indeed a bit strange.
However, he was also quite certain that Yuyao's drastic change in attitude began with the matter of borrowing money.
"It must be because of that loan that Yuyao wants a divorce. Fang Qing, I was wrong about this. Once the loan happened, regardless of whether we can get the money back, Yuyao has decided to break off the engagement with me."
That's probably what she was thinking, which is why she wasn't in a hurry to get the money back, but instead tried every possible way to annul the engagement. "Don't overthink it. Yuyao and I have never argued before."
Since he's already said that, what else can she say?
Fang Qing covered her face and said, "So you're blaming me?"
Lu Jiangting shook his head. "I don't blame you. After all, it was my decision to lend you the money. Now that things have come to this, I don't blame anyone. If anyone is to blame, it's that Yuyao and I were not meant to be."
He said this, but in his heart he already harbored resentment towards Fang Qing.
However, he also felt that Wang Jianjun's death meant he was responsible for Fang Qing and Wang Chenchen's situation.
He was a man, and he didn't blame Fang Qing for the mistakes his decision made.
But his sister and father didn't think so.
Lu Cong saw that Fang Qing was not friendly at all. He snorted coldly, spat out a mouthful of phlegm, and then stomped on it to spread it evenly.
Fang Qing frowned as she watched.
She had just cleaned the floor this morning.
Lu Jiangrong gave her an even more unfriendly look.
Lu Jiangting, her youngest brother, was more than ten years younger than her, only a few years older than her eldest son.
Therefore, the way she looked at Fang Qing was exactly the way a mother-in-law looked at her daughter-in-law.
She was extremely dissatisfied with this 'daughter-in-law'.
“Since Lin Yuyao already has a boyfriend, we can’t force her. Let’s just leave her and Jiang Ting’s relationship alone. But…” She paused, then looked at Lu Jiangting and said, “Jiangting, even if you and Lin Yuyao can’t be together, you can’t marry a widow. With your qualifications, you could just grab anyone and they’d be better than that widow Fang.”
