Go through it quickly, the host will torture and kill you indiscriminately

Li Cuifang was secretly delighted: "Humph, Lin Qi still dares to sue us? Let's see what kind of waves she can stir up."

However, when Ran Qi really took them to court, Li Cuifang still didn't care and was convinced that she was right.

Even in court, Lin Wu confidently declared: "This money was given to me by my sister voluntarily. Although I took it, we are a family, so this is natural."

Li Cuifang also continued with her usual attitude and responded arrogantly: "Lin Qi is my daughter, why can't I ask her for some money? Isn't this a matter of course?"

Facing such an arrogant defendant, Ran Qi's lawyer was simply delighted. After all, it was rare for a defendant to confess the facts without further questioning, so this case would be much easier to handle.

Seeing this result, the lawyer was secretly delighted, after all, it was too easy to earn the lawyer's fee. Li Cuifang and Lin Wu were confident that there would be no problems.

Therefore, they did not even hire a lawyer, and naturally lost the case easily. The court ruled that they must return the full amount of 8 million yuan to Ran Qi, not a cent less.

This verdict completely stunned Li Cuifang. How could she possibly come up with such a large sum of money? Lin Wu, who had always obeyed his mother, turned his face away and asked anxiously, "Mom, what do you think we should do now? We don't have that much money!"

He was completely at a loss as to how to deal with this sudden predicament.

Li Cuifang is still cursing: "Damn money-losing stuff, what can I do if I don't give it to her?"

Lin Wu glared and said angrily, "If you don't give it to me, you will go to jail. Do you want to watch me go to jail?"

Lin Wu's voice was full of anger and helplessness, and his eyes flashed with despair and helplessness. Facing his mother's unreasonable behavior, he felt exhausted, but he could not change the status quo.

Li Cuifang seemed to be frightened by her son's roar. She stopped and looked at him in horror, stammering, "I... I don't have that much money."

Lin Wu stared at her, his eyes full of anger, and gritted his teeth and said, "Then what are you going to do? Do you really want me to go to jail?"

Li Cuifang lowered her head in fear and muttered, "I don't know what to do."

Lin Wu was so angry that he was shaking all over. He pointed at his mother's nose and shouted, "It's all because of you. I told you not to do anything too extreme, but what about you? You didn't listen. Now you feel better, don't you?"

Li Cuifang shrank her neck guiltily and muttered quietly: "How should I know it would be like this?"

Lin Wu stared at her, his eyes full of anger, and gritted his teeth and said, "Why did you sign an agreement to sever ties? Now you can't spend her money anymore!"

Li Cuifang lowered her head, a look of regret on her face, and murmured to herself: "If I had known it would be like this, I should not have signed the agreement at that time."

Lin Wu stared at her, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, and said coldly: "What's the use of regretting now? You must find a way to solve this problem, otherwise we will all be in trouble."

Li Cuifang's face turned pale, and she said with trembling lips: "I...I don't know what to do."

Lin Wu frowned, looking annoyed, and said in a low voice: "What should I do? Either find a way to pay back the money, or try to please Ran Qi."

Hearing this, Li Cuifang showed a hint of hesitation and dissatisfaction on her face. To please Ran Qi was obviously something she was reluctant to do.

In the past, it was always Ran Qi who tried to please her. As long as she showed a good look, Ran Qi would be overjoyed and eager to please her. But now, she was asked to be humble and say nice things to Ran Qi. This was simply a fantasy.

Seeing that his mother was still hesitant, Lin Wu suddenly became annoyed and his tone became tough: "Mom, if you really don't want to do this, then we can only choose to pay back the money!"

He stared at Li Cuifang firmly, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes. He continued, "Or do you want me to go to jail? You have to think carefully. I am the only son of our Lin family. If I go to jail, who will take care of you in your old age?"

Lin Wu's words were full of pressure and threats, which made Li Cuifang fall into deep thought. She knew that her son was right, their family's financial situation was not good, and they had no ability to repay this huge debt.

If you don't want Lin Wu to go to jail, then it seems that the only way out is to please Ran Qi.

Li Cuifang gritted her teeth and finally compromised. Although she was very reluctant, she understood the current situation and had to put aside her pride and try to please Ran Qi, who she once despised.

After all, freedom is the most important thing for a person. If you lose freedom, everything else will become meaningless. And face is just a manifestation of vanity, which cannot bring people real happiness and satisfaction. Therefore, compared with losing freedom, face is not worth mentioning at all.

Li Cuifang felt helpless when she heard this. She knew she had no other choice and could only compromise: "Okay, let's go talk to Ran Qi tomorrow."

However, Lin Wu did not plan to wait until tomorrow. She said anxiously, "Mom, why are we waiting for tomorrow? We have to go now. It will be too late if we are late! If we let Ran Qi leave, we will never find her again!"

Li Cuifang also thought it made sense. After all, they still didn't know where Ran Qi's new residence was. If they let Ran Qi go now, they would really be unable to find him. So she nodded in agreement.

Just like that, the two of them hurried out, hoping to find Ran Qi as soon as possible and solve the problem at hand.

Li Cuifang and Lin Wu stood at the door waiting anxiously, hoping that Ran Qi could come out as soon as possible. Finally, the door opened and Ran Qi came out. Seeing Ran Qi, Li Cuifang and Lin Wu immediately went to greet him with a flattering smile on their faces.

"Qiqi, mom was wrong before. Mom knows I was wrong. Please forgive me this time." Li Cuifang looked at Ran Qi cautiously, her tone full of pleading.

Lin Wu also quickly agreed: "Yes, sister, we are a family. Those things in the past were all misunderstandings. Now that the misunderstandings have been resolved, everything will be fine." He tried to persuade Ran Qi to let go of the unpleasantness of the past.

"Besides, there are always quarrels among family members. After the quarrel, they will still make up as before." Lin Wu continued to persuade, hoping to get Ran Qi's understanding.

Ran Qi nodded. Her expression looked calm, but her eyes revealed a hint of determination. In Lin Wu's delighted eyes, she slowly said, "You just need to pay me back the money you owe me." Her voice was not loud, but every word was clear and firm.

Hearing this, Lin Wu suddenly felt embarrassed and angry. He didn't expect Ran Qi to be so stubborn and insisted on asking for the money back. In desperation, he could only pull the corner of Li Cuifang's clothes and signal her to speak.

"Qiqi, don't be like this. Mom feels very sad." A trace of sadness flashed across Li Cuifang's eyes and tears welled up in her eyes.

"I am your mother. I gave birth to you and raised you with great difficulty. How can you be so heartless? Do you really want to break off relations with your mother? If you really do this, I can't live anymore!" Li Cuifang became emotional and she cried out her grievances in a trembling voice.
