Qin Guangjin has been very depressed lately.

?

Qin Shou's treatment cost a huge amount of money, including the best ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, which cost hundreds or thousands of taels. When Qin Wan saw him, she was worried that the money was flowing like water and was gone again just after she got it.

?

Qin Guangjin was reluctant to treat his son unfairly, so he found various excuses to ask Xie Xiangyu for money to support him, which was already very difficult.

?

Lu Zeming asked for money every now and then, and the amount was larger each time.

?

If he hesitated for a moment, she would threaten him with the affair between him and Qin Wan in a sarcastic tone. Qin Guangjin didn't dare to refuse, so he could only grit his teeth and agree, and then think of a way to ask Xie Xiangyu for it.

?

Xie Xiangyu was not a fool. Since she asked for the money many times, she started to ask in detail what the money was for.

?

Qin Guangjin didn't dare to be too presumptuous and could only secretly take out his antiques, calligraphy and paintings to sell.

?

but!

?

Lu Zeming is like a bottomless pit that cannot be filled even with mountains of gold and silver!

?

That day, he asked someone to give Qin Guangjin a message again, asking him to meet in the Tianzi private room of Huichun Teahouse.

?

Qin Guangjin's scalp tingled when he received the message. He didn't want to go, but he was worried that Lu Zeming would become desperate and really complain about him to Xie Xiangyu.

?

All his efforts of more than 20 years and the painstaking efforts of separation from his family were wasted. He had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Huichun Teahouse to keep the appointment.

?

As soon as Qin Guangjin entered the private room, he saw Lu Zeming sitting cross-legged on a low couch made of nanmu wood, holding a purple clay teapot and listening to a little song. He was so angry that his heart ached, and he drove the father and daughter out in a bad mood.

?

Lu Zeming sat up lazily and glanced at Qin Guangjin. "I'm just drinking your cup of tea. Is it necessary to be so harsh?"

?

"The entire Xie family belongs to you, so why do you care about this little money?"

?

What Qin Guangjin cared about was not the money for the tea, but Lu Zeming's attitude of treating him as a sucker.

?

He stared at Lu Zeming with a gloomy face, "Why did you ask me to come here? Didn't I just give you a thousand taels the day before yesterday? I advise you not to be too greedy. If you push me into a corner, I can do anything."

?

Lu Zeming's eyes rolled around, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face. He stood up, let Qin Guangjin sit upstairs, and sat down next to him.

?

"Brother Qin won't be angry if my brother makes a joke?"

?

"Alas, it's not that I'm ungrateful, I just have some difficulties that I can't tell others."

?

Qin Guangjin did not want to break up with Lu Zeming completely. After all, he was now Qin Wan's nominal husband and Qin Shou's stepfather.

?

Where can you find a more suitable shield when you fall out?

?

His expression softened a bit, "We have been brothers for so many years. If I didn't treat you like a sibling, I wouldn't have entrusted you with the two most important people in the world to me."

?

"But now I am trapped in the Xie family. Although I look so glorious from the outside, I am actually helpless everywhere. Not to mention others, even the little girl born to me and that old woman dares to disrespect me."

?

"Alas, please be more understanding, brother. When I become successful in the future, I will never forget my brother's friendship. I will share my wealth and glory with you."

?

Qin Guangjin's words were sincere and sincere, and people who didn't know him might have been fooled into believing him. However, Lu Zeming knew his character very well, so he naturally wouldn't believe his empty promises.

?

But he didn't say it out loud, and just kept thanking her with a smile.

?

Qin Guangjin thought that he had successfully fooled Lu Zeming and no longer had to worry about his every now and then blackmailing him, but he didn't expect Lu Zeming to suddenly change his tone.

?

"Brother Qin, I am a man after all. I feel bad for not speaking to you without any shame."

?

"Recently, I found a good business. If I succeed, I can get ten times the interest. I don't have to bother asking Brother Qin for money anymore. It's just that..."

?

The word "but" made Qin Guangjin's heart tighten.

?

Just as Lu Zeming understood him, he also understood Lu Zeming. With all these preparations, the amount must not be a small amount. He was probably asking for too much and wanted to take a big piece of meat from him!

?

Qin Guangjin held on to a glimmer of hope that Lu Zeming would not go too far, and asked cautiously, "How much capital is required?"

?

"Ah..." Lu Zeming sighed softly with a sad face.

?

The expression and tone gave Qin Guangjin an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if it was almost exactly the same as when Qin Wan asked him for money every time...

?

Qin Guangjin shook his head to drive the thought out of his mind.

?

Qin Wan was his childhood sweetheart and his white moonlight. How could she possibly cheat him out of his money like Lu Zeming did?

?

Bah, bah, bah. He actually compared Qin Wan with Lu Zeming. He must have been so angry with Lu Zeming that he was confused.

?

"Just tell me how much silver you need. As long as I can do it, I will do everything I can to get it for you."

?

"After all, you helped me protect my daughter and son, so I'll consider it as repaying you for this favor. However, we'll keep our distance from each other from now on. Even if you report me to that old woman from the Xie family, I won't give you a penny."

?

Lu Zeming was delighted and promised that he would never ask Qin Guangjin for money again.

?

"If the business is done, I can live comfortably. How dare I bother Brother Qin again?"

?

Qin Guangjin didn't want to continue listening to Lu Zeming's nonsense, so he interrupted his flowery words and said, "Just tell me a number."

?

"Twenty thousand taels." Lu Zeming was not vague and directly reported an astronomical figure.

?

Qin Guangjin's heart skipped a beat and his head was buzzing.

?

Twenty thousand taels!

?

He endured humiliation and humbled himself in front of Xie Xiangyu for so many years, but the silver he got was only this much!

?

Why does Lu Zeming think that he can easily empty his family's wealth just by lip service?

?

"Mr. Lu, don't go too far!" Qin Guangjin was furious and looked at Lu Zeming fiercely. "Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have my little braid in your hand. Do you believe that I can make you disappear from the world with a hundred taels of silver?"

?

Lu Zeming is a desperado to begin with, how could he be scared away by a few threats?

?

He curled his lips with disdain and said in a long voice: "Compared with the Xie family's millions of taels, what is 20,000 taels? Brother, I kindly advise Brother Qin not to lose the big picture for the small one."

?

Bringing up the Xie family again! Is this ever going to end!

?

Qin Guangjin's old face turned the color of liver, and his eyes were almost bleeding. In the end, he suppressed his anger and closed his eyes.

"Okay, I'll give you these twenty thousand taels, and later..."

?

"Brother Qin, don't worry. This is definitely the last time." As long as there is money to be taken, Lu Zeming's expression changes faster than turning a page of a book. "It's getting late. I won't delay Brother Qin. I'll leave first. Brother Qin, please send the 20,000 taels as soon as possible. Don't delay my business. Otherwise, the business won't be done and I'll have to bother you again in the future."

?

After saying that, he walked away with a swagger.

?

Qin Guangjin was left alone standing in the private room, still furious. It took him a while to calm down and get on the carriage back to Xie's house.

?

After Qin Guangjin left, the door of the private room next door opened, and Xie Liuzheng, dressed in men's clothes, walked out supporting Xie Xiangyu.
