Near noon, Lu Chen walked out of Binhai High-Speed Railway Station.

The glare of the sun on his face made his eyes narrow and his mood soar.

Thanks to the modern high-speed railway system, Lu Chen returned from the Capital to his hometown, a small town on the coast of Eastern Zhejiang Province, in just five hours.

Binhai City is a county-level city with a population of more than a million. The regional administration belongs to Hangzhou-Wenzhou area, which is more than 200 kilometers away from the provincial capital Hangzhou. Lu Chen was born and grew up here until he was admitted to Jianghai University.

Originally, he wanted to go back home on the 1st, because he had to go back to Jianghai University to attend the graduation ceremony on the 9th. But he was delayed in the capital for a few more days because he had to prepare a new song for Sister Na and the Wandering Band.

Several songs of the Wandering Band have entered the formal production stage. Lu Chen, as a songwriter, took the opportunity to participate in the process of arrangement and production, and put forward many suggestions of his own.

Arrangement is Lu Chen’s biggest weakness, so such an opportunity, where he can learn a lot, is very rare for him. And if the new song is successful, it will be a good start for him to enter the mainstream circle of pop music.

On the other hand, Lu Chen will also release his own album. It is good to know the production process in advance, not to mention that he has a good personal friendship with Sister Na and Qin Hanyang.

After going out of the railway station, he took a taxi to the city’s Dongping District.

Dongping District is one of the earliest districts in Binhai City. It is also the location of the staff dormitories of the Municipal Finance Bureau, the State Tax Bureau and the Local Tax Bureau. Lu Chen’s mother, Fang Yun and his sister, Lu Xue, live there.

Fang Yun is an accountant in the State Tax Bureau of Binhai city. After the Lu family accident, their original house and car were sold. She moved to the staff dormitory of Dongping District to save money.

After getting off at the entrance of the community, Lu Chen didn’t go home immediately, but ran to the bank not far from the community.

At the VIP client window in the sales department, he took out his bank card and ID card and put them in.

“Hello, I want to withdraw money. I made an appointment yesterday.”

Five minutes later, Lu Chen left the bank with a heavy backpack and returned to Dongping District.

Fang Yun’s dormitory is in Room 201 of Building 7.

Although Lu Chen lived here for a short time, the small home also brought him a lot of warm memories. As he watched the distance from his home getting closer and closer, his steps became more and more light.

However, when Lu Chen walked to the front of Building 7, he suddenly noticed that the car parked next to the green belt looked very familiar. When he looked at the license plate number carefully, he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart!

Frowning, Lu Chen quickened his pace and rushed up the stairs and soon arrived at the door of Room 201.

The door was unlatched, so the sounds in the living room came clearly to his ears.

“There’s nothing we can do about it. We’ve been in debt for so long…”

“If it weren’t for my Wenkang family wanting to buy a house, there was really nothing I could do about it. Otherwise we wouldn’t have come here.”

“Everyone is a relative. You can’t let us… “

After listening to a few words, Lu Chen could not listen any more. He pushed open the door with great force.

‘Bang!’

The security door slammed against the wall with a loud noise.

This dormitory is composed of one room and one hall. The room is already very old. The living room, bedroom, kitchen and bathroom combined area does not exceed 30 square meters. The small living room can only barely accommodate a sofa and a small desk, so it seems very crude and cramped.

When Lu Chen burst in, his mother, Fang Yun was standing in front of the desk with an expressionless face, and a rich-looking middle-aged woman was screaming and pointing at her.

On the sofa sat a simple dull-looking middle-aged man, smoking with a stuffy head.

To his right is a young man in his twenties. He was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, with a messy haircut, a shining silver earring hanging from his left ear, and a rebellious look on his face. The loud sound that the door made everyone look at Lu Chen.

“Little Chen?”

Fang Yun was pleasantly surprised, so she hurried over and said, “When did you come back?”

Lu Chen smiled and said, “Mom, I just came back.”

He turned his face, and his expression became extremely cold, “Uncle, Aunt, why are you all here?”

The middle-aged man sitting on the sofa was Lu Chen’s uncle, Fang Yuanzhong. The one who was screaming at Fang Yun just now was his Aunt Lin Ru, and the young man with earrings was Lu Chen’s cousin Fang Wenkang!

“Little… Little Chen is back!”

Fang Yuanzhong stood up somewhat bewildered and said, “It’s good that you’re back.”

Lin Ru was stunned at, then said disdainfully: “What good? If you have the ability to make money, bring it back and pay off the debt you owe to our family first!”

Fang Wenkang sat on the armrest of the sofa and looked at Lu Chen with sarcastic eyes.

Fang Yun’s face was filled with anger. She was about to speak when she was stopped by Lu Chen.

Lu Chen asked lightly: “Aunt, I do not understand what you’re saying. When did our family owe you money?”

Lin Ru seems to have heard some fantastic stories; her face twisted, “What did you say? Your Lu Family don’t owe us any money? It’s all written on black and white!”

She took out a few sheets of paper and shook it hard at Lu Chen, “Do you still want to deny your debt?”

Lu Chen suppressed his anger and asked, “If I remember it correctly, this is a shareholder agreement, right?”

When the Lu family business was flourishing, Lin Ru looked jealous and encouraged Fang Yuanzhong to ask Fang Yun to buy some shares in the factory. in addition to earning dividends, she also wanted her son Fang Wenkang to work in the factory.

At the beginning, the new factory was still making money, and the dividends were also given to Fang’s family. However, after the outbreak of the international financial crisis, Lu Qingsheng’s business was hit hard. The bank’s loan recovery eventually led to the breakdown of the capital chain, resulting in the bankruptcy of the enterprise.

Although Lu Qingsheng died, what he left behind for his family was an astonishing debt. In addition to bank loans offset by fixed assets, he owed millions to their relatives and friends.

These debtors have all been resistant, and it is natural that they should pay back their debts. There is nothing to say.

However, Fang family signed a shareholder’s agreement. The dividends previously taken have exceeded the share capital. So, there is no reason to ask Fang Yun to return the shares after the closure of the factory.

Lu Chen knew that his mother had paid Lin Ru some money, so the relationship between the Lu family and Fang family became very cold. Unexpectedly, their family came to their home today to press Fang Yun for debt.

They are really the worst!

How can Lu Chen not be angry, “If you want money, then go to the court to sue, now get out of here!”

It is impossible for the court to support such “debt”.

How can Lin Ru not know about this?

She was stunned by Lu Chen’s harsh words, and the fat on her face tremble. She suddenly grabbed Fang Yuanzhong and shouted, “Surnamed Fang, say something. Are you just going to watch your nephew bully your wife?!”

Fang Yuanzhong frowned and allowed Lin Ru to hit him. He looked helplessly at Fang Yun, “Little Yun.”

“How dare you talk to my mother like that?”

Fang Wenkang jumped up and rushed to Lu Chen angrily, “Your mother, you’re asking for it!”

Inside the living room, chickens flew and dogs jumped1 and chaos broke out!

Lu Chen saw Fang Wenkang reach out to grab his chest. He dropped his backpack without dodging. At the moment when the hands of the other party were about to touch him, he suddenly caught his left hand and held it in check.

‘Pa!’

The next moment, a heavy slap hit Fang Wenkang’s face!

Fang Wenkang was caught off guard and was stunned. Lin Ru also stopped crying and was startled.

Lu Chen’s face was frosty. He pushed Fang Wenkang out with his left hand and said in a deep voice, “Fang Wenkang, if you want to die, you can say it clearly and I will help you!”

This kid used to be like a dog in front of him, but now turned his face and dared to insult his mother.

Fang Wenkang was almost pushed to the ground. He covered his red and swollen face and woke up a moment later.

Then he let out a pig-like howl, “Mom, Lu Chen wants to kill me!”

Lin Ru was so angry that her nose became crooked and screamed, “Surenamed Fang…”

She didn’t know why, but Lu Chen’s cold look made her feel a little fear subconsciously. So, she wanted to instruct Fang Yuanzhong to come out and teach Lu Chen because she did not dare to do so.

“Enough!”

Fang Yun shouted.

She was disheartened and said to the other party, “Brother, I will call you brother for the last time. I’ll find a way to pay you back the money later. You can go now.”

There is nothing more sad than the death of his heart2. Fang Yuanzhong dared not look at Fang Yun’s eyes. His lips moved but he could not speak.

“There’s no need for it to be later!”

Lu Chen picked up the backpack on the ground and snapped open the zipper, “We’ll return it now!”
