Chapter 1071: Chapter 1070: The Ultimate Shamelessness

After breakfast, Kong Xiangrui took Lu Yiting back next door to the Kong Family’s home. After all, it was her uncle’s visit. It wouldn’t be nice for them to be absent. Luo Qiao packed some candied fruits and nuts for Lu Yiting to snack on.

Lu Xinyi and Gu Kairong were accompanying the old master in a chess game, while Luo Qiao prepared a pot of tea for them.

Gu Qianru called her two nieces by marriage and sister-in-law Wang Danli to play cards, while Stone and Taifeng took the kids to play puzzles in the lounge.

Lu Yichen and Lu Yixuan turned into waiters, pouring tea, serving water, and delivering fruit, bustling around joyfully.

Next door at the Kong Family’s, the atmosphere had already frozen solid, and each person present dared not say a word, as the Fu Family had come specifically to confront someone today.

Fu Lanhua’s Nephew had broken up with his girlfriend because he didn’t have a house, and due to this, he had been throwing tantrums at home, to the point that they hadn’t even enjoyed their reunion dinner last night.

This morning, Fu Lanhua’s Big Brother brought his son over early, intending to ask his sister to help scrape together some money to buy an apartment.

Fu Lanhua simply didn’t have that much money on hand, but seeing her big nephew so downhearted, she really felt sorry for him, and thus, she wanted all three of her sons to chip in.

The moment this was suggested, the room fell dead silent, and everyone’s expressions changed. They all knew what their uncle was like—if they lent this money, they might as well consider it a gift, as there was no chance it would ever be repaid.

So, just like students who don’t know the answer when the teacher asks a question, they all lowered their heads in silence, the atmosphere becoming incredibly awkward.

Kong Cunlai, seeing his children’s expressions, said, "Big Brother, buying a house isn’t a trifling matter. It’s not the same as coming over to ask Lanhua for a couple of bucks one day, and three the next. To buy even a modest apartment would cost several thousand at least. I just want to know, how much money do you have on hand right now?"

Fu Lanhua’s Big Brother, Fu Sanqiang, turned to his brother-in-law, "If we had money, would we come to you?"

Kong Cunlai chuckled, "So, what you mean is, you don’t have even a penny on hand and want us to foot the entire bill?"

Sanqiang, touching his nose with a sheepish smile, replied, "It’s not quite like that. I was thinking of trying to collect some from your second sister-in-law Qiaoni."

Kong Cunlai was no longer interested in saving face for this uncle, "Then you collect sum first and see how much you’re short. If it’s not much, I’ll think of a way to help out. But if the gap is too wide, there’s nothing I can do."

Fu Sanqiang became anxious, "Brother-in-law, you can’t just stand by. Yaohui can’t afford to delay his marriage any longer, this issue of the house has become an obsession for me."

Fu Yaohui also spoke up, "Uncle, I’m already twenty-four years old. It only gets harder to find a match as time goes on. But with a house, it’s different. If it wasn’t for my third cousin-in-law’s refusal to lend her house last year, I wouldn’t be rushing this marriage."

At those words, Kong Xiangrui couldn’t hold back, "Yaohui, what are you talking about? Are you saying my wife is to blame for your delayed marriage? How dare you say such things. Why don’t you ask your girlfriend’s family to throw in a house? If you talk nonsense again, don’t blame me for being rude."

Yaohui, now also irritated, appealed to his aunt, who always doted on him, "Auntie, are you just going to let my third cousin boss me around like this?"

Fu Lanhua was about to speak when Kong Xiangrui coldly interjected, "Mom, you better think twice. In the future, are you relying on your sons or your nephews? Watch what you say or it might hurt feelings."

Kong Xiangrui’s face was stern when he said this, he had never been seen with such a cold countenance, and even Fu Lanhua was frightened by her third son’s expression; the reproach she meant to utter got stuck in her throat.

Fu Sanqiang frowned, "Xiangrui, your cousin didn’t say anything wrong, why are you taking it so seriously?"

Kong Xiangrui laughed coldly, "Not take it seriously? Should I just let my cousin continue to say shameless things? That house belongs to my wife from her parents, not given by the Kong Family, and certainly not for the Fu Family to decide upon. Want me to call the neighbors to come and judge?"

Lu Yiting didn’t want Kong Xiangrui to continue this fruitless debate. She didn’t wish to lend the house, and nobody could force her. As for what her so-called cousin had just said, it was simply idiotic.

So, she stood up, "Xiangrui, I’m feeling a bit unwell. I want to go rest in my room."
