Chapter 262 Pay Back the Money
In the end, the old master seemed to have no idea what she was thinking and insisted that she pay back the money now! How could I have so much money when I’ve just returned?! Is Old Master doing this on purpose?
But why?
Tang Wenyi could not understand. Seeing her standing rooted to the ground, the old master looked up and said, “Why aren’t you making a move? Didn’t you say that you wanted to pay it back yourself? Why don’t you give the money to her! Are you bragging in front of me? No. 3, didn’t I give you an allowance before you got married? It was exactly 5 million yuan. Where’s the money?”
“This… This…”
Of course, the money was gone! When the Lu family was on the verge of bankruptcy, she really could not stand the feeling of falling from heaven to hell. So in order to maintain her dignity, she had no choice but to take out that sum of money and spend it to her heart’s content. Not a single cent was left! At that time, how could she have known that Old Master still remembered this money?!
Tang Wenyi looked at the old master and looked around guiltily. She could not possibly say that she had spent all of it, right? She was sure that if she said that, she would definitely be punished by the old master’s family law. At the thought of this, her body could not help but tremble. She had just recovered from his beating not long ago, and she did not want to add new injuries!
But… What excuse should she find?
The old master narrowed his eyes and snorted. Just as he was about to ask No. 3 to settle it herself, Tang Yajing walked down from the second floor. Her fair skin was covered in layers of bandage, and a hint of alcohol wafted in. She chuckled as she walked in. “Did Third Sister lend her money to Lu Yaohua to develop his career? Or did she use it to maintain her lifestyle?”
It was obvious that the latter did not make sense. After all, during the Lu family’s bankruptcy, Old Master had gotten someone to transfer the money to Tang Wenyi’s account in a timely manner. Hence, there was only one plausible reason left! Tang Wenyi couldn’t help feeling pleased. No. 5 is still trying to set a trap for me? She’s too inexperienced! But because of this, she provided a better excuse for me!
“I’ve given Lu Yaohua the 5 million yuan. He told me that he found a stable business deal and then he lost everything. Even if I want him to pay up, he doesn’t have the money to pay me, so I don’t have the money to pay this Supervisor Jin back. Why don’t you give me some time?”
Unbeknownst to her, she was as comical as a clown in Old Master’s eyes. Does she think that she can fool everyone just by finding a good excuse? No one is so stupid! If Tang Wenyi had told the truth, he might have thought better of her. But now, he began to wonder if she was hopeless.
She needed time to raise a mere 5 million yuan. The Tang family was humiliated!

He hid his thoughts and sat on a chair, rubbing the Bodhi seeds in his hand carefully. There was silence. Supervisor Jin did not dare to read from the script that she had originally planned. She was just here to ask for money. How did she get involved in the war of a big family for no reason?
She wanted to cry but had no tears to shed as she bit her handkerchief and thought to herself, Hurry up and pay the money! After getting 5 million yuan, I guarantee that I’ll leave the capital without looking back! Don’t use any random excuse to stall time. I just want to get away from this troublesome place as soon as possible! God bless me. If I succeed in collecting the debt this time, I’ll definitely live a pious life for half a year!
As if the heavens had heard her wish, Tang Yajing, who was not far away, said, “Since Third Sister can’t fork out this bit of money, I’ll pay for her first. Actually, 5 million yuan is just a month’s living expenses to me. The money I earn every year is more than this, but… I didn’t expect Third Sister to be so poor.”
With that, she transferred the money to Supervisor Jin’s card on the spot.
When Supervisor Jin saw the money, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. Then she thanked them and left.
In the past, Tang Wenyi would definitely have slapped Tang Yajing’s face by paying up first. Unfortunately, she really did not have any money left, so she could only glare at the other party. Before she could say anything, the old master said calmly, “No. 5 helped you resolve this predicament. Not only did you not thank her, but you even put on such an expression? Those who don’t know might even think that No. 5 is the one who owes money!
Why? You can’t accept it?”
He paused for a moment before continuing, “Since you’re unwilling to accept it, then you should pay back the money yourself if you have the ability! As the eldest sister, you’ve really made a good start! If the other sisters are like you, then my Tang family will be ruined sooner or later! Since you’re indebted to No. 5, you should thank her! My Tang family can’t have produced such a rude child!
Other than having a bad brain and poor judgment, I don’t want outsiders to add that you’re uneducated!”
Tang Wenyi’s face instantly turned pale. She clenched her fists, but she could not bring herself to say ‘thank you.’ If she had to bow down to her fifth sister, she might as well be killed! Moreover, if the other party kept mentioning this matter to suppress her in the future, wouldn’t she be too ashamed to face anyone in her lifetime?
But if she did not do that, the old master would not let her off easily. Should I say it or not? she deliberated.
She glanced around. There were only a few people around, and their mouths were quite tight. Should I lower my head and escape while the other sisters are not around?
