Chapter 35 I'm Going to Collect the Debt

Lin Ruoxi bit her lower lip. It was obvious that the whole family did not wait for them to eat together. They had already started eating before they arrived. But now they were blaming them for being late.

"We went to buy some gifts, so we were late." Li Xu tried to smooth things over with a smile.

"Tsk, what kind of gift can a delivery man buy? It's all Ruoxi's money, isn't it?" Lin Ruoxi's sister-in-law Xu Xia said disdainfully.

"That's right. My Lin family is unlucky. A child who looks very smart actually ends up being a loser!" Sister-in-law Shang Qiuyun chimed in.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, this is my own business, it's none of your business to gossip about it!" Lin Ruoxi didn't have such a good temper and she directly retorted.

"Ruoxi, how do you talk to your sister-in-law?!" Lin Ruoxi's elder brother Lin Zhiyi slammed the table and said.

"Okay! Sit down and eat. The noise is giving me a headache!" Lin Ruoxi's mother Zhao Manyu said with a frown.

After the mother spoke, everyone stopped talking.

Lin Ruoxi and Li Xu walked to the dining table, but found that there was only one empty chair.

Of course, it was impossible for him and Lin Ruoxi to sit on only one chair. The Lin family obviously intended to give Li Xu a warning.

Li Xu looked around and found no empty chairs.

"Why, there are no seats?" The eldest sister-in-law said with a smile, "You are a delivery man, why don't you order some takeout and eat it while squatting at the door."

"Haha ... " The second sister-in-law laughed and said, "You think you can sit at the Lin family's dining table to eat? Why don't you look in the mirror and see if you are worthy of it!"

Li Xu frowned. It was obvious that this family was against him and they totally refused to acknowledge that he was the son-in-law of the Lin family.

"What do you mean?" Lin Ruoxi immediately turned her face and said, "It's better not to eat this meal!"

"You can skip the meal and ignore Jinxiu Company?!" Lin Ruoxi's father Lin Zhenghao said coldly.

Lin Ruoxi fell silent. She came here today to seek help from her family. If anything went wrong with Helen's cargo on the Suez Canal, it would be a matter of life and death for Jinxiu Company.

"The grounding of the freighter was an accident. Now we only need 100 million in rescue funds to deliver the goods on schedule. The situation is urgent, so I would like to ask my parents for help." Lin Ruoxi said.

"If you don't have the ability, hand over the company earlier. If Jinxiu Company was handed over to me for management, this kind of thing would never happen." said the eldest brother Lin Zhiyi.

"That's right. My Lin family's money didn't come from the wind. Asking for 100 million right away is a joke." The second brother Lin Jinglong also said coldly.

Lin Ruoxi understood that her elder and second brothers did not want to help at all. They wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to embezzle Jinxiu Company.

"My grandfather personally transferred the shares of Jinxiu Company to me. As long as I am still alive, I will never let it collapse!" Lin Ruoxi said coldly.

Zhao Manyu glanced at her daughter and said , " Since you are so determined, there is a way to solve it. Hongtu Chamber of Commerce owes our Lin family 180 million. If you have the ability to get this money back, I will give it to you."

"Haha, yes, if you have the ability, go and get the money you owe back, don't ask your family for help." The sister-in-law said with a sneer.

Lin Ruoxi frowned and said , " Why does Hongtu Chamber of Commerce owe our Lin family this 180 million and not pay it back? Don't you have any idea, brother and sister-in-law?"

"What do you mean! Others owe us money and they blame us for it?!" The eldest brother slammed the table again.

Lin Ruoxi was filled with anger. The 180 million was the project payment. The Hongtu Chamber of Commerce, which was at its peak at the time, was building the Hongtu Building, a landmark building in Tianhu City.

As the winning company, the Lin family was responsible for providing steel. However, the eldest brother Lin Zhiyi enriched himself and used some inferior steel that did not meet the standards to fool people.

As a result of a major engineering accident, the Hongtu Chamber of Commerce had no choice but to dismantle the project and purchase new steel, resulting in a debt of 180 million yuan, which it refused to pay.

If it was an ordinary company, it could be resolved through negotiation, but Hongtu Chamber of Commerce is the largest underground force in Tianhu City.

Mr. Wei Sanye, the president of Hongtu Chamber of Commerce, is the underground king of the entire Tianhu City. Although he has retired from the underworld, his disciples are spread all over the world and no one dares to offend him.

It was originally a mistake made by the Lin family, and this account has become a bad debt!

Even if the mayor came forward, it would be impossible to get money from Mr. Wei Sanye of Hongtu Chamber of Commerce.

Asking Lin Ruoxi to ask for the money now is simply a pipe dream!

Lin Ruoxi was so angry that her face turned pale. She was about to lose her temper, but unexpectedly Li Xu walked up to her and said lightly , " Okay, I'll go get the money."

In an instant, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Li Xu.

Lin Ruoxi hurriedly pulled Li Xu and said , " What nonsense are you talking about? Why do you want the money back? You should know who Mr. Wei is. If you go there, you won't even be able to see him and you will be beaten to a cripple!"

Lin Ruoxi was a little angry. Li Xu was really too self-righteous. Who did he think he was?

Go to Master Wei San to ask for money? I'm afraid Master Wei San's disciples can make Li Xu lose his hands and feet!

It's already annoying enough, and he's still causing trouble here!

"Oh my, you're not afraid of your tongue being blown away by the strong wind. You really think you're a big shot!" said the second sister-in-law sarcastically.

"That's right, do you think you can get money? I'll eat this table!" said the sister-in-law disdainfully.

"Okay, you said it yourself, but don't forget, you can eat from this table for a year!" Li Xu said coldly.

Li Xu was very disgusted with this woman. Since she dared to swear and swear, he would let her suffer the consequences.

"How dare you! Who are you to dare to talk nonsense here? What will you say if you can't get the money?" The eldest brother Lin Zhiyi slammed the table and stood up and said.

He simply didn't believe that a food delivery man could collect debts from the king of Tianhu City's underground, so he said this deliberately to squeeze Li Xu.

"If I can't get the money, I will divorce Lin Ruoxi." Li Xu said calmly.

"Okay! I'll wait for you to get the money!" Zhao Manyu said coldly, "If you can't get the money, leave Ruoxi and get out of here."

Lin Ruoxi was also stunned. She didn't expect Li Xu to say that.

It was obviously an impossible task, so why did he take it upon himself and even gamble his marriage with it?

Lin Ruoxi suddenly felt distressed. Did this man know that he couldn't get the money back and deliberately find an excuse for divorce?

Although it was a marriage of arrangement, his scheming made Lin Ruoxi feel heartbroken!

"Are you really going to collect the debt?" Lin Ruoxi said coldly.

Li Xu nodded and said , " Yes, I can get my money back."

"Haha, then go ahead! Don't regret it!" Lin Ruoxi's attitude turned cold.

Li Xu was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, turned around and walked outside.

Lin Ruoxi clenched her teeth tightly. She had originally thought that this man might be worthy of her reliance, but people’s hearts are really hidden. It was a waste of her time to bring him home for dinner.
