Chapter 168: No Harassing Su Yun Jiao

It seemed he hadn't expected Lu Jingqing to have additional conditions; Lu Chi asked, "What else do you want? This is all I can give."

If Lu Jingqing asks for anything else, I can't give it either.

But Lu Jingqing merely said lightly, "I really don't like my fiancée being harassed. From today on, you must not harass Jiao Jiao; you have to fulfill this condition, otherwise you'll bear the consequences."

When Lu Chi heard Lu Jingqing say that, he felt a pang in his chest.

Harassment?

I don't know when it started, but I actually began harassing Su Yun Jiao.

Clearly, what I disliked most before was Su Yun Jiao getting close to me.

"Okay, I promise you."

Lu Chi directly agreed to Lu Jingqing.

After a short while, Lu Chi had already taken a taxi to Lu Jingqing's home.

This time Lu Chi brought his private seal and a series of property documents.

Seeing Lu Jingqing really agree to Lu Chi, Su Yun Jiao was somewhat surprised, and moreover the company's legal team also came over.

It looks like this time they're getting serious.

"Go upstairs first; I'll come up and talk to you in a moment."

Lu Jingqing rubbed Su Yun Jiao's head.

After Su Yun Jiao went upstairs, Lu Jingqing then had the lawyer explain the terms.

Lu Chi clearly knew these were tyrant's clauses, but now he could only agree to them one by one.

"From today on, you must not harass Su Yun Jiao, Miss Su; otherwise it will also count as a breach of contract."

When the lawyer reached the last clause, Lu Chi clenched his fists.

It seemed he had already resigned himself to fate.

After confirming everything was correct, Lu Chi signed the contract and also stamped it with Zheng Hongyu's private seal.

After doing that, Lu Chi looked up and asked Lu Jingqing, "When can my mother come out?"

"Go back and wait for news; you'll be able to come out soon."

Lu Jingqing's expression was indifferent.

Since Lu Chi was willing to hand over everything of the Lu Family, he would also keep the agreement and release Zheng Hongyu.

Because Zheng Hongyu is now worthless whether kept or released, anyway she'll have to live penniless if she goes back, and the rest of her life is destined to be miserable.

"Okay."

When Lu Chi got up, he happened to see Su Yun Jiao coming downstairs; at the moment he saw her, he quickly averted his gaze and then turned and left Jingyuan without looking back.

Su Yun Jiao always felt Lu Chi was a bit weird, and she said, "Brother Jingqing, what's written in there?"

"Didn't I tell you to come down later? Why are you so impatient?"

Lu Jingqing rubbed Su Yun Jiao's head.

Su Yun Jiao said, "I saw you hadn't gone up for a while, so I wanted to come down and check."

Today Lu Jingqing took leave, waiting until she started school before planning to go to work.

Lu Jingqing gestured for the legal team to leave first.

Finally, speaking to Su Yun Jiao, he said, "Lu Chi's conditions are more than sufficient, so I agreed, and I will also keep the promise to release Zheng Hongyu, but rest assured. From now on, Lu Chi will definitely not pester you anymore."

Su Yun Jiao quickly understood; it must be that Lu Jingqing had written some supplementary clauses in the contract, otherwise Lu Chi wouldn't have averted his gaze the moment he saw her.

"I understand, thank you, Brother Jingqing."

Su Yun Jiao nodded.

Thus, she and Lu Chi, mother and son, finally had no relation whatsoever.

It was already afternoon.

Lu Chi had been waiting outside the Jing Ju for Zheng Hongyu to come out.

After waiting almost an hour and a half, once the procedures were finished, Zheng Hongyu finally walked out of the Jing Ju.

Seeing the sunlight, Zheng Hongyu nodded with satisfaction, walked up to Lu Chi, and said, "My son is smart and efficient, letting me get released on bail so quickly."

Lu Chi looked at his mother before him, but dared not speak the truth.

Zheng Hongyu said, "Let's go, we'll drive home."

"Mom..."

Lu Chi hesitated a moment, then said, "We can't go back."

"What do you mean we can't go back?"

Zheng Hongyu, still in the detention center and unaware of what had happened, felt her heart give a sudden 'thump' when she heard Lu Chi say they couldn't go back, as if sensing something was wrong.

"Why can't we go back?"

Zheng Hongyu grabbed Lu Chi's arm and anxiously demanded, "Speak! What exactly did you do?"

"I... I gave all of our assets to Lu Jingqing; only then did he agree to settle and release you."

"What!"

Hearing Lu Chi's words, Zheng Hongyu felt the world collapse: "Are you crazy? You actually gave all of our assets to Lu Jingqing? How stupid can you be? Do you know how much those few houses and cars are worth? How could you give everything we own to Lu Jingqing?!"

Zheng Hongyu couldn't accept what Lu Chi said, and her face turned ferocious: "You idiot! Idiot!"

Lu Chi remained silent.

Besides this method, he couldn't think of any other way to get Zheng Hongyu out.

Zheng Hongyu grabbed Lu Chi's arm and was about to head toward Jingyuan.

"Mom! What are you doing?!"

"You ask what I'm doing! Of course I'm taking back what belongs to us!"

Mom, wake up! That money was never ours to begin with; you embezzled public funds, and that money will have to be paid back sooner or later. If Lu Jingqing wanted to kill us, it would be as easy as squashing an ant.

Are you trying to make us mother and son sleep on the streets? I'm telling you, it's absolutely impossible!

Zheng Hongyu had struggled half her life to live a life above the ordinary, a lifestyle that had lasted over a decade, and now she was about to lose it all, which she could not accept at all.

Lu Chi watched his mother acting crazy on the street, and he could only step forward and say: "Mom, I've hidden the box of gold you had me take; that box alone is worth several million. I'm going to exchange that gold now, and that money will already be enough for us to buy an apartment—we won't be penniless."

Several million... is several million enough to satisfy you? Lu Chi, how could I have given birth to such a useless son!

That box of gold contained nothing more than five million.

It was Zheng Hongyu's savings for handling affairs.

Five million would at most buy a small apartment under seventy square meters in the city center; even if there were some left over, no one knows how long it would last, and besides, Lu Chi will soon be taking the College Entrance Exam and still needs to prepare for university expenses.

They, mother and son, would have to endure those hard days again.

Lu Mu cupped Lu Chi's face and said: "Son, I will absolutely not let the family be without money; I'm going to find Lu Jingqing now, have him lock me up, and then return all that money to us."
