Chapter 17: Debt Collection
The name Zhang Leiming is not unfamiliar to Shen Chen. He is Xiaoting's cousin, and he used to have the same smell as Shen Chen.
Until he found out that Shen Chen was kicked out of the house by the Shen family, he completely cut off contact like other fox friends and dog friends.
Knowing that Zhang Leiming was engaged today, Shen Chen was a little taken aback.
If you are not mistaken, this should be Zhang Leiming's fourth engagement, right? I was married three times before, and all of them were divorced.
When Zhang Yuting finished attending her cousin's engagement banquet, her face was obviously helpless.
Originally, she planned to invite all the employees of the company to travel today, but she had to cancel her cousin's engagement banquet.
The point is that she doesn't want to participate at all. Because she knew that if she went, she would have to face overwhelming inquiries and ridicule.
"Don't say anything after you go, just sit next to me."
Zhang Yuting said coldly, and then took the lead in leaving the villa with her bag.
However, there was still only a smile on Shen Chen's face.
He knew that the other party wanted to protect himself. After all, when going to an occasion related to the Zhang family, it is a lot of mistakes.
…………
Zhang Leiming's engagement banquet was held in a four-star hotel in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and the members of the Zhang family had basically arrived.
"Dad, I see that everyone is almost there. Why don't we start now? ”
Zhang Leiming was wearing a brand-name suit, standing in the crowd energetically and greeting all the Zhang family members who arrived.
Until he appeared in front of his father, he hurriedly asked in a low voice.
Zhang Leiming's father is named Zhang Minbing, and he is Zhang Minjun's younger brother.
He first glanced at his eldest brother, and then reminded with a displeased face: "Big brother, what time is it, why hasn't Xiaoting come yet?" ”
On the day of Zhang Yuting's grandfather's death, he said that Zhang Yuting would inherit all the property of the Zhang family.
As long as it is Zhang Yuting's decision, it is equivalent to his decision. All members of the Zhang family must obey unconditionally.
Although many members of the Zhang family were not convinced, because Zhang Yuting had seized the money of the entire Zhang family, they could only choose to endure it.
Zhang Minjun is another playboy who doesn't do his job all day, and he only asks for money from his daughter.
Now after listening to the words of the second brother, he was also angry: "I know that today is his cousin's engagement banquet, but I dare to be late!" ”
"It's 7:59:58 a.m., and I'm not late."
As soon as Zhang Minjun's words fell, he saw Zhang Yuting enter the hotel lobby with Shen Chen expressionlessly.
In an instant, everyone's eyes shifted to Zhang Yuting.
Many members of the Zhang family began to whisper, and many people pointed to Shen Chen behind Zhang Yuting and said irresponsible things.
On the other hand, Zhang Militia looked extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly smiled in the face of Zhang Yuting, who suddenly appeared: "Hehe, it's good that you're not late." ”
"Why did he come along?"
Zhang Minjun was very dissatisfied with his daughter's approach, and felt that the other party had lost all his people.
So when I saw the waste of the Shen family coming with me, the anger surged up!
"He's my husband, what's wrong with me attending the Zhang family's engagement banquet?"
Zhang Yuting has long been accustomed to this kind of occasion, and retorted mercilessly in the face of her father's questioning.
"You!"
Zhang Minjun just wanted to get angry, but his younger brother persuaded him first: "Big brother, Xiaoting is not wrong to say so." Eliminate gas first. ”
It's just that after speaking, there was a trace of disdain in his eyes that looked at Shen Chen.
"I think this guy is used to eating soft rice. I knew that this kind of occasion should not come, but I had to be cheeky and rub it over. ”
At this moment, a middle-aged female voice suddenly came from the hotel lobby.
Zhang Yuting frowned slightly, turned around and stared at the woman who spoke dissatisfiedly.
"Xiaoting, I say this for your own good. Everyone has been kicked out by the Shen family, why don't you find a way to divorce soon? Otherwise, the longer it drags on, be careful that this guy completely relies on you and refuses to leave. Who are you going to reason with then? ”
This mean-spoken middle-aged woman is Zhang Yuting's sister-in-law.
Because I married a wealthy husband, I talk nonsense all day long, and I am also very snobbish.
In the past, I could use the place where Shen Chen, and I thought of a way. Now I don't need it, it's all kinds of vitriol.
Zhang Yuting was very angry about this, but did not immediately refute it. Instead, he observed Shen Chen's expression first.
Seeing that the latter was still acting lightly, it seemed that he had long been used to it. It is inevitable that there will be some disappointment in my heart.
When the Shen family drove you away back then, did they even throw away your dignity with them?
She suddenly grabbed Shen Chen's arm and walked straight towards the empty seat, too lazy to talk to this group of people.
But this move angered his sister-in-law, and said in a weird manner: "Alas, I think some people are stubborn." What is the saying? If you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer in front of you. Forget it, since some people don't want to listen, I don't bother to say it. ”
In addition to the cosmetics company left by Xiaoting's grandfather, the Zhang family also expects her sister-in-law's husband to be able to support some scenes.
In the past, Zhang Yuting would give her second uncle some monthly living expenses, which was regarded as compensation.
Recently, because the company's profit has been declining, the cost of living has naturally decreased a lot.
Zhang militia is now breathing out of the same nostril with his sister, so he naturally can't get used to Zhang Yuting's attitude.
hurriedly echoed: "Xiaoting, what your sister-in-law said is right. At the beginning, your grandfather married you to Shen Chen for the sake of business. Now that Shen Chen has been removed from the Shen family, keeping this kid is not good for you or the reputation of the Zhang family. ”
To say that Shen Chen was quite speechless at this moment.
These people just say it, and they actually say it in front of themselves. And how hard it is to hear, how bad it is.
Don't you just want to force yourself to take the initiative to leave Xiaoting?
If it can be solved with just a few words, then wouldn't it be a waste of my five hundred years in the cultivation realm?
It may be that seeing Shen Chen's face not changing and his heart not beating, many people in the Zhang family have already darkened their faces.
"This kid is too shameless, isn't he? Having said so, it still seems like no one is fine. Or are you really stupid and don't understand? ”
The engagement banquet has begun, and all the fifteen members of the Zhang family are arranged in a luxurious box.
The Zhang family and the in-laws were chatting and laughing, but Zhang Yuting and Shen Chen seemed a little out of place.
They didn't say a word the whole time.
Zhang Yuting is receiving a report from the secretary because of the company's affairs.
Shen Chen raised his chopsticks and ate the delicacies on the table as if no one was around. Occasionally, I will help Xiaoting sandwich two sweet and sour pork ribs.
Just when the enthusiasm was high, unexpectedly, there was a loud "bang", and the door of the box was suddenly kicked open!
After that, I saw two middle-aged men swaggering in, and glanced at everyone present.
The corner of the bald middle-aged man raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and then fixed his gaze on Zhang Leiming's body.
"Boy, if you don't pay back the money you borrowed from our eldest brother, you are still interested in coming here for an engagement banquet?!"
Except for Shen Chen, everyone present was frightened by this sudden scene.
Even Zhang Yuting, who was receiving information, couldn't help staring at the two fierce middle-aged people in a daze.
Zhang Leiming trembled, and was so frightened that he immediately hid behind his father.
"I'll give you another ten minutes. Either pay back the money or pay back your life. ”
"Thunder, are they?"
Zhang Militia didn't know that his son owed a lot of debts outside, and asked with a blank expression.
"We? Tsk, we are the ones who lend your son usury. ”
Hearing that his son actually borrowed a loan shark, Zhang Militia suddenly said angrily: "When did you borrow it?" How much money was borrowed? ”
"Second brother, no matter how much Lei Ming owes, I, as a sister-in-law, will pay it back."
Zhang Yuting's sister-in-law suddenly stood up and said indifferently, and after speaking, she didn't forget to glance at Zhang Yuting who was sitting in the corner.
"Tell me, how much does Thunder owe you in total?"
Relying on her own marriage to a rich husband, Zhang Yuting's sister-in-law didn't take the two of them seriously at all.
"With interest, a total of 20 million."
The bald middle-aged man stretched out two fingers and replied with a cold face.
