Supreme Heir Son-in-law

"Brother, in my current situation, I really can’t come up with the money. To be honest, I’m calling today to ask if I could borrow some from you, just to get through this crisis. I really can’t pay back that fifty million right now, but give me some time to get back on my feet, and I’ll repay you. I have a batch of goods that will be shipped out soon, and the money will come in next week. I’ll definitely pay you back then. Could you give me some time?"

"We’ve known each other for so many years, and I do trust you, so I’ll wait for a week. However, even good brothers need to keep accounts clear. Let me be frank: if by this time next week I don’t see my eighty million, the cooperation between our companies will have to end. Don’t blame me for not warning you."

"I understand, I’ll definitely pay you back by then."

This time, after hanging up, Lu Yong’an didn’t throw things, and even Mrs. Lu didn’t shout anything. The two of them sat facing each other, silent like statues. The words ’pay back’ were like the mythical Five-Finger Mountain of the Buddha, unexpectedly pressing down on his back, causing his once straight spine to bend slightly.

Mrs. Lu’s voice finally brought Mr. Lu back to reality. He gritted his teeth and said, "Call. Why not? As long as there’s the slightest chance, we can’t let it slip away." Although Mr. Lu said this, he already had an answer in his heart. He feared that no one would be willing to lend money to the Lu family, but he was unwilling to give up, even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance.
