Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk! - Chapter 207
Chapter 207: Chapter 207 Boss Lü
“Borrowing money to renovate? Fifty percent interest? Such high interest? Could it be a scam? You haven’t been duped by this boss, have you?” Liu Yujuan became somewhat wary.
Who would borrow money at fifty percent interest?
It looks just like a scam.
“Sister Juan, we know this boss; he’s no swindler. He’s a wealthy man, but all his money is tied up in stocks. He doesn’t want to sell at a loss, believing that the stocks will at least double in value in the future. And since the restaurant can’t go without renovations, that’s why he’s so eager to borrow money for a quick refurbishment,” Li Fang explained.
“Shouldn’t the restaurant owner have a house? He could completely mortgage his house to get a loan for the renovation,” Liu Yujuan raised a question.
“Of course, he has a house, but it’s already mortgaged, and he can’t get a loan from the bank,” Li Fang said.
“Then he should have quite a few friends; he could totally borrow money from friends to renovate,” Liu Yujuan added.
“He has already borrowed from all the relatives and friends he could, it’s just a little short, and he’s in a hurry to renovate, so that’s why he’s offering such a high interest rate to borrow the money,” Li Fang said.
“How much did you all borrow?” Hearing that there were reasonable explanations, Liu Yujuan seemed convinced.
“Each of us borrowed two hundred thousand. You know that we don’t have money like you do, and seeing such an opportunity, we made countless calls before we managed to gather this money. To earn a hundred thousand in a year is more than what many white-collar workers make, so of course, we’re going to seize it!” Li Fang said.
“Earning a hundred thousand in a year, where would you find such an opportunity? Now that we know about it, we’re definitely not going to pass it up. You’re our sister, and we hope you can make money with us,” another sister chimed in.
“Sister Juan, you said your daughter Yu Lu hasn’t agreed with Xu Yang, but you should still have several million, right? The boss only needs another million borrowed. If you lend out a million, you’ll make half a million after a year; that’s a BMW right there,” Li Fang said.
“A million, earning five hundred thousand in a year, that is indeed very good. You’re telling me this news and bringing me in to make money, naturally, I am grateful. However, I need to meet the boss before I can make a final decision.”
Liu Yujuan felt confident in her ability to judge people and could tell whether someone was a swindler or not, deciding she would meet the boss first.
“Sure, I’ll bring the boss over,” Li Fang said with a smile, immediately rising from her seat to leave the private room and fetch the boss.
Before long, Li Fang came back with a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.
The middle-aged man had a square face, a respectable appearance, and didn’t look like a deceitful person; he seemed very reliable.
“Sister Juan, this is Lu Wei, the restaurant’s boss, Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu, this is our sister, Sister Juan,” Li Fang introduced them.
“Ms. Liu, hello,” Lu Wei greeted Liu Yujuan with a smile and a nod.
“Hello.” Liu Yujuan felt immediately that Lu Wei indeed seemed trustworthy. “Mr. Lu, my sisters told me to lend you money at fifty percent interest. Is that true?”
“Of course, it’s true. Honestly, I wouldn’t do this if there were any other way. If it weren’t for Li Fang mentioning there’s a sister with money, I would have had to sell some of my stocks,” Lu Wei said.
“Alright, since my sisters trust you, I trust you too. But I’ve invested all my money in stocks. I’ll sell them this afternoon and come sign the contract with you tomorrow at noon. Then I’ll give you the money,” Liu Yujuan said.
Having invested in stocks was just an excuse she had found.
In fact, her money was just lying in the bank, ready to be withdrawn at any time.
But she still didn’t want to lend the money right then, deciding to go home and think carefully about whether it was worth it.
If it was worthwhile, she would come again tomorrow.
If she sensed something fishy, she wouldn’t come back.
It was a precaution.
“No problem, It’s perfect. I can have the contract ready today, so when you come over tomorrow, we can sign right away,” Lu Wei said with a smile.
“Great,” Liu Yujuan nodded satisfactorily.
“Sister Juan, we’ll also join you tomorrow.”
“Yes, yes, we’ll all come together.”
“The food here at Mr. Lu’s is excellent; we’ll come for a meal again at noon tomorrow.”
All the sisters expressed they would come together.
“You’re welcome to join, and I’ll cover both meals. Order whatever you like; you must be hungry. I’ll have the kitchen prepare the dishes right away,” Lu Wei said.
“Then thanks a lot to Boss Lu, we won’t be shy.”
“Sister Juan, you’re the star today, you do the ordering.”
“Sister Juan, let me tell you, some of the signature dishes here…”
A group of women chattered away, and then placed their orders.
Lu Wei left to make arrangements.
Once he left the private room and closed the door behind him, the corners of his mouth curled into an enigmatic smile.
He wasn’t borrowing money to refurbish the restaurant, but had actually lost a gambling bet in Ao city. With no way out, he concocted an excuse to borrow money from everyone.
Soon, the food arrived.
The women ate and chatted as they dined.
“Sister Juan, how come you didn’t drive here today?” Liu Yujuan asked.
“I sold my car,” Liu Yujuan replied.
“What? Why did you sell the car? You haven’t had it for long, right?”
“Yeah, that was a Porsche Panamera, why sell it?”
All the women were quite surprised.
“I just felt that the car wasn’t very nice to drive, planning to change to another one,” Liu Yujuan did not tell the truth.
Having a 4.8 million watch stolen was not something to be proud of.
“Sister Juan, you’re rich to the point of caprice.”
“No choice, who has a future son-in-law that’s a billionaire, right?”
“That’s true, changing a Porsche is nothing. If you want to change, just change.”
“Oh, if only I had such a son-in-law too.”
“I no longer hold that hope, the boyfriend my daughter picked is a poor guy, destined to work for others his whole life. My daughter’s head over heels in love with him, insisting on him and no one else, it’s driving me crazy.”
Unaware of the specific circumstances, everyone looked enviously.
A Porsche Panamera was something they dreamed about but could never attain.
Liu Yujuan casually saying it wasn’t very nice to drive only fueled their envy.
Having a wealthy son-in-law sure seemed fantastic.
“By the way, Sister Juan, what kind of car are you thinking of getting next time?” Li Fang inquired.
“I think I should get a Ferrari sports car!”
“Aren’t sports cars usually for young people, would that suit you?”
“What’s not suitable about it, Sister Juan still looks very young.”
“Yes, Sister Juan keeps up her appearance well, unlike us, just plain janes. Walking beside Sister Juan, people would say we’re not even from the same generation.”
The sisters were full of compliments again.
“I’m not sure yet what car to get, I’ll have a look first.”
Liu Yujuan’s hope now rested on Zhao Yulu reconciling with Xu Yang.
Without the reconciliation, she wouldn’t have the money for a new car.
As for what she would tell the sisters later when they asked, she would cross that bridge when she came to it.
