Chapter 16
In the evening, the Lu and Bei families sat together again.
Dad Lu was furious, Mom Lu lowered her head and wiped her tears, Bei Lvxin sat on the chair and gasped, Bei Mosha took off her glasses and rubbed her eyebrows, Lu Xiaofan lowered his head and acted as a sinner, Bei Lvqing lowered his head and looked at the menu.
Dad Lu slapped the table to break the silence and said, "My dear relatives, you have to say something no matter what. Our Xiaofan is a country boy who knows nothing. Your child takes him to do such dirty and obscene things, huh?"
Such a quarrel had obviously lasted for a whole day. Bei Mosha was a little exhausted and said, "What do you mean our child takes your Xiaofan to do dirty things? Which eye of yours saw that it was our child who took the initiative, huh? In our opinion, it is your child who is more proactive! He likes to stick to Lvqing at ordinary times. Who doesn't know this?"
Dad Lu roared, "Our Xiaofan is so timid that he is not even as timid as an ant. Can he lead your son astray? Don't lie here with your eyes open. Not to mention anything else, your own daughter is not married yet. "Your son is pregnant, how can he be good!"
Bei Mosha put on gold-rimmed glasses and said, "Lu Zhenxing, you should be reasonable. Lv Xin has nothing to do with you. Now it's your son who is sorry for our Lv Xin, and you are blaming him! Besides, is there any father-in-law who says this about his daughter-in-law? You have never been to school and have no manners!"
Lu's father said with red eyes, "Bah, you are uneducated. I think you are an old rogue! The upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked!"
Bei Mosha didn't have time to retort, Bei Lv Xin flew the teapot in front of him and threw it at Lu's father, shouting, "You shameless old rogue, I told you to scold my father!"
Lu's father did a lot of farm work and was quite agile. He tilted his head and the teapot flew to the back. The flying magnetic fragments scratched his skin and scratched Lu's father several times.
Lu's father saw that his own son was fucked by someone else's son. He was in the right, but someone dared to hit him with a teapot. He was so angry that his eyes turned red.
Seeing that a big battle was about to come, Bei Luqing suddenly closed the menu and said coldly: "What do you want to do?"
"What?" Lu's father was stunned. He was not used to making decisions. In the past, it was Lu's mother who helped to make decisions, and then it was Lu Xiaoping. Now Lu's mother has collapsed and Lu Xiaoping is not here. He couldn't come up with any good suggestions for a while. He was speechless for a while, grabbed the instinct, and gritted his teeth and said: "I want you to pay."
Bei Luqing glanced at Lu Xiaofan who was looking down, grinned and said: "How much do you want to pay?"
"How much?" Lu's father hurried to see Lu's mother.
Lu's mother suddenly covered her eyes and cried loudly. Lu Xiaofan raised his head this time, but quickly lowered his head again. The whole room was quiet, with only the sound of Lu's mother sobbing.
Before Lu's mother finished crying, she suddenly heard the waiter outside the door shouting, "Sir, sir, please don't barge in."
The waiter had just finished speaking when the door was pushed open with a bang, and Lu Xiaoping was seen drunkenly saying, "Bei Luqing, why are you playing tricks on me?! Why are you causing every household in our Lujia Village to go bankrupt?!"
When he shouted like this, Lu's father's eyes widened, Lu's mother forgot to cry, and Lu Xiaofan raised his head.
Without even turning his head, Bei Luqing said calmly, "Did I ask you to set up a private account and trade futures based on the information I gave you? Did I ask you to sell my information to others privately? If you behave yourself, I actually don't mind paying you 10,000 yuan a month to play games! The one who ruined your Lujia Village and left you with nothing is not someone else, but you, Lu Xiaoping!"
Dad Lu was so shocked that he sat on the stool and couldn't move. Mom Lu stood up by the table and said, "Xiaoping... did you lose all the 100,000 yuan..."
Lu Xiaoping trembled and said, "And, there's a little more..."
Mom Lu stood up, approached Lu Xiaoping, looked at his face and asked, "How much is a little..."
"A few thousand yuan..." Lu Xiaoping's body went limp, and he sat on the ground, hugging Lu's mother's legs and said, "Lu's mother, you have to save me this time no matter what..."
Lu's mother felt her eyes go dark, and the people of the Lu family seemed to feel that the world had turned upside down. They sold their son for 2,000 yuan, but suddenly owed a huge debt of 100,000 yuan.
Everyone's face was ashen, Bei Luxin looked relieved, and kept cursing, Bei Mosha shook her head repeatedly, and Lu's father murmured, "It's all gone, all gone..."
Bei Luqing opened the red wine bottle and poured himself a glass of wine, then took out a wallet from his arms, took out a check from it, and said, "Aren't you going to pay it back? Is 100,000 yuan enough?"
He handed the check over the table and drew it all the way in front of Lu's father. Lu Xiaofan looked at the hand, which was white and slender, revealing a kind of calmness and grace, which was really suitable for the check, because the amount of the check was usually large, so the check was always very calm and graceful.
Father Lu's hands trembled when he saw the check. Bei Luqing said, "This 100,000 yuan is for buying Lu Xiaofan. I hope you can break off all ties with him in the future. In the future, Lu Xiaofan is Lu Xiaofan, but he is no longer your Lu family's Lu Xiaofan. Do you agree to take it?"
Bei Mosha seemed to think it was too much, and couldn't help saying, "Luqing, it doesn't seem good for you to do this... You and Xiaofan are wrong in themselves. This can't be bought off with money."
Bei Luqing said lightly, "As long as the people of the Lu family are willing, it's fine!"
Father Lu thought of those villagers and Old Lady Liu. He didn't dare to owe them money, because losing that money was like taking their lives. How many people would seek death for this thin piece of paper, and how many people would really die. He didn't dare to try it at all.
Selling a son for 100,000 yuan is probably a very good price, not to mention that the son has already been sold.
As soon as Lu's father moved his shoulders, Lu's mother said sternly: "Lu Zhenxing, if you dare to accept this check, I will never set foot in your Lu family again from now on!"
Lu Xiaoping was relieved to hear that Bei Luqing was willing to pay the 100,000 yuan, but when he heard Lu's mother say that she would not accept it, he quickly knelt down and took two steps: "Lu's mother, Lu's mother, I know I was wrong, please save me, please save me!"
Lu's mother looked at her eldest son with tears in her eyes. Because he seemed smart and had good grades since he was a child, she had always cultivated him as a hope. Every broth in the pot had to be provided to this hope first, but a crooked seedling grew out of the fat. Maybe she did something wrong from the beginning.
Lu's mother said in a trembling voice: "Everyone is responsible for his own actions. Whoever plants the beans shall reap the harvest. You did something wrong, so why let your brother Xiaofan take the blame for you? This time Lu's mother can't save you, and I can't pay back the 100,000 yuan, so I have to take your life back and give it to everyone!"
After hearing this, Lu Xiaoping hugged Lu's mother's legs tightly and cried hysterically. Lu's father couldn't help but said in a trembling voice: "Lu's mother, let's not talk about the 50,000 yuan from Old Lady Liu. Just say that 10,000 yuan out of the 100,000 yuan belongs to my second sister. You know that my second sister is a widow, and she saved such a little money on those few acres of thin land just to provide for her children. It's for studying. If you don't pay him back, are you going to take her life? And there's Lu San's 20,000 yuan. That's the medical expenses that Lu San had to pay for someone hitting him. His legs and feet are not working well. How can he live without this money? What's the point of them taking our child's life? Besides, this is what they owe us. They ruined our child. Shouldn't they pay for it?"
Lu Xiaoping shook Lu's mother's legs desperately. Lu's mother seemed to be a little shaken by the reality. If you want to hold your head high and live as a person, sometimes you need more than just backbone. You also need capital.
In the chaos, Lu Xiaofan suddenly picked up the check and stuffed it to Lu's father, saying, "Take it, take it!"
Lu's father didn't expect Lu Xiaofan to take the initiative to stuff the check in front of him. He was a little confused for a moment. Lu's mother couldn't help but said in a lost voice, "Xiaofan!"
Lu Xiaofan forced a smile and said, "This is what I borrowed from Brother Lu Qing. I will pay him back slowly... It may take a long time to pay back this money. I have never done anything to make my parents happy since I was a child, and I am afraid I won't be able to do so in the future..."
Father Lu looked at Lu Xiaofan as if he was a little confused. Bei Luxin smiled coldly and said, "I understand. Your son is going to sever ties with you. Although Lu Xiaofan is annoying and mean enough, ten of him cannot be as disgusting as one of you. I will never have to see you again in the future, then..." That's great."
Dad Lu pointed at Lu Xiaofan while shaking the check and yelled, "Is that what you mean? Ah, is that what you mean?"
Lu Xiaofan lowered his head and nodded. Dad Lu was so angry that he took off his shoes and rushed over to beat Lu Xiaofan, but was stopped by Bei Luqing, who said, "If you take the 100,000 yuan, Lu Xiaofan will no longer be considered a member of your family. If he is not a member of your family, it is not your turn to hit him!"
Dad Lu was so angry that his face turned red. The check in his hand was like a hot potato. He wanted to throw it away, but he couldn't. He endured it again and again, but finally couldn't help but want to beat Lu Xiaofan again. Xiao Fan was stopped by Lu Ma. She looked as if her spine was pulled out at once. She said weakly, "I understand what Xiao Fan means... Lu Dad, let's go..."
Lu Xiaoping was afraid that Lu Ma would regret not wanting the 100,000 yuan. What's more, he took Li Wenxi's money, but caused Li Wenxi to suffer heavy losses. He was afraid that he would not let him go. He stumbled to his feet and said, "Lu Ma, let's go!"
Lu Xiaofan sent Lu Dad and Lu Ma to the door. Seeing them like this, he, as a parent and an elderly person, Although Bei Mosha had just made a big noise, she still felt a little reluctant and said, "We are all responsible for what happened. Let's talk about it when everyone is calm."
Lu's mother whispered, "Thank you for your help."
Bei Luqing sat motionless on the chair drinking his wine. It seemed that the coming or going of the Lu family had nothing to do with him. Lu Xiaofan thought that it might be because it was an item he bought, so he didn't need to bother to deal with the manufacturer of the item. Lu
Xiaofan sent his parents to the door, then hurriedly took out an envelope from his pocket and said, "This is the plane ticket I bought for you, and a little money, take it."
Lu's father picked up the envelope and threw it on the ground, saying, "Who cares? In the future, our Lu family will not have a son like you, so we will pretend that we have never had you!"
Lu Xiaoping also said with red eyes, "I don't know if he deliberately teamed up with Bei Luqing to plot against me. I only found out today that Bei Luqing bought a lot of corn in the futures market and made a lot of money, but You lied to me about short selling corn!"
He had barely finished his words when Lu's mother slapped him hard. The hands of a woman who farms are so strong that Lu Xiaoping felt his teeth loosen and his face swelled up immediately after the slap. It was obvious that Lu's mother did not leave any room for mercy. He could not help but cover his face and said, "Lu... Lu's mother!"
Lu's mother's chest rose and fell as she said, "You have no ability but are greedier than anyone else. You don't even understand the most basic principles of being a human being! You have been in trouble again and again. Who pulled you out of the mud? You were pulled out of Badili. If you knew a little gratitude, you wouldn't stir up trouble everywhere. If you didn't stir up trouble everywhere, would Bei Luqing plot against you? If Xiaofan... didn't have so many things to do with you, would he have called a man to treat him like a woman today?"
Lu Xiaofan's eyes suddenly turned red, and he whispered, "Forget it, forget it... Mom Lu, take brother back. He spread the wrong message and I'm afraid he can't stay in the city."
Mom Lu sighed, turned around and glared at Dad Lu, and said, "Take Xiaofan's Pick up the envelope! "
Dad Lu saw that Mom Lu's eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and remembering that he was also involved in today's events, he was not so confident anymore. He bent down and picked up the envelope. Mom Lu took the envelope and took out the plane ticket from it, then returned the money and the envelope to Lu Xiaofan, choking and saying, "Xiaofan, you will be well in the future... We... will never bother you again."
Lu Xiaofan looked at the backs of Dad Lu and Mom Lu supporting each other. Their backs would always appear in his dreams for a long time.
Bei Mosha was obviously an amateur in how to negotiate with his children, because Bei Luqing didn't need to negotiate since he was a child, and Bei Luxin couldn't negotiate. It was also a big blow to him to find out that his child was a homosexual, but it was far less than that of ordinary parents.
For Bei Mosha, who was a gangster when he was very young, lived in a cowshed when he was middle-aged, and worked at the top of the financial industry when he was old, what he feared most was how to explain to Shen Wubishi, and how to cover up this matter and minimize its impact on himself and his family, rather than the fact that Bei Luqing was gay.
He looked at Lu Xiaofan, the son-in-law whom he originally thought was easy to take care of and like a decoration, but he actually gave him the biggest problem. He put on his gold-rimmed glasses and said solemnly, "Such a mess happened at home. As a father, I should reflect on myself first. I did not fulfill my obligations as a caregiver, which led to such a thing happening at home." He took a deep breath and said, "I hope you can understand how a parent feels when they see you in this state. I can understand Lu's father and mother... I hope you can understand the feelings of being a father and mother. People live in this world not only for themselves, but also have to consider their social roles and family responsibilities!" He looked at Bei Luqing and said, "Since Luqing has a good impression of Miss Song, let's find a time to get married earlier... As for Xiaofan... I still hope you can try again with Lu Xin. After all, I still hope that you can find your respective correct positions." Lu Xiaofan listened to Bei Mosha's words and looked up at Bei Luqing, who listened quietly to Bei Mosha's lecture without expressing any objection.
Bei Luxin's face had always been quite pale, and when Bei Mosha said this, she suddenly interrupted sharply, "Why should I try again with this pervert?!" Bei Mosha said seriously, "Luxin, don't you think you are also responsible for the situation they are in today?"
Bei Luxin glanced at Lu Xiaofan, as if she was looking at an enemy she had hated for a long time. Lu Xiaofan was actually quite apologetic. When he called Bei Luxin, he had wondered if it was too cruel, but he knew that Bei Luxin was the most suitable person. No matter who he called, whether it was Bei Mosha or Lu's mother, they would come quietly to see what was going on. No one would make a big fuss like Bei Luxin and drag so many people over.
They have no feelings for each other, only a little bit of legal ties. Lu Xiaofan whispered, "I'd better divorce Lu Xin!"
Bei Mosha frowned, and looked at him repeatedly through his gold-rimmed glasses, as if considering Lu Xiaofan's sincerity or the purpose behind this. He said in a deep voice, "If you want to divorce Lu Xin, then you must leave the Bei family immediately and leave the capital. Of course, if you are willing to go abroad, I can also handle it, but you will not have any contact with Lu Qing in the future. Can you do this?"
Lu Xiaofan glanced at Bei Lu Qing, who still had no expression, so Lu Xiaofan replied, " Then I will go abroad."
Bei Lvqing's hand finally paused, he finally raised his eyes, he finally asked: "Lu Xiaofan, why have you been around me all these years?"
Why? Lu Xiaofan felt that Bei Lvqing could answer this question himself, but he asked himself in such a tone, Lu Xiaofan did not dare to say that you are asking knowingly, so he could only smile and said: "Maybe... maybe because my brother loves me more."
Bei Lvqing and Bei Lvxin both looked straight at this timid man. This man had always been the one they decided to have or not. It was not until today that they found out that he didn't want either of them.
"Then let's do it!" Bei Mosha knocked the gavel of the final judgment for this bad relationship and scandal in the family.
The next day, Bei Mosha did not delay at all. Soon someone came to escort Lu Xiaofan out of Bei Lvqing's residence. His passport was processed at an almost extraordinary speed.
While Lu Xiaofan was packing his luggage, Bei Lvqing was watching him from the side. His expression was like looking at an insignificant person, or an aunt at home packing things. His eyes seemed to fall on Lu Xiaofan, but it was as if it was just an obstacle that happened to be in front of him. Lu
Xiaofan knew that he might really say goodbye to this man when he left. He would never see him again, and he would not dream of carrying him up the mountain at night. It would be impossible for him to say goodbye in the future, because he knew they would never see each other again.
He put everything into his suitcase, picked up his scarf and said to Bei Luqing, "I'm taking it."
Bei Luqing didn't say anything, and didn't pay any attention to him. He shamelessly stuffed the things into the suitcase, and finally picked up his phone and said, "I'm taking it."
He said everything and stuffed everything into the suitcase. This time he couldn't throw the things into the trash can, because this time he knew, because he knew, they had no future.
Lu Xiaofan was escorted like a prisoner to see Bei Mosha for the last time.
Bei Mosha glanced at him, took a deep breath and said, "This is the passport you need to apply for, and this is the plane ticket you want. You will leave here for France at three o'clock the day after tomorrow afternoon... Here is some money I have exchanged for you. Do you have any other requests?"
Lu Xiaofan hurriedly said, "No more. Thank you for your trouble, Dad Bei."
When Bei Mosha heard this address, she looked at him with a complicated expression and said, "Then I won't say much. Take care of yourself."
Spring is a very good time for Beijing. The sun is shining, dry and there is little rain. Lu Xiaofan was sitting in the airport terminal of Beijing, holding his plane ticket in his hand and his mobile phone on his knees. The light was flickering, and suddenly the ringtone rang.
He quickly picked it up and said, "Hello?"
There was a pause on the other end before the person said coldly, "It's me, not my brother!"
"Oh, Luxin..."
Bei Luxin said coldly, "I'm just telling you, don't think it will be convenient for you to be with my brother after you go abroad. If you go out, my dad will definitely not let my brother go out for several years... Don't wait for him." "
Hey! I understand..." Lu Xiaofan repeated it several times before saying, "Your brother will soon marry Miss Song Qianyu, and he won't remember to look for me."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while before Bei Luxin said, "You are really annoying, do you know that?"
"I'm sorry."
"You look so useless and spineless."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you..."
Bei Luxin seemed to have a stuffy nose and said, "You becoming a pervert has nothing to do with me."
"Yes." Lu Xiaofan stammered, "Don't feel bad about it."
"Don't dream, why should I feel bad for you!"
"Well..."
Bei Lvxin said irritably, "I have never thought about being a real couple with you. It would be great if you are willing to divorce. I will sign the agreement."
"Hey..."
Bei Lvxin said after a long while, "My father is still very polite to you. Don't blame him."
"I understand..."
"Goodbye... Lu Xiaofan." Bei Lvxin hung up the phone quickly. Lu Xiaofan thought it was the best because he didn't have to say goodbye and lie to her.
He sat in the hall, watching the time approaching. He thought that Bei Lvqing would not be an exception this time, because every time he left, he would take the initiative to find Bei Lvqing. There was no exception this time, and there would be no exception this time, so he turned off his phone. At
this time, trading had reached the most critical time for Bei Lvqing, Zhuo Xin, and Lin Ziyang. The Ministry of Agriculture finally announced today that it would open the potato market, which meant that a large number of American potatoes would flood into the Chinese market. As soon as the news came out, the price of potato contracts plummeted. The influx of a large number of short orders caused the price of potatoes to fall again and again.
Lin Ziyang and Zhuo Xin clapped their palms together and laughed, "One year is worth ten years."
At this time, Lu Tao walked out of the office and said to Shen Zhiqin outside in a friendly manner, "Is everything normal?" Shen Zhiqin
did not look up or answer, but just hummed. Lu Tao nodded as if relieved, walked to the window and watered the ginseng tree bonsai.
At the airport, Lu Xiaofan had already started queuing with his check-in card. At this moment, Bei Luqing was looking at the data that kept jumping on the screen, wondering what he was thinking.
Lu Xiaofan was the last one to stand at the top of the stairs of the plane. He stood at the door of the cabin and looked back. It was five minutes to three o'clock, five minutes before the plane to Paris took off, and five minutes before the futures market closed.
Bei Luqing closed his eyes slightly. Lin Ziyang stood aside and chatted with Zhuo Xin. Lu Tao raised his hand and held the leaves of the ginseng tree as if he was holding something rare.
Then...
the price of potatoes on the futures market suddenly soared at a rapid rate, and the entire curve chart broke out of the ground like a long needle, climbing up continuously. The speed was so fast that many traders had almost no time to react. Lin Ziyang turned around and screamed.
Bei Luqing opened his eyes and was slightly stunned. His face turned pale in an instant. He shouted: "Quick, close the position!"
Lin Ziyang and Zhuo Xin almost pounced on the table and opened all the linked accounts. The power of multiple parties did not allow them to make any resistance. One after another, the positions were blown up, so fast that they had no time to close the positions.
Lin Ziyang saw the huge wealth disappear in an instant, and his hands were shaking so much that he could hardly hold the mouse.
Zhuo Xin was sitting in a chair and saw his position blow up without any room for rescue. He couldn't even sit steadily, and fell to the ground with a plop.
This was something no one expected. The price of potatoes, which was supposed to plummet, suddenly soared.
In the last five minutes of the futures market closing, Wanda Company easily destroyed all short positions at once with a long order of 6 billion yuan, almost annihilating all shorts and becoming the biggest winner. (Note 21)
The trading hall was in chaos. Bei Luqing and Lin Ziyang suffered a catastrophic disaster in an instant, while Lu Xiaofan's plane was slowly sliding off the runway. He looked out the window and wondered what Bei Luqing was doing now that all his accounts, big and small, had been blown up at once.
This should return all that Bei Luqing had gained from the securities market in the past few years, and he might even have to sell one or two plots of land.
Through the window of the plane, some shots slid past the telephoto lens like slides.
Lin Ziyang smiled and said, "Brothers, we are still calculating such a small matter."
Lu Tao smiled and said, "We are securities traders who don't know anything else but we love calculating details."
Lu Xiaoping said proudly, "I guess this agricultural and sideline product is mostly corn... Lu Qing has been paying special attention to corn orders recently. He has made several transactions, none of which are large, but the steps are very strange, as if he is testing the waters."
Lu Xiaofan lowered his head and said slowly, "The price of corn in the vegetable market has risen by almost 50 cents per pound. I heard from the boss who sells corn that fewer people are planting corn this year, and the supply will be even less next year... How can corn futures fall?!"
Lin Ziyang smiled and said, "Oh, this name is very friendly!"
Chen Zhiqin said expressionlessly: "Common people, give it a good name or people won't remember it."
Lu Xiaofan looked at Li Wenxi's face and said sincerely: "If Mr. Li wants to do my brother's business, you can cooperate with him. Really... my brother is unreliable..."
Lu Xiaoping asked in disbelief: "Why, why did you team up with Bei Luqing to plot against Li Wenxi? Isn't Li Wenxi one of our biggest customers?"
Lu Tao smiled, picked up the kettle and watered his ginseng tree, and explained good-temperedly: "This is how the market is. Everyone who comes in is a fish. Sometimes the big fish eat the small fish, and sometimes the small fish eat the big fish. Only when someone loses can someone else make money." He turned around and smiled kindly: "Fish are fattened for eating."
If life should be an uncut rough film, let's take a look at the cut parts.
