Li Chenxuan was hesitant at first, but when he saw everyone was looking at him with a hint of worry, he regained his confidence. They are his family, and if he doesn’t pay back the money, his third brother can’t possibly send him to jail. So after considering the pros and cons, Li Chenxuan said, "Okay. I will write down the IOU."
"Good. We should invite our uncles as witnesses so that no one can escape responsibility." Li Chenmo nodded.
When Father Li and Li Chenze heard his words, they finally breathed a sigh of relief. As his uncles testified, it was impossible for Li Chenxuan to pretend to be ignorant and refuse to pay back the money.
"Third brother, is it necessary? It’s so late and it’s not good to disturb the uncles." Li Chenxuan said with a frown.
"Either invite the uncles to be witnesses, or the deal is off the table. It’s your choice." Li Chenmo said lightly.
Li Chenxuan glared at him and said, "Since you insist, then I will go invite our uncles as you wish." frёeωebɳovel.com
After speaking, he rushed out to invite the uncles. After Li Chenxuan left, Father Li looked at Li Chenmo and asked, "Third son, do you really want to lend your money to your second brother?"
"Father, don’t worry. I will lend him food instead of money." Li Chenmo said with a smile.
He didn’t believe in his second brother’s character. If he lent him money, Li Chenxuan might use the money to buy things for the woman he has an affair with. So, it’s better to lend him some food instead.
Father Li believed in his third son’s judgment and nodded. While waiting for Li Chenxuan to come back, Lu Jueyu leaned on her husband’s shoulder, feeling a little sleepy. Seeing her like this, Zhang Dongmei’s eyes flickered and she stared at Lu Jueyu’s belly for a while. She picked up the teacup to hide her complicated eyes and took a sip of tea.
Almost an hour later, Li Chenxuan came back with his uncles. Father Li stood up and said, "Eldest brother, second brother, I’m sorry to bother you so late."
"Third brother, it’s okay. As your brothers, this is what we should do." The eldest uncle said and sat down next to Father Li.
The second uncle sat on the other side and said nothing, but looked at his nephews, especially Li Chenxuan, with a hint of displeasure.
Zhang Dongmei stood up and poured a cup of hot tea for the two of them before returning to her seat. After they took a sip of tea, Li Chenmo said, "Eldest uncle, Second Uncle, I’m sorry to invite you two at this time. I need to trouble you two to become a witness."
