Chapter 230 - Collateral

Chapter 230 Collateral

After the Construction Bank loaned her 5 million yuan, she only needed to borrow 1 million yuan from the remaining three banks. With her remaining assets, securing the loans would have been a little difficult, but with Supervisor Jin’s glib tongue, the Agricultural and Huaxia banks all approved Tang Wenyi’s applications.

In the end, the Industrial and Commercial Bank was the most difficult to handle.

“It’s not that our side is strict, but with such a big sum of money suddenly gone, the leaders will definitely notice. At that time, they will casually investigate and know that the process did not meet our standards. I’m afraid I will lose my position then. I can’t take such a big risk to approve the loan for you. I hope the two of you can understand.”

The same concerns, but this person was clearly much harder to convince than Supervisor Jin. His words implied that he wanted to chase them away, which gradually drove Tang Wenyi’s temper to the breaking point.

Lu Yaohua rubbed his temples tiredly and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “We don’t lack this 1 million yuan. Why don’t we forget about it? These machines are enough to sustain us for a while. We’ll buy new ones after we earn some money. We already have nothing to put up as collateral.”

“Who said we have nothing?”

Tang Wenyi slowly turned around and met his gaze. She said, “Isn’t it just 1 million yuan? I don’t believe that I can’t get a loan today! Don’t you have a small apartment near the city center? Do you really think I’m blind? Previously, I couldn’t be bothered to argue with you, but now I want to use it to save my precious son!”

There was madness in her eyes.

Obviously, in order to save Lu Ze, she had lost her mind!

Lu Yaohua widened his eyes in disbelief and said, “I’m the owner of that apartment! As long as I’m unwilling, you can forget about using it as collateral! Tang Wenyi, don’t you think you’ve gone too far?! Do you still have me in your heart? We can have another son without him. I…”

“My son is my everything!”

Tang Wenyi interrupted him impatiently and said, “Lu Yaohua, I was really blind to have married you! You have nothing to be proud of! What have I taken a fancy to? And you have a child with your ex-wife. Just the thought of it makes me sick!”

Previously, when the two of them were in their honeymoon phase, this matter could not stop her from liking him, but she was tired of him now. So even those trivial matters would be used as an excuse to attack Lu Yaohua! Now she could not wait to get as far away from him as possible!

At the thought of this, she took out a deed from her pocket. On it was Lu Yaohua’s name. She said, “You took the living expenses I gave you and secretly bought a small apartment to have something to fall back on. In the end, I was the one who paid for this apartment! What’s wrong with using it as collateral?” Lu Yaohua said angrily, “You’re the Third Miss of the Tang family. Even if something happens to you outside, the Tang family will be your eternal retreat! But what about me? I’m just an ordinary person! I’m different from you! Just like how you wanted to take Lu Ze back but never thought of taking me with you! Every man for himself, utter selfishness!”

The manager, who was sitting opposite him, broke out in cold sweat. What did I hear? Is this something I’m supposed to hear? Fortunately, this couple has already forgotten about me in their quarreling. So he carefully picked up the tea and took a few sips before calming down.

However, the next second, Tang Wenyi looked straight at him and asked, “This deed should be enough for you to give us a loan, right?”

“Just a little more. If you add another item as collateral, I can approve it for you.”

The manager took out a tissue and wiped his sweat. He said, “Why don’t you go back and see if there’s anything more expensive? A branded bag or something.”

Unfortunately, Tang Wenyi had sold the branded bags that she bought not long ago for living expenses.

Right on the heels of that, she took out a red box without hesitation and pressed a button to reveal a diamond ring inside. She said, “Although broken diamonds are not worth much, this should be worth 100 thousand yuan. Is this enough?”

There was a sharp intake of breath in the air. Lu Yaohua’s heart turned cold. His wife had actually used the wedding gift he had given her as collateral! Wasn’t this telling him that their relationship over the years had been a joke! His hands trembled slightly.

“Must you come this far?”

Tang Wenyi glanced at him calmly and said, “You should have known. After I’ve tried to divorce you without any scruples, everything I do after that makes sense. Lu Yaohua, it’s over.”

It was over.

These words lingered in his mind for a long time.

He lay dispiritedly on the back of the sofa. He had thought that if this dragged on, Tang Wenyi might change her mind about leaving him. In the end, things were getting worse.

They…

How did it come to this?

They had been so loving before. It was as if this was all a fleeting dream.

The manager said at this inopportune moment, “That’s enough. I’ll approve your loan now. I hope you can pool enough money within the specified time. Otherwise, we’ll take mandatory measures next. This is also one of our jobs. Please understand.”
