Chapter 577: She Finally Moved Out

As for Lu Qin’s side, it was clear that they would not be homeless. However, Qin Xiaoyue refused to move.

No matter what Qin Xiaoyue did in the past, even when she carried out all those crooked and dishonest deeds, Ye Shuyun had always let it go because that woman was a single mother. She thought that they deserved pity.

However, were they pitiful now? No, not at all. Which part of them deserved pity?

Qin Xiaoyue was going to be an in-law of the Su family soon. In the future, when the Su family became even more powerful, her social standing would be at the same level as Ye Shuyun’s. The Su family’s wealth was enough to rival a country, so naturally, they would gift her a place to stay.

Not only that, currently Lu Qin had more properties under his name compared to Lu Yi. This was mostly because Lu Yi was not into investments, so the only house he owned was the one he was staying in.

Now, Lu Qin was buying house after house, so was there really a need for him to continue staying with them?

It will only bring inconvenience to Su Muran’s future mother-in-law, isn’t?

Thus, when Lu Yi suggested that they mortgaged the house for a loan, Ye Shuyun agreed without hesitation because this might be the only way to make Qin Xiaoyue move out of the house.

She knew that she could not just bluntly demand Qin Xiaoyue to move out. That felt too shameless for her, and the same feeling applied for Lu Jin.

However, if the house was to be seized, even though she would not be able to continue staying in it, Qin Xiaoyue would also be forced to move out. When the house was returned once again, Ye Shuyun decided that they would renovate the entire place. The west side of the house would be left for her grandchildren. As for Qin Xiaoyue, they would have to see if she would be shameless enough to come up with an excuse to move in again.

As for the film that Yan Huan was producing, Ye Shuyun had never thought of the possibility that it would lose money. After all, Yan Huan had given them millions of dollars in aid when they faced financial difficulties. In addition to that, the precious artifacts that Yan Huan had gifted to Lu Jin could also be sold to pay off the mortgage. Of course, Lu Jin was unaware of this, but Ye Shuyun had decided to secretly sell off some of the artifacts since he would not have noticed it if only a couple of them went missing.

When Ye Shuyun and Lu Jin moved to their new place, it did not take much time. Their clothes were everything they needed, and once the door was locked, no one else could enter the house, which was far safer than when they were still in their previous house.

On the other hand, Qin Xiaoyue was reluctant to move. She had been living in that spacious house ever since she gave birth to Lu Qin. She did not need to spend a single penny because her spending was part of the overall expenditure of the family. Now, it was impossible for her to move out willingly, but Ye Shuyun had placed the house under a mortgage. Everything in the house had to be valued and no one could stay in it any longer.

“This is also my house, why should I move out?” Qin Xiaoyue refused to move. She had been living there comfortably, why must she move out?

“This house is under Mr. Lu’s name,” The police officer explained as he raised his eyelids lazily. “Although the house was separated into two from the middle, your part of the house doesn’t actually belong to you, Madam Qin. The house is still valued as a whole. We’re only following the procedure, so please don’t make things difficult for us.”

The police officer’s reply made Qin Xiaoyue feel like she had swallowed a fly, invoking a strong feeling of disgust and nausea. However, she could not retort, as the officer was right. The house was under Lu Jin’s name, not hers, even though the east and the west wings of the house were separated.

Qin Xiaoyue was so furious that she went to Old Master Lu.

“Dad, haven’t you seen what big brother is doing? Why is he mortgaging the house? Isn’t our family’s wealth enough for him to spend?”

Old Master Lu was holding his blue-and-white porcelain vase, his fingers tracing slowly along the body of the vase. His eyes had not even glanced at her once, and it seemed like there was a spark of annoyance in his eyes.

“Who would be displeased to have more money?”

“But he can’t just put the house under a mortgage. Now, the house is seized, and I have no place to stay anymore.” Qin Xiaoyue’s fury was evident even in her voice.

Old Master furrowed his brows. He was extremely displeased with Qin Xiaoyue’s screeching.

“I gave them the house, so it is their choice to do whatever they want with it, be it selling it or putting under a mortgage.”

He had particularly emphasized the term ‘to sell’. His second son had sold his own house, so why can’t his elder son put his own house under a mortgage? He knew what was happening with the Ye family. Now was a time where they were suffering a heavy financial strain. The more his descendants invested in them, the more they could earn, moreover, the house was only mortgaged, not sold, so they could take it back eventually.

As for where Qin Xiaoyue could stay, it was none of his business. Lu Qin had so many of his own properties, he could just set aside one for his own mother to stay. Anyway, none of them would be allowed to stay with Old Master Lu. It was too annoying for him to see them every day.

Qin Xiaoyue was eager to voice more of her opinions, but Old Master Lu cut her off.

“Alright, if you have time for these complaints, why don’t you use them instead to pack your things? That house is now under a mortgage, you can no longer stay there even though you wanted to. Can’t you see that Lu Jin and his family had all moved out?”

Qin Xiaoyue was already furious when she came here to see Old Master Lu, but now her fury was off the charts.

Even though she was angry, she had no choice but to pack her things. Someone had the gall to cut the water and electricity supply to the house, so if she continued to stay here, she could not even use the toilet. When one could not relieve even the most basic of needs, there was no way for her to stay alive.

“How’s the situation? Has she moved?” Ye Shuyun pressed the phone to her ear.

“Yes, she is gone now,” the police officer said to Ye Shuyun.

The house was already out of electricity and water for three days. Even if that parasite had access to food and drinks, she had no place to relieve her bowels.

She could order food delivery and purchase bottled water to drink, but she had no solution if the toilet bowl could not be used. It was impossible to not flush the toilet, and if she insisted on flushing it, how much water would she have to buy to remove all traces and smell after relieving herself?

Exactly, go the farther away the better. Ye Shuyun was smoothing out the creases of her shirt when she had that thought. If she goes far enough this time, it would be hard or even impossible for her to come back again.

She had just hung up her phone when her phone rang again.

She raised the phone to her eyes, noticing that it was Yan Huan who was calling.

Ye Shuyun scooped up Little Bean, which was lying on the sofa into her arms and placed it on her lap. Little Bean was still heavy, and its fur felt perfect and silky to the touch. It was also exuding a natural warmth.

“Mum, it’s me,” Yan Huan greeted as she leaned backward. Now that the financing had been settled, filming would begin soon.

“Oh, Huanhuan! Is everything alright?”

Ye Shuyun knew that Yan Huan was busy, so if she sought her out at this time, it might be to ask for assistance.

“It’s just a tiny matter.” Yan Huan reassured as she placed her right arm lightly on the table to support her chin.

“Mum, are you interested to work with the production crew? You’d be paid fair wages for your contribution.”

“Work? What kind of role can I take on?”

Ye Shuyun was interested, but she knew nothing about making a film.
