Lao Lu snatched the phone and quickly scanned the terms and signatures on the contract. When he saw the name "Zhang Chen," his pupils suddenly constricted.
Zhang Chen is his daughter's husband.
Rage burned fiercely in Lao Lu's heart as he trembled while dialing Zhang Chen's number, gritting his teeth as he said, "Zhang Chen, get over here! I'm waiting for you at Jiajia's place!"
After hanging up abruptly, Lao Lu slammed the phone down onto the sofa.
Chen Rong was startled by Lao Lu's sudden outburst of anger and cautiously asked, "Mr. Lu, what... what is going on? Is this house really your daughter's?"
Lao Lu took a deep breath, trying to calm his emotions, and slowly replied, "Jiajia is my daughter. She passed away three years ago due to an accident. This house was bought with her savings before she got married, and her name is the only one on the property deed."
"That..." Chen Rong was instantly at a loss for words. He never expected that the house he purchased would be involved in such a family dispute.
Lao Lu ignored Chen Rong's reaction, slowly rising to walk to the window. He gazed out at the bustling street below, his eyes filled with sorrow and anger.
His wife gently approached him, took his hand, and softly comforted him, "Lao Lu, don't worry. We will get to the bottom of this and seek justice for Jiajia."
Lao Lu turned to look at his wife's tear-streaked face, feeling even more pained. He gently embraced her and said in a low voice, "My poor daughter..."
In the evening, Zhang Chen hurriedly arrived at Lu Jiajia's residence.
"Dad, Mom, what happened? Why did you call me over so urgently?" Zhang Chen asked while changing his shoes, a hint of impatience in his tone.
"You still have the nerve to ask!" Lao Lu suddenly stood up, pointing angrily at Zhang Chen's nose and shouted, "Why did you sell Jiajia's house?!"
Zhang Chen was taken aback, his eyes flickering as he stammered, "Dad, what... what are you talking about? How could Jiajia's house be sold?"
"Don't play dumb with me!" Lao Lu threw the insurance contract in front of Zhang Chen. "Take a look for yourself, what is this!"
Zhang Chen picked up the contract, pretended to flip through it, and then feigned surprise as he said, "This... isn't this Jiajia's insurance contract? How could it be with you?"
"Don't try to mislead me!" Lao Lu pointed at the beneficiary section of the contract and shouted, "Look at whose name is written here!"
Following Lao Lu's finger, Zhang Chen saw that the beneficiary section clearly stated "Zhang Chen."
His expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and explained, "Dad, you misunderstood. Jiajia was worried that if something happened to her, I would be left alone, so she put my name as the beneficiary. It was all for my sake. How could you..."
"Enough!" Lao Lu interrupted Zhang Chen. Shaking with anger, he pointed at Zhang Chen and said furiously, "Zhang Chen, I never expected you to be this kind of person! Jiajia's body is not even cold yet, and you're already eyeing her property. Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?!"
"Dad, you really misunderstood me. My love for Jiajia is as clear as day; how could I..." Zhang Chen tried to explain again but was cut off by Lao Lu's fury.
"Enough! I don't want to hear your excuses anymore!" Lao Lu took a deep breath, suppressing his anger as he spoke each word clearly. "Zhang Chen, I'm giving you one last chance to return every penny you took from Jiajia! Otherwise, even if it costs me my life, I will take you to court!"
As soon as Lao Lu finished speaking, Chen Rong also stepped forward. Gathering his courage, he said, "Mr. Zhang, I... I didn't know this house belonged to your daughter. If you want to hold someone accountable, I can... I can return the house..."
Zhang Chen's face turned pale. He glanced at the furious Lao Lu and then at the timid Chen Rong, realizing that this matter could not be resolved easily today. He took a deep breath and forced a smile as he said, "Dad, Mr. Chen, please don't get too worked up. Let's discuss this matter slowly; there will definitely be a proper solution..."
Looking at Zhang Chen's hypocritical smile, Lao Lu's anger surged even more. He pushed Zhang Chen aside and turned to his wife, saying, "Let's go! There's nothing to say to this scum!"
After saying that, Lao Lu grabbed his wife's hand and left Lu Jiajia's place without looking back.
Once the Lao couple left, the smile on Zhang Chen's face instantly vanished. He shot a fierce glare at Chen Rong before turning around and slamming the door behind him.
