Chapter 140: Chapter 139 Stock Friends Group
Su Luo’s tone was serious, and her gaze intense.
Su Jue had to admit that in some matters, his younger sister was more stable than he was.
But if he told the truth, what face would he have left?
He stared at the band-aid on his body and mumbled a few excuses. The gist was that this slip-up was an accident; he wanted to wait for the perfect moment to sell and hadn’t expected that instead of the perfect moment, what came was a total loss.
Su Luo didn’t believe it.
Even with a mishap, it was impossible to go from making tens of millions before to now losing five million.
“Brother, if you don’t tell the truth, I can’t help you. Just tell me, and I promise I won’t tell Grandpa,” she soothed.
The siblings held great respect for their grandfather and were eager to receive his approval. He was an old man respected and adored by everyone in Wucheng, their pride, and the target of their ambitions.
But Grandpa was strict and demanding, always more scolding than praising towards them, not at all like the indulgent grandparent of rumors; he often favored Lu Mian, valuing Lu Mian more than either of them.
At this moment, the siblings felt a sense of kindred spirit with each other.
Su Jue hesitated for a moment, “Luoluo, we absolutely can’t let Grandpa know about this, he would kill me!”
With Su Luo’s promise, Su Jue thought it over several times and still decided to reveal the matter of the stock investment chat group. Once he began, it became easier to continue, and he talked about all the details, big and small, without holding back, getting it off his chest.
“Luoluo, do you think there’s something fishy about this?”
Su Luo’s expression grew intense, “Absolutely, there’s something fishy!”
She paced back and forth beside the hospital bed, thinking hard.
“After you gave Lu Mian the stock codes, you were kicked out of the stock investment chat group. The twenty million you earned from trading stocks were entirely won by Lu Mian. She even said you didn’t deserve the money. What does this suggest?”
Something flickered in the depths of Su Jue’s eyes.
“It suggests you were reported!” Su Luo frowned deeply, “You said it yourself, the chat group’s entry requirement is for poor people. And Lu Mian, she must be in that group!”
Was Lu Mian poor? Of course, she was poor, tragically so.
Having just been kidnapped, her parents were biased and didn’t love her; she was alone without Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters. But despite being such a poor person, she had the courage to sever ties with her family, and the fortitude to Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters.
In addition to that, she had inquired from Bai Fangfei; Lu Mian did not live on campus, and to this day, no one knew where she resided…
Su Luo became even more convinced of her thoughts.
“Lu Mian must also be in that group! You spoke to her with genuine openness, without any defense, and revealed the codes, and she turned around and reported you. The group owner identified your information, so naturally, they would not allow you to stay in the group. Furthermore, they arranged for Lu Mian to win your twenty million.”
Su Luo analyzed logically.
Su Jue nodded repeatedly, “At first, I was just curious and misused the identity of our housemaid’s son…”
“But you did break the group’s rules; it was your fault,” Su Luo said without siding with her brother but also not despising him. She patted Su Jue’s hand with gravity.
“Brother, what’s done is done, and I won’t disclose it. Your face is my face; we are a family after all. You are still the brother skilled in stock trading, the pride of the family, always have been. Here’s what we’ll do, I’ve saved some money myself; you can use it to repay the three hundred thousand to your classmate first.”
“Investments are inherently about wins and losses…” Su Jue was reluctant to give, and it hurt his pride to have his 17-year-old sister clean up his mess.
“Brother, they’re just ordinary people, not like our family. Consider it a charitable act. We can’t tarnish Grandpa’s reputation, can we?” She smiled, “Three hundred thousand isn’t much, just pocket change.”
Su Jue reluctantly nodded.
“And the matter with Lu Mian…”
