Shao Zhenggang pursed his lips, his voice low, "Xiao Xu hasn't had it easy either. She just agreed not to pursue the two million, and yet Big Brother and Third Brother are still talking about borrowing money..."
He regretted it now, wishing he had helped his daughter refuse from the start.
"Second Brother, what do you mean by that? I just said that borrowing money is for her own good. She has no man, no career, and a bad reputation. Is it wrong for me to help her manage her finances?" Shao Zhengchang said shamelessly.
Shao Zhenggang grew increasingly angry. "Xiao Xu's money is not for you to covet! She hasn't had it easy either!"
Shao Zhenggang gave a cold laugh. "Fine, consider me meddling!"
"I don't think Shao Xu has that much money at all. That two-million jade bracelet, she probably colluded with the shopkeeper to fool Third Uncle, making you think she's rich and wants to show off when she comes back!" Shao Jun was no longer holding back, cursing.
Shao Zhengkang also looked a bit self-doubting. "Could it be that she really doesn't have much money..."
Old Madam Shao frowned, thinking hard, unsure of the truth.
"Whether she has money or not, even if she does, she won't help you. Do you think she cares about you uncles and cousins? She doesn't have you in her heart at all."
She snorted, looking at Shao Zhenggang with some displeasure, but knowing she couldn't be too absolute, she added, "Second Brother, Mother isn't talking about you, Mother just feels that Xiao Xu and her family are really impolite. Slamming the table and leaving, as if our family has offended her."
"Mom, stop talking. You know about me and Xiao Xu..."
Shao Zhenggang sighed, his expression also very worried.
Old Madam Shao thought for a moment and said nothing further, instead, she said faintly, "Forget it, let's eat first."
The meal ended unhappily.
Shao Zhengchang and his son Shao Jun returned home, both with dark expressions, very displeased.
"Dad, do you think Shao Xu really has that much money?" Shao Jun thought about it left and right, still feeling that Shao Xu shouldn't have money, and was deliberately showing off to embarrass them.
Shao Zhengchang frowned and thought for a while before saying slowly, "Have someone investigate Shao Xu's recent movements. Didn't she say she was opening a shop recently? See what's going on, and also go back to that jade bracelet store to ask."
"Alright, I'll find some brothers to investigate. If she really has it, we can't let this fat sheep go. Third Uncle and Aunt are already eyeing her." Shao Jun said.
Shao Zhengchang nodded, feeling very worried at this moment that Third Uncle and their youngest aunt would curry favor with Shao Xu first.
Shao Jun added, "Then what about the Ouyar company project we want to take? We're short five million. I've borrowed from my brothers, and they don't have it. Without enough money, we won't even have the qualification to compete."
"I'll think of a way for the money. Let's keep an eye on Shao Xu first. For the Ouyar project, didn't your uncle get acquainted with their new market manager a while ago? Try to get in touch again. We must get this project. It concerns whether our family company can ascend to the ranks of Jiangcheng's mid-tier enterprises."
Shao Zhenggang said in a deep voice, it seemed unlikely to get five million from Shao Xu, so he had to solve the immediate problem first.
Shao Jun nodded and went out to handle it.
On the other side, Su Ding left the Shao family, feeling very unhappy.
She didn't expect these people from the Shao family to be so greedy. She had already let go of the two-million bracelet, and who knew they would set their sights on her money.
Truly shameless, she shouldn't have held any hope.
Just as she was turning a corner, a red Maserati suddenly sped out, and the two cars collided, making a grinding sound.
Su Ding's body lurched forward, and her car stopped steadily.
The red Maserati also stopped, and a man wearing sunglasses got out. He walked over and tapped on Su Ding's car window, shouting, "Hey, how do you drive!"
