Chapter 166: Giving enough face!

Xiao Changqian was startled by Hong Wu.

He didn't doubt Hong Wu’s words at all. For someone who had spent years in the underground world and unified the entire Jin Ling underworld, killing two people was simply too easy.

Seeing that the two burly men were about to drag Xiao Weiwei away, Xiao Changqian felt incredibly anxious and begged Xiao Churan for help: "Churan, please plead for her. She’s your sister after all. How can you watch her be taken away?"

Xiao Churan also couldn't bear it and said to the two burly men: "Don't make things difficult for her. Weiwei was just confused for a moment... she didn't mean to hurt me..."

Although Xiao Churan had some resentment toward Xiao Weiwei, she was still her cousin. How could she really watch her be beaten to death?

Hearing her say this, Hong Wu turned to look at Ye Chen, waiting for Ye Chen to give the order.

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said: "Why are you looking at me? Whatever my wife says, goes..."

Only then did Hong Wu say: "Since Mrs. Ye has spoken, then spare their lives!"

Ye Chen nodded and said to Old Mrs. Xiao: "I said it long ago, you are not welcome here. If you’re sensible, leave on your own. Otherwise, I’ll have Hong Wu’s men throw you out!"

Old Mrs. Xiao was trembling with anger and couldn't even walk steadily, but she didn't dare to stay any longer. She could only leave quickly, supported by Xiao Changqian, fearing she would be beaten.

Xiao Weiwei was still in a state of insanity, shouting: "I’m not leaving! I’m not leaving! I want to choke that bitch Xiao Churan! Let go of me, let me choke her!"

Hong Wu kicked her to the ground with a dark face and cursed: "Keep babbling and I’ll cut your tongue out!"

Seeing his sister was about to cause a huge disaster, Xiao Hailong hurriedly stepped forward to help her up and said: "Sister, let’s go home!"

Old Mrs. Xiao sighed repeatedly. She had wanted to come and mock Xiao Churan today, and incidentally put some pressure on her to induce her to return to the Xiao family. She hadn't expected that the Xiao Churan of today was no longer the same person, with so many big shots supporting her. It seemed the Xiao family could never trick her back again...

When she left, Old Mrs. Xiao felt extremely uncomfortable. If she had known today would come, why act as she did back then? Now that Xiao Churan was unwilling to return to the Xiao family, the Xiao family had lost its last straw. It seemed the only path left was bankruptcy.

After the Xiao family left in disgrace, Xiao Churan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the lively atmosphere at the scene soon made her nervous again.

The people who came were all big shots, but her place was very small, and it wasn't very convenient to entertain them.

Just as she was thinking this, many Yongxing Building staff members ran over with food, drinks, and beverages to help entertain.

After all, it was an Emgrand Group property. With one phone call from Wang Dongxue, these people immediately put down all their work and surrounded Xiao Churan’s studio to help.

Wang Dongxue came to Xiao Churan and said: "Mrs. Ye, Yongxing Building is a property of our Emgrand Group. Since you chose to start your business here, we naturally have to show our support."

As she spoke, she called over a middle-aged man and said: "This is Xu Bo, the manager of Yongxing Building. I have already told him that the offices on this floor will gradually be vacated and left for your company to use."

Xiao Churan hurriedly waved her hand, flattered, and said: "Chairman Wang, you don't have to be so polite. I’m just a studio right now, I don't need such a large space, and the cost of such a large space is too high. I can't afford it..."

Xu Bo hurriedly handed over an 180,000 yuan check and said to Xiao Churan: "Mrs. Ye, this is the one-year office rent you prepaid. From now on, all your rent, utilities, property management fees, air conditioning, and heating fees here will be covered by us!"

Xiao Churan said nervously: "Oh my, how can this be..."

Ye Chen held her hand at this time and said with a smile: "Wife, since Chairman Wang has the heart to help you, why do you have to refuse and reject Chairman Wang’s face?"

Xiao Churan hurriedly said: "I’m not rejecting Chairman Wang’s face, I just feel too embarrassed..."

Ye Chen took the check from Xu Bo and put it in Xiao Churan’s hand, saying: "Since Chairman Wang said it’s free, you should take the money back. The Emgrand Group is a huge group with a market value of hundreds of billions, how could they care about your little bit of rent? Besides, we will cooperate in the future, you can't be so distant."

Ye Chen’s words made Xiao Churan waver.

Indeed, the Emgrand Group was the largest company in Jin Ling. Just one company was comparable in scale to the entire Song family.

If she were to be distant with Wang Dongxue because of this 180,000 rent, it might make Wang Dongxue feel that she was unreasonable.

So she hurriedly nodded and said gratefully: "Chairman Wang, thank you so much!"

Wang Dongxue smiled slightly: "We are partners, helping each other is what we should do."

Xiao Churan nodded hurriedly, then handed the check to Ye Chen and said: "The dress I’m wearing has no pockets, you keep this check for me first."

"Okay!" Ye Chen took the check and put it in his pocket, then said to Xiao Churan: "Let’s go, I’ll take you to greet Ms. Song. Their Song family has several renovation projects recently, you can talk to her more."

Xiao Churan responded, but in her heart, she didn't really want to talk to Song Wanting.

Because she did feel a bit inferior in front of Song Wanting.

More importantly, she always felt that behind Song Wanting’s generous and knowledgeable smile, there seemed to be some kind of hostility hidden.

They say a woman’s intuition is the most accurate. Deep down, Song Wanting was thinking about one day prying Ye Chen, this dragon son-in-law, from the Xiao family to the Song family, so there would be some hidden hostility.

And Xiao Churan had already sensed the hostility that Song Wanting was deeply hiding.

It’s just that she hadn't figured out where this hostility came from yet.

At this time, Xiao Churan checked the time. It was already past ten o'clock, and she didn't know why her parents hadn't arrived yet.

So she quietly instructed Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, Mom and Dad haven't arrived yet. Call them and ask where they are."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Maybe there’s a traffic jam on the road..."

Because he and Xiao Churan had to clean up the office and prepare for the reception, they had gotten up very early to come over. Before leaving, they had agreed with his father-in-law and mother-in-law to come to the company before ten o'clock to participate in the opening ceremony together.

But it had already been more than ten minutes, and he hadn't seen the shadows of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Ye Chen took out his phone and was just about to dial when he heard Xiao Churan’s phone ring.

Xiao Churan saw it was her mother, Ma Lan, calling, so she answered immediately.

As soon as the call connected, Ma Lan’s anxious voice came through: "Churan, we had a car accident on the way here. Your dad is injured and is being resuscitated at the People’s Hospital. Come quickly!"
