Chapter 174: Large-scale bitter meat scheme

~7 min read 1,367 words

Ye Chen’s brow furrowed.

He wasn't a member of the Xiao family and didn't have that so-called family bond, so he could see at a glance that Old Mrs. Xiao was using a bitter meat scheme.

The Xiao family was now in a desperate situation. If they didn't get relief, the Xiao Group would inevitably fall apart, and the old lady would instantly hit rock bottom.

A person like her loved face all her life and would rather die than accept that she was poor and down and out, so she would definitely rack her brains to find a way to turn the tables.

She had coerced and lured Xiao Churan before, but Xiao Churan hadn't given her any chance.

She also used money to try to find a breakthrough from Ma Lan, but Ma Lan couldn't convince Xiao Churan.

Now, she started aiming at Xiao Changkun, preparing to use a bitter meat scheme to find a breakthrough from Xiao Changkun!

This might also be her last move.

Xiao Changkun had already fallen for it.

He felt the knot in his heart untie, and deep in his heart, the respect and love for his mother emerged again.

So, he said with tears: "Mom, I don't actually blame you in my heart. I know I’m not promising myself. I’m not as capable as my brother, nor as strong as my brother. I’m not a person who can be of great use by nature. I let you down, I’m sorry..."

Old Mrs. Xiao grabbed his hand, holding it tightly while choking: "Good son, you can understand Mom’s painstaking efforts. Even if Mom dies now, it’s worth it!"

Xiao Changqian, who was standing to the side, hurriedly stepped forward and sobbed: "Mom, don't always hang death on your lips. Changkun and I have already lost Dad, no matter what, we can't lose Mom!"

Old Mrs. Xiao wiped her tears while saying with relief: "You two brothers have me in your hearts, even if I die, I will die with a smile!"

As she spoke, she said again: "You two, you must be of one heart! Only when brothers are of one heart can you be invincible! As the old saying goes: when brothers are of one heart, their sharpness can cut through metal! If you two can tie together and do well, why should the Xiao family not be prosperous?!"

Xiao Changqian nodded repeatedly: "Mom, you’re right, I’ve been taught! From now on, I will definitely work together with Changkun to make the Xiao family bigger and stronger!"

Xiao Changkun’s expression was also a bit excited, looking like he was hooked.

Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The old lady really has good means! In just a few sentences, she had already led his father-in-law into the ditch!

Sure enough!

Xiao Changkun was also instigated by her and his brother, and he was moved and said: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely work together with my brother!"

As soon as Old Mrs. Xiao heard this, she became excited and blurted out: "Good! Good! That’s great!"

At this time, the old lady said to Xiao Hailong and Xiao Weiwei, who had been keeping their heads down and not speaking: "You two, hurry up and apologize to Churan and Ye Chen! Although you are not biological siblings with Churan, you are cousins. Everyone is blood-related, how can you always be so excessive to Churan and Ye Chen?"

As she spoke, the old lady looked at Xiao Weiwei and shouted: "Weiwei! Especially you! Today at the opening ceremony, you even wanted to move your hands against your cousin? Did you eat a bear’s heart and leopard’s gallbladder?! Hurry up and apologize to your sister!"

The two siblings bowed deeply immediately, saying with incomparable piety: "Churan, it was our fault before! Please forgive us! From now on, we will never do anything against you again!"

Xiao Churan was also caught off guard. She had never seen Xiao Hailong and Xiao Weiwei soften and apologize. These two siblings had been thorns for so many years and had been fighting against her.

However, seeing that both of them apologized, Xiao Churan said kindly: "Forget about the past..."

Old Mrs. Xiao was overjoyed and immediately said to Xiao Churan: "Churan, your dad’s body is still in the recovery stage, so he must be well-rested. Although the Xiao family villa is a bit old, the environment is much better than the residential building you live in. Why don't you all move back?"

Xiao Changqian also hurriedly echoed: "That’s right, Churan, your father’s health is important. Not only does he need a good environment, but he also needs a good mood! So, listen to your grandmother’s arrangement and move back. I will hire a few nannies to take care of your father twenty-four hours a day!"

Xiao Changkun was lying on the hospital bed, and when he heard this, he was moved.

Moved, his heart wavered, and his brain was hot, so he couldn't help but ask Xiao Churan: "Churan, why don't we move back..."

Xiao Churan was also a bit conflicted for a while.

She couldn't figure out for a while whether her grandmother was out of true feelings or fake intentions.

But seeing her grandmother, father, and uncle, the mother and son crying together, she was also a bit moved.

Moreover, for the sake of her father’s recovery, if they could return to the Xiao family, the environment would be good, the mood would be good, and the care would be appropriate, then he would definitely recover faster and better.

Ma Lan also persuaded from the side at this time: "Churan, what a good opportunity! What are you still stunned for? Hurry up and agree!"

Xiao Churan was originally a bit hesitant, but seeing her parents were persuading her, she was impulsive for a while and said: "Then okay, let’s move back..."

Old Mrs. Xiao’s expression was overjoyed, and she was incredibly excited in her heart.

Success!

Hahaha!

It really succeeded!

Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy. Xiao Changkun is a loser, Ma Lan is a money-grubber, Ye Chen is a loser who only knows how to lie, and Xiao Churan seems to have some ability, but isn't she completely handled by her own bitter meat scheme?

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Xiao was so proud!

Xiao Changqian couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up to the old lady. His admiration for his mother was like a surging river. Mom is indeed an old hand in the world. This play can be called textbook level. First, use the younger brother Xiao Changkun as a breakthrough, and then curve to save the country and move Xiao Churan. It’s simply perfect!

Ye Chen saw his wife was about to be fooled, so he hurriedly said: "Grandma, Uncle, it’s naturally no problem for Churan to move back. After all, we are all family, and it’s a beautiful thing to be lively together, but..."

Xiao Hailong frowned and shouted coldly: "But what? Our Xiao family’s business, does it have anything to do with a loser like you? Do you need to talk too much?!"

Old Mrs. Xiao raised her hand and slapped Xiao Hailong, shouting: "How are you talking to your brother-in-law?! Are your words just now farts?!"

This slap made Xiao Hailong stunned, and he immediately understood.

Damn! Almost caused a huge disaster because he couldn't help but want to mock Ye Chen!

If he really couldn't control himself, mocked Ye Chen, and revealed his superficial repentance but inner refusal to change, then the perfect plan for Grandma to use a bitter meat scheme to trick Xiao Churan’s family back might be exposed!

Thinking of this, he was panicked and immediately said to Ye Chen: "I’m sorry, brother-in-law, my mouth is cheap! My mouth is cheap! Please forgive me!"

As he spoke, he slapped himself twice, looking incredibly sincere.

Ye Chen couldn't help but sneer in his heart. Good, the Xiao family really went all out to perform this bitter drama...

Ye Chen could not help but sneer inwardly. Very well, the Xiao family has truly gone all out to perform this tragic drama...
