Chapter 179

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Xiao couldn't suppress her excitement and said to Xiao Yiqian, "Oh my, Chairman Xiao, your father was truly a good person who knew how to repay kindness! He still remembers things from so many years ago so clearly!"

Xiao Yiqian nodded and sighed, "After all, it was a life-saving grace. My father never forgot it for so many years."

After finishing, Xiao Yiqian took a red high-end jewelry box out of his pocket, handed it to Old Mrs. Xiao, and said, "My father instructed me before he passed away that I must deliver this item to Old Master Xiao's hands. But since Old Master Xiao has also passed away, then I will give it to you!"

Old Mrs. Xiao thought that in order to repay the kindness, he had sent her some rare treasure, so she took it excitedly, opened it, and was immediately dumbfounded.

It was actually a rusty bullet head?!

What the hell is this?

Old Mrs. Xiao looked at Xiao Yiqian with extreme confusion, "Chairman Xiao, this is..."

Xiao Yiqian hurriedly said, "This is the bullet head that the invaders shot into my father's leg back then. Back then, it was Old Master Xiao who dug it out with a small red-hot knife. My grandfather always carried it with him, and before he left, he asked me to give it to Old Master Xiao as a souvenir."

Old Mrs. Xiao was almost cursing in her heart.

What the hell, what kind of trick is this?

My old man saved your father's life, and your father sends a bullet head from decades ago as a souvenir?

Are you guys too stingy? Do you understand what "a drop of water in need shall be returned with a spring" means?

This broken bullet head isn't worth a penny, and it's been inside a human body, which is quite creepy. What the hell is the use of giving me this?! It would be better to give us a million or eight hundred thousand to help us get through this crisis!

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Xiao said with a face full of grief, "I really didn't expect your father to be such a sentimental and righteous person. If he knew that our Xiao family is currently facing a disaster, surely he would definitely extend a helping hand, right?"

Xiao Yiqian's expression froze, thinking to himself, "Are they really poor relatives? They want money before three sentences?"

However, he was here to fulfill his father's wish, so it wasn't good to be too heartless, so he went with the flow and asked, "Old Mrs. Xiao, I don't know what kind of disaster your family is currently facing?"

Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said, "We originally have a company that mainly does renovation projects, called the Xiao Group. It was originally operating very prosperously, but now the capital chain has encountered a small problem, and it is on the verge of bankruptcy. We are currently looking to raise some funds..."

Xiao Yiqian nodded and smiled, "Old Mrs. Xiao looks like a blessed person at first glance. Don't worry, I believe the Xiao family will definitely be able to turn bad luck into good fortune!"

After hearing this, Old Mrs. Xiao really wanted to curse in her heart.

I said all this because I wanted you to have a grateful heart and take out some money to show your sincerity. If you don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face, and if you don't look at the Buddha's face, look at the face of your late father's life, right?

As a result, you just told me I have a blessed face and can turn bad luck into good fortune?

If it weren't for your noble status, I, the old lady, would really want to wedge a stool on your face!

At this time, Xiao Yiqian couldn't help but look at Xiao Weiwei, who seemed to be disheartened, and then smiled and said to Old Mrs. Xiao, "Old lady, you haven't introduced who these others are?"

Old Mrs. Xiao was a shrewd person. With one look, she saw that Xiao Yiqian seemed to have some thoughts about Xiao Weiwei.

Suddenly, she seemed to have found a straw to save her life.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly introduced Xiao Changgan first, saying, "This is my eldest son, Xiao Changgan."

Xiao Yiqian nodded to Xiao Changgan, but his attitude didn't seem to care about him.

The old lady introduced Xiao Hailong again, saying, "Chairman Xiao, this is my grandson, Xiao Hailong."

Xiao Hailong had a fawning look and hurriedly said, "Hello, Chairman Xiao! Please take care of us in the future."

Xiao Yiqian gave a perfunctory hum. Before the old lady introduced Xiao Weiwei, his eyes had already run to Xiao Weiwei.

At this time, Old Mrs. Xiao smiled inscrutably before introducing Xiao Weiwei, saying, "Chairman Xiao, this is my granddaughter, Xiao Weiwei."

Xiao Yiqian was immediately relieved.

This was his first time coming to the Xiao family, and he was worried about whether Xiao Weiwei was Xiao Hailong's wife. If that were the case, he wouldn't have much of a chance to make a move.

But hearing that she was also a member of the Xiao family, Xiao Yiqian's heart immediately became active.

Although Xiao Weiwei couldn't be considered a top-tier beauty, she could definitely be considered upper-middle or even first-class. Otherwise, the Wang family's Wang Yunfei wouldn't have taken a fancy to her.

It's just a pity that Xiao Weiwei had always been suppressed by Xiao Churan, a top-tier super beauty, so whether in the Xiao family or in Jin Ling, she couldn't really stand out.

But now that Xiao Churan wasn't here, and Xiao Weiwei had just cried, her eyes and nose were red, which really made men feel that desire to care for and protect her in their hearts.

Old Mrs. Xiao saw that Xiao Yiqian had improper intentions toward Xiao Weiwei, so she hurriedly said, "Chairman Xiao, Weiwei is 24 this year and doesn't have a boyfriend yet. If you have any suitable young talents around you, you can introduce them to Weiwei."

She didn't really want Xiao Yiqian to introduce a partner to Xiao Weiwei; she was just telling Xiao Yiqian in a roundabout way that my granddaughter is single now, and if you want to, you have a chance!

Xiao Yiqian was indeed tempted.

He was old, and his wife was old, and he had long lost interest in her.

Moreover, he came to Jin Ling this time, and his wife happened not to be by his side, so he could play as he pleased. If he could take this opportunity to have some fun with Xiao Weiwei, it would indeed be a wonderful thing in the world.

Thinking of this, he took the initiative to reach out to Xiao Weiwei, smiled, and said, "Miss Weiwei is so beautiful, why don't you have a boyfriend yet?"

It would have been better if he hadn't said this. As soon as he said this, Xiao Weiwei's eyes turned red, and two more lines of tears flowed out.

She was heartbroken to death.

The Xiao family was no longer doing well, and all her beautiful expectations had turned into bubbles. Wang Yunfei now looked at her as if he were looking at a plague god, avoiding her. Let alone marrying into the Wang family, even if she asked him for a breakup hookup, he probably wouldn't even look at her.

She was so miserable, but her cousin Xiao Churan was like a fish in water. So many big shots went to celebrate her opening, really having face and having a grand display. Comparing the two, how could she not be angry, annoyed, and desperate in her heart?

As soon as Xiao Yiqian saw Xiao Weiwei crying, a bit of heartache surged up, and he hurriedly said, "Oh my, what's wrong with Miss Weiwei? Why are you crying?"

Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly said, "Our family's company has encountered some problems. Weiwei has deep feelings for the company and feels uncomfortable in her heart. For the past two days, she has been begging me to find a way to save the company. But I, this old lady, am already half-buried in the yellow soil, what can I use to save the company? So there's no way, I can only watch my precious granddaughter feel sad and shed tears..."

Xiao Yiqian immediately didn't even think about it and said to Xiao Weiwei, "Miss Weiwei, if you have any needs, you can tell me! I, Xiao, still have some ability, maybe I can help you?"
