Chapter 180: A wishful thinking

Xiao Yiqian suddenly saying he could help made Old Mrs. Xiao overjoyed.

However, Xiao Weiwei couldn't feel happy at all.

Her focus wasn't on the Xiao Group at all.

In fact, she didn't even care about the life or death of the Xiao Group.

She just wanted to complete her life's counterattack, marry a wealthy young master, become a rich wife that everyone envied, and reach the pinnacle of life.

In that case, the Xiao Group was just her maiden family's industry; what did it have to do with her?

What made her saddest now was Wang Yunfei's ruthlessness toward her and the confusion about her future.

As for how the Xiao Group was doing, she didn't care.

Seeing her indifferent, Old Mrs. Xiao hurriedly pushed her and said, "Weiwei, what are you still stunned for? Hurry up and thank Chairman Xiao!"

Xiao Weiwei was stunned and looked up, "Thank him for what?"

Old Mrs. Xiao said angrily, "Of course, thank Chairman Xiao for being willing to help the Xiao Group! Are you stupid?"

Xiao Weiwei blurted out, "What I care about is Brother Yunfei and my lifelong event, not some Xiao Group!"

"You bastard!" Old Mrs. Xiao was furious and raised her hand to slap Xiao Weiwei.

At this moment, Old Mrs. Xiao cursed in her heart: *I'm worried to death about the future of the Xiao Group, and you're still thinking about that dog bastard Wang Yunfei? It really infuriates me! Why don't you know how to help me share my worries at all?! You're really a loser!*

Xiao Weiwei was suddenly slapped. She looked at the old lady in a daze, then cried loudly, "Are you sick? Why are you hitting me?! What does the Xiao Group have to do with me? I don't even work at the Xiao Group! If you have the ability to hit me, why don't you go hit that bitch Xiao Churan!"

Old Mrs. Xiao was dumbfounded!

She never dreamed that Xiao Weiwei would dare to defy her!

Just as she was about to roar in anger, Xiao Weiwei turned her head and ran out.

This...

Old Mrs. Xiao was extremely embarrassed and blurted out to Xiao Changqian, "Go chase her back!"

"Okay..." Xiao Changqian nodded awkwardly, "I'll go chase her now."

Old Mrs. Xiao said to Xiao Yiqian in front of her with a face full of guilt, "Chairman Xiao, I'm really sorry, I let you see a joke."

Xiao Yiqian was also a bit embarrassed. He laughed and asked, "I see Miss Weiwei seems to have been stimulated by something. What exactly is going on?"

"Sigh." Old Mrs. Xiao sighed and said, "Don't mention it. It's all because our Xiao family is unfortunate to have recruited a despicable and shameless live-in son-in-law."

Subsequently, the old lady poured out everything about how Ye Chen instigated Xiao Churan to leave the Xiao family, leading the Xiao family into a predicament, and even leading the Wang family to break off the engagement with Xiao Weiwei.

However, the old lady couldn't say it like that.

In the version told by the old lady, all the faults lay with the four members of the unfilial son Xiao Changkun's family. It was they who betrayed the family, betrayed the bloodline, and even forced the old lady to kneel and beg.

Hearing this, Xiao Yiqian felt somewhat indignant and sighed, "To have such unfilial descendants, it's really too much!"

Old Mrs. Xiao wiped her tears, looked at Xiao Yiqian, and pleaded, "Chairman Xiao, you are the chairman of the Qiancheng Group. If you can help us, our Xiao family will definitely be able to make a comeback..."

"Oh..." Xiao Yiqian gave an awkward smile and said, "Well, to be honest, investment is a very cautious matter. I first need to know the specific situation of the Xiao family's company to see if it has investment value, how much to invest, and how long it will take to recover the cost. Only then can I make a decision to invest or not..."

Old Mrs. Xiao knew very well that the Xiao Group was a mess now. If one really looked at the specific situation, no one would invest.

How to invest? Investing tens of millions in the Xiao Group was useless. After the Emgrand Group stopped cooperating with the Xiao Group, everyone didn't really care for the Xiao Group.

And the Xiao Group itself did renovation projects. This kind of business required others to give them work. If everyone didn't give them work, they could only be idle.

So, normally, no one would invest in the Xiao Group, unless it was a fool with money to burn.

Xiao Yiqian looked extremely shrewd and would never be willing to help for nothing. Only with sufficient returns would it be possible for him to take out money.

Old Mrs. Xiao pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Yiqian, "Chairman Xiao, how about this? You just arrived in Jin Ling. We are from the same family, and your father and my husband also had a connection. We should get to know each other more and have more contact. Why don't you stay at our house for a few days? What do you think?"

Xiao Yiqian's heart stirred, and he hurriedly asked, "Well, as an outsider, is it convenient for me to stay at your house? After all, Miss Weiwei is still unmarried..."

In fact, an old fox like Xiao Yiqian knew his motives very well, so his speech was also very technical.

If he asked directly if Xiao Weiwei lived here, it would immediately reveal his ulterior motives.

If he changed the way and asked if his staying here would affect Xiao Weiwei, that was very technical.

If the old lady said, "Don't worry, Weiwei doesn't live here, it won't have any effect," then he would directly decline.

If the old lady said, "Don't worry, we are all family, it won't have any effect on Weiwei," then it proved that Xiao Weiwei also lived here, and he would just follow the flow and agree.

Old Mrs. Xiao was also a sharp person; how could she not know Xiao Yiqian's motives?

The reason she invited him to stay for a few days was to persuade Xiao Weiwei to find an opportunity to get closer to Xiao Yiqian.

Her wishful thinking was very good, because in that way, she would definitely be able to make Xiao Yiqian invest in the Xiao family.

Xiao Yiqian was, after all, the chairman of a listed group. If he invested in the Xiao family, not only would it solve the money problem, but it would also bring a strong enough background to the Xiao family. By then, the Xiao family would be able to come back to life and create brilliance again!

So, she smiled and said, "Chairman Xiao, rest assured. Weiwei is actually a very sensible girl. She must also welcome you to stay at our house. Besides, although our house is a bit old, it is a detached villa after all. If you stay here, outsiders won't know."

Xiao Yiqian immediately felt relieved and nodded, "Then I will respectfully obey! It just so happens that I have some business to discuss in Jin Ling these few days, and I can take the opportunity to learn more about your side before considering whether to invest in your matter."

"Good!" Old Mrs. Xiao laughed excitedly, "That's really great. I'll have someone go tidy up the guest room."

As she spoke, Old Mrs. Xiao lowered her voice and said, "Chairman Xiao, to tell you the truth, your guest room is right across from Weiwei's room. If you have any needs, you can find her."

Xiao Yiqian was extremely excited.

Good!

This old lady was really on the right track!

Although he had money and didn't lack women, if he messed around outside, it would be easy for his wife to find out.

However, staying at the Xiao family, if he could get together with Xiao Weiwei, he definitely wouldn't have to worry about his wife finding out.

After all, in her eyes, this was his own family, and he was here to fulfill his father's last wish, so she definitely wouldn't suspect anything!

This was definitely an excellent choice for cheating!
