Chapter 406

The farce ended, and neither Xiao Changkun nor Ma Lan gained any benefit.

Ma Lan wanted money, but in the end, she didn't get a single cent, which made her chest ache with depression for a day.

On the way back, Xiao Changkun wanted to turn on the radio again to continue listening to his favorite novel, but as soon as it started playing for less than five seconds, the car radio was rudely turned off by Ma Lan.

Ma Lan, who was already very irritable, roared directly, "Xiao Changkun, I warn you not to make any sound, lest you make me feel annoyed!"

Xiao Changkun said coldly, "What? Does me listening to a novel bother you? Do you need to be nagging here?"

Ma Lan reached out from the back seat and slapped Xiao Changkun on the head, cursing, "You say I'm nagging? Have you grown capable?"

Xiao Changkun hurriedly dodged and said angrily, "If you don't want to listen, don't listen. Can you stop using your hands and feet?"

After saying that, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, looking sullen.

Ma Lan didn't pay attention to him anymore, looking out the window alone, still angry at Xiao Changkun about the money.

The family of four returned home from the villa, and everyone began to pack their own things.

Xiao Churan didn't forget to call Dong Ruolin to tell her about moving tomorrow, letting her prepare tomorrow, check out of the hotel, and move in to live together.

Upon hearing this news, Dong Ruolin was so happy she danced.

Ever since she started liking Ye Chen, she had always wanted to find more opportunities to spend time with him, but she was busy with work usually and had to consider Xiao Churan, so she never had any opportunities.

If she could live with Xiao Churan and Ye Chen, the opportunities would naturally be much more.

So she agreed almost without thinking.

While Ye Chen's family was busy packing, the Xiao family was in chaos.

Ever since selling the furniture and returning from Tang Chen Yi Pin, Xiao Changgan had become more dissatisfied with his mother.

Old Mrs. Xiao's desire to live in Xiao Changkun's big villa deeply stung Xiao Changgan.

It made him realize that the old lady wasn't really favoring him.

She had always favored him before because she was considering her own interests. Once Xiao Changkun's side was better for her, she would abandon him and favor Xiao Changkun.

So, as soon as he got home, he told Old Mrs. Xiao to transfer the 1.21 million from selling the furniture to him.

He felt that the old lady might abandon him at any time, so he had to make plans early. At least he had to get some money in his hands, right?

Otherwise, if the old lady defected, who could he rely on?

His son Xiao Hailong was a loser. In the past, when the Xiao family had no problems, it was okay to let him be a rich second generation who just ate and waited to die. Now that the Xiao family was failing, it was impossible to rely on him to be motivated or earn money.

His daughter Xiao Weiwei was a canary who didn't do any work and couldn't even cook well. And in today's Jin Ling, who didn't know about Xiao Weiwei's messy affairs? It was hard to find a decent family to marry into, so she couldn't be relied on either.

So he said to Old Mrs. Xiao, "Mom, you are the legal representative of the Xiao Group and also the person in charge. If you keep the money here, it will easily be frozen by the bank!"

Old Mrs. Xiao didn't think so. She said lightly, "The money from selling the furniture is meant to be used to repay the bank."

Unless it was a last resort, Old Mrs. Xiao didn't want the Xiao Group to go bankrupt and be liquidated, because once the Xiao Group went bankrupt, she would be finished.

She was the legal representative of the Xiao Group. If she had money but didn't repay the bank, not only would the bank seal her house, but they would also sue her and catch her as a deadbeat debtor.

If that happened, she would be the one suffering, and she would be the one going to jail.

So, she insisted on repaying the bank's minimum payment first, and also planned to plead with the bank's account manager to allow them to extend the time for a while.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Changgan exploded and blurted out, "Mom, the family is almost unable to open the pot. We finally got over a million, and you're giving it all back to the bank. What are we going to eat and drink?"

Old Mrs. Xiao snorted, "If I don't repay the money, I'll be thrown into prison! Don't forget I'm the company's legal representative and have to be responsible for the company's debts!"

Xiao Changgan hurriedly said, "Then at least take out one or two hundred thousand so we can catch our breath! The life I'm living now, I can't even bear to smoke cigarettes that cost fifty yuan a pack!"

"Still smoking?" Old Mrs. Xiao said sternly, "It's good enough to have food to eat; you're still thinking about smoking?"

Xiao Changgan was holding back fire, but sighed on the outside, "Mom, I'm old, so I can endure it, but Hailong and Weiwei are still young! They haven't suffered much, so we can't wrong them!"

Old Mrs. Xiao snorted, "I don't care about that. The more it gets to this time, the more we need to tighten our belts and get through the difficulties together!"

As soon as this was said, Xiao Hailong and Xiao Weiwei were immediately dissatisfied.

They were spoiled and couldn't suffer. Ever since Qian Hongyan ran away with the money, their lives had been very bitter during this time.

However, Old Mrs. Xiao had money now but didn't open the granary to distribute food; instead, she wanted everyone to tighten their belts. Wasn't this killing them?

Immediately, Xiao Hailong said first, "Grandma, it's easy for you to say. You're old, you eat less and drink less, so tightening your belt is naturally no problem for you. But how can my sister and I do that? We can't suffer this kind of bitterness. I haven't been eating or drinking well these past few days, and I've lost several jin in weight!"

"Yes, Grandma!" Xiao Weiwei also said unpleasantly, "The cosmetics I used before were all thousands or tens of thousands of yuan. Now I can only use the most ordinary L'Oreal. Seeing that this L'Oreal is almost used up and I have no money to buy more, Grandma, do you still want me to use a few yuan of Dabao SOD honey?"

After finishing, she immediately acted shamelessly, "I don't care, Grandma, you must give me twenty thousand yuan today. I'm going to buy a set of La Mer to use, otherwise, my face will be completely ruined!"

Old Mrs. Xiao snorted, "Poor show-off! Still La Mer? Is Dabao SOD honey not good enough for you? Useless thing, you couldn't even hold onto Xiao Yiqian. If you had been able to hold onto Xiao Yiqian back then, would our family be in this state today?"

Xiao Weiwei was instantly anxious and blurted out, "What does this have to do with me? It was Xiao Yiqian who was made impotent by Ye Chen. Before he became impotent, I kept him well-pleased. Don't forget he gave me five million and gave the Xiao family over ten million!"

"So what?" Old Mrs. Xiao said coldly, "Didn't he still leave? If you really had that ability, even if he became impotent, he would have stayed. In the end, it's still you who are incompetent!"

Xiao Changgan was already holding back fire, but hearing the old lady say that about his daughter Xiao Weiwei, he couldn't take it and blurted out, "Mom, Weiwei's affair with Xiao Yiqian was also following your instructions. How can you kick us while we're down and burn the bridge after crossing the river at this time?"

Old Mrs. Xiao snorted, "I burned the bridge after crossing the river? Did I cross the river? It was clearly that the bridge was gone before we even crossed halfway, causing me to fall into the water and almost drown!"

Xiao Changgan said angrily, "Mom, anyway, I have one thing to say: the money can't all be repaid to the bank. No matter what, you have to take out two hundred thousand to improve our lives. Otherwise, you should take out those antiques Dad left behind and sell them for some money to save the day. Otherwise, if you keep those things hidden, you won't be able to take them with you in the future!"

"You're cursing me to die?!" Old Mrs. Xiao was instantly furious and said coldly, "Do you three want to rebel?"

Old Mrs. Xiao's voice changed, sharp and scary.

She never expected that Xiao Changgan, who had always been flattering and obedient to her, would actually dare to climb on her nose and face, and actually dare to speak harshly to her!

At this moment, she also deeply realized that her eldest son, grandson, and granddaughter were not really following her wholeheartedly.

They were just three parasites clinging to her, thinking about opening their mouths to suck nutrients from her body every moment!

The more this was the case, the more she had to hold onto the money and things, and she must never let the three of them succeed!
