Just when Xiao Changqian was fantasizing about Ma Lan being his long-term enemy, Mrs. Xiao walked in from outside with a frosty look on her face.
Xiao Changqian hurriedly greeted him and said, "Mom, are you back? How is the company doing?"
Mrs. Xiao had a dark face, snorted angrily, and said: "The bank will soon start the bankruptcy liquidation process. It said that it will start next Monday. Once the process starts, the villa will be sealed. The eight hundred dollars you agreed to Wan, why haven’t you called me yet?!”
Xiao Changqian laughed and said: "Mom, didn't I tell you that the money is in financial management and I am looking for a financial manager to redeem it. You always urge me to do something. Can I still withhold this money from you?"
Although he said that, from Xiao Changqian's heart, he didn't want to give Mrs. Xiao a penny. It's just that Mrs. Xiao still had several million in life insurance after her death, and she had a few more in her own private collection. Millions of jewelry and more than 20 million worth of antiques left behind by the old man.
Xiao Changqian still knows her biological mother very well. Those jewelry and antiques have always been her coffin books, and she has been reluctant to take them out to save the company.
Moreover, no one except her knows where these things are hidden.
Even if banks and courts come and seal the company and villa, they will never find these things.
With the old lady's shrewdness, she must have moved those jewelry and antiques to a safe place long ago.
If he falls out with the old lady and refuses to give the eight million, then the old lady's coffin books may not be left to him in the future.
Therefore, these eight million still have to be spent!
As long as He Lian sells Ye Chen's first-grade Tomson villa, the eight million can be given to the old lady!
Mrs. Xiao didn't know what Xiao Changqian was planning. Seeing that he was still refusing, she said angrily: "Chang Qian, I raised you since you were a child. As soon as you stick your ass out, I know what you're going to do. Don't even think about holding back on giving it to me. Let me tell you, if you don't give me this money, I will move to Chang Kun's house tomorrow. When I die, my life insurance, jewelry, and the antiques left by your father will be mine. I leave all the calligraphy and painting to Chang Kun alone!"
Xiao Changqian quickly comforted him: "Mom, what are you talking about? I promised you this money, and I will definitely give it to you, today at the earliest and tomorrow at the latest, okay?"
Mrs. Xiao sat down on the sofa and said, "Okay, you take the money first!"
Xiao Changqian spread his hands and said: "I don't have it now...but don't worry, I will definitely give it to you tomorrow!"
Before he could finish his words, Mrs. Xiao let out a scream and cried: "You heartless thing, you are always trying to deal with me tomorrow. I have raised you in vain!"
Xiao Changqian quickly stopped him and said, "Mom, stop yelling. I really don't have any money at home, it's all kept with Hongyan! Hongyan will go out to do this for you today. Wait until she Come back and I will give it to you, no later than tomorrow!"
When Mrs. Xiao heard this, she stopped crying and asked, "It's getting dark today, why hasn't Hongyan come back yet?"
Xiao Changqian replied: "She went out to handle money matters and should be back soon..."
With that said, Xiao Changqian took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to Qian Hongyan: "Honey, it's almost time to come back, right?"
As a result, the message was sent and there was no reply for a long time.
Xiao Changqian frowned and said to Mrs. Xiao, "Mom, I'll give Hongyan a call."
After that, he called Qian Hongyan.
The phone was put on speakerphone, and a system reminder came from the speaker: "Sorry, the user you dialed has turned off."
Xiao Changqian said to Mrs. Xiao: "Mom, you heard it too. The phone can't be connected. It's probably because the battery is out..."
"If you can't get through, just keep calling me until you get through!" Mrs. Xiao said angrily: "I'm telling you, don't try to fool me today. Give me your phone and I'll make the call!"
Xiao Changqian sighed helplessly and handed the phone to Mrs. Xiao: "You can call."
