Chapter 238: Xie Qingyi has been tricked.
"Auntie, who are you trying to take down?"
Xie Chaoxiang walked in with a cocky air, and said with disdain over the mess on the floor, "Hey, how did you break this bowl?"
Looking up at Yan Lan standing to the side, he mocked, "My sister-in-law is getting less and less efficient at her work. Is it because my brother-in-law has another woman outside?"
Yan Lan's face turned ugly, and she muttered to herself, "What is Xie Chaoxiang, this spendthrift, doing here?"
Xie Qingyi said to Yan Lan in an annoyed tone, "Hurry up and tidy this place up, what kind of impression will this make?"
"Yes, Mom, I'll get ready right away."
Yan Lan quickly cleaned up the mess on the ground and then left.
"Chaoxiang, what are you doing here?"
Xie Qingyi's attitude towards Xie Chaoxiang was clearly different.
Xie Chaoxiang sat down next to Xie Qingyi and said ingratiatingly, "Auntie, I've come here today to tell you some really great news."
Xie Qingyi frowned and said with disdain, "What great good thing could you possibly have done? Haven't you just gotten me into trouble again?"
"Auntie, look at what you're saying. You've even sent people to keep an eye on me and prevent me from going to the casino. I've been behaving very well lately."
"What brings you here today? Don't tell me you just came to visit your aunt."
"Of course I came to see my aunt. In this world, my aunt is my only relative. I've been closest to my aunt since I was little, and I miss you the most."
Yan Lan looked at Xie Chaoxiang with disdain in her eyes. This spendthrift was all talk and no action, and Xie Qingyi doted on him. What could she do? He was her only nephew from her maternal family.
Xie Qingyi pretended to be stern and said, "Stop it, just say it, what is it?"
“Aunt, I’ve come to bring you some good news today. When I was discussing business today, I happened to run into Gu Xunjing trying to curry favor with a foreigner. I heard that the foreigner has a huge project that can generate billions in profit from an investment of one billion, and he’s already secured it with Gu Xuanwu. Gu Xuanwu had Gu Xunjing entertain him, which shows how much he values it. I also looked into it, and the project is indeed feasible, and the other party is very powerful.”
"What's it to you?"
“Auntie, that person just fainted due to low blood sugar. I saved him. To express his gratitude, he wants me to participate in this project, but I don’t have that much funding.”
"What do you mean? You want me to give you 10 billion? Impossible."
When money was mentioned, Xie Qingyi's smile vanished.
She wouldn't give that billion to her two sons even if they wanted it, let alone her spendthrift nephew. Money is always safest in your own pocket, of course.
Unwilling to give up after being rejected, Xie Chaoxiang continued to pester him.
"Auntie, let's invest 1 billion and make 10 billion in profit. You get 60% and I get 40%, okay? Or how about you get 70% and I get 30%? Is that alright?"
Xie Chaoxiang persisted in his insistence, determined to get his aunt to hand over the money.
“Aunt, you used to say I was incompetent, but now I will definitely not let you down. Once we make a profit of 10 billion, our Xie family will be able to regain its former glory.”
The prospect of making 100 billion in profit tempted Xie Qingyi, but he remained skeptical.
"Is the news reliable?"
“It’s very reliable. I overheard Gu Xunjing talking to that person and found out that he was working on a project with Gu Xuanwu, a big project with a 10x return.”
"Besides, it was because I saved that person that he gave me this opportunity. If I had gotten there first, Gu Xuanwu would have been furious. He'd worked so hard to make those connections, and I'd snatched it away. If this project succeeds, Aunt, you'll get 70 billion, and I'll have 30 billion. You won't need to have anyone watching me anymore. Even if I gamble, I couldn't spend all 30 billion. I'll never trouble Aunt again."
A hundred billion is indeed very tempting, and Xie Qingyi is very interested. In addition, her nephew is persistent in pursuing her, so Xie Qingyi is somewhat tempted, but she is still worried.
"An investment of one billion is still too much. What if we lose money?"
“Auntie won’t lose it. This is a project that Gu Xuanwu is optimistic about. Aren’t you sure? We’re now snatching Gu Xuanwu’s project away.”
Gu Xuanwu's investment acumen is widely recognized; if he sets his sights on a project, there generally won't be any problems.
"Auntie, this is a business opportunity that can be worth ten times more. If you miss it, you'll never have another chance."
"An investment of one billion is still too much."
Hsieh Ching-yi was very tempted, but she remained very cautious.
“Aunt, if you think the skill is too great, how about we invest 5 million? After all, I am his savior.”
Xie Qingyi was still very conflicted about investing 500 million.
Xie Chaoxiang did not persist in his pursuit, but instead took another step back and said...
"If Auntie thinks 500 million is still too much, how about investing 100 million to try it out? You can make a profit of 1 billion. That would be great, we can't miss such a good opportunity."
Thinking that it was a project that Gu Xuanwu had taken a liking to, Xie Qingyi gritted her teeth and said.
"Okay, one hundred million it is, let's give it a try."
Xie Qingyi transferred 1 million to Xie Chaoxiang, and Xie Chaoxiang clearly saw the password Xie Qingyi entered.
"Okay, thank you, Auntie. I'll take 700 million back to give to you as a token of my respect."
……
The next day at the Jiang family
"Hye-yong, Sui-sui, are we ready to go?"
The Jiang family is going to attend a charity gala. Jiang Zhengguo asks Yang Huirong and Jiang Qianhui if they are ready.
Yang Huirong straightened Jiang Qianhui's dress and said with a proud look, "My daughter is so beautiful, and she looks even more radiant in this evening gown."
Yang Huirong looked at Jiang Qianhui with eyes full of affection; her daughter was so beautiful.
Her noble temperament is different from the affected elegance of female celebrities on TV.
That was an innate, natural nobility.
Her daughter is a shining jewel wherever she goes.
Just as the family was about to leave, a group of uninvited guests suddenly walked in aggressively, with an old lady leading the way.
"Where are you all going, dressed so conspicuously?"
The old lady's face was full of disdain and disgust. She was Jiang Qianhui's grandmother and Yang Huirong's mother-in-law.
Yang Huirong's expression changed as soon as she saw the old lady. Jiang Zhengguo quickly went up to her and said, "Mom, sister-in-law, what brings you here?"
The old woman said coldly, "Your family's scandals have already spread back to our hometown. I had to come and see for myself."
The old lady slammed her cane on the ground, instantly making the atmosphere heavy.
Years ago, the old lady and Yang Huirong had a falling out because of Jiang Che and Jiang Zhengguo's ex-girlfriend. The old lady angrily went back to her hometown, intending to threaten Jiang Zhengguo.
But Jiang Zhengguo stood firm and refused to listen to the old lady. The old lady went back to the old house and got angry and refused to come back. Over the years, he only went back to see the old lady during holidays. Today, the old lady did come.
"Shameful things? Mom, I don't understand what you mean."
