Chapter 10: Bowing and Admitting Mistakes
With that loud shout, everyone was stunned.
Then, everyone hurriedly took out their phones to find the official WeChat account of the Dihao Group!
Sure enough!
The official service account of the Dihao Group had published a post!
“Dihao Group’s 2 billion hotel project signs its first partner; Group Vice Chairman Wang Dongxue signs a 60 million renovation contract with Xiao Churan, representative of the Jinling Xiao Group!”
Seeing this headline, everyone went crazy!
Xiao Churan actually secured the project! And the amount doubled!
It had only been a little over half an hour!
How could it be so easy?!
This was completely illogical!
Xiao Hailong was shocked and regretted deeply!
Before today, Xiao Churan’s status and identity were incomparable to his own.
If he had accepted this task yesterday, regardless of whether he succeeded or not, he would not have given Xiao Churan a chance to shine!
Yet he had actually refused out of fear of failure!
It was one thing for him to refuse, but the key was that Xiao Churan had actually succeeded!
This was simply a slap in the face!
Old Lady Xiao immediately excitedly picked up the contract, read it carefully, and laughed out loud: “Good! Good! Good! Churan, you have really done a great job!”
After saying that, she asked, “How did you manage to do it?”
Xiao Churan replied, “Thanks to Vice Chairman Wang Dongxue, she has a very favorable view of our Xiao family.”
In fact, Xiao Churan wanted to tell the truth, but upon reflection, she realized she didn’t even know who the chairman of the Dihao Group was, and saying it might not get any response.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Hailong felt even worse!
Damn it, no wonder Xiao Churan could secure the contract!
It turned out that Wang Dongxue from the Dihao Group had a good impression of the Xiao family!
So anyone could have done it, right?
Damn!
He had truly missed a golden opportunity!
At this moment, Ye Chen spoke up: “Hailong, do you remember our bet?”
Xiao Hailong’s expression suddenly turned as ugly as if he had eaten something terrible.
How could he forget the bet? The loser had to bow three times in public.
Xiao Churan had obtained the contract, which clearly meant he was the loser…
Damn it!
No way!
How could he bow to this loser!
Absolutely not!
So he immediately gritted his teeth and said, “Ye Chen, what the hell are you? Just a freeloader who married into our family and eats soft rice every day, and you want me to kneel and bow to you?”
Ye Chen replied calmly, “I am indeed a freeloader, but we swore yesterday that if anyone goes back on their word, their dead father, dead mother, dead grandfather, and dead grandmother will be cursed!”
Ye Chen deliberately emphasized the words “dead grandmother.”
Sure enough!
Old Lady Xiao’s expression immediately turned extremely ugly!
She stared at Xiao Hailong and coldly questioned him, “What? Do you want me to die?”
Xiao Hailong panicked and blurted out, “Grandma, you can’t fall for Ye Chen’s trick! He wants to make you lose face and make me lose face!”
Ye Chen then said lightly, “Hailong, don’t try to fool Grandma here. Don’t forget you swore an oath. If you go back on it, you will face divine retribution. Do you want to curse Grandma?”
Xiao Hailong was horrified and exclaimed, “Grandma, this is just a joke, it can’t be taken seriously!”
Old Lady Xiao’s face was cold as she said, “You know I believe in Buddhism. You dare to go back on your oath to heaven?!”
“Grandma…”
Xiao Hailong was truly panicking because he could see that Grandma was really angry!
Seeing that Xiao Hailong was willing to violate the oath that was tied to their lives for his own face, Old Lady Xiao slammed the table and shouted, “Are you determined to go back on your oath?”
“Grandma, I…” Xiao Hailong stammered, immediately calculating in his mind.
If he followed the bet and bowed to Ye Chen to admit his mistake, he would lose face.
But if he didn’t follow the bet and angered Grandma, he would lose everything in the Xiao family!
Thinking of this, even though he was extremely unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and say, “Alright! I accept the bet and will take the loss!”
Ye Chen looked at him with a smile, saying nothing, just waiting for him to kneel and bow.
Xiao Hailong felt as if his legs were filled with lead, and he slowly moved in front of Ye Chen with great difficulty.
He was shaking with anger, gritting his teeth tightly, but his legs gave way, and he knelt on the ground.
With a thud!
Some onlookers even quietly took out their phones.
Xiao Hailong lowered his head, his voice trembling as he said, “I was wrong!”
After saying that, he bent down and knocked his head on the ground.
Ye Chen said, “What did you say? I didn’t hear clearly, speak louder.”
Xiao Hailong endured the humiliation and knocked his head again: “I was wrong!”
Ye Chen sneered, “Oh, so you admit you were wrong? Where did you go wrong?”
Xiao Hailong felt like he wanted to kill Ye Chen, but he still had one last bow to do.
So he gritted his teeth and said, “I was wrong to doubt Churan’s ability…”
After saying that, he knocked his head again!
Ye Chen felt extremely pleased!
He had long been unable to tolerate Xiao Hailong, and this time he seized the opportunity to make him kneel and admit his mistake; it felt really good!
Xiao Churan looked at all this in surprise, feeling that her husband suddenly seemed different from before!
She couldn’t quite pinpoint what was different.
However, recalling how confident her husband had been when betting with Xiao Hailong yesterday, it seemed he had anticipated his victory all along?
Why did he have such strong confidence?
