Chapter 72: Never Possible
Xiao Hailong felt a buzzing in his head, a surge of jealousy rushing to his forehead.
He hadn’t even touched Dong Ruolin’s hand, yet she was being undressed by a strange man, who was also groping and pressing on her thigh, possibly even touching more private areas!
How could he possibly accept this!
At that moment, Xiao Hailong didn’t care that Dong Ruolin was extremely disappointed in him. Burning with jealousy, he gritted his teeth and said, “I think this guy isn’t trying to save you at all; he’s just trying to take advantage of the situation and assault you!”
As soon as Xiao Hailong finished speaking, all the Xiao family members turned their attention to Dong Ruolin.
Everyone’s thoughts mirrored his.
A beautiful woman, disheveled and lying in front of a strange man, allowing him to touch her—this situation was open to interpretation.
Dong Ruolin was so furious that she swayed, utterly disappointed in Xiao Hailong!
Not only did he run away first, but now he was maliciously speculating about her, and in front of so many people, it was not just unkind and unjust; it was downright shameless!
Dong Ruolin coldly said, “Xiao Hailong, the person who saved me didn’t do anything inappropriate to me; I took off my own pants! It has nothing to do with you!”
As she spoke, Dong Ruolin gritted her teeth and scolded, “It’s you, Xiao Hailong, who caused all this trouble tonight. When the other party came looking for revenge, you ran away so fast, leaving me behind to get stabbed! And now you dare to say such things? Do you even have any shame?”
Xiao Hailong was momentarily speechless, his face flushed red.
Dong Ruolin didn’t even look at him; she immediately got up and left the hospital room, hailing a cab back to her hotel.
The Xiao family members were also stunned; no one had expected the truth of the matter to be like this!
It turned out that Xiao Hailong had caused the trouble and abandoned Dong Ruolin, which led to her getting stabbed…
As soon as Dong Ruolin left, Old Madam Xiao slapped Xiao Hailong across the face in anger.
Xiao Hailong was stunned by the slap, and the old lady scolded, “What have I taught you? To treat Dong Ruolin well! But look at you! You abandoned her to save yourself. How could she possibly like you after such a beastly act?”
“Grandma, I was wrong.” Xiao Hailong covered his stinging face, suddenly realizing his mistake and feeling extremely regretful.
It was only then that he understood that he and Dong Ruolin would never have a chance together!
…
Ye Chen returned home and didn’t tell his wife about what happened that night.
His wife was completely unaware of Dong Ruolin’s ordeal.
After all, the Xiao Churan family had always been excluded by the old lady, so they had no right to stay in the Xiao family villa and naturally had no way of knowing about these matters.
The next day, as soon as Xiao Churan got up, she received a call from the old lady.
The old lady said to her, “Churan, you need to go to Tianhao Building Materials Group today and try to talk to their boss about whether they can extend us a credit of ten million for materials. We’ll pay them back once we receive the funds from Dihao Group.”
Xiao Churan hurriedly replied, “Grandma, Tianhao Building Materials Group is a huge business, and they have a lot of power; they never extend credit.”
The old lady said, “There’s no other way. The Xiao family is currently facing financial issues, and we can’t afford such high costs anymore. Loans are also very difficult to obtain, so we can only find a way with Tianhao Building Materials Group.”
Then the old lady added, “Churan, our family is in turmoil, and your cousin isn’t helping at all. We can only rely on you now. Think of a way to have a good talk with Boss Zhou Tianhao of Tianhao Building Materials Group. As long as he agrees, we’ll have a chance!”
Xiao Churan hesitated for a moment but reluctantly agreed, saying, “Grandma, I’ll give it a try.”
“Good!” Old Madam Xiao sighed in relief and said, “I believe you can do it!”
After hanging up, Xiao Churan felt a bit melancholic.
Ye Chen couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
Xiao Churan briefly explained the situation to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen nodded and said, “Why not tell Dihao Group to advance two million for the project?”
Xiao Churan quickly replied, “That won’t work. We’re already reaching for the stars by cooperating with Dihao Group. If we ask them for an advance, we’ll be looked down upon.”
Ye Chen wanted to say that Dihao Group was owned by her husband, so what was two million? Who would dare to look down on her?
But Xiao Churan didn’t know that.
She said, “How about this, I’ll go talk to President Zhou first.”
Ye Chen said, “Then I’ll go with you.”
“That’s not appropriate,” Xiao Churan replied. “It’s unprofessional to bring your husband to a business meeting.”
As she spoke, Xiao Churan added, “You stay at home. If you’re bored, just go out for a walk; there’s nothing much to do at home anyway.”
Seeing her firm attitude, Ye Chen didn’t say anything more.
He knew his wife was independent and preferred to work hard on her own.
So he decided to let her try. If it didn’t work out, he would secretly step in to help.
…
After breakfast, Xiao Churan drove alone to Tianhao Building Materials Group after making an appointment with Boss Zhou Tianhao.
Tianhao Building Materials Group is one of the largest building materials companies in Jinling and even Jiangnan, specializing in various aluminum alloy materials, and is an essential supplier for large real estate projects.
Zhou Tianhao came from humble beginnings but was fortunate to marry into a powerful family, which helped him develop his business step by step.
However, Zhou Tianhao was known to be henpecked; although his wife was extremely unattractive, he never dared to fool around outside, so he had a good reputation locally as a man who didn’t forget his roots.
Tianhao Building Materials Group is located on the outskirts of the city, occupying thousands of acres of land with a massive factory.
After Xiao Churan arrived at Tianhao Building Materials Group, she went to the office building.
After parking, Zhou Tianhao had already been waiting in the lobby for quite some time.
Seeing her arrive, Zhou Tianhao immediately put on a warm smile, walked up to Xiao Churan, and extended his hand, saying, “Ah, President Xiao, it’s an honor to have you here today. I’m sorry for not welcoming you properly!”
Xiao Churan reached out to shake his hand politely, smiling, “You’re too kind, President Zhou.”
After speaking, she tried to pull her hand back.
But she found that Zhou Tianhao wouldn’t let go and was gripping her hand even tighter.
Xiao Churan had to pull her hand away with some effort, her expression slightly wary as she said, “President Zhou, what are you doing…”
Zhou Tianhao quickly scratched his head and laughed, “Oh, I’m really sorry! I’ve heard that President Xiao is stunning, but seeing you today, I was a bit taken aback and acted rudely. Please forgive me!”
Seeing that he was straightforward enough to apologize, Xiao Churan felt a bit more at ease.
At that moment, Zhou Tianhao hurriedly gestured for her to follow him, smiling, “President Xiao, let’s go to my office and have a chat!”
