Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 1481: Chapter 1481: Bankrupt CEO (27)

”Mr. Pei, do you remember anything?”

Wen Hongyi turned his gaze to the other person involved.

”I...” Pei Zhimo glanced towards Chuzheng, quickly shook his head, ”I don’t remember.”

What he just said had already been told to Wen Hongyi.

He didn’t know what was going on either.

”Suisui, don’t worry, Dad will definitely get to the bottom of this.” Wen Hongyi assured An Sui.

What could An Sui say at this point?

She had no evidence to prove that it was Chuzheng who harmed her...

So An Sui covered her face and ran upstairs crying.

”Uncle, I will take responsibility...”

Pei Zhimo firmly assured Wen Hongyi, but Wen Hongyi waved him off, signaling him to leave.

After Pei Zhimo left, Wen Hongyi looked at Chuzheng and warned, ”Wen Chuzheng, you’d better pray I don’t find out you did this.”

”Won’t happen.” Rest assured, I let you find out.

Wen Hongyi assumed Chuzheng was denying her involvement: ”Better not be.”

Wen Hongyi waved his sleeves and went upstairs to check on An Sui.

Chuzheng actually couldn’t tell how upset An Sui was; she was probably angry because this incident was supposed to involve Chuzheng, but she ended up as the main character.

An Sui is quite an extraordinary person.

-

The incident between An Sui and Pei Zhimo at the club was seen by quite a few people that morning. Although there were no explicit photos, the more people talked, the worse An Sui’s reputation sounded.

And Pei Zhimo was even more direct; he brought his parents over the very next day.

Wen Hongyi knew about the rumors outside. With so many people knowing about this, how would An Sui face anyone in the future? How would the Wen Family face anyone?

So during this meeting, though Wen Hongyi was dissatisfied, he continued the meeting for An Sui’s sake.

Pei Zhimo’s parents suggested they could get engaged right away, and the wedding could wait until after graduation.

Pei Zhimo was very willing, but An Sui was not so keen.

”I don’t want to...”

”Suisui, you can get engaged to Pei Zhimo first, you’re not getting married yet. If you truly don’t like him later, once this blows over, we can call off the engagement.”

”But...”

”People are speaking so badly of you now. If you don’t get engaged to Pei Zhimo, what will people in the circle think of you? Only by getting engaged to Pei Zhimo will this matter quiet down.”

An Sui was unwilling deep down.

She did have a relationship with Pei Zhimo, but An Sui didn’t care that much. Yet, after seeing the chat records others sent her, which were terribly unpleasant, An Sui was still somewhat scared internally.

Eventually, under Wen Hongyi’s persuasion, An Sui got engaged to Pei Zhimo.

Pei Zhimo was overjoyed and hovered around An Sui all the time, but An Sui was not enthusiastic and always gave him the cold shoulder.

Chuzheng felt the role model scarf in her chest was getting brighter, striving every day to be a good person.

-

”Hey, kiddo.”

As Chuzheng was coming downstairs, Jinn Xiu called out to her.

”Here.”

Chuzheng looked at the card Jinn Xiu handed over and didn’t take it.

The Good Person Card actually gave me a card, is he crazy? I don’t lack cards... Well, I do, but not bank cards.

”What’s this?”

”Repaying your money.” Jinn Xiu said, ”Made a small fortune, can pay you back a bit for now.”

This was all he had beside the company.

”...” Chuzheng glanced around, ”Have your external debts been paid off?”

”No.” There are so many debts, it can’t be that quick.

”You settle your debts first.” Chuzheng patted his shoulder, ”Mine is not urgent.”

Chuzheng refused Jinn Xiu’s repayment, so Jinn Xiu had no choice but to put away the card.

”What do you want for dinner tonight?”

Chuzheng opened her lips slightly, silently mouthing a word.

Jinn Xiu lightly tapped her head with the card, ”You’re too young to always think about such things. Name a dish and I’ll cook for you.”

Chuzheng casually named two dishes.

Jinn Xiu grabbed his coat, ”I’m going to buy groceries, don’t run around.”

Sometimes he’d be out for a short while, and the person would be gone, disappearing for either days or even half a month.

Texts weren’t responded to, calls were answered but ended after just a few words.

Jinn Xiu felt that the second point he mentioned was simply a waste of breath.

She didn’t need to call him for anything; she could handle it all herself. His role seemed only to manifest in...

Jinn Xiu quickly stopped himself; thinking any further would risk getting into trouble.

”Oh.”

The girl responded as she turned to sit on the couch.

While Jinn Xiu was changing his shoes, he asked her, ”Do you want anything else? I’ll bring it back for you.”

”No.”

Jinn Xiu had just opened the door when he came face to face with Madam Liu Hanshan, who was about to use the fingerprint scanner to open the door.

Jinn Xiu: ”...”

Liu Hanshan: ”...”

The two of them looked at each other silently, and Jinn Xiu was the first to respond, ”Aunt Liu...”

Liu Hanshan nodded, showing no emotion, polite and graceful, ”Is my dear Chuzheng home?”

”Yes.” Jinn Xiu stepped aside, ”Chuzheng, Auntie is here.”

The person inside asked impatiently, ”Which auntie?? Didn’t I say she doesn’t need to come over?!”

”...”

Jinn Xiu couldn’t very well say ’your mom’, could he?

”You go on, don’t worry about me.” When Jinn Xiu hesitated, Liu Hanshan smiled, ”I can go in myself.”

Jinn Xiu was relieved and quickly left.

No business negotiation had ever been this nerve-wracking.

Liu Hanshan entered by herself, and when Chuzheng saw her, there was a momentary stiffness in her eyes. It’s over, my card has been found out!!

Madam Liu Hanshan put her bag down, ”Chuzheng, you’ve got some nerve.”

”Not really.” Chuzheng sat properly, very modest.

Madam Liu Hanshan stood with her hands on her hips, pointing at the door, ”Jinn Xiu, he’s staying here?”

”Uh-huh.”

”How long has he been staying here?”

”Since he went bankrupt.”

Bank... bankrupt?

Hasn’t that been almost half a year!?

Liu Hanshan’s brow twitched, ”How far have you two progressed?”

Chuzheng: ”We’ve done everything we should, and even some things we shouldn’t.”

”...”

Madam Liu Hanshan held her forehead, anxiously pacing back and forth.

She’s been so busy that she hadn’t had time to come over, but she actually conspired with the auntie to deceive her!!

Last time, she thought Chuzheng and Jinn Xiu hadn’t been together for long, but now she tells her they’ve been together for nearly half a year?

Since the last incident, Liu Hanshan had inquired about Jinn Xiu’s current situation. She knew he was starting a new venture and had a fairly positive view of him.

This man, who had managed Wanyuan Group at such a young age, evidently had exceptional skills,

She had seen him at events before, but the man at those times was entirely different from the one she encountered just now.

The Jinn Xiu she met a moment ago felt like a young man with a hint of a domestic vibe, polite and easy-going, lacking any sharp edge.

But she remembered the powerful CEO Jinn she had once encountered... it was hard to reconcile the difference between the two.

Madam Liu Hanshan became increasingly concerned.

”Honey, you haven’t been deceived by him, have you?”

Chuzheng: ”??”

Deceive me about what!

Even if the Good Person Card deceives me, there’s nothing I can do about it!

In the end, isn’t he still the Good Person Card!!
