Chapter 501 Don’t even think about borrowing money
Ling Qiongqing had just finished her meal. Seeing Ling Xiyuan across from her also put down her bowl and chopsticks, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Second sister, is Shuang'er married?"
Ling's mother glanced at her daughter sideways, and seeing that she didn't react, she said "hmm".
Suddenly, everyone in the Shen family was stunned.
"Second sister, why didn't you tell us?"
Ling Qiongqing instantly felt unhappy. She felt that Ling Xiyuan looked down on their Shen family and even more so on her.
Such a big thing didn't even tell them.
Although their Ling family is not a small family, it is not even one-tenth as powerful as the Helan family. Ever since Ling Xiyuan married Helan Xunzheng, the Ling family has had a strong backer.
Almost everyone came to curry favor with her.
At the same time, some people would try to curry favor with Ling Xiyuan because she was her elder sister, but these were just because they were taking advantage of her second elder sister.
Obviously, she is no worse than her second elder sister, but she married someone who is not as good as her second elder sister.
In fact, she has always been jealous of Ling Xiyuan.
Ling Xiyuan could naturally hear the displeasure and complaints in her words.
She was about to open her mouth to explain, but Ella beside her spoke before her.
She raised her eyes, looked at Ling Qiongqing opposite her, and said, "Aunt, what you said is true. My mother didn't tell you because she didn't know either. She only found out recently. Besides, my mother has been recuperating in the hospital recently. How could she have the mind to tell you these insignificant things? Besides, my mother didn't just hide it from you, Aunt. She also didn't tell my grandparents and uncle."
The implication is: What do you have to complain about here?
Ling Qiongqing: "..."
Ella continued, "Whether I get married or not is my own business. I can say what I want to say, and I don't have to say it if I don't want to. Auntie, you shouldn't be so controlling, right?"
Sometimes, she would not restrain herself just because the other person was her elder.
What's more, Ling Qingqiong didn't deserve her to be so nice to her, so she didn't bother to pretend.
Besides, she also has a temper, and Ling Qiongqing is not the only one who speaks in a sarcastic tone.
This is her home, not Ling Qiongqing's home!
Ling Qiongqing felt extremely embarrassed when she heard this.
Everyone could feel Helan Lingshuang's unhappiness.
Ling Qiongqing smiled awkwardly and said, "Kid, your aunt was just joking, don't take it so seriously. We were just curious, so we asked."
Ella was too lazy to pay attention to her. After finishing the cake, she left the table.
“…”
Ling Xiyuan tried to smooth things over, "Little sister, brother-in-law, don't mind me. Shuang'er is just a straightforward person. She means no harm."
Although she sometimes doesn't like listening to her sister, they are family after all, and sometimes there is no need to make the relationship too stiff.
And it’s not a big deal, so there’s no need to worry about it.
Ling Xiyuan had given her a way out, so Ling Qiongqing naturally wouldn't be ungrateful.
"Second sister, we naturally won't bother with Shuang'er. Shuang'er grew up under my care, so I know exactly what kind of person she is."
After leaving the dining table, Ella did not go back to her room directly, but sat in the living room and played with her mobile phone.
She knew that her aunt would definitely ask her parents for help soon.
However, she also knew that her parents would definitely feel embarrassed to refuse, after all, they value family affection more.
But she is different. There are some things they dare not say, but she dares to say them.
After a while, several people came over.
When Shen Manni saw her, she wanted to ask her what had just happened, but just as she was about to open her mouth, she was held down by Ling Qiongqing.
Ling Qiongqing warned her with her eyes not to talk nonsense.
They came here tonight with more important things to do.
After a few words of greeting, Father Shen gave Ling Qiongqing a look and asked her to get down to business.
Ling Qiongqing understood and cleared her throat before looking at the Helan couple. "Well, Second Sister, Second Brother-in-law, I'd like to ask you for help with something. Is that okay?"
After hearing her words, Ella paused for a moment, her finger on the phone curled up slightly, and a sneer appeared in her eyes.
She just knew it.
Ling Xiyuan and He Lanxun looked at each other.
She said, "Little sister, if you have something to say, just tell us. It will help us..."
However, before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ella, "Aunt, if it's about money, then we can forget about it."
Everyone present was stunned.
The Helan couple looked at her at the same time, but they both tacitly understood not to speak.
The Shen couple were also a little embarrassed.
Ling Qiongqing smiled and said, "Shuang'er, what you said is true. My aunt is not that kind of person."
"Oh, really?" Ella looked at her and smiled faintly, "Then what does Auntie want us to help you with?"
She had just received a message from Meng Ye that Shen's funding chain had been cut off recently, and many goods could not be delivered on time.
If the goods cannot be delivered on time, Shen will have to pay a large sum of money.
The only one the Shen family can ask for help at the moment is the Helan family.
Before this, the Helan family had helped the Shen family a lot.
Moreover, the Shen family also gained a lot of benefits because of her mother's relationship. Many partners were willing to cooperate with the Shen family simply for the sake of the Helan family's face.
The food has been fed to their mouths, but it is their own fault for not living up to their expectations and managing the business well. Who can they blame?
Now that something has happened, he still wants the Helan family to clean up the mess for him. What a wishful thinking!
Father Shen put his fist to his mouth, coughed lightly, and said: "Shuangshuang, it's like this. Due to recent market conditions, Shen's capital chain has been in trouble, and there have been delays at the factory. Many goods cannot be delivered on time, so..."
"So, does my uncle want us to invest in HL? Or does he want us to tell those partners to postpone the payment?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Father Shen wanted to speak, but Ella said again: “But whether it is the former or the latter, I think it is unlikely, right?”
By saying this, she was refusing to help them.
Upon hearing this, Shen Donghai and Ling Qiongqing's expressions suddenly changed.
Shen Donghai winked at Ling Qiongqing again.
"Shuangshuang, your uncle-in-law is really at his wit's end, so he came to your parents for help. Please help us for your aunt's sake." Ling Qiongqing said, "Besides, we are all family. Isn't it normal to help each other?"
Ella laughed when she heard her words.
Her aunt is really thick-skinned, and she really admires her.
How dare she say such things?
When she smiled like this, the Shen couple felt even more embarrassed and didn't understand what she meant.
"Aunt, if I remember correctly, the Helan family has helped your Shen Corporation many times, right? You can't just come to us every time something goes wrong. The Helan family's company is not a charity. You lose money and expect us to clean up your mess? That's unreasonable, isn't it? Over the years, the Shen Corporation has taken away countless partners from HL. I don't need to count them one by one. You all know it in your hearts, and that's enough for you to make a lot of money. You originally had a good hand, but you turned it into a bad hand. Who can you blame? If it were someone else, they would have taken their company public over the years, but you are still losing money. If you had the capital to do a business that loses money, I would have nothing to say, but if you don't, shouldn't you reflect on whether you are cut out for business?"
