"Ouch, that hurts! My bones must be broken!"
The living room was filled with Li Xuemei's wailing.
Su Xi turned her head and saw Zhou Jingming appear behind her with a cigarette in his mouth.
He was the one who kicked out just now.
How can he be so handsome!
"Jingming, you've come at the perfect time."
Upon seeing Zhou Jingming, Su Jianguo abandoned his previous indifferent demeanor and bowed as he approached him.
The Zhou family is the most prominent family in Kyoto, and countless people try to curry favor with them.
He is now the Zhou family's father-in-law, which is equivalent to clinging to a money tree.
The Su family is in crisis this time, and although the Zhou family has also been affected, the Zhou family will not suffer much loss given its strength.
The Su family is a different story.
In recent years, Su Jianguo has been too eager for quick success and made reckless investments, losing a lot of money and squandering most of his family fortune.
The company is currently facing considerable difficulties.
If the Zhou family is willing to lend a helping hand, the Su family will definitely be able to overcome this crisis.
Ignoring Su Jianguo, Zhou Jingming strode towards Su Xi and took her hand in front of everyone, saying, "I'm late."
Su Xi tickled his palm with her fingers, smiling brightly, "It's not late, the timing is just right."
Ignored, Su Jianguo spoke again, "Jingming, we're practically family now. With Xi'er causing such a huge mess, the Su family business is in grave danger. Look..."
"Who's family with you?" Zhou Jingming's casual expression vanished, replaced by a cold gaze.
Su Jianguo shuddered violently.
Regarding Su Xi's marriage to Zhou Jingming.
Not only did outsiders have a negative view of the project, but even he, as the father, didn't take it seriously.
He had always thought that Zhou Jingming was a womanizer and that his relationship with Su Xi was just a fling.
Zhou Jingming got tired of her and naturally dumped Su Xi.
But when he met Zhou Jingming's sharp eyes, he seemed to see a different emotion.
Perhaps he's mistaken.
Is Zhou Jingming, that bastard, really serious?
Su Jianguo is a cunning old fox. After years of playing the game in the business world, he has developed a shrewd and cunning demeanor.
He immediately sided with whichever side the situation shifted in, saying, "You've already registered your marriage with Xi'er, so you're our Su family's son-in-law, and nominally we're family."
Oh.
He was ruthless in severing ties with her back then.
Now they're really keen on building connections.
Su Xi sighed, "President Su, have you forgotten that when you kicked me out, you severed all ties with me as father and daughter?"
Su Jianguo wished he could slap himself a few times.
Li Xuemei was ruthless back then, why did he blindly join in?
He forced a smile and apologized, "I was confused back then, don't hold it against me. We're father and daughter, even if we're broken, our bones are still connected."
"President Su probably doesn't know me. I'm the kind of person who holds a grudge."
Su Xi wasn't buying it.
Wasn't he quite arrogant just now?
Zhou Jingming came and became a tortoise.
They're quite adaptable.
"If you come back to the Su family, Dad will definitely make it up to you." Su Yaoguo said all sorts of nice things.
Others might not be able to tell, but he's an expert.
Whether it's playful or serious, he's not so old and blind that he can't tell.
"Sure!" Su Xi readily agreed this time without even thinking.
Just as Su Yaoguo was about to say something, Su Xi said loudly, "Let's see President Su's sincerity first."
Su Jianguo cursed inwardly, "This stubborn, despicable woman."
Does he expect his father to kneel down and beg her?
Su Jianguo was anxious about the company's affairs, and after thinking it over, he could only try to appease Su Xi first. "How about this, after the Su family gets through this difficult time, you and Jingming will get married, and I will give you a dowry."
"Okay, let's make it three hundred million then."
Su Xi opened his mouth and quoted a price.
Su Jianguo's face darkened.
Li Xuemei, lying on the ground, screamed, "Su Xi, why don't you go rob a bank?"
Su Xi looked at Zhou Jingming innocently and said coquettishly, "Honey, is three hundred million a lot?"
Zhou Jingming chuckled, "The Zhou family is offering a dowry of one billion."
Um!
It's not expensive, Zhou Jingming.
Arrogant!
Su Xizhen was captivated by him; if there hadn't been so many people around, she would have definitely rewarded him handsomely.
Su Jianguo was initially unwilling, but his eyes lit up when he heard that Zhou Jingming wanted to offer a dowry of 1 billion yuan.
Three hundred million was exchanged for one billion.
He made a profit.
"Alright, as Xi'er said, the dowry is 300 million." As long as Su Xi is appeased, how much money he wants is just a matter of a word.
Su Jianguo had made up his mind: from today onwards, he would cling to Su Xi as his cash cow.
Su Rou was so angry that her face turned green.
Li Xuemei had said she would give the Su family's assets to her.
What will Su Xi do if it's given to her as part of her dowry?
Just as Su Rou was about to cling to Li Xuemei and act coquettishly, Li Xuemei preemptively comforted her, "Your father is only appeasing the Zhou family for the sake of the bigger picture. Don't take it seriously. In the future, the entire Su family business will be yours, and no one can take it from you."
Su Rou was extremely pleased with herself.
She knew that Li Xuemei loved her the most.
If Su Xi wants to gain benefits from the Su family, Li Xuemei will definitely be the first to disagree.
Su Xi knows the Su family too well; they'll say nice things, but then turn around and deny everything.
"Words are no proof, Ms. Su, you should get a written agreement." Su Xi's eyes returned to their coldness. The Su family has been sucking her blood for so many years, it's not unreasonable for her to ask for some interest.
Su Jianguo was unwilling.
Having a written agreement is equivalent to leaving evidence, so you can't renege on it later.
In that moment of hesitation, the phone rang.
Su Jianguo swiped to answer the call, and when he heard what the person on the other end said, he almost fainted.
"What did you say? The stock price has hit rock bottom?"
"Since President Zhou is unwilling, let's find another way." Su Xi was too lazy to waste words and pulled Zhou Jingming to leave.
"etc."
Su Jianguo called out to the two of them, bowed his head in compromise, and said, "Okay, I agree."
The agreement was divided into two parts, and both parties signed and affixed their fingerprints to it.
After finishing, Su Jianguo held the agreement and looked at Zhou Jingming with a smile, "Then I'll wait for your good news, Young Master Zhou."
"What good news?" Zhou Jingming raised an eyebrow.
Su Jianguo reminded them, "It's about helping the Su family get through this difficult time."
That scoundrel is such a good actor, he put on such a convincing act, "Did I promise that?"
Su Jianguo said anxiously, "It was Xi'er who promised, I made a mistake."
"President Su, I don't think I promised you anything. You were the one who said you wanted me to come back to the Su family and that you wanted to make it up to me. I think I remember correctly, honey~"
Su Xi looked completely innocent and blinked as she asked Zhou Jingming.
“That’s right.” Zhou Jingming agreed with her.
Su Xi turned around and saw Su Jianguo's face, which was covered in bruises, and said, "I'm a vulgar person who loves money. If President Su wants to give me a dowry, of course I can't refuse."
After saying that, she put her arm around Zhou Jingming and swaggered out of the Su family's gate.
Su Jianguo was completely bewildered.
Only after a moment did he realize that he had fallen into Su Xi's trap.
Damn little bitch.
How dare they scheme against him.
