Chapter 569 Everyone has to die, don’t be too sad
Xiang Tao was filled with rage, and felt even more miserable for Emperor Cang Huang.
He no longer had the energy to care about Xiang Ze; the top priority was the Xiang Group.
Xiang Tao just said casually: "Let him go. I won't be home for a few days. You guys take care of the house."
He hung up the phone and began to arrange the group's affairs. He called major clients to maintain relationships and soothe their emotions, and informed the media that he would hold a press conference tomorrow to clarify online rumors.
The phone kept ringing all night.
The company kept getting bad news, and shareholders were demanding an explanation from him.
Xiang Tao was exhausted both physically and mentally.
What crushed him was the collection calls from the bank. The loan amounts from the big groups were all staggering. If the business was kept running normally, the profits from the loans would be far greater than the bank interest.
But now the Xiang Group is somewhat overwhelmed.
Xiang Tao realized something very dangerous and terrifying.
The Xiang Group’s funding chain...is broken!
Xiang Tao made all the phone calls overnight, but all he got was a perfunctory response.
Finally he brought Xiang Mingzhu with him.
Kneeling in front of the Lu family’s home in Qiu Shui Villa District in Mid-Levels.
Only Lu Bannong can fill such a huge funding gap.
This is the last hope of the Xiang Group!
…
In the Lu family's living room.
Lu Yingxue took a sip of the white coffee in her hand, looked at Lu Bannong on the other side of the sofa and said, "Father, they have been kneeling for more than an hour."
Lu Bangnong flipped through the medical book in his hand and said nonchalantly, "It's useless even if you kneel for your whole life."
Lu Yingxue put down her coffee cup, wiped her lips with a tissue and said, "The old lady asked me to go to the Zhong family today, saying that I can watch Mr. Huang's golden needle technique. Also, Zhong Lingxiao's woman outside is pregnant. The old lady means that if I can't get pregnant before the end of the year, Zhong Yi may lose the position of heir."
Lu Bannong paused and closed the medical book: "How could there be such a big change?"
"Maybe... Zhong Yi has angered the old lady in some way. We all firmly believed that the next heir of the Zhong family would be Zhong Yi. Who could have thought of this?"
"Then you need to be more prepared. The old lady of the Zhong family has expressed her desire to have a great-great-grandson more than once. Which old lady doesn't love children? It would be a great story if five generations could live under one roof."
"I understand."
Lu Yingxue said softly, "I will get pregnant."
If she gets pregnant after the engagement, she can also urge Zhong Yi to get the marriage certificate as soon as possible so that she can become the legitimate wife of Mr. Zhong.
Lu Yingxue's expression was cold. The old lady's behavior made her more convinced of Zhong Yi's stupid deeds.
The woman he loves is Qiao Xi!
But there are still many doubts that she can't figure out.
So she did not confess her guess to Lu Bannong, and decided to tell him after everything was verified.
"Don't be late, go to the Zhong family early. Cheng Han's apprentice is here recently, you can learn a few tricks from her when Huang Bingyi is teaching her. With the old lady here, Huang Bingyi won't dare to say anything."
"good."
Lu Yingxue stood up, went back to her room, put on some fresh and elegant makeup, put on a light-colored dress, and then went out.
When she walked out of the villa, she found it was drizzling.
It's autumn now.
A burst of autumn rain brings a cool breeze.
The servant brought her a thin coat and carefully held an umbrella for her.
Lu Yingxue held her coat in her arms and glanced gracefully at the kneeling Xiang Mingzhu and Xiang Tao.
The two of them were soaked by the rain and looked very miserable.
"cousin."
Xiang Tao shouted, "Can you please ask uncle to inject capital into Xiang Group to stabilize people's hearts. There will be a press conference at 10 o'clock in the morning. If uncle is willing to solve the urgent problem of Xiang Group, I will..."
Lu Yingxue stopped and said, "Cousin, it's too late. You only reacted when Xie Xubai took 15% of the shares of Xiang Group. You have no idea how much effort he put in behind the scenes."
So, it's too late.
Can't be saved.
The Lu family cannot be dragged into this.
The money invested now may all be wasted, so why not seize the opportunity to share in the spoils? When the giant shark falls, the fish will rush to it, and any amount of meat they can grab will be a profit.
"Give up, cousin. Cut your losses as soon as possible."
Xiang Tao's eyes were red and sad: "Xiang Group is my father's hard work. I will protect it for him after he dies!"
"My uncle's death was expected. He was exhausted every day and had to clean up your mess. He had a bad temper to begin with, and my father treated him many times before but it didn't work. He was hospitalized one after another recently, which was a sign. Everyone is destined to die, so don't be too sad."
Lu Yingxue's description was light and cold to the extreme.
Xiang Tao stared at her, as if he was meeting this cousin for the first time, who was known throughout the imperial capital for having a kind heart.
"Cousin, there's no point in you looking at me like that. The instigator of this incident is kneeling right next to you." Lu Yingxue moved her high heels and stood in front of Xiang Mingzhu, looking down at him.
The tone was calm but contained a hint of sarcasm.
"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have lost my position as the leader of the Needle Testing Conference. The Xiang family wouldn't have fallen to this point. It can be said that she was the one who caused the demise of the Xiang family and the death of my uncle."
Lu Yingxue was still worried about it.
"Xiang Mingzhu, you are a sinner who killed your own father." Lu Yingxue bent down, stretched out her hand and pinched Xiang Mingzhu's chin, forcing her to look up at her.
Xiang Mingzhu bit her lip tightly and was forced to look up. The drizzle fell on her body, making her eyelashes wet so that she could hardly see Lu Yingxue's expression.
Just heard her say.
"I will be engaged to Zhong Yi on the eighth of next month. The old lady wants Zhong Yi and I to have a child before the end of the year, so I'm sure Zhong Yi will be very positive. Even if the Xiang family is in decline, I will give you an invitation for the sake of our cousins."
Lu Yingxue knew what kind of words would hurt Xiang Mingzhu and hit her sore spot.
"You... Lu Yingxue you bitch! You are a bitch!"
The servant stopped Xiang Mingzhu and pushed her to the ground.
Lu Yingxue sneered. She wanted Xiang Mingzhu to experience all the pain she had endured!
Idiot!
Always ruining good things for others!
"Xiang Mingzhu, I don't have time to waste with you. I'm going to the Zhong family now. Cultivate your relationship with Zhong Yi. Regardless of whether your past with him is true or false, he is using you."
Lu Yingxue walked slowly to the car and got in.
"Lu Yingxue!"
Xiang Mingzhu was pinned to the ground by the Lu family's servant, shouting Lu Yingxue's name with heart-wrenching hatred!
She understood that from today on, the gap between her and Lu Yingxue would become bigger and bigger, and she and Zhong Yi would drift further and further apart.
All her pride and vanity vanished.
Gone without a trace!
"Lu Yingxue!"
She cried until she was hoarse, and the rain splashed on her cheeks. She would not give up this hatred, the hatred of being Lu Yingxue's stepping stone and joke for more than 20 years!
As long as she lives, she will never forget it!
Xiang Tao, who was kneeling beside him, slowly closed his eyes, feeling desolate in his heart.
The Xiang family is hopeless!
He stood up slowly, but his sore and stiff knees made him fall into the rain again.
He stood up and fell down again and again, and staggered out.
…
However, the atmosphere in the living room of the Zhong family's old house was unusual.
It seems bright and lively, but it hides a conflict.
