Chapter 265: Five Hundred Million in Exchange for a Jade Lock

One sentence completely exposed her.

Everyone had guessed some of it.

But now no one cares who made this incense.

The rash on He Zhuoru's body became more and more serious. Xiao Qishan said, "Ah Chuan, call Dr. Yao over."

Dr. Yao is the Xiao family's family physician and he also returned with them this time.

Xiao Hechuan suddenly thought of something: "Doctor Yao has taken leave to go back to his hometown today, but the Shen family's family doctor should be here today. I'll go and ask for him now."

Shen Nuo's family also has a family doctor because Shen Nuo's nanny, Wang Ma, suddenly suffered a heart attack.

Xiao Hechuan knew that the family doctor came every night for a checkup these days and usually left at ten o'clock.

He should not have left yet.

"Okay, okay, go and ask the Shen family's doctor."

In fact, Xiao Qishan had long forgotten the Shen family and didn't know where it was.

All he could think about now was to quickly get a doctor to treat He Zhuoru.

Xiao Hechuan quickly got up and left.

Xiao Hefan also followed: "I'll go with you."

Here, Xiao Qishan was obviously angry and had a dark face.

Jiang Xiaoxiao also knew that she had caused trouble.

He wanted to put all the blame on Jiang Ciyou.

"Dad, I didn't know there was something wrong with the incense. I really didn't know. This incense was made by Jiang Ciyou. This is all Jiang Ciyou's fault."

Jiang Xiaoxiao walked up to He Zhuoru and said, "Uncle Xiao, Aunt He, I really didn't know there was something wrong with the incense. I didn't mean to do that..."

Xiao Qishan frowned and said coldly: "Just now Miss Jiang said that you made this incense yourself, but now you are clueless. Whether it is shirking responsibility or lying from the beginning, Miss Jiang's character is really not commendable."

Jiang Xiaoxiao stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Xiao Qishan said, "Mr. Jiang, I thought this child had some affinity with us, and I even gave her the heirloom that was originally intended for my daughter. But facts have proven that our Xiao family and your daughter have only a superficial affinity. In this case, please return our family heirloom to me, Mr. Jiang."

"I, Xiao Qishan, know that there is no reason to take back something I gave away, but that piece of jade is a family heirloom. It is not worth much on the market, but it is very meaningful to our family. I am willing to exchange 500 million for this jade lock. I hope Mr. Jiang will understand."

Jiang Jinhui was already devastated.

But no one expected that Xiao Qishan would actually ask for 500 million to get the jade lock back.

Honestly, this is pie in the sky.

Now that the company's shares have plummeted and its funding chain has been broken, it is exactly when money is needed.

The bank searched hard but the loan was delayed.

If the funding chain is really broken, the Jiang family will really go bankrupt.

These 500 million are definitely a timely help, not to mention that it is 500 million in cash flow, its market value will be multiplied several times.

Besides, if the jade could not be attached to the Xiao family, it would be just like a stone to him.

Jiang Jinhui was extremely happy in his heart, but he still pretended to be regretful and heartbroken on his face.

"Mr. Xiao, what are you talking about? It is my daughter who has failed to live up to expectations and has disappointed you. The jade pendant originally belonged to the Xiao family and we should return it."

After that, he turned to Jiang Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you return the things to Mr. Xiao?"

Although Jiang Jinhui spoke politely, he did not ask for the 500 million.

On the one hand, the Jiang family is also a well-known family in Rongcheng, and he also has to maintain some dignity.

Secondly, he knew that for a century-old family like the Xiao family, 500 million was nothing.

Now that I have said it, I will never go back on my word.

On the other hand, Jiang Xiaoxiao was completely devastated when she heard these words.

Why should the jade pendant be returned?

Even if the Xiao family agreed to give 500 million, it would only be 500 million.

Compared with the Xiao family's fortune of hundreds of billions, what are these 500 million?

She wants to be the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family. This is her only chance to surpass Jiang Ciyou.

Only by climbing up the ranks of the Xiao family can she be on equal footing with Jiang Ciyou, and step on her step by step in the future.

But now she has failed miserably, and Xiao Qishan has a very bad impression of her.

What should she do?

How can we make Xiao Qishan change his impression and have a good impression of him?

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoxiao only thought of one solution.

She said righteously, "Uncle Xiao, we don't want your five hundred million. This jade pendant was originally given to me by you. I was wrong today. I wanted to please you and Aunt Zhuo so much that I deceived you. This incense was not made by me. I'm sorry. I don't want to make excuses for myself. I can only say sorry. Please forgive me."

Jiang Xiaoxiao's expression looked very sincere.

She took out a jewel box from her bag.

Then he walked over to Xiao Qishan, looking as if he was about to cry but was extremely forbearing.

"Uncle Xiao, Aunt He, I'm really sorry today. This incense was made by someone and given to me. They said it has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, so I wanted to give it to Aunt He. In order to express my feelings, I lied and said that I made it myself. I admit that I am very vain. Aunt He, Uncle Xiao, I was wrong, please forgive me."

Jiang Xiaoxiao finally choked up at the end of her speech.

Tears flowed down like beads from a broken string.

She bent 90 degrees, looking extremely pious.

When Jiang Jinhui heard Jiang Xiaoxiao say that she didn't want 500 million, he clenched his fingers into fists.

This rebellious girl doesn't even want 500 million!

Does she know the company's situation?

Why is she pretending to be noble by spending 500 million?

Jiang Jinhui wished he could spit out blood and die on the spot.

Xiao Qishan saw Jiang Xiaoxiao's expression, sighed, helped her up, and said in a much gentler voice: "You still have some backbone."

"In that case, let's forget about the 500 million. You are such a man of integrity, and I don't want to humiliate you with these 500 million."

When Jiang Jinhui heard this, he felt a pain in his chest, as if pierced by a sword.

His whole body was shaking, his head was heavy and his feet were light, and he could hardly stand.

Yao Shulan supported his arm from behind and he was able to stand still.

Jiang Xiaoxiao straightened up, looking very pitiful: "Uncle Xiao, Aunt He, please don't be angry with me, okay?"

He Zhuoru patted Xiao Qishan's hand.

Xiao Qishan said, "You should correct your mistakes if you know them. Since you are so sincere, I will let it go."

In fact, He Zhuoru did not have any special feelings towards this child.

But before that, Xiao Qishan often mentioned to her the girl who gave her the jade.

They said how cute she was and that if their daughter were still alive, she would definitely look like that.

So at the beginning, she was also very excited.

Although the child did not grow up to be what they imagined.

But fate eventually led to a separation.

Jiang Xiaoxiao wiped away her tears and suddenly laughed, and immediately took Xiao Qishan's arm: "Uncle Xiao, can I come to visit you again in the future?"

Xiao Qishan frowned slightly, but still nodded reluctantly: "Okay."
