Chapter 5

"What's the air, isn't it 100 million, those who don't know think it's 100 billion."

Liu Bing was full of disdain, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all. As if afraid of Chu Jian's repentance, he quickly put the money into the box and put it in his hand.

With 100 million, not only is it enough to buy Shen Hao's wedding, but also the money for her retirement for the rest of her life.

"Aunt Liu, you haven't answered my question yet." Chu Jian asked patiently.

"Let's talk." Liu Bing waved his hand like a fly away.

"You want to go back on your word?" Seeing Liu Bing's impatient look, Chu Jian knew that things might not be that simple.

"Hmph, if our family hadn't taken you in back then, you would have starved to death on the street."

Liu Bing sneered and said, "Also, you've been eating and drinking at our house all these years. It's not considered money? It's only 100 million, which is cheap for you!"

"you!"

Chu Jian was angry and was about to refute a few words.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Lingpei pulled Chu Jian into the room and slammed the door.

"Why are you stopping me? I got the money, why can't I ask for an explanation?" Chu Jianyu was still angry.

"It's not good for you to have a falling out with my mother."

Shen Lingpei's cold words made Chu Jian wake up quickly.

If you want to marry someone else's daughter, it depends on your mother-in-law's face.

"Sorry, I'm too excited!"

Chu Jian sighed, only feeling uncomfortable in his chest.

"It's really not your fault."

Seeing Chu Jian's sour face, Shen Lingpei felt pity in her heart, and her tone softened a bit: "But my mother has always been a strong character, and she has always doted on Xiaohao. If you confront her, it will only be counterproductive, and she will be even more opposed to the marriage."

Chu Jian's heart moved, and he said with some joy: "Lingpei, in fact, you also want to marry me, right?"

Shen Lingpei was startled.

The two have lived together for three years. Although they haven't had any intimate contact, they get along day and night. It's impossible to say that they have no relationship.

The blush on Shen Lingpei's face disappeared in a flash, and soon returned to its original state: "I promised to marry you, but I just don't want to break my promise."

"I see."

Chu Jian smiled, and the anger in his heart disappeared.

This woman was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and she finally didn't waste her going against her original intention and agreeing to grandpa's conditions.

"By the way!" Shen Lingpei's expression became serious: "How did you get 100 million?"

"I have a friend who is a good friend. He made some money in business, and I borrowed it from him." Chu Jian had already thought up his words.

"Tell me the truth, did you do something illegal?"

Shen Lingpei frowned, Chu Jian stayed in Shen's house for so many years, she never heard that Chu Jian made rich friends.

"Don't worry, the source of the money is very clean." Chu Jian explained.

"It's up to you, 100 million is not a small amount. When my company gets through the difficulties, I will help you pay it back as soon as possible." Shen Lingpei hesitated for a moment. Since Chu Jian didn't want to say anything, she didn't want to ask more.

"Thank you!"

There was a warm current of courage in Chu Jian's heart, no matter what, Shen Lingpei always had a place for him in his heart.

"This is my brother's business. There is no reason for you to work hard."

With a straight face, Shen Lingpei threw the clothes in her hands to Chu Jian: "This is the suit I bought for you. The day after tomorrow is the Shen family's annual meeting. Dress decently and don't embarrass me!"...

Early the next morning, just as it was dawn, Chu Jian was woken up by Liu Bing.

"Trash, how long are you going to sleep? Hurry up and send Lingpei to work."

"Aunt Liu, shall I drive an electric car to deliver Ling Pei?"

Chu Jian was a little strange. Liu Bing always felt that Chu Jian was ashamed to drive an electric car, so he was reluctant to let Chu Jian and Shen Lingpei have too much interaction outside.

Chu Jian had offered to send Shen Lingpei to work before, but was reprimanded by Liu Bing sarcastically.

"If Lingpei's car hadn't broken down, I'd get you anyway." Liu Bing sneered.

"Chu Jian, hurry up, I'm going to be late!" Shen Lingpei urged impatiently in the bathroom.

"Okay, I'll come right away!"

Chu Jian cheered up, this was the first time Shen Lingpei asked him to pick him up, so he had to behave better.

After a simple wash, just about to go out, the doorbell rang.

Liu Bing opened the door, and a well-dressed man walked in.

This man was handsome, with well-defined facial features, and his short hair, which stood up slightly, set off his aura of sophistication.

"Aunt Liu, good morning!" The man smiled softly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Chu Jian's heart sank. He knew this man. His name was Xu Haitao. His family's Dongfang Group had hundreds of millions of assets, and he was a well-known son in Tianhai City.

Xu Haitao is Shen Lingpei's suitor and also a business partner. Because of his work, he has found opportunities to get close to Shen Lingpei countless times. Even after he learned that Shen Lingpei and Chu Jian had a marriage contract, he did not give up.

"Xiaotao, come here so early, what's the matter?" Liu Bing asked kindly, compared with his attitude towards Chu Jian, he was one heaven and one underground.

Xu Haitao said politely: "I heard that Lingpei's car broke down, so I came here to pick her up to go to work."

"That troubles you."

Liu Bing said with a smile, then turned around and yelled at Chu Jian: "Are you blind? Seeing guests coming, don't you know how to pour water for others?"

Chu Jian suddenly understood why Liu Bing was still evasive about his marriage with Shen Lingpei after he collected enough dowry gifts.

Xu Haitao can inherit hundreds of millions of assets, the one million he took out is not worth mentioning at all.

“The water is too hot!”

After receiving the tea from Chu Jian, Xu Haitao exclaimed suddenly.

"What's the use of you, you can't even pour water." Liu Bing stared: "Still in a daze, go change it!"

Chu Jian went to change a cup without humming.

But Xu Haitao took a sip and said unhurriedly: "No, it's too cold!"

"What a waste!"

Liu Bing slapped the table, pushed Chu Jian away, and poured a glass of water himself.

Xu Haitao glanced at Chu Jian with a smile, and then nodded with a smile: "It's still Aunt Liu who knows what I mean."

Naked provocation!

Chu Jian gritted his teeth. In his eyes, the Eastern Group had come to an end.

"Aunt Liu, I asked someone to bring you some gifts from England. Be careful, and I hope you don't dislike them." At this time, Xu Haitao put the big bags and small bags he brought with him on the table and began to introduce them one by one.

"This is the new style of Chanel this year. I heard that it is specially made for the royal ladies in Europe. It is the most suitable for you!"

"And this coat, a popular model in Milan Fashion Week, you must look good in it."

"I heard that my uncle likes to drink tea. This box of Tieguanyin is very good. I hope you like it."

……

Xu Haitao was like a treasure, and gave out one valuable gift after another. Even Jiang Hao got a mechanical watch worth nearly [-] yuan.

The eyes of the family were shining, looking into Xu Haitao's eyes, it was like looking at a gleaming golden mountain.

"Xiaotao, you've come all the time, why spend so much money, I'm so sorry."

Liu Bing smiled from ear to ear, and her impression of Xu Haitao became even better.

This is the right candidate for his son-in-law. It costs hundreds of thousands of dollars to give a gift. If he can be with Shen Lingpei, what a generous gift.

Not to mention, Xu Haitao will inherit the family business in the future and will have a net worth of nearly hundreds of millions.

Compared with it, the 100 million that Chu Jian took out is insignificant.

"Mom, you don't get rewarded for nothing, how can you accept such an expensive gift from someone?" Shen Lingpei said unhappily, she was very aware of Xu Haitao's intentions for her, but she didn't have much affection for Xu Haitao.

If you take other people's things, it is not easy to refuse certain requests from others.
