Chapter 514: Chapter 514

"Yes, Mr. Kang, according to our deductions, the sole owner of the house can only be——"

It must only be someone related to the Xiao Family. Because Ruan Ruzhen, in order to protect the company, it can be said that she left this trick to protect her own family members, and the house could only be entrusted to the person who could guard her family and company.

To force this person out, the only way was to push the Xiao Family people to a desperate situation. Then we would see if this person would still come out!

So, a series of sinister laughs spread throughout the room.

No problem, the people of the Xiao Family were all in their hands.

Xiao Shumei and Xiao Shuju had just caught their breath in Xiao Shuzhu’s hotel room.

With two bags of fine tea she had purchased herself, Xiao Shuzhu brewed some for her older sisters, sighing in her heart, thinking about the past when the sisters had no opportunity for such heart-to-heart talks.

Having money didn’t compare to their current destitution. Back then, everyone looked after their own wealth, fearful of others taking it. It turned out that when there was no money, it didn’t matter as much, and suspicions of each other were not so prevalent.

No wonder an old saying goes, "Adversity is easy to bear, but prosperity is difficult." It speaks of the spirit of sharing.

Her daughter, Zhu Jiayin, suddenly burst into the room, ignoring the presence of her two aunts, and exclaimed, "Mom, your credit card can’t be used anymore!"

Zhu Jiayin had been brought back to China by her mother, of course, she found it convenient to use her mother’s credit card. Her mother had applied for a local bank card, unlike her foreigner dad’s, which were international cards that required currency conversion for purchases in China.

The girl, having a businessman dad, was more sensitive to currency exchange than the average person. She felt it was a waste to lose even a little bit of money on such transactions.

Xiao Shuzhu, hearing that her credit card couldn’t be used, was at first stunned and asked, "What do you mean it can’t be used? Did you buy some big-ticket item? Did it exceed a certain amount?!"

The credit limit she had given her daughter was certainly restricted; she couldn’t allow her daughter to recklessly purchase something as expensive as a multimillion-dollar house—that was absolutely something she couldn’t afford to repay.

"Mom, what are you talking about? I wouldn’t dare use that much of your money, knowing you don’t have as much as Dad," Zhu Jiayin stomped her feet, her mouth pouting in grievance.

Xiao Shuzhu’s mouth twisted in mimicry of her daughter’s.

She might not be as wealthy as her foreigner husband, but the money she was spending now was nothing more than the pocket money rewarded to her by her foreigner husband for having given birth to a son.

"I just wanted to buy a Disney bag today, a thousand bucks at the boutique, and when I took it to the counter to pay, they directly said that this card of yours has been frozen and can’t be used. It was so embarrassing!" Zhu Jiayin bitterly complained to her mother, "If I’d known, I would’ve used Dad’s card!" Then, the girl slammed her mother’s credit card onto the table and stormed out.

This scene left Xiao Shumei and Xiao Shuju watching in stunned silence.

Especially Xiao Shuju, who had not had children of her own, couldn’t help but think: Better not to have a daughter at all.

What kind of daughter is this? If mom has no money, does she not want a mom anymore?

Xiao Shuzhu seemed to be accustomed to this behavior, lazily saying, "There’s no helping it, she’s been spoiled by her dad. He’s always given her whatever she wants. According to the Chinese saying, a daughter needs to be raised in wealth and shouldn’t feel the lack of money. I strongly disagree with this, thinking about our mom, she never educated us this way."

Their mother, Ruan Ruzhen, adhered to the traditional Chinese values, teaching them to be thrifty and manage a household. Precisely because of this, even though it seemed like they were spending lavishly, they each had their own way of managing their wealth carefully.
