Chapter 964: Chapter 964

Zhang Xiaohao held Cheng Tianxue’s delicate hand, as cold as ice, but Cheng Tianxue panicked and struggled to pull her hand out, though Zhang Xiaohao’s grip was simply too strong, she couldn’t retract her hand at all.

"Xue’er, look into my eyes, and then tell me! Nothing happened, and I will believe you," Zhang Xiaohao said seriously, gazing into her eyes.

"You jerk! So many people are watching. Let go of my hand quickly!" Cheng Tianxue said, lowering her head, looking a bit flustered.

"Brother-in-law, we are still here, even if you want to do something bad, you should at least get back to the room first!" Cheng Qingsu teasingly remarked.

"Shut up!" Zhang Xiaohao sharply retorted.

"Hmph! Fine, I won’t say anything!" Cheng Qingsu pouted, dissatisfied.

"Xue’er, lift your head, look into my eyes, and then tell me, nothing happened! Then I won’t pursue this matter further," Zhang Xiaohao repeated.

Suddenly, Cheng Tianxue burst into tears and rushed into Zhang Xiaohao’s embrace.

She held his neck tightly, burying her head in his chest and crying loudly.

"There, there! Don’t cry, if you keep crying, you won’t look pretty anymore!" Zhang Xiaohao gently comforted her.

He gently patted her back with his right hand.

Zhang Xiaohao’s attempt at comfort only made Cheng Tianxue cry harder.

"There, there! Don’t cry, or you’ll turn into a big flower cat." Zhang Xiaohao said.

"Pfft!" Cheng Tianxue couldn’t help but laugh through her tears.

"You jerk!" Cheng Tianxue said crossly, lightly punching Zhang Xiaohao’s chest a couple of times.

"Hehe." Zhang Xiaohao smiled gently.

He softly wiped away the tears on her face.

"After venting, do you feel a bit better?" Zhang Xiaohao asked.

"Yes." Cheng Tianxue nodded lightly.

"There, there! Be good. What exactly happened? Tell me, even if the sky falls, I will hold it up for you!" Zhang Xiaohao said firmly.

"Yes." Cheng Tianxue nodded heavily.

She then began to recount everything that had happened over the past few days.

As Cheng Tianxue narrated, Zhang Xiaohao’s expression grew colder and colder.

"That’s how it is." Cheng Tianxue said.

"I see." Zhang Xiaohao nodded calmly.

"It’s just some money, right? I have plenty of money here!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

But in his heart, he noted down those people.

According to Cheng Tianxue’s account, a week ago, a group of people claiming to be from Qingshui Beauty Company approached them seeking cooperation, offering to provide very cheap cosmetic materials.

The condition was that they had to pay twenty billion upfront, and the goods would be delivered to Cheng Tianxue’s company in batches according to a 3:3:3:1 ratio.

Faced with prices three times lower than the market, Cheng Tianxue, Su Ruobai, and other company leaders naturally didn’t believe it at first.

They immediately convened an expanded meeting, bringing a group of company experts to inspect the Qingshui Beauty Company’s location.

The other company was large and claimed to be old friends with Zhang Xiaohao, offering them these raw materials worth twenty billion at a price three times cheaper than the market for his sake.

Cheng Tianxue and the others inspected the goods, and when they returned to the company, they still hadn’t decided whether to purchase the materials.

But somehow, though they were hesitant, they ended up gathering funds, cobbling them together, taking out bank loans, and adding the ten billion in cash Zhang Xiaohao had left before, they transferred the money directly to the opposite party without even receiving the goods.

"Honey, are you not mad at us?" Cheng Tianxue asked pitifully.

"As long as I have you, any amount of money is just fleeting. Even if I had nothing left, I wouldn’t frown," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

"Thank you, honey!!!" Cheng Tianxue said gratefully.

"Zhang Xiaohao, this is a whole twenty billion! The police have already opened an investigation, and there should soon be results!" Zhang Jing comforted.

"As long as everyone is safe, money is just a number to me! Even if it were twenty billion RMB, or even two hundred billion, or two trillion, as long as you’re all safe, it doesn’t matter," Zhang Xiaohao said unwaveringly.

"Thank you!!" Cheng Tianxue and Su Ruobai said simultaneously.

"Brother-in-law, but what about the money we owe the bank? Somehow the information leaked, and the bank is already pushing us for repayments! They gave us a three-day deadline, or they’ll seize our company! And tomorrow is the last day for repayment," Cheng Qingsu said, frowning.

"Yes, Zhang Xiaohao, maybe we should all think of a way, gather some money, and try to pay back the bank first," Zhang Jing suggested.

"No need! You don’t have to worry about this; I have my own ways to solve it!" Zhang Xiaohao said confidently.

"Okay." The women nodded.

Hearing Zhang Xiaohao’s words, or rather seeing him return, they felt particularly at ease.

"By the way, brother-in-law, where have you been these days? Why are you only back now?" Cheng Qingsu asked curiously.

"Why do kids ask so many questions? It’s already late; hurry up and go to bed!" Zhang Xiaohao said with a touch of annoyance.

"Tsk! I’m not a kid; my sister and I are twins, and she only came out a bit earlier than me. If I had come out first, you’d have to call me Sister Qingsu!" Cheng Qingsu said proudly.

"Cheng Qingsu, you cheeky girl, shut up! I swear you’ve gotten bolder!" Cheng Tianxue said, exasperated.

"Hehe! Sis, not to brag, but you’ll never catch me! Yeah, in this life, you’ll never catch me! Haha, if you want to teach me a lesson, catch me first," Cheng Qingsu said smugly.

"You cheeky girl! Only a few days without supervision, and you’ve gotten bold! How defiant have you become! Tonight, I’m spanking you hard!" Cheng Tianxue said.

Standing up from the sofa, Cheng Tianxue charged at Cheng Qingsu with bared fangs and brandished claws.

"Hehe... Sis, you can’t catch me!" Cheng Qingsu taunted, sticking out her tongue, ready to leap from the sofa to run.

But she found herself locked in place by a powerful aura, suppressing her, unable to move an inch.

"Ah! Brother-in-law, you’re cheating. I’m your little darling, and you’re teaming up with my sister to bully me! I’ll tell Grandpa!" Cheng Qingsu pouted, dissatisfiedly pursing her flirtatious, fiery lips.
