Chapter 277: Shamelessly Asking for Money

Xia Yangyang couldn’t take it anymore.

She marched right in: “Xia Weiwei, what are you doing here?”

Only after Xia Yangyang walked in did she get a clear view.

The object Xia Weiwei was holding turned out to be a check.

However, Xia Yangyang couldn’t make out the amount indicated on it.

Xia Yangyang couldn’t believe what she was seeing: “What is that in your hand? Give it to me.”

Xia Weiwei hastily stuffed the check into her purse, a smile plastered on her face: “This is a token of appreciation from my brother-in-law, Xia Yangyang. How long has it been since you last visited home? Do you know our father’s company is facing a huge problem? It’s only fair that my brother-in-law helps, we are family after all. Unless of course, you don’t consider my brother-in-law family.”

“Xia Weiwei, I’d have to be a fool to trust you. Even if our father’s company is indeed in trouble, I should be the one he turns to, not you dealing directly with him. What business do you have with him? How dare you shamelessly ask him for money.”

Xia Weiwei was almost driven mad with anger.

The submissive Xia Yangyang had become increasingly arrogant after marrying Gu Qichen.

However, with Gu Qichen present, Xia Weiwei had to maintain her image and couldn’t lose her temper openly.

She could hardly hide her resentment. “So, Xia Yangyang, now that you are married into a wealthy family and have a soaring career in the entertainment industry, you look down on us. If not for this pressing issue, I wouldn’t have thickened my skin to ask my brother-in-law. He himself hasn’t raised any objections, yet here you are, accusing me unjustly. If you really don’t trust me, you can go and ask father yourself.”

Xia Weiwei, appearing as if she had suffered a great injustice, had tears in her eyes and looked pitiful.

She glanced at Xia Yangyang out of the corner of her eye, only to find that Gu Qichen’s gaze was fixated on Xia Yangyang, completely oblivious to her emotional state at the moment.

Xia Weiwei knew about Xia Yangyang’s stubbornness. Xia Yangyang disliked owing anyone anything, even if that person was Gu Qichen.

Xia Weiwei was genuinely afraid that Xia Yangyang would end up returning the money.

So she turned to Gu Qichen and said, “Brother-in-law, I won’t bother you any longer. I need to leave.”

Xia Yangyang wanted to stop Xia Weiwei.

But Gu Qichen leaned over and held her by the arm, “What’s the rush? Didn’t you come to see me? Why are you leaving so soon?”

Xia Yangyang was fuming, “Gu Qichen, what did you do? Why did you give her money!”

Gu Qichen let out a small chuckle, pulling Xia Yangyang onto his lap, “Did you eat dynamite or what? Why are you so angry?”

“Gu Qichen, what’s going on?”

Gu Qichen, amused to see her looking so hotheaded, wanted to enjoy it a little longer.

But seeing that Xia Yangyang was on the verge of violent rage…

He decided not to provoke her any further.

He plainly told the truth, “Xia Weiwei asked me to lend her five million, saying your father was having some financial issues, so I lent it to her.”

Xia Yangyang frowned, “How could you just casually hand her the money? Do you believe whatever she tells you?”

Gu Qichen replied, “It’s just five million, no big deal. Besides, I’ve heard that your father’s recent investments have all been losses. Since she came openly to me, I guess everyone at home knows about it. We can ask about it when we go back. If there are indeed problems, it is my duty to lend a hand.”

Xia Yangyang’s brows knitted together.

To be honest, due to Liu Ruyan, the relationship between her and Xia Liangdong had been strained. That was undeniable.

However, if the company was indeed facing serious issues, Xia Yangyang would never stand by and do nothing.

After all, the establishment of the company was also the result of her mother’s hard work.

What Xia Yangyang couldn’t tolerate was that Xia Liangdong hadn’t said a word to her about any of this, and it was Xia Weiwei who instead directly approached Gu Qichen for money.
