Qian Tao ran down from the car and into the house before Butler Li could open the umbrella and so she got herself a little wet.

There were a few people sitting in the living hall. They looked like they were in a discussion.

Xiao Yuanhang suggested, “Uncle, now that my family is facing bankruptcy, my wedding with Churui will have to be postponed.”

“Yuanhang, don’t worry. Your uncle and I are thinking of ways to raise funds. You will be able to pull through.”

“I don’t care!” Churui, who was leaning against Yuanhang, insisted, “No matter what, I’ll marry Yuanhang, even if it has to be a bare marriage.”

“Silly girl! What nonsense this is!” Qian Tao’s stepmother, also Qian Churui’s biological mother, Liu Hui, voiced out. How can a mayor’s daughter go into a bare marriage? It would be a disgrace!”

Xiao Yuanhang patted Qian Churui’s hand and with his washed-out eyes, affirmed, “A bare marriage would be a grievance to you, give me some time.”

However, Qian Churui appeared to be happy. “No, it won’t be a grievance to me as long as I can be with you. It will be worthwhile.”

“Father, I’m home.” Qian Tao did not wish to break such a harmonious atmosphere but there’s something she ought to tell them.

“Tao, where did you go last night?” Qian Chenhai frowned. “You didn’t even inform us that you weren’t coming home.”

“Tao has always been pampered. Everything is ready for her and she doesn’t need to worry about anything. How could she worry about our current situation?” Liu Hui said, “Anyway, it’s not her getting married; what could she worry about?”

Qian Churui took a look at her and something flashed past the depth of her eyes.

The next moment, Qian Tao met Xiao Yuanhang’s cold gaze and withdrew right after that.

She dried the raindrops on her body and from her pocket, she took out a cheque and passed it to Xiao Yuanhang, “Here, fifty million dollars to fill the gap and connect the capital chain. With your ability, you can easily revive the company, right?”

Qian Tao’s words got everyone speechless.

Xiao Yuanhang’s astonished look shifted toward the cheque on her hand. Liu Hui came nearer to take a look and was shocked, “It’s really fifty million dollars!”

This girl, where did she get such a big amount of money?

Qian Chenhai was dumbfounded too. “Tao, where did you get the money from?”

Xiao Yuanhang noticed the signature on the cheque. Frowning, he asked, “You know Li Hengzhi?”

Qian Churui who was sitting next to Xiao Yuanhang took a closer look at the cheque and couldn’t believe her eyes.

“Impossible, how does Qian Tao know Li Hengzhi? Since when did they know one another?”

Impossible…

However, the signature truly showed the name “Li Hengzhi,” and the amount too was undoubtedly fifty million dollars. She was not wrong.

“Tao!” Qian Chenhai anxiously stood up. “Tell me truthfully, why did Li Hengzhi lend you money? That man is someone you cannot provoke!”

“Oh… darling, don’t be too anxious,” Liu Hui came to her rescue, “If Li Hengzhi wanted to harm Tao, how could he still give her so much money? I think…”

Qian Tao was calm although she was faced with doubts from everyone there. She interrupted Liu Hui, “I know him, he’s my friend. I asked if he could lend me some money. Anyway, this money…”

She looked at Xiao Yuanhang. “You may return it to me when your company is back on track and I can return to him.”

Xiao Yuanhang looked at the cheque and kept silent for a long time. With knitted eyebrows, what he was thinking matched that of Liu Hui. There’s no such friend who would lend you fifty million dollars without any reason!

“Sis.” Qian Churui was puzzled. “This is not little; how can he lend you such a big amount?”

“Don’t you want this money?” Qian Tao did not want to continue this conversation. She stretched out her hand and said, “Then, I’ll return to him.”
