Chapter: 14

Leaf Chen laughed coldly and asked, "Xiao Hai Long, why are you belittling Xiao Chu Ran like this? Do you think the Xiao family is unworthy to cooperate with Imperial Group?"

Xiao Hai Long was taken aback that Leaf Chen, a worthless person at the family conference, would dare to speak up and even give himself a pat on the back.

As he saw Grandma Xiao's expression turn increasingly displeased, he quickly explained, "I didn't mean it like that. I just think it's impossible for Xiao Chu Ran to negotiate with Imperial Group."

Leaf Chen laughed again and asked him, "If Xiao Chu Ran can negotiate with them, should we bet on the outcome?"

Xiao Hai Long let out a cold laugh and said, "Come on, let's bet! I'm not afraid of you. What do you want to bet on?"

Leaf Chen said, "If Xiao Chu Ran can sign the contract, you'll kneel down in front of all our family members, knock your head three times, and loudly declare that you're wrong. If he can't negotiate with them, I'll kneel down and knock my head three times, declaring that I'm wrong. What do you say?"

Xiao Hai Long burst out laughing immediately, saying, "You're really looking for death! Okay, let's bet!"

Leaf Chen nodded satisfactorily and said, "All family members are witnessing this. Whoever goes back on their word will die the same day as Mom, Dad, grandfather, and grandmother!"

Xiao Hai Long deliberately said those three words "die grandmother" with special emphasis, just in case he was going to lose and then regret it.

As soon as he said this, Xiao Hai Long wouldn't dare regret it anymore, because that would be cursing his grandmother, which means Xiao Laotai died. By the time Xiao Laotai died, she might not even let him off scot-free!

"Good!" Xiao Hai Long didn't know that Ye Chen was digging a pit for himself and instead felt that he was completely impossible to lose.

So, he laughed and said, "Everyone in my family will witness it. I'm waiting for you to kneel down!"

Xiao Churan was startled and gave him a stern look, but didn't expect him to ignore it entirely.

As for Xiao Laotai, she wasn't concerned about this gamble at all. The only thing she cared about was whether they could get into the imperial grand alliance's cooperation list this time. If they did, she wouldn't even care if Xiao Hai Long knelt down in front of Ye Chen or called Ye Chen "dad".

So, she opened her mouth and said, "Today's meeting is over here. Initial, you have three days to bring back the contract. Dismissed!"

When he got home, his parents immediately attacked Ye Chen and Xiao Churan.

His mother, Ma Ran, was furious and blurted out, "Initial, are you crazy? How could you listen to this nonsense from Ye Chen and agree to take on this task?"

Father-in-law Xióu Chángkū scolded Lèi chén, saying, "Léi chén, you useless thing, you're going to ruin my daughter's life!"

Then, father-in-law said with a furious face, "If we can't discuss cooperation with Tián hǎo group, we'll definitely be ostracized by the family. You, you useless thing, will have to kneel and knock your head on the ground in front of everyone, including granduncle Xiāo. And I won't let you make a fool of yourself when I'm still alive!"

Léi chén said seriously, "Mom, Dad, as long as we can discuss this contract, everything will be resolved smoothly."

"Talk, talk, talk! What's the point?"

Father-in-law shouted angrily, "Do you know how strong Tián hǎo group is? How could they possibly look down on our Xiāo family?"

Léi chén smiled and said, "Maybe they'll even look up to us. I think there won't be any problems, we can definitely get the contract."

Mother-in-law sneered from the side, "You think so? You're acting like you're the CEO of Tián hǎo group! A useless thing like you is good for nothing, and yet you're still making big claims!"

Xiāo chū rán saw his parents constantly criticizing Lèi chén, sighed, and said, "Mom, Dad, this has nothing to do with Lèi chén. It's just that I don't want them to look down on me anymore. Haven't we suffered enough injustices over the years?" JrNovels.com
