Chapter: 173

Just as Dong Ruolin walked away, Shao's grandmother became enraged and slapped Shao Haolong's face.

Shao Haolong was left stunned, his face burning from the slap. His grandmother reprimanded him severely, "How did I teach you? You should have been good to Dong Ruolin! But instead, you abandoned her and fled, behaving like a beast - how could she possibly like you?"

"Grandma, I'm wrong," Shao Haolong covered his burning face and suddenly became enlightened, regretting to the extreme.

He only realized at this moment that he and Dong Ruolin were never meant to be......

Shao Haolong returned home without telling his wife about what happened tonight.

His wife was also unaware of Dong Ruolin's ordeal.

After all, Shao family members had always been ostracized by the grandmother, so they didn't have any qualifications to live in the Shao family villa and naturally couldn't know anything about these matters.

The next day, Shao Chunran just woke up when she received a phone call from her grandmother.

Her grandmother said: "Chunran, go to Tianhao Building Materials Group today and try to talk to their boss. See if you can get them to advance us one million yuan in materials ahead of time, and then we'll pay them back after we settle the account with Emperor Group."

Shao Chunran hurriedly said: "Grandma, Tianhao Building Materials Group's business is quite large, and they have a lot of clout. They've always been unwilling to advance funds."

Her grandmother said: "No way, Shao family is currently facing some financial difficulties. We've already paid too much upfront costs, and it's hard to get a loan. So we can only try to figure something out with Tianhao Building Materials Group."

As she spoke, her grandmother also said: "Chunran, our family is now worried on the inside and threatened from outside. Your brother-in-law doesn't give me any face either. Now it's up to you to find a way to get along well with Tianhao Building Materials Group's boss, Mr. Zhou Tianhao. As long as he nods, we'll have a chance!"

Shao Chunran hesitated for a moment before reluctantly agreeing, saying: "Grandma, I'll try."

"Okay!" Shao grandmother relaxed and said: "I believe you can do it, Grandma trusts you."

As she hung up the phone, Shao Chunran felt a bit downhearted.

Yeh Chen couldn't help but ask: "What's going on?"

Shao Chunran roughly told Yeh Chen what was happening.

Yeh Chen nodded and said: "Why not go talk to Tianhao Group first and let them pay two million upfront for the engineering project?"

Shao Chunran hastily said: "That won't work, we're already collaborating with Tianhao Group, which is quite high-profile. If we ask someone else to prepay the engineering fee, it'll be looked down upon."

Yeh Chen thought, "Tianhao Group is your husband's company, what's two million to you? Who dares look down on you?"

However, Shao Chunran was unaware of this.

She said: "Okay, I'll go talk to Mr. Zhou then."

"Then I'll go with you," Yeh Chen said.

"That's not suitable." Shao Chunran said, "What's wrong with bringing your husband to discuss business? It would also show a lack of professionalism."

Shao Chunran went on, "Just stay at home and wait. If you're really bored, just go out for a walk. There's nothing much to do at home anyway." JrNovels.com
