"Are you serious? You really went bankrupt?"
As this voice rang out,
Everyone in the Zhou family turned their gaze toward the young man.
Seeing who had arrived,
Zhou Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment.
Then an indescribable joy welled up in her heart!
He could have chosen not to come.
But he came anyway.
Ignoring the noisy voices around them,
Zhou Qiaoqiao gazed lovingly at Xu Mo with her beautiful peach blossom eyes.
Then she stepped forward, wrapping her fair hands around Xu Mo.
Her delicate pink lips whispered coquettishly in his ear.
"Yes! Bankrupt. Didn't I tell you about it last time?"
"You heartless man, you didn't take it seriously at all."
[Holy crap!]
[I thought you were joking!]
[Who could have guessed this was real!]
"Ding, congratulations host, personal endurance +1"
Xu Mo didn't know how to respond.
He could only let the little devil take advantage of him for now.
And truth be told,
Those curves were all natural, no artificial enhancement.
Soft and supple.
The feeling was worlds apart from those produced in plastic surgery factories.
The Zhou family members, including Zhou Qiaoqiao's parents,
Were all dumbfounded.
Xu Mo didn't seem to reject his fiancée as much as rumored.
This was different from the information they had received!
Were they approaching this the wrong way?
Zhou Rongkang frowned, seeing that the situation was about to turn around, and he was about to lose his chance at inheriting the family's real power!
How could he possibly be content to let it return to Zhou Rongguang's hands?
Those trillion-plus in liquid assets were important to the Zhou family.
But for Zhou Rongkang and his faction,
It was more of an excuse!
An excuse to seize real power in the Zhou family.
After all, such a huge amount would definitely be recovered!
"Young Master Xu, we'd like to ask you something. Do you know what Qiaoqiao did with the family funds she transferred to your Xu family?"
Zhou Rongkang asked with a knife hidden behind his smile.
Looking at Xu Mo's expression,
He didn't seem to be in the know!
They absolutely couldn't give the couple a chance to be alone.
Zhou Rongkang's question
Was what everyone present cared about most!
Everyone held their breath.
Dozens of eyes watching.
Xu Mo felt embarrassed to continue their public display of affection, though he was somewhat reluctant.
But he had to stop for now.
He released the little devil.
[Huh? Has the little devil fallen so low as to take money from her own family? Gone completely broke? No wonder she was living in such a remote neighborhood last time]
[You're asking me? Who should I ask?]
[Young master doesn't handle money matters, you're asking the wrong person]
[Hey... could it be she secretly invested in oil?]
Xu Mo suddenly thought of something.
He hadn't considered bonds,
But went straight to thinking about futures!
That's right!
There was that time when the little devil came to his office seeking advice.
She probably made up her mind then.
Good heavens!
Who wouldn't love having such a wife!
Investing in futures was exactly right!
Soon the oil prices would crash dramatically.
Zhou Qiaoqiao's family fortune invested would be completely lost.
Even the Xu family's portion would be gone.
Then, Xu Mo could secretly transfer the Xu family's money to Zhou Qiaoqiao, right?
Let the Xu family suffer double, or even triple the losses.
Wasn't that effectively a major weakening move?
(*^▽^*)
The Xu family would bleed heavily.
Li Jiaxin and An Youyi would join forces, working with Dragon King Lin Fan in a coordinated attack.
Taking advantage of the weakness!
The Xu family's time would be up!
Brilliant!
"O(∩_∩)O Haha~ I know, I know!"
Xu Mo laughed heartily.
He was happier about losing money than making it.
Zhou Qiaoqiao's face turned red, wanting to laugh but holding it back.
She gave Xu Mo an annoyed glare.
Zhou Rongkang's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly continued his questioning.
"Could you tell us more about it?"
Upon seeing Xu Mo,
Zhou Rongkang had to be polite.
If the money had really been taken by the Xu family,
Then Zhou Rongguang's position in the Zhou family would plummet!
No one could tolerate
Having their money handed over to others.
"It went into investments, and my Xu family put in money too."
Xu Mo couldn't be happier inside.
His capable wife, the little devil, deserved half the credit.
Tonight they'd have extra dishes!
A proper celebration.
At this point, Xu Mo only thought the little devil had taken three or four hundred billion of the Zhou family's liquid assets.
At most,
Five or six hundred billion.
He hadn't considered it might be over a trillion.
o(*￣︶￣*)o
Heh... just five or six hundred billion in losses.
The Xu family could afford it with a bit of bleeding.
Everyone gasped.
It was exactly as Zhou Qiaoqiao had explained.
The money had been put to proper use.
Hearing that the Xu family had also invested,
Those who had opposed earlier suddenly fell silent!
Trade secrets!
Genuine trade secrets.
Their questioning of Zhou Qiaoqiao,
Setting aside family relationships,
Had already violated the law.
If the Xu family's comprehensive legal department came after them!
The ones going to jail would be them.
In an instant,
Everyone chose silence.
Those uncles and aunts who had stood up to criticize Zhou Qiaoqiao were now sick with regret.
"Qiaoqiao, it was your fourth aunt's fault earlier, please forgive any offense."
"Sister Qiaoqiao, your sister-in-law spoke without thinking just now, please don't hold it against me."
"People can misjudge sometimes, your third uncle is old and his mind isn't always clear, you won't mind, right?"
The fair-weather friends switched sides.
The situation had changed dramatically.
Even a fool would know
Following Zhou Rongkang now would be a dead end.
The Zhou family's current doubled growth was largely thanks to Zhou Qiaoqiao
People are always forgetful, staying quiet when receiving benefits but complaining at the slightest loss of interest
The setup is that Qiaoqiao wanted to use this internal competition to lead the Zhou family to new heights
To become the leader of the four great families, plus the Zhou family had a share in the over 30 trillion in liquid assets
Unfortunately, that was for the future, and short-sighted relatives couldn't see it, so they scattered like monkeys when the tree falls
Two more updates coming, love you all (づ￣3￣)づ╭❤～ muah
