Billionaire's Adorable Sweet Wife-Chapter 976: Kicking Someone When They’re Down

Chapter 976: Chapter 976: Kicking Someone When They’re Down

Chen Xishan squinted her eyes, "Miss Su, are you trying to push me to death?"

She asked again, "Can’t you be a bit more merciful?"

Su Ruanruan chuckled softly.

She countered, "Su Nuan died tragically, why wasn’t Madam Xishan merciful?"

Chen Xishan’s heart trembled.

Su Nuan... she remembered, that sick girl.

She wanted to say something more.

Su Ruanruan’s gentle voice came over from the other side, "Madam Xishan, you might as well start counting the days. Once seven days pass, you’ll have no place to stand in Yangcheng!"

Chen Xishan was not reconciled.

She retorted sarcastically, "Miss Su, you’re gloating too early."

But the call was already disconnected, the receiver emitting a beep... beep... beep... sound.

Each beep sounded like a death knell.

Chen Xishan slumped into the leather chair.

After a moment, she regained her senses and immediately dialed numerous numbers, seeking help.

Those elite ladies she was once on good terms with all suddenly either had matters to attend to or deaths at home.

No one was willing to help.

Chen Xishan threw the phone.

Her fingers trembled as she lit a cigarette and called for Manager Wang.

Manager Wang was also anxious.

As soon as he entered, he said, "All the major newspapers are reporting about Mrs. Zhou withdrawing her investment! I’ve already tried to suppress the news, sent red envelopes to those media, but it’s just not working."

Manager Wang brought more bad news.

He said, "Those retail investors are all clamoring for refunds, what do you suggest we do?"

Chen Xishan took a heavy drag of her cigarette.

She said, "Make them line up, refund them first! Tell our staff to work a bit slower and close immediately at closing time!"

Manager Wang nodded.

He said, "That’s the only way! But what about Mrs. Zhou’s two billion in funds?" 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Chen Xishan leaned back.

She quietly smoked.

After a moment, she said to Manager Wang, "I’ll find a way! You go out and stabilize the retail investors outside first."

Manager Wang nodded and left.

After finishing her cigarette, Chen Xishan got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, pulling open the blinds.

She saw the long queue at the entrance of the Huo Bank Headquarters, just as bustling as usual.

Only yesterday, these people came to deposit money.

Today, they came to withdraw money.

Chen Xishan suddenly recalled a saying: When the tree falls, everyone pushes!

She didn’t dare to look any longer, leaving through the side door and returning to the Huo Mansion.

Old Master Huo already knew the news.

He was cursing Mrs. Zhou for being ungrateful and Su Ruanruan for being as cunning as a monkey!

Huo Shaojun and his wife, Huo Shaoting and his wife were all present.

None of them uttered a word.

When Chen Xishan returned, Old Master Huo was talking to the grand young madam, "Xiruo, wasn’t that Miss Su treating you? You should have some connection, why not talk to her?"

The grand young madam smiled weakly.

She said, "Dad, this time, it’s obvious Miss Su is targeting Xishan, how could I have that kind of influence?"

Old Master Huo was disappointed.

He placed his hope on his second son.

Huo Shaoting refused.

He said, "I’m not capable enough, I don’t want to make an enemy of Miss Su."

Old Master Huo scolded, "Look at you, disgraceful! Did I really give birth to you?"

Chen Xishan, dragging her weary body, walked over to sit down, her eyes vacant.

After a long time, she finally spoke, "If we can’t gather two billion by tomorrow, the Huo Bank is finished!"

She glanced around and then chuckled softly, "If it collapses, don’t talk about wealth and glory, even this mansion won’t be saved!"

By saying this, she naturally wanted others to share her difficulties.

But the Huo family was full of smart people.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Su Ruanruan was targeting Chen Xishan. Did she expect others to clean up her mess? Dream on!

Old Master Huo was the first to speak, "Xishan, don’t you have two billion in private funds? Deposit it into our bank to handle the emergency first?"
