Billionaire's Adorable Sweet Wife-Chapter 977: Young Master, It’s Time for Your Medicine

Chapter 977: Chapter 977: Young Master, It’s Time for Your Medicine

Chen Xishan forced a bitter smile.

She said, "Even after gathering Madam Zhou’s funds, Su Ruanruan still has 20 billion to spend. What are we supposed to do?"

The grand young madam of the Huo Family spoke up.

She remained as gentle as usual, saying, "Xishan, you’ve been too careless. If you weren’t so greedy, you wouldn’t have led the Huo Family into this situation."

Her words gave Old Master Huo his cue.

He reproached Chen Xishan, telling her to clean up her own mess!

The Huo Family members joined in, one word from this person, another from that...

Chen Xishan listened numbly.

She only knew that no one wanted to help her.

*

The meeting dispersed.

She caught up with Huo Shaoting, gently calling, "Shaoting!"

Huo Shaoting turned around.

He quietly observed her, his gaze devoid of love or hate.

Chen Xishan pleaded with him, "Shaoting, please help me. I know you have some resources! I’m begging you, for Xige and Lingge’s sake!"

Huo Shaoting lowered his gaze.

He said, "Chen Xishan, if you had accumulated some goodwill in normal times, you wouldn’t be facing this today."

Chen Xishan was stunned.

When she regained her senses, Huo Shaoting had already walked far away.

She returned to the inner courtyard in a daze, where Lu’er cautiously poured tea for her.

Chen Xishan held the teacup, taking half an hour to finish half a cup, then said hoarsely, "Help me inventory the valuables and see how much can be gathered!"

Lu’er cried.

She secretly wiped her tears and then went to tally—

The bank books, combined with jewelry and stocks, totaled just over 10 billion.

Chen Xishan calculated that with these plus some bank funds, she could handle Madam Zhou tomorrow...

But what about afterward?

Su Ruanruan’s 20 billion hung like a sword over her head...

Chen Xishan made countless phone calls again.

No one helped her.

At night, the Western clock struck, dong... dong...

Not too few, not too many, exactly seven times.

Chen Xishan covered her head, telling Lu’er, "Throw it out... throw it out..."

...

From that day on, she became time-dazed!

After dealing with Madam a posteriori, left with nothing, rumors spread about the imminent collapse of Huo Family Bank.

She barely held on for three days.

Huo Family Bank couldn’t even manage dividends for small investors...

Chen Xishan’s energy was exhausted.

Old Master Huo truly panicked now, declaring, "Whoever can save the Huo Family will replace Chen Xishan!"

The Huo Family people were intrigued.

In the backyard, the grand young madam carefully prepared an elegant gift.

She intended to visit Su Ruanruan!

Huo Shaojun entered, surprised to see his wife heading out with a small suitcase, "Where are you going?"

The grand young madam paused.

She gently said to her husband, "Now, the life and death of Huo Family Bank are in Miss Su’s hands. I am somewhat acquainted with her; I wish to ask her for help."

Huo Shaojun leaned back in his chair.

After a brief consideration, he said to his wife, "I think it’s difficult! You didn’t assist her when she faced difficulties before; how can she help you now?"

The grand young madam smiled, "Miss Su is a businesswoman! She’ll eventually need a partner! Shaoting and his wife are too gentle; they’re destined for no great achievements."

Huo Shaojun said nothing more.

He loved his wife, so he indulged her.

After the grand young madam left, a young maid came in, carrying a bowl of nourishing soup.

She said, "The grand young madam instructed you to drink this."

Huo Shaojun took it, slightly furrowing his brow, "I’ve been drinking this for years now; I’m sick of the taste!"

The young maid covered her mouth with a laugh, "This is a token of the grand young madam’s care!"

Remembering his wife’s tenderness and thoughtfulness, Huo Shaojun smiled, pinching his nose and drinking it all.

After finishing, he asked, "Is your grand young madam’s medicine ready yet?"

The young maid was quick-witted.

She said, "The grand young madam takes it every day."

Huo Shaojun lay back.

He felt a bit disappointed: Miss Su had been treating Xiruo for quite some time, they had frequent dealings lately, yet there was still no news about Xiruo’s pregnancy.
