The Hidden Dragon In-Law-Chapter 72 – Never possible

Robert Xiao felt a buzzing in his head, a surge of jealousy rushing straight to his brain.

He hadn't even touched Linda Dong's hand, yet here she was, being undressed by a stranger, who was also rubbing and pressing on her thigh. Who knows if he had touched even more private areas!

How could he accept this!

Robert Xiao, burning with jealousy, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't think this guy was trying to save you at all. He was just taking advantage of the situation to molest you!"

As soon as Robert Xiao spoke, all the Xiao Family members turned their attention to Linda Dong.

Everyone thought the same thing.

A beautiful woman, lying disheveled in front of a strange man, letting him touch her—this scenario was bound to provoke wild imaginations.

Linda Dong was so furious she was trembling. She was utterly disappointed in Robert Xiao!

Not only had he run away first, but now he was maliciously speculating about her in front of so many people. This wasn't just unkind; it was downright shameless!

Linda Dong coldly said, "Robert Xiao, the person who saved me didn't do anything inappropriate. I took off my own pants! It has nothing to do with you!"

Then, gritting her teeth, she cursed, "But you, Robert Xiao, everything that happened tonight was because of you. When the other side came for revenge, you ran so fast, leaving me behind to get stabbed. And now you have the nerve to say this? Do you have any shame?"

Robert Xiao was speechless, his face turning bright red.

Linda Dong didn't even look at him. She got up and left the hospital room, hailed a cab, and went back to her hotel.

The Xiao Family members were stunned. No one had expected the truth to be like this!

It was Robert Xiao who caused the trouble and then abandoned Linda Dong, leading to her getting stabbed...

As soon as Linda Dong left, Old Madame Xiao slapped Robert Xiao across the face in anger.

Robert Xiao was dazed by the slap. The old lady scolded, "How have I taught you? I told you to win over Linda Dong, and what did you do? You left her to save yourself. How could she ever like you after such a beastly act?"

"Grandma, I was wrong," Robert Xiao said, holding his burning cheek, suddenly realizing his mistake and regretting it deeply.

Only now did he understand that he and Linda Dong would never be possible!

...

James Ye returned home without telling his wife about what had happened that night.

His wife also knew nothing about Linda Dong's ordeal.

After all, Mary Xiao's family had always been ostracized by Old Madame Xiao, so they weren't allowed to live in the Xiao Family villa and naturally had no way of knowing these things.

The next morning, as soon as Mary Xiao got up, she received a call from Old Madame Xiao.

The old lady said to her, "Mary, you need to go to Tianhao Building Materials Group today and try to talk to their boss about giving us a million worth of materials on credit. We'll pay them back once we get the payment from Dihao Group."

Mary quickly said, "Grandma, Tianhao Building Materials Group is a big business. They have a lot of leverage and never offer credit."

The old lady said, "There's no other way. The Xiao Family is having some cash flow issues. We can't afford such high costs upfront, and getting a loan is difficult. We can only try to work something out with Tianhao Building Materials Group."

Then she added, "Mary, the family is in trouble, and your cousin is useless. We can only rely on you now. Try to talk to George Zhou, the boss of Tianhao Building Materials Group. If he agrees, we'll have a chance!"

Mary hesitated for a moment but reluctantly agreed, "Okay, Grandma, I'll give it a try."

"Good!" Old Madame Xiao sighed in relief and said, "Grandma believes you can do it!"

After hanging up the phone, Mary felt a bit melancholic.

James couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

Mary explained the situation to James.

James nodded and said, "Why not talk to Dihao Group and ask them to advance two million for the project?"

Mary quickly said, "That's not possible. We're already punching above our weight by working with Dihao Group. If we ask them for an advance, they'll look down on us."

James wanted to say, "Dihao Group belongs to your husband. What's two million? Who would dare look down on you?"

But Mary didn't know that.

She said, "I'll go talk to Mr. Zhou instead."

James said, "I'll go with you."

"That's not appropriate," Mary said. "Who brings their husband to business meetings? It looks unprofessional."

She added, "You stay home. If you're bored, go out for a walk. There's nothing much to do at home anyway."

Seeing her firm attitude, James didn't say more.

He knew his wife was always independent and liked to handle things on her own.

So he decided to let her try. If it didn't work out, he would step in to help secretly.

...

After breakfast, Mary arranged a meeting with George Zhou, the boss of Tianhao Building Materials Group, and drove there alone.

Tianhao Building Materials Group was one of the largest building materials companies in Jinling and Jiangnan, specializing in various aluminum alloy materials, essential for large real estate projects.

George Zhou had humble beginnings but got lucky by marrying into a powerful family. With his wife's family's help, he developed his business step by step.

However, George Zhou was known to be henpecked. Although his wife was extremely ugly, he never dared to fool around outside, earning him a good reputation locally as a man who didn't forget his roots.

Tianhao Building Materials Group was located in the suburbs, occupying thousands of acres with its massive factory.

When Mary arrived at Tianhao Building Materials Group, she went straight to the office building.

As she parked her car, she saw George Zhou waiting in the lobby.

Seeing her, George Zhou immediately put on a warm smile, walked up to her, and extended his hand, saying, "Ah, President Xiao, it's an honor to have you here. I apologize for not welcoming you sooner!"

Mary extended her hand for a polite shake and smiled, "Mr. Zhou, you're too kind."

As she tried to withdraw her hand, she found that George Zhou was holding on tightly.

Mary had to pull hard to free her hand, her expression turning wary. "Mr. Zhou, what is this?"

George Zhou quickly scratched his head and laughed, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I've always heard that President Xiao is stunning, and seeing you today, I was momentarily dazed. I apologize for my rudeness!"

Seeing his straightforward apology, Mary felt slightly reassured.
