In the Liu Family Villa's main hall, all of Ruyan's relatives were present!
Aunt Zhang Lan, Third Aunt Zhang Ya, Uncle Zhang Lin, Second Uncle Liu Fei, as well as a few male cousins, and Zhang Qian, who had previously jumped into the river. Although Zhang Qian had taken a bath and changed his clothes, the smell on him was still unpleasant, and he kept spraying perfume on himself.
Seeing Liu Ruyan enter the hall without Xu Hao by her side, everyone glanced at each other and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Earlier, when a fleet of cars suddenly arrived to pick up Xu Hao, everyone was somewhat worried that Xu Hao might actually go to the hotel and take Liu Ruyan away by force.
With no expression on her face, Liu Ruyan caught everyone's attention as Uncle Zhang Lin coughed and asked, "Ruyan, how did it go? Was it successful? Did Young Master Wu agree to invest, and how much does he plan to invest?"
The finances of Liu Corporation were under Liu Ruyan's control, and the only ones who knew about the company's account transactions were Liu Ruyan and her secretary Zhang Qian. Zhang Lin and the others had no idea what the company's account situation was like.
Liu Ruyan looked indifferently at the circle of relatives in the room, forcing herself to sleep with a scumbag, actually hoping to exchange her body for someone else's investment—Liu Ruyan couldn't help but feel it was somewhat ridiculous.
However, it was precisely because of these relatives' attitude that Liu Ruyan became even more determined about certain matters, "Get out!"
Liu Ruyan's face turned cold as she lashed out at the crowd, "Is this how you treat me, a weak woman? Uncle, Second Uncle... do you deserve to be called my elders? Get out, get out right now!"
"Ruyan, child, how can you talk like that? We all care about the survival of the company, the company is your brother-in-law's hard work!" Zhang Lan scolded Liu Ruyan with the demeanor of an elder.
Liu Ruyan let out a cold laugh, "Heh, caring about the company? Auntie, if you're so capable, why don't you go accompany other men? Second Uncle, Uncle, let your wives do it! And my older female cousin, my male cousin... don't you also have shares in the company? Why don't you go!"
Unintentionally, Liu Ruyan vented all the words Xu Hao used to curse with.
Zhang Ya and Zhang Lan looked at each other, "Fourth Sister, this child, she must have been stimulated... Ruyan, we won't ask anything else, did you sleep with him or not?"
"..." Liu Ruyan was speechless with anger. Was this her dear Third Aunt? Returning home, she didn't ask anything else, but actually cared about whether she was slept with by someone else? Infuriating!
Before Liu Ruyan could speak, at the entrance, Xu Hao's voice suddenly appeared, and he shouted, "Ruyan did sleep with someone, but you'll be disappointed to know—it was with me!"
With Xu Hao's sudden appearance, everyone's gaze turned to him in unison.
Zhang Qian was the first to jump up, pointing at Xu Hao and cursing loudly, "You scumbag, how dare you come back? Get the hell out!"
"Get out? If I remember correctly, wasn't it my wife who told you to get out? Or did I hear wrong? Cousin, how is the taste of the gutter water? If you dare to speak out of turn again, do you believe I'll let you experience the taste of the gutter again?" Xu Hao glared sharply at Zhang Qian, and his intimidating gaze made Zhang Qian shiver with fear, involuntarily taking two steps back.
An hour ago, Xu Hao had thrown a chair at Wu Yu, leaving him bloody. This Xu Hao, when crazy, was not to be trifled with.
Zhang Lin snorted coldly, "Xu Hao, Ruyan is going to divorce you, why are you even coming back? The Liu Family does not welcome you, just get lost!"
Xu Hao walked over to Liu Ruyan's side, put his arm around her slender waist, and said indifferently to Zhang Lin, "Whether the Liu Family welcomes me or not is not for you to decide! Uncle... no, I remember just now you seemed to call me 'Dad,' so I should call you 'my good son.' It's not right for you to tell Dad to get lost!"
Xu Hao's words were neither salty nor bland, but Zhang Lin's face turned ashen as he listened, "You rotten scum...you..."
Since Liu Ruyan had left earlier, she was completely unaware of what happened between Xu Hao and Zhang Lin afterward. Seeing Zhang Lin and Zhang Qian getting reproached until they were fuming, Liu Ruyan felt both schadenfreude and curiosity.
What on earth had happened before? Why did it look like Zhang Lin and his son were about to murder Xu Hao?
Zhang Lan and Zhang Ya, upon seeing Xu Hao, couldn't help but avert their eyes somewhat, their earlier arrogance somewhat subdued, "Ruyan, just tell us, did the company secure the investment or not?"
This was the concern of everyone present, after all, the Liu Corporation was a family-owned company where various aunts and uncles held no small number of shares. To put it bluntly, it was a family-dominated company.
Liu Ruyan, although feeling somewhat awkward from being affectionately held by Xu Hao, did not struggle free but let him hold her, "The investment was secured, but the investor isn't Wu Yu... You're all disappointed, aren't you? Heh heh, the investor happens to be Xu Hao, so I've decided to hold a board meeting at 2 PM to redistribute the shares!"
"What? Xu Hao is the investor? You must be joking!"
"Yeah, how much could that good-for-nothing invest? Ten yuan? Heh heh!"
...
At first, everyone sneered, but then they suddenly remembered Xu Hao sending out ten thousand yuan red envelopes in the family group chat, followed by a fleet of Ferraris. Could it be Xu Hao really did invest in the company?
As they considered this, their mocking tones abruptly lessened. Uncle Liu Fei tentatively asked Liu Ruyan, "Ruyan, how much money did Xu Hao invest?"
"250 million!" Liu Ruyan disclosed without reservation, including the 50 million that the Wu Family had compensated.
Hisss!
Everyone couldn't help but inhale sharply, 250 million was not a small sum.
"You're not joking, right? Xu Hao, he... does he have that much money?" Zhang Lin asked, his face a picture of shock as he glanced at Xu Hao, then exchanged looks with Liu Fei and the others.
250 million, if Xu Hao really invested such an amount, he would have to hold at least ten percent of the company's shares. And the original shares of Liu Fei, Zhang Lin, and others would be diluted to below five percent. With Xu Hao and Liu Ruyan joining forces, they could completely suppress Zhang Lin and the others.
The reason they tried to forcefully match Liu Ruyan with Wu Yu was to manipulate the situation to their advantage, hoping to use Wu Yu's foreign investment to push Liu Ruyan out of the picture.
But now, halfway through, Xu Hao had emerged, investing such a large sum!
Liu Ruyan didn't speak, Xu Hao took over, "Heh heh, I don't have that much money, but my classmate does! My classmate said that I'm fully in charge of his investment. Do you have any objections? Even if you do, just keep them to yourselves."
"You..." Liu Fei and Zhang Lin, among others, after hearing Xu Hao's words, got a slight understanding. So it wasn't Xu Hao's own money; it was his classmate's? That made things clear. His classmate even let Xu Hao be the sole person in charge. Now that was troublesome.
Zhang Lin snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and was the first to leave the Liu Family Villa hall. Once out of the hall, he immediately dialed Wu Yu's number, "Young Master Wu, what's happened? How could it be, after everything was arranged so well, that you failed to secure it?"
