Chapter 6: Making a Bet

Xiao Churan's statement left the entire Xiao family dumbfounded!

Everyone thought that Xiao Churan must be crazy!

There is a time and place to show off! Showing off at this time, what result other than death could it bring?

The Emgrand Group is the largest company in Jinling. How could they possibly look at the Xiao family? No matter who goes to negotiate, the outcome could never be successful!

Xiao Hailong couldn't help but mock: "Churan, do you think you can get a contract from the Emgrand Group?"

Xiao Hailong's younger sister, also Xiao Churan's cousin, Xiao Weiwei, also sneered at this moment: "Sister Churan, what is your status, and what is the status of the Emgrand Group? If you go there so rashly, don't disgrace our Xiao family!"

Someone echoed: "Exactly, if she gets kicked out by the Emgrand Group, our Xiao family would definitely become a laughingstock in Jinling!"

Hearing this, Xiao Churan's cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Since marrying Ye Chen, her status in the family had plummeted, and she was increasingly marginalized, almost being squeezed out. Even her parents were ridiculed.

She felt that if she could secure this project with the Emgrand Group, her status within the family would be solidified.

Most importantly, her parents would be able to hold their heads high.

But being mocked by so many people at this moment made her feel like retreating.

She gave Ye Chen an angry glare, thinking how she had been swayed by his instigation. If she had known, she wouldn't have volunteered.

Old Mrs. Xiao was very angry hearing everyone's words.

Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author's consent. Report any sightings.

She had asked several times, and no one dared to take on this task. Now that Xiao Churan had volunteered, these people started pouring cold water!

Although Old Mrs. Xiao had never liked Xiao Churan, at this moment, she felt that at least Xiao Churan was willing to share her worries, unlike others who only knew how to add trouble!

Especially her most beloved grandson, Xiao Hailong, who had really disappointed her!

Because of this, Old Mrs. Xiao's attitude towards Xiao Churan also changed a lot.

So she immediately said, "If the others don't dare to accept it, don't talk nonsense! This time the cooperation with the Emgrand Group will be handled by Churan!"

Xiao Churan could only bite the bullet and reply, "Grandma, don't worry, I will do my best."

At this time, Xiao Hailong sneered coldly from his nose: "What’s the use of doing your best? In the end, failure will still disgrace the family!"

Ye Chen sneered and asked, "Xiao Hailong, what is your purpose in belittling Churan? Do you think the Xiao family is not qualified to cooperate with the Emgrand Group?"

Xiao Hailong didn't expect that this trash Ye Chen would dare to speak up in the family meeting, and immediately put him on the spot.

Seeing Old Mrs. Xiao's somewhat angry expression, he immediately explained: "That's not what I mean. I just think Xiao Churan can't possibly secure this cooperation."

Ye Chen smiled and asked him: "Then what if Churan can secure the cooperation? How about we make a bet?"

Xiao Hailong sneered: "Sure, a bet it is. Do you think I’m afraid of you? What do you want to bet?"

Ye Chen said, "If Churan gets the contract, you kneel down and kowtow to me three times in front of the whole family, and loudly say you were wrong. If Churan can't get it, I'll kneel down and kowtow to you three times, and loudly say I was wrong. How about that?"

"Hahaha!" Xiao Hailong immediately burst into laughter: "You trash are really seeking death! Fine, I'll bet with you!"

Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Everyone in the family bears witness. Whoever goes back on their word will have their parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents die!"

Ye Chen deliberately emphasized the words "great-grandparents" heavily to prevent Xiao Hailong from going back on his word when he lost.

These words made Xiao Hailong not dare to go back on his word, because if he did, wouldn't it be like cursing his grandmother, Old Mrs. Xiao, to die? At that time, Old Mrs. Xiao wouldn't let him off!

"Good!" Xiao Hailong didn't realize that Ye Chen had set a trap for him. Instead, he felt that he couldn't possibly lose.

So, he laughed and said, "The whole family bears witness. I'll be waiting for you to kowtow to me!"

Xiao Churan was startled and kept giving him looks, but he completely ignored them.

Old Mrs. Xiao didn't take this bet to heart. The only thing she cared about was whether they could get on the Emgrand Group's cooperation list. If they could, she wouldn't mind even if Xiao Hailong had to kowtow to Ye Chen or even call Ye Chen "Dad."

So she said, "Today's meeting ends here. Churan, you have three days to get the contract. Meeting adjourned!"

......

Back home, the parents-in-law immediately lashed out at Ye Chen and Xiao Churan.

Mother-in-law Ma Lan was anxious and exclaimed, "Churan, are you crazy? How can you listen to this trash Ye Chen and foolishly accept this task!"

Father-in-law Xiao Changkun also scolded Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, you trash, you've ruined my daughter!"

Then, with an angry face, he said, "If Churan can't secure the cooperation with the Emgrand Group, she will be marginalized by the family. And you, this trash, will have to kneel and kowtow to Xiao Hailong in front of the whole family. Won't you embarrass me completely?"

Ye Chen said seriously, "Dad, Mom, as long as Churan can secure the contract, everything will be resolved, won't it?"

"Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate! Negotiate my ass!"

Father-in-law scolded angrily, "Do you know how powerful the Emgrand Group is? How could they possibly look at the Xiao family?"

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Maybe they might? I believe Churan can definitely secure the contract."

Mother-in-law sneered on the side, "You believe? Do you think you are the boss of the Emgrand Group? Trash, you're useless, yet you talk big here!"
