Let's Squander A Billion First!-Chapter 1482: Bankrupt CEO (28)

Jinn Xiu returned with some things, Chuzheng was watching TV, Madam Liu Hanshan was looking at her phone, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Jinn Xiu returned, Madam Liu Hanshan put down her phone and got up to help in the kitchen.

"Honey, go buy a bottle of soy sauce for Mom."

Chuzheng turned her head to look at her, walked over in her slippers, and opened the cabinet, taking out an unopened bottle of soy sauce.

Liu Hanshan: "..."

Liu Hanshan took a deep breath: "Go buy vinegar."

Chuzheng continued to take out a bottle of vinegar: "It’s not even finished yet, are you using vinegar like water?"

Madam Liu Hanshan almost slapped her.

Jinn Xiu quickly pushed Chuzheng out: "Go downstairs and buy some fruit, I just forgot."

"Why didn’t you forget yourself?"

Chuzheng didn’t really want to go, going downstairs was troublesome, finally having the chance to be a couch potato, and she’s being asked to buy fruit!

Who needs fruit!

Liu Hanshan: "..."

Suddenly, all was balanced.

Jinn Xiu coaxed Chuzheng outside, knowing Madam Liu Hanshan had something to say to him and didn’t want Chuzheng to hear.

Liu Hanshan rolled up her sleeves, saying: "CEO Jinn..."

"Auntie, just call me Jinn Xiu." Jinn Xiu quickly said: "Auntie, let me help."

"No worry." Liu Hanshan took out the vegetables, saying: "I just had a chat with Zhengzheng, she seems to like you very much."

Jinn Xiu: "..."

Jinn Xiu dared not say yes, nor dared to say no.

"You fell from such a high position, yet in a short time, you managed to pull yourself together, Auntie still has high hopes for you."

Many people, once having failed, never recover.

Jinn Xiu: "Thank you, Auntie, I’ll earn money as soon as I can."

Liu Hanshan glanced at him: "I only have Zhengzheng as a daughter, to be honest, if she really wants to be with you, there’s nothing Auntie can do."

"..."

Liu Hanshan continued: "If you really end up with my daughter, all her family assets would be yours."

"Auntie... I can earn money myself." He wasn’t after the money.

Liu Hanshan laughed: "Auntie believes in you."

Jinn Xiu: "..."

Facing a future mother-in-law is indeed the most terrifying thing in the world.

"Actually..." Jinn Xiu paused: "If it weren’t for little... Chuzheng, maybe I wouldn’t be like this now. I really appreciate her, so I’ll treat her well."

After the bankruptcy, what did he face? Mockery, sarcasm, ridicule... people who once treated him with utmost respect now flaunting superiority.

This is reality...

He’s just an ordinary person, having experienced the double blow of betrayal by a brother and bankruptcy, under such circumstances, how could he pull himself together?

But luckily...

His little companion appeared at the right time.

Serving as a guiding light in the Dark, preventing him from being swallowed by darkness.

Liu Hanshan was wary: "Did my daughter give you money?" Could it really be for money?

"..."

Jinn Xiu’s startup funds were not provided by Chuzheng, although Chuzheng did give him some before, but the amount wasn’t significant.

In front of the mother-in-law, Jinn Xiu still couldn’t fully hold his head high.

-

Jinn Xiu made most of the dishes, after Liu Hanshan finished eating, she praised Jinn Xiu a few more times.

After all, men who can cook, and cook so well, are rare nowadays.

Not to mention Jinn Xiu used to be a CEO, now he’s wearing an apron and cooking for her daughter, not something an average person can do.

Jinn Xiu was grateful he took time these past few months to learn culinary skills.

When Liu Hanshan left, she pulled Chuzheng aside to remind her at length before departing.

Jinn Xiu was tidying up while talking to Chuzheng: "Honey, don’t just sit, get up and walk around, or you’ll feel uncomfortable later."

Chuzheng: "Why are you calling me like my mom?"

Jinn Xiu chuckled softly: "If not calling you Honey, shall I call you Baby?"

Chuzheng: "..."

Chuzheng didn’t deny it, which was tacit consent.

"Speaking of which, you always call me by name." Most of the time Chuzheng referred to him as ’Jinn Xiu’, occasionally calling him CEO Jinn or Mr. Jinn.

In such cases... generally indicating she’s displeased, angry, or in front of outsiders.

"Names are meant to be called, what else should I call you?" Baby? I can’t say that, a big guy needs his pride.

Jinn Xiu thought about his name, there didn’t seem to be many variations, so he let it go. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Jinn Xiu would remain Jinn Xiu.

Once Jinn Xiu finished tidying up, Chuzheng was already lying on the sofa.

"Didn’t I tell you to get up and walk around?" Jinn Xiu pulled her up: "Come on, be careful not to put on weight."

"There’s no way I’ll gain weight."

"That’s not certain." Jinn Xiu helped her put on her slippers and pulled her up: "If my little friend gains weight, she’d be a little pig."

Chuzheng grumbled: "You’re the pig." Your whole family is pigs... wait, the whole family includes me, your whole family except me are pigs!

Jinn Xiu thought for a moment: "I should count as a keeper, right?"

Shameless!

Whose clothes are you wearing, whose food are you eating... everything here is mine, if anyone’s being kept, I’m the one keeping you!

Chuzheng noticed Jinn Xiu pulling her toward the door and asked defensively: "Where are you taking me!!"

"Just to take a walk downstairs, you haven’t been out all day."

"..."

What’s wrong with not going out for a day!!

I can stay inside for a month!

Chuzheng clung to the door, refusing to go out.

"Just half an hour’s walk."

No!

Jinn Xiu directly carried her out the door, closing the apartment door.

He happened to have some time today, but won’t have it tomorrow to accompany her.

The greenery below the apartment was quite nice, almost like a little park, with lush vegetation, cool and comfortable.

There weren’t many people living in the apartment, so it was quite deserted.

Jinn Xiu urged Chuzheng to walk a lap, and once done, she sat on a bench.

If you weren’t my Good Person Card, I’d have beaten you up long ago!

"Baby." Jinn Xiu sat next to her: "Why did you bring me home back then?"

Chuzheng narrowed her eyes: "If I didn’t bring you home, who would you go home with?"

"I’m asking why you wanted to bring me back, at that time I was just a stranger to you, right?"

Jinn Xiu knew Liu Hanshan and also knew Wen Hongyi.

But they merely encountered each other at events, heard names in meetings, but never had deep connections.

With her, even less of an intersection.

Chuzheng’s tone was cold: "No."

"Hm?" Jinn Xiu was puzzled: "No what?"

"Not a stranger."

We weren’t strangers.

"Did you know me before... Baby..."

Jinn Xiu got up to follow Chuzheng.

"Did you know me before?"

"No."

"Then why aren’t we strangers?"

The girl turned her head, threateningly: "I say no means no, if you keep babbling!" I’ve explained and you can’t understand, wasting my time.

Jinn Xiu: "..."

Getting on the elevator, Jinn Xiu swiped it and said: "Baby, did you have a crush on me before."

"You’re imagining things."
