Quick Transmigration: The Mad Beauty Refuses to Be the Scapegoat!-Chapter 289 - 27: The Disabled Tycoon’s Ex-Wife Refuses to Be a Scapegoat (27)
Now it has come to the point where Jiang Lai is begging for money to invest.
Tao Xinzhu smiled confidently.
"Do you know how much investment is laid out before me for me to choose from now? I accepted your investment before only because of the affection from our childhood. Now I can give you another chance, return the shares, and I can continue to let you make money."
"What a pity, besides you, quite a few people want my money. By tonight, pay me the principal and interest, and once I receive the money, the things you mortgaged with me will be returned naturally."
"Heh, Jiang Lai, I will make you regret one day."
The last sentence gave Jiang Lai a chill, the kind that almost made goosebumps pop out all over his body. Such a dim-witted opponent left Jiang Lai at a loss for words.
The first thing Tao Xinzhu did after returning to the company from school was to repay the debt. He looked at the numbers on the account, realizing almost everything was drawn out but still not enough to cover the debt and interest.
He had long spent the money on core technology and salaries, always thinking there should still be a lot left in the account. But once he calmly checked, he found out that both the company’s and the investment money were almost spent.
But the debt to Jiang Lai had to be paid back, principal and interest, completely sever ties with Jiang Lai, so when Tao Xin Medical becomes the number one in the industry, Jiang Lai will certainly regret today’s actions.
Thinking of this, Tao Xinzhu sought out Mike again, hoping he could lend him more money.
"Money is not an issue, the same old line, bring something to exchange." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞
Tao Xinzhu had nothing much left to exchange, his shares were entirely mortgaged. The only shares left were in Jiang Lai’s hands, and he would have to repay the money first to redeem that three percent of the shares.
Having already made harsh remarks, just the thought of Jiang Lai’s arrogant face made Tao Xinzhu impatient. Since he had nothing left to mortgage, he’d mortgage his mother’s shares. After all, his mother’s shares would eventually be his; using them now wouldn’t matter.
Thus, Tao Xinzhu pleaded with his mother, mortgaging seven percent of her shares, borrowing 350 million from Mike, and paid Jiang Lai back that night.
After paying off Jiang Lai’s money, Tao Xinzhu felt like he had cleared all his debts, his face glowing with much spirit.
That day at school, Tao Xinzhu ran into Jiang Ruantian again. After a long separation, the two greeted each other, and seeing Jiang Ruantian’s sweet smile, Tao Xinzhu directly invited her.
"Wanna have dinner together tonight?"
"Sure, what do you want to eat? My treat."
"Let’s go to that Italian restaurant beside the school, went there with your sister before."
After the dishes arrived, Tao Xinzhu proactively added Jiang Ruantian’s contact details and additionally asked the waiter to change her drink to warm water.
"Are you always this considerate with girls?"
"Am I? Isn’t that what guys are supposed to do?"
Jiang Ruantian looked at him, recalling Jiang Lai’s close interactions with him, then instinctively thought of Mo Zhoujing’s cold attitude towards her, so she smiled faintly.
"I’ve always envied my sister."
"Why?"
"Because she had a gentle childhood friend like you. Many girls must like you, right?"
Tao Xinzhu chuckled upon hearing her words.
"What’s so funny?"
"I laugh at your silliness. You’re so excellent, yet you envy others. You have many qualities your sister doesn’t have, don’t belittle yourself. In fact, I think you’re even more adorable than Jiang Lai."
Jiang Ruantian lowered her eyes, a shy smile on her face.
Tao Xinzhu was warm and intellectual. Thinking of an outstanding boy like him being Jiang Lai’s childhood playmate would definitely make Jiang Lai’s already privileged childhood settings even more like a fairy tale with a caring older brother.
What more could Jiang Lai ask for?
Clearly, as siblings, her childhood was only filled with the runny-nosed bullies that teased and taunted her. Compared to Jiang Lai, she lost so much more.
"Is the food not to your liking?"
"Not at all, it’s delicious."
"That’s good. Oh right, I didn’t get the chance to give you a gift for your birthday last time. Let me make it up this time, or I’d be embarrassed to greet you next time I see you."
Jiang Ruantian smiled discreetly, nodding in a generous and cheerful manner.
"In that case, would you accompany me to see a movie? A new film just released, and I can’t find anyone to watch it with me."
"Sure, I’d be honored."
After watching the movie, the sky had gone dark. Tao Xinzhu took off his coat and draped it over Jiang Ruantian, then made an excuse to visit the restroom.
Returning, he came back with a bag in his hand.
After watching the movie, Jiang Ruantian got into Tao Xinzhu’s car. The two chatted and laughed all the way back to the Jiang Family villa. Before Jiang Ruantian got off the car, Tao Xinzhu handed her the bag beside him.
"I noticed your wrist was bare, consider this a belated birthday present."
When Jiang Ruantian looked down, she found an upscale lady’s wristwatch, obviously bought at the mall just now. Both the style and color perfectly matched Jiang Ruantian’s taste.
"It’s beautiful, thank you."
"My pleasure. It’s getting late, you should hurry back so your parents don’t worry."
After watching Jiang Ruantian return home, Tao Xinzhu glanced at the Jiang Family villa before him and curled his mouth into a cold smile.
What’s Jiang Lai compared to Jiang Ruantian, who is far superior to him?
Watching Tao Xinzhu’s car slowly drive away, Jiang Ruantian looked at the watch on her wrist, a smile she couldn’t hide on her face.
It’s a pity that Tao Xinzhu was excellent in every way, except for his family’s average background.
Why can’t Mo Zhoujing be as gentle as Tao Xinzhu? Even if it’s only half as understanding.
The truth proves she’s no less than Jiang Lai, so why is Mo Zhoujing always so cold to her? Despite her efforts to please and beg, that man wouldn’t give her a second glance.
What kind of spell did Jiang Lai cast on him?
That he still can’t get over it until now!
Does she really have to watch them get married just like in the dream, then wait for a divorce to have her turn?
Not long after washing up, Tao Xinzhu took the initiative to send a message inquiring after her.
[You didn’t look well today, remember to ask aunty to make you some red date soup tonight, drink it and go to bed early]
Jiang Ruantian curled her lips.
[Thank you, are you this gentle to all girls?]
[I’m not that bored; I’m only kind to the girls I like]
Jiang Ruantian couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
[If you say so, what does that make Jiang Lai? A scumbag?]
[I only see Jiang Lai as a sister, a neighbor’s little sister I grew up with]
