Film and Television: Gaining a Charismatic Aura at the Start

Zhu Suosuo looked at Tang Xiaoxiao in surprise, not expecting her to take the initiative to greet her.

"What were you thinking about just now?"

"Are you wondering if Chairman Bai will still dote on you like before now that I'm here?"

"........."

Zhu Suosuo didn't speak, but she didn't shake her head either.

Tang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Silly sister, can you really withstand the impact of a dragon?"

"What do you mean?"

Isn't the meaning obvious?

"It means that if any one of us faces him alone, we will only be defeated by him."

"Only by uniting as one can we possibly defeat him."

"So don't think he'll treat you differently; to him, we're all the same."

"All we need to do is please him, and we don't need to worry about anything else."

"Do you understand, silly little sister!"

After Tang Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she caught up with the main group.

Zhu Suosuo was left standing there, pondering Tang Xiaoxiao's words.

"........."

Chapter 264: Almost Peeled My Clothes in Fright

The main hall of the Jiang family.

The once bustling hall was now crowded with burly men, especially the ones in the lead.

They were all incredibly obese, dressed in fine clothes, as if they were afraid others wouldn't know they were bad people.

In other words, they carry a briefcase under their arm and pretend to be social elites.

"Grandma Jiang, I'm telling you so much because I respect you as a member of the elite families of Shanghai."

"You shouldn't waste any more time here. Your son owes us tens of millions. If you settle this debt, you'll be fine."

"We brothers are leaving now, we won't block the door anymore."

"Otherwise, we won't survive, and your family won't have a good life either."

Among the crowd, the most presentable-looking person stepped forward to negotiate with Old Mrs. Jiang as her representative.

However, Old Mrs. Jiang's life experience of so many years was naturally something that a naive young man like him could not compare to.

They were led astray by just a few words from Old Mrs. Jiang.

He also knew that he couldn't out-talk Grandma Jiang.

They simply stopped acting and openly laid everything out in the open.

That's why Grandma Jiang fell silent.

The reason she went through all this trouble was because she didn't want them to talk so directly.

There's no room for maneuver now.

"What about my father's death?"

"If you hadn't relentlessly pursued him, would he have jumped off the building?"

"You still have the nerve to come asking us for money? Then give me back my father!"

Grandma Jiang was speechless, but Jiang Nansun exploded.

Although Jiang Pengfei was not a human being, he hoped to use her to gain profits from stocks.

But he was, after all, her father, who had raised her for over twenty years; people have hearts of flesh and blood.

She was heartbroken that he was gone just like that.

"Ms. Jiang, please think this through."

"Was it because we drove Mr. Jiang to his death, or was it because he was ignorant and incompetent, clearly didn't understand stocks, but insisted on playing the stock market, which led to this situation?"

"Speaking of which, wasn't Mr. Jiang's suicide related to your doting on him, Mrs. Jiang?"

"Don't put all the blame on us, you also bear responsibility!"

"In short, don't try to change the subject. Pay back your debts right now, or we'll resort to violent debt collection tactics."

Although he's a bit silly, he's not really stupid.

Jiang Nansun's answer was indeed correct; they had a share of the responsibility. If they hadn't been constantly pressing for payment, Jiang Pengfei wouldn't have jumped off the building.

But the root cause was probably brought on by Jiang Pengfei himself.

They were only in charge of lending money, so of course they had to collect the debt if Jiang Pengfei didn't repay it.

Besides, it's not that Jiang Pengfei is stupid and incompetent; he insisted on investing in stocks, and ended up losing more and more money.

He borrowed money from this and that, and now the entire Jiang family is ruined.

It wasn't like they forced Jiang Pengfei to take out a loan.

It was Jiang Pengfei who approached them, and they settled a lot of their debts in return.

There's nothing left except this little villa.

Even the Chiang family's company was mortgaged, and now the company is gone.

However, there are still many gaps, otherwise they wouldn't be making a scene here.

If they can't pay back the money, they'll have to put the Jiang family's villa up for sale in the trading house, according to the contract.

This was to fill their funding gap.

"Yes, that's right!"

"It's clearly a problem in your family."

"You're blaming us? We're loan sharks, not gangsters!"

The entire Jiang family hall was instantly filled with noise, all of them condemning Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Nansun.

The two of them turned pale instantly.

I don't know how to deal with the current situation.

However, they were unwilling to give up the house they had lived in for decades.

Jiang Nansun looked at the men around her, who were eyeing her and her grandmother with greedy eyes, and tears were already welling up in her eyes.

Who come save us!

The next moment, the door was opened from the outside.

Dozens of people filed in, completely surrounding the hall.

Seeing this, not only Jiang Nansun and Grandma Jiang were dumbfounded.

Even the debt collectors around were dumbfounded, thinking that the authorities had come to arrest loan sharks, and they all tried to flee.

As a result, they were easily defeated by a few punches and kicks.

Immediately, no one present dared to make a move.

They saw that these people weren't randomly arresting people, but instead quietly watching them from their side.

These people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems the person in charge hasn't arrived yet.

"It's been a long time, Grandma Jiang."

Without keeping everyone waiting, Bai Tianyu, Tang Xiaoxiao, and Zhu Suosuo entered the hall.

Looking at the pale-faced old lady sitting in the main seat, he smiled and greeted her.

Upon seeing that the visitor was Bai Tianyu, Grandma Jiang and Jiang Nansun breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Tianyu's arrival was definitely to help them; there's no doubt about that.

Jiang Nansun, in particular, was so happy that she wanted to rush into Bai Tianyu's arms immediately.

If Jiang Nansun still had some reservations before Zhang Anren completely refused to let her family seek refuge, then...

Now there are absolutely no more worries.

Needless to say, Zhang Anren's actions completely disappointed him.

She had nothing left to worry about.

The only one she needs to worry about is her best friend.

However, judging from Zhu Suosuo's behavior, she doesn't seem to be very resistant.

"Oh, it's Xiaobai. Oh, I'm sorry you had to see this."

"I'll leave the rest to you; I, the old woman, won't get involved."

Mrs. Jiang sighed.

She really doesn't have the energy to keep arguing with these people.

After getting rid of these people, they discussed how to repay Bai Tianyu.

"Okay, leave the rest to me."

"Grandma Jiang, you should go upstairs and rest. Suosuo, you and Nansun go upstairs together."

Bai Tianyu turned her head and gestured for Zhu Suosuo to go up and comfort them as well.

Zhu Suosuo nodded and went upstairs with Jiang Nansun and his grandson.
