Chapter 65: Chapter 65. Didn't Mu Xue like Dongfang Yu
Author: Joe Mai Machine Translation
"Enough!"
2Xi Yuancheng growled in exasperation. He didn't like to hear his wife complain so much.
2"What's the point of saying all that now? Huh? These things have already happened. It's too late for us to do anything else. Now, we should think of a way to raise money so we can pay Nangong Xun," Xi Yuancheng said.
2"Nangong Xun insisted on three hundred million?" Mu Ru asked.
2Mu Ru looked at her parents in confusion.
2She added, "Is there no room for negotiation?"
2"I talked to him for three hours yesterday. He said we should pay him at least two hundred million," Xi Yuancheng answered.
2Xi Yuancheng looked at Mu Ru weakly. He was so regretful because he knew he was largely to blame.
2"Actually, Nangong Xun didn't really say he wanted two hundred million. He just wanted you to marry him. The money is just icing on the cake for him," Xi Yuancheng said.
2"At least two hundred million?" Mu Ru asked again.
2Mu Ru frowned as she looked at her father.
2"Don't tell me the Xi family doesn't even have two hundred million," Mu Ru said.
2"Mu Ru, since you've said so much, I won't lie to you," Xi Yuancheng said as he gazed at Mu Ru.
2Xi Yuancheng sighed with a bitter smile.
2"Xi Empire may look impressive on the surface, but in reality, it's just a bag of chaff. Of the Xi Empire's shares, 35% are owned by The Oriental Group, and 45% of our shares are owned by private stockholders. Our real shares are only 20%. It's true that Xi Empire is worth a billion, but we ourselves own only two hundred million. However, if we sell our own shares, it might cause a huge drop in the value of the total shares, and it would be impossible to come up with two hundred million."
2Mu Ru knew that her father would not reveal everything to her. She felt that the Xi family's assets were worth more than two hundred million. However, she knew that they were not worth three hundred million.
2A selfish person like Xi Yuancheng would never force himself into a desperate situation. That was why he asked Du Xinyue to call Mu Ru. In fact, he was eyeing Dongfang Mo. He wanted to get money from Dongfang Mo.
2Xi Yuancheng was too embarrassed to ask Dongfang Mo for money. He knew that he had offended Dongfang Mo by letting Mu Ru marry him instead of Mu Xue, and as a result, Nangong Xun pulled out all his assets from the Dongfang Group. He hoped that Mu Ru would do the work and speak to Dongfang Mo for him.
2Mu Ru, however, knew that it was impossible. Dongfang Mo would never lend money to the Xi family for her sake. Moreover, she could not bring herself to face Dongfang Mo to talk to him about that matter.
2Seeing that Xi Yuancheng and Du Xinyue remained silent, Mu Ru thought for a moment and then said, "Don't you want to borrow money from Dongfang Yu?"
2She continued, "Doesn't Mu Xue like Dongfang Yu? Father, you can consider proposing marriage to the Dongfang family through Mu Xue. See if he can exchange it for two hundred million for you. After all, Mu Xue is very beautiful. She should be worth a lot more than me, right?"
2Xi Yuancheng was startled by Mu Ru's suggestion. Then, he clapped his hands and gave Mu Ru a thumbs-up. He looked at her with admiration.
2"You're so smart. Why didn't I think of that? Mu Ru, you're the smart one. You're the really the best," he said.
2Before Mu Ru could say anything, she heard someone scoff from behind her.
2Suddenly, Mu Xue appeared. She said, "What do you mean? She thought of that just now, but I've already thought of a way to solve it, and..."
2Mu Xue looked at everyone with a smug expression, as if she wanted to keep them guessing.
2"And what?" Du Xinyue asked.
2Du Xinyue was obviously a little anxious. She rolled her eyes at her daughter.
2"Mu Xue, hurry up and say it. Your father is dying of anxiety."
