Chapter 99: We Are Saved

"Sis, what happened next? What happened next?" 

"Then Yunyan directly said that our Xu family has real estate, and that we should take charge! Mr. Ai said he needed 300 billion to start, but Yunyan said money wasn't a problem; the Xu family could borrow it. So, they just settled it like that. Before leaving, Yunyan told me that at the latest, someone from Mr. Ai's side would contact Dad within a month!" Xu Yiru said calmly. 

But the five people around her were anything but calm. Xu Daqiang stared blankly at Xu Yiru for a while and finally asked, "Daughter, are you saying this project, Yunyan said we have real estate, and just like that, we got it? Isn't this project taken over by Ai Hongcheng?" 

"Yes!" 

"Oh my God! Oh my God! Ah!!!!!!!!!! Honey! Our Xu family is saved! Do you know what this means? Daughter, you really are Dad's lucky star! The Xu family finally has hope!" Xu Daqiang was so emotional that tears streamed down his face! 

It wasn't just Xu Daqiang; even Xu Yaowei and Xu Yaoyang were excited. They heard Ai Hongcheng mention a multi-trillion investment at the meeting but never expected such a huge investment would directly go to the Xu family, and that Ai Hongcheng would agree without hesitation! 

"Wow! What kind of relationship do these two have? Such a big project just handed to us like this! Just the news of those cooperation projects could turn the Xu family's fortunes around, and the profits from so many projects could help us return to our peak, or even better than before!" Xu Yaowei shouted in excitement. The Xu Group had poured so much effort into it, and now they finally saw a chance; they couldn't contain their emotions! 

"By the way, Yunyan also told me he has a large project planned for a jewelry store and luxury goods, and he wants me to be in charge. But I worry because I'm from the Xu family…" 

"Daughter! If you want to go, just go! Be happy, don't worry at all. We can all see that silly Shang Yunyan really likes you, and you're interested in him too, right? So you two should give it a try!" 

Hearing Xu Daqiang's words, Xu Yiru's face instantly turned red. Her dad spoke so directly; she was still a girl! How could she face this? 

"Yes, sis, Yunyan has great qualities! I mean in every way! Plus, I can see he's dedicated. If you two confirm your relationship, I bet when that Zhao girl was being all boastful today, Yunyan would have hit her!" 

"Uh… maybe let's not resort to violence! Alright, let me finish. About the jewelry store, Yunyan asked whether our Xu family wants to join in!" 

"Yiru, I'll talk to Yunyan in person about this. The problem now is that we need to raise 300 billion in a short time, and that's a bit overwhelming!" 

"Dad, it's not that overwhelming. Think about it, the reason Ai Hongcheng could agree to Yunyan giving the Xu family support is that he believed in Yunyan's words about being able to borrow money, thinking we have Yunyan's backing. So, he didn't hesitate to give it to us. And Yunyan's words also meant to tell us that he has money to lend! So, we just need to ask Yunyan directly! When the money comes back, we can pay him back!" 

Hearing Xu Yaowei's words, Xu Daqiang sighed. That's the only way forward, but the Xu family had caused Yunyan too much trouble lately, making it hard for him to bring it up! 

"Daughter! Find a time to chat with Yunyan and establish your relationship!" 

"Dad! What are you talking about? What relationship? Ugh, why are you all like this? That Ai Hongcheng keeps calling him 'brother-in-law,' it's driving me crazy! I'm going to take a shower and sleep!" The way Xu Yiru blushed showed her embarrassment, and her frustrated expression was downright hilarious! 

After Xu Yiru went upstairs, the three Xu brothers exchanged glances with their parents, marveling at how lucky the Xu family was to have such a daughter. Plus, Shang Yunyan and Xu Yiru actually liked each other; that was real fate! 

"Dad! Tomorrow, let's take Yiru to No. 13, chat with Yunyan, and express our gratitude. But don't mention the relationship between Yiru and Yunyan; they need some experiences and challenges to get along well!" Xu Yaoyang suggested. 

"I know! It wasn't easy chasing after your mom! Back then, I had to swallow my pride and go to the Xiao Corporation building every day!" 

"What're you telling the kids that for? Let me handle it! Your dad was quite shameless back then! He took advantage of being the only heir of the Xu family, bringing me food every day! The food back then was way better than now! I went from 103 pounds to 114 pounds; I had suitors lining up, but in the end, only your dad was left! That's why I married him!" 

"Dad was impressive; he knew tactics even back then!" 

The family chatted harmoniously… 

Half an hour after Shang Yunyan got home, he contacted Ai Hongcheng, who was also home, and arranged for three large bags of Tianzhan Dahongpao to be delivered to Ai Hongcheng's villa by a super transport aircraft!
