Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, the old man immediately became angry.

With his white eyebrows raised, he pointed at Jiang Chen, "Kid, are you cursing me? Do you think just because I've 'washed my hands' that I'm easy to mess with? Get lost immediately! Otherwise, I'll make sure you regret it!"

The beauty seeing the old man enraged immediately took out her phone and said coldly, "You won't leave, huh? Just you wait!"

The driver and the burly man sneered as they watched Jiang Chen, ready to enjoy the spectacle.

"Heh, kindness taken for weakness," Jiang Chen uttered with an exasperated chuckle, shaking his head before turning to get into his car.

Since they didn't believe him, he saw no need to overextend himself to warm their cold shoulders; he warned them, so they couldn't blame him if they ended up dead!

However, in his fit of anger, Jiang Chen had forgotten that he'd left his money at the feet of the burly man and drove off without it.

By the time the old man and the beauty realized it, Jiang Chen's car had already gone far.

"Hmph! Consider this money compensation for us! Let's go!"

The beauty picked up the money, turned around, and got into the car with the old man, and they roared away.

…

Jiang Chen drove to the Fugui neighborhood on Jiankang Street, Building 3, and immediately saw Shen Xiaoqin, Shen Mingtao, and Shen Mingqiang waiting at the entrance. Beside them stood a mother and daughter who must be his maternal aunt Shen Xiaojiao and her daughter Liu Yuyao.

When the car stopped, Jiang Chen got out, and Shen Xiaoqin and the others blinked in surprise.

Wasn't Jiang Chen's car supposed to be a massive vehicle? How did it change to a damaged small BMW?

The group looked at Jiang Chen with puzzled eyes, and Shen Xiaojiao frowned, welcoming Jiang Chen into the house.

"Jiang Chen, did you bring the money?" Inside the house, Shen Mingtao and the others frantically signaled Shen Xiaoqin, who turned to ask Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Oh no, I forgot to take the three million I withdrew!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment before their eyes widened in disbelief at Jiang Chen.

"What did you say? How much did you forget? Three million!"

Both their gazes and words were filled with deep skepticism!

"Yes, I ran into some trouble just now and ended up leaving the three million," Jiang Chen said dejectedly, nodding. Although he was wealthy, three million wasn't a mere three hundred; losing that amount did sting, especially since it went to thankless people, which was really irritating.

But his relatives didn't believe him!

"Lose three million? Who would believe such nonsense!"

Consequently, the relatives began berating Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, how can you lie without even blinking?"

"Lost three million? Bullshit!"

"I wouldn't even lose three hundred yuan! If I had three million, I would fight anyone who dared touch it!"

The more they spoke, the more incensed they became, even starting to doubt Jiang Chen's character.

"I bet you're still living off Mr. Gong, just leeching off him!"

"Exactly, we've all been duped! Your fancy car, your money, it's all your wife's—you're just a penniless loser!"

"I never imagined you'd go to such lengths just to save face in the village!"

Seeing Shen Mingtao and the others scolding Jiang Chen, Shen Xiaoqin frowned and was about to speak. But Jiang Chen pulled her aside and shook his head at her.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Shen Xiaojiao glanced at the door, calling out, "Could that be President Li Weicheng arriving? Yu Yao, hurry up and open the door!"

"Okay!"

Liu Yuyao nodded, ran to the door, and opened it, revealing a middle-aged man dressed in formal attire with leather shoes standing outside.

"Weicheng," Liu Yuyao's face immediately sported a seductive smile as she reached out and hooked her arm onto President Li's, almost clinging her entire body to him.

President Li casually accepted Liu Yuyao's overture and walked into the room with an air of arrogance, looking up at Shen Xiaojiao, "Have you prepared the money yet?"

"President Li, about that…"

Shen Xiaojiao's face changed slightly, hesitating for a moment.

"What? You haven't prepared the money yet? I came here to bring you wealth, and you didn't even have the money ready. How the hell do you plan to get rich!" President Li Weicheng glared at Shen Xiaojiao and the others, his tone filled with disdain and anger.

Shen Xiaojiao and the others' faces changed, and Liu Yuyao's eyes darted about before she pointed accusingly at Jiang Chen, who was blocked by Shen Xiaojiao's group, "It's all his fault. We initially thought he was a wealthy guy and wanted to borrow money from him for our cooperation with you, but he turned out to be nothing but a fraud."

"Exactly, all his fault. He's a relative of ours; we thought we could bask in his success. We didn't expect him to be completely useless!"

"Right, utterly useless, just a freeloader, delaying our important affairs!"

"We originally wanted to bring him along for the ride to wealth, but it turns out he doesn't have a dime. His fancy car turned out to be nothing but an old BMW. He's absolutely worthless. It's his fault we couldn't get the money together. If only we hadn't relied on him!"

Shen Mingtao and the others unanimously shifted the blame onto Jiang Chen, feeling no remorse for trying to borrow money and instead acting as if it was their due.

To them, Jiang Chen's not giving them money was a grave mistake!

Even the ever gentle Shen Xiaoqin found it hard to listen to this attitude, and she wanted to defend her son. But Jiang Chen still held her back, not wanting his mother to argue over this matter.

As President Li Weicheng listened to this, he frowned and followed the direction they were pointing, just about to speak.

But when he got a clear look at Jiang Chen's face, his expression drastically changed, and he stared, incredulous, at Liu Yuyao, "This, this person is your relative?"

"Yes! Just a useless good-for-nothing!" Liu Yuyao spoke with contempt.

Good-for-nothing? If he is a good-for-nothing, then your whole family is the epitome of good-for-nothing!

Li Weicheng recognized Jiang Chen and was about to burst into a torrent of abuse! But then he suddenly remembered a rumor about Jiang Chen.

Low-profile, President Jiang is very low-profile indeed!

Yes, that must be it!

Realizing this, Li Weicheng's eyes shifted and he suddenly adopted a pleasant demeanor, waving his hand at Shen Xiaojiao with a smile, "Never mind, it doesn't matter if you haven't gotten the funds together yet, you can always raise them later. If it really won't work, you don't have to contribute your share at all, just join us, and I will make you money! The shares will remain the same, I can give them to you directly!"

Gasp!

All the relatives in the room were astonished!

My god, can such good fortune be true?

"Really? That's amazing!"

"Are you serious, President Li?"

"That's incredible, it's not a trick, is it?"

Shen Mingtao and the others stared dumbfounded at President Li, all in disbelief.

Shen Xiaojiao's face lit up with joy, and she quickly said, "President Li has spoken, how could it be false, of course, it's true!"

"Well, I know some of you may be worried, so I'm going back now to draft the contract. You all just wait for me," Li Weicheng instructed, giving Jiang Chen a deep look before brushing past Liu Yuyao and walking out of Shen Xiaojiao's home.

Once Li Weicheng had left, Shen Xiaojiao immediately held her head high, radiating arrogance.
