Who is Zhao Xiuxiu?

Xu Zhaozhao thought about it in his mind. This name had never appeared around him, either at work or in life.

She shook her head and asked with a smile, "Are you mistaken?"

"Did you make a mistake?" Ling Che closed the file, turned his leather chair, and smiled faintly. "You don't know Zhao Xiuxiu, so how could the money in her account be wired from you?"

The smile on Xu Zhaozhao's face suddenly disappeared. Zhao Xiuxiu? Money?

Her most recent remittance record was to Ling Xiu De, and it was automatically processed for her by someone at their bank.

Could it be that Ling Xiu De gave me the account of Zhao Xiu Xiu?

Then who is Zhao Xiuxiu?

Xu Zhaozhao raised her head, eyes full of surprise. "Ling Che, how did you know who I sent the money to? You're not secretly investigating me, are you?"

Taking in her expression, Ling Che stood up and said with a smile, "You're overthinking it. Zhao Xiuxiu is my cousin's relative in Daning City. The company happened to be looking to expand a business, so we went to talk to her. She just mentioned your name by accident."

Xu Zhaozhao was shocked, "Me?"

Ling Che walked over with a smile on his face. "She said you wired her six million a while ago, so I thought you had a personal relationship?"

Ling Che had a smile on his face, but his eyes were very deep.

When he stared at Xu Zhaozhao, it was as if he wanted to spy on what she was thinking.

Xu Zhaozhao took a deep breath and reacted quickly.

Ling Che's aunt is Tang Ping, and Tang Ping is Ling Xiu De's wife.

"Oh!" Xu Zhaozhao suddenly realized, "I remember now, you're talking about Zhao Xiuxiu."

Ling Che sat down on the sofa next to her, crossing his legs elegantly, "Didn't you just say you didn't know me?"

"I really don't know her." Xu Zhaozhao said with a smile, "When you mentioned your aunt just now, I remembered. A while ago, your uncle came to me and said he was a little short on money and wanted to borrow some. At the time, I thought that he and I were just elders and juniors. At most, we met a few times when we were young, so we weren't close. Besides, he's a member of your Ling family, so how could he be short of money?"

Xu Zhaozhao looked at Ling Che calmly and continued, "I rejected him at the time and told him that if he really needed money, he could come to you. You are family, and you will definitely help him. But he said he couldn't bring himself to ask you for help, so he had to ask me for help."

Xu Zhaozhao said, looking embarrassed. "I originally wanted to refuse him, but as you know, our Xu and Ling families have a good relationship, and my dad has some friendship with him, so I had no choice but to lend him the money. As for the subsequent remittance and so on, I asked our bank to handle it. So when you mentioned this Zhao Xiuxiu, I had no impression of her at all."

Ling Che glanced at her, then nodded after listening to her words, "Why did Ling Xiu De ask you to borrow money?"

"I don't know either. He didn't say it explicitly, so I couldn't ask him. After all, six million isn't a lot of money. I just lent it to him."

As Xu Zhaozhao was speaking, he suddenly remembered something. "Ling Che, I heard that he went to Grandpa Ling several times to ask for his old Huarui company back, right?"

"That's right." Ling Che nodded.

Xu Zhaozhao suggested with a smile, "Why don't you return it to him?"

"Oh? Why?" Ling Che smiled, took a cigarette from the cigarette box and lit it, with an unclear meaning in his deep eyes.

Xu Zhaozhao said quickly, "Aren't you family? He's your cousin, so asking you to return his old company shouldn't be too much of a stretch. Besides, he seems to be quite short of money right now. I guess money is really tight. Grandpa Ling is old now and can't stand his daily nagging. You don't want him to visit Grandpa Ling often, do you?"

"So, if you don't give Huarui to him, then how Huarui performs under his management is his business, and no one else will say anything to you."

Her suggestions were all based on Ling Che and Ling Gu's perspectives. She thought Ling Che would not misunderstand her meaning.

Ling Che smoked a cigarette and looked at Xu Zhaozhao for a long while.

Xu Zhaozhao couldn't read the meaning in his eyes. Just as she was about to speak, she heard him ask, "Ling Xiude not only asked you for money, but also mentioned the matter of Huarui to you, right?"

Xu Zhaozhao's heart trembled suddenly, but she kept smiling on her face. The fact that Ling Che asked this question proved that he already had the answer in his heart. If she denied it, it would make him suspicious, so it would be better for him to admit it directly.

She said calmly, "He saw that our two families had a good relationship, so he did ask me to help put in a few words. I just tried to please him by saying I'd find a chance to bring it up in front of you. As for the outcome, I can't interfere."

"I hate it when people tell me what to do, especially when they're meddling in things I shouldn't be involved in." Ling Che puffed out his cigarette slowly. "You should know this clearly, right?"

Xu Zhaozhao's smile froze. "Of course, this is your family affair. I did say too much."

She stood up and said, "But Ling Che, I'm doing this for your own good. After all, he's your cousin and a member of your Ling family. I don't have any other intentions. Please don't misunderstand my good intentions."

After leaving the office, Xu Zhaozhao's face looked bad and his hands were clenched tightly.

It was not until she returned to her office that she vigorously grabbed the paper on the table and threw it out, gritting her teeth and saying, "This Ling Xiu De almost killed me!"

......

"According to what Miss Xu said, her financial dealings with Ling Xiu De were really a relationship of lender and borrower?"

In the president's office, a man in light-colored casual clothes walked out from the stairs on the second floor and sat directly on the sofa next to Ling Che, looking at the man next to him with a smile.

"Her words were flawless." A thin cigarette was half-burned between his bony fingers. Ling Che flicked the ash and smiled. "But she seems to have forgotten one thing."

"Oh?" Song Yanzhi turned his head. "What's the matter?"

Ling Che smiled, "Tang Ping hates being a mistress the most, so she and Xu Zhaozhao's mother have always been at odds. More than ten years ago, they had a very ugly argument at a banquet. Since then, the Xu family has had very little contact with Ling Xiude. The few times they meet are only for my father's sake."

Song Yanzhi finally grasped the key point and smelled the scent of a big melon.

"Are you saying that Miss Xu's mother is a mistress??"

Ling Che glanced at him and said in a dissatisfied tone, "Is this the point?"

"I know, I know. The point is that Miss Xu said she lent Ling Xiu De money because of their fathers' friendship. That doesn't make sense." Song Yanzhi quickly moved closer to Ling Che, looking a little excited. "So her mother is really a mistress?"

He looked like he wanted to hear gossip, so Ling Che glanced at him.

"Her father, Xu Tiancheng, was not originally going to marry her mother, Luo Qinghan. Luo Qinghan was the one who got him halfway through. I heard she used some trickery, but I don't know what it was. The key point is that Xu Tiancheng was quite happy about it. Not only did he not pursue the matter, he happily married Luo Qinghan and gave birth to Xu Zhaozhao."
