Shen Chuan hesitated for a moment before pressing the answer button.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and the man said, "I called you to ask you to pay me back."

Shen Chuan's face instantly turned ashen. "It's not the due date yet, why are you in such a hurry? I'm not unwilling to pay it back!"

The man's voice, tinged with laughter, came from the phone receiver, his tone frivolous. "Young Master Shen, don't be angry. I was just joking with you. Of course, I wasn't worried about you not being able to pay me back before. But the situation is different now. Your Yuying Beauty has a bad reputation now. I have to think about myself and take precautions in advance. What if Yuying Beauty really goes bankrupt? Wouldn't my money be wasted?"

Shen Chuan was seething with rage, his voice rising a little with anger. "What do you mean by bankruptcy? Yuying Cosmetics is doing well. It just encountered some difficulties and was targeted by someone. How could it be bankrupt?"

He couldn't bear to hear anyone mention that Yuying would go bankrupt.

"And even if it really comes to that, with the Shen family backing us up, are you still afraid that I won't pay?"

He comforted himself in this way and also reminded the other person.

The person on the other end of the phone still had that irritating smile in his tone, "Hey, Third Young Master Shen, don't get so excited. I'm just worried that your eldest brother will cheat and deny his debt. The Shen family is wealthy and powerful, so this little money may not matter to us, but I have a small business and I can't afford it."

Shen Chuan was almost pissed off by his annoying tone! How could someone who could easily come up with 100 million in cash be a small business owner?

The man's voice continued, "I'm just giving you a heads-up. You must pay me back within three days. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to follow the contract and sell those shares to avoid the risk."

"Sell the shares?" Shen Chuan's voice suddenly rose, with a hint of incredible sharpness.

"you dare!"

"Oh, I have no choice." The man chuckled and asked with a hint of playfulness in his tone, "It's all because of life."

Shen Chuan gritted his teeth, "We signed a contract! The repayment date is written in black and white on the contract!"

"Yes, the contract was signed. But Mr. Shen, have you read the terms of the contract carefully?"

The person on the other end of the phone had a meaningful smile in his tone.

When Shen Chuan heard this, he hurriedly looked through the electronic contract on his phone, quickly sliding the screen to re-examine the densely packed clauses.

His finger stopped on a line of inconspicuous small words.

Limited use of the loan: This amount is limited to investment in the newly established Yuying Beauty Cosmetics Co., Ltd.

His gaze continued to move downward, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand.

If the new company invested by the borrower encounters any operating risks or force majeure, which leads to the company's operations being hindered or facing bankruptcy crisis, in order to minimize Party A's investment risk, Party A has the right to unilaterally dispose of the Shen Group shares pledged by the borrower to repay the loan principal and interest.

Shen Chuan's face turned pale, as if all the blood in his body had been drained.

A chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and my whole body was cold!

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Song Yanxi didn't want to go over to him. But thinking that Shen Chuan was still useful, she moved closer with an anxious look on her face. "Third brother? What happened?"

Shen Chuan suddenly grabbed her wrist with such force that she frowned.

"Xixi, I have to gather 100 million in three days. I remember that your jewelry should be worth about that much. Sell it first to save money."

Song Yanxi's expression froze for a moment.

"But..." She lowered her head and twisted the corners of her clothes, "Those are gifts from my brothers. It wouldn't be right for me to just sell them away."

Shen Chuan's temples were throbbing. "Just consider it a loan! I'll buy you a new one once the money's back!"

Song Yanxi was unwilling to lend it and deliberately cried out in pain, "Ah, Third Brother, you hurt me..."

This time, Shen Chuan did not let go like he did when he joined the party, but stared at Song Yanxi intently.

Song Yanxi was in so much pain that she pushed Shen Chuan hard.

Shen Chuan had just been discharged from the hospital and was still weak. Coupled with the injury on his head, he had suffered a huge shock and had long lost all his strength.

She pushed so hard that she was pushed backwards.

Fortunately, this time there was a sofa behind him instead of a table, so he didn't fall hard.

Because the fall was not serious, I could clearly see the disgust in Song Yanxi's eyes!

Song Yanxi rubbed her wrist and took a half step back, her eyelashes drooping as she pretended to be at a loss. "Otherwise, I'll go and tell my eldest brother. He loves me the most. I'll go and beg him, and he will definitely help."

"No!" Shen Chuan suddenly raised his voice.

Song Yanxi was frightened.

Shen Chuan's eyes were deep. Big brother loved her and would not punish her, but he would definitely tear her apart!

His voice became lower and lower, and finally he almost squeezed out from between his teeth: "Just consider it as helping Third Brother this time."

Song Yanxi bit her lower lip, her eyes wandering, but she didn't look at him at all.

Shen Chuan swayed, lost all his strength, and leaned back on the sofa.

Song Yanxi didn't dare to look into his eyes that were almost spitting fire. "Maybe there is still hope. Don't worry, Third Brother."

As she said this, her fingers were already sliding quickly across the phone screen.

She wanted to pretend to be busy, so she called her assistant and gave instructions in a hurried tone.

"Go negotiate with those influencers! Tell them we'll compensate them! Let them go back first! Go!"

However, half an hour later, the assistant called again.

On the other end of the phone, the assistant's voice was tearful and he was almost on the verge of collapse.

"Mr. Song, they won't leave! They say...each person must pay at least five million in compensation!"

"Five million? Why don't they just rob it!" Song Yanxi's voice suddenly rose and became piercingly sharp.

Twenty or so internet celebrities, five million each?

Wouldn't that add up to more than 100 million! She couldn't come up with that much money, and Shen Yi wouldn't come up with that much money either!

This does not include ordinary consumers!

How dare they ask the Shen family for so much money?

Then, she thought that Shen Suihuan might be behind these people, and she understood how they dared to do that.

Because Shen Suihuan supports them!

Anger instantly rushed to her head and she almost smashed her phone.

She was about to yell at the assistant on the other end of the phone, but the assistant's tearful voice of dissuasion came first.

"Mr. Song, you'd better agree. They said that if we can't resolve it privately, we'll have to unite and sue Yuying. If we really let them sue us, we won't just have to pay compensation, we'll also have to..."

Go to jail!

Song Yanxi's heart trembled violently!

She doesn't want to go to jail! Absolutely not!

She looked at Shen Chuan who was sitting on the sofa, "Third brother, can you help me? I don't want to go to jail, can you go in my place?"
