Seeing that Gu Xingzhou's expression was off, Chen Hao gently explained, "Xingzhou, don't overthink it, go and rest."

He didn't say anything more.

Many things are accomplished through actions, not words.

With these words, Gu Xingzhou's anxious and uneasy emotions gradually calmed down.

He curled his lips into a smile, then nodded emphatically, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Hao."

A few hours later, Chen Hao and his group got off the plane.

Gu Xinglan and her brother escorted their father back to the Gu family's ancestral home.

Chen Hao made a phone call to the person in charge of the milk tea brand, then turned around and went back to the Chen family home.

He hadn't been back to the Chen family for a long time, and since he hadn't made any public appearances, they assumed he was gone and started eyeing his company.

When Chen Hao returned to Chen Jiafeng, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.

At this moment, the Chen family's living room was full of people.

Seeing such a grand display, Chen Hao was no longer surprised.

The Chen family's living room was the place where they criticized and denounced each other.

Today, the whole family is gathered here again; I wonder who they're criticizing this time.

As soon as Chen Hao stepped into the living room, he heard Chen Wan's angry roar, "Chen Shan! Didn't you say your project was a sure thing?"

What's going on now?

You're telling me you lost all the money? And you even owe the bank money?

She invested tens of millions of yuan because they were her own sisters, but she never expected to lose every last penny!

Chen Shan's face was pale. She frowned and explained in a low voice, "Second sister, forget about making money, could you lend me some more money?"

I owe the bank money, and if I don't pay it back, they'll enforce the judgment.

The money owed to the bank is a minor issue; the real problem is the beauty salon's deficit. If it's not covered, those people will want to tear her apart!

"Borrow money? You're dreaming! I don't have a single penny right now!" Chen Wan said sternly.

She wasn't lying; she had invested all the money she had in the siblings.

Now she hasn't seen a single penny; in fact, she's lost money!

Seeing that she was really unwilling to spend any money, Chen Shan looked at Chen Qian and asked anxiously, "Xiao Qian, why don't you lend money to Third Sister?"

Only you can help me now, you won't just stand by and watch me die, will you?

She wouldn't have borrowed from the Chen family if she hadn't been forced to; she really had no other choice.

Chen Qian's expression changed, and then he repeatedly complained that he was broke, "Third sister, it's not that I don't want to lend you money, it's just that my company is spending too much money."

"My money all came from the eldest son of the Gu family; I don't have any money to lend you."

He was only half telling the truth; he had no money before.

But now, he's not short of money.

Upon hearing this, a smile flashed in Chen Hao's eyes. It turned out that the beauty salon Chen Shan had invested in had gone bankrupt!

He walked across the living room and headed upstairs.

Chen Qian, with his sharp eyes, spotted Chen Hao and called out, "Brother, you're finally back!"

If you don't come back soon, everyone will think you've become a live-in son-in-law of the Gu family.

In that small mountain village, he was constantly suppressed by Chen Hao, and he harbored resentment all the time.

After finding a powerful backer, he longed for Chen Hao's return every day so he could take revenge.

Chen Hao smiled slightly and replied casually, "I also want to be a live-in son-in-law, but you won't agree."

Hearing this, Mr. Chen, who had been sitting quietly to the side, quickly spoke up to stop him, "You're not allowed to be a live-in son-in-law! Forget about it!"

He's a respectable man; if word got out that his son had become a live-in son-in-law, would he still have any face left?

How can he still get along in high society?

"Hehe." Chen Hao chuckled. "Who said I was going to be a live-in son-in-law?"

After a pause, he said with a regretful look, "I also wanted to be a live-in son-in-law, but the Nan family doesn't want me."

He had hinted at it several times before, but the Nan family still hadn't responded.

It wasn't that he was eager to become a live-in son-in-law; it was simply that the Nan family needed a male heir to keep their business in check.

He was willing to help the Nan family in order to repay them for the help they had given him in the past.

"You've got nothing to show for it!" Chen's father roared.

How could he have given birth to such a good-for-nothing son?!

Unlike Chen Qian, who is so successful, I wish Chen Qian were my own son.

Why should he bother trying to curry favor with this ungrateful son?

Chen Hao picked at his ear and casually replied, "Don't you have any new words besides this one?"

He wasn't tired of talking about it, he was just tired of hearing it.

"You!" Chen's father shouted angrily, "You unfilial son!"

"I've been on a plane for several hours, I don't have time to waste with you guys, I'm going up now," Chen Hao replied calmly, then turned and left.

They have the leisure to gossip here, but he doesn't have time to keep up with them.

"Brother, wait a minute."

Chen Qian called out to Chen Hao again, questioning, "Brother, Third Sister is in big trouble this time, you must help her."

Chen Hao turned to look at Chen Qian and sneered, "Doesn't she have you as her good younger brother?"

If anyone needs help, it should be you, the younger brother.

Does he look like a sucker?

Chen Qian choked for a moment, then spoke up again to explain, trying to salvage his image, "Of course I want to help Third Sister, but my company is really short of money and can't spare a single penny."

"Oh, really?" Chen Hao looked at Chen Qian with a half-smile.

That sounds so unbelievable, who would believe it?

Chen Qian waved his hand lightly, "Don't bring up other things, just talk about this."

How much money are you planning to lend to your third sister?

"Hmph." Chen Hao snorted coldly and refused outright, "I have no money."

He wouldn't lend money even if he had it; beauty salons are bottomless pits, no amount of money can fill them.

He is not stupid.

"Brother, how could you do this? You are..."

"Xiao Qian, don't beg him, he's a cold-blooded animal," Chen Shan said bitterly.

She's really unlucky to have a brother like that.

Chen Hao shrugged and calmly replied, "I'm just learning from you guys."

You are even more cold-blooded than I am.

Instead of wasting your time causing me trouble, you'd be better off thinking about who to borrow money from. Your beauty salon can't afford to wait.

Upon hearing Chen Hao mention the beauty salon, Chen Shan suddenly realized what was going on. She shouted angrily, "You framed me! Otherwise, how would I have ended up with such a huge debt?"

No wonder he made Gu Xinglan withdraw from the beauty salon investment; it was all Director Chen Hao's doing!

Chen Hao sneered, "How ridiculous! You were the one who insisted on doing things your own way, and now that something's happened, you're blaming me?"

So many people withdrew their investments back then because you were greedy and unwilling to withdraw, so you can only wait to be exploited!

Chen Shan refused to accept this outcome, stubbornly insisting, "It was your design! If it weren't for you, why would I have invested in the beauty salon?!"

No matter what mistakes were made, they were all other people's faults; he made no mistakes at all.

Chen Hao rolled his eyes and replied nonchalantly, "Think what you want."

After saying this, Chen Hao turned and left.

You can't reason with a madman; he doesn't have time to waste on madmen.

Just then, Chen Wan shouted, "Chen Hao, you stop right there!"

This is never going to end.

Chen Hao muttered to himself, then turned to Chen Wan and asked, "What do you want now?"
