In the Bai family's courtyard, there were plenty of luxury cars in front of the gate.
Today, the Old Master of the Bai family's birthday ceremony was held, and all the big shots from all parties came to pay their congratulations.
The younger generation of the Bai family was particularly attentive and wanted to win the good impression of the old master.
Many high-ranking and powerful people were sitting on the left and right side of Mr. Bai, talking and laughing.
The younger generation brought their gifts and sent them to the Old Master.
"Grandpa, this is the best Snow Mountain Ganoderma, a great tonic!"
"Grandpa, this is a high-quality Tian Yu. I bought it at a high price."
The gifts were placed neatly in front of the old man. The old man was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth.
However, when the atmosphere was harmonious, a hoarse and low voice suddenly sounded, "Grandpa, I want to ask you to borrow some money... My mother's condition is serious again... She must have an operation immediately."
The cheerful atmosphere immediately solidified.
There was a dead silence in the living room, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the person who said this.
Old Master Bai's smile froze as well.
He looked at Cheng Hao with disgust.
Cheng Hao was the Bai family's son-in-law.
Two years ago, Cheng Hao had just graduated from college. He thought that with his hard work, he would be able to make a career in his field of expertise and let his mother live a rich life.
But he didn't expect his mother to have a sudden illness.
Just when Cheng Hao couldn't do anything about the high cost of the operation, a middle-aged man helped him.
However, the only requirement was that he and Bai Jingyi of the Bai's Group had agreed to get married for three years.
At that time, in order to cure his mother's illness, Cheng Hao did not think much and agreed directly.
Only then did she know that the middle-aged man was Bai Jingyi's father, Bai Yanbing.
The purpose of making him and Bai Jingyi get married was to prevent his daughter from becoming a victim of the marriage between the Bai and Long families.
In the past two years, Cheng Hao worked hard to return the money of Bai Yan Ice, but due to the lack of contacts, he hit the wall everywhere and finally had to resign at home.
It was also because of this that in the eyes of the Bai family, they had always treated him as a piece of trash.
"I don't think you are shameless. Grandpa's birthday today. It's okay if you don't prepare a gift. How can you have the face to ask for money?" Bai Xiaopeng said angrily.
He was Bai Jingyi's cousin and had always looked down upon Bai Jingyi's family. Every time they met, they would ridicule him.
Two years ago, Bai Jingyi and Cheng Hao got married. It was he who spread the news everywhere and made Cheng Hao a joke in everyone's eyes.
"That's right. Who do you think you are? How dare you open your mouth and ask for our Bai family's money!" someone in the same generation scolded.
"Who is he? He really looks up to himself."
Those cold words were like daggers stabbing into Cheng Hao's heart one after another.
Cheng Hao's heart was filled with despair, and so was Bai Jingyi.
Although he had no choice but to marry Cheng Hao, and although they only had the name of husband and wife, they had been together for two years, and they still had a basic friendship.
What's more, in the past two years, Cheng Hao really treated her very well. He had a lot of meals for three meals a day every day.
Every time he was bullied by other members of his family, Cheng Hao would always stand in front of her to shelter her from the wind and rain, and find a way to comfort her and make her happy.
Although she was disappointed with Cheng Hao's cowardice and lack of ability, they had lived in the name of husband and wife for two years after all. People were not plants. Who could be ruthless?
But she... still didn't dare to stand out.
Her father was the illegitimate son of Old Master Bai, who had no status in the Bai family. Even if she spoke for Cheng Hao, she would not be of much use.
Bai Xiaopeng continued to ridicule him and said, "I think that even if you want to borrow money, you need to do it at least. You don't even kneel down. Do you want to take the money of our Bai family?"
Cheng Hao let out a long sigh. It was true that there was gold under a man's knees. But for the sake of his mother, he didn't want to lose his life. It didn't matter if he felt a little wronged.
At this moment, Bai Jingyi finally sighed and stood up.
She stopped Cheng Hao and stopped him from kneeling down. "How much do you need?"
Cheng Hao gritted his teeth and said, "Two hundred thousand."
"Swoosh..."
200,000 yuan. A lot of people in the living room were talking about it.
Bai Jingyi's face was also pale. So much money was not a small sum of money. Unless the house was sold, it was impossible to raise so much money.
She took a deep breath and turned to look at the old master. "Grandpa... can you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Bai Xiaopeng.
"Grandpa, you can't be softhearted. With such a virtue, he can cheat and take our Bai family's money without even working. This kind of person is not worth our sympathy."
"Yeah, grandpa, you can't be fooled by him!"
"Yes, that's it..."
The Old Master nodded thoughtfully and glared at Cheng Hao.
In fact, even if they didn't say it, Mr. Bai also hated Cheng Hao very much.
In the past, Mr. Bai was eager for the marriage alliance between the Bai and Long families. All of this became a bubble because of the combination of Cheng Hao and Bai Jingyi, which made the Bai family suffer a great loss.
After a cold snort, the Old Master turned around and left. Everyone could see that he was very unhappy.
After seeing the old master went upstairs, Bai Xiaopeng looked coldly at Cheng Hao and said sarcastically, "Do you want to cure your mother's illness? Please, maybe I will lend it to you."
Bai Xiaopeng laughed playfully and said, "After all, I'm so kind. I'll give you two hundred thousand yuan, as long as you give it back to me in half a month!"
Cheng Hao looked at Bai Xiaopeng. To be honest, he did not expect that Bai Xiaopeng had such a good intention.
"However," Bai Xiaopeng continued, "If you don't return it in half a month, you have to crawl under my crotch and then kneel down to call me dad. Maybe I won't let you return it if I'm in a good mood."
Hahahaha...
The whole living room burst into laughter, and their smiling faces were very dazzling.
Humiliation.
It was a blatant humiliation.
Even Bai Jingyi couldn't help saying, "Bai Xiaopeng, you've gone too far!"
"Okay." However, Cheng Hao couldn't think of anything else now. He only wanted to save his mother. He suddenly looked up and stared at Bai Xiaopeng with burning eyes. He nodded heavily and said, "Just do as you said. As long as you lend me, I will return 200,000 yuan in half a month!"
"Not two hundred thousand yuan." Of course, Bai Xiaopeng couldn't let it go so easily. He hadn't played enough. "No matter where you borrow money, the interest can't be less. After half a month, you have to return me five hundred thousand yuan. If you delay it for one day, you can add ten thousand yuan. Otherwise, you don't have to talk."
Cheng Hao gritted his teeth and didn't think too much. "Okay!"
At this moment, someone in the crowd muttered, "What if he returns the money in half a month?"
The voice was not loud, but everyone could hear it clearly.
"Haha!"
The whole living room suddenly burst into laughter again.
It was universally acknowledged that Cheng Hao was poor. He couldn't even afford two hundred thousand yuan. In the past half a month, he couldn't even sell his blood for five hundred thousand yuan!
Everyone seemed to have heard a big joke, and no one believed that he could fight back.
Bai Xiaopeng also patted his chest and said, "If he can fight back, I will crawl through his crotch!"
After that, he directly transferred 200,000 yuan to Cheng Hao.
For Bai Xiaopeng, this amount of money was just a drop in the bucket. It was also a fun to play with his son-in-law from this country with this money.
