A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 656

"That's right, Mr Chu, the economy is poor and many companies have closed down."

"We all look like we're doing well, but we're really barely getting by ourselves."

"Our company has to repay all our bank loans by this time next year."

"We're not sure where we're going to get money for our operations, so even though we would really love to get the jade for you, we're a little tight on cash."

After Meng Chun-Hua spoke up, many others in the bungalow started to chime in with similar concerns.

They started complaining to Ye Fan about how difficult their situation was and some even asked Ye Fan for help.

All that talk about going up mountains and diving into oceans was all gone.

"So...does that mean that everyone here isn't agreeable to this?" Ye Fan frowned and his words sounded cold now.

The bungalow fell into silence.

Everyone just kept exchanging glances and didn't say a word.

They didn't agree but they didn't disagree either.

"Mr Chu, the Xia family of Yunzhou will help!" Xia Xue suddenly spoke up from behind her grandfather.

"Xue'er, what are you doing? Grandpa didn't say anything, so how could you cut in like that?" snapped Xia Yue fiercely when she saw how her sister was just deciding on her own like that.

She knew who Ye Fan was now, but even then, Xia Yue wasn't going to let her family suffer losses just to butter up to this Mr Chu.

So it was only natural for Xia Yue to feel both shocked and angry when she heard Xia Xue agree to this ridiculous request.

"I believe Grandpa is also willing to cooperate with Mr Chu and support him." Xia Xue's eyes looked confidently and hopefully at the old man in front of her.

Old Master Xia nodded and smiled comfortingly, "That's right. Xue'er has spoken my mind. Mr Chu, if you need anything, the Xia family will do our best to support you! Don't worry, the Xia family is willing to put in $800 million to buy high grade jade and send it to you before the Lunar New Year!"

"Grandpa, why are you also..." Xia Yue's eyes widened.

She didn't expect her grandfather to be muddleheaded as well.

He was going to put in $800 million in exchange for a favor?

That was as good as just giving the money away!

Of course Xia Yue didn't think it was worth it.

"The Li family of Yunzhou is willing to contribute too!”

"The Lei family of Jingzhou is willing to contribute!"

"The Chen family of Jianghai is willing to contribute!"

Once the Xia family expressed their support, it was like a rock had fallen into the ocean and many waves arose as a result.
