The Delicate Darling with Her Rough Man novel Chapter 362

Chapter 362: Chapter 358: Worried for Nothing

’Well, I’ll be.’

’He’s grown a spine, has he? Daring to step on my foot.’

Chen Xiaoli shot him a cold glare, and Xu Chongfeng immediately cowered. Still, for the sake of their family savings, he tried to straighten his back, though he couldn’t quite manage it.

Chen Xiaoli knew what her husband was getting at and immediately rolled her eyes.

’I was just asking. It’s not like I was actually going to invest. Look at him, all worked up.’

’Since he only stepped on me because he was in a panic, I’ll let it slide this time.’

Xu Wenwan was furious. She was in such a hurry with such a great project, and yet Chen Xiaoli was being so wishy-washy.

If she could find anyone else to invest, she wouldn’t even be giving Chen Xiaoli this chance to get rich.

"Sister-in-law, are you investing or not?"

Chen Xiaoli: "I’m not investing."

Xu Wenwan: "..."

’But I clearly saw her jump when I told her the numbers. She was obviously shocked by the potential profit, so why is she refusing now?’

’Is she scared the investment is too big?’

Xu Wenwan explained patiently, "Sister-in-law, you don’t have to worry about putting in that much money. I just need to buy a few materials. This is a sure-fire deal; there’s no way to lose money."

Chen Xiaoli shook her head. "Don’t have the money."

Xu Wenwan fumed.

Just as she was about to erupt, Village Chief Xu, who had been listening on the side, finally understood.

’His daughter was about to get into some shady business.’

Instantly enraged, he slammed a hand on the table, startling everyone.

Chen Xiumin, with great foresight, had already distanced herself from Village Chief Xu.

Village Chief Xu then slapped Xu Wenwan across the face, his expression furious. "Have we not fed you? Or given you enough to drink? How dare you do something like this? Do you have a death wish?"

"Let me tell you, no one is going to give you any money. And from now on, you are forbidden from having any more of these ridiculous ideas."

Village Chief Xu had lived through the darkest of times and had seen with his own eyes the fate that befell others who tried such things.

If she were caught, their entire family would be in trouble.

No one said a word.

’They had no intention of getting involved. He was worrying for nothing.’

After leaving the house, Xu Wenwan headed for the Educated Youth Point.

Now, Yun Hao was all she had. Just as she rounded a corner, she saw him in the distance, heading into the village office.

She turned the corner as well and made her way toward the village office.

Upon entering the village office and seeing Yun Hao was alone, she didn’t even ask why he was there. Instead, she threw herself into his arms, sobbing.

Yun Hao had been in high spirits ever since learning of Gu Jiaojiao’s feelings for him. So, when he saw Xu Wenwan come in crying, his voice was incredibly gentle.

"What’s wrong, Wanwan? Who bullied you?"

"Get up, please. This is the village office, and someone could walk in at any moment. It would be bad for your reputation."

If they were seen embracing at a time like this, it would be impossible to explain.

Xu Wenwan thought of how cruelly her own family had treated her, while Yun Hao, in contrast, was always looking out for her. Her heart was instantly moved beyond words.
