Shao Zhengchang's face also changed greatly, and he said angrily, "Yes, didn't you just say you wouldn't pursue the two million yuan anymore? What do you mean by that?"
He looked at Shao Zhenggang again, "Second brother, say something."
Shao Zhenggang was also a little at a loss. He looked at Su Ding, and just as he was about to say something, Su Ding suddenly interrupted him.
"Yes, I did agree not to pursue the two million yuan, but now everyone thinks I should lend money to First Uncle, right? I also think I should lend money to First Uncle, so I can only collect the previous debt first?"
This made Shao Zhengchang freeze, his face turning from green to white.
"Actually, Grandma, First Uncle, and Uncles, you all have it wrong. Where do I have so much money? The money was all given to Grandma as gifts. Moreover, I'm not married yet, and I have nothing. Grandma, how did you all think of asking me for money?"
Su Ding retorted with a half-smile, "Actually, to be honest with all of you, I was also thinking of borrowing money from Grandma and the others to tide over the store. I'm not borrowing much, just one million is fine."
"I don't have money, I really don't have money."
Shao Zhengchang quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "I'm still short five million, Xiao Xu. I really have nothing left. Forget about the five million, can you not ask us for the two million either?"
Su Ding smiled, "Alright then."
Grandma Shao was very displeased but didn't know what to say in this situation.
Shao Zhengkang was very smug about the result. As long as the eldest and third branches didn't get Shao Xu's money, he would feel balanced. He knew that Su Ding's current act of playing the victim meant she absolutely didn't want to lend.
"Third Uncle, didn't you say that Xiao Xu casually swiped her card to buy two jade bracelets worth two million? How could Xiao Xu be short of money?" Shao Jun, unwilling, pointed the spearhead at Shao Zhengkang.
Shao Zhengkang, being called out, felt like he had picked up a hot potato and jumped up, saying, "I don't know anything about Xiao Xu's matters."
He didn't want to offend Shao Xu at this time and quickly denied it.
Shao Zhengchang and Shao Jun's faces were very ugly. They were very angry at Shao Zhengkang's sudden change of face. Shao Zhengchang said awkwardly to Su Ding, "That... that... Xiao Xu, don't misunderstand us. We're not coveting your money, we're just worried that as a woman, you'll spend it all someday. Why not invest in our Shao family? First Uncle will give you dividends later."
"Yes, cousin. My dad and I are just worried about you," Shao Jun quickly added.
Seeing that they had revealed their intentions, Shao Zhengkang stopped pretending. He smiled and looked at Su Ding, "Xiao Xu, Third Uncle actually has a friend who is involved in investments. I can help you connect with them. You can triple your money in half a year, which is much more profitable than opening a store..."
Shao Qingqing felt very uncomfortable seeing her two brothers' expressions.
Grandma Shao also took the opportunity to glance at Shao Zhenggang and said with a smile, "Second brother, you are benefiting from your daughter's good fortune. If the eldest and third brothers help out, Xiao Xu will surely be even better than she is now."
Shao Zhenggang gave a dry laugh and responded a few times, looking at Su Ding uneasily.
Now, Su Ding had a smile on her face, but it didn't reach her eyes, even having a hint of coldness.
"Excuse me, First Uncle and Third Uncle, I really don't have money, and I don't need your help. If you all are serious, you can pool money to help me open my store."
Su Ding said with a cold smile. Seeing their expressions turn ugly, she added, "I have other things to do, so I won't eat anymore. If you manage to raise the money, remember to call me."
After speaking, she stood up and left with her bag, without regard for the reactions of those present.
Shao Zhenggang saw this and wanted to chase after her, calling out anxiously, "Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu..."
But Su Ding didn't even look back at him. She pushed the door open and left decisively.
The rest of them fell into silence.
Grandma Shao's face was so dark it could almost drip water. She clenched her fists tightly and said coldly, "Second brother, this Xiao Xu is too much!"
