The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 560 - 557 Borrowing Money

But he couldn’t come up with that much money at the moment, so he had no choice but to turn to his sister, who was the CEO, for funds!

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiaomo furrowed her brows. A dark glint flashed through her amber eyes as she asked directly, "Wen Yajun, what exactly happened? Why do you need to borrow money? Is our family short on cash? Or is something wrong with Mom? Or Dad?"

Hua Xiaomo suddenly became anxious. Although Wen Yajun’s mother was also her biological mother, her own father was not Wen Yajun’s biological father. They were half-siblings, sharing the same mother but different fathers. Yet, even so, the affection between them had always been strong.

"No, it’s not Mom who’s in trouble, nor is it your dad," Wen Yajun said, hesitating. A look of embarrassment crossed his face, and he pursed his lips tightly. After a moment of thought, he continued, "It’s about Dong Xiaoyou’s family. As her boyfriend, I can’t ignore her troubles."

"Dong Xiaoyou’s family is in trouble? What happened to them?" Hua Xiaomo asked.

On the other end of the line, Wen Yajun seemed to find it difficult to speak, but he quickly said, "Xiao Mo, it’s a long story. Do you have 80 million on hand? Could you lend it to me for now?"

"80 million?" Hua Xiaomo was shocked. She had never imagined her brother would ask for such a large sum right off the bat.

Alright, she was now running a game company and was the CEO of Purple Demon Immortal Inquiry Company. If she weren’t, she definitely wouldn’t be able to afford such an amount.

Qi Longbing, driving beside her, glanced at Hua Xiaomo. Although he hadn’t heard the specifics of her phone conversation, he could roughly guess the caller was Wen Yajun. Who else could it be?

Why would Wen Yajun ask Hua Xiaomo for so much money right away? Was it to help Dong Xiaoyou? What exactly was going on?

"Brother, what exactly happened to Dong Xiaoyou’s family? Why are you asking to borrow so much money?" Hua Xiaomo asked.

She really couldn’t understand it. Why would Wen Yajun ask for so much money right away? Besides, money was hard-earned; it couldn’t just be lent out casually.

Moreover, it wasn’t a small sum. What did Dong Xiaoyou’s family need so much money for? Wasn’t she already planning to marry her brother? Why was she delaying for so long instead of holding the wedding ceremony?

She really didn’t understand what Dong Xiaoyou was thinking. Was she having second thoughts? Did she no longer want to marry her brother? Oh, right, she remembered Dong Xiaoyou also had a daughter.

Although the daughter wasn’t her brother’s biological child, he treated both mother and daughter exceedingly well.

She truly couldn’t fathom why Dong Xiaoyou wouldn’t agree to marry her brother.

Especially now, with Dong Xiaoyou having him ask her for this huge sum, she found it even harder to understand Dong Xiaoyou’s intentions.

No matter what, she had to find out the truth. Otherwise, she couldn’t just lend out the money without understanding the situation. This was about being responsible to herself and to him.

"Xiao Mo, there are some things I can’t explain clearly over the phone," Wen Yajun said firmly from the other end. "Look, if you have the money, just lend it to me first. I need it urgently right now. I wouldn’t have called you if it weren’t an emergency."

He didn’t really have much time to explain the details. In short, Dong Xiaoyou’s family matters were his responsibility, and he was determined to handle them. He had no choice. After all, she was his girlfriend, and he loved her dearly.

He couldn’t ignore Dong Xiaoyou’s problems, especially since her younger brother was in so much debt. He had to deal with it. If he didn’t intervene, those villains could hack her brother to death, and he couldn’t bear to let that happen.

"Brother, if you put it like that, you make it impossible for me to help," Hua Xiaomo said decisively. "When I lend money, I need an explanation, and you’re giving me none at all. How can I lend you the money then? If that’s the case, I really can’t help you."

Honestly, she couldn’t believe he was asking her for this. Perhaps because she wasn’t in City A, she had no way to manage them or know what they were doing.

But if Dong Xiaoyou’s family really needed that much money, what on earth would they use it for?

Whatever the reason, he had to give her an explanation. Without one, she absolutely wouldn’t lend the money.

"Xiao Mo, how can you say that? I’m your brother! No matter what, you’re a part of the Hua family. Even if you don’t like me, I’m still your brother. Hua Xiaomo, if you don’t help Dong Xiaoyou, I’m afraid her family will face disaster! Hua Xiaomo, please, consider it carefully, okay? I’ll call you again tonight. Goodbye for now."

Wen Yajun hung up. On his end, he was nervous and uneasy. He could tell from Dong Xiaoyou’s tone and attitude that her younger brother was in serious trouble. He knew his prospective brother-in-law was stubborn. Being young, he had probably been tricked by some bad people and had now gotten himself into this huge mess. As Dong Xiaoyou’s future husband, how could he not get involved?

Hua Xiaomo gripped the phone, her expression darkening. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say. Qi Longbing glanced at her and asked, "So, Dong Xiaoyou had your brother ask you for money, right? And he asked for 80 million right off the bat? Xiao Mo, what are your thoughts? Are you going to lend it to them?" Qi Longbing questioned, a hint of unintentional coldness flickering in his eyes.

It seemed everyone knew Hua Xiaomo was wealthy and wanted to borrow from her. Other people might be one thing, but this was Wen Yajun asking; she’d probably have to lend it. The crucial point, however, was the reason for borrowing. As the ones potentially lending the money, they had a right to know. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"I don’t know," Hua Xiaomo replied. "My brother called out of the blue asking for 80 million. It’s completely incomprehensible. And I’m not running a bank. Although the company has two to three hundred million in assets, you know not all of that is liquid; it’s mostly fixed assets. In reality, the company’s available cash flow isn’t that large. Having around eighty or ninety million in liquid funds would already be very good."
