Chapter 973: Chapter 970: Who Do You Think I Am to You? Part 2

Tong Xiaohua originally hurried to see Yan Bo but now she turned back and sat down in the small reception room.

"Senior brother, can you explain this to me in detail?"

Tong Xiaohua’s complexion wasn’t good, and Di Xu intuitively felt that he had probably done more harm than good with his well-intentioned act.

But at this point, whether he spoke or not, it was basically a dead end either way.

So, he steeled his heart, poured a glass of water for Tong Xiaohua, handed it to her, and roughly explained to her about the recent capital chain breakage.

Of course, he didn’t tell Tong Xiaohua that he had suggested many times to seek help from the Tong Family to Yan Bo.

Tong Xiaohua listened to Di Xu’s narrative with a stern face and didn’t speak for a long time.

After Di Xu had said what he thought he should say, he dared not add any extra comments.

Because he could feel that his junior sister, who usually seemed easy-going, was now emitting a keep-away vibe.

After a long silence with a cold expression, Tong Xiaohua finally looked up, "Senior brother, based on your conservative estimate, how much capital does Yanhuang need right now to ensure normal operations?"

Di Xu had been poring over a pile of data in recent days; he knew the figure by heart and immediately blurted out an accurate number without even thinking.

After hearing it, Tong Xiaohua stood up briskly.

"I’ll go see him." As she walked to the door, Tong Xiaohua seemed to remember something, turned her head, and said to Di Xu, "Senior brother, thank you for telling me all this."

Di Xu smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "You go, just remember to put in a good word for me, I’m afraid I’m going to lose my year-end bonus this year."

Tong Xiaohua smiled at him reassuringly, "Don’t worry, if Yan Bo deducts yours, I’ll make it up to you."

It was only then that Di Xu remembered that his junior sister was no ordinary person.

With that thought, he became even more hopeful that Yanhuang’s current financial crisis might not need to alarm the Tong Family and might be resolved without it.

Still, such matters were ultimately not for him to worry about. Now, all he could do was use his abilities to help his boss through the crisis.

Tong Xiaohua took the keys and went straight through the door; the residence was quiet and obviously, Aunty Xin had not come over yet.

She placed the medicine she had bought on the coffee table, and then tiptoed to the door of Yan Bo’s bedroom. She called out softly a couple of times, but there was no response, so she tried to turn the doorknob, and the door "clicked" open.

When the door opened, one could see at first glance, the bed directly across from the doorway, had a bulge in it.

Clearly, Yan Bo was still in the quilt.

Whether he was awake or asleep was unknown.

Tong Xiaohua tiptoed to the bedside, leaned down, and looked at the person lying on his side with his back to her.

Yan Bo, lying in the quilt, had his eyes tightly shut, and his breathing was even, but his expression was far from peaceful, his slightly furrowed brows revealed that he was not sleeping soundly.

Tong Xiaohua moved closer and placed her hand on his forehead.

The temperature felt normal but there was a faint whiff of alcohol in the air.

Tong Xiaohua was both angry and heartbroken. This man, could it be that he was drowning his sorrows in drink?

Thinking this, Tong Xiaohua then placed her hand on his shoulder and gave a firm push.

"Yan Bo!" her tone was not the usual gentle one.

Yan Bo, who had been sleeping restlessly, was jostled awake by her pushes. He turned around in confusion, opened his eyes, and it took his vision a while to focus on her face.

"Xiao Hua? Why are you here?"

As he spoke, Yan Bo threw off the quilt with one hand and propped himself up with the other to sit up on the bed.

Tong Xiaohua glared at him and said fiercely, "I came to see if you were dead yet!"

Yan Bo looked at her, confused. As his head cleared up, he became even more puzzled.

He reached out to touch her face, but she dodged out of the way.

"Xiao Hua, what’s wrong with you? You’re acting like you ate gunpowder this early in the morning!"

Yan Bo got out of bed, stepped towards Tong Xiaohua, and reached out to embrace her.

Even though he had no idea why she came over so early.

But the fact that he saw her as soon as he opened his eyes, brightened his gloomy mood significantly for the day.

"Yan Bo, what do you think I am to you?"

In front of Yan Bo, Tong Xiaohua has always been unable to keep things to herself.

Originally, she felt somewhat sorry for him, but then he actually accused her of acting like she had eaten gunpowder.

Doesn’t he know that she is almost at her breaking point because of him?

Yan Bo, rubbing his forehead, couldn’t figure out where this questioning was coming from.

Weren’t they both fine when they parted at the airport yesterday?

"Xiao Hua, what are you talking about? I don’t quite understand what you mean. Did you perhaps misunderstand something?"

Unlike Tong Xiaohua, Yan Bo is someone who’s very good at keeping things under wraps.

That’s also why, during this past half a month, as he was troubled and running around due to loan issues, Tong Xiaohua didn’t notice anything at all.

Now, he was full of regret but couldn’t think of what he could have possibly done to offend Tong Xiaohua.

Tong Xiaohua pointed at him, wanted to scold him, but didn’t know what to say, and so, with a huff, she stormed out of his bedroom. Before slamming the door, she threw out a comment, "You should go wash up, you stink!"

She didn’t want to fight with him, but at that moment, she was so furious that she felt like exploding.

If she didn’t calm herself down, she worried she wouldn’t be able to resist charging at him and giving him a beating.

Di Xu had just said that this capital chain break could, at minimum, cause Yanhuang Real Estate to face scrutiny, or at worst, could even lead to the company’s bankruptcy!

Such a serious matter, and he hadn’t mentioned a single word about it to her!

How could she not be furious?

If it weren’t for Di Xu telling her, would he have planned to keep her in the dark until Yanhuang couldn’t hold up any longer?

Tong Xiaohua felt such a headache from the anger that she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles on the sofa.

Yan Bo, of course, also realized there was something off about her and quickly finished washing up, hurrying out to see her.

Tong Xiaohua’s anger had somewhat subsided, but as soon as she saw him come out wearing only a thin piece of clothing, she couldn’t help but snap at him again, "Do you want to freeze yourself to death?"

Yan Bo had never seen Tong Xiaohua in such a bad mood, but he didn’t hold it against her and just gave her a smile, "I thought you had some emergency..."

As he spoke, he walked back into the bedroom and grabbed a coat to put on.

Tong Xiaohua was still seated on the sofa, giving Yan Bo a cold look as he came out, "Sit!"

Yan Bo found it amusing internally; this girl, this was his home, yet she was acting as if it were her own place.

But amusing thoughts aside, Yan Bo obediently sat down next to Tong Xiaohua, his hand habitually reaching for her shoulder.

To his surprise, as soon as his hand touched her shoulder, she swung his arm away with force.

"Don’t touch me, go sit across!"

Sheesh, did she really eat gunpowder?

Yan Bo, puzzled, quietly shook his head and then stood up to comply, sitting on the single sofa across from her.

"Xiao Hua, you still haven’t told me, why did you come over so early?"

After Yan Bo asked, his gaze fell on the medicines on the coffee table, and he began to somewhat understand the purpose of her early morning visit.
