Chapter 1416: 1416 Xiao Clan defaults on payment 2 Chapter 1416: 1416 Xiao Clan defaults on payment 2 “I am doing this openly in front of you, you old fool,” Chang Haotian said coldly, “unlike you, who bullies Qing’er behind my back.”

“What right do you have to help Su Qingyue when you are neither her kin nor her relation?” Xiao Chonghuan was furious.

“What right?” Chang Haotian looked passionately at Su Qingyue, “Qingyue, I’ll put it plainly. In this life, I, Chang Haotian, will marry no one but you. If you won’t marry me, I’ll wait for you a lifetime!”

“Why bother yourself, Master Chang?” Su Qingyue felt the pressure, “I’m already married…”

“Better not mention it, mentioning it just makes me angry,” Chang Haotian glared furiously at the Xiao couple, “These two old things, one act for the shadows, another for the light. I am actually curious when they will stop playing their act, revealing themselves so quickly. With in-laws like these, you haven’t even entered the Xiao Family’s main gate and you are already torn to shreds, not a bone left.”

“Master Chang worries too much,” Su Qingyue said indifferently, “You just stand by and watch. I don’t need your help with my affairs, I can solve them myself.”

“How can I not care about your affairs…”

“Master Chang’s kindness, Su Qingyue appreciated it.”

“I’m going to take care of it.” Chang Haotian made a gesture, and out of nowhere, a black-clad guard appeared, snatching the account book from Shen Yun’s hands.

The guard presented the account book respectfully, “Master.”

“Anything touched by a rag is too dirty, you flip it for me to see,” Chang Haotian commanded, and the guard turned the pages…

Chang Haotian shook his head, “Tch tch… I thought it would be a hefty bill. Vegetables fetched only half a tael of silver, osmanthus cake ten taels…the tailoring fee only fifty taels…nothing expensive! The Xiao Family has become so poor, it’s truly…”

“Humph, 108,000 taels, Master Chang speaks so lightly,” Xiao Chonghuan jeered, “if you’re so capable, why don’t you settle the account?”

Chang Haotian took out a stack of thick silver notes from his sleeve pocket, “Each note is worth 5000 taels of silver, twenty-two notes, that’s 110,000 taels.”

After a brief count, all were handed to Su Qingyue, “Qingyue, this is for you.”

The sum of 110,000 taels was an astronomical figure, completely beyond expectation that Chang Haotian could produce such a large sum so casually. The Xiao couple’s faces changed instantly.

Could it be that Chang Haotian was so wealthy that he could treat tens of thousands of taels in silver notes like pocket money?

Su Qingyue took the silver notes, eyeing him suspiciously, “Are you really settling the account for these two old folks?”

“Of course not,” Chang Haotian said with a smile, “I’ve looked over the account just now. It’s too cheap, extremely cheap, I can afford it. Starting today, I’m living in your house.”

Pointing to the account book, “We’ll go by the prices listed here. I’m prepaying 110,000 taels, but unlike the two frugal old things in the Xiao Family, who only spent a little in forty days, I might spend it all in half a month.”

“I run a restaurant; there’s no reason for me to turn away such a VIP like Master Chang,” Su Qingyue unapologetically tucked the silver notes into her sleeve pocket, “Since you’re prepaying, I’ll accept it, and we’ll go by the prices in the notebook.” She glanced at the servants standing by, “From today, Master Chang is now the esteemed guest of the Xiao Mansion. You all had better serve him well.”

“Yes,” Yinzhu and the other servants bowed their heads respectfully.

Su Qingyue’s piercing eyes swept towards the Xiao Chonghuan couple, “On Su Qingyue’s turf, no one dares to renege on their debts. Are you paying with cash silver or with silver notes? Or perhaps…”
