Chapter 304: Chapter 304: Grandma Has a Favor to Ask You_1

The next day, at six in the evening, Luo Family Villa.

Mo Han appeared at the entrance of the villa with his father-in-law, mother-in-law, his wife, and their children in tow.

This time, Luo Yuantu unexpectedly stepped forward himself, bowing as he respectfully welcomed Mo Han and his entourage into the villa.

In the past, such treatment would have been absolutely impossible.

Upon reaching the living room, the table was neatly set with over twenty dishes, each bursting with color, aroma, and flavor—it was immediately appetizing.

"Shan Chuan, Mei Feng, you’re here, please, take a seat."

As people arrived, the elderly lady stood up from her chair and ushered Luo Shanchuan and the others to the table.

Even Luo Xuanran and his sister, who were usually unpleasant toward Luo Ning and Mo Han, had smiles plastered on their faces for the entire duration this time.

It was the first time in nearly thirty years that Yang Meifeng, having married into the Luo Family, experienced such treatment.

Her face was full of joy at this moment, yet she was unaware that a silent conspiracy was unfolding.

Luo Shanchuan was also rather pleasantly surprised, as he, being the patriarch’s illegitimate son, was not favored by his mother; even his wife and children were treated the same.

But today, his mother had suddenly organized a banquet and talked with such warmth; this was beyond his imagination.

At this moment, Luo Ning’s eyes were also somewhat moist—it appeared that the day had finally come when grandmother considered their whole family as her own.

Only Mo Han remained unaffected throughout, not speaking to anyone else, just serving his daughter food and spinning tales, while he observed everything coolly.

Unwarranted attention is either scheming or thieving!

He knew the temperament of the elderly lady and Luo Yuantu all too well; this meal was not going to be easy to swallow.

As expected, about ten minutes into the meal, the elderly lady gave a light cough and set down her utensils.

Luo Yuantu understood the cue, stood up and glanced around, finally focusing his gaze on Luo Shanchuan and Luo Ning before saying, "Second brother, Ning’er, I’m sure you’re both aware of the difficulties faced by the company recently."

"The company is in urgent need of cash flow. Otherwise, we won’t be able to pay for materials, workers’ wages will go unpaid, and many projects will have to be halted."

"To solve the current predicament, all staff members have subscribed for shares. Look, this is my subscription for shares—twenty shares, amounting to two million..."

Before Luo Yuantu could finish, Luo Ning stood up and said, "General Manager Luo, you don’t need to say more, our family will subscribe for two shares!"

Two shares amounted to two hundred thousand.

It wasn’t that Luo Ning lacked funds—her hands were currently tied with more than four and a half million. However, the recent matters with the Blacklight Pier and the commercial bank loan had utterly wounded her heart.

She had resolved to leave Luo Group and thus was only willing to provide two hundred thousand as a final show of support.

Even if Yang Meifeng was rather simple, by now she understood the reality.

The old lady had organized a dinner under the pretense of hospitality, but the true purpose was to get them to put up money.

Realizing this, she shot Luo Ning a sideways glance. To part with two hundred thousand without even discussing it with me, does she think money grows on trees?

The old lady’s eyebrows knit together, seemingly somewhat displeased.

Fearing the old lady’s potentially exorbitant demands, Yang Meifeng promptly stood up, accusing, "Ning’er, how can you make such a decision on your own to take out so much money?"

"Aren’t you aware of our family’s situation?"

"You’ve only been the general manager at Luo Group for a short while, and you haven’t been paid for two months..."

Just as Yang Meifeng wanted to continue, Luo Shanchuan interrupted her, "Mei Feng! Ning’er has made her decision and, after all, the company is really in trouble. Two hundred thousand is two hundred thousand then!"

Luo Yuantu listened with a sneer. His brother and sister-in-law were playing good cop, bad cop quite splendidly. Did they really think he couldn’t see through them?

"Stingy thing."

Chen Guihua snorted through her nose, feeling greatly displeased. To support the decision made by the matriarch, their family had put forth two million.

Yet Yang Meifeng was reluctant even to offer two hundred thousand.

Unexpectedly, the old lady did not make an exorbitant demand this time. She waved her hand dismissively and said indifferently, "While two hundred thousand isn’t a lot, it will still help the company. Ning’er, I thank you on behalf of the company."

Luo Ning quickly gestured with her hands, "Chairman, there’s no need for thanks, it’s the least I can do..."

From the moment she arrived, Luo Ning had not once called anyone uncle or grandmother but substituted these familial terms with formal titles instead.

Mo Han knew that Luo Ning had lost all hope in being part of the Luo Family.

However, the old lady’s behavior today puzzled him—two hundred thousand to settle the issue? When had the old lady become so lenient?

"That two hundred thousand will be deposited into the company’s account tomorrow," Luo Ning put down her chopsticks and politely said, "Chairman, if there’s nothing else, we’ll be heading back..."

As she said this, she had already pulled back her chair and was ready to leave, tugging at her daughter.

"Wait a moment!"

Just then, the old lady seated at the head of the table spoke up, "Don’t be in such a hurry to leave, grandmother has a favor to ask of you."

She talked of a favor, but there wasn’t a hint of pleading on her face—she still held an air of superiority.

A sense of foreboding struck both Luo Ning and her parents simultaneously, and Luo Shanchuan was the first to speak, "Mother, what kind of words are these? We’re all family, and you’re our elder. How could you say ’ask’?"

"If there really is something, please just tell us. If it’s within our power, we’ll make sure to do it without any fuzziness."

"Heh heh..."

The old lady chuckled softly and spoke slowly, "Shan Chuan, this matter, your family can indeed handle it."

"Don’t you have a villa at East City’s Polaris worth 1.7 billion?"

"Now, with the company’s cash shortage, besides the factory and the office building, we have nothing of significant value left to mortgage."

"I’d like to temporarily mortgage your Polaris Number One villa to secure a loan until the company can cover its receivables, after which we’ll buy back the house."
