After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 222: Battle of Words
Qian Murong sneered, "You think everything's fine just because you notified him? Go ahead, tell him that my father is waiting for him to come home."

Su Xiaoxiao was led onto the carriage by those people, and her hands were tied with a rope. She did not struggle, after all, there were so many people, and even if she struggled, it would be useless.

Su Xiaoxiao sat alone in the carriage and followed these people for about an hour before stopping in front of a large mansion.

Then Su Xiaoxiao was pulled out of the car and taken inside.

As he entered the hall, he looked down at Su Xiaoxiao from the seat of honor, casting a fierce gaze upon her.

Su Xiaoxiao felt uncomfortable all over. She looked up and saw an old man sitting on it.

The old man had a face like a silver basin, white hair, but he was in good spirits, and his eyes revealed two cold glints.

He looked Su Xiaoxiao up and down, staring at her so intently that she felt extremely uncomfortable.

However, Su Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all. Although the people standing around her were all managers and thugs from the Qian family, each of them looked very fierce, Su Xiaoxiao still puffed out her chest.

Qian Murong called out to the people above, "Father, I've brought the person!"

Sure enough, the person standing in the hall above was Qian Musheng's father, and they even looked somewhat alike.

Grandpa Qian coughed and asked Su Xiaoxiao below, "Are you Su Xiaoxiao?"

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Are you Qian Musheng's father? What brings you here?"

Upon hearing this, Old Master Qian noticed that Su Xiaoxiao showed no fear whatsoever, remaining calm and composed. He thought to himself that this woman was extraordinary; despite her young age, she remained fearless in the face of danger, even after being captured and brought to this place alone, she still exuded confidence.

"You misled my second son, Qian Musheng, into investing in a business. How should this be accounted for? You've committed fraud, do you know that?"

Su Xiaoxiao never expected that she would be accused of fraud. Qian Musheng is a minor, isn't he? How could I cheat him out of his money to do business?

Su Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "Your Qian Musheng is so shrewd, he's almost as cunning as a shrewd businessman. He's been running his own business for so many years. How could I possibly swindle his money and get him to invest and join us?"
It's like a joke.

Su Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment before speaking, "Grandpa Qian, what you say is strange."

Upon hearing this, Old Master Qian flew into a rage and said, "How dare you say that I am wrong?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Yes, Mr. Qian, I knew you were wrong. Although you have a high status and are a prominent figure in the capital, more powerful and influential than us ordinary people, there is a saying that 'even a prince is subject to the same laws as a commoner.' Of course, I have to point out your mistakes."

Qian Murong was also furious and pointed at Su Xiaoxiao.

"Su Xiaoxiao, watch your words!"

Old Master Qian interrupted Qian Murong, "Yes, tell me, what exactly did I do wrong?"

Su Xiaoxiao sneered, "First of all, your second young master, Qian Musheng, is already an adult. According to him, he has been learning business with you since he was a child, right?"

Grandpa Qian nodded, and Su Xiaoxiao continued, "He owns the largest restaurant in our town, Baxianlou, that's true, right?"

Grandpa Qian continued to nod. "When it comes to business, I don't know how many years behind he is. He's incredibly shrewd, and everyone who's worked with him has talked about it. He joined my jam workshop, and the Baihua Village jam workshop was already built and operational six months ago. Have you asked him how much profit he's received in those six months, or whether the investment was profitable or not?"

"This……"

Grandpa Qian couldn't answer.

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao couldn't be allowed to gain the upper hand, Qian Murong immediately added from the side, "Alright, Su Xiaoxiao, let's put other things aside for now. Let's talk about the new soy sauce workshop. Didn't he invest a large sum of money in you as well?"

"Yes, he did invest a large sum of money, but it was his own choice. No one forced him, and he was the one who brought up the idea of ​​investing money."

Su Xiaoxiao continued.

"Really? I think it's you, you vixen, who bewitched him, that's why he didn't think straight and invested so much money in you, right?"

Qian Murong chimed in from the side.

This Qian Murong looks very proper and has a sanctimonious appearance. He really is a hypocrite. He is the one who speaks the most immoral and insidious words here.

Su Xiaoxiao really didn't want to talk to him, but you know, petty people don't just disappear from your sight if you ignore them.

Su Xiaoxiao was both angry and amused. "First of all, watch your mouth and stop calling me a 'wicked woman' like that. Please respect women. Your mother was a woman too, right? She went through so much to give birth to you. Shouldn't you show some respect to all women in the world?"

"This...you!"

Qian Murong didn't know how to answer. He stared at Su Xiaoxiao angrily, his eyes practically popping out of their sockets. Luckily, his eyes weren't big, or they would have popped out of his head.

"Secondly, when I signed the investment contract for the new soy sauce with your Qian Musheng, he was more clear-headed than anyone else. The terms and conditions of the contract were clear, fair, and understandable. The new soy sauce workshop has just started production and hasn't started making a profit yet. How do you know that he has lost all his money and was tricked into investing in the new soy sauce workshop? Therefore, I don't think I did anything wrong!"

"presumptuous!"

"How dare you speak to my father like that! Men, beat him up!"

Qian Murong had just been humiliated by Su Xiaoxiao, and now he had nowhere to vent his anger.

Several burly thugs rushed up aggressively, shoving Su Xiaoxiao and raising their wooden sticks.

The wooden stick was thicker than Su Xiaoxiao's arm. If it hit Su Xiaoxiao, at best her bones would break and her tendons would be broken, and at worst she would probably lose her life.

Su Xiaoxiao coldly rebuked, "Let's see which of you dares to come over. I am now a merchant who is doing business with Prince Gong. Logically speaking, we are of equal status. What gives you the right to lay a hand on me?"

Su Xiaoxiao glared angrily at Old Master Qian above. Old Master Qian didn't say anything. The thugs next to him glanced at Qian Murong's attitude and then rushed up together.

Su Xiaoxiao's hands were tied behind her back, but that didn't hinder her legwork.

She dodged and weaved with agility, quickly kicking the burly men to the ground. After several rounds, none of the thugs could get close to Su Xiaoxiao.
