Certainly, I can help with that. Here's a revised version with some touch-ups and grammar improvements:

Xiao Churan's statement left the entire Xiao family dumbfounded! Everyone thought that Xiao Churan must be crazy! There's a time to make a splash! If you make a splash at this time, what else can you do but die?
The Imperial Group is the biggest company in Jinling. How could they look at the Xiao family? Whoever goes to talk about it, the result is unlikely to be successful!
Xiao Hailong couldn't help but sneer, "Churan, do you think that with you, you can get a contract from the Imperial Group?"
Xiao Hailong's sister and Xiao Churan's cousin, Xiao Weiwei, also sneered at this moment, "Sister Churan, what is your status and what is the status of the Imperial Group? If you go to talk so boldly, don't disgrace our Xiao family!"
Someone else chimed in, "That's right. If she is kicked out by the Imperial Hao Group, our Xiao family will be reduced to a laughingstock in Jinling!"
Xiao Churan sniffed, her cheeks reddened immensely, and she felt doubly ashamed. Since marrying Ye Chen, her status in the family had fallen, becoming less and less valued, almost on the verge of being ostracized. Even her parents had followed suit and suffered much ridicule.
She felt that if she could negotiate this project with the Imperial Group, then her position within the family would be consolidated. Most importantly, her parents would also be able to straighten their backs. But at this moment, being satirized and ridiculed by so many people made her heart also beat a drum of retreat.
She glared at Ye Chen in depression. How could she have listened to his compulsion? If I had known, I wouldn't have come out this head ...
Old Mrs. Xiao was furious in her heart when she heard the words of the crowd. No one dared to take on this task after asking herself several times, and now that Xiao Churan took the initiative to come forward, this group of people started to pour cold water on it again!
Although Old Mrs. Xiao had never liked Xiao Churan. At this time, she felt in her heart that Xiao Churan was at least willing to share her worries, unlike the others who only knew how to add to her problems! Especially her favorite grandson, Xiao Hailong, was too much of a disappointment to herself! Because of this, Old Madam Xiao's attitude towards Xiao Churan has also changed quite a bit.
So she immediately said, "Since the others don't dare to agree, don't talk nonsense! This time, the project cooperation with Imperial Group will be given to Churan to negotiate!"
Xiao Churan could only reply stiffly, "Grandma, don't worry, I will do my best."
At this moment, Xiao Hailong sneered with a cold snort from his nose, "What's the use of going all out? It's still a disgrace to the family if you fail in the end!"
Ye Chen sneered and asked, "Xiao Hailong, what is your purpose in singing the praises of Churan like this? Do you think that the Xiao family is not qualified to cooperate with the Imperial Group?"
Xiao Hailong didn't expect that this waste of a man, Ye Chen, would dare to open his mouth at the family meeting, and he even gave himself a high hat right off the bat.
Seeing that Old Mrs. Xiao's expression was also a bit huffy. He immediately explained, "That's not what I meant. I just don't think Xiao Churan can negotiate this cooperation!"
Ye Chen laughed and asked him, "Then what if Churan can negotiate cooperation? Should we make a bet?"
Xiao Hailong sneered, "Come on, let's bet. Will I be afraid of you? You tell me, what's the bet?"
Ye Chen said, "If Churan negotiates the contract, you kneel and kowtow to me three times and say loudly that you are wrong in front of the whole family. If Churan can't negotiate, I will kowtow to you three times and say loudly that I am wrong. What do you think?"
"Hahahahaha!" Xiao Hailong immediately laughed maniacally, "You punk are looking for death! Alright, I'll bet with you!"
Ye Chen nodded with satisfaction and said, "The whole family is here to witness. Whoever backs out will be dead dad, dead mom, dead grandpa, dead grandma!"
Ye Chen intentionally said the three words "dead grandmother" particularly heavily, just for fear that Xiao Hailong would lose and then back out at that time.
Once this word came out, Xiao Hailong didn't dare to back out because, in that case, wouldn't it be cursing his grandmother, that is, Mrs. Xiao to die? At that time, Old Madam Xiao was afraid that she wouldn't even let him go!
"Good!" Xiao Hailong didn't know that Ye Chen was digging a hole for himself. Instead, he felt that there was no way he could lose. So, he laughed loudly and said, "With the whole family witnessing, I'll wait for you to kowtow to me!"
Xiao Churan was startled and gave him a wink, but he didn't expect him to be completely oblivious.
Old lady Xiao didn't care about this kind of betting. Her only concern was whether she could get into the cooperation list of the Imperial Deluxe Group this time. If she could get in, not to mention letting Xiao Hailong kowtow to Ye Chen, even if she let Xiao Hailong call Ye Chen's father, she didn't care at all.
So, she opened her mouth and said, "Today's meeting ends here. Churan, you have three days to get the contract. Meeting adjourned!"
Back home, father-in-law and mother-in-law immediately glared at Ye Chen and Xiao Churan.
Mother-in-law Ma Lan is anxious and anxious, off the cuff: "Churan, you're crazy. How can you listen to this waste of a word Ye Chen and agree to this errand in a confused manner!"
Father-in-law Xiao Changchun also scolded Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, Ye Chen, you're such a waste, you've harmed my daughter!"
Then, his father-in-law said with an angry face, "If Churan can't negotiate the cooperation of Imperial Group, he will be ostracized by the family, and you, a waste, will have to kneel and kowtow to Xiao Hailong in front of the whole family, and I won't let this old face of mine disgrace you when the time comes?"
Ye Chen seriously said, "Dad, Mom, as long as Churan can negotiate this contract, won't everything be solved?"
"Talk, talk, talk! Negotiate my a*s!"
Ye's father-in-law scolded angrily, "Do you know how strong the Imperial Group is? How could they possibly look at the Xiao family?"
Ye Chen laughed, "Maybe they can look at it? I just think that Churan must have no problem and can!”
