A thin bank card stung Yue Li's eyes and soft heart. She never dreamed that one day she would be betrayed for money, and the person who wanted to buy her would be the boy she grew up with and whom she liked.
Yue Li bit her lip with her white teeth and was silent for half a minute. Then she suddenly raised her head and said in a deep voice: "Three hundred thousand. If you give me three hundred thousand within a week, I will be your daughter-in-law." My friend, even if you ask me to marry you, I will be willing to do so."
Yang Pengchao shouted angrily: "Are you crazy?"
Yue Li smiled sadly, and finally couldn't control the tears in her eyes. Her tone was tearful, but she tried hard to control her emotions and said: "I'm not crazy, I like money, and I like the satisfaction that money brings me. Three hundred thousand, if you can come up with three hundred thousand, anything can be said. If the money is not enough, stay away from me, and we will never see you again."
"I… "
Yang Pengchao's heart was also trembling. He also liked Yue Li, but because of his poor family conditions, he always put away his inferiority complex. No matter how well he did in the county town, family problems were like a chain, making him depressed and uncomfortable.
The end of the first year of high school.
He gave up studying and went to Zheng City to work in prostitution alone. He suffered a lot and committed many crimes. But he kept one thing in mind, making money and waiting for Yue Li in Zheng City. Because Yue Li said that the college entrance examination depends on Zhengzhou University, and he needs to have the ability and money to protect Yue Li while she is in college.
But.
A full three hundred thousand!
Even if he tries his best to piece together things now, he can only get a hundred thousand at most, which is less than half of the three hundred thousand.
There was a trace of contempt in Yue Li's eyes. Although she didn't want to look at Yang Pengchao with such eyes, she had to do so. She needs money, needs money to save her life, and this life is her mother who depends on each other for life.
"hehe… "
With a cold laugh, Yue Li restrained herself from looking at Yang Pengchao again, passed him by, and walked away.
Yang Pengchao opened his mouth many times, but as soon as the words he wanted to say came to his lips, he could not spit them out. Having no money was like a knife stabbing into his heart. However, he vaguely guessed some problems, such as why Yue Li was so anxious to ask for 300,000 yuan.
"Mengzi, after smoking a cigarette, I am going back to the city. In the past seven days, you have to watch out for Yue Li. If anyone dares to bully her, please contact me immediately."
"Um."
Mengzi nodded heavily.
The two of them returned to the dilapidated newsstand and sat down on the horses outside. Yang Pengchao grabbed a newspaper and fanned it a few times as he puffed out clouds of smoke.
"pity… "
Mengzi seemed to have thought of something, and shook his head with a wry smile.
In order to divert his uncomfortable attention, Yang Pengchao asked: "What's a pity?"
Mengzi said: "It's a pity that we don't have money, alas... Let alone money, even if we have some treasures at home, we can become billionaires immediately. Brother Pengchao, you think my ancestors didn't leave any legacy to us descendants?" There’s a jade carving!”
Yang Pengchao frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's incoherent and I don't know what to say."
Mengzi rolled his eyes, reached out and grabbed the newspaper in Yang Pengchao's hand, placed the big subtitles on the front page in front of Yang Pengchao, and said, "What did I say? You can see it yourself."
Yang Pengchao looked around. After just ten seconds, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes burst into ecstasy. Without even saying hello to Mengzi, he rushed towards the direction Yue Li left.
"Yue Li."
A few minutes later, Yang Pengchao caught up with Yue Li.
Yue Li's face was still a little pale. She looked at Yang Pengchao who was standing in front of her and said, "What else do you want to say?"
Yang Pengchao said seriously: "You only need to answer my question sincerely. If after answering, I still cannot give you 300,000, I promise that I will never pester you again in this life."
"You ask."
Yue Li took a deep breath and said.
Yang Pengchao asked: "I want to know, why are you so anxious to ask for 300,000 yuan?"
Yue Li said: "Give my mother a doctor."
really!
Yang Pengchao had thought about this reason just now. Now when he heard Yue Li's answer, he was so excited that he held Yue Li in his arms and said in a trembling voice: "I know you are not the kind of woman who loves vanity. Come with me! Let's go Go to Shanghai and go to the impromptu appraisal meeting held by Dafu Jewelry. I guarantee that the money I will give you within a week is more than 300,000. Even if you want 3 million, 30 million, or even 300 million, I can give it to you. "
"You're crazy."
Yue Li pushed Yang Pengchao away and shouted loudly.
Yang Pengchao reached out and placed the newspaper in front of Yue Li, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know if you have read the contents of this newspaper before, but I can tell you clearly that I have a jade sculpture. Jade Monkey, the twelve zodiac animals One of the statues is the Jade Monkey.”
Yue Li's eyes widened and she looked back from the newspaper with disbelief. She looked at Yang Pengchao and asked in a trembling voice: "Do you... really have a Jade Monkey?"
Yang Pengchao solemnly said: "Yes, there are images of jade dragons and jade tigers in this newspaper. They are all red and the carvings are lifelike. And my jade monkey is also red all over and the carvings are very exquisite. They are very similar to the jade dragons and tigers on the pattern. One piece from a set.”
Yue Li's lips moved, and it took a long time before she uttered a sentence: "I'll go with you."
Northeast black market.
Chen Jianshe had been standing in front of the old man's house for four hours. In this hot noon, even though he was strong and strong, he was still suffering from the sun.
"Get out of here, get away from me. You want a jade cow? You're just wishful thinking!" An old man's curse came from the courtyard.
Chen Jianshe begged: "Dad, there's nothing I can do about it! Xiaolin wants to marry a wife, your house and yard need to be repaired, and Yaya still needs to study, which all requires money! Can you bear to look at your grandson? Do you want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life? Can you bear to see your granddaughter drop out of school and go home? Dad, I’m going to keep that jade cow. If I can’t eat or drink it, it’s better to sell it to Dafu Jewelry.”
There was no sound in the courtyard for a long time.
finally.
As the courtyard door opened, an old man with white hair threw out a box wrapped in a yellow cloth, hit Chen Jianshe and cursed angrily: "Take the thing and get out of here, don't hang around in front of me in the future." . It’s a prodigal thing. Only such an old thing is left. I didn’t expect that in my generation, it would be gone like this. What a sin!”
Chen Jianshe held the things in his arms, knelt down in front of the old man, kowtowed a few times, got up, turned around and ran away.
Beijing.
In a residential building near Maqiao outside the Sixth Ring Road, Mo Xiaohan played with the jade rooster in her hand, with a hesitant look on her delicate face.
She is not short of money.
As a senior white-collar worker in a foreign company in Beijing, her income is very considerable, and her family's financial situation is pretty good, so she has no problem living a well-off life.
But.
She was shocked by the astronomical price of 100 million US dollars. She had never thought that she would have the opportunity to obtain astronomical wealth of 100 million US dollars in this life. She never imagined that the jade chicken her mother left to her before she died would be so valuable.
"Ring ring ring..."
The urgent ringtone of life interrupted Mo Xiaohan's hesitant thinking.
When she grabbed the phone and saw the name displayed on the screen, the corners of her mouth twitched a few times. After more than ten seconds, she pressed the answer button and said: "Mr. Li, you..."
"Forget it, why are you absent from work for no reason today? When will you give me the planning document I want? This is unreasonable, it's really outrageous." A middle-aged man yelled angrily from the phone.
Mo Xiaohan hurriedly said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I really have something to do today. I have only written half of the plan. Do you think you can give me two more days?"
"Fart, I've given you almost a week, and you're telling me that I've only written half of it? Mo Xiaohan, if you can do it, do it. If you can't, just pack up and get out. Half an hour, I'll give you half an hour Time, if you don’t appear in front of me within half an hour, I will let you know how many eyes Lord Ma has." The roar came from the phone again.
Mo Xiaohan's expression changed, and a burst of anger burst from her chest, and she shouted loudly: "Get out of here, my aunt, I won't serve you anymore. Have your things thrown away by me in the company! I I'm too lazy to go to the company to see how many eyes you have."
Finished.
She hung up the phone angrily and had an idea in mind: go to Shanghai.
Fukang Province.
In a European-style villa building, Zhang Moyuan looked at the financial statements in front of him with a frown, and he pulled out a few more of the few hairs he had left. Since the economic crisis started a few years ago, the business of his group company has been declining year by year, and now there is even a situation of insufficient cash flow.
"Money! If only a windfall could fall from the sky."
Zhang Moyuan smoked the last cigarette in a pack of cigarettes, rubbed his temples, took out his phone and opened WeChat. There are many of his old friends here, including many wealthy businessmen. But he thought about it for a long time, but found that he didn't know who to lend money to or who he could borrow money from.
“We usually have friends all over the world, but in times of crisis we realize that we are all fair-weather friends.”
Zhang Moyuan shook his head helplessly. Just when he was about to leave his phone on the table, a message suddenly attracted his attention. To be precise, it should be the two jade carving patterns on the message.
"Jade dragon? Jade tiger?"
Zhang Moyuan's eyes widened and he looked at it carefully for a while before moving his eyes to the words above. When he finished reading the above content, the sullen expression on his face had completely disappeared, replaced by an expression of ecstasy.
"One hundred million dollars!"
Zhang Moyuan staggered out of the room, sprinted to the study room, grabbed a box from the corner, opened it carefully, and what appeared inside was a red, lifelike jade rabbit.
