Super Greedy
The matter had just ended, and now the Xiao family was knocking on his door again!
Pengzhan turned and went into his office breakroom, and the Xiao family didn't follow him in. They just stood there, smiling coldly.
In the breakroom, Pengzhan dialed his daughter's number, but hung it up after some thought. She was probably at school at this time, so he called Lin Yi directly.
"Uncle Chu!" Lin Yi was at Xuemin's house with Kang Xiaobo and Fatty Lai. He had some things to take care of before he left.
"Yi, I want to ask you about something. It's about Yao Yao and a person called Gou Huli …" Pengzhan said.
"Oh? Gou Huli? " Lin Yi paused, remembering this person. He told Pengzhan about what happened, "But, it's been a while, why are you asking about this all of a sudden, Uncle Chu?"
"Gou Huli, the wife of the Xiao family's young master, Xiao Ji. Now, they're here …" Pengzhan sighed.
According to Lin Yi, although Yao Yao and Shu were at fault in the beginning, it was just a small dispute. They only wet Gou Huli's clothes, and after Yao Yao and Shu apologized and asked for compensation, Gou Huli was being unreasonable …
But now, the Xiao family was using this as an excuse to say that Yao Yao was the one who insulted Gou Huli. It seemed that the Xiao family didn't come with good intentions!
"Oh?" Lin Yi paused, "They're from Yanjing's Xiao family? They're here? "
Lin Yi didn't think that the enemy would come this soon. Mengyao and Gou Huli's dispute had been going on for a while, but the Xiao family hadn't made a move yet. They just had to come when Faubert was injured, and he didn't have any strength left. There had to be a conspiracy behind this!
However, Lin Yi was powerless! He had only met the two juniors of the Xiao family once, and he didn't have any advantage in terms of strength!
"Hehe, it's nothing. I can still handle it. I just want to verify it with you. Don't worry." Pengzhan sighed, thanking his lucky stars that Wei Zhizun had arrived. Otherwise, the Xiao family would've eaten him up for sure.
Hanging up the call with Lin Yi, Pengzhan turned around and walked out of the lounge. He looked at the Xiao family brothers, then at the old man beside them, and his eyes narrowed.
Pengzhan hadn't noticed this person before, but upon closer inspection, he realized that there was a thick killing intent emanating from him. Pengzhan might be a normal person, but facing a master like this still gave him the chills.
Could he be the legendary guardian of the Xiao family, Uncle Pi? If it was really him, then the Xiao family must have some ulterior motive for coming here this time!
"Mister Xiao, I've already made the phone call, but this matter doesn't seem to be the fault of my daughter alone, does it?" Pengzhan said, neither servile nor overbearing. "If we were to say something wrong, it would be that your wife's attitude was a little impatient!"
"Fuck you! What did you say?! " Xiao Ji couldn't help but curse at Pengzhan's words. "We, the Xiao family, don't need you to teach us what to do!"
Before the old man of the Xiao family had passed away, Xiao Ji had been a good-for-nothing hedonistic young master. He had spent his days fighting and mingling with other hedonistic young masters, causing trouble everywhere he went. But at that time, the Xiao family was at its peak, so it didn't matter.
These few years, Xiao Ji had toned down a little, but his bad temper and good-for-nothing personality hadn't changed. Pengzhan's nonsensical words pissed him off.
Pengzhan didn't expect Xiao Ji to be this uncultured, cursing at the slightest disagreement- how was this a meeting between people of status?
"Mister Xiao, what's the meaning of this?" Pengzhan took a deep breath. "You're here to cause trouble?"
"So what if I am? I'm not afraid to tell you that I'm here to get back at my wife! " Xiao Ji hmphed coldly as he kicked the sofa in the office. "You dare bully the Xiao family? I think you're tired of living, aren't you? My Xiao family is still a noble house, no matter how weak we are! Who do you think you are, Pengzhan?! "
Wei Zhizun, on the other hand, was sitting on the side, enjoying the show. Since Pengzhan didn't ask him to make a move, he was more than happy to watch the show. Only when the situation became more and more dangerous would he be able to make a move and show his power!
"Xiao Ji, are you here to cause trouble? What do you want? Just say it. " Pengzhan didn't believe that Xiao Ji and Xiao Ben were just cursing and smashing things. There had to be some other purpose.
"Alright, big bro, calm down first. Let me talk to Mister Chu!" Xiao Ben was very satisfied with his brother's actions- he'd put Pengzhan in his place first, and the following conditions would be easier to negotiate! So Xiao Ben pretended to persuade Xiao Ji first before continuing. "I believe that Mister Chu is a smart man, and will definitely compensate our Xiao family. Am I right, Mister Chu?"
"Hmph!" Xiao Ji hmphed coldly as he sat on the sofa, not saying another word.
"Just say what you want, won't you?" Pengzhan, of course, knew what the Xiao family brothers were here for. They were just using this as an excuse to ask for some benefits!
"Good!" Xiao Ben looked at Pengzhan and nodded. "Our Xiao family is a noble house, and even if we're a little down and out right now, the Xiao family isn't someone you can just humiliate! If Mister Chu doesn't pay a price, won't everyone start humiliating our Xiao family? "
"What price do you want?" Pengzhan asked, suppressing the anger in his heart. It'd been so long, and the Xiaos had only just come to their doorstep, and the timing was quite coincidental, coming only when Li Fu and Lin Yi were injured! Pengzhan couldn't help but suspect that they'd come after receiving the news!
"We won't ask for much, Xiao family is here to do business, after all. How about this, Mister Chu, why don't you just give us the Pengzhan Mall and Pengzhan Hotel to Xiao family, and give us two hundred million as a starting capital, and we'll call it quits!" Xiao Ben said straightforwardly. Plus, he didn't want to pay up at all. Seeing Pengzhan's angry face, his greed grew.
