The thin bank card stung Yue Li's eyes and soft heart. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect that one day she would sell herself for money. Moreover, the person who wanted to buy her turned out to be the boy she grew up with and liked.
Yue Li bit her lips and fell silent for half a minute. Then she suddenly looked up and said in a deep voice, "300,000 yuan. I'll be your girlfriend if you give me 300,000 yuan in a week. I'm willing to marry you even if you want me to. "
"Are you crazy?" Yang Pengchao angrily shouted.
Yue Li let out a sad smile. She finally couldn't control the tears rolling down from her eyes. She sounded like she was about to cry, but she tried her best to restrain her emotions and said, "I'm not crazy. I like money. I like the sense of satisfaction money brings me. 300,000 yuan. If you can come up with 300,000 yuan, I'll do anything. But if you don't have enough money, you can stay far away from me and never see me again. "
"I …"
Yang Pengchao's heart was also trembling. He also liked Yue Li, but he always put away his inferiority complex due to his poor family conditions. No matter how he mingled in the county, his family's problems were like a chain that made him feel depressed and uncomfortable.
The end of his first year of high school.
He gave up on continuing his studies and went to Zheng City alone. He suffered a lot and suffered a lot. But he kept one thing in mind, that was to make money and wait for Yue Li in Zheng City. It was because Yue Li said that she needed to rely on Zheng City's University for the College Entrance Test, and he needed to have the ability and money to protect her while she was in university.
However …
It was 300,000 yuan!
Even if he racked his brains to scrape together the money, he could only get a few hundred thousand yuan at most, which was less than half of the 300,000 yuan.
A trace of contempt could be seen in Yue Li's eyes. Although she didn't want to look at Yang Pengchao with such eyes, she had to do it. She needed money. She needed money to save her life, and this life belonged to her mother, who she was dependent on.
"Hehe …"
With a cold laugh, Yue Li restrained herself from looking at Yang Pengchao again. She brushed past him and walked into the distance.
Yang Pengchao opened his mouth many times. The words he wanted to say were just at the tip of his tongue, yet he couldn't spit them out. His lack of money was like a knife stabbing into his heart. However, he vaguely guessed some questions, such as why Yue Li was so anxious to ask for 300,000 yuan.
"Mengzi, after this cigarette, I'm going back to the city. Keep an eye on Yue Li for the next seven days. If anyone dares to bully her, contact me immediately. "
"Yes."
Mengzi nodded heavily.
The two of them returned to the dilapidated kiosk and sat down on the folding stool outside. As he puffed out the smoke, Yang Pengchao grabbed a newspaper and fanned it a few times.
"What a pity …"
Mengzi seemed to have thought of something and shook his head with a wry smile.
In order to distract himself, Yang Pengchao asked, "What's the 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 immediately become billionaires. Big Brother Pengchao, say, why didn't my family's ancestor leave a jade sculpture for us descendants! "
Yang Pengchao frowned and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know what you're talking about. "
Mengzi rolled his eyes and grabbed the newspaper in Yang Pengchao's hand. He placed the headline on the front page in front of Yang Pengchao and said, "What did I say? Look at it yourself and you'll know. "
Yang Pengchao looked at it. In just a few seconds, his pupils suddenly shrunk and a look of ecstasy burst from his eyes. He didn't even greet Mengzi and dashed toward the direction where Yue Li left.
"Yue Li!"
A few minutes later, Yang Pengchao caught up with Yue Li.
Yue Li's complexion was still a bit pale. She looked at Yang Pengchao who was blocking in front of her and said, "What else do you want to say?"
Yang Pengchao seriously said, "You just need to answer my question sincerely. If I still can't give you 300,000 yuan after answering, I promise I won't pester you for the rest of my life."
"Ask away."
Yue Li took a deep breath and said.
Yang Pengchao asked, "I want to know why are you so anxious to get 300,000 yuan?"
Yue Li said, "To treat my Mom."
Sure enough!
Yang Pengchao had just thought about this reason. Now that he heard Yue Li's answer, he excitedly hugged her and said with a trembling voice, "I know you're not the kind of woman who loves vanity. Come with me! We'll go to Shanghai and attend the temporary appraisal meeting held by the Grand Fortune Jewelry. I guarantee that I'll give you more than 300,000 yuan in a week. Even if you want 3 million, 30 million, or even 300 million yuan, I'll give it to you. "
"You're crazy!"
Yue Li pushed Yang Pengchao away and shouted.
Yang Pengchao put the newspaper in front of Yue Li and said in a deep voice, "I don't know if you've seen the contents of this newspaper before, but I can tell you clearly that I have a jade carving. It's a jade monkey, one of the twelve zodiac carvings. "
Yue Li's eyes widened. She looked at Yang Pengchao with disbelief and asked with a trembling voice, "You … you really have a jade monkey?"
"That's right," said Yang Pengchao solemnly. "This newspaper has the image of a jade dragon and a jade tiger. The whole body is red and the carvings are vivid and lifelike. My jade monkey is also red in color and the carvings are very exquisite. It's very similar to the jade dragon and tiger in the pattern. It's part of a set. "
Yue Li's lips squirmed. After a long while, she spat out a sentence, "I'll go with you."
Northeast Black Market.
Chen Jianshe had been standing in front of the old man's door for four hours. Despite his strong physique, he still felt uncomfortable under the hot sun at noon.
"Scram! Scram far away! You want the jade ox? Wishful thinking! "The old man's cursing voice came from the courtyard.
"I have no other choice, Dad!" Chen Jianshe begged. "Little Lin wants to marry a wife, your house and courtyard need to be repaired, and Yaya still needs to study. All of these need money! Do you have the heart to watch your grandson be a bachelor for the rest of his life? Do you have the heart to watch your granddaughter drop out of school and go home? Dad, that jade ox is just for show. It can't be eaten or drunk, so it's better to sell it to the Grand Fortune Jewelry. "
No sound came from the courtyard for a long time.
Finally.
As the courtyard door opened, a white-haired old man forcefully threw out a box wrapped in yellow cloth and smashed it on Chen Jianshe. He angrily scolded, "Take the thing and scram. Don't hang around in front of me in the future. I only have this old thing left. I didn't expect that it would be gone in my generation. What a sin! "
Chen Jianshe held the thing in his arms and knelt in front of the old man. After knocking his head a few times, he got up and turned to run away.
The Capital.
In a residential building near the Horse Bridge outside the Sixth Ring Road, Mo Xiaohan was playing with the jade chicken in her hand. There was a hesitant look on her pretty face.
She was not short of money.
As a senior white-collar worker in a foreign company in the Capital, her income was very considerable. Coupled with the good conditions of her family, it was not a problem for her to live a well-off life.
However.
She was shocked by the sky-high price of 100 million US dollars. She never thought that she would have the opportunity to get the astronomical wealth of 100 million US dollars in this life. She never thought that the jade chicken left to her by her mother before she died would be so valuable.
"Ring, ring, ring …"
The urgent ringing of the phone interrupted Mo Xiaohan's hesitation.
When she grabbed the phone and saw the name displayed on the screen, the corner of her mouth suddenly twitched a few times. Ten seconds later, she pressed the answer button and said, "Manager Li, you …"
"Don't you, you, you. Why did you skip work today? When can you give me the proposal I want? Outrageous! You're really going against the Heavens! "A middle-aged man's angry shout came from the phone.
Mo Xiaohan quickly said with a smile, "Manager Li, I really have something to do today. I've only written half of the proposal. Can you give me two more days?"
"Bullshit! I've given you almost a week, and you're telling me that you've only written half of it? Mo Xiaohan, if you can do it, then do it. If you can't, then pack up and get lost. Half an hour. I'll give you half an hour. If you don't appear in front of me within half an hour, I'll let you know how many eyes I have. "The roar came from the phone again.
Mo Xiaohan's complexion changed. A burst of anger erupted from her chest as she shouted, "Get lost then! This Great Aunt doesn't want to serve you anymore. Get someone to throw away all of my things in the company! I'm too lazy to go to the company to see how many eyes you have. "
After saying that …
She hung up the phone angrily and had an idea in her mind. Go to Shanghai.
Fukang Province.
Inside a European-style villa, Zhang Moyuan looked at the financial statements in front of him with a frown. He pulled out a few strands of his remaining hair. Ever since the economic crisis began a few years ago, the business of his company had been deteriorating year by year. Now, there was a cash flow problem.
"Money! It would be great if a windfall fell from the sky. "
Zhang Moyuan smoked the last cigarette in his pack. After rubbing his temples, he took out his mobile phone and opened his WeChat. Many of his old friends were there, many of whom were rich businessmen. But after thinking about it for a long time, he found that he didn't know who he should borrow money from.
"I usually have friends all over the world. Only when I'm in trouble do I realize that they're all fair-weather friends."
Zhang Moyuan shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to throw his mobile phone on the table, a message suddenly attracted his attention. To be precise, it should be the two jade carvings on the message.
"Jade Dragon? Jade Tiger? "
Zhang Moyuan's eyes widened. After carefully looking at it for a while, he shifted his gaze to the text above. When he finished reading the content above, the frown had completely disappeared and was replaced by ecstasy.
"100 million US dollars!"
Zhang Moyuan staggered out of the room and quickly sprinted to the study. He grabbed a box from the corner and carefully opened it. What appeared in front of him was a lifelike, crimson red jade rabbit.
