Chen Youshan took his eyes back from the luxurious decoration around him, and then looked at the cup of tea next to him that was no longer steaming, and stopped talking a few times.

He's been sitting here for a whole hour.

Across from him, the Madame Shen also sat with him for an hour.

During the period, he didn't say a word, the atmosphere was extremely weird and weird, as long as he was a normal person, I am afraid it would be difficult to sit down.

"Ahem......" After sitting for another ten minutes, Chen Youshan finally couldn't sit still, coughed dryly, and looked at the other side: "Mrs. Shen? ”

"Huh?" Madam Shen, who had been staring at him, made a voice from her nose, her face did not change at all, and she was still looking at him with a gaze like a monster.

"If Mr. Shen is not here, I will come back another day." Chen Youshan wanted to get up and leave.

Being stared at like a neurotic for more than an hour, I'm afraid no one can stand it.

"How can this half of the jade pendant be in your hand?" Mrs. Shen looked straight at him, and the corners of her eyes were a little unkind.

Chen Youshan looked helpless and said again: "I already said at the door, this is what the master gave me." ”

Mrs. Shen frowned slightly: "Master? ”

"Yes." Chen Youshan nodded seriously.

Mrs. Shen fell silent, as if she was recalling something, and after a while, she looked at the jade pendant in his hand again, and asked with a complicated expression, "What do you want?" ”

Chen Youshan was slightly stunned: "Madam, I don't understand what you mean. ”

Mrs. Shen looked at him with disdain, pointed to the half of the jade pendant in his hand, and said, "Don't pretend to be confused, didn't you come with this jade pendant today to ask for money?" ”

"Are you talking about it?" Chen Youshan looked at the jade pendant in his hand, and then at the look on her face, and finally understood something.

Mrs. Shen looked at him with a sarcastic expression, as if to say that you are asking knowingly.

Chen Youshan knew that she had misunderstood her intentions, and after thinking about it slightly, he took out an envelope from his body.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen's face changed greatly after seeing this envelope, and before he could say anything, she preemptively said, "One million." ”

Chen Youshan's arm that wanted to hand over the envelope stiffened slightly, looked at her a little blankly, and asked, "Madam, I don't understand." ”

Mrs. Shen said: "Give me the jade pendant, and the Shen family will give you one million." ”

Chen Youshan smiled and said, "Madam, you seem to have misunderstood, I'm not here to ask for money today, please transfer this letter to Mr. Shen, he will naturally understand after reading it." ”

"Two million!" For some reason, Mrs. Shen's breathing became a little rapid, and she seemed to be very nervous.

Chen Youshan looked at her very puzzled, and said secretly, could it be that I didn't understand enough?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Shen took a deep breath and raised the price again: "Five million." ”

Chen Youshan's expression became serious, as if he smelled a strange smell in the air.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Mrs. Shen's face became more and more solemn, and she asked, "How old are you this year?" ”

"Nineteen."

"What education?"

"Just graduated from high school."

"Didn't get into college?"

"Nope."

"So what are you doing now?"

"I just came to the capital and don't have a job yet."

"And what do you do for a living now?"

Chen Youshan didn't answer again, looked at her and asked, "Madam, what do you want to say?" Let's get it straight. ”

Mrs. Shen said: "You don't have any education, you don't have any background, and you can't earn five million in your life." In that case, why don't you take the money and leave? As long as you're not too loser, five million is enough for you to live a life of fine food and clothing. ”

Chen Youshan sighed in his heart, handed over the envelope in his hand again, and said, "Madam, you better take a look at this letter first." ”

Mrs. Shen's face changed drastically, staring at the envelope tightly, but she didn't dare to reach out to take it. It was as if there was some kind of flood beast hidden inside this thin envelope.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walked in briskly from outside, looking a little urgent and a little panicked.

Mrs. Shen greeted her as if she had seen a savior, and whispered something.

Chen Youshan didn't know who this person was, but from Mrs. Shen's attitude, he could guess that this person's status in the Shen family should not be low, so he also stood up politely.

I don't know what Mrs. Shen said to the middle-aged man, but after a few minutes, his face became obviously pale, and even some beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and I don't know if it was due to the urgency of coming all the way.

After a few more minutes, the middle-aged man walked straight up to Chen Youshan and said, "I am the current master of the Shen family, Shen Guangnan. ”

"It turned out to be Shen Xian'......" Chen Youshan was about to say politely, but Shen Guangnan was obviously not in the mood to listen.

"I heard you have that half of the jade pendant?"

Chen Youshan nodded, not displeased by being rudely interrupted, and said, "Yes." ”

"Five million is too little?"

Chen Youshan was slightly stunned, and repeated again: "Mr. Shen, you misunderstood, I didn't come to ask for money. ”

As he spoke, he handed the envelope over again, ready to say something more. But Shen Guangnan's next words made him swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

"No matter what conditions you write here, we will not agree." Shen Guangnan looked at him expressionlessly, and said indifferently: "Thirty years ago, your master saved my father's life. In return, my father gave your master this half of the jade pendant, and said that no matter when, as long as someone comes to the Shen family with this jade pendant, no matter what conditions he proposes, the Shen family will agree, am I right? ”

Looking at the undisguised disdain and indifference between the other party's eyebrows, Chen Youshan frowned slightly, but still nodded: "Yes, that's what the master told me." ”

"At that time, it was my father who was in charge, and that promise might still be valid. But now, it's up to me to call the shots, and we're not going to take that word of mouth. Shen Guangnan continued: "However, for the sake of your master who once saved my father's life, I can give you a reward of 10 million as a thank you, what do you think of this proposal?" ”

Chen Youshan was slightly stunned, and after staring at him for a moment, he slowly retracted the arm holding the envelope, lowered it to his waist, and asked calmly, "Can I meet Mr. Shen first?" ”

If his master had been here, he would have known after seeing his expression that he was angry, very angry.

"Even if you see my father, we won't agree to any of your terms." Shen Guangnan looked at him and said unhurriedly: "The current Shen family is no longer the Shen family of the past, the current Shen family is too energetic and involves too many relationships, and it is impossible to agree to any conditions from you." I suggest you leave with this money, or you may not get even a penny. You know very well that whether or not to give you this money depends entirely on our mood, and if we don't admit it, this half piece of jade pendant is an inconspicuous stone, of no use. ”

Chen Youshan also looked at him and said very seriously: "However, this is a promise. ”

Shen Guangnan sneered and said, "Promise? We only believe in black and white, can you take it out? ”

Chen Youshan fell silent.

"Young man, don't be too greedy. This 10 million is enough to change your fate, it is enough for you to live a life of fine clothes and food, the life-saving grace of 30 years ago, with 10 million to repay, we have done our best, if it is replaced by others, they may treat it as if nothing happened. ”

Chen Youshan suddenly said: "If it is someone else, they may also keep their promises." ”

Shen Guangnan frowned, looked at him coldly, and said, "Listen to what you mean, you don't seem to be willing to accept my proposal?" ”

Chen Youshan said: "I just want to meet Mr. Shen. ”

Shen Guangnan looked at him carefully, and said with a look of disdain: "Do you know what you look like now?" ”

Chen Youshan didn't speak, and looked at him quietly.

"If you don't have this half of the jade pendant in your hand, you don't even have the qualifications to enter here now. Because you're just an ordinary person, anything in this hall is worth more than your life. You are like a beggar now, you want to change your identity as a beggar through the Shen family, and you want to step on the existing resources of the Shen family and become an upper-class person. It's not realistic. Even if we give you the entire Shen family, you won't be able to become a high-class person. Even if a beggar wears a high-end suit, what he can cover is only the appearance, in fact, he is still a beggar in his bones. It won't be long before he's beaten back to the way he was. For it is his life, the life of a beggar. ”

Chen Youshan still didn't speak, but his breathing unconsciously became a little short.

"If you want to get everything from my Shen family through this half jade pendant, if you want to change your life through this half jade pendant, then you are wrong. Now, you either leave with this half of the jade pendant, or leave the jade pendant and leave with ten million. However, if you leave with this jade pendant today, it will be impossible to use him to exchange anything with the Shen family in the future, because we will not admit it again. ”

Shen Guangnan looked at him calmly, but his heart was extremely nervous. This half of the jade pendant was so special, so special that he had to go to great lengths to get his hands on it. Because he knew that if this half of the jade pendant really fell into the hands of the old man, the old man would definitely agree to any of his conditions, even if the other party wanted the entire Shen family, how could he let such a thing happen?

He had now said it so clearly that he had even pretended to be indifferent and had issued an eviction order, and he believed that this young man would definitely choose to take 10 million. No one would be so stupid as to leave with such a half of a worthless jade pendant.

The hall was so quiet that no sound could be heard.

Shen Guangnan and Mrs. Shen looked at Chen Youshan very indifferently, waiting for his decision.

However, things did not go as they expected.

Chen Youshan took a light breath and said calmly, "Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen, I'm sorry. ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked outside, without the slightest hesitation or entanglement.
