I saw four men in black standing in the courtyard, and the one who fought with me and Brother Scumbag was also among them.

On the long wooden chair, sat a noble lady with heavy makeup, a string of brilliant gems around her neck, and a white pearl hanging from her ear, which radiated a cold luster in the sunlight.

She was wearing a decent black dress, a purple ribbon tied around her waist, and a pair of pink high heels, and her whole person set off an unapproachable aristocratic temperament.

On the long wooden table, there are all kinds of high-end gifts, tobacco and alcohol alone fill half of the table, as well as all kinds of precious tea, tonics, nutritional products, etc.

When the lady saw the three of us walking into the courtyard, she slowly stood up, a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and said lightly, "Wang Tao, don't come unharmed." ”

"What are you doing here?"

My face was gloomy and my voice was cold.

"My daughter has crossed the ocean to return to China, why should I not come and see it."

She speaks in a weird way, which gives people goosebumps when she listens.

She walked over to Xue Xinyan and looked at her dotingly.

"Xinyan, go home with your mother, look at you, you are so ignorant, and you don't say a word to your mother when you come back, your brother Du is in a hurry in the United States."

She took Xue Xinyan's hand, with reproach in her voice, but there was no lack of tenderness.

"I'm not going back with you."

Xue Xinyan looked at the noble lady with disgust, and resolutely rejected the noble lady.

"Daughter, you sneaked back from the United States, Mom doesn't blame you, but when you come back, you will come directly to this kid, Mom doesn't agree."

"I didn't ask for your consent, what you did was too despicable, not only sent Du Chenyu to the United States to spy on me, but also sent someone to investigate Wang Tao, you are a cold-blooded animal, you don't deserve to have family affection."

Xue Xinyan's cheeks flushed, and her black eyes stared coldly at the noble lady.

"Xinyan, you are almost thirty years old, why are you still so ignorant, Mom is doing this for your own good, you will definitely be grateful for everything I have done for you now in the future."

The noblewoman tried to defend herself.

I pulled Xue Xinyan directly behind me, and a man in black wanted to step forward to stop me, but the lady raised a hand and signaled the man in black to retreat, much like a high-ranking concubine.

I watched her pose, and a look of disgust added to my face.

"Let me tell you, no matter how many people you bring here, I'm not afraid of you, now it's a society ruled by law, I don't believe you dare to beat me to death."

My tone was cold, my face was gloomy, and I looked at her with righteousness and awe.

"What are you doing with all that nonsense with her, call the police directly, let the police clean her up, suspected of trespassing on people's houses, and bring several thugs over, isn't this a crime?"

Brother Scumbag looked at the four thugs behind the noble lady and gritted his teeth, especially after seeing the man in black who beat him in the afternoon, he was even more angry.

"Hahahaha, what are you excited about, when did I trespass into the house?"

The lady put on a look of grievance.

"What are you doing in my yard with four or five bodyguards, isn't this breaking into a private house?"

I didn't flinch at all, I took out my mobile phone directly, found Team Liu's mobile phone number, and was about to dial it.

"Hey, where is such a big anger, I want to talk to you about it."

She looked sincere and pressed her hand lightly on my phone, and I couldn't tell her for who she really was.

"How?"

My face was full of gloom, and I clenched Xue Xinyan's hand behind me.

The noble lady turned gracefully and looked around the huge courtyard, she stared at the Tianzhu Gui in the corner of the wall and was distracted, the tree grew more and more straight and verdant, the straight trunk was as strong as a steel pipe, and the dense leaves decorated the crown, from a distance, like a big mushroom, the top was round, very ornamental.

The roses under the tree withered at some point, and the yellow leaves were dried by the sun to the last trace of water, and hung weakly on the branches, blowing a breeze, and the leaves struggled a few times, and fell to the ground, completely ending its mission.

The lady paused, turned around, and whispered, "Say as much as you want." ”

"I told you a long time ago that I won't ask you for a penny, and you don't think of me as a money-loving person."

I'm a little annoyed.

"Uh, what do you want, my daughter?"

The lady stared at me with cold eyes and a look of contempt.

"That's right, I just want to be with Xue Xinyan, don't talk about you, even if the king of heaven and Lao Tzu comes, I don't want to break up the two of us."

I roared with rage, and I was very emotional.

The lady giggled as if she had seen a very funny farce, and I was the clown.

Seeing this, the scumbag brother walked over and said sharply: "What's so funny, are rich people as insane as you?" Young people fall in love, what are you stirring up in the middle, and you are also worthy of being Xinyan's mother? ”

When the man in black saw that the scumbag brother was disrespectful, he stepped forward to stand up for the noble lady.

"Stand down."

The lady frowned and snorted.

I didn't have the heart to continue to spend time with her, so I picked up my phone, found Team Liu's phone number again, and prepared to call.

As soon as she put the phone to her ear, the lady said with a calm face, "I agree with you together." ”

After saying that, she looked at me viciously, like a long-hungry lioness who would swallow me at any moment.

I slowly put down my phone and looked at the lady with an incredulous expression, thinking to myself, what tricks she was going to play, how could she change her mind in just a few minutes.

"You, you mean, do you mean that you agree to our relationship?"

I was so shocked by the lady's words that I stuttered for a moment.

"You keep saying don't eat what you want, I can't help you, but if my daughter marries you, at least she has to have a house, this is the most basic condition, do you want Xinyan to live with you in that dirty basement?"

She spoke slowly, but her attitude was still calm like a puddle of autumn water, without the slightest wave.

"I'm not going to let that Xinyan live in the basement, it's just that I need to be given a little time."

I muttered, feeling a little lost, but more of an inferiority complex.

After hearing this, the lady raised her red lips proudly, and asked again: "You are a man, and you have a lot of time to waste before the age of forty, but Xinyan is a girl, and she doesn't have much time to wait for you to save money to buy a house, please recognize the reality, don't live in false imagination, our previous agreement is still valid, as long as you can do something that I am satisfied with, or make some achievements, I will personally send Xinyan to you." ”

What she said was reasonable, but every sentence pierced my heart, my mind was a little confused, and I held Xue Xinyan's hand tightly, I was really afraid that she would evaporate and disappear in the next second.

"Okay, I promise you, I will do something that will satisfy you and be proud, but before that, you can't hinder me from dating Xinyan, let alone send someone to investigate me and follow me."

I said unrelentingly.

After hearing this, the lady turned around and walked to the wooden bench and sat down, tapping her fingers on the tabletop, her expression complicated, and her calculating brain was running at high speed.

After a while, the man in black handed her a wet wipe, she wiped her fingers, looked at me and said, "I'll give you two years, if two years later, you are still the same as you are now, mediocre and inactive, then don't blame me for being unkind." ”

After she finished speaking, she threw the wet wipes on the table, slowly stood up, walked in front of her, and whispered: "In the past two years, you can meet Xinyan, but you can't do anything out of the ordinary, let alone let her get pregnant before marriage, which will ruin my daughter's reputation, if you let Xinyan suffer from the fetus, I won't let you have a good time, do you hear?" ”

She blushed, swept away the light and breezy posture just now, and stared at me with two burning eyes.

"What do you say, you don't have to worry about my affairs with Wang Tao, why do you always embarrass him?"

Xue Xinyan stood up and tried her best to defend my dignity.

After hearing this, the lady said seriously: "Xinyan, mom is not embarrassed for him, if you want to survive in this rapidly changing society, you must bear a certain amount of pressure in order to succeed, mom has done this is already benevolent and righteous, I just want him to see this reality as soon as possible, natural selection, survival of the fittest, if he just wants to live without doing anything, then it is better to go back to his hometown as soon as possible, this place is not suitable for him, let alone those lazy and greedy guys." ”

She pursed her lips, glanced at me again and said: "I'll give you 200,000 start-up funds, although it's a little less, but everything is too small, everything must be targeted, if you are capable and talented, there will naturally be a way to make money make money, don't say I'm not close to people, not to mention that I haven't given you a chance." ”

She dusted off the hem of her black skirt and tucked a stray lock of bangs behind her ear.

"I don't want your money."

I lowered my head, and I didn't have any confidence in saying this.

Brother Scumbag poked me behind me, frowned and whispered, "If you give it to you, you will take it, what else is it to pretend to be high in this case?" ”

I didn't say anything more, and my sensitive and inferior heart seemed to tell me: don't ask for her money.

"Hahahaha, it's quite backbone, don't have any ideas, I didn't give you this money for nothing, it is a test for you and my daughter before the official relationship, and it is also a bargaining chip, if you lose all your money in two years, and you are in debt, it means that your ability is not enough, and you don't have the mind and courage to do business, if this money can bring you rich returns and profits after two years, I will naturally be impressed by you."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and a man in black walked over quickly, took out a bank card in his jacket pocket, held it in both hands, and handed it over.

The lady held the bank card between her fingers and shook it in front of me.

"The password is Xinyan's birthday."

Brother Scumbag was so anxious that he saw that I didn't answer the bank card for a long time, so he stepped forward and took the bank card and stuffed it into my jacket pocket.

"This money, this money I will pay you back."

I muttered, very quietly, like a mosquito flying by.

"Hmph, I'm waiting for that day, Xinyan, come home with me, you come to see him in a few days, he's going to be busy from tomorrow."

After speaking, he took Xue Xinyan's hand and walked out of the compound, and the four black-clothed men followed them out.

I froze in place, my heart was unusually sour, my expression was sad and desolate, and I suddenly thought of the term money, what it was, whether it was equivalent exchange currency, or the devil who destroyed people's hearts.

At this time, my mobile phone rang, and it was another unfamiliar number, and I clicked the answer button without thinking about it.

"Hey, Wang Tao, I'm your Uncle Dawei."

He choked up and his voice trembled.

Thinking that it was Uncle Dawei's call, I was extremely frightened, could it be...
