Chapter 447: Chapter 447 Beneficiary Chapter 447: Chapter 447 Beneficiary Zhong Niangyao gave a slight smile, then spoke up, “Actually, I’m quite easy to talk to. The incident with Second Aunt this ti left with a huge psychological shadow, so I feel that, apart from shares, I still need sothing to properly soothe my wounded little heart!”
“What exactly do you want?”
Old Sir Li’s sharp gaze landed on Zhong Niangyao, as if trying to see right through her.
“The things I want are not much.” Zhong Niangyao smiled and continued, “The shares given to by Second Uncle and Second Aunt to calm down, I will unceremoniously accept them. Also, I am a girl, and I have little resistance to beautiful things. I heard that Old Sir Li recently acquired a piece of glass species Violet Jade, it must be very beautiful!”
“Zhong Niangyao, you’re really asking for a lot.”
Before Old Sir Li could even speak, Zhong ngxuan jumped out to object, “Do you know how much that Violet Jade is worth? It’s worth over a hundred million; how could you have the cheek to ask for it?”
That Violet Jade, she knew and liked it very much herself. Just as Zhong Niangyao said, it was hard for any girl to resist such beautiful things.
However, she was all too aware of the value of the jade. It was almost like a family heirloom.
She had seen it a few tis before, and each ti she couldn’t help but marvel at the idea of Zhong Niangyao wanting that piece of jade. It seed like a folly!
“Oh!” Zhong Niangyao’s expression was indifferent, showing no emotion, “I have the cheek to ask! But, it’s up to Old Sir Li to give it or not; I don’t mind.”
“I say what I want, and he can make his own decisions. They do not conflict, right?”
“You—” Zhong ngxuan was so angry she could barely speak.
Old Sir Li did not heed Zhong ngxuan. His gaze remained fixed on Zhong Niangyao, “Is it so that if you get that Violet Jade, this matter will be settled?”
“Dad!” Li Chengru was shocked, “Are you really going to give her that Violet Jade?”
No one else knew, but he was aware of how excellent the jade was, and its value would only increase with ti. His father had also put in a lot of effort to win that Violet Jade at auction.
That piece of glass species Violet Jade was considered a top-notch jade. Not only was its water head of high quality, but the whole piece was also the size of a basketball and very regularly shaped. Even uncarved, it appeared to be a fine piece of art.
In essence, the Violet Jade was a treasure ant to be passed down through generations. Indeed, that was his father’s plan. Normally, his father kept it in a safe. Only during his spare ti would he take it out to admire.
His father was extrely fond of that Violet Jade. Now he was actually considering agreeing to Zhong Niangyao’s demands to use this jade as an apology.
“This matter, I will decide,” Old Sir Li said indifferently as he glanced at Li Chengru, “You need not say more.”
Seeing the look from Old Sir Li, Li Chengru, though unwilling, eventually closed his mouth and said no more.
As for Zhong ngxuan’s opinions, both Old Sir Li and Li Chengru simply chose to ignore them. The situation had escalated to this point largely because of Zhong ngxuan. If she hadn’t stirred up trouble, concealed critical information, none of this would be happening.
Old Sir Li turned his head, looking at Zhong Niangyao and continued, “Since you like the Violet Jade, let it be an apology from our Li family to you. But once you accept this apology, can this matter be considered resolved?”
“That’s only natural.” Zhong Niangyao nodded her head, then, as if struck by a thought, her eyes twinkled as she continued, “This matter originally didn’t involve your Li family at all. It has only escalated because you insisted on getting involved. Honestly, I consider myself a rather peace-loving person.”
After all, she never intended to cause any trouble for the Li family.
In fact, if not for Old Sir Li and Li Chengru’s visit today, she wouldn’t even have rembered that such a family relation existed.
Moreover, the attitude of the Li family mbers was indeed infuriating. Their presumptuous manner, as if they had the right to make decisions for the Zhong family, was utterly tactless and ignorant.
Given this, it was only natural that they would have to pay a price.
Losing that exquisite piece of Violet Jade, the Li family would indeed feel the pinch for a long ti.
After receiving Zhong Niangyao’s affirmation, Old Sir Li nodded, “Since Niangyao likes the Violet Jade, it’s only right for , as an elder, not to be petty.”
“Our actions today were rash. As an apology, the Violet Jade will be delivered to your doorstep as soon as possible.”
Old Sir Li was a decisive man. Once a decision was made, he had no regrets.
After agreeing to Zhong Niangyao’s request, he promptly got up to take his leave, taking Li Chengru with him. As for Zhong ngxuan, he didn’t even give her another glance.
Whether it was from a guilty conscience or so other reason, Zhong ngxuan, watching the departure of Old Sir Li and Li Chengru, didn’t follow them, nor did she get up to see them out.
After Old Sir Li left, Old Master Zhong also took Old Madam Zhong back to their room. At this mont, his face no longer carried the gloom it had when Old Sir Li was present; he seed relaxed and refreshed.
Zhong Minghao cast a mocking glance at Zhong ngxuan before also standing up to leave.
As for Zhong Jinghao, he gave Zhong ngxuan a deep look, greeted Zhong Niangyao, and then left to return to the office.
What was a crowded living room had instantly beco occupied by only Zhong ngxuan and Zhong Niangyao.
Zhong ngxuan looked at Zhong Niangyao sitting there with a relaxed expression on her face, and her resentnt surged. To prevent her mood from worsening, she stood up and glared fiercely at Zhong Niangyao. Then, she stood up, intending to return to her room.
But just as she had stood up, Zhong Niangyao’s voice chid in.
“Zhong ngxuan, when it cos down to it, I really should thank you! If not for you, I wouldn’t have acquired such an exquisite piece of Violet Jade today. To be honest, you might just be my lucky star! Regardless of why or who instigated these events. The fact now is, I am the beneficiary.”
