Chapter 432 Don't be too beastly
The playboy is very innocent - Chapter 432: Don’t be too animalistic
"Fifty million??"
Shangguan Hong was slightly absent-minded. He really didn't expect that Shen Mo would choose to pay the contract losses without hesitation, and also gave him an extra ten million.
In his plan, no matter how generous Shen Mo is, he will agree first and then go back to get the money. Even if he is a rich man like the Zhang family, Zhang Jinghan will not have the right to use such a large amount of funds at will. And he will use this money at will. It was given too casually, as if 50 million was dispensable to him.
Is fifty million a little? It's not a lot at all. The direct benefit to the Shangguan family from this marriage is only twenty million.
Of course, as long as the marriage is successful, there will be many benefits in the future, which are not comparable to 50 million.
Just looking at Shen Mo's unchanging expression, it seemed to be telling him, let alone fifty million, even adding another zero would be fine.
Shen Mo looked at Shangguan Hong with a smile on his face. Now the situation was reversed. It was Shangguan Hong who looked at him calmly with a surprised expression. However, the fairy was surprised that he became his "quasi-father-in-law".
Fifty million was a large amount of money for Shen Mo in the past. He was so happy when he won more than 100 million when he bought lottery tickets. At that time, he almost never thought that he could have 50 million.
But things are different now. Shen Mo has taken control of the Jiang family, and in the hands of Luo Jiaqian, a business genius, the Jiang family has not only recovered in the shortest time, but has also risen again, although it is far from being comparable to the four major families in the past. , but after all, the original assets were very strong, and now that they have doubled, there is no problem for Shen Mo, the boss, to mobilize hundreds of millions at will.
After practicing Xiaoyao Jue, Shen Mo is now considered to be a cultivator. His pursuits are different now, and he doesn't care so much about money. He will spend 100 million, not to mention 50 million, as long as he can help Lan'er. , he is also willing.
Because Lan'er is his good friend and has helped him many times.
"This is just to make up for the loss of uncle and your family. If uncle can agree to our matter, I will never want to marry Lan'er with just such a small amount of money. In my heart, Lan'er is priceless. "Shen Mo said solemnly.
Since you are talking about money, then I will throw money at you to death. I have promised you so many benefits. Even if you don't change your mind immediately, you have to give up, right?
Fifty million, that's a little... Shangguan Hong found that he had really underestimated the young man in front of him. He didn't look like a young master from a wealthy family at all, but he could be so generous... If he wasn't deliberately pretentious, Then it must have an extraordinary origin!
Shangguan Hong immediately changed his mind. Although the Shangguan family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, in today's society, reputation and academics are bullshit, and money and power are fundamental. Few people in the Shangguan family have thought about this. They want to live a secluded life, and they long for a truly wealthy life, but unfortunately the old man is suppressing them, and no one can do anything about it.
It's just that the more suppressed the government is, the more it expands. It is for this reason that Shangguan Hong, Shangguan Dai and other brothers married with the Zhang family outside Guan Guan, in order to get a good business partner, and for the future of the Shangguan family. Get ready for soaring into the sky.
When the old man is away, it is when the Shangguan family rises.
The Shangguan family has people, money, and foundation. All they need now is a signal.
In all Shangguanhong's plans, the Zhang family is a helper that cannot be given up. They are a giant in medicinal materials and the best helpers for the Shangguan family. Therefore, even if Shen Mo spends a huge sum of 50 million, he cannot let Shangguanhong immediately. Give up the marriage with the Zhang family.
However, he decided not to reject Shen Mo immediately. If Shen Mo was a big fish, he would have to find other ways to win over him.
If Shen Mo belongs to a force that is more powerful than the Zhang family, then if Shen Mo is offended, he is likely to be in trouble.
Pushing the check back calmly, Shangguan Hong's heart was bleeding, but his face calmly said: "My nephew has misunderstood, how can I ask for your money? Take it back quickly, this matter is not only troublesome, but also money. If we really want to break off the engagement, it is not that simple. We need to take a long-term approach."
Shen Mo did not take the check, but said excitedly: "Uncle, did you promise me and Lan'er something?!"
Shangguan Hong smiled bitterly: "This...even if I agree, it won't work. My dear nephew, be patient. Just stay at home for a while these days. Although this place is not as good as the big cities like Yanjing and Changhai, it still has its own charm." ,Ha ha."
Shen Mo naturally agreed and had no intention of leaving until Lan'er's matter was resolved.
The two chatted some more, because Shangguan Hong didn't test Shen Mo too deliberately for the 50 million, for fear that Shen Mo would have some ideas. He insisted on not accepting the 50 million, and Shen Mo gave in many times. , it can only be taken back.
He knew that if Shangguan Hong accepted the 50 million, things would be much easier to handle, but it was a pity that Shangguan Hong was not stupid.
"I will stay at home these days. If it's okay, we uncle and nephew can talk more. Wouldn't we be unwilling to talk nonsense to an old man like me?" Shangguan Hong said with a smile, with a kind expression.
Shen Mo shook his head repeatedly and said how could it be possible? He was deeply inspired by his time with his uncle. His wise words would be remembered by the younger generation.
After a few flattery words, Shen Mo left the study.
Watching his back disappear, Shangguan Hong's expression gradually became colder. After a moment of hesitation, he picked up the phone on the desk and said, "Brother, find out this kid's identity as soon as possible."
…………
"What on earth did my dad say to you?" Shangguan Laner and Shen Mo were walking in the back garden, and she kept asking Shen Mo.
Shen Mo's expression was calm when he came out, neither happy nor worried, which made Shangguan Lan'er very curious. She knew that with her father's temper, Shen Mo would definitely be in trouble, but it seemed that the two had a good chat.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you solve this matter. You don't have to worry about the rest." Shen Mo smiled and did not answer her question.
The back garden of Shangguan's house is where Shangguan Pharmacist rests and walks on weekdays. No one is allowed to come in on weekdays, and only Shangguan Lan'er is favored by the old man, so he can come in without hesitation.
There are people everywhere in Shangguan's house, but only here there are no people watching or eavesdropping.
The two of them were sitting at the stone table in the garden. Shen Mo remembered what he said to the old man here and said to Shangguan Lan'er: "Lan'er, do you still remember the head-down master who harmed you in Changhai?"
"Remember, what happened? Isn't he dead?" Shangguan Lan'er was a little confused and didn't understand why Shen Mo mentioned this.
"He is dead, but I just got the news today." Shen Mo decided to tell her the truth. After all, the Shangguan family's person who wanted to harm Lan'er has not yet been found out, and Shangguan Lan'er herself has to be wary: " The person who wanted to harm you that time was not just the captor. A captor can't trick you so easily and frame you. He has a helper, and the helper is someone close to you."
Shangguan Lan'er was startled, and then he understood: "You mean... there is someone in the family who helps that head-down master."
Shen Mo nodded: "I only discovered this when I was talking to your grandpa, but you don't have to worry, just be careful. I will help you. I think the old man will be able to find that person soon."
Shangguan Laner's expression changed slightly, he lowered his head and became silent.
Although she has always been unpopular in the family, no one really wants to harm her. Now that she learned from Shen Mo that someone actually wanted to kill her, how could she not feel sad?
Those are all my relatives. Even if the relationship is not good, the relatives are related by blood after all. They actually want to kill me?
It's really hard to accept.
Seeing her expression, Shen Mo was speechless for a long time. This kind of thing would be uncomfortable for anyone. Although Su Manying was used by the family as a weight to form an alliance with the Bai family, no one wanted to harm her, and the Su family Not everyone rejects her, there are only a few people who really don't like Manying.
However, compared to Su Manying, Shangguan Laner's situation in the Shangguan family was much worse. In the entire Shangguan family, Shen Mo found that there were only three people who could truly treat her well.
The old man, her mother, and the housekeeper Shangguan are responsible.
Shen Mo couldn't help patting her on the shoulder and comforted: "Don't be sad. You are punishing yourself with other people's mistakes. Be happy. You still have your grandfather and mother who are good to you, and your scold uncle, too." There are many partners I can trust.”
Shangguan Laner nodded when she heard this, but did not speak. No matter how others tried to persuade her, she still had knots in her heart.
In the next few days, neither Shangguan Hong nor Shangguan Dai nor the old man came to see Shen Mo. Shen Mo followed Shangguan Lan'er at all times, protecting her and trying to make her happy.
Shen Mo sits in meditation every night to practice. He is now in the rising stage of cultivation. After a period of accumulation of Xiaoyao Jue, which is what Taoists call foundation building, he will then improve to a certain extent. Now Shen Mo practices every day. Not only that, Shen Mo's consciousness is also becoming more and more powerful. His room is next to Shangguan Lan'er's room. As long as he wants, he can now observe what's going on in Shangguan Lan'er's room at any time. Every move.
Shen Mo used this ability to completely protect Shangguan Laner's safety.
But at nine o'clock every night, Shen Mo would withdraw his consciousness for no other reason than that it was Shangguan Laner's bath time.
Once upon a time, Shen Mo was extremely envious of superpowers such as invisibility and clairvoyance. Every time he passed by the girls' locker room in the gymnasium, he wished he could have these two abilities.
But now Shen Mo's spiritual consciousness can be regarded as comparable to these two superpowers. His spiritual consciousness can detect the smallest details and is more real than what can be seen with the naked eye. Unfortunately, Shen Mo found that every time he decided to use these two abilities, They will suffer from inner suffering and finally give up.
You can't be too animalistic as a human being, Shen Mo always said to himself.
That night, after having dinner, Shen Mo read a book for a while, then took a bath and sat cross-legged on the bed, planning to practice. It happened to be nine o'clock at this time, and Shen Mo investigated the situation at Shangguan Laner's side. , and found that the girl had already started to clean up and prepare to take a bath, so she relaxed and concentrated on practicing.
Although he did not check the situation inside her room, Shen Mo kept paying attention to the situation outside the room. In addition, Shen Mo's eyes and ears had become very clear. If anything happened, he would be sure to stop it in time.
About half an hour later, Shen Mo just entered the cultivation state. However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a muffled sound coming from Shangguan Lan'er's room, as if something fell to the ground.
