Hong Yu coughed twice, looked at Zhong Xiaotian and Zhong Wei, and said awkwardly:
"Uncle, brother Zhong Wei, you may have misunderstood. I have no such intention towards Miss Zhong."
Hearing this, Zhong Xiaotian and Zhong Wei looked slightly startled, with disappointment on their faces.
They saw Hong Yu's ability.
The potential is huge.
Those who will 100% become extraordinary masters in the future are far from being comparable to those of the second generation in Yanjing.
If Wushuang can marry Hong Yu, she will definitely find a treasure.
Moreover, if this marriage happens, it will be a great help to the Zhong family.
Nowadays, among the eight major wealthy families, each family basically only has three extraordinary masters.
If Hong Yu can become the son-in-law of the Zhong family, it will be equivalent to having four extraordinary masters in the Zhong family.
It has an absolutely suppressive effect on other wealthy families.
Above the court, the status of the Zhong family will also rise accordingly.
Zhong Wushuang was hiding at the door of the tea room when she heard Hong Yu say that he was not interested in him. For some reason, his heart tugged hard.
It felt like I had lost something, I felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and my nose was sore.
"Mr. Hong, I'm really sorry. I thought wrongly."
Zhong Xiaotian came back to his senses, forced an embarrassed smile on his face, and asked: "Since Mr. Hong is not interested in my daughter, it is money. Tell me, how much do you want?"
Hong Yu shook his head: "Uncle, I don't want any money either."
This confused Zhong Xiaotian, and he asked in astonishment: "I wonder what your intentions are, Mr. Hong? You might as well speak frankly."
At the moment, Hong Yu didn't show off, pretending to put his hand in his pocket, but he was actually taking something out of the storage ring.
He took out the purple jade bracelet that Zhong Wushuang gave him before and said, "Uncle, this bracelet was given to me by Miss Zhong before. I want one kilogram of the raw material for this bracelet. Is it possible?"
The moment Zhong Xiaotian saw the purple jade bracelet, his expression changed a little.
Then he heard Hong Yu say that he wanted one kilogram of purple jade raw material, and said without thinking:
"Mr. Hong, I'm really sorry. I got this purple jade bracelet by chance. On the day of my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, I gave it to her as a gift. It's just this one, nothing else."
"Well, let me change you to other jade raw materials. How about top-quality Hetian jade? Don't say one kilogram, just ten kilograms. I'll get it for you too."
Hong Yu saw at a glance that Zhong Xiaotian was lying, and looked slightly unhappy.
I saved the lives of your family of three, but I just want one kilogram of purple jade, and yet you are playing tricks on me?
"I don't want any Hetian jade, I want this purple jade."
Hong Yu looked directly at Zhong Xiaotian and said in a deep voice: "Besides, I believe you have it, but you just don't want to take it out."
Zhong Xiaotian was stunned, staring at Hong Yu, thinking, how could he be so sure that I still have this purple jade?
At this time, Zhong Wushuang, who had adjusted his mood, came out with tea.
She said: "Dad, if you really still have this kind of purple jade, just give one kilogram to Mr. Hong. Without Mr. Hong's help, the lives of our family of three would have been lost."
"Besides, I promised Mr. Hong before that as long as he rescues you and your eldest brother, I will give him one kilogram of purple jade raw materials in return. You don't want your daughter to break her promise."
Zhong Wei also interrupted at this time: "Dad, although purple jade is precious, it is nothing compared to the lives of our family of three."
"Hey, that's all."
Zhong Xiaotian sighed, and then looked at Hong Yu apologetically.
"Mr. Hong, I'm sorry, I lied to you just now. My Zhong family does have a lot of this kind of purple jade, but I won't hide it from you. These purple jade are stored in my Zhong family's old house. I can't make the decision.
I need to ask my ancestor of the Zhong family for instructions before I can give you a satisfactory answer."
"But don't worry, Mr. Hong, I will try my best to help you fight for it." Zhong Xiaotian emphasized at the end.
Hong Yu didn't expect that the Zhong family valued Ziyu so much that even Zhong Xiaotian, the head of the family, couldn't make a decision.
Does the ancestor of the Zhong family also know how precious this purple jade is?
Hong Yu frowned slightly, but he didn't ask in detail. He just asked: "How long will it take to give me an answer?"
Zhong Xiaotian said: "My old home of the Zhong family is not in Yanjing. It is in Zhongzhen, three hundred kilometers away from Yanjing. I need to go there in person and report the situation to my ancestor of the Zhong family. It can take as short as one day or as long as three days."
, I should be able to give you a reply, sir.”
"Okay, then I'll wait for three more days in Yanjing." Hong Yu said, "When the time comes, I hope Uncle Zhong won't disappoint me."
"Farewell."
After saying that, Hong Yu turned around and left the Zhong family.
Zhong Xiao, God, couldn't he see that Hong Yu had a big opinion against him and felt helpless inside.
But there was nothing he could do.
Purple jade is the capital of communication between the Zhong family and the hidden world. How can it be given away easily?
He had no shame in trying to keep Hong Yu, so he said to Zhong Wushuang, "Wushuang, please send Mr. Hong off."
Zhong Wushuang was about to say "Okay", but Hong Yu waved his hand and said without looking back: "No need."
Then, in a few steps, the person disappeared into the courtyard.
Zhong Wushuang looked in the direction of Hong Yu's back and suddenly wanted to cry. She turned to look at her father Zhong Xiaotian and said reproachfully:
"Dad, since our Zhong family has purple jade, why didn't you directly agree to give it to Mr. Hong? You also said that you wanted to ask our ancestor of the Zhong family for instructions. Didn't you mean to make Mr. Hong angry? In order to save you and your eldest brother, Mr. Hong,
You don’t know how much danger you have taken.”
Seeing his daughter's anxious look, Zhong Xiaotian said with a teasing smile: "Wushuang, you care so much about Mr. Hong, do you like him?"
Zhong Wushuang was ashamed and angry, and stamped his feet angrily: "Dad, I am telling you something serious. Can you be more serious? If outsiders knew that our Zhong family treated our savior like this, I wonder what they would think of our Zhong family."
Zhong Xiaotian stopped joking and sighed: "Wushuang, there are some things you don't understand. Mr. Hong has been very kind to our family of three. I don't deny it, but Ziyu is really not my decision."
"However, I will not treat Mr. Hong badly."
"Let's do this. Tomorrow morning, you go to Mr. Hong and send him a check worth tens of billions. I, Zhong Xiaotian, will thank him for his life-saving grace."
"Okay, we can only do this for now." Zhong Wushuang said helplessly.
...
Buddha Mansion.
Liu Qianqian sat on the stone pier at the entrance of the courtyard, looking ahead, not daring to blink for fear of missing something.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in her sight.
She stood up excitedly, with a long-lost smile on her face, and ran quickly in the direction of the figure.
The hem of the skirt flutters in the wind, giving it a unique beauty.
When Hong Yu left Zhong's house, he did not take a taxi, but walked all the way back.
Even though it looked like walking, it was very fast, faster than the electric donkeys on the sidewalk, and it caused quite a stir on the road.
As soon as he came back, he saw Liu Qianqian running towards him. He felt a little moved and reminded him with a smile: "Qianxi, please slow down, be careful not to fall."
After Liu Qianqian heard Hong Yu's words, she also slowed down and watched Hong Yu giggle.
When she walked to Hong Yu, she really wanted to hug him, but in the end she restrained her emotions and said at a loss: "Xiaoyu, you are back. Uncle Zhong and Weiwei, are they awake?"
