Zhong Xiaotian originally thought that Hong Yu would not accept it, and would even get angry on the spot and fall out with the Zhong family.
This was the ending he least wanted to see.
Except that Hong Yu was his savior and he didn't want to be an ungrateful person.
He also values Hong Yu as a talent and wants to maintain a friendly relationship with Hong Yu.
But what he never expected was that Hong Yu directly reached out and took the file bag containing the check and equity contract.
The whole process was very peaceful.
Then, Hong Yu stood up and walked out without saying a word.
This made Zhong Xiaotian almost unable to react.
"Mr. Hong, this table of wine and food is prepared for you. Why don't you eat something before leaving?"
When Hong Yu walked to the entrance of the living room, Zhong Xiaotian quickly came to his senses and quickly tried to persuade him to stay.
When he spoke, he still had a big smile on his face.
He thought that if Hong Yu accepted his compensation, then this matter would be in the past, and Hong Yu would not ask for purple jade from him again in the future.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yu's next words made him stunned on the spot.
"Master Zhong, since I just took over your check and equity contract, even if everything is settled between us, you don't owe me anything, and I won't force you to do anything about Ziyu anymore, so I will naturally give you the food and drinks.
I can't bear it anymore, I just hope that Master Zhong and Young Master Zhong will take good care of themselves in the future, otherwise if they ask me to treat their illnesses next time, I'm afraid they won't be able to do it no matter how much purple jade they give me."
After leaving these words, Hong Yu walked away without looking back.
He saw that Zhong Xiaotian was not telling the truth.
In other words, Zhong Xiaotian did not take his life-saving grace to heart.
In this case, it would seem very cheap for him to lick his face and ask for Ziyu.
Of course, he would not directly use force to force Zhong Xiaotian to hand over the purple jade.
At first, Zhong Xiaotian did not agree to ask him to cure his illness in exchange for purple jade.
Although Zhong Wushuang agreed, Zhong Wushuang was also forced to agree, and he knew this very well.
Secondly, curing diseases and saving people is originally a good deed. If threats are used to force the Zhong family to take out the purple jade, the good deed will also turn into an evil deed.
With this being the case, it is better to take the reward you deserve and then leave in style. From now on, you will be a stranger and owe no one to anyone.
Looking at Hong Yu's disappearing figure, Zhong Xiaotian couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, thinking about what Hong Yu's words just meant.
"Xiaowei, what Mr. Hong said just now, does it mean that our bodies have not fully recovered yet, there are still sequelae, and our lives may be in danger at any time?"
Zhong Xiaotian asked Zhong Wei beside him.
Zhong Wei's face turned a little pale, and he and his father Zhong Xiaotian thought of going together.
"Dad, I'll go find Mr. Hong and ask for clarification."
With that said, he walked towards Hong Yu and chased him.
"Come back to me."
But before he took two steps, he was stopped by Zhong Xiaotian.
Zhong Xiaotian sighed and said: "Mr. Hong has made it very clear just now, it depends on whether we are willing to believe it or not."
"Dad, what if, I mean what if it's true, what should we do?" Zhong Wei looked panicked.
"I can only leave it to fate. It's only my fault that I wasn't persistent enough last night to beg the purple jade from my ancestor, which made Mr. Hong feel cold." Zhong Xiaotian suddenly regretted it.
In fact, as the head of the Zhong family, as long as he writes the receipt for requisitioning the purple jade and stamps it with the seal of the head of the Zhong family, it will be useless even if the ancestor of the Zhong family objects, because this is the ancestral rule.
Of course, this would inevitably put a strain on his relationship with his ancestor.
Last night, he didn't want to get into trouble with his ancestor because of Hong Yu, so he didn't persist to the end.
…
Hong Yu walked out of the small courtyard of the Zhong family's living room and was about to call Liu Qianqian to inform him of leaving the Zhong family.
As a result, by coincidence, at the corner of the corridor, they met Liu Qianqian and Zhong Wushuang who were returning with wine jars.
The two girls were also surprised when they saw Hong Yu.
"Mr. Hong, why did you come out?" Zhong Wushuang asked with a frown, vaguely having a bad feeling.
Hong Yu knew about Ziyu, so he couldn't blame Zhong Wushuang.
This is not something she can decide.
"I have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Hong Yu's tone was quite gentle.
"Qianqian, let's go." Hong Yu looked at Liu Qianqian.
"Oh, okay." Liu Qianqian nodded confusedly, thinking that something was really wrong with Hong Yu.
"Wushuang, let's talk next time."
Liu Qianqian said goodbye to Zhong Wushuang, even though she wanted to chat with Zhong Wushuang some more.
But Hong Yu was leaving, so she decided to accompany him.
"Well, bye." Zhong Wushuang waved his hand, feeling very depressed.
She really wanted to see Hong Yu more and talk to her old classmates more.
After watching Hong Yu and Liu Qianqian walk away, she immediately rushed back to the living room.
The first time she met her father Zhong Xiaotian, she asked, "Dad, Mr. Hong left suddenly. Did you tell him about Ziyu and he left in a rage?"
Zhong Xiaotian nodded: "That's right."
"What do you mean?" Zhong Wushuang broke the casserole and asked, "Did Mr. Hong say anything before he left?"
Zhong Xiaotian didn't want his daughter to worry about his physical condition, so he just said: "Mr. Hong didn't say anything."
"How is this possible?" Zhong Wushuang didn't believe it at all.
At this time Zhong Wei said: "Wushuang, dad didn't lie to you. Mr. Hong didn't say anything. He took the check from dad and the equity contract of the listed company in Jiangzhou and left directly."
"Mr. Hong compromised? No longer wants Ziyu?" Zhong Wushuang was a little unconvinced.
Zhong Wei lied and said: "Everyone would compromise on a check of tens of billions, plus equity in a company with a market value of tens of billions. No matter how precious the purple jade is, it is not worth tens of billions."
Zhong Wushuang thought it made sense.
Although I still felt strange in my heart, I didn't ask any more questions.
…
"Xiaoyu, what's so important for you to leave in such a hurry?"
After walking out of Zhong's house, Liu Qianqian asked.
Hong Yu stopped, raised an eyebrow at Liu Qianqian, and said seriously: "Because I want to invite a girl to have lunch alone."
"Oh," Liu Qianqian felt like her heart was being pinched hard, it hurt, her nose was sore, and she had the urge to cry.
But I forced myself to hold it back.
Her voice choked with sobs: "Who is this girl? Why haven't I heard you say before that you have friends of the opposite sex in Yanjing?"
Hong Yu patted Liu Qianqian's head and said with a smile: "Who else could it be? Of course it's you."
"Let's go. The Jiangnan cuisine made by the Zhong family is not authentic at all. I'm not used to it. I have to rely on you, a know-it-all in Yanjing, to take me to try local delicacies."
Hong Yu said as he walked towards the parking spot.
Liu Qianqian reacted and burst out laughing.
There were tears in my eyes from laughter.
This is tears of joy.
"Xiaoyu, I know a place where every street is full of delicious food. It was my favorite place to go shopping when I was in college. How about we go there?"
"No problem, let's go and get in the car."
Hong Yu was very gentleman and opened the passenger door for Liu Qianqian.
This small detail gave Liu Qianqian the illusion of being cared for. She got into the car, her heart filled with warmth, and she felt like the happiest woman in the world at this moment.
When she was about to bend down to fasten her seat belt, Hong Yu said, "I'll do it."
As he spoke, Hong Yu bent down, put his head deep into the car, and at the same time stretched out his hand to fasten Liu Qianqian's seat belt.
Liu Qianqian looked at Hong Yu's side profile close at hand, his handsome facial features, so handsome, and smelled the scent of Hong Yu's body, her little heart stopped beating and her face turned red.
Suddenly, she took a deep breath, mustered up her courage, stretched her neck forward, and gave Hong Yu a quick kiss on the face.
