Chapter 153: Chapter 153 Genuine Goods at Fair Prices

In those years, the Sheng Family’s eldest son was sent abroad by his father at an early age.

At just eighteen, he got involved with his current wife. The two had children out of wedlock, and Sheng Zhang and Sheng Qiao were born overseas.

Therefore, even though Sheng Tang was considered born early, he was still younger than Sheng Zhang and Sheng Qiao.

Sheng Zhang figured the bag must have been empty.

There was no way their family could come up with half a million.

The car they drove was only worth about ten thousand; even Sheng Tang’s tuition was paid by their grandfather’s company.

Bringing a bag like that was meant to bluff. Grandfather wouldn’t accept the money for the sake of his pride, they’d then take the bag back, and no one would know what was inside.

"Those deadbeat teachers, probably broke as hell."

Having been hit the day before, Sheng Zhang was extremely resentful and wanted to personally expose the conspiracy.

He stepped forward, not waiting for his grandfather to speak, and picked up the bag: "Let me count it!"

Secretary Cai tried to stop him, but Sheng Zhang had already opened the bag.

Stacks of fresh red banknotes met his eyes, making Sheng Zhang hesitate.

Real money?

Cash?

Others also glanced and revealed equally astonished expressions.

How could a penniless teacher come up with half a million overnight? Fifty thousand wasn’t a small amount. His impoverished colleagues wouldn’t be able to lend him that much either, would they?

Besides, poor people are even more reluctant to lend money.

"How’s that possible?" Sheng Zhang voiced everyone’s inner thoughts.

Could it be money on the top and paper at the bottom?

Could there be counterfeit bills in each stack?

The old man watched, suddenly understanding what his disappointing sons and grandsons were thinking. He didn’t stop them and let them continue to check.

Sheng Tang kept a smile: "You don’t believe it? Then bring a money detector to check."

Sheng Zhang and the others were keen to check.

Trying to play tricks? No way.

But with the old man present, they didn’t dare to be too blatant.

The second wife was unwilling: "Verifying shouldn’t be a problem, right? It proves Professor Sheng’s honesty."

"Go ahead, it’s fine." Sheng Tang smiled.

The old man coldly watched and then suddenly ordered: "Secretary Cai, bring a money detector."

He was angry.

The atmosphere in the Sheng Family’s mansion became tense; however, they thought that exposing Sheng Sidong’s scheme so he wouldn’t visit again in the future was a good thing.

This was a good opportunity.

The money must have some fake bills! If they didn’t find any flaws today, the old man would be even more biased towards them.

"Let’s be cautious before we act," the second wife said, "Verifying the money isn’t too much. Sister-in-law Qian, bring the detector."

Sister-in-law Qian complied.

The money detector was indeed brought out.

The spacious living room of the Sheng mansion filled with the sound of the money being checked.

Sheng Zhang verified each stack himself, while Sheng Tang bound and neatly arranged them.

The closer it got to the end, the worse Sheng Zhang’s expression became.

There were no fakes.

Half a million in cash, all real money, laid out on the Sheng family’s coffee table.

The old man looked at the number on the detector and scanned his sons and grandsons: "Does anyone else still not believe? Anyone not trust the detector and want to check for themselves?"

Silence.

The detector belonged to the family, and the numbers were accurate.

In the presence of the old man, having done something so embarrassing yet failing to catch Sheng Sidong’s flaws made them feel particularly humiliated.

"It’s been many years since it was this lively in my living room. A family, counting money together. I’m not dead yet. Should I also take out my money and let you count it?" the old man asked.

No one dared to speak.

"Speak up!" the old man roared.

The second master and his wife took a few steps back quietly.

The usually silent first wife stepped forward and put the cash back in the bag.

She softly said to the old man, "Professor Sheng has shown his sincerity, which is good, right, Dad? As for the money, we definitely can’t accept it."
