Chapter 214: 214 I am telling the truth...... (Thanks for the reward! Seeking monthly tickets!)

If he were to slam the table now and angrily declare, "My fate is mine, not dictated by heaven," or "Don’t underestimate the poor just because they’re young," it would certainly be apt for the moment.

But since he couldn’t find a camera, Jiang Chen decided to let it go.

He didn’t immediately take a stance, instead, he lifted his glass and took a sip.

Fate is sometimes a real bitch.

When you’re poor and destitute, earning a single penny is incredibly hard. But when you’re not that strapped for cash, money seems to fall from the sky, landing before you.

Staring at the million close at hand, Jiang Chen held the glass, feeling somewhat emotional.

In comparison to the Shi Family’s wealth, a million seems rather paltry, but for an average college student, this amount of money could possibly change his life.

No wonder they could build such a successful business.

They’ve got the cost calculations incredibly precise.

They would never spend more than necessary.

Meng Meiling didn’t rush him, slowly sipping her coffee that had just won an international award, seemingly confident in her strategy.

Indeed.

The disparity in status was too great. Compared to the deeply-rooted Golden Sea Corporation, a so-called prestigious university student is like an ant to a tree, without any capital to resist.

Maybe it was thirst, but after taking a sip of water, Jiang Chen put the glass down, only to pick it back up again soon after.

"Not enough?"

Meng Meiling couldn’t help but finally ask.

It was, after all, a civilized society.

If money could solve a problem, then of course it should be the first solution to try.

But if the other party’s greed knew no bounds, then that would be a different story.

She wasn’t a street hawker. She didn’t entertain haggling.

A million was her offer, and at the same time, her bottom line.

If this young man was insatiable, she definitely wasn’t going to waste any more time.

At that moment, Jiang Chen had finished his glass of water, looking at the woman across from him who resembled Shi Qianxi’s sister. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something.

But for some reason, he seemed to guess her reserve price and didn’t step into the minefield, putting the glass down while at the same time picking up the bank card.

"Deal."

"..."

Meng Meiling was involuntarily taken aback.

Although she was prepared to leave if he tried to raise the price, she didn’t expect him to agree so readily.

Even so.

The matriarch of Golden Sea Corporation couldn’t help but feel a rage that shouldn’t have existed.

Her daughter.

Worth only a million?

Sometimes.

Emotions are just that unpredictable.

"Very well."

She nodded, not making any threatening remarks.

In her position, there was no need.

As long as the young man wasn’t foolish, he would surely understand the consequences of trifling with her.

Jiang Chen was somewhat puzzled; he had agreed, so why did the aunt’s demeanor seem to grow colder?

Seeing that she intended to leave, he hurriedly called out, "Auntie, if Miss Shi comes looking for me, I really can’t control it."

"You only need to take care of yourself."

With those words left behind, Meng Meiling walked down the stairs, her figure soon disappearing on the second floor.

Jiang Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at the bank card in his hand, feeling a mix of humor and dismay.

No wonder people these days like to befriend the wealthy.

It’s like pie falling from the sky.

Had he not been too embarrassed, he would have been tempted to ask for more just now.

Exhaling a breath, he stood up, ready to leave, but as he reached the bottom of the stairs, he was told he hadn’t settled the bill.

Feeling the peculiar stares from the other patrons, Jiang Chen was incredibly embarrassed.

Not telling him Qian Qian’s birthday was one thing.

But to not even cover the bill?

Is this how Golden Sea Corporation’s market value came to be?

————

Shi Family Estate.

Having been cooped up at home all day, Shi Qianxi seemed to want to go out for some fresh air, but as soon as she reached the door, she was stopped by the bodyguards.

"Miss, the boss has ordered that you cannot go out," one of the bodyguards said.

Shi Qianxi ignored them, her voice rising in anger, "Get out of my way!"

The two bodyguards didn’t move, as if they were statues.

Shi Qianxi tried to push past them, but her strength was no match for theirs, and she nearly fell over in the attempt.

"Do you believe I’ll have you fired?!"

The frustrated Shi Family’s young miss kicked one of the bodyguards a few times, but his thighs were like iron bars, not reacting at all.

Shi Qianxi realized that her words carried no weight and that she couldn’t overpower them, so she could only swallow her pride and walk back into the house, pulling out her phone to call Jiang Chen.

She wanted Jiang Chen to come pick her up.

She couldn’t stand to stay in this house for another second.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

The phone rang a few times, then was hung up.

She kept calling.

And it was hung up again.

"Jiang Chen, you white-eyed wolf, bastard!"

The relentless Shi Family’s young miss continued to call, but to her shock, she found that she had been blocked by the other party!

"Bang!"

It was like lighting a fuse; her suppressed emotions exploded all at once, and in a fit of rage, she smashed her phone to pieces.

Watching the screen shatter and pieces fly everywhere, the maids were frozen in place, not daring to step forward.

"What’s the matter? Why such a temper?"

A rich, deep voice sounded.

Shi Zhenhua walked in, giving the maids a look.

The maids immediately walked away.

"Whimper..."

With her back to her father, the Shi Family’s young miss suddenly collapsed to the ground, sobbing and covering her face as if she had broken down.

Her cries were pitiful.

It could be said that they were heart-wrenching for the listener and brought tears to the eyes of the observer.

Shi Zhenhua was amused and exasperated.

He knew all too well how capricious and whimsical his cherished daughter was, and there was no doubt in his mind that she was putting on an act.

"I tell you to stay at home nicely, and you throw such a tantrum? If you don’t change your ways, which family would dare to take you in the future?"

Shi Zhenhua approached her.

"Stand up."

"Whimper..."

The young miss of the Shi Family cried even harder.

Shi Zhenhua wanted to exert his paternal authority, but seeing his daughter bowing her head and weeping bitterly, even though he knew it was highly likely an act, his heart still softened.

He sighed, and the tycoon that commanded the East Sea, forgetting his stature, squatted down and indulgently stroked his daughter’s hair,

"Talk about what’s bothering you, why cry? The daughter of Shi Zhenhua is not so weak."

Shi Qianxi lifted her head, her pretty tear-stained face looking utterly distressing.

"Whimper... Dad, go and bring Jiang Chen back to me. He hit me, kidnapped me, and even tore off my clothes... Whimper..."

The tears of the young Miss Shi flowed uncontrollably, as if a dam had broken, and it truly seemed she was heartbroken.

Assault?

Kidnapping?

Stripping clothes?

Shi Zhenhua was stunned, then helpless.

This girl would really dare to spin any lie to achieve her goals.

"Qian Qian, you are the one at fault here. Wasn’t it you who took the keys to unlock their door? Do you realize that if this gets out, our entire family will become the laughingstock of outsiders? Stop this nonsense."

"But what I said is true... he kidnapped me, he hit me..."

The young Miss Shi cried inconsolably, her sobs growing louder.

"Whimper..."
