Chapter 287: Chapter 209: Double Act_2

But with someone like Sui Yi setting such a precedent, it doesn’t seem too exaggerated anymore.

However, the man didn’t give it a second thought, his gaze shifted and he became very impatient, snarling, "I’m not in the mood to wait, I need to get the money today, it’s only right to repay debts. I’m not afraid of going to jail! Besides! Who says without this store you two women would have no way to pay back? Hmph, aren’t you filial? With your good looks, if you sell yourself, it won’t take more than two or three years to pay it all off~~ What a waste of money to read books!"

Bang!

Are these even human words!

The girl’s face turned red with anger, her eyes filling with shimmering light...

What should she do?

Truthfully, she’d considered this path before, but she hadn’t thought that by considering such a step, she would feel as if she were betraying her deceased father.

Her spirits were utterly crushed.

It seemed like a desperate situation!

The onlooking women were all enraged...

But those few men, carrying sticks in their hands, approached menacingly...

The girl bit her lip, her lips turning white...

Sister-in-law Wang was terrified, holding tightly to her daughter’s hand, "Sell, I’ll sell, I’ll sell... We don’t want the storefront anymore, I’ll sell, I’ll sell! I’ll sell it today..."

As she spoke, she wiped her eyes with the back of her rough hand, which glistened with tears...

Such a sin!

The women murmured among themselves, while those men looked smug!

Sui Yi glanced over, and the well-dressed man showed a smile on his face...

He stepped forward, "I was saying it’s lucky that I came by today, I can help Sister-in-law Wang resolve this big problem. Let’s sign the contract today, and the store will be transferred to our company from now on..."

His tone wasn’t sharp, but it was filled with pride, as if he were enjoying a long-desired but unattainable dessert.

Moreover, as he spoke, his gaze swept over the girl with the look that men have when they see a beautiful woman.

Sister-in-law Wang was very nervous, trying to shield her daughter behind her. The girl, however, reached out directly, taking the contract he offered. She looked at it only once, took a deep breath, and said in disbelief, "Two hundred thousand?! It was four hundred thousand last time!"

Slashed in half just like that!

And to buy such a storefront for only two hundred thousand?

That’s practically the price of pork!

The crowd grew noisy, this price was indeed... only a fool would sell! But the Qi Family women were in a unique situation...

"Hey, that’s the market rate these days, otherwise you ask around to see who else will buy your shop. Two hundred thousand is not a small amount!"

"You are clearly extorting us!" Sister-in-law Wang was livid with anger.

However, those men immediately pressed forward, "Damn it, even for two hundred thousand, it has to be sold, I need the money urgently!"

"...You’re colluding," the girl suddenly interjected, clutching the contract tightly and staring down the thugs and the man in the suit.

The man in the suit narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Don’t talk nonsense... Our Tianhua Company always treats people fairly~"

Let’s be honest, the store had to be sold today whether they liked it or not!

"It’s your own fault for owing money...I’m not very patient. If it doesn’t sell today... it would be a pity to see such a beautiful girl being taken away and sold tomorrow..."

His sinister voice sounded like an evil ghost’s. Sister-in-law Wang trembled, grabbed the contract in a flash... To sell, or not to sell?

Where could she find a buyer for the store in such a short time?

Everyone knew they were desperate for money; surely, they would all deliberately underbid. The people from Tianhua Company were notoriously ruthless, and if they really did something to her daughter...

Sister-in-law Wang clenched her teeth!

To sell!

"I..." She was about to speak out...

A slender and beautiful hand, almost like an artifact, stretched out from the side, easily snatching the contract from her grasp. Slender and beautiful eyes barely glanced at the black text on white paper.

With a flick of her long fingertips, the contract landed on the chest of the man in the suit. She looked up at him.

"Go back and tell Huah Jue, I’ve bought this store, the price is seven hundred thousand. If he can offer a higher price, I’m ready to compete at any time," she said.

With those words, the situation changed instantly!

The man in the suit stood there, stunned, unable to react for a moment.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t annoyed, but Sui Yi had directly mentioned the name of their chairman, clearly not someone who was causing trouble without cause!

And Sui Yi’s appearance, her demeanor, the aura that came with a single glance, were enough to crush any pretentious bullies.

Seven hundred thousand! It seemed to her like only seven dollars!

Everyone was astonished!

In that moment, he revealed his true colors, turning into that groveling ant who would fawn over and connive to understand his boss’s intentions.

Though he was shocked, those thugs failed to see the trickery. Seeing how young Sui Yi was, looking almost like a student, their first thought was that she was causing trouble. They were just about to get what they wanted and were now extremely annoyed. One of them cursed in anger, "Damn! Where did this little bitch come from, spouting such nonsense...I..."

He was cursing when he began to swing his stick threateningly!

It was meant to intimidate, but suddenly! Sui Yi reached out as if she was going to be hit by the stick!

Crack! The stick was flicked away by her fingertips, wrenched from the man’s grasp. She grabbed the handle, stepped forward, and with a few swift moves, smack, smack, smack!

One by one, the sticks were knocked away!

The swift and sharp afterimages struck everyone like a whip, the sound not loud, the force not heavy, but each blow was precisely aimed at pressure points...

"Ah!"

"Ah!!"

Screams rose and fell as the tall men writhed in pain on the ground!

At that moment, the sticks flew into the air, and Sui Yi spun the stick in her hand, creating a gust of wind... Swish!

With a sidestep, she moved past them...

"Your mouth is too filthy..."

The head of the stick jabbed into the belly of the lead thug...

Just a light nudge...

Thump!!!

The man’s belly violently convulsed, and his mouth opened wide, expelling a mouthful of filth...

Three seconds later, the thugs all lay on the ground, wailing pitifully. (To be continued.
