Chapter 173 Hard-earned Wealth
Chapter 173 Hard-earned Wealth
We had lunch at the Shen family's house.
I went to Ming's house again at 2 p.m.
Song Li felt like a spinning top, never needing a break.
In the afternoon, Song Li arrived at the Ming family's house.
Uncle Hu saw Song Li's smiling face: "Comrade Song is here."
"Hmm, what is Ming doing?"
"Young Master is waiting for you in the tea room."
"it is good."
This is my second time here, and I feel a bit more familiar with it now.
This Ming Xiangyang wasn't in the main hall, but in a rather elegant tea room next to it.
The view is very open.
It's perfect for enjoying the birdsong and fragrant flowers in the yard.
Ming Xiangyang watched as Song Li entered.
"It must be cold outside! Come in and have a cup of tea to warm your stomach."
Song Li put down her bag: "Okay."
Looking at the flower tea in the cup: "Hmm, not bad. You like flower tea too."
"Um."
A little while later, Uncle Hu thoughtfully brought over a basin of water.
"It's cold outside, Song, soak your hands first."
Song Li nodded: "Okay, thank you, Uncle Hu, you're so thoughtful."
Uncle Hu gave a polite smile.
Then, remove the water from Song Li's hands.
Ming Xiangyang handed over the prepared snacks: "This is a newly opened snack shop in the capital. Why don't you try it and see what you think?"
Song Li thought it looked like a cake.
Things in the capital are much more advanced.
There were cake shops as early as 82.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
He then picked up a piece to try: "Hmm, the taste is not bad."
Then he picked out a piece with a toothpick and handed it to Ming Xiangyang.
"You should try it too."
"it is good."
"By the way, how did you hurt your leg?"
Upon hearing this, Ming Xiangyang's eyes darkened, but he immediately pretended that nothing had happened.
"It's nothing, I just got hit by a car by accident."
Upon hearing this, Song Li stared blankly at Ming Xiangyang.
After all, I almost got hit by a car myself, and suddenly I had a sense of conspiracy.
Let's take another look at the Ming family's courtyard.
Their family background must be quite good.
Despite coming from such a privileged family, he ended up attending high school in a small place like Kaiyuan City.
There can't be nothing going on in between.
so......
"You're not short of money, why don't you hire a few military bodyguards?"
Ming Xiangyang stared blankly at Song Li: "You're worried about me?"
Song Li chuckled, "We're classmates, isn't it normal for me to care about you?"
Besides, she wanted to recruit all these high-achieving students under her wing.
She's aiming to establish a listed company; her future is bright, so naturally she needs talented people.
Ming Xiangyang: "I'm sorry to have worried you."
"It's okay, let's start studying!"
The afternoon is also quite long.
Moreover, Ming Xiangyang was naturally intelligent.
Therefore, for a week's worth of knowledge, Song Li only needs to cover the key points.
After speaking for forty minutes in an hour, followed by a twenty-minute break, Song Li planned to leave at six o'clock in the afternoon.
"Let's have dinner here!"
"No, I have something to do. I'll eat next time."
"Oh well!"
As he left, Uncle Hu carried a box: "Song, take this snack home and enjoy it."
Song Li looked at Ming Xiangyang: "Eating and taking things at the same time?"
"Uncle Hu bought too much, and I can't finish it all. We can't waste it."
"Okay, thank you."
See you next week.
"it is good."
Song Li left the courtyard intending to take a car.
Then she encountered a man: "Miss Song, our old man wants to see you."
Song Li looked at the man cautiously: "Who is your grandfather?"
"Young Master Xiangyang's grandfather."
"There shouldn't be anything between us, right?"
"The old man just wants to talk to you."
Song Li thought for a moment, then looked at the coffee shop in front of her and said, "If you want to talk, let's go to the coffee shop across the street."
This place is in the way, and it's safer; who knows if someone here has bad intentions?
Ever since he and his second brother encountered bad guys, Song Li has become more cautious than before.
The man thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go call the old man. Song, go and wait there first."
"You only have half an hour. Don't wait until then."
The man looked at Song Li in disbelief. Where did this young girl get the courage to speak to the old man like that?
Song Li entered the coffee shop.
I just ordered a cup of coffee.
We can't just sit here empty-handed!
Nowadays, there are plenty of Western restaurants and coffee shops in Beijing.
Everyone is curious about food abroad.
However, these things are not cheap.
A cup of coffee costs a little over a dollar.
That's equivalent to a day's wages for an average person, and not everyone can afford to drink it.
Song Li waited quietly.
Sure enough, less than half an hour later, Grandpa Ming came in leaning on a cane.
However, he didn't look very well.
Looking at Song Li.
Song Li's expression was unpredictable.
The old man was furious.
But I still sat down.
Then I ordered a cup of tea.
Mr. Ming was a traditional man and didn't like Western things like coffee.
Both sides remained silent.
Finally, Old Master Ming spoke up: "Do you know why I'm looking for you?"
Song Li: "I would like to hear the details..."
"Your knowledge is quite good; I heard you were the top student in Province C."
"And then?" Song Li didn't expect that Old Master Ming would investigate him. What did he have that was worth investigating?
"However, no matter how good one's knowledge is, without an excellent family background, one cannot enter the Ming family."
Song Li's lips twitched: "No, who told you I wanted to marry into the Ming family!"
Grandpa Ming looked at Song Li with disdain: It was as if he was saying, "Don't pretend, all you young girls want to marry into a wealthy family."
"Let's get straight to the point and tell the truth: how much money do you want? That way we won't keep bothering Xiangyang."
"Grandpa Ming, did you visit the wrong grave?"
"He said he had someone he liked. I could tell that day. My grandson treats you differently."
Did he say he liked me?
"Then it's alright."
Song Li realized that he had mistaken her for someone else. He just happened to be there that day, so he assumed it was her.
"You can talk to your grandson about this! It could save you some money."
Old Master Ming remained silent.
Song Li suddenly realized: "Your words are worthless in front of him."
The old man looked calculating.
Ming Xiangyang doesn't resemble him at all.
Moreover, it's clear that Ming Xiangyang doesn't like him either.
Ok!
Out of consideration for our classmate relationship, I'll extort some money for him.
"Alright! I give up. Since the old man wants to settle this with money, I'm not the kind of person who's unreasonable. How much are you planning to offer?"
Old Master Ming looked at Song Li's money-grubbing manner.
"Two thousand yuan, leave Xiangyang."
"Two thousand? You think you can give me a beggar?" Song Li exclaimed in surprise.
Old Master Ming was so angry: "Cough cough cough... Then how much do you want?"
Song Li: "Twenty thousand."
"Cough cough cough... You're robbing me!"
"Isn't this something you delivered right to my doorstep?"
"What? Even someone as wealthy as yours can't afford 20,000? You should have said so earlier. I thought you were such a well-off family that you couldn't even come up with 20,000."
Do you know how much 20,000 is?
Song Li shook her head: "I don't know, but I know that if I marry into the Ming family, it will definitely be more than this."
Grandpa Ming took a deep breath: "Ah Zhong, go back and have the butler give you 20,000."
"Yes."
