Now, Shao Shihuai's face was really stiff and he didn't know what to say.
Jiang Qi, who was standing aside, smiled slightly and stepped forward. He said, "Master Shao, just be frank. With the Sea Alliance here, you don't have to worry about anything."
Shao Shihuai's expression relaxed when he heard this.
He and Mrs. Shao looked at each other. As expected, this Young Master Jiang was not afraid of Chu Shiyu and dared to go against him.
It seems they made the right choice in him.
Jiang Qi's eyes gleamed with pride, and he said to Chu Shiyu with a smile, "Master Chu, Patriarch Shao has chosen to cooperate with our Haimeng.
So, I guess Young Master Chu won't fight us for that half of the ancient jade mine, right?"
Chu Shiyu glanced at him, then glanced at Elder Hong, a cold gleam in his eyes.
The three of them, White Scorpion, Tianlong, and Golden Toad, sneered. White Scorpion said, "Shao Shihuai, are you sure you want to cooperate with the Sea Alliance?
We will give you another chance to choose again. If you choose to cooperate with us, we promise that 20% of the mined minerals will belong to the Shao family.
The remaining 80% belongs to us.
Don't think we are taking advantage of you. You can't even protect one percent of such a huge treasure, and you may even lose the lives of your entire family.
But if you cooperate with us, the 20% you earn will be enough for you to break out of Lancheng and become a considerable family even in Guzhou."
When he said this, Shao Shihuai's expression showed no emotion.
A hint of disdain flashed across Mrs. Shao's face.
Give them 20%? What a joke!
They have the mineral vein, why should they only get 20%?
Young Master Jiang just said that he would split the profits 50-50 with them.
They originally thought it was a bit unfair that they only got half, but compared with Chu Shiyu's 20%, 50,000 was obviously more generous.
Shao Shihuai sneered in his heart, but his face was full of embarrassment. He said, "I appreciate Master Chu's kindness, but... we have already promised Master Jiang, so we can't go back on our word again."
Seeing that he refused, Chu Shiyu and the others could see what he was thinking.
Bai Xie sneered, "In that case, we, the Chu family, won't force you. If one day your Shao family regrets their decision and comes to us for help, we won't be as easy to talk to as we are today."
Shao Shihuai quickly said, "Thank you, Master Chu, for your understanding!"
Then he took the microphone handed to him by the servant, walked to the front, and said in a serious voice: "Crown, my Shao family has decided to cooperate with the Sea Alliance. From now on, the Shao family's mineral vein will be divided equally with the Sea Alliance.
Mr. Shao was not stingy with such a great thing. Next, each guest would receive a piece of ancient spiritual jade as a gift.
Thank you all for coming today. Next, I invite you all to eat and drink well and have a great time. "
As he spoke, he raised his hand, made a gesture of invitation, and led the way.
Everyone followed him into another hall. As soon as they entered, they saw that the food and wine had been laid out, with a fragrant aroma and a dazzling array of delicacies.
Ruan Pengkai and others walked up to Ruan Qiao and said, "Qiaoqiao, it's almost time, let's leave. We should stay away from the Shao family in the future."
Ruan Pengkai felt uncomfortable ever since he entered the Shao family.
When his aunt was still alive, he had also come to the Shao family. At that time, the Shao family gave him a good feeling.
However, seeing that my aunt was living a happy and stable life in the Shao family, the old man did not want to destroy the marriage.
Ruan Qiao said, "Why wait a while? Since we don't like it, we can just leave now."
Just then Shao Yiyi came over.
She looked aggrieved and didn't dare look at Chu Shiyu. Instead, she looked at Ruan Qiao with red eyes and said, "Cousin Qiaoqiao, I know I did something wrong and made you unhappy.
But please don't take your anger out on Mom and Dad, okay? I was ignorant and offended Big Brother, Cousin Qiaoqiao, and I'm here to apologize to you!"
As she spoke, she took the two glasses of juice from the waiter.
"Cousin Qiaoqiao, I'm not feeling well, so I'll use this to make amends to you. I'll drink it all in one gulp."
As Shao Yiyi spoke, she picked up one of the glasses of juice, tilted her head back and drank it in big gulps.
She drank it all in one breath and let Ruan Qiao look at the bottom of the cup. Her cheeks were slightly red.
She slowed down, her eyes becoming even redder, tears welling up in them, and she sobbed, "Cousin Qiaoqiao, I'm really sorry. I know I was wrong."
She picked up another glass of juice and carefully placed it in front of Ruan Qiao. "Cousin Qiaoqiao, can you please forgive me? Even if... you just take a small sip."
Ruan Qiao stared at the glass of orange juice in her hand, a cold light flashing in her eyes.
Although she didn't know what Shao Yiyi was planning, she knew that Shao Yiyi would never be so kind as to apologize to her.
Then there must be something wrong with the juice.
At the same time, Chu Shiyu also looked coldly at the juice in Shao Yiyi's hand.
White Scorpion, Sky Dragon and Golden Toad had cold glints on their faces and murderous intent flashed in their eyes.
I don’t know whether to say this woman is bold or stupid for plotting against Miss Ruan in front of them.
Ruan Qiao suddenly smiled at this time. She readily took the juice from Shao Yiyi's hand and held it in her hand.
When Shao Yiyi saw her take it, she was overjoyed and excited.
Then, she was disappointed to see that Ruan Qiao just took it but had no intention of drinking it.
She couldn't help but feel anxious again, and she couldn't help but ask, "Cousin Qiaoqiao, why don't you drink? Are you still unwilling to forgive me?"
She looked at Ruan Qiao with sweet eyes, her eyes full of expectation.
Ruan Qiao looked at her with a half-smile and asked, "Why do you think I would drink the juice you brought me?"
