Yang Shu was displeased when he was rejected, but for the sake of money, he could only suppress his anger and continue to plead:
"Uncle, don't be so heartless. You're all alone now, and you still have to rely on us nephews to take care of you in your old age and see you off when you die. The money you got from the demolition compensation will be given to us sooner or later!"
“Your adopted children have all grown up, gotten married, and moved out. Who will still care about you? Don’t worry, as long as you give me the demolition compensation, I will come to your house every day to cook for you and give you massages.”
They'll say anything for money.
Yang Ziqiang used to take care of them out of brotherhood, but he didn't expect to be treated with sincerity in return. Instead, they started eyeing his house.
The house he lives in now is indeed within the demolition area, but he hasn't even decided on the type of demolition compensation yet, and he's already eyeing the compensation money.
"My house is being demolished, and I'm prepared to take the house, not the compensation money," Yang Ziqiang politely declined.
Yang Shu's eyes lit up. "Wouldn't that be even better? If we take the house, we can use it as my son's wedding home."
"Then where will I stay?" Yang Ziqiang frowned.
Yang Shu, completely oblivious to the anger on his face, assumed that:
"It's not easy for you to find a place to live on your own. You can go live with your adopted daughter or your adopted son. It wasn't easy for you to raise them, so it's only right that they take care of you."
"Then I'd like to come and stay at your place?" he said deliberately.
Unexpectedly, Yang Shu became wary as soon as he heard that he wanted to stay at his house.
“I don’t have many rooms at home, so there’s no place for you to stay! Of course, if you really want to go, I’ll go back and discuss it with my wife. You can give us your retirement pension, and I believe she will agree.”
Yang Ziqiang scoffed inwardly, thinking, "They've really got a good plan."
His pension is several thousand a month, enough for his whole family's expenses. This isn't inviting him to live here; it's clearly trying to squeeze every last penny out of him.
"You must have been pretty good at using an abacus when you were in school," Yang Ziqiang said, tugging at his lips.
Yang Shu chuckled: "That's right, I'm not good at other subjects, but I'm good at playing chess."
Yang Ziqiang said coldly, "They've tried to frame me for this crisis."
"Do you really think I'm all alone and can take advantage of someone who has no family to support you? Let me tell you, I have adopted sons and daughters, and I treat them as my own children. They also treat me as their father."
Besides, I now have a wife and a daughter, and from now on, all the money in the house will be under my wife's control.
Yang Shu looked completely bewildered. "Uncle, what are you talking about? Where did you get a biological daughter?"
Jiang Ning, holding Ji Min's hand, happened to be passing by on the deck when she heard their conversation and walked towards them.
"I'm his own daughter, what's wrong with that?"
Jiang Ning stared directly at the poplar tree with eyes as sharp as a hawk's.
Yang Shu stared at Jiang Ning, speechless for a long time.
He had seen Jiang Ning on television and knew that she was the chairman of Fuqiang Group and that she was a beautiful woman.
Unexpectedly, seeing her snow-white skin and plump arms in person, I realized that the effect shown on TV was less than a tenth of what I saw in person.
Such a prominent figure as her is actually Yang Ziqiang's daughter!
Yang Shu's eyes darted around, and he changed his story.
"Uncle, if she really is your daughter, then congratulations. She's so rich; even a small amount from her could support an ordinary person for a year. Since she's so wealthy, you certainly won't mind giving me the house that was demolished as compensation, right?"
Why would a rich person care about three or five hundred thousand?
Yang Ziqiang firmly stated, "I refuse! The house is mine, and I can do whatever I want with it. My daughter has money, that's hers, and I have no right to touch her money."
Little Tree, you used to be a good child, and I was quite proud of your father. I never imagined you'd become like this.
Yang Shu was rejected, and a fire burned in her heart.
"Remember what you say today, or you'll regret it later."
With that, he left the deck and headed to another floor.
After he left, Yang Ziqiang told Ji Min that she would be in charge of all the money in the house from now on.
Ji Min shook her head, "I don't care about the accounts, I only care about spending money. Why would I save any money when I'm surrounded by rich people like you!"
Jiang Ning thought her idea was good; she really didn't need to take the money.
She had already given Ji Min a credit card and a debit card, so that no matter what she did outside, she could spend the money in them as she pleased.
The dance began at seven o'clock.
Everyone went to the ship's largest ballroom and danced to the music.
Jiang Ning noticed that Sophia, who usually loved to dance, was not there this time.
She quickly sent someone to invite him.
To everyone's surprise, the people who went to invite them never saw them at all.
Jiang Ning then asked relevant people in the know, and only then did she learn that none of the three members of their family were there.
"Let's split up and search." Jiang Ning had a bad feeling and quickly told everyone to stop dancing so they could start looking for the person.
The noisy songs in the dance hall were replaced by shouts.
Nobody was in the mood to sing or dance anymore.
When Yang Shu saw them looking for someone, he pretended to be interested.
"Uncle, are you looking for someone? I can ask my colleagues to help me look."
Yang Ziqiang initially wanted to refuse, but then thought that since he worked here, he should be familiar with the situation, so he agreed.
When Yang Shu saw that he had agreed, he immediately asked him for the money.
"Asking colleagues for help also requires money; you can't do anything without money."
Yang Ziqiang had no choice but to promise him that he would give him 10,000 yuan as a reward.
Yang Shu agreed, thinking to himself that rich people really don't treat money like money!
He was extremely pleased with himself.
However, he didn't put in any real effort; he just made a lot of noise but didn't actually go looking for it.
Finally, Jiang Ning seemed to hear a knocking sound and found them in a cubicle on the top floor.
By this time, they were already somewhat dehydrated in the cubicle, and their voices sounded weak and listless.
Jiang Ning quickly found the person in charge on the ship, opened the compartment door, and rescued them.
When the three people came out, they were pale and had difficulty breathing.
Songsong, in particular, almost fainted.
The ship's doctor examined them and confirmed they were alright, which relieved everyone.
That small cubicle is usually not opened, so how did they get in?
The person in charge asked them what had happened at the time.
Tongtong told everyone that Songsong saw a colorful balloon, was attracted by it, and ran after the balloon, so the couple ran after Songsong.
Before they knew it, they had reached the top floor. Finally, Songsong went into a small cubicle to pick up balloons, and they followed her in. Suddenly, the door closed.
"This was clearly done on purpose." The person in charge quickly noticed the clues.
Jiang Ning was furious and demanded that the person in charge investigate the matter thoroughly, or she would call the police and prevent the cruise ship from leaving port.
The person in charge broke out in a cold sweat and immediately arranged for someone to investigate.
Soon, Yang Shu was led to the crowd.
