Chapter 3 Okay, okay, so this is how all you rich people play, huh?!
"I promised Grandpa."
Pei Jinwu pursed her lips, her gaze darkening.
Grandpa's last wishes: to go to university and find his family.
He said: Going to university will make you more sensible and teach you to take care of yourself. Finding family will mean more people will care for our little Jinwu.
"Okay."
Mentioning Mr. Shen, Lou Ying didn't dare to joke anymore and got down to business: "I have news about the bracelet you asked me to find. I'll send the information to your email."
"Um."
Pei Jinwu glanced at the phone casually, and before hanging up, added, "Do me one more thing."
"Alright, Ancestor, give your orders."
Lou Ying swirled his wine glass, his tone indulgent.
“We’ll buy a building in the city center and exchange it for land in northern Mengjiao. We’ll move there in a while.”
"Cough cough cough, what?"
Lou Ying nearly choked on her red wine after hearing what her little ancestor had to say.
They would trade a property in the city center, worth over a billion yuan, for Mengjiao, a place even dogs wouldn't deign to pee in.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."
Lou Ying took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down: "Let's put aside the housing development for now, what can we do with the land in Mengjiao?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu wiped the photo of her grandfather clean and answered without thinking, "Cilantro, I like cilantro."
"!!!"
Lou Ying's mouth was slightly open, and her beautiful face displayed a myriad of expressions.
Spend hundreds of millions to buy a piece of land... to grow something as inhuman as cilantro.
Okay, okay!
Is this how all you rich people play?!
——
Six o'clock in the morning.
"Jinwu, which school do you go to?" Pei Shu peeled an egg for her and asked gently, "After you finish breakfast, your aunt will take you there."
"I didn't attend class."
Pei Jinwu stirred the porridge and calmly replied, "I've been on leave from school for over a year."
When I was a child.
The Shen couple couldn't tolerate her and always took advantage of her grandfather's quiet meditation at the Taoist temple to make things difficult for her, both openly and secretly.
When her grandfather found out, he took her to the Taoist temple.
Besides attending classes at the school next to the Taoist temple, she also follows her master to improve her health.
She had just finished her first year of high school when her grandfather fell seriously ill, so she accompanied him back to the capital for treatment.
The second year of high school begins.
She found news about the herbs she was looking for, so she took leave and went to another place.
The Shen couple lied and claimed that she was skipping classes because she disliked school, and secretly processed her withdrawal from school.
Shen Yunrou used the tens of thousands of yuan in tuition fees that were refunded to buy designer clothes for her pet dog.
Later, Grandpa's condition worsened.
She took care of him so closely that he didn't have time to study.
Let's do the math.
She should be a senior in high school this year.
"You've dropped out of school?"
Pei Shu was taken aback and almost dropped her chopsticks.
She's only eighteen.
Is he really as ignorant and incompetent as people say?
Looking at the well-behaved girl in front of her, Pei Shu shook her head.
It doesn't seem like it.
"She's in the same grade as me." Wen Jianjian ate a steamed bun, her cheeks bulging. "There are only three months left until the college entrance exam. I need to find a school quickly."
"Don't worry, your aunt will think of a solution." Pei Shu gritted her teeth and thought seriously.
The capital city does not allow repeating grades, so Jinwu can only follow the school registration and study for the third year of high school.
If your foundation is weak, you'll find it difficult to learn.
but--
It doesn't matter whether it's a bachelor's degree or an associate's degree.
It's never a bad thing for girls to read more books.
"Mmm." Wen Jianjian nodded her little head and peeled her egg for Pei Jinwu: "Don't worry, cousin, I'll help you catch up on your missed lessons."
Wen Jianjian's family situation was not good, but she was very ambitious.
I got into the top high school in the capital city—the Imperial High School—through my own abilities.
"Auntie, actually..."
Looking at the kind mother and daughter, Pei Jinwu didn't want to trouble them, so she said softly, "No need to look for a school. The college entrance exam shouldn't be a problem. I can study on my own."
What?
Studying for the college entrance exam by yourself?
The mother and daughter stared at each other, dumbfounded.
——
After breakfast.
Pei Shu and her daughter go to work and school.
Pei Jinwu changed into a black hoodie, put on a baseball cap and a mask, plugged in her earphones, and walked out.
"You really don't want me to come with you?"
Lou Ying was having a great time at the casino, and his cool gesture of casually tossing money around him caused the girls around him to scream continuously.
"Afraid I'll get taken advantage of?"
Pei Jinwu rode a shared bicycle to the garage and found the electric scooter parked in the corner among a group of luxury cars.
"Of course, ancestor, your life is worth a lot of money!"
Lou Ying took a sip of red wine, deliberately lowering her voice: "I heard that the people from the Northern Continent S Alliance have been looking for you recently. If something happens to you, those old guys at the base will go crazy!"
"Come on if you're not afraid to die!"
Pei Jinwu lazily raised an eyebrow, her tone incredibly arrogant.
Lou Ying was speechless.
Too.
Who wouldn't be afraid of death and dare to easily provoke this ancestor?
S Alliance hadn't been beaten enough, yet they still dared to court death.
Hang up the phone.
Pei Jinwu put on his helmet, gave a cool dragon tail swing, and his electric scooter sped away from the pile of sports cars like a gust of wind.
——
Half an hour later.
Arrive at the most famous underground black market in the North Continent—the Ghost Market.
Hidden deep underground, lit by lamplight at midnight, they do not engage in trade.
It is a place where many strange and unusual things gather, as well as people and objects outside the law.
The jade bracelet she was looking for was right here.
Pei Jinwu parked her electric scooter, popped a candy into her mouth, put her hands in her pockets, and strolled slowly down the street of the ghost market.
Because it is built underground and never sees the light of day, it appears unusually eerie under the lights.
No one dared to venture into the ghost market alone.
Not to mention girls, strolling alone on the street.
This arrogant attitude quickly aroused the vigilance of surrounding businesses.
Pei Jinwu wandered around for a while and finally found what she was looking for in an antique shop in the corner.
A glassy imperial green jadeite bracelet.
When my grandfather's company faced a crisis when he was young, my grandmother reluctantly sold it to raise money.
Grandpa had been trying to find it all these years, but it was never found before he passed away.
"I want this bracelet!"
After confirming that everything was correct, Pei Jinwu slightly raised her eyes and spoke.
Who wants to buy something?
A middle-aged man, who was holding Buddhist prayer beads, ran out happily.
Upon seeing the other person clearly, his face immediately fell.
Although she was bundled up and wearing a mask, you could tell she was a young girl.
He was dressed in rags, looking like a beggar.
"Go away, stop causing trouble!" The boss sat in his chair, fiddling with his teacup, and said irritably, "This thing costs five million. Do you even have five hundred dollars on you?"
"..."
Pei Jinwu slowed down her chewing of the candy, a hint of malice flashing in her lowered eyes. She took out her bank card and threw it on the table.
Um?
The boss sipped his tea, half-believing, half-doubting, and asked the shop assistant to confirm the amount.
Sure enough, there were five million.
become.
This bracelet was originally bought for three million, and sold for five million, making a profit.
Just as I was about to open the box to pick up the goods, the shop assistant suddenly leaned close to my ear.
I'm so sorry!
After hearing this, the shop owner stopped what he was doing and a sly smile appeared on his face. "Another customer also has his eye on this bracelet."
"I wanted it first."
Pei Jinwu slightly raised her eyes, her eyes red as blood, and a chilling low pressure enveloped her.
I'm in a really bad mood, I want to kill someone!
But reason reminded me that it wasn't good to fight or kill before the seventh day after my grandfather's death.
"Black market rule: highest bidder wins." The boss wasn't afraid of a mere girl like her, and gestured: "They offered eight million."
Only a fool wouldn't make money when he has the chance.
"Ten million."
Pei Jinwu suppressed his anger and reluctantly quoted the price.
Boss: "The other party has 15 million."
"..."
Pei Jinwu's eyes suddenly turned cold, and her fists, hanging at her sides, clenched tightly: "Twenty million."
at this time.
Another private room.
The man's broad figure sank into the leather sofa, his long legs naturally crossed, and his beautiful fingers twirling a cigarette.
The warm yellow light shone down, enveloping him in a halo, giving him an indescribable air of aloofness and nobility.
"Master, the other party has offered twenty million," Feng Xing said respectfully.
"Keep following."
Without even lifting his inkstone, Shang Shi spoke in a deep, slow voice, like a king looking down upon the world.
"Well, what is it?"
After hearing the shop assistant's latest quote and information, the boss advised, "Young lady, give up. The other party might be someone you don't want to mess with."
I heard that sports cars have license plates that start with the letter S.
Throughout the entire Northern Continent, only the Shang family, a century-old clan and a top-tier wealthy family, dares to use the prefix "S".
The merchant's residence was located in the capital.
He's someone you can't afford to mess with!
Pei Jinwu turned her head slightly, her sharp eyes flashing with cold light, her tone extremely impatient: "Am I someone to be trifled with?"
boss:"???"
Who is this girl? She's dressed very plainly, yet she doesn't even blink when it comes to spending tens of millions.
Damn it?
Now neither of them dared to offend them!
