Chapter 891 Has the business changed hands?
"Da da da—"
Upon hearing footsteps, everyone in the hall looked over at the same time.
Pei Jinwu was wearing a white sleeveless midi dress, and her waist was slender.
The skirt hem reached her knees, revealing her shapely, fair legs.
Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her entire body was so fair it seemed to glow under the lights.
Upon closer inspection...
She held a bag of chocolate-flavored fries in her hand, her expression relaxed and languid.
Her husband, Shang Shiyan, followed behind her, with a coat draped over her left arm and a water glass in her right hand.
The couple had an exceptionally good presence; they stood there like two majestic mountains.
It was incredibly intimidating, making it hard to breathe.
Look at her.
Grandpa An tightened his grip on his cane, his brow furrowing.
Mr. An and his wife exchanged a glance, feeling inexplicably guilty.
"Grandma, you called me."
Pei Jinwu handed the unfinished potato chips to Shang Shiyan, stepped forward, and obediently took the old lady's hand.
"Yes, someone wants to speak to you personally." The old lady patted Pei Jinwu's hand and said with a smile, "Sit down, my good child."
"Um."
Pei Jinwu nodded, then looked down and saw that her grandfather was next to the old lady.
There are no extra spaces.
Just as she was about to go to another sofa, the old lady suddenly kicked the old man's leg: "You sit over there, you have no sense of propriety."
"oh."
The old man immediately stood up, moved to the side, sat down, and stared at Shang Shiyan.
An family: "???"
What's going on?
It's one thing for Old Madam Shang to be able to sit in the main seat, but what is Pei Jinwu's status?
How could the old man actually give up his seat for her?
This is utterly upside down!
And then there's Shang Shiyan, who didn't say a word, just watching his wife run rampant in the business world?!
"..."
Noticing the other person scrutinizing him, Shang Shiyan cast a cold, icy glance at him, sending chills down one's spine.
"..."
The An family couple immediately looked away.
"I heard someone wants to see me?"
After sitting down, Pei Jinwu slightly raised her head, her cool gaze falling on the three people opposite her.
“Wuwu, this is your grandfather’s friend, you can call him Grandpa An,” the old lady said. “Those two are your Uncle An and Aunt An.”
"An family?"
Pei Jinwu's lips curved slightly, and her eyes held a faint smile, but her words were somewhat sharp: "Grandma doesn't need an introduction, I know her very well."
"..."
The An family members swallowed hard, knowing that this girl was not easy to deal with.
The younger sister is a troublemaker, and so is the older sister.
A family full of troublemakers.
Grandpa An naturally felt that such a junior was not worthy of his subservience.
He then gestured for his son and daughter-in-law to come and talk to him.
"Miss Pei."
Mr. An stood up, his tone still relatively gentle: "Huini was simply bewitched and made a mistake in a moment. I hope Miss Pei will consider the friendship between our two families and have Miss Black Fox issue her a letter of forgiveness."
"Regarding compensation, we will do our best to meet Miss Black Fox's request."
Yes, yes, yes.
Mrs. An chimed in, "If you want money, name your amount, and we'll give it to you."
money?
Upon hearing this, Pei Jinwu suddenly laughed and said casually, "You think my fourth sister called the police just to get money?"
"..."
Mrs. An choked up, though she didn't show it, that's what she thought.
What else?
If it's not for the money, why are you holding on so tightly?
"..."
The other merchants glanced at Pei Jinwu; although she was smiling, her eyes were terrifyingly cold.
Shang Shiyan and the old man drank their tea in silence, not daring to interrupt.
They were afraid of getting into trouble.
The old lady patted Pei Jinwu's hand and comforted her, "Don't be angry. Some people don't think before they speak. Try to understand them."
Mrs. An, who speaks without thinking: "?"
"Since the An family is so sincere, I won't make things difficult for them."
Pei Jinwu raised her red lips and said in a lazy voice, "I have two suggestions. If the An family can do it, I will persuade my fourth sister to let An Huini go."
"Okay, go ahead."
Mr. An saw that there was hope and a bright smile appeared on his face.
In the end, it still costs money.
Things that can be solved with money aren't really problems.
"My first condition is that since Madam An keeps talking about money, then give my fourth sister 20 billion." Pei Jinwu leaned back on the sofa, her voice clear and pleasant.
"..."
Upon hearing this number, Old Master An frowned deeply, his face turning ashen.
"How much? How much do you want?!"
Mrs. An jumped up in fright, her exquisitely made-up face contorted into a hideous expression. "Two hundred billion? Did I hear that right?"
Although the An family is indeed considered a top-tier wealthy family in the capital.
But compared to businesses, they are still far behind.
If it were two billion, they might seriously consider it and grit their teeth to give it to them.
But that's 20 billion!
That much money could buy the lives of everyone in Anjia.
"Was I not clear enough?" Pei Jinwu sat next to the old lady, her delicate and beautiful face slightly raised, her smile ambiguous. "Then I'll say it again: 20 billion to buy your daughter's life."
"..."
Grandpa An gripped his cane tightly, and the An couple were so frightened they didn't dare to say a word.
This isn't a lion opening its mouth wide, it's a hippo opening its mouth wide.
"It seems that compared to money, my daughter's life is nothing."
Pei Jinwu raised an eyebrow and said, "If she goes in, she'll be locked up for at most ten years or so; it won't kill her."
"Indeed, compared to ten years, the temptation of 20 billion is much greater."
"Go back and tell An Huini to pack her things and go in to study. When she comes out in ten years, she can be a better person again."
"you--"
Mrs. An was furious, and then she looked at the other merchants.
There was absolutely no intention to stop it.
To indulge.
"Please sit down." Mr. An hurriedly pulled his wife back, and said in a deep voice, "Miss Pei, didn't you say there were two paths? What's the other one?"
"Break An Huini's right hand, and this matter will be over."
Pei Jinwu raised her eyes and said, word by word.
His right hand is ruined?
With a body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, how could she dare to say such cold words?
"Miss Pei, do you have any conscience?" Madam An could no longer tolerate it and stood up again to question, "Huini is only twenty years old, do you want to cripple her hands?"
"The child whose heart was being squeezed by her, and who could not receive treatment, seemed to be less than five years old."
Pei Jinwu, holding her teacup, said unhurriedly, "Heartless? Who is truly heartless?"
"Enough!"
After listening for a long time, Old Master An was filled with anger. He stood up shakily, leaning on his cane: "It seems that Miss Pei has no sincerity in negotiating a peace."
Anjia cannot meet either of these conditions.
Pei Jinwu sneered and said without any politeness, "Do you have one?"
Either give me money, or give me your hands.
The terms she offered were good enough.
"If you're not sincere, then don't make a fuss about it to the merchants."
Pei Jinwu put down her cup and said coldly, "Butler, see the guest out."
"Brother Shang!"
Grandpa An let out a heavy sigh, nearly fainting from anger. "What do you think of this? Has the business changed hands?"
——
good evening.
