Chapter 447 Beneficiary
Zhong Nianyao smiled slightly and then said, "Actually, I'm a very easy-going person. The psychological trauma left by Second Aunt's incident is really too great, so I think that in addition to the shares, I need something else to comfort my wounded little heart!"
"What do you want?"
Old Master Li's sharp eyes fell on Zhong Nian Yao, as if he wanted to see through her.
"I don't want much." Zhong Nianyao smiled and said, "Second uncle and second aunt gave me the shares to calm me down, so I accepted them without hesitation. Also, I'm a girl, so I can't resist beautiful things. I heard that Mr. Li got a glass-grown violet some time ago. I think it must be very beautiful!"
"Zhong Nianyao, you are asking for too much."
Before Mr. Li could even open his mouth to say anything, Zhong Mengxuan jumped out to object, "Do you know how much that violet jade is worth? It's worth hundreds of millions. How dare you ask for it?"
She naturally knew about the violet jadeite and liked it very much. Just like what Zhong Nianyao said, no girl could refuse such a beautiful thing.
However, she knew too well the value of this jadeite, which could almost be considered a family heirloom.
She had seen it several times before, and every time she saw it, she couldn't help but marvel at it. Now Zhong Nian Yao actually said she wanted that piece of jade. It was simply a pipe dream!
"Oh!" Zhong Nianyao's expression was indifferent, showing no emotion. "I am embarrassed to ask! But it's Mr. Li's freedom to give it or not. I don't care."
"I say mine, and he can make his own decision. There's no conflict, right?"
"You——" Zhong Mengxuan was so angry that she was speechless.
Mr. Li ignored Zhong Mengxuan. His eyes fell on Zhong Nianyao. "Is it true that as long as you get the violet, this matter will be written off?"
"Dad!" Li Chengru was very surprised. "Are you really going to give her that violet?"
Others didn't know, but he knew it very well: the violet had excellent water content and its future value would only increase. My father had put a lot of effort into buying this violet.
The glass bead violet is considered the finest jadeite. Not only is the water head excellent, but the entire piece of jade is the size of a basketball and has a very regular shape. Even without carving, it looks like an excellent work of art.
It could be said that this violet was a family heirloom. In fact, my father had indeed intended to do so. He usually kept the violet in a safe, only taking it out to admire it when he had free time.
My father loved the violet very much, and now he actually wanted to agree to Zhong Nian Yao and take out this piece of jade as an apology.
"I will make my own decision on this matter." Old Master Li glanced at Li Chengru calmly, "You don't need to say anything more."
Seeing the look from Mr. Li, although Li Chengru felt unwilling in his heart, he finally shut his mouth and said nothing more.
As for Zhong Mengxuan's opinion, both Mr. Li and Li Chengru simply chose to turn a blind eye. Now that things have come to this point, the culprit is Zhong Mengxuan. If she hadn't sowed discord and concealed such important information, none of this would have happened.
Old Master Li turned his head and looked at Zhong Nianyao, and continued, "Since you like that violet, then consider it as my Li family's apology to you. However, after accepting this apology, can this matter be written off?"
"Of course." Zhong Nianyao nodded, and then, as if she had thought of something, her eyes rolled and she continued, "This matter has nothing to do with your Li family. It's only because you insisted on getting involved that it has become like this. Actually, I think I'm still a very peace-loving person."
In the final analysis, she really couldn't be blamed for what happened this time. After all, she had never intended to cause any trouble to the Li family.
In fact, if Mr. Li and Li Chengru had not come to her house today, she would not even have remembered that there was such a relative.
Furthermore, the attitude of the Li family was truly infuriating. They acted as if it was their right, as if they were the masters of the Zhong family. They were truly ignorant of their proper conduct and lacked comprehension.
In this case, the other party will naturally have to pay the price.
The Li family will probably be heartbroken for a long time after losing the top-quality violet!
After getting Zhong Nianyao's promise, Mr. Li nodded and said, "Since Nianyao likes Violet, as an elder, I naturally can't be stingy."
"We were reckless in what happened today. As an apology, I'll have Violet delivered to your door as soon as possible."
Mr. Li is a decisive person. Once he makes a decision, he will never regret it.
After agreeing to Zhong Nianyao, he stood up and said goodbye, leaving with Li Chengru. As for Zhong Mengxuan, he didn't even glance at her.
Zhong Mengxuan didn't know whether she knew she was in the wrong or for some other reason, but she watched Mr. Li and Li Chengru leave without following them, and didn't even get up to see them off.
After Mr. Li left, Mr. Zhong also took Mrs. Zhong back to the room. At this time, his face no longer had the gloomy look that he had when Mr. Li was here, and he looked refreshed.
After Zhong Minghao cast a mocking look at Zhong Mengxuan, he also stood up and left.
As for Zhong Jinghao, he looked at Zhong Mengxuan deeply, then said hello to Zhong Nian Yao and got up to go back to the company.
There were originally quite a few people in the living room, but in an instant, only Zhong Mengxuan and Zhong Nianyao were left.
Zhong Mengxuan looked at Zhong Nianyao, who was sitting there with a leisurely expression on her face, and the resentment in her heart immediately came out. In order to prevent her mood from getting worse, she stood up and glared at Zhong Nianyao fiercely. Then, she stood up and planned to go back to her room.
However, just as he stood up, Zhong Nianyao's voice rang in his ears.
"Zhong Mengxuan, come to think of it, I really have to thank you! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to harvest a piece of top-quality violet today. To be honest, you can be considered my lucky star! No matter who did this or for what reason, the facts are right in front of us, and I am the beneficiary."
