Chapter 54 Zhou Chong is gay, but he's really rich.
Shan Jian's expression darkened; he hadn't expected Shan Qingshan to be so stubborn.
Shan Jian was born in the city and had never lived in such a shabby place. He had little contact with Shan Qingshan and disdained to have any contact with him.
Even if a wild child from a remote mountain village is good at studying, what kind of vision and ability can he have? It would be easy to manipulate him.
It wasn't that he coveted Shan Qingshan or anything like that.
There's nothing left for Shan Qingshan to covet now.
He originally just wanted to take advantage of Shanqing Mountain's influence, without stealing or robbing, doing it openly and honestly, and he gave him face, but he was so ungrateful!
Sure enough, those who aren't raised by their parents have poor manners!
Since Shan Qingshan lacks manners, there's no need for him to save face. He should teach him a lesson and change his bad temper!
To avoid suffering great losses in society in the future.
This can be considered as helping him.
"Brother, I came to see you with good intentions, and this is how you treat me? What have I done to wrong you? What have I done to offend you? Aren't I your only brother? Blood is thicker than water, and even broken bones are still connected by tendons. Is the reason you treat me like this today because you're now rich and powerful, and you know all sorts of big stars and rich kids, so you look down on your brother? Don't forget, we are still honest farmers at heart! Don't forget your roots! Brother, you have really disappointed me!"
As soon as Shan Jian uttered those words, Shan Qingshan's live stream exploded.
[How can brothers hold a grudge overnight? The younger brother kindly came to spend New Year's Eve with him, and this is how he treats his own family? This cold-heartedness and callousness, no wonder he has no one to rely on.]
[Have those who defended Shan Jian forgotten about Xiao Bao's eccentric aunt? She spoke so righteously and logically, but every single word was a dig at Xiao Bao. The show has been airing for over twenty days, and you all believe her when she says she didn't see it before?]
[They've forgotten their families after climbing the social ladder; I'm disappointed and have stopped being a fan.]
...
Shan Qingshan's eyes were cold and sharp. "Shan Jian, the last time you came home was twelve years ago. In these twelve years, only Grandma has called you; you've never called me. Before today, you've never called me brother, yet you keep saying that blood is thicker than water. It's disgusting."
Dan Jian said urgently, "I've said it before, the affairs between the elders have nothing to do with us younger generation. You're busy studying, and I'm busy studying. Do you expect me to abandon my studies and future just to come back and stay with Grandma and you to be considered a family? Brother, don't be so selfish."
Looking at him, Shan Qingshan felt it was utterly absurd.
"Then as you say, the family doesn't need to stay together, get out."
Dan Jian was speechless for a moment, then stood still and took a deep breath.
"Although you are selfish and aggressive, I am not the kind of heartless person who would abandon my own brother. Whether you believe it or not, I sincerely came here today to celebrate the New Year with you. What you just said made it sound like I timed this perfectly, was jealous of your current popularity, and wanted to scheme against you. Your aunt might be that kind of person, but I am not..."
Shan Jian put down the fruit in his hand.
"Now that I'm grown up and have the ability to be independent, I want to do my best to be good to you. Why do you keep me at arm's length and make yourself suffer? Since you don't appreciate my good intentions, I won't say anything more. Anyway, I'm honest, upright, and sincere. Even if I'm drowned in netizens' spittle today, I will have a clear conscience!"
Shan Qingshan: "Since you are sincere, I owe Zhou Chong 50 million in medical expenses, you can take half of it."
"..."
[Hilarious! Qingshan Xiaobao is right. He's good at talking big, but he's actually showing filial piety by taking half of the medical expenses.]
[But Shan Jian didn't do anything wrong either. They're just kids, what can he do? His abilities are limited, what can you expect from a child? Are you just putting all the blame on him? At least he came!]
[They've been missing for over a decade, and now they're back. I wouldn't want family like that either.]
Perhaps they have their own difficulties.
[Well, maybe he's been paralyzed for ten years and can't ride in a car, so he can't come to see his grandmother.]
Don't argue, just see if he agrees or not.
...
At this moment, the CPU speed of the single-key press reaches its maximum value.
He was weighing the pros and cons.
Refusing would be a slap in the face to what I said before.
Before he could even establish his image of resilience and perseverance, he was about to destroy it all himself.
If I agree, I will have to bear a debt of 25 million.
Before even making money, you're already burdened with debt.
"Hesitating? Looks like you're not that filial."
Shan Qingshan spoke in a flat tone, but Shan Jian could hear the utter contempt and indifference in his voice.
He couldn't slap himself in the face, and he couldn't let a bastard look down on him.
"Okay, I agree."
"Then go home and get the property certificate to use as collateral."
"What?"
Single-cell pig brain overload.
Anyone can draw a pie.
His tone was cold and detached, each word piercing to the heart.
"Isn't writing an IOU enough? You only wrote an IOU, didn't you?"
Shan Jian looked Shan Qingshan up and down. "Or did you mortgage something?" Like yourself.
"The family's homestead and farmland are all in Zhou Chong's hands."
Shan Jian was stunned.
Does this shabby young master Zhou also want?
But he quickly realized that all they wanted was something to hold as collateral.
"Okay, no problem."
Shan Qingshan then took Shan Jian to see Zhou Chong, and went straight to the point, saying, "He said that he was also my grandmother's grandson, and that we were blood relatives, and that he wanted to share the debt."
Zhou Chong had actually been keeping an eye on the two of them the whole time.
To be more precise, I'm focusing on a single key.
If Shan Jian dares to displease Qing Shan Xiao Bao, he'll kick him away.
Unexpectedly...
That was quite unexpected.
Zhou Chong looked at Shan Jian.
When Shan Jian saw that the extremely wealthy young master of the Zhou family had his eyes on him, he immediately revealed a very confident smile.
The world is so big, he believed that Young Master Zhou had seen too few people, which was why he was attracted to the impoverished Shanqing Mountain.
People crave novelty.
Now that he's here, he'll let Young Master Zhou know that Shan Qingshan's actions and words were often forced by the circumstances and the pressures of life.
Shanqing Mountain is not as good as it seems.
But Shan Jian is different.
Despite being a student at Peking University, she was willing to put aside her studies and comfortable life to spend the Lunar New Year with her lonely brother. Even after being verbally abused, she refused to leave and even took the initiative to cover half of his medical expenses.
He felt that he was no less capable than the teachers who went to the mountains to teach.
In Young Master Zhou's eyes, he must be shining brightly at this moment!
Compared to him, Shan Qingshan only has one face that's passable.
Sure enough, Zhou Chong looked at him...
Shan Jian silently counted.
Five seconds.
Based on his observations of Zhou Chong during the program, this is already quite a lot.
Dan Jian was a little troubled. Had he gone too far and made Zhou Chong take a liking to him?
He's not willing to stoop down and become a butt seller.
But……
Zhou Chong is gay, but he is really rich.
After thinking about it, Shan Jian felt that one should not be too sharp, but rather more tactful, so as not to hurt others.
If this young master confesses his feelings to him, he should be more tactful and reject him slowly, so as not to hurt him.
Zhou Chong withdrew his gaze and looked at Shan Qingshan, "Isn't that unnecessary? All those contracts you signed, when added together..."
You can't be too explicit in front of the camera.
But even saying only half of it was enough for Shan Jian to understand.
Shan Qingshan is now making a fortune!
He absolutely cannot miss out on this incredible fortune!
"Young Master Zhou."
Shan Jian silently straightened his body. In his imagination, he was a pine tree that stood proudly against frost and snow, resilient and unyielding.
“That’s Shan Qingshan’s grandmother, and she’s mine too. I’m willing to mortgage my house to you to prove my sincerity.”
Zhou Chong: "Since you've made up your mind, let's write a more formal IOU. As for the house, there's no rush."
"good."
Zhou Chong looked at the director.
The director, who had been watching closely, stepped forward, put down his pen and paper, and left with a look that said "you're an idiot."
Zhou Chong: "The time, amount, type of loan, currency, purpose, repayment method, term, and interest rate must all be clearly stated."
Shan Qingshan frowned slightly.
Compared to this, the note he wrote to Zhou Chong, with a promissory note in the middle, a line of text at the bottom, a signature and date, seemed particularly hasty.
Zhou Chong: "I admire you quite a bit, so you can just not charge the same interest rate as Qingshan Xiaobao, and the term will be thirty years. As for the repayment method, you know this is not a small amount, so how about we stipulate that you pay me back 500,000 within three years for the first installment? If you can't pay it back, I'll come and take your house."
Shan Jian was full of confidence after hearing Zhou Chong say that Shan Qingshan was earning a lot more money now.
"no problem."
