"Here's five hundred million, take the money and get lost!"
Just as Liu Zhi was about to leave with his men, Er Zhu suddenly placed a bank card in his hand.
Looking at the bank card in his hand and then at Er Zhu's calm expression, a hint of confusion flashed in Liu Zhi's eyes.
Five hundred million, that was a colossal sum for an ordinary wealthy family, let alone for someone from such a humble background!
So, he truly was the richest man!
The so-called Wang Er Zhu wasn't a pseudonym, but his actual name!
The more Liu Zhi thought about it, the more scared he became. He didn't even bother to pick up the bank card when it fell to the ground, his eyes fixed on Er Zhu as if trying to discern something from his face, but he couldn't see anything.
"You... are you really San Cheng's richest man, Wang Er Zhu?"
Unable to figure anything out, Liu Zhi finally blurted out the question.
Even though he had a strong suspicion, a suspicion was just a suspicion. He needed a definitive answer.
"Take it and get lost. If you babble any longer, I'll break your arm!"
Er Zhu frowned slightly, not even sparing Liu Zhi a glance. With those words, he pulled Tang Jie over.
He took the money not to save Tang Jie, but to repay Elder Tang's kindness and recognition.
If it weren't for Elder Tang, he would have been disgraced by the Miao family. Even if he had told the truth, Miao Qing and the guests who were enjoying the spectacle wouldn't have believed him.
"Miss Tang, I will not give up!"
Liu Zhi wanted to retort, but seeing Er Zhu's cold gaze, the words got stuck in his throat. After uttering a harsh threat, he hurried away.
Rumor had it that Wang Er Zhu was not only immensely powerful but also had a formidable background. It seemed this person was indeed San Cheng's richest man, Wang Er Zhu!
Thinking of this, Liu Zhi shivered and fled the premises like a madman with his henchmen.
If his father found out about this, he would be finished!
"Thank you for saving my life, Boss Wang. Boss Wang, I'm truly sorry for what happened just now. My granddaughter was blind."
Seeing Liu Zhi flee, Tang Jie apologized to Er Zhu with a fawning smile. As she spoke, she tiptoed and tried to kiss Er Zhu's cheek, but he dodged.
"Xiao Jie, what are you doing? Go back inside quickly!"
Elder Tang's face instantly turned red at the sight of his granddaughter's eagerness. A flicker of anger flashed in his eyes.
The young lady of a prominent second-tier wealthy family, publicly attempting to kiss a man in broad daylight! What was the difference between this and the behavior of women in certain professions!
The more Elder Tang thought about it, the angrier and more embarrassed he became. He wished he could crawl into a hole.
"Grandpa, don't be angry. I was just too excited."
A trace of shame and anger flashed in Tang Jie's eyes, but she didn't dare to lose her temper due to Er Zhu's status. She could only act cute towards her grandfather.
"Miss Tang, I didn't save you for your sake, but for Elder Tang's."
Just as Tang Jie was about to act cute and apologize to Er Zhu, Er Zhu suddenly spoke. His tone was very cold, so cold it was almost unkind!
Hearing this, Tang Jie's face instantly turned red, and her anger intensified!
Tang Jie had initially thought Er Zhu was captivated by her beauty when he paid, but she realized she had been mistaken.
She had never felt so humiliated in her life!
Tang Jie looked up at Er Zhu, but he didn't even glance at her, slowly walking towards the door.
"Boss Wang, thank you for what you did just now. Don't worry, I will return the five hundred million to you as soon as possible!"
Elder Tang hurried after him, bowed respectfully to Er Zhu, and his eyes were filled with gratitude.
Five hundred million, that was no small sum, yet Er Zhu had given it to Liu Zhi without batting an eye!
He, Tang, could never repay such immense kindness, even if he worked like an ox or a horse!
Elder Tang rubbed his eyes, and a bold idea slowly began to form in his mind…
"It's a small matter, Grandpa Tang. You don't need to feel obligated. If you really want to repay me, then let me pick a few antiques from your antique shop."
Er Zhu waved his hand dismissively, as if it were nothing. Then, as if struck by a thought, he looked ahead thoughtfully and spoke.
It was perfect timing. The spiritual energy in his jade pieces had been mostly absorbed, and he needed to restock.
"Alright, I'll take you to the antique shop right away. Take whatever you want!"
Elder Tang was taken aback. He nodded and opened the car door for Er Zhu, his demeanor as respectful as if he were Er Zhu's servant.
"Hmph, I was wondering why Boss Wang would be so generous. So he's got his eye on our family's antique shop. Grandpa, this guy is even more insidious than Liu Zhi!"
Just as Er Zhu was about to get into the car, Tang Jing, who had been quiet until now, suddenly spoke. She crossed her arms, looking as if she had seen through Er Zhu's intentions, and sneered at him.
Er Zhu couldn't be bothered to engage with her and directly closed the car door.
Did he need to go through such trouble to get antiques? He had merely said it casually because he didn't want Elder Tang to feel indebted.
Of course, Er Zhu wouldn't explain himself to Tang Jing, because she wasn't worthy!
"Madam, quickly take these two idiots back and discipline them strictly!"
Just as Tang Jing was about to speak again, Elder Tang frowned, glared at Tang Jie and her sister, and loudly berated Madam Tang.
Today, he had intended for these two sisters to bring honor to their Tang family, but instead, they had completely disgraced the Tang family!
He was fortunate that Er Zhu was magnanimous, otherwise, the Tang family would have suffered greatly!
The more Elder Tang thought about it, the angrier he became. After shooting a fierce glare at Tang Jie and her sister, he got into the car and left.
Watching the luxury car speed away, Tang Jie and Tang Jing smiled slyly, a determined glint in their eyes.
This richest man in San Cheng would undoubtedly be theirs!
Although Er Zhu saw through the intentions of the two women, he couldn't be bothered. He leaned back against the seat and closed his eyes to rest.
"Boss Wang, I'm truly sorry for what happened just now. I've spoiled these two children. Please don't take it to heart."
Seeing that Er Zhu remained silent, Elder Tang turned his head and cautiously attempted an apology.
This Er Zhu was the richest man in San Cheng. If he decided to take action against the Tang family, their family would truly face ruin!
The thought that the Tang family's century-old legacy might be destroyed by him sent a chill down Elder Tang's spine!
"Mm, I won't hold it against them, but only if they don't go too far."
Hearing Elder Tang's voice, Er Zhu finally opened his eyes. He nodded slightly, and the sharp faces of Tang Jing and her sister flashed in his mind.
"Yes, yes, yes, you can rest assured. I've already instructed Madam to discipline them strictly."
As soon as Er Zhu finished speaking, Elder Tang nodded repeatedly, barely daring to breathe.
As they spoke, Er Zhu arrived at Elder Tang's antique shop. Looking at his own establishment, Elder Tang finally regained some confidence:
"Boss Wang, these are all my antique shops. Where would you like to start?"
Er Zhu glanced at the area Elder Tang indicated, a glint in his eyes. Suddenly, his gaze fixed on a particular spot!
