991 Chapter 991
“This kind of thing should have been thrown away long ago. How can this represent a person? The Lin family is too superstitious.”
Jiang Ming did not say a word. He had been observing the old lady’s expression and actions.
He could not help but think she was being too nice.
Although he could not think too badly of her, he could faintly feel that this old lady was not as simple as he thought she was. She had other plans.
“Madam Shang, you are wrong to do this, I have been friends with you for more than twenty years, it is one thing for you to be biased toward an outsider, but you even broke the token that represents my daughter’s life. Do you think it’s worth it for such a heartless person?”
Master Lin carefully picked up the broken token, and tears could not help but flow from his eyes.
Seeing this farce, everyone present could not help but feel upset.
They originally thought that Jiu Zhu did not have any backing, but in the end, he had a good relationship with old Madam Shang.
Those who had previously insulted Jiang Ming could not help but secretly slap themselves in the face.
They knew the strength of Madam Shang. She was much stronger than the Lin family.
They really did not expect that by speaking up for the Lin family, they would provoke an even more powerful person. When the time came, they hoped that Jiu Zhu would not remember them. They did not want to die young.
“He is not an outsider; he is my savior. The Shang family has always treated Jiu Zhu respectfully. Master Lin, you should understand now, right?”
The old lady saw a chair at the side and sat down, crossing her legs.
“I think should leave. As for my savior getting rid of your daughter, that’s simply not an issue. With the Shang family around, do they still need to provoke your daughter? I’m afraid it’s your daughter’s problem, right?”
With that said, the situation was reversed.
Master Lin gritted his teeth, his words revealing a threat.
“The Shang family has been working with the Lin family for more than twenty years. Many of the recent products of the Shang family seem to be related to the Lin family.”
“Grandma Shang, have you been bewitched by these two people? How can you protect these two? They can’t be your saviors,” Lin Siqing quickly added, feeling even more frustrated.
He did not know when these two people had gotten close to the old madam of the Shang family.
No matter what, even if he offended her, he had to get rid of these two people. Otherwise, it would be difficult to resolve the hatred in his heart.
Thinking of his pitiful sister, he could not help but feel dejected. “My sister was indeed killed by them. Grandma Shang, you praised me for being honest before. Don’t you believe me? Someone must be creating rumors about this. It’s better for our two families not to have conflicts.”
Old Madam Shang pretended to comfort Master Lin and Lin Siqing, but her heart was clear.
If Master Lin insisted on confronting the Shang family, she did not mind giving up on the Lin family.
Compared to extending one’s lifespan, what was the Lin family?
In the eyes of Master Lin and Lin Siqing, they still had a chance to negotiate with the old madam of the Shang family.
“You know the relationship between our two families. In that case, let’s hand these two over to the Lin family to deal with,” said Master Lin immediately.
“In order to thank you for your assistance, the Lin family is willing to renew our contract with you for the rest of your life.”
Everyone present was surprised.
Old Madam Shang’s son was a useless man. He would definitely squander all of the Shang family’s assets once she died.
The Lin family’s proposal of a lifetime partnership was tantamount to cleaning up his mess. Thus, this was equivalent to ensuring the rest of the son’s life would be taken care of. Such conditions were extremely tempting.
But the Shang family’s old madam did not think much of it, instead, she said firmly, “The Shang family will definitely take these two away. No matter what you say, I’m not afraid. In order to protect these two people, I’m willing to give up everything that the Shang family has.”
The last sentence shocked everyone present. They all looked at Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan at the same time.
Were these two really that attractive? Were they really worth it for the old madam to do this?
Everyone knew that the Shang family’s old madam doted on her son. She had given up everything for him.
But now, she had even rejected such a tempting offer. What could Jiu Zhu and the people around him bring her?
“You…”
Master Lin was in disbelief. He looked at Jiang Ming and then at Madam Shang. “Do you mean to go against the Lin family?”
“If the Lin family insists on taking away my savior, then they are going against the Shang family.”
The old lady snorted coldly and stood up again. She walked to Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan.
“The Shang family welcomes you. Please follow me.”
Jiang Ming naturally could not refuse this respectful and enthusiastic invitation and nodded.
Without waiting for Master Lin’s reaction, the old lady turned around and walked forward with Jiang Ming and Sikong Wuyuan.
“Madam Shang, wait a moment.”
Master Lin clenched his fists. Blood flowed out of his palms, but he did not feel the slightest pain.
The old lady turned around and deliberately smiled kindly. “Master, is there something you need?”
Master Lin took a deep breath. “I feel like I haven’t visited your mansion for a long time. Why don’t you let me and my son stay in your mansion for a while?”
He was calculating everything.
He did not believe that with him and his son attacking Jiu Zhu from the front and back, the other party would not be able to defeat them without attacking back.
“That’s true. Then we’ll wait for Master Lin and my son to come to the Shang family as guests.” Madam Shang nodded.
“We’ll leave first.”
With that, they disappeared from where they were.
“Father, this old lady doesn’t seem to pay much attention to Jiu Zhu and the person beside him.”
Lin Siqing suddenly found something suspicious and whispered to Master Lin.
“I didn’t pay much attention to them. The old madam of the Shang family only kept those two people for some purpose. I just didn’t expect that this purpose would be more important than the glory and wealth of her son for the rest of his life. What conditions did Jiu Zhu negotiate with her?”
Master Lin’s eyes were filled with confusion, but he could not understand it no matter how hard he tried. However, he vaguely understood something.
