Chapter 132 As Long as I Don't Die
Hua Qiming is a man in his fifties. This is not the first time I have met him. After all, I have worked in one of his subsidiaries for four years.
Actually, strictly speaking, Hua Qiming is not a businessman, but a scholar. His eyes behind a pair of glasses are full of wisdom. I looked at this legendary tycoon in the business world and felt very calm. What needs to be faced must be faced. No matter what his attitude towards me is, my determination to be with Hua Jingjing will never waver. I believe Jingjing is the same as me and will never succumb to the pressure from her family!
Hua Qiming looked at me for a long time with his stern eyes, and finally sighed and said, "Tell me! How much money do you need to leave my daughter?"
I smiled slightly, knowing that this old man would be no exception and would resort to this trick eventually, but he was quite direct!
I smiled and said, "I'm sorry! Jingjing, I won't sell it!"
My answer was also within the old man's expectations, so he was not angry. He took out a thin cigar from his pocket, peeled off the wrapper and put it in his mouth. The middle-aged man in a suit behind him immediately lit up the lighter for him.
Hua Qiming took a sip and looked at me again with his lightning-like eyes. He said, "As far as I know, Jingjing is my daughter. What right do you have to sell her or not?"
I guess this shrewd old man already knows everything, otherwise he wouldn't have confronted me. And at this time, I don't need to hide anything anymore. So I answered confidently: "I am qualified! Because Jingjing is my woman!"
The old man finally frowned, sighed, and didn't speak for a long time.
Hua Qiming smoked half of a cigar and gave it up. He handed it to the middle-aged man behind him and asked him to put it out. He seemed to be impatient to argue with me and directly offered a price: "Ten million, take the money and leave!"
I just want to laugh. This old man really thinks highly of me. He mentions astronomical figures right away. Is he trying to scare me to death?
I wanted to ridicule him, but then I thought that he was Jingjing's father after all. If I married Jingjing, I would have to deal with him, and I would have to call her dad! Elders should always be respected, and no matter what, a father always wants his daughter's best interest!
So I said, "Mr. Hua, I won't ask you for a penny. Even if Jingjing and I live together, I won't ask you for money. You can rest assured about this!"
Hua Qiming was unmoved and continued, "You will not become my son-in-law. You can be absolutely sure of that. Twenty million! No more!"
I sighed and looked at him with pity. Doesn't this old man understand? No matter how much money you spend, you can't separate Jingjing and me. I felt that it was useless to say more, so I kept silent.
Hua Qiming waited for a while, and when he saw that I didn't show any reaction, he started to get a little angry and said, "Young man! Don't be so greedy! I could have given you nothing, but for the sake of my daughter, I've already made a big concession! You should be content!"
I was also a little angry! Why did this old man think he could buy me off with money? Is being rich a big deal? I used to have great respect for this elder who created a business miracle, but now I am very disappointed. Is this Hua Jingjing's father? How could he not consider the happiness of his daughter? Is money the only thing in his eyes?
I couldn't hide my disappointment and sighed, "Mr. Hua, it seems we can't continue the conversation. Please consider your daughter's happiness. I'll take my leave now!"
I stood up from my chair, bowed to him out of politeness, and turned to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Hua Qiming's stern shout came from behind!
I turned around and looked at him calmly, waiting for what else he had to say. The old man was obviously very angry, and he took a deep breath to suppress his anger. He looked at me coldly and said a few words between his teeth: "You are so cruel! The final offer is 40 million! If you are still not satisfied, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
I have always been a person who is soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. If the old man can talk to me calmly, I will respect him. But if he threatens me and insults me like this, then I can't be polite to him.
I laughed and said, "Mr. Hua really thinks highly of me. He raised the price by several times. Do you want to kill me with money? Now I finally understand why you are so successful in business. Your moves are really extraordinary! But are you mistaken? We are not doing business, but talking about how to make your daughter happy! As a father, don't you feel ashamed?"
Hua Qiming was furious. He slammed the table and shouted, "How dare you!"
His fierce blow knocked over all the teacups on the table. I sneered and ignored him, turned around and walked down the teahouse. As soon as I took a step down the stairs, two strong guys blocked my way. I heard the old man Hua behind me, who was still angry, saying: "Throw him into the Yudai River and wake him up! I don't believe I can't cure you!"
The two guys in front of me started fighting immediately, and they tried to grab my neck as soon as they came up. I don't know how to fight, but how can I let others bully me at this time?
I raised my foot and kicked the guy who was holding me, but unfortunately, there was a huge difference in strength between us. He just stretched out his hand and blocked my kick. Then another guy rushed in front of me, grinning, and punched me in the lower abdomen. I was hit hard and immediately bent . My stomach was churning and beads of sweat dripped down my forehead.
This was not the end, the guy who blocked my kick also stepped forward and kicked me in the waist. I fell out in an instant, knocked over a chair with a "bang", and rolled on the ground in a very embarrassing manner.
Hua Qiming didn't even look at me anymore and strode downstairs. The middle-aged man followed me for two steps, then stopped at the stairs. He frowned and turned back to the two guys and said, "Don't beat this kid to death. I'll throw him into the Yudai River if he's still alive."
The two guys agreed: "Yes! Mr. Hu!"
Mr. Hu looked at me again, as if he felt sorry for my miserable end. He sighed slightly and went downstairs.
I struggled to get up from the ground, enduring the huge pain in my body, gritting my teeth, my eyes red. I had only one thought in my mind: "Damn it! I'm going to fight you!"
I picked up the chair that I had knocked over, and without saying a word, I rushed towards a guy fiercely, swinging the wooden chair in my hand, intending to smash his head and face. The guy showed excitement in his eyes, put on a posture, exhaled and shouted, and chopped at the wooden chair I was swinging.
With a sound of "Kuala", the hard wooden chair was actually broken into pieces by his palm. I felt a lightness in my hand and knew that something bad was going to happen. Sure enough, this guy hit me on the shoulder again. My left shoulder felt numb and one of my arms seemed to no longer be my own.
The other guy was not idle either, and came over and kicked me in the knee. I couldn't control myself, and fell to the ground with my back turned upside down. The two guys grinned and started to beat me up inhumanely...
Finally, they got tired of beating me and let me go. One of the guys kicked me hard on the butt and cursed, "Damn! This brat is so tough! He didn't say a word, so boring!"
I lay on the ground, spitting blood from my mouth. My whole body seemed to be broken, and the pain was piercing my heart. I almost broke my teeth. The huge sense of shame bit my heart like a poisonous snake. I struggled hard and didn't make a sound, but I was going crazy! I have never hated a person as much as I hate Hua Qiming! I only have one belief in my mind: As long as I don't die! As long as I don't die! I will get back ten times the humiliation I suffered today! Just wait! Hua Qiming!
There were footsteps on the stairs again, and Mr. Hu came back. He took one look at me lying on the ground, unable to move, and said coldly, "That's enough. Put him in the car and throw him into the river to wake him up!"
A guy answered, came over, grabbed my collar, and dragged me downstairs like a dead pig, leaving a long trail of blood behind me!
Just after I left the teahouse owned by the Hua family, a guy just opened the back cover of an Audi A6 and was about to lift me up and put me in. At this time, a Mercedes-Benz drove over quickly and stopped beside the Audi with a "bang". Four people in black suits got out of the Mercedes-Benz. The middle-aged man in the lead saw my miserable state, was stunned for a moment, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Go and grab him!"
The other three men in black suits didn't answer and immediately surrounded the two guys. The guy holding me shouted, "Who are you? How dare you meddle in other people's business! Ouch!"
He was caught off guard and was punched in the chest by a man in a black suit. He let go of me in pain. I fell to the ground again and couldn't help spitting out blood. My consciousness began to blur. But I knew the men in black suits who got out of the Mercedes-Benz. They were all Xu Shu's bodyguards. The one in the lead was the leader of the bodyguards, Wang Bingzhang.
The other guy had already started fighting with the man in black suit, but two fists were no match for four hands, and he was soon beaten down by Xu Shu's bodyguards. Wang Bingzhang came over to help me up. He asked, "Hey! Mr. Tang, how are you?"
I gave a bitter smile and could not answer. At this time, Mr. Hu came out of the teahouse, frowned and shouted, "What are you doing?" A man in a black suit was not polite and rushed over to punch him. Mr. Hu stretched out his hand and used the force to hit him, and immediately threw the man in the black suit out.
Then I saw a man in a black suit screaming "Ah!" and flying over the roof of the Audi, falling to the other side of the car. Mr. Hu saw Wang Bingzhang was about to help me up, so he took a step forward and pushed Wang Bingzhang down. But Wang Bingzhang was not so easy to deal with. He supported me with one hand, lowered his shoulder, relieved the push, and used his backhand to hook his five fingers, fiercely grabbing Mr. Hu's elbow.
Mr. Hu said "Eh!" and raised his arm. His left hand lightly slapped out from under his right arm. Under the stimulation of internal energy, Wang Bingzhang's clothes were pulled straight back. Even I, who was standing aside, felt difficulty breathing and was extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing that this guy was really strong, Wang Bingzhang no longer dared to be careless. He had to let me go and used all his strength to block the palm strike.
When I fell to the ground, I heard a "hissing" sound of air rushing, and then "bang" I fell to the ground again. I coughed up blood in pain, and felt dizzy and stars flashing before my eyes. I struggled to get up, but my hands and feet were powerless. I spat out another mouthful of blood, and my eyes went dark, and I knew nothing...
