Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 876 – Lives That Turn For the Better
The thin bank card pierced Yue Li's eyes and her soft heart. He never dreamed that he would sell himself for money and that the man who wanted to buy him was a boy he had grown up with and liked since childhood.
Yue Li's white teeth bit her lips and she remained silent for half a minute before looking up and speaking in a heavy voice, “300,000 yuan. I'd be your girlfriend if you could give me 300,000 in a week. I'll even marry you if you want me. ”
“Are you crazy?” Shouted Yang Pengchao.
Yue Li smiled. But it was a smile full of sadness, his eyes finally unable to hold back anymore as tears flowed from them. His wife was carried away by his voice, but he tried hard to hold back his emotions and said, “I'm not crazy. But I like money. I love the thrill and satisfaction that money gives me. As I said, 300,000 yuan; give Me the money and You can do anything for Me. But if you do not have it, stay away from Me and never see Me again. ”
“I..”
Yang Pengchao's heart was also turbulent. She also fell in love with Yue Li, but she always felt inferior because of her family's bad situation. Regardless of how he set foot in so many things in this county town, his family matters were like a chain to him, making him feel depressed.
After graduating from high school, he gave up continuing to study and went to Zheng City alone, suffering hardships and pain, doing all despicable things and evil. Everything for one purpose — to make money and wait for Yue Lin in this city. It was because he said that he would take the college exam and enroll at Zheng City College and that he would need it to have the ability as well as the money to protect it as long as he was there.
However, that was a total of 300,000 yuan!
Right now, even if he tried his hardest to raise money together, he could only earn at most 100,000 yuan, still less than half of 300,000 yuan.
There was a hint of disdain in Yue Li's eyes. He did not want to see Yang Pengchao in such a state, but he had to do so because he needed money to save lives. It was the life of his mother who had lived thick and thin with him.
“Hehehe..”.
With a gloomy laugh, Yue Li refrained from seeing Yang Pengchao anymore. He walked past and walked into the distance.
Several times, Yang Pengchao opened his mouth and wanted to say something. But never once could he spit it out. He had no money that was like a knife stabbing and stuck in his heart. However, she could guess something, like why Yue Li so wanted to earn 300,000 yuan.
“Mengzi, I'm back in town after this smoke. Keep an eye on Yue Li for me for the next seven days. Contact me immediately if anyone dares to bully him. ”
“Understanding.” Mengzi shook her head.
The duo returned to the shabby stall and sat outside on the camp bench. They exhaled smoke after smoke while Yang Pengchao picked up the newspaper and forced himself to stir it several times.
“It's really unfortunate ...”
Mengzi seemed to think of something, but she smiled bitterly while shaking her head.
To distract himself from his annoying thoughts, Yang Pengchao asked, “What is unfortunate?”
“We are very unfortunate to be poor, brother. Unfortunately ... let alone to become rich, we can directly hit it if we have a precious heirloom passed down in our family. Brother Pengchao, tell me about it, why didn't our ancestors leave behind heirlooms like jade carved onto us, their descendants? ”
“Omong empty what do you put out?” Yang Penghcao frowned. “You're just rambling; I'm not following. ”
Mengzi rolled her eyes and grabbed the newspaper in Yang Pengchao's hands. He put the title on the front page in front of him and said, “You want to know what I'm saying? Look and read it yourself. ”
Yang Pengchao glanced at him and his disciples suddenly shrank after a few seconds. He was very happy as he galloped towards the direction where Yue Li went without saying anything to Mengzi.
“YUE LI!”
A few minutes later, he met Yue Li.
Yue Li was still pale. He looked at her in front and said, “What else do you want to tell me?”
“You just need to answer the question for Me in good faith,” Yang Peng said seriously. “If you answer it and I still can't give you 300,000 Yuan, I'm giving you My words that I'll never bother you forever.”
“Do not ask,” Yue Lie replied after taking a deep breath.
“Why are you rushing to get 300,000 yuan?” Ask Yang Pengchao.
“I want to take my mother to the doctor,” Yue Li replied.
“This is really the reason!”
Yang Peng also thought that that was the reason just now. Now that she heard his reply, she made Yue Lie in excitement and said tremblingly, “I know that you are not a woman who loves arrogance. Come with me! Let's go to Shanghai to the assessment convention held by Grand Fortune Jewelry. I promise the money I can give you in a week is over 300,000 yuan. I can give you more than that — of either three, thirty, or even three hundred million yuan. ”
“You are crazy,” shouted Yue Li while pushing her aside.
Yang Pengchao moved the newspaper in front of him and said in a deep voice, “I don't know if you've seen the content in this newspaper. But I can clearly tell you that I have a jade carving mentioned in it. This is a jade monkey, one of the carvings of the Chinese zodiac. ”
Yue Li's eyes stared very wide as she picked up and read the newspaper doubtfully. He then looked at Yang Pengchao and asked in a quivering voice, “A-what ... You really have a jade monkey?”
Yue Li wriggled and only after a while did she finally put out a sentence, “Then I will go with you.”

Somewhere in the Northeast Region, the black market.
Chen Jianshe had been standing at the door of the old man's house for four hours. In the middle of the day, it was scorching hot, despite having a strong physique, he still felt uncomfortable being exposed to the sunlight.
“Just scram! Get away from here. Do you want my ox jade? Keep fucking! ”The curse of an old man comes from within the page.
Chen Jianshe pleaded, “I really have no choice anymore, Father! Little Lin wants to marry his future wife, while we also need to renovate your house and yard. Yaya still has to learn and he also needs money for it. Do you really have the heart to see your grandson remain a bachelor his whole life? Or do you have the heart to see your grandson drop out of school and stay at home? Dad, even if you want to keep that jade ox, you can't even eat and drink. Better sell it to Great Fortune Jewelry. ”
There was no sound for a long time from the inside of the pavilion.
Finally, the door opened and a white-haired old man threw a box wrapped in yellow cloth while angrily cursing and yelling at Chen Jianshe, And don't wander in front of me again later. A loser who leaves the family in ruin with only this old thing left. I never expected that I would have to lose it all my life. I have truly committed a sin! ”
Chen Jianshe held the thing and kowtowed in front of the old man. After the heavy kowtow several times, he got up and ran towards the distance.

Beijing.
Near the Horse Bridge outside Sixth Ring Road was a residential building. Mo Xiaohan fiddled with the chicken jade in her hand while a doubtful expression was clearly visible on her delicate face.
He is not short of money. As a senior white collar worker from a foreign company in Beijing, he has a very decent income and his family situation is also very good. They are quite capable and have no problem living day by day.
However, the highest price of 100 million USD still shocked him. He never thought that he would happen on such an opportunity to acquire an astronomical fortune of 100 million USD in his life. He never expected that a rooster jade, an heirloom left by his mother after he died, was so precious.
Ring, ring, ring…
The sound of his ringtone interrupted his hesitant thoughts.
When he grabbed the phone and saw the name on the screen, he suddenly frowned. Only ten seconds later press the button to answer and say, “Chairman Li, You ..”
“Forget it you and yourself. Why are you absent today for no reason and when are you going to give Me the planning book I want? It's absurd and it doesn't make sense. Do you really want to fight your boss? ”A angry voice of a middle-aged man sounded from the phone.
Mo Xiaohan quickly replied in an obedient tone, “Chairman Li, I really have something urgent to do today. Besides, I've written half of the planning books. Can you give me two more days? ”
“Omong empty! I've given you almost a week, and you're telling me that it's only half? Mo Xiaohan, just do it if you are competent, but come out if you are not. I'm giving you half an hour of time. If you don't appear here in a short time, I'll tell you how many eyes Lord Ma has! “Raungan rampage coming from phone again.
Ma Xiaohan's expression changed. Anger came out of his chest and he yelled back, “Well and come out, huh? Your woman won't wait for that. You've already sent your fucking subordinates to throw my stuff out of the office! And damn it I won't go to the company to see how many eyes you have! ”
With that said, he hung up the phone and gasped for breath and thus came to a conclusion – he will go to Shanghai.

Fukang Province.
Inside a European-style villa, Zhan Moyuan read a financial report with a gloomy frown that left some of his hair torn off. His company's business is worse than it was at the start of the economic crisis a few years ago, and now the capital turnover situation is even worse.
‘Money! If I can get a chance at a windfall from the sky, this will be fine. ”
Zhang Moyuan picked up the last cigarette in his box, rubbed his temple, and took out his mobile phone and opened the WeChat group. He had many old friends, many of whom were wealthy businessmen. He considered his options for a long time, but he did not know from whom he had to borrow money.
“Friends are everywhere when you are in a normal situation, but in times of danger and difficulty, only then do we realize that they are just brothers in a debauchery.”
Zhang Moyuan shook his head with a helpless expression. Just as he was about to throw his handset at the table, a headline suddenly caught his eye. More precisely, it was information about the pattern of the two jade carvings.
“Dragon and tiger jade?”
Zhang Moyuan's eyes widened. He carefully watched the news for a while before he turned his gaze to the text above. When he finished reading the above content, the wrinkles on his face completely disappeared and were replaced by ecstasy.
“100 million USD? !!”
He rushed out and ran to his study before picking up a box from a corner and carefully opening it. What appeared before him was a jade carving that was truly like a human – jade rabbit.
