Chapter 141: For Example, Gold

Su Li retracted the smile on her face and said, “I don’t remember when we met.

Zeng Qing said, “Madam Su could have forgotten about saving me, but I wouldn’t dare to. If Madam Su hadn’t saved me that day, I would definitely have suffered a lot!”

Su Li raised her eyebrows and said, “I don’t leave my name when I do good deeds. I wonder why you specially came here? Don’t tell me you want to repay your kindness? But looking at how empty your hands are, you don’t look like you’re repaying your kindness.”

The smile on Zeng Qing’s face froze. Although that was the truth, shouldn’t she be a little more tactful?

However, he had been negligent this time. He had only wanted the token and had completely forgotten to prepare a gift. The butler did not even remind him. Zeng Qing glared at the old butler beside him.

The old butler looked down and down, looking like an old fool.

He did it on purpose. After so many fake incidents, he could tell how big the appetites of these unruly people were. Although the other party was the master’s savior, who knew if the other party would ask for an exorbitant price? He would just give her the remuneration that she deserved. There was no need to waste anything else.

Zeng Qing adjusted his expression and said to Su Li with a smile, “Madam Su, we’re indeed here to thank you. Because we went out in a hurry, we forgot to prepare a gift. I’ll definitely make it up to you next time.”

Su Li shook her head and refused. “It was just a casual remark. You don’t have to take it seriously. I didn’t want your repayment when I saved you. If there’s nothing else, please leave!”

She didn’t care about their things, so he could go back to where he came from and stop being an eyesore here.

Su Li ordered him to leave. Zeng Qing acted as if he did not understand and continued, “Madam Su, do I have something with you? Please return it to me.

I’ll leave immediately after getting it.”

Su Li was stunned when she heard Zeng Qing’s words. What was it?

She didn’t seem to have taken his things, right?

She glanced at Riceball from the corner of her eye and remembered that she had given Riceball a small bronze plate from Zeng Qing last time.

That’s why they’re here today, isn’t it?

Su Li played dumb and said, “Oh? What is it? I don’t remember you leaving anything with me.”

Riceball liked that thing very much. If it wasn’t of great use, he might as well give it to Riceball.

From the looks of it, the possibility of him giving it to Riceball was not high. Since he could personally come to ask for it, it meant that it should be very important to Zeng Qing.

Zeng Qing coughed and pointed at Riceball’s neck. “The thing on the dog’s neck is very familiar. I took a closer look just now. That’s what I lost. Please help me take it off.

If the Ling family knew that such an important thing had been taken by Su Li and put on a dog, who knew how they would feel?

When Riceball heard that it wanted the thing on its neck, it immediately refused. It bared its teeth at Zeng Qing.

He Qingmu touched Riceball’s head and motioned for it to calm down. With his mother here, she would handle these things.

Facing Riceball’s warning, Zeng Qing chose to ignore it. Its owner was still here. It couldn’t rush out and bite him, right?

Su Li looked at Zeng Qing and said with a smile, “I naturally needed some remuneration for saving you. At that time, you were penniless, but that lousy thing caught Riceball’s eye, so I used that small bronze plate as an ornament.”

Zeng Qing explained, “This token is very important to me, so can you return it to me, Madam Su? I’m willing to replace it with something else.”

Forget about the other things. He really could not lose that token. Otherwise, how could he explain it to the Ling family?

Su Li looked embarrassed. “You saw it too. My dog likes that thing very much.

It will be very sad if I give it to you!”

So you want to take it away just like that? No way!

She had never done business at a loss, especially for a rich person like him. If she did not scrape something off him, she would be letting him down.

Zeng Qing was speechless. How could a dog be sad?

He looked down at Riceball, who was grimacing. Uh, he couldn’t tell it was sad, but it was true that he was fierce!

“Woof woof woof—” Riceball barked a few times at Zeng Qing to express its dissatisfaction.

This person was really too evil. He wanted the thing on its neck.

Zeng Qing said, “Madam Su, I’m very grateful that you saved me. That thing is not important to all of you, but to me, it’s more important than my life. So can you make an exception? I can exchange it for something else!”

Before coming here, Zeng Qing had already made two plans. He would use civility before resorting to force. If civility didn’t work, he could only use force.

Su Li did not want to take the item for herself, but it was impossible for him to take it back so easily.

She said, “What should we exchange for? Gold? My dog likes shiny things. If we give him a gold necklace, he might agree.”

Zeng Qing was speechless.

She was the one who wanted the gold. Couldn’t she just say it directly?

“Alright!” Zeng Qing finally nodded.

Money was just a worldly possession. If he could use it to exchange for what he wanted, why not?

Zeng Qing said to the old butler beside him, “Go get someone to prepare a gold chain and bring a hundred taels of silver over. Prepare some gifts to thank

Madam Su for saving my life.”

The old butler acknowledged them one by one.

Su Ze opened his mouth in surprise. It was fine if it was just a gold chain, but 100 taels of silver too?

Su Li extended two fingers and added, “A gold chain and 200 taels of silver.”

Su Ze couldn’t help but swallow when he heard her words. 100 taels was enough. Would the other party agree to 200 taels?

Just as Su Ze thought that Zeng Qing would reject him, he saw Zeng Qing nod.

Actually, whether it was 100 taels or 200 taels, it was the same to him.

Zeng Qing said to the old butler, “Do as I say and come back immediately. We’ll wait for you here.”

The old butler replied, “Yes.”

After the old butler left, Zeng Qing kept staring at Riceball’s neck. Riceball was so frightened that it hid behind Su Li.

Su Li looked at Zeng Qing and said unhappily, “You scared my dog!”

Zeng Qing put his fist to his mouth to avoid embarrassment. “Madam Su, can you give it to me now?”

Su Li shook her head and refused. “We’ll hand over the money and the goods at the same time. When I get what I want, I’ll naturally give you what you want.

What if you suddenly go back on your word?”

Zeng Qing was speechless. Was he that kind of person?

Seeing that Riceball was still standing at the side in a daze, Su Ze waved at it.

“Riceball, come to Uncle. If you stand there, be careful or you might be kidnapped.”

Zeng Qing rolled his eyes when he heard this. Were they that kind of people?

If they wanted to kidnap this dog, they would have taken action long ago.. Why would they come to their door?!
