Shao Zhenggang felt a little awkward, not knowing what to say, and remained silent.
Shao Zhengkang spoke up, in a hindsight-is-20/20 tone, "Xiao Jun, it's not Uncle lecturing you, but why were your hands so quick back then? You smashed it as soon as you could. It's not good to act so impulsively."
"And Big Brother, why didn't you stop him? Two million, with Shao Xu's stubborn personality, even if Second Brother begged, it probably wouldn't have worked. Look at her leaving just like that this time, her father is still here."
The more he spoke, the more it sounded like he was gloating to Shao Zhengchang.
Originally, according to Old Madam, they were to find Shao Xu and resolve the matter amicably, avoiding the lawsuit.
But Shao Zhengkang?
As if fearing no chaos, he kept emphasizing that Shao Xu would pursue the matter to the end! How disheartening!
This was clearly someone who enjoyed watching a fire.
Shao Zhengchang's expression also darkened, and his tone towards the third brother, Shao Zhengkang, became obviously displeased. "Third Brother, what do you mean by that? Do you think it's all our fault and you're blameless?"
As soon as he was implicated, Shao Zhengkang, who had been watching the spectacle with ease, immediately became anxious.
"Big Brother, what do you mean? What does it have to do with me? What did I do wrong? When you smashed that jade bracelet, I wasn't even here yet!"
Shao Zhengchang was no longer polite and pointed at Shao Zhengkang, saying, "If you had arrived at the birthday banquet on time and informed us in advance that Shao Xu was going to give a two-million-yuan jade bracelet, would this matter have escalated to this point today?"
Shao Zhengkang immediately protested, what did this have to do with him!
"How could I have known you would smash the bracelet so mindlessly? Even if I knew about the bracelet in advance, could I foresee the future? Was it my choice to be late?"
Bringing this up, Shao Zhengkang actually had a lot of pent-up anger. "I was actually planning to buy Mom a jade bracelet too. I happened to meet Shao Xu, and because of Shao Xu, I even argued with my girlfriend. We argued intensely after going out, and then we fought, and the police took us in for mediation."
"I'd like to say, was I able to make it in time? Who could have imagined that Shao Xu would be so rich now! Two million, she bought two without even batting an eye, just like that, and bought two!"
The more Shao Zhengkang spoke, the angrier he became, as if he was reliving the humiliation he experienced in the jade shop, being laughed at by the sales staff and Shao Xu, and then his girlfriend giving him the cold shoulder. He was truly furious.
"Let me tell you, I guess Shao Xu isn't short of this money; she just wants to teach Xiao Jun a lesson! You just watch, she's not a good person!"
Shao Zhenggang couldn't listen any further and said coldly, "Third Brother, say that again!"
Although Shao Zhenggang had been living a dejected and enduring life since he was disabled, his daughter was his sore spot. If anyone spoke of his daughter, he would absolutely not be cowardly anymore.
"I... I didn't say anything?"
Shao Zhengkang began to play dumb. Although he didn't like Shao Xu, he knew that Shao Xu had so much money, so he naturally didn't dare to look down on this second brother as easily as before.
His words struck the other members of the Shao family like a bolt from the blue.
That was...
Su Ding wasn't short of money; she even had a lot of it. She casually bought two two-million-yuan jade bracelets.
If that were truly the case, the Shao family might even be able to rely on her to soar rapidly from their current position.
"Second Brother, you personally saw Xiao Xu buy two two-million-yuan jade bracelets?" Shao Qingqing swallowed hard.
"Yes, not only me, but my girlfriend also saw it."
Shao Zhengkang pretended to be calm and said, "However, she probably has a very bad impression of our family, so I think it's a bit difficult to rely on her."
Shao Zhenggang was also in shock.
He thought his daughter had returned from the southern territory because she couldn't make ends meet. Now he realized that his daughter was the one with real backing.
"Since Xiao Xu wants to vent her anger, then Shao Jun will go and apologize to her in person tomorrow."
"And on behalf of our family, invite her to our home for dinner next week."
Old Madam Shao immediately issued an order. Her thoughts now were not just about the two-million-yuan compensation, but also about the other two-million-yuan jade bracelet.
After all, she was her own grandmother. Would her granddaughter refuse her grandmother if she asked for a jade bracelet?
Thinking of possessing such an expensive jade bracelet herself, Old Madam Shao's mood became expectant...
