After all, one was a million and the other was two hundred million, the difference between the two was a world of difference!
In an instant, the entire main hall and the courtyard outside were in an uproar as if a pot had exploded.
At this moment, Qi Huachang, Qi Tianzong and Qi Sheng were all stunned, unable to react from this shock for half a day.
At this moment, Mr. Wen said without emotion, “I really didn’t expect that your Qi family had such a deep heritage, no wonder Director Qi was so highly appreciated by Lord Zhao, it’s really impressive!”
When he heard Mr. Wen’s emotion, Qi Tianzong’s face was a bit ugly, because if Mr. Wen really said that, then the reason why he had achieved what he had now was all related to this Li Nan, this was simply a humiliation to him!
He then remembered to turn his head to look at Li Nan in the courtyard outside.
Not only Qi Huachang, but also the entire main hall, the entire courtyard, all the Qi family’s eyes were looking at Li Nan.
For a while, Li Nan, who was sitting in the corner in the courtyard, became the focus of the scene.
“Li …… Li Nan, this jade Buddha, what is it all about?” Qi Huachang asked with a face full of astonishment.
Not only Qi Huachang, but everyone present, wanted to know this question.
“It’s just a birthday gift, as long as Grandpa likes it.” Li Nan said lightly.
“That’s not what I’m asking you, I’m asking you how you got such an expensive jade Buddha!” Qi Huachang’s voice was already taking on a questioning tone.
“Oh, a friend gave it to me.” Li Nan said truthfully.
To be honest, Li Nan was also a little surprised at the value of this jade Buddha.
When Lu Jianghai had given this jade Buddha to Li Nan, he only said that it was just a small token of appreciation from his brother Lu Jiangshan, and did not say how much it was worth, but Li Nan did not expect that such an ordinary jade Buddha could be worth so much money.
“A gift from a friend?” Qi Sheng couldn’t help but give a cold snort. “You really don’t even know how to lie!”
“Look at yourself, with your poor look, do you look like someone who can have rich friends? Not to mention that people casually gave you something worth two hundred million dollars!” Qi Sheng said with a cold hum.
When this remark was made, the surrounding crowd was similarly filled with voices of doubt.
“Li Nan, don’t tell me the truth yet!” Qi Huachang also questioned directly with a cold face.
Seeing this look on Qi Huachang’s face, Li Nan could not help but frown again.
He didn’t expect that Qi Huachang had decided that he was lying without even investigating, and he even questioned himself in front of so many people, this was simply not giving any face to Li Nan!
Lai Nan didn’t expect that he would invite unwarranted accusations from the other party after he had kindly sent over a birthday gift.
For a moment, Li Nan’s heart was disappointed to the extreme with this grandfather of his, and with the entire Qi family.
“I have told the truth, if grandfather does not believe me, there is nothing I can do!” Li Nan said in a flat voice.
“You ……” Qi Huachang was infuriated by Li Nan’s words, and only felt that the other party was simply being perfunctory.
“Dad, Li Nan is an upright child, since he said that this is a gift from a friend, then it must be true!” At this point, Qi Xuemei spoke up for her son.
Although the fact that her son had offered something worth two hundred million dollars had really shocked Qi Xuemei and Li Kangning, but after all, Li Nan was their son, so they naturally believed in him.
“That’s right, that’s right, what Li Nan said must be true, because Li Nan, he’s still doing very well over in Shanghai recently!” Qi Xiumi also took the opportunity to speak for Li Nan.
But Qi Sheng snorted lightly at the side and said with a sneer, “With his kind of ability, even if he’s doing well, how much better can he be? I think, this jade Buddha is of unknown origin, maybe he used some unseemly means to get it!”
Qi Sheng’s words simply hit the nail on the head, directly bringing the matter to the most serious point.
And Li Nan’s face, at this moment, was completely cold!
He could tolerate other people’s contempt, but he could not tolerate anyone’s smearing and humiliation!
And now, Qi Sheng had completely touched his bottom line!
“I, Li Nan, have always acted in an upright manner. I said that this jade Buddha was a gift from a friend, and if you don’t believe me, there is nothing I can do. As for whose tactics are unseen, you should know better than I do!” Li Nan looked at Qi Sheng and said in an icy voice.
“What?!” Qi Sheng was furious, he did not expect that Li Nan, who had always been weak before, would dare to speak to him like this.
“What do you mean?!” Qi Sheng shouted coldly.
Li Nan snorted lightly, “You are just staff members within the system. I do not know when the salary level within the Chinese system has reached such a level that you can afford to buy a million dollars worth of calligraphy and paintings at your leisure?”
Qi Sheng and the others were so sharp with Li Nan, then naturally Li Nan would not show them any mercy either.
Li Nan’s words were lightly spoken, but they immediately led to an uproar from the crowd.
The crowd naturally knew very well that with Qi Tianzong’s and Qi Sheng’s salary levels, it was naturally impossible for them to afford such expensive things, so the answer was obvious.
Qi Sheng was so choked up that he could not speak.
Qi Tianzong, on the other hand, also had a grim face to the extreme.
“Do you mean to say that all the money Qi Sheng and I had came from corruption?” Qi Tianzong’s voice was low, and his entire body was emitting an aggressive aura.
Even the unrelated people around him were already shocked by this powerful aura on Qi Tianzhong’s body, only Li Nan, however, still had no ripples on his face.
“Perhaps, Great Uncle, you can give a more reasonable explanation?” Li Nan said indifferently.
“You ……” Qi Tianzhong was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
“Don’t know the rules, how dare you talk to your elders like that!” Qi Huachang was outright furious.
“Xuemei, how did you teach your son!” Qi Huachang shouted angrily directly at Qi Xuemei.
Qi Xuemei lowered her head and did not speak. Because at this time, she didn’t know who was good to help.
Qi Tianzhong’s face was gloomy to the extreme at this moment, his eyes glowing with a fierce light, the aura of a superior being on display.
“I am the first steward under Zhao Zishi in Shanghai. I am willing to talk to you only because you are a member of my Qi family, not to mention me. Do you think that if you were an ordinary person, I, Qi Tianzhong or Qi Sheng, would bother to pay attention to you?” Qi Tianzong said with a cold snort and an expression on his face that was filled with a look of disdain.
It was obvious that Qi Tianzong did not even put this young nephew of his in his eyes.
When the surrounding crowd heard these words, they all laughed coldly as well.
They all felt that Qi Tianzhong’s words were not wrong at all, the gap between Li Nan and Qi Tianzhong and Qi Sheng was too big.
After hearing Qi Tianzong’s words, Li Nan felt ridiculous.
Li Nan only felt that this brother-in-law of his was really good at changing the subject, obviously just now he was still talking about the calligraphy and paintings, but now he could directly relate to their respective identities, trying to use his identity to pressure himself.
Only, where does Qi Tianzong know that the so-called Zhao Zishi’s seat under his mouth, his so-called arrogant capital, is simply something worthless in front of Li Nan.
And his deliberately posed aura of a superior person, it was fine to deter those other ordinary people, but in his case, Li Nan, it was nothing but a joke.
“So, do you think you have the qualifications to interfere in how Qi Sheng and I handle things?” Qi Tianzong finally asked in a cold voice.
“Li Nan, why don’t you hurry up and apologise to your great uncle and Qi Sheng!” Qi Huachang shouted in a cold voice.
In Qi Huachang’s case, Qi Tianzong was the successor he had personally groomed, while Qi Sheng, on the other hand, was his favourite biological grandson.
In his heart, whether it was Qi Tianzong or Qi Sheng, both carried far more weight than that of Li Nan.
Therefore, in front of everyone, Qi Huachang absolutely had to save Qi Tianzong’s and Qi Sheng’s face, because it was not only Qi Tianzong’s and Qi Sheng’s face that had been saved, but also his own face.
“Apologize?” Li Nan’s face was clear and cold, “Yes. But please tell me which of the words I just said were wrong, so that I can make my apology clear?”
This time, Li Nan was really angry, and his words were a bit ungracious.
“You ……” Qi Huachang was choked up.
“Against! Against! Xue Mei, is this the good son you and Li Kangning have taught!” Qi Huachang was so angry that his body was trembling.
Qi Huachang then looked at Li Nan again and shouted angrily, “You get out of here now, from today onwards, our Qi family ……”
With these words, Qi Huachang was clearly about to cut off relations with Li Nan, except that before he could finish these words, a voice came from outside.
“A guest has arrived! Shanghai, Lu Chonghao, has come to celebrate his birthday!”
At these words, the atmosphere that had been incredibly tense just a moment ago was instantly suspended.
Instead, the crowd all looked at each other, their hearts wondering, who was this Lu Chonghao?
“Lu Chonghao? Why does this name sound so familiar?” Second uncle Qi Kangde had a puzzled look on his face.
“Oh my, Lu Chonghao? Could it be that Lu Chonghao, the chairman of the Lu Group and the richest man in Shanghai?!” Third uncle Qi Wenle suddenly thought of something and exclaimed.
“What? The Lu Group? The richest man in Shanghai and the sea?!” The crowd was also in awe.
After all, such a name was just a little too big.
“I guess it should be that Chief Lu is correct. Only that there doesn’t seem to be any connection between our Qi family and that Lu’s richest man, right, so why would he come all the way here to pay his respects to father?” Second uncle said with some confusion.
