Chapter 96 Let Money Put an End to It All

The next day, the sun did not come out.

It began to rain in Shencheng, and it rained continuously for several days.

I also nestled at home for several days.

Every morning I got up as usual, and seeing that it was still raining outside, I went to wash up first, and then I made my own breakfast. After eating, I went into the study and began to copy the next few volumes.

I kept copying until I couldn’t lift my hands, and my stomach was screaming with hunger, then I stopped, and then I went to cook a bowl of noodles. Slowly, after eating the noodles without taste, I would take a cold shower again, and then Continue to copy.

After dark, the lights in the city were lit up, and my hands were so painful that I couldn’t lift them anymore, so I put away my pen and sat on the window sill in the living room, massaging my wrists, and stared out in a daze.

Amidst the sound of the pattering rain beating on the window, I was in a daze.

Till he was tired, he climbed into bed and slept.

When the rain stopped, I had eaten all the edible food at home, and I had finished copying the six books of Warring States Policy.

In the morning of that day, like compensation for the continuous rain, the morning glow was extremely bright, shining through the window in the room, and rainbows fell down.

I got up with a grunt.

I washed my hair and took a clean shower, then went downstairs and ate a bowl of Da Pai Noodles at a breakfast shop next to the community.

I walked along the side street, trying to avoid it, but when I realized it, the cafe appeared across the road.

I turned around and walked back. Just two steps away, a man in a suit suddenly appeared in front of me.

Then someone behind me said: "Are you Gu Qing?"

I stood still, looked at the man in the suit in front of me, and then turned around slowly.

Standing behind me was a woman of indeterminate age, a beautiful woman.

She wore a silver-gray coat on the outside, and the coat was opened to reveal a suit of the same color underneath.

Even if I don't know fashion, I can see that her simple outfit is worth a lot of money.

What's more, she was wearing a pink diamond ring the size of a fava bean.

"Take a step to talk, okay?" The woman said softly with a smile on her face.

I looked at her, looked at her gentle and kind, but cold and contemptuous look in her eyes, and nodded slowly.

The woman turned around, led me across the street, and walked into the coffee shop.

It was still early, the coffee shop hadn't opened yet, and there were no customers, not even waiters.

However, except for the freshly fallen leaves in the garden, which were not swept, it was cleaned up.

The man in the suit opened the door, took a rag and wiped the chair closest to the door, and then moved the chair to let the woman sit down.

I glanced at the man in the suit, and sat down opposite the woman.

"I'm Lu Li's mother." As soon as I sat down, the woman opposite said.

I wasn't surprised, I thought for a while and said, "Madam Lu has something to do with me?"

"Miss Gu is a smart person." Madam Lu smiled and said, "Then I'll cut to the chase. I'll offer 100 million. Please sell me the Warring States strategy."

I looked at her indifferently, and said slowly: "I told Lu Li that the book is not for sale, but I have already finished copying the next six volumes, so I can give them to you."

"Miss Gu, do you want to continue looking for opportunities to meet my son?" Mrs. Lu sneered.

"I don't have this idea." My face darkened a little, and I said softly, "I gave you the copy at once, and you paid the money, after that..."

"But it's still in your hands." Mrs. Lu interrupted me.

My face sank again without realizing it, and I stopped talking, and signaled her to finish with my eyes.

"I heard from Huang Li that she has shown you the article published by my son and explained to you the importance of that article." Mrs. Lu resumed the gentle smile that seemed harmless to humans and animals, and said : "That is a work that my son spent two years and countless painstaking efforts on, which can affect the entire history circle."

The corners of my mouth twitched, watching that she didn't speak, and waiting for her to continue.

"The most important quote in that article is the Warring States Policy in your hand." Madam Lu's smile was softer, and she could even say seductively: "Now that article has been published, it has aroused the attention of the entire academic community." There was a sensation in the world, and many people expressed that they wanted to see the Warring States Policy with their own eyes to verify whether what my son said was true."

The voice paused, and Mrs. Lu said: "And a set of manuscripts can't verify this statement, so, Miss Gu, if you really have no other thoughts about my son, don't you want to take this opportunity to do something? , if you want to see the real book, you have to tell me that you are present, to tie up my son, and make friends with those masters by the way, then, please sell me the book."

Her smile is elegant, and her voice is as beautiful as singing.

But every word is like a knife.

The knife stabbed in my heart.

I really want to stand up gracefully and tell her, I don't have any thoughts about your son, and I don't want to see your son again at all. How your son is none of my business!Even if the old lady's book is not for sale, the old lady will not lend it to him again, and no one will lend it to anyone who wants to read it!
But when I wanted to open my mouth, I saw the bookshelf and the back of the chair protruding a little beside the bookshelf.

That was the place where I used to sit at the beginning, but I didn't sit there for the next ten weeks.

I always sat with Lu Li.

No matter what the truth is, but during that time, I was very happy and very happy.

Moreover, Lu Li did teach me a lot.

Most importantly, Lu Li is indeed a genius!

In fact, I know best the effort he put in for that research result.

I know how he writes word by word, row by row, paragraph by paragraph, deliberating, comparing, looking for clues.

I also saw with my own eyes how happy and excited he looked when he decided on an idea of ​​his own.

If it is true what Mrs. Lu said, those professors and experts will question him and deny him just because they can't see the original version of the Warring States Policy...

I closed my eyes slightly, and then said with a slight smile, "Mrs. Lu, you can buy it if you want, 500 million, the same price."

Mrs. Lu's complexion changed, and the gentle and virtuous surface seemed to be broken into several cracks, and she said sharply: "You, you are a lion with a big mouth, I said Miss Gu, you'd better get it clear, you think I'm Who is it? Who is my son?!"

"I don't know." I interrupted her just like her, and with the same smile on my face, I said softly: "I only know that what Ms. Huang said, as long as this article is published by the academic circle Certainly, then Mr. Lu's status will be completely different. To put it bluntly, if there is any auction, as long as Mr. Lu gives a comment, the value of those items will be multiplied several times. At that time, Mr. Lu will You can draw tens of millions casually, right?"

Mrs. Lu stared at me blankly. After a while, the gentleness on her face completely dissipated, and she changed to the same expression as the oriole.

Even his voice was filled with extreme disdain and sarcasm: "A person like you actually misses Xiao Xiao and my son? You really are not even worthy of carrying my son's shoes!"

I smiled, just raised the corners of my eyebrows, and didn't bother to talk to her.

Mrs. Lu was so angry that she clenched her hands into fists, glared at me with extreme anger and coldness, and said coldly, "Okay, just 500 million!"

I stood up and said, "Okay, but I want cash. I will give you half a month to prepare. After half a month, I will come here and hand in the book and the money. Madam Lu, I hope you don't Whatever idea you make, ancient books are very fragile, if you catch fire, your son's hard work will be completely ruined."

I watched Mrs. Lu's face change suddenly again, walked past her, and went straight out the door.

Standing outside the door, I let out a long breath.

So be it, I thought.

Let money put an end to it all.

Anyway, I'm just a layman.
