Chapter 581: Is This Your Seed?

~7 min read 1,387 words

"The one behind."

Duyanlong had already finished at the window opposite; the young man handed over his own, his investment amount being the smallest, yet it had gone straight from a little over a hundred Hong Kong dollars to several thousand.

This money...

It seemed to come too quickly, making him feel somewhat unreal.

"Little brother, don't get addicted to this feeling; if you get addicted, you aren't far from jumping off a building." Zhang Pangzi reminded him indifferently.

He had been at the end of his rope, and the reason he was still alive was because of his mindset.

He had suffered through his shop being smashed, suffered through being hunted, and changed his sleeping place every day.

He had faced many things, things these young people had never even heard of.

Naturally, he also knew this feeling of money coming in fast; whoever got addicted to it was not far from death.

What is hard to control is not the stock market, but one's own heart.

"Thank you, Brother Zhang." The young man raised his head, knowing that Brother Zhang meant well with his reminder; otherwise, what happened to him had nothing to do with the other man, and the other man didn't need to worry about it.

It was because of the Madam; they were all people who were to follow the Madam.

"Remember, gain and loss, guard your foundation well." Zhang Pangzi patted his chest.

Duyanlong walked over, heard the two men's words, and nodded in agreement.

However, he was a man of few words by nature, and even less likely to gossip.

"Wait until the Exchange closes." Duyanlong and Zhang Pangzi exchanged a look; they both knew what needed to be done.

Zhang Pangzi nodded, and the young man followed silently behind them.

In a corner of the room, those old men were so bitter.

"How did you guys manage to hold on? If I had just held on a bit longer, I could have gone to book a Small Hall tomorrow."

"Duyanlong, Zhang Pangzi, did the Madam say something to you two?"

"Exactly, exactly, when we cleared our positions, why didn't you clear yours?"

One sentence after another, one guess after another, kept pelting the three of them.

What made these old men particularly unconvinced was that there was actually a new little chick who had only invested a little over a hundred and earned several thousand directly.

That was several thousand; in this Hong Kong City, one wouldn't have to worry about food or drink for half a year.

"You didn't believe the Madam, and now you're blaming others?" Zhang Pangzi snorted coldly.

He wouldn't indulge this bunch; although these people were almost all desperate scoundrels, they were also the type to bully the weak and fear the strong.

If you showed weakness to them, they would bully you relentlessly in the future.

The barefoot are not afraid of those wearing shoes.

Who isn't a barefoot person here?

"At that time, who dared to believe it?" A familiar person sighed.

He was not among those who had been making bitter remarks earlier.

The few of them, the old men, would usually analyze things or chat together.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, the result he calculated was not good, so he cleared his position directly; with that waiting time, it would be better to invest in some other stocks to recover his capital quickly.

But who could have imagined that this stock would take off and soar later on?

Is this something a human can see? Is this predictive ability really something human power can achieve?

Li Family.

"Say that again." The old master sat at the head of the table and threw the stock market data charts in front of every descendant.

Li Yue had just been saying that this Madam was not someone with great ability, and she was stunned by the stock market charts suddenly thrown down.

Although the old master had a bad temper, he had never beaten or scolded them, these children; even though... her mother was a Xiaosan, an outside mistress, and the Li Family did not acknowledge her mother, they still acknowledged her as a granddaughter.

"I... I just... had someone go find the Madam, but the Madam refused." Li Yue's voice trembled slightly; she was just a nobody, why was Grandfather in such a big rage?

A mere nobody, wasn't it a simple matter for their Li Family to crush someone to death?

"And then?" The old master's gaze was gloomy, and he coughed a few times occasionally, looking at Li Yue with an expression some people could not understand.

A child not raised by oneself is just different; she had no vision at all.

Dark horse stocks are common, but a victorious general is not common.

How could she, an illegitimate daughter, dare to provoke such a person?

Had the Li Family given her too much face?

"And then? I..." Li Yue realized something was wrong; many people in the Main Hall had expressions full of hidden meaning, especially the Madam, whose gaze toward her was full of mockery.

When her mother was settled outside by her father, the Madam didn't even have any emotional fluctuation, but now...

Where had the problem appeared?

"Speak!" The one who spoke was not someone else, but her own biological father.

He usually treated her mother gently and doted on her even more; as long as it was something she wanted, her father would find a way to get it for her.

Now her father was actually losing his temper at her?

"I just had some thugs mess up her brake discs." Li Yue's eyes were a bit red; for so many years, she had never been treated like this.

And why did her father have the right to lose his temper at her?

What had she done wrong?

"I did this all for the Li Family; she is just a small, nameless person, I had already given her face by inviting her to my Small Hall."

"She was the one who didn't know what was good for her."

"Is the face of my Li Family something that a lowly woman like her can trample on?"

The more Li Yue said, the more she believed she had done the right thing, and she also felt a great deal of grievance.

The old man looked at his eldest son with a face full of disappointment, "Is this your seed?"

A single sentence had already decided something.

The others watched as if it were a joke; only Li Yue's father was flushed red, holding his breath, wondering how he, who was merely a bit greedy for beauty, could have sired such a thing.

Was she smashing her own rice bowl?

She was trying to overturn the entire pot.

"Grandfather, don't be angry; I will have someone quickly investigate the First Madam's situation."

"Afterwards, I will take the Li Family's sincerity to speak with the First Madam and try my best to calm her anger."

The person speaking was Li Yue's half-brother, and also the eldest son of the First Madam.

"Good, Li Kun, this matter is left to you." Seeing his sensible eldest grandson, the anger the old man had gathered finally subsided a little.

"Rest assured, Grandfather, you must take care of your health; I just had the small kitchen stew some ginseng chicken soup, please drink a little."

"If not for your own sake, think of us juniors; we still need your lash and guidance, we cannot do without you."

Li Kun supported the old man, his mouth opening and closing, and the old man's complexion finally improved quite a bit.

Throughout the entire process, the First Madam did not say a word.

What did it matter if a man strayed? No matter how he strayed, the one who would have the final say in this Li Family would always be her son.

She had always been rational; otherwise, knowing his reputation as a playboy, she still would not have followed her family's wishes to marry into the Li Family and sit firmly in the position of First Madam for so many years.

She did not lack for means; she simply saw things clearly.

Moreover, those idiots outside were not worth her dirtying her own hands.
