Chapter 236: Chen Tian appears, 200 yuan per cut, Jia Jia Zhangshi is scared out of her wits!
Naturally, Yu Yu Haitang knew what kind of person her shop assistant was.
Although she wasn't highly educated, she was simple and honest; there was no way she would discriminate against Jia Jia Zhangshi just because she was old and dressed in rags.
Not to mention, this was happening right in front of her own jewelry store, and she was inside; it was even more impossible for her to have caused such a scene.
Seeing the woman wailing on the ground without a scratch, Yu Yu Haitang immediately realized she was being extorted!
"Old lady, why don't you get up first? There are so many people gathered here; causing such a scene isn't a solution, is it?"
The smile on Yu Yu Haitang's face was genuine. Over the years, although she hadn't helped Chen Tian with major business like Qin Qin Huairu, she had managed these jewelry stores in perfect order.
Yu Yu Haitang had certainly seen her fair share of unreasonable old women like this!
"Now you know to be afraid and want to apologize? Just now, when I, an old woman, went in to look at jewelry, why did you knock me down?"
"Don't think that just because I'm dressed in rags, I can't afford jewelry. I don't want to buy anything now!"
"My leg has been broken by you. Tell me, what are you going to do about it? If you don't pay for my medical expenses and compensation today, don't even think about opening for business!"
Jia Jia Zhangshi felt incredibly smug, thinking that since the two people who came out were women and looked like young girls, she had them right where she wanted them.
The crowd also noticed something was wrong; the old woman didn't look like she had a broken leg at all, and the vigor in her shouting was quite suspicious!
"Hey, old lady, if your leg were really broken, how could you have the strength to curse at people like that?"
"I was standing right across the street. Even though I wasn't right next to you to see what the clerk did, it looked like she was just trying to help you inside. How did you suddenly end up on the ground claiming your leg was broken?"
"What else could it be? It's clearly extortion. These old men and women have been doing this on this street quite a bit lately!"
"Anyway, they have plenty of free time, and their children don't care about them. They have nothing to fear; if they don't get money, they just lie down in front of people's shops and won't leave!"
"This is clearly someone copying others, coming here to extort money!"
Seeing that Jia Jia Zhangshi refused to get up even after the store manager arrived and kept demanding money, the crowd realized she wasn't a good person.
Jia Jia Zhangshi's face turned ugly; she hadn't expected to be exposed so quickly!
But since things had already reached this point, she decided to use her old face to see it through to the end. She wouldn't get up without seeing money!
"Stop farting here! My leg is broken, and you'll deal with it. If you don't pay, I'll lie here all day. Let's see who dares to go in, unless you step over my corpse!"
Jia Jia Zhangshi pushed her luck even further, refusing to make any concessions.
At that moment, a person extremely familiar to Jia Jia Zhangshi stepped out of a small car that had just pulled up.
Seeing the luxurious car, the crowd cleared a path; after all, there were fewer than two such luxury cars in the entire city of Beijing.
The person who could ride in such a car must have an extremely prestigious status.
As soon as the person stepped out of the car, the smile on Yu Yu Haitang's face became uncontrollable!
"Chen Tian, why are you here? Didn't you say you wouldn't come for another two days?" Clearly, this was Chen Tian. Yu Yu Haitang was very happy to see him visiting her jewelry store.
"It's nothing. Things over there are almost settled. A new batch of goods just arrived, so I came to see if your stores need to change the types of jewelry you carry!"
Chen Tian nodded indifferently, automatically ignoring Jia Jia Zhangshi, who was still rolling on the ground.
When Jia Jia Zhangshi looked up and saw that face, her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably!
This was Chen Tian, the man she had hated for ten whole years!
If it weren't for Chen Tian, she would never have gone to jail, would never have lost her home, and would never have spent ten years doing hard labor in the countryside!
Yet Chen Tian was still so young, and now he was even riding in such a luxurious car, and the owner of the jewelry store she was extorting was actually connected to him!
"Chen Tian, it's actually you! I never thought that after ten years, I, Jia Jia Zhangshi, would see you in this place again!"
"You are all truly no good. You're in cahoots! You harmed me so miserably ten years ago, and ten years later, even when I'm just buying jewelry, you want to break my leg!"
"Look at what you've done to this old woman! If you don't compensate me today, I'll die right here. I don't want to live anymore anyway!"
As soon as Jia Jia Zhangshi saw Chen Tian, she remembered all the grievances she had suffered over the years; how could she endure it?
After all, Jia Jia Zhangshi had done everything over the past ten years—begging for food in Beijing and living under others' roofs in the countryside.
Recently, she had finally returned to Beijing, but hadn't lived a good life in the courtyard for long before being kicked out by Sha Zhu. Now she couldn't even live in the courtyard!
Now, having been tricked by others, her life wasn't even in her own hands!
But seeing Chen Tian now, the anger in Jia Jia Zhangshi's heart could no longer be contained. She felt that the reason her life had become so miserable was entirely Chen Tian's fault.
She believed that if she still had her house, she would never have suffered so much!
Now, seeing the close relationship between the store manager and Chen Tian, Jia Jia Zhangshi knew this store belonged to him.
Any piece of jewelry here could cover her living expenses for half a year, but to Chen Tian, it was insignificant!
"Jia Jia Zhangshi, it's been ten years. I didn't expect to see you here after all this time!"
"Alright, get up. Your leg should be fine. Don't end up actually breaking it and having nowhere to seek justice!"
"The people behind you who instigated this should be nearby. Go back and give them a message: next time you want to extort money, find out whose store it is. If you dare to bring this to my territory again, don't blame me for not being merciful to these thugs!"
Chen Tian heard Jia Jia Zhangshi's voice and looked over slowly, his eyes truly cold to the extreme.
Chen Tian hadn't expected Jia Jia Zhangshi to be here today; he had just come to ask Yu Yu Haitang if she needed to change any jewelry styles.
Recently, his logistics company had received a large batch of goods from abroad and was starting to distribute them to his various businesses.
The reason Sha Zhu and Yi Yi Zhonghai were able to find work was because Chen Tian's company was expanding its staff!
But at this moment, Jia Jia Zhangshi couldn't hear a word of Chen Tian's advice; she was consumed by her hatred for him!
"Chen Tian, you wish! You harmed me so miserably ten years ago. If you hadn't taken away my family's house, I would never have become so unlucky!"
"It's all because of you! You hypocritically said you wanted to help our family, but you actually wanted to trick us out of my house and Sha Zhu's house!"
"Now my son is dead, and that bitch Qin Qin Huairu has made a fortune relying on you, yet she won't give me a single cent!"
"Let's settle these old and new grudges together today. I don't want to live anymore anyway. You decide what to do. If I don't get a few hundred yuan today, I'm not leaving!"
As Jia Jia Zhangshi spoke, she pulled a rusty little knife from her pocket and held it against her own throat, clearly trying to threaten Chen Tian with her life!
The thugs not far away were very happy to see Jia Jia Zhangshi's attitude; it was clear that Chen Tian's status was not simple!
Someone who could ride in such a luxurious car was clearly a big boss in Beijing. Perhaps the 500 yuan was actually within reach!
They had been petty thieves for years, and 500 yuan was an astronomical figure to them!
"This Jia Jia Zhangshi is finally using her head. Seeing that this guy is a big boss, she actually knows to ask for 500 yuan!"
"If we really get our hands on 500 yuan, we'll be rich! If we split 500 yuan among us, it'll be enough for us to spend for several months!"
"Idiot, this old woman is more useful than you! You waste, watch the situation and make sure we get that 500 yuan. If we can get 500 yuan from this car, I guarantee you'll eat well!"
For a moment, the thugs were incredibly excited, clearly not having considered who Chen Tian really was!
They actually thought Jia Jia Zhangshi asking for 500 yuan was the right thing to do. If they knew Chen Tian's identity, they might be scared into convulsions.
Bang Geng nodded awkwardly. How could he not know who Chen Tian was!
However, he didn't dare to speak. If he told them who Chen Tian was, he would be the one in trouble!
Bang Geng still held a deep fear of Chen Tian; after all, 80% of the reason he had become so unlucky was because of him!
Bang Geng was already thinking about how to escape; after all, for so many years, the grandmother and grandson had never gained any advantage in front of Chen Tian!
