Edward Chen and the Shen family returned to their old house.
Ordinary brick bungalows, with a small courtyard, although not a big mansion, but looked very clean and sweet.
This old house was handed down by Shen family’s ancestors. It had a good location and convenient transportation.
Dong Shen was the eldest son of Shen family. According to the rules of Ancheng City, he inherited the property rights of this ancestral house.
However, Mei Shen and Wei Shen, who were Dong’s brothers and sister, had been claiming their rights over this old property and wanted to take over since. The thing was Mei and Wei never paid a visit to their parents when they were alive, who had been instead taken care of by Dong and Yurong without a single complaint over the years.
The adoptive parents were people who loved life. There were many flowers and plants in the courtyard, and a pomegranate tree was there more than ten years.
Entering the old house, Edward immediately felt like going home, which brought back many happy childhood memories.
In the living room, his adoptive parents and sister sat on the sofa, speechless for a moment. The surprise on their faces didn’t fade away, which increased anxiety and fear.
Only two of Shen family’s relatives who went to the banquet sat in the room now.
Aunt Mei Shen and uncle Wei Shen were younger sister and brother to Dong Shen, who thought they would go to the Lei family’s banquet to make friends with Lei and then may get some benefits one day.
Unexpectedly, Edward beat their dream to pieces. For fear of being retaliated by the Lei family. now they were like mice seeing a cat, wishing to stay away from Shen family as far as possible.
Dong took a puff of cigarette, with panic on his face.
Just now in Lei's house, Edward put the Shen family in the limelight and even said they would become the most powerful family Ancheng City.
Now returning to the Shen’s own house of 100 square meters, with a few people in it, it felt very unreal.
The focus of the adoptive mother Yurong Wu was not the Lei family, but Wu Qi who was sitting next to Edward and looking around.
"Edward, this girl is..."
"Wu Qi, she is my colleague." Edward gave a brief introduction.
"Hello, uncles and aunts." Wu, with the fiery figure, rarely posed a ladylike sitting posture and greeted everyone nicely.
The adoptive parents all had the smile of meeting their daughter-in-law for the first time, which was obviously a misunderstanding.
Edward had no time to explain.
Menghan Shen sat on the opposite site of Wu. She bit her lip and her eyes looked very complicated.
Mei and Wei exchanged glances and cleared their throats.
"Dong, don't blame me for nagging you. Now the Shen family has reached its lowest point. It's all because Edward being reckless and ignorant! He humiliated the Lei family, how do we live in Ancheng in the future!"
Dong was also at a loss what to do.
"If this is the case... Edward is so capable, the Lei family will definitely not dare to bully us anymore."
Mei snorted and glanced at Edward with slanted eyes.
"Hmph, what's the use of just being able to fight? Even if you had been a soldier, you are now retired. After all, people have to eat and earn money!"
"The Lei family had agreed to give me a job, and then they had arranged Wei to be a cleaning supervisor of Lei Group. Now it's all gone! It’s all due to you, the useless adopted son!"
Menghan was listening quietly and suddenly interrupted.
"Auntie! How can you talk like that, if it wasn't for my brother, I would have been forced to marry, and you and uncle would be slaves for Lei family from today. Don’t you know how treated their low-level employees?"
"Women are supposed to be married! Don't fantasize a noble handsome prince who really loves you. Now you are young and beautiful, but when you are over twenty-six, you will be worthless. Don't you understand?"
Edward responded lightly, "Who my sister wants to marry and when she wants to marry is her decision."
Upon hearing this, Mei got agitated.
"How do you talk to your elders! It was all caused by you! Your uncle and I lost a job from Lei!"
"Then what do you want?" Edward had already realized that the other party's purpose was not simple.
Mei put on an aggrieved look.
"What else do I want? You have offended the Lei family and cut off our financial resources. This loss should be borne by your family!"
Dong and Yurong were dumbfounded when they heard these words.
Yurong looked stunned.
"Mei, you did too much! When the Lei family came to force the marriage, you were so active in giving her away. Now that the marriage deal is off, you turn around and ask for money from us? What do you think of Menghan?"
Wei on the side added in a glib voice:
"Sister-in-law, you're being silly. My niece getting married is a big happy event. Isn’t it a good thing that you can get close to the Lei family and their fortune?"
"I already got paid 10,000 yuan in advance for the warehouse job. Now that you have offended the Lei family, what do I do with the money? Are you going to let me return it?"
Mei continued after her brother, "I also took 20,000 yuan worth of clothes from their store in the name of Lei family. Are you going to let me return it too?"
"You...you..." Dong was so angry that his chest rose and fell, and it took him a long time to calm down.
These two thought that Menghan would definitely become the wife of Lei family’s young master. Before the marriage was settled, they went all over and took advantage of Lei family's wealthiness already, and now they were reluctant to spit them out.
No wonder they were so aggressive about pushing Menghan into the fire pit.
Dong was so angry that he put one hand on his chest.
"How can you do this! We are brothers and sisters!"
Mei sneered.
"Brother and sister? Who dare to be your sister now you are in the black name list of Lei family? Let me talk straight here, gave me 500,000 yuan and we refunded the things, then I don't care who Menghan marries again!"
"500,000! Why?"
"This include our mental loss expenses! We were going to work at Lei's in the next year, but now the work has been lost! Do you know how big a blow this is?"
The adoptive parents were shocked, and only then did they recognize the so-called "relatives".
This person was a white-eyed wolf who wanted to share all related wealth and honor, and took advantage of you when even you were in troubles!
Outright blackmail.
Edward waved his hand, motioned his parents not to get angry, turned his head and said to Mei.
"Five thousand yuan, then our two families are cleared, in the future, you can't claim to be our relatives. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being polite."
Wei hurriedly said when he heard that the blackmailing was working.
"Of course, you have offended the Lei family, and we are eager to leave it clean. As long as you are willing to pay, we can also write a letter."
Edward gave a harmless smile.
"A letter? That's not enough."
Mei and Wei glanced at each other, their faces confused.
"What do you want?"
...
Edward directly asked Wu to take out the recording equipment, record on the spot, and sign an agreement.
500,000 yuan in exchange for Mei and Wei's signature confirmation, a permanent declaration of renunciation of relatives with Dong's family.
He also directly gave up the inheritance rights of the Shen family's ancestral home. After all, in Ancheng City, bungalows were not very valuable.
The two people were focusing on the 500,000 yuan.
The agreement specifically stated that if two people talk about the Dong Shen family on any occasion, or wanted to get involved with the Shen family, they will pay one million in compensation if they were discovered once!
Mei and Wei signed happily.
In their view, their brother’s family was now already doomed in Ancheng City because of Edward's reckless behavior.
Returning the Lei family's things, leaving aside the relationship with Menghan, getting 50,000 yuan without offending Lei family, which was simply multi-purpose!
The two of them were secretly relieved, watching Edward like watching a fool.
Edward shook his head secretly.
The eyes of these two people were too short-sighted.
With its own reputation, the ancestral home of the Shen family would surely become the most valuable house in Ancheng City.
At that time, only one floor tile of this room could be bought for 500,000 yuan.
Letting them give up the right to inherit the house was the real purpose of this agreement.
Mei was cheeky and stretched out a big hand: "Give me the money, we will leave immediately."
Edward silently took out a black bank card from his inner pocket and dialed the phone on the back.
"Send 500,000 coins right away."
The adoptive parents and younger sister looked at them with question marks, Mei was also confused.
"What the hell is wrong with you? Which bank will give you 500,000 coins?"
"That's right! If you don't have money, just say it straight, do you want to delay time?" Wei Shen also mocked.
In less than five minutes, suddenly a car brake came from the door.
Several bankers in uniform entered the house.
"Mr. Chen, the 50,000 yuan coins you asked for are here."
Hearing this, he directly ordered them to bring in two large boxes, each weighing at least 200 pounds.
When the lid of the box was opened, a pile of coins were neatly piled up, and the reflection directly brightens the eyes!
Wei Shen swallowed.
"This...is this 500,000?"
A bank employee who looked like a manager turned his face straight, and brightened his work certificate.
The key account manager of the country's international bank.
"This gentleman, Mr. Edward is the life-long VIP of all banks in the country. The black card in the country's No. 1 card in his hand enjoys unlimited overdraft transfer and unconditional transfer of cash within 50 million yuan."
"We are the top ten banks in the world. How can we offend our valued customers for a mere 50,000 coins?"
The room was quiet for a second...
"What did you say?!"
Everyone in the Shen family, including Mei Shen and Wei Shen, exclaimed at the same time.
What the hell was unlimited overdraft?
This was the first time he heard that the bank also provided services to help customers deliver cash, and the limit is 50 million.
Who usually runs around with 500,000 banknotes?
Edward had a calm face and made a gesture of seeing off the guests.
"Take the coins and get out!"
Ordinary brick bungalows, with a small courtyard, although not a big mansion, but looked very clean and sweet.
This old house was handed down by Shen family’s ancestors. It had a good location and convenient transportation.
Dong Shen was the eldest son of Shen family. According to the rules of Ancheng City, he inherited the property rights of this ancestral house.
