Chapter 239: 239 You Are My Great Aunt (First Update)

Dong Wei looked at the workers, and without a second thought, kneeled before Su Xiaofeng. "Xiaofeng, Uncle just lost his head for a moment, which led me to deliberately target you. Uncle knows you’re a good child, and I’m sure you won’t blame me. So, Uncle will kowtow to you, apologize to you. Forgive Uncle this time, and I will never dare to do it again, okay?"

Dong Wei understood that someone must have been supporting Su Xiaofeng from behind. If it weren’t for the support behind her, the bank personnel would definitely not have come this quickly.

So this time, he admitted defeat.

As long as he could obtain Su Xiaofeng’s forgiveness, his assets wouldn’t be frozen, and he would still be the same old Dong from Xijiang County, the one known for his lavish spending.

Lin Jing watched Dong Wei kneeling on the ground, and something inside her heart collapsed thunderously.

Everything that had happened today had overturned all her understanding.

It turned out that people without a background might also have powerful figures supporting them from behind.

What was so special about this Su Xiaofeng, and who was supporting her from behind?

She intervened with a commercial center; that was definitely not the work of an ordinary wealthy person.

Could it be the work of that doctor by Su Xiaofeng’s side? Speaking of which, the origins of this doctor were indeed a bit mysterious. Could it really be him?

"Mr. Dong, I’m sorry, I’m not generous enough to forgive someone who just tried to ruin my reputation," Su Xiaofeng said with a smirk. "Weren’t you the one who kept calling me a thief? Now you’re not saying that anymore?"

Just a moment ago, he had been so imposing, determined to have her sent to the police station, demanding to search her.

What is he doing now?

Now wasn’t like before. If Dong Wei had any capital to act arrogantly just now, now he dare not act rashly.

"Xiaofeng, Uncle was wrong. Uncle shouldn’t have blamed you for Haozi’s troubles. Speaking of which, it’s our failure to educate him properly that has hurt Haozi. Xiaofeng, Uncle indeed went a bit too far just now, wanting to make a fool of you here, I was wrong, Uncle really was wrong, you are not a thief, it was Uncle who framed you. Uncle is too despicable," Dong Wei said as he slapped himself hard, the sound ringing out clearly.

The people around watched Dong Wei kneeling on the ground, then hitting himself, finding it quite disgusting, genuinely disgusting. They thought if he had known this would happen, why did he need to put on airs just now? Now look at him, groveling here like a wretch.

Su Xiaofeng looked at him, "What Uncle Dong means to say is, you’re willing to sell me the shares you own in this shopping mall for one dollar?"

Considering Dong Wei’s current situation, selling his shares seemed to be the only way out. If he didn’t sell the shares, the bank would proceed to audit and freeze the money under his name, which was definitely untenable for Dong Wei.

The mall’s money wasn’t all he had; most of his fortune was earned from privately owned mines earlier on. If selling the mall’s shares could preserve his other money, he would definitely sell the shares without hesitation.

"Xiaofeng, I had a good relationship with your mom, you also call me uncle, no, I’m not your uncle, you’re my noble lady. Noble lady, let’s not talk about selling or not selling, I will present my shares to you as a gift, how about that?" A dollar, what good is that? Better to just give them away, it sounds nicer when passed around.

If he took Su Xiaofeng’s one dollar, people would say when they spoke of Dong Wei, "That’s the fool who sold his family shares for a dollar."

If he gave it to Xiaofeng, the talk would undoubtedly be different. People would definitely say, "Old Dong is so generous, so wealthy, even willing to casually gift something as valuable as shopping mall shares."

"If you want to give it, I can’t accept," Xiaofeng wasn’t a fool, of course, she understood the implications, "If you really want to sell it to me, sign now. If you don’t want to sell, I won’t accept your gift."

"Isn’t my giving it to you the same as selling it to you? Why won’t you agree?" The end result isn’t it all the same, with them ending up in her hands?

He had already lowered himself so much, what could she possibly be unsure about?

"Uncle Dong, we have no ties of kinship, why should I accept your gift? There’s a saying, ’undeserved wealth should not be accepted.’ If I were to accept your gift today, who knows what unpleasant talk might spread." Just let people hear Dong Wei gave half a shopping mall to her, combined with Dong Wei’s reputation, what would people think?

Dong Wei hadn’t expected Su Xiaofeng to be so tough and uncompromising, "How could that be, I’ve had some dealings with your mom, I don’t want to be in business anymore, I’m just giving it to you directly, who could say anything? Kid, you’re overthinking a rather simple matter."

"Uncle Dong, let me say it once more, Luo Yuzhu is Luo Yuzhu, I am me. We have absolutely no relationship to speak of, if there must be one, it’s that your son tried to harm me. If you are willing to sell the shares of the mall, then sell them; if not, let the bank staff take over." It’s too late to talk about relationships now.

"Su Xiaofeng," Lin Jing stepped forward. "Why must you press Uncle Dong so hard? Uncle Dong’s son has been imprisoned, and Auntie has divorced him, he’s already pathetic enough."

"These weren’t caused by me, so why should I sympathize with him?" Xiaofeng found this amusing, "Speaking of which, if you hadn’t told Mr. Dong I was here, Mr. Dong wouldn’t have been so furious as to come after me. If it hadn’t been for that, Mr. Dong wouldn’t have ended up in this situation. All in all, it was all because of you."

Blaming others is easy.

Lin Jing bit her lip, "Su Xiaofeng, don’t be so shameless. It’s one thing not to recognize your own mother, but now you talk this way to your own sister."

"Your last name is Lin, my last name is Su, how are we sisters in any way?" She lost her patience, thinking Lin Jing wasn’t capable at all: "If you feel sorry for Mr. Dong, you solve this problem for him."

If you are not capable, just shut up.

Lin Jing glared at her, helpless against the bank authorities.

"Lin Jing." Dong Wei, having heard Xiaofeng’s words, remembered that it was indeed Lin Jing who had caused today’s trouble. It was Lin Jing’s call that brought him here, without which he would have been unaware of Xiaofeng’s presence and wouldn’t have crossed paths with Xiaofeng, and he wouldn’t have had to sell the mall.

Thinking thus, Dong Wei looked at Lin Jing with a very ominous gaze, "Lin Jing, I didn’t expect you, at such a young age, to be so manipulative. I fell for your tricks this time, if I let myself be used by you again, I would be a fool."

"Uncle Dong, what are you saying? Could it be that my good intentions have been mistaken for malevolence?"

"Lin Jing, he blames us now that he finds himself useless. Let’s go, why bother arguing with her?" The female classmate initially thought Dong Wei had some influence, but within half an hour, he seemed utterly defeated.

If he couldn’t handle a young girl, how could he achieve anything great?

As the female classmate and Lin Jing were about to leave, Xiaofeng suddenly stopped the classmate, "Excuse me, could you please take out the items from your bag?"

The classmate laughed, "Get out of my way. Just because you’re the mall owner now doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want." She had taken a few small things, but who could have noticed?

Xiaofeng didn’t waste words and grabbed the classmate’s shoulder bag, then dumped a black slip dress from it, a style that was trendy this summer and looked particularly appealing on young girls.

The classmate’s face changed as she saw the item fall from her bag.

She had been very secretive, how could she have been caught?

"This is something I just bought. Is it wrong to put it in my bag?" She challenged, where was the evidence she stole it?

"In this mall, any purchased item would come with a receipt. Show me the receipt," Xiaofeng demanded. Although Xiaofeng had been standing in the middle all along, not noticing the surroundings, Xiaoqi was restless and had caught her in the act.

Xiaofeng even suspected it might have been Xiaoqi’s doing.

If there was a receipt, the classmate wouldn’t need to act so sneakily, standing there with flushed face and neck, her eyes pleading towards Lin Jing: "Lin Jing, could you pay for me? I’ll give you the money back once we return to the dormitory."

Lin Jing felt today’s humiliation was excrucially painful.

Dong Wei previously tried to trouble Xiaofeng, only to be humiliated himself. Now, this classmate was caught as a thief.

Being an acquaintance of Lin Jing, it was unthinkable for her to ignore the situation. She reluctantly threw fifty dollars from her bag with a bitter tone, looking at Xiaofeng, "Is that enough?"

"The penalty for stealing from this mall is ten times the item’s price. This dress costs fifteen, so the compensation would be one hundred and fifty, which your fifty dollars doesn’t cover," Xiaofeng noted, glancing at the fifty dollars on the ground, not intending to pick it up.

Lin Jing didn’t have enough money on her.

She was somewhat better off than others but had only fifty to sixty dollars on her, obviously not enough to cough up one hundred fifty.

"I’ll cover for them," Zhao Xi glanced at Dong Wei and Lin Jing, "This time, it’s on me."

After all, he did feel quite sorry for Dong Wei today.

But Dong Wei was too harsh, and it scared
