After our homes were confiscated and we were exiled, the women in my clan and I raised a million sol

As soon as Zhang Liang finished speaking, the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly became tense.

The housekeeper was already dissatisfied with Zhang Liang's seemingly contemptuous look, and now when he heard the other party's direct and ruthless rejection, the anger in his heart finally found an outlet.

He slammed the table with a deafening sound that echoed in the quiet hall, as if even the air was shaken.

"You little brat! What do you mean?"

The butler practically squeezed out these words from between his teeth, each word filled with uncontrollable anger and threats.

His eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to devour the young man in front of him who dared to challenge his authority.

Especially when he noticed the look Zhong Tian gave him, which made him feel insulted like never before.

Faced with the housekeeper's sudden outburst, Zhang Liang remained unusually calm.

He slowly raised his head, looked at the other party with a firm gaze, and said in a calm but powerful tone: "It's simple. I cannot accept the cooperation conditions you proposed."

After a pause, Zhang Liang added, "I think anyone with a normal mind would not agree to such a collaboration."

Zhang Liang was not afraid of the housekeeper's threats, because he was not in business, and he would be leaving tomorrow, so the threats were useless to him.

These words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, making it even more difficult for the butler, who was already on the verge of exploding, to control his emotions.

He clenched his teeth, his facial muscles twisted and deformed with extreme anger, and he barely suppressed the impulse in his heart with all his strength.

You...you really won't reconsider? If you reject us, then don't even think about doing business here anymore!"

His words were full of naked threats. It was obvious that he had pushed the limit and tried to force Zhang Liang to change his mind.

Zhang Liang looked at the humiliated butler, his lips curling up slightly in a faint smile. His eyes held both disdain for the current situation and a resolute resolve for the future. At that moment, he seemed to see through all the butler's threats and intimidation, believing them to be futile.

"I think I should have made myself clear."

Zhang Liang spoke slowly, his voice calm and powerful.

"I won't cooperate with your Liang family. You don't just have medicinal herbs here, right?"

When the butler heard Zhang Liang's words, the muscles on his face twitched unconsciously and his expression instantly became distorted.

He seemed to have never met anyone who dared to face his threats so directly. The anger and shock in his heart intertwined, making him not know how to respond for a moment.

"Good, good! Very good! I've never met anyone who dares to reject our Liang family!"

The butler finally squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, his voice clearly trembling and unwilling.

Seeing the butler's gnashing teeth, Zhang Liang smiled and said, "You saw it today!"

"As expected, a newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger. I hope you won't regret it later!"

After saying this, he seemed to have used up all his strength, turned around and prepared to leave this place that made him feel extremely embarrassed and frustrated.

However, just as he was about to take a step forward, Zhang Liang's voice came from behind him: "Don't worry, sir. I won't regret it. On the contrary, if I cooperate with you, I will regret it so much that I will slap my thigh and break it."

The butler's footsteps suddenly stopped. He didn't look back, but his whole body was obviously stiff.

After the butler left, the atmosphere in the room seemed to become more solemn.

Zhang Liang's face darkened the moment the butler left.

Seeing this, Zhong Tian, ​​who was standing behind him, also sat down, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Lord."

Zhong Tian's voice broke the silence.

"I think the Liang family has set their sights on us. They definitely won't let us go. We must be careful!"

Hearing Zhong Tian's reminder, Zhang Liang nodded.

"I finally understand why the Liang family fell into decline. They are so stupid that they can still exploit the people here. They are lucky."

Thinking of the unreasonable request just made by the housekeeper, Zhong Tian shook his head and felt helpless.

After leaving, the housekeeper returned to the Liang family angrily.

He walked towards the study, his heart filled with anger and dissatisfaction.

When he came to the door, he took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and showed a flattering smile on his face.

Then he knocked on the door and said, "Master, I have something to report to you."

Not long after he finished speaking, a voice came from the study and said, "Come in."

After getting permission, the butler immediately pushed the door open and walked in, then came in front of Liang Xiujie.

Seeing the butler coming, Liang Xiujie slowly said, "How is that matter going?"

When the housekeeper heard this question, he felt nervous.

He knew that this matter was very important to the Liang family, and if it was not handled properly, it might cause great trouble.

So he replied cautiously: "Master, I have done as you instructed. But..."

Having said that, he paused, seeming a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Liang Xiujie frowned and asked, "But what? Tell me quickly!"

The butler stood respectfully in front of Liang Xiujie. Although his face was expressionless, he was already beaming with joy in his heart.

Damn you brat! How dare you speak to me like that? I'll kill you today!

He lowered his head slightly, then said, "Master, today I went to find that person according to your instructions. But I didn't expect that after hearing what I said, he not only refused to agree, but also became very arrogant!"

Hearing this, Liang Xiujie, who was already a little unhappy, frowned and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.

"Is this true?"

He asked in a deep voice, his tone full of suspicion and dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, the housekeeper was secretly happy, knowing that his words had aroused Liang Xiujie's interest.

Then he added more exaggeration: "Yes, sir. Not only did the man reject our proposal, he even made wild remarks, saying..."

Having said that, the butler deliberately paused, as if choosing more appropriate words to irritate his master.

Sure enough, as the housekeeper spoke next, Liang Xiujie's face turned ashen in an instant, and the veins on his forehead were faintly visible.

There was a sense of oppression in the air, and even breathing seemed to become heavy.

After a long time, Liang Xiujie suddenly burst into laughter, and his laughter echoed in the spacious study, carrying an indescribable weirdness and coldness.

He laughed and said, "Good, good! I haven't seen such an arrogant young man in a long time."

After saying this, his laughter stopped abruptly, and his face instantly became as gloomy as the bottom of a pot, like the calm before the storm.

Then, Liang Xiujie said coldly: "Since he is so arrogant, let me see where his arrogance comes from."

At this moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and murderous intent continued to emerge.

Obviously, after listening to the housekeeper's exaggerated description, Liang Xiujie had already developed murderous intentions and was determined to completely get rid of this person who did not give him face.

The atmosphere in the entire room suddenly became tense, and even the air seemed to freeze.

After hearing Liang Xiujie's words, the butler's face flashed with a barely perceptible smile, but soon the smile disappeared without a trace.

He quickly adjusted his expression, returning it to his usual respectful and serious state.

Then he asked, "Master, what are we going to do now?"

Liang Xiujie glanced at him with a hint of disdain and indifference in his eyes, as if to say, "Do you still need to ask such a question?"

Then he slowly said, "Idiot, do I need to teach you what to do? Since he's here to do business, I'm going to make him leave penniless! Let him know who to mess with and who not to mess with!"
