CHAPTER 488: CHAPTER 488: THEN JUST CONSIDER MY LIFE, MO XINGYUAN, AS WORTHLESS

Mrs. Shen’s eyes instantly widened even more.

Five billion...

Mrs. Shen stared intently at Mo Xingyuan.

Would he agree?

Although five billion was a substantial amount, it was not something that the Mo Family couldn’t afford.

Since the elder has made the request, without five billion, this matter is truly difficult to negotiate.

The Shen Family’s grand hall fell silent for a while.

There was almost no sound for a good long time.

Suddenly, Mo Xingyuan picked up the tea on the table and took a casual sip.

His proud and indifferent face showed no emotion.

Mayor Shen and Mrs. Shen were both waiting for his response.

It wasn’t until Mo Xingyuan put down his teacup that he finally spoke, "I have never liked to make loss-making deals. It seems this deal is not going to happen."

"Do you think that Zhuyue’s life-saving grace is not worth five billion?" Mayor Shen narrowed his eyes coldly.

Mo Xingyuan’s expression stiffened once again.

He quickly recovered, his deep black eyes looking calmly at Mayor Shen, "Two billion, I’m already offering this out of consideration for Zhuyue."

"Heh." Mayor Shen immediately let out a cold laugh, "It seems you think your life is not worth five billion."

Mo Xingyuan’s brows furrowed once more.

"If my daughter Zhuyue hadn’t saved you back then, where would you, Mo Xingyuan, be today? Now that Zhuyue is still in a coma, if you want us to repay kindness with kindness, you have to show some sincerity, right? President Mo is someone skilled at using money for transactions, always feeling that money can settle everything. However, my Shen Family does not include a single businessman; we are not good at doing business.

All I know is that my daughter Zhuyue once saved a person who should not have been saved. Now, asking us to repay kindness with kindness is even more unfair to Zhuyue. Five billion, we the Shen Family don’t want a dime from you; it is purely the compensation you owe to Zhuyue."

Mayor Shen spoke calmly and finished. Mo Xingyuan’s brows were furrowed even more tightly, his face marked with the weariness of time, a mixture of complex emotions, "Then just consider that my life, Mo Xingyuan’s, isn’t worth much."

With that, Mo Xingyuan left those words behind and stood up to leave.

"You..." Mrs. Shen wanted to say something, but saw that Mo Xingyuan’s departure was very resolute.

It took him only a few steps to leave the grand hall of the Shen Family.

She anxiously turned to Mayor Shen, "What do we do now?"

What did Mo Xingyuan mean by his words? Does he not want to give a single penny?

How can this be acceptable?

He had agreed to two billion.

Even if he couldn’t produce five billion, getting two billion would still be good.

Two billion is not a small sum.

The Shen Family could not earn that much money in their entire lifetime.

How could they not accept it when it’s being offered to them on a platter?

"What’s the hurry."

Mayor Shen was still looking in the direction where Mo Xingyuan had left, "Last time he left like this, didn’t he return obediently to our Shen Family this time around?"

"But, elder," Mrs. Shen continued, "Last time it was only fifty million, this time five billion... isn’t that really a bit much?"

Although the Mo Family is wealthy, how could Mo Xingyuan, as a businessman, agree to engage in such a loss-making deal all at once?

"What’s too much? Mo Xingyuan owes a debt of gratitude to Zhuyue, and our Shen Family has every right to demand any amount of money."

Mayor Shen had seized on this point.

As long as Mo Xingyuan deeply understands that Zhuyue is his life-saving benefactor, negotiating business with the Shen Family is destined to be unfair.

Even if it is a loss-making deal, he still has to make it.

"But..." Mrs. Shen hesitated, appearing to want to say something more.

Mayor Shen’s gaze immediately turned towards her.

Mrs. Shen first glanced outside, confirming that Mo Xingyuan had already left the Shen Family’s residence, then she spoke softly, "But what if Mo Xingyuan one day finds out that it was not our Zhuyue who saved him? What then?"
