1176 Inexplicably Taking the Blame (5)
The patriarch of the Long family didn’t dare to go against Lu Zijia and the others, so he could only start with Zuo Wei. “Steward Zuo, don’t you think 100,000 gold coins is too unreasonable?!”
Even though 100,000 gold coins was a drop in the bucket for him, it didn’t mean that he was really a fool with too much money. He was at the mercy of others nonchalantly, casually, and indifferently!
Most importantly, if he really gave 100,000 gold coins, he would lose all his dignity as the leader of the Long family!
Zuo Wei wasn’t afraid of the furious glare of the Long family’s patriarch at all. He smiled disapprovingly. “How can that be? I gave 100,000 gold coins at a discount on the account that you are from the Long family. Patriarch Long, do you think I haven’t given you enough discounts? Or don’t you have that many gold coins with you?”
Zuo Wei was obviously setting a trap for patriarch Long.
If the patriarch insisted on lowering the price, it meant that he really didn’t have that many gold coins with him.
Imagine this, the dignified leader of the Long family didn’t even have 100,000 gold coins on him. It would be obvious what others would think about the family.
So, if the patriarch didn’t want to lose his dignity, he had no choice but to swallow this loss.
As expected, the patriarch of the Long family, who originally wanted to continue lowering the price, was so angry that his entire body was trembling at this moment. He couldn’t wait to skin Zuo Wei alive!
In the end, the patriarch of the Long family still compensated 100,000 gold coins obediently, which couldn’t help making the onlookers talk happily.
The Long family had really gone for wool and come home shorn this time.
“Wait.”
After paying 100,000 gold coins aggrievedly, the patriarch of the Long family wanted to leave angrily.
However, Lu Zijia stopped him again.
Patriarch Long clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth in hatred. “I’ve already paid the gold coins. What else do you want?”
If it weren’t for the other party’s cultivation level, the patriarch of the Long family would probably not be able to help but slap her at this moment.
“Nothing.”
Lu Zijia smiled indifferently. “I just want to tell you that it wasn’t Senior Tian who crippled your son, but me.”
It could be said that Tian Hongcheng had inexplicably took the blame for them.
Thinking of this, Lu Zijia couldn’t help touching her ears a bit guiltily.
“You…!”
Patriarch Long knew that the people who injured his son were the two people Tian Xiaogui brought back.
Unexpectedly, the two people he didn’t take seriously were these two people in front of him!
Thinking of this, the patriarch’s face immediately turned green.
No wonder Tian Hongcheng gave up the position of the patriarch so easily. It was because of these two people.
Patriarch Long was so enraged that his chest heaved violently. A mouthful of blood suddenly surged into his throat, but in order not to continue embarrassing himself, he forcefully swallowed it back.
“Tian Hongcheng, I underestimated you, but don’t be too complacent. I won’t let it go just like that!” After saying those harsh words to Tian Hongcheng, the patriarch of the Long family left in a hurry.
If he didn’t leave now, he was afraid he would die of anger on the spot!
Seeing that the patriarch of the Long family was obviously blaming it on him, Tian Hongcheng couldn’t help feeling a bit depressed. He was attacked for no reason!
Tian Xiaogui couldn’t help looking at his father sympathetically.
This time, Lu Zijia didn’t stop him again, but when she met Tian Hongcheng’s gaze, she felt even more guilty.
She really didn’t let Tian Hongcheng be blamed on purpose. This was all a misunderstanding, a beautiful misunderstanding!
And that patriarch of the Long family was really something. She had already told him honestly that she was the one who crippled Long Yuanzhi. Why was he still blaming Tian Hongcheng?
He really couldn’t differentiate between gratitude and grudges!
