Chapter 786 - 786 A Reminder
786 A Reminder
When the people present heard Ji Mo’s words, they all revealed thoughtful expressions. Many of the more astute people’s expressions had already started to turn ugly. After all, those who could come out to play with Lu Shaoyang either treated him as a friend or wanted to get close to him. Today, Lu Shaoyang had said several times that he wanted to take on small projects and hoped that everyone could make money together. Many people were tempted. As the saying goes, a villain doesn’t harm his neighbors, but Lu Shaoyang had deliberately chosen to lie to people he knew!
Shen Hanxing’s smile widened when she saw how effective Ji Mo’s words were. She avoided everyone’s gaze and secretly gave Ji Mo a thumbs-up to express her praise for him.
The corners of Ji Mo’s lips curled up, and his eyes were bright. He was obviously very happy and proud, but he tried his best to keep a straight face and put on a cold and arrogant expression. He originally didn’t want to get involved in this. What did it have to do with him that these people were being deceived? Even he, a student who had just finished his college entrance examination, could see through a simple scam. These people actually fell for it. They were really stupid! People with low intelligence deserved to be cheated! But… Who asked his sister-in-law to be such a good person? Since his sister-in-law wanted to help them, he certainly did not want to disappoint her.
“Rumors can’t be trusted. It’s better not to spread baseless news.” Since Ji Mo and Yun Cai were so supportive, Shen Hanxing did not have to say anything more. She lowered her eyes and said calmly, “Repeating rumors would make it seem like a fact. Have a few people spread the word and once the word spreads, those who don’t know the truth will believe the rumors.”
!!
Ji Qian, Ji Mo, and the rest nodded their heads.
“Mrs. Ji…” One of the rich kids couldn’t help but ask carefully, “Pardon me for asking, but how do you decide if it’s a rumor or the truth?” This question not only troubled the rich second-generation kid, but everyone else also perked up their ears. They were reluctant to give up the benefits in their hands. When they were chatting with Lu Shaoyang, they also revealed their intention to invest. The return of the Lu family’s project was obvious to all. At their age, they all wanted to make some achievements to prove themselves. If the investment was fake, then the money they invested would be completely trapped. They would not be able to produce results and would become a joke, even implicating their families.
Not all of the people present were the only child, and there were many who needed to fight for the family’s inheritance. Even if they had some advantages now, if they made a mistake, it would give others in their family a chance. If the investment was real and they hesitated, they would miss the best opportunity. When the time came, they would feel very uncomfortable seeing others make money.
There was nothing wrong with these people’s thinking. Few people could resist the temptation of huge benefits in front of them. Moreover, they were Lu Shaoyang’s target. Lu Guo had done something at home. As far as they knew, Lu Shaoyang’s father had been in contact with their families during this period.
“If you can’t tell, why don’t you wait a little longer?” Shen Hanxing’s red lips curled up slightly as if she did not understand what they were referring to. She said casually, “Moreover, everyone’s family background is not bad. If you’re not sure, you can just find someone to investigate and get to the bottom of it, right?”
“Enough!” At this moment, an angry roar came from Lu Shaoyang’s side. Everyone looked over and saw Lu Shaoyang’s face was full of violence. He shouted at the phone with a twisted expression, “I know what I’m doing! Mind your own business and don’t interfere with my decision!” He couldn’t control his emotions, and his neatly-arranged hair was a little messy. Lu Shaoyang’s body stiffened as he realized that he had lost his composure. He looked back at the crowd and forced a smile. Then, he turned around and continued to say something to the person on the other end of the phone.
“Did it not go smoothly when he asked for the money?” Yun Cai muttered in a voice that everyone could hear, “He’s so angry. It doesn’t seem like he’s chatting with his parents.” Didn’t he have to prepare ten million? He didn’t call his parents and even threw a tantrum. He didn’t look like he was in a good state.
Suspicion and uncertainty flashed in the eyes of the people present. They looked at the people beside them with dark expressions and wanted to retreat. They should consider their earlier decision for a while more. Shen Hanxing’s lips curled into a smile when she saw their expressions.
