Chapter XVII
At this moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard was obviously a little tense. Wang Fengying was so angry that her face was pale as she stood at the door of the house. Mo Junbao sat at the side with an ugly expression. There were only two stools in total. Other than Mo Junbao and the old lady sitting, the rest were standing.
As for the four wooden chairs that were often taken out to make up the numbers, they were now properly kept in Mo Jun's Treasure House.
Mo Zihan walked into the courtyard and immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Mo Duan's expression was not good as he sneered." Our Mo family's silly child is back."”
Mo Junqiang glared at his son." Nonsense! That's your sister!”
"I don't have such a stupid sister." Mo Duan put his hands in his pockets and took two steps to the side, afraid that his father would beat him up in anger.
Mo Junqiang glared at his wife, Wang Yan, helplessly. The latter put her hands on her waist and sneered," Why are you always shouting at your son? If you have the ability, go with Fourth Brother! Our family took good care of the old lady, but in the end, all the good things were taken by the Fourth Family!”
"Sister-in-law, you can't say that! Back then, your family insisted on taking care of Dad and Mom. Before Dad left, he left all his belongings to your family. Otherwise, how could Boss start a business? I speak with conscience, why do you want to remember everything?”Mo Junbao raised his eyes and shouted angrily.
Second Uncle Mo Junhua snorted and said," How dare you say that? Didn't Mom leave this old house to you out of pity? Can you say that you're not greedy for anything? Let me tell you, Fourth Brother, you have to have a conscience. You can't let all the good things go to your family!”
It turned out that Mo Junbao had fallen out with Mo Junhua yesterday. After the appraisal, he refused to sell the chair no matter what. Mo Junhua had been angered, so he had contacted his eldest and third brothers to come over today. He even pulled his mother, who had dementia, over.
Second Aunt Li Yu pulled Mo Junhua and whispered," We're all brothers. Don't talk like that."”
"What do you know? Do you know how much that chair is worth? Forget about 40,000 yuan, I'll even do it for 100,000 yuan!”Mo Junhua snorted coldly.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes widened. Why was this chair so valuable?
"If it's really an antique, then it's priceless! I heard that there was an auction in Beijing some time ago for a yellow pear flower window frame made in the late Ming Dynasty. It sold for seven figures!”Mo Junhua raised his head and said with a cold snort.
"Seven!" Wang Yan's eyes widened. A million! How much would this chair be worth?
"What do you mean? There was no way he wanted this chair! This thing belongs to our family!" Mo Junbao threw away the cigarette butt and shouted with his neck stretched out.
Mo Junhua smiled and said," Oh, military treasure. Our mother is still around, and we haven't divided it up yet. This thing is still considered our mother's. If you want this chair, it's fine. We can just split some money between each family. Otherwise, you can keep one for yourself and the other one will be split among the three families."”
Mo Zihan stood by the gate of the courtyard and did not take another step in. He just leaned against the door and watched everyone's actions.
A cold smile flashed across her lips. Humans indeed had no kinship in the face of benefits.
Benefits…kinship…
A corner of his heart ached for no reason. Mo Zihan closed her eyes, wanting to grab hold of something as it flashed through her mind.
She frowned as if she was in a dark rainy night. The few figures in front of her made her unable to see their faces clearly. Suddenly, a heart-wrenching pain came from her back!
"Ah!" She suddenly opened her eyes. The dense sweat on her forehead made her feel cold. Why did the scene that flashed through his mind just now feel so familiar?
A sense of despair and sadness welled up in her heart. She muttered," In front of benefits, there's no kinship…"
After saying that, a cold smile suddenly appeared on her lips. She straightened her body and walked towards the big house.
When Mo Zihan screamed, everyone turned to look at her. Naturally, they also noticed the change in Mo Zihan's expression.
The little girl, who had been watching the show just now, suddenly exploded with an inexplicable hostility.
When Mo Zihan walked past Wang Fengying, she said," Zihan, go in and do your homework. Don't come out…"
Before he could finish his words, Mo Zihan's cold gaze grabbed his throat, and his voice stopped abruptly!
A few seconds later, Mo Zihan appeared in front of everyone again with a chair in her hand.
The chair was a pale yellow old wooden chair. The back of the chair was engraved with a pattern of a five-clawed dragon playing with a pearl. It looked like it had been around for quite some time. No one would pick up such an old chair even if it was placed on the street.
However, today, the whole family almost broke their heads because of it.
Mo Zihan walked to the center of the courtyard and slammed the chair in his hand on the ground. Mo Junbao jumped up from the chair in shock. What are you doing, you child! Take it back to the house!"
Everyone's attention was drawn to the chair.
Mo Zihan sat down on the chair under the watchful eyes of the crowd. She elegantly crossed her legs and looked around the crowd. A faint smile appeared on her lips." This is the yellow pear wood chair that you wanted. It's priceless and worth at least seven figures."”
Everyone's pupils constricted. This chair was the Yellow Pear Blossom Wood chair! A yellow pear blossom wooden chair that cost more than a million yuan!
"If you want it, come and get it." The smile on Mo Zihan's lips slowly disappeared, and his gaze turned cold.
Mo Junbao was so anxious that he stomped his feet. He put away the chair in the room and blocked the door to prevent everyone from entering. He was afraid that they would see it! If these people were jealous and snatched the chair, who could he reason with?
The name of the house was still the old lady's, and the old lady was living in Mo Junqiang's house. If they wanted to use this as an excuse, he really couldn't find a reason!
The second brother, Mo Junhua, had hidden this matter at first because he wanted to discuss buying a chair with Mo Junbao when he had money. He did not want this good thing to fall into the hands of others. After all, the eldest and third brother were much richer than him.
However, Mo Junbao was unkind, so don't blame him for being unrighteous today.
"Zihan! Don't mess around! Take the stool into the house!" Wang Fengying also rushed forward.
Wang Yan pulled her back." Yingzi, what's the hurry? We can also look at the baby and broaden our horizons, right? Haha, Zihan, get up first. Auntie, take a look.”
As she spoke, Wang Yan went forward to look at the chair. Just as her palm touched the back of the chair, Mo Zihan, who had his back facing her, suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist. With a gentle twist, Wang Yan wailed and followed Mo Zihan's gesture to quickly walk in front of her.
Mo Zihan's shoulders shook slightly. At the same time, he released his grip, and Wang Yan fell to the ground with a thud.
"First Aunt, if you want to look at the chair, you need to have the qualifications.”Mo Zihan's lips curled into a playful smile.
She raised her chin slightly and said to everyone," If you want it, come and get it yourself.”
Mo Zihan's imposing manner at this moment had truly intimidated everyone present. Mo Junqiang even forgot to help his wife up. He just stared at Mo Zihan with his eyes wide open. Oh my god, why did this child's temperament suddenly change so much?
"Mom!" Mo Duan's angry shout woke everyone up. Mo Junqiang hurriedly strode over to Mo Zihan and helped Wang Yan up.
However, Wang Yan did not get up. When she came back to her senses, she actually sat on the ground and started crying. She howled," This is unreasonable! Little bastard! He reached out to beat and scold his elders! Wang Fengying and Mo Junbao! What a good daughter you raised!"
However, Mo Zihan was still leisurely sitting on the seven-figure chair with his legs crossed. He looked at Wang Yan indifferently.
