I Become The Richest Man With A monthly Salary of Twenty Thousand Yuan-Chapter 653 - 462 It’s Okay
"To me, wealth is just a material thing. If it can make Master Xia happy, never mind one building—even ten buildings would be nothing." After a brief pause, Ning Jiacheng continued, "So please, Master Xia, you must accept this building."
Although he spoke with excitement, these were Ning Jiacheng’s true feelings.
If Xia Liang were willing to grant him three more years of life, he would give away ten buildings without a second thought.
But Xia Liang didn’t respond directly. Instead, he smiled faintly and took a sip of tea.
He knew that if he accepted this building, the benefits the Ning Family stood to gain would be no less than 30 billion Yuan. Just by accepting, the news would spread throughout Xiangjiang and Haojiang by tomorrow that he, Xia Liang, had accepted a grand gift from the Ning Family. In a sense, he would be tied to them. Although Old Master Ning might not have this intention, the younger generations of the Ning Family waiting outside would surely use this to promote themselves extensively. In the business world, anyone who had heard of his name would roll out the red carpet for the Ning Family. In the long run, the family would earn back far more than thirty billion.
But none of this was a reason for him to refuse.
"Let’s set this aside for now," Xia Liang said with a smile. He placed his empty teacup on the table and slowly pushed it forward with two fingers. "Old Master Ning, I imagine you came today for more than just this."
Seeing this, Old Master Ning instantly understood Xia Liang’s meaning. He moved before Wu Tong could, personally pouring another cup of tea for Xia Liang.
Xia Liang just watched him with a faint laugh.
Old Master Ning Jiacheng said hastily, "I only came to see you today to befriend you, Master Xia. How could I dare to trouble you with anything else?" As he spoke, he shook his head.
The most crucial piece of advice He Hongsheng had given him was to simply establish a relationship with Master Xia. Once that was done, any problem could be solved. He must not be hasty. So even though there was indeed some trouble back home that he wanted Master Xia’s help with, his sole purpose for coming today truly was to deliver a gift and make a friend.
However, Xia Liang smiled and said, "Old Master Ning, just say what’s on your mind. Do you really think you can hide anything from me?"
His words echoed softly in the room, his tone perfectly even, without a hint of fluctuation. After speaking, he looked at Ning Jiacheng with that same faint smile.
Ning Jiacheng instantly felt as if Xia Liang had seen through his every thought. Looking into those eyes, a cold shiver ran down the old man’s spine. He quickly took a deep breath, trying to figure out how to phrase his request.
But before he could speak, Xia Liang continued, "After all, since I’ve accepted your gift, I suppose I should help."
Hearing this, Ning Jiacheng froze for a second before his eyes lit up with unbridled excitement. His voice trembled as he spoke.
"R-Really? Master Xia, you’re willing to accept the building?"
Didn’t that mean Xia Liang had just agreed to accept it? If that was the case, then he could indeed ask Master Xia for a favor.
Strangely, however, Xia Liang didn’t answer him directly. He simply continued, "Old Master Ning, why don’t you tell me what the problem is first."
"Of course, of course." Ning Jiacheng nodded hastily. He took several deep breaths to steady his emotions before continuing. "I have a granddaughter. Five years ago, she was in a car accident and ended up in a vegetative state. I’ve sought out the world’s top doctors and many other masters, but no one has been able to wake her up. So..."
Hearing this, Wu Tong, who had been standing to the side, was also taken aback. She then nodded, a thoughtful expression on her face.
Five years ago, the accident involving Ning Jiacheng’s granddaughter had caused a huge stir throughout Xiangjiang. She remembered hearing about it even when she was still a student. But after a while, the news faded away. Like most people, she had assumed the accident wasn’t severe and the girl had recovered without any major issues. She never would have expected that his granddaughter had actually been in a vegetative state ever since, still lying in a hospital bed. She recalled meeting Old Master Ning when she became a sensation in Xiangjiang a while back, but even then, he had never once mentioned it. Aside from the Ning Family itself, very few people in Xiangjiang must know the truth. The poor girl was truly pitiful.
However, Wu Tong glanced silently at Xia Liang and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she had only heard stories about Xia Liang saving people and had never witnessed it herself, she had seen him do things far more incredible than simply deciding life and death with a word. She knew that as long as Xia Liang agreed, Old Master Ning’s granddaughter would undoubtedly wake up immediately without any issues.
Having said his piece, Ning Jiacheng looked at Xia Liang with an earnest expression. For five long years, he had consulted countless top physicians, but none could awaken his little granddaughter. He had even sought help from many masters of metaphysics, but they too were powerless. To make matters worse, his granddaughter’s physical condition was deteriorating. It was only recently that Ning Jiacheng heard about what had happened in Haojiang. At first, he hadn’t believed it.
