90: Chapter 90 What are you pretending for?
"You're a rich person? And you're being dragged down by us?"
The Zhang Family Members now only thought that Zhao Jian was crazy.
However, before they could all attack him together.
Zhao Jian pointed at them and said:
"So much for the Li family. You haven't learned a shred of the upbringing of a wealthy family, only how to look down on others."
After all, Good Older Sister was also one of the Zhang Family Members, so Zhao Jian didn't feel comfortable calling her out by name.
Li Tiezhu was so angry his beard was trembling.
He wanted to curse.
He hadn't even said much, and his grandson, Li Yi, was just watching silently.
Why was he always targeting his Li family!
Did he really think he was easy to bully?
"Kid, let me give you a piece of advice. Young people shouldn't be too arrogant!"
With a gloomy gaze, Li Tiezhu was truly enraged.
It was supposed to be a perfectly good birthday banquet, taking the opportunity of celebrating an old friend's birthday to propose a marriage alliance.
The two families were already on good terms, and forming a marriage alliance would be even better.
In the future, he would have Old Zhang give the villa's inheritance to Zhang Tao.
This way, Li Yi's marriage would be settled, and they would get the villa for free.
Wouldn't that be wonderful!
But it was ruined by Zhao Jian!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, wishing he could call security to throw this kid out.
Unfortunately, the Zhang family's security guards had gone out to transport the cake and hadn't returned yet.
"Old geezer, let me give you a piece of advice too. A youth without arrogance is not a youth at all!"
After Zhao Jian finished speaking, he even wanted to ask if the other party was selling melons.
Having been retorted by him, Li Tiezhu's face turned livid.
At this moment, Li Yi couldn't hold back anymore.
Although after the family became wealthy, his parents and elders always taught him to remain elegant and easygoing.
Only then would it fit the temperament of high society.
But he felt that even a clay figurine has a bit of temper.
Why should a whole room full of people be belittled by a nobody like Zhao Jian?
He insisted on stepping hard on this kid:
"You need capital to be arrogant. What is your status, and what right do you have to jump around here?"
Seeing Li Yi step forward.
Zhang Tao was about to speak up to defend Zhao Jian.
But before she could speak, she was stopped by Zhao Jian.
Right now, almost everyone in the villa was not on his side.
Letting Zhang Tao speak for him would incite public anger.
He could just not come here in the future; he didn't have any connection with these people anyway.
But could Zhang Tao really cut ties with her grandfather?
There was no need to drag Good Older Sister into this.
Anyway, the goal was to disrupt the Li family's proposal, and given the current situation, it should have been achieved.
"I didn't want to reveal it, but since you asked, I'll show my cards: I'm actually a billionaire."
Zhao Jian's words caused an uproar among the crowd.
"What did he say he was?"
"He's a billionaire? Oh my, I'm so scared."
"Hahaha, has this kid lost his mind?"
"He must have been so jealous seeing so many rich people like us that it damaged his brain."
"Jealousy drove him mad."
One person said this, another said that.
It was all disbelief and mockery.
Zhao Jian quietly watched them jump around.
Until the noise died down, he planned to take out his bank card to broaden their horizons.
Just as he was taking out his phone, another group of people arrived at the Zhang family villa.
Zhao Jian was familiar with this group.
The owner of Mingyue Antique Shop.
The place where he fenced stolen goods.
President Li, Zhang Tao's boss.
The other two were Zhang Tao's parents.
As soon as they entered, Zhang Tao's father scanned the crowd, and his expression immediately darkened.
He asked: "What are you doing?"
The crowd formed a semicircle, enclosing Zhao Jian and Zhang Tao inside.
On the other side were the two old men, Zhang and Li.
No matter how you looked at it, it seemed like they were bullying two juniors by relying on their numbers.
Zhang Tao's father regarded his daughter as the apple of his eye.
Since she was little, he couldn't bear to say a harsh word to her.
Could he let this group of people bully her?
Zhang Taos Mother also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong and hurried to Zhang Tao's side to comfort her softly.
Actually, Zhang Tao's father was not highly regarded in the family.
No one took his question seriously.
Instead, they mocked him:
"Guoshe, you really need to control your daughter. What kind of partner has she found? He's full of nonsense."
"We're afraid he'll ruin our old Zhang family's reputation in the future!"
Zhang Guoshe looked at Zhang Tao.
Seeing that his daughter was laughing and talking, it was clear she hadn't suffered much.
Only then did he feel slightly relieved.
When he turned back.
His expression turned angry again.
"You don't need to worry about my daughter's affairs. As for the old Zhang family's reputation? Hasn't it already been thrown away by you all long ago!"
Hearing Zhang Guoshe's words, everyone's expressions became unpleasant.
Although his status and position were not high, his character and conduct were excellent.
There were no points to attack in terms of morality.
They could only turn the spearhead back to Zhao Jian.
"Billionaire, say something. Could it be that you picked up some joss paper at a grave?"
The crowd roared with laughter.
But Zhao Jian ignored them.
He was currently catching up with the antique Shop Owner.
Because recently there hadn't been many antiques, and he had intended to give the only faqiu seal as a gift.
Of course, now he didn't want to give it anymore.
However, Grandpa Zhang saw the owner of Mingyue Antique Shop, a teacher he had been particularly respectful of recently.
Actually laughing and talking with Zhao Jian.
He was shocked!
With curiosity, and some trepidation.
He walked up to the two and interjected:
"Boss Qian, do you know each other?"
The antique Shop Owner's surname was Qian; Zhao Jian had only just found out.
He had traded with the other party many times.
But it was limited to money and goods transactions, and he hadn't asked about private matters.
Boss Qian smiled very kindly at Zhao Jian.
But he kept a cold face toward others as usual.
He just nodded in response to Grandpa Zhang's goodwill.
In fact, he wasn't cold.
He was just introverted.
Grandpa Zhang had long known the other's personality and didn't mind.
He continued to smile and ask: "This kid is just a liar who talks big. Boss Qian, don't be deceived by him."
Huh? Is this old geezer sick!
Zhao Jian had considered that the old geezer was Zhang Tao's grandfather and had already saved face for him.
But he didn't appreciate the favor!
However, before Zhao Jian could speak, Boss Qian said with a cold face: "Little Brother and I have known each other for a long time. I know what kind of person he is better than you do."
"He's a liar? He has sold at least tens of millions in antiques to me. Are you saying that what I collected are all fake?"
What?
Tens of millions!
The Zhang Family Members were all stunned.
Li Tiezhu also widened his eyes.
Although for the Li family, ten million could be easily produced.
But Zhao Jian could also produce it.
Doesn't this mean that the mockery from just now was all their ignorance?
Isn't this slapping their own faces!
"Boss Qian, are you joking?" Grandpa Zhang asked blankly.
Zhao Jian's image change was too sudden.
It was hard for him to accept.
"This is just a conservative estimate; after all, it's impossible for him to do all his business only with me."
Boss Qian of the antique shop said it very calmly.
But when the words reached the ears of the Zhang Family Members, it caused a huge uproar.
"He, he is actually not a poor ghost?"
"Could he really be a billionaire!"
"My god, we actually just mocked a tycoon with at least ten million in assets."
"Ten million, that is already on par with our Zhang family!"
"Ten million in assets is indeed a lot, and billions is even more. But where did he get so many antiques? I think he makes fake goods, and it's possible Boss Qian misjudged them."
Zhao Jian thought to himself, you're the one making fake goods!
He brought the gift box over and sneered.
"This was originally a congratulatory gift for Grandpa Zhang, but since everyone thinks it's fake, then I won't give it."
