Chapter 2282 Ultimatum
"Grandpa Xu."

After a brief silence, Hong Feng sat up straight and looked at the old man.

“Please sell me this maple tree.”

"Drink~"

Zhuge Yun grinned.

This guy is just as straightforward as the rumors say.

"Or you can lend it to me temporarily."

"Of course, it would be great if you could sell it to me."

Hong Feng looked sincere and spoke earnestly.

The smile on the old man's face faded.

The corners of his mouth pursed.

Don't you care at all that there are outsiders present?

Is this young man a little anxious?
Also.

The stalemate has lasted for so many days.

Both the young man and the old woman felt a little tired.

They may be even worse.

After all, I'm an old man and can't compare with the energy of young people.

but
Even if they feel tired, their answers will not change.

"Hong Feng, we have told you many times."

“This maple tree was there when this house was built.”

“It was passed down from our ancestors.”

“It has special meaning to us.”

“We’re not selling it.”

"It belongs to this yard."

"Then can you lend it to me temporarily?"

The expression on Hong Feng's face became more earnest.

“After I die, this maple tree will return to this yard.”

"In this way, the maple tree will still be yours."

"Why don't you just come and see the maple tree whenever you want, like today?"

Zhuge Yun spoke.

Hong Feng seemed a little surprised by Zhuge Yun's interruption.

He was stunned for just a second and then started laughing again.

“I love this maple tree.”

“I hope to see it every day.”

“So hopefully it can be planted in my yard.”

"Oh."

Zhuge Yun responded indifferently.

"But the owner of this maple tree likes it very much, too."

He emphasized the words "master" and "like".

No matter how good something is, it has an owner.

No matter how much others like something, they can only like it, not think about owning it.

After all, if it's not yours, it's not yours.

The owner has repeatedly expressed his disapproval and should have given up long ago.

A gentleman does not take away what others like.

Hong Feng is just pestering me endlessly by doing this.

"They all like each other, so is your like more important?"

Although Zhuge Yun said this with a smile, the content of his words was quite impolite.

For a moment, the air seemed to be somewhat stagnant.

"Master Xiao, the maple leaf pastry is here."

Xu Zizhen's voice broke the somewhat stiff atmosphere under the maple tree.

".What's wrong?"

Xu Zizhen keenly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere among the crowd.

"Thank you."

Xiao Xiao took the plate with maple leaf crisps.

"Ah, you're welcome."

Xu Zizhen smiled subconsciously.

"You misunderstood me."

Hong Feng smiled at Zhuge Yun.

Then he turned his gaze to the old man again.

To him, the current owners of the maple tree, the two elderly people, are the most important.

other people.
He didn't want to waste time talking.

"Old man."

A big well-shaped character appeared on Zhuge Yun’s forehead.

This guy is just treating him perfunctorily and ignoring him!

"Second brother."

Zhao Luzheng whispered to Zhuge Yun, "Calm down."

Even though they were in opposing positions at the moment, Zhao Luzheng had to admit that the other party was very rational.

Know what you want.

And have been working hard for it.

Don't waste time and energy on unnecessary things.

For example, several visitors who had nothing to do with the Xu family.

Xu Zizhen sat next to his grandfather. He understood the reason for the strange atmosphere just now.

This person... has it started again?
It’s really endless.

He thought of what Master Xiao had mentioned before, that he had experienced a similar situation.

Why did they encounter such a difficult person?
Xu Zizhen shouted a few times in annoyance in his heart.

"Mr. Hong."

Xu Zizhen sat upright.

The expression is serious.

"I'm telling you again."

“Our family will not sell this maple tree.”

“I won’t sell it no matter what.”

"If you continue to argue about this issue, don't blame us for being ruthless."

Both old men were stunned.

The old lady wanted to speak.

The old man pulled the old lady's clothes.

After a few seconds, the old lady finally closed her mouth.

But he sighed silently.

Zhuge Yun and the others' eyes lit up.

here you go!
After listening to what Master Xiao and others said yesterday, Xu Zizhen finally made up his mind.

Cut the mess with a sharp knife.

They will express their gratitude to the other party for helping grandma in other ways.

For the first time, the smile completely disappeared from Hong Feng's face.

The other party has made it so clear.
There was no room for him to pretend to be confused.

This was different from what he thought.

It was out of kindness that he initially helped the old lady who fell on the road.

Later, when he saw the maple tree in the old lady's yard, he thought it was God's reward for his good deeds.

This is his maple tree.

This was the first time he took a fancy to a maple tree in someone else's house.

After all, not many families have enough space to plant maple trees at home.

But at that time he had never expected that just wanting a maple tree would be so difficult.

Yes.

It's just a maple tree.

They are not him.

If we didn't have this maple tree, we could just plant another one.

Why do you have to go against money?
He really likes this maple tree.

He likes this maple tree very much.

Why not sell him the maple tree?
He even compromised and suggested just temporarily leaving the maple tree with him.

It’s like this and it still doesn’t work?

why?
Hong Feng curled the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that I came at the wrong time today."

Are all these people here today helpers called by the old man’s grandson?

"I still have something to do."

"I'll take my leave now."

Hong Feng stood up.

He bent down slightly and quickly left the yard.

Xu Zizhen immediately chased after him.

The remaining people looked at each other.

"This is."

Zhuge Yun touched his chin, "You still have no intention of giving up?"

"Or is it the last chance to save face?"

".have no idea."

Zhang Bo shook his head.

"It depends on whether he will come again later..."

Zhao Lu was muttering.

It’s just that the other person is really a very decisive person.

As soon as he saw that the situation was not right, he immediately withdrew.

Without arguing with them.

Xu Zizhen is back.

"he's gone."

"Xu Zizhen, you were so handsome just now."

Zhang Bo gave Xu Zizhen a thumbs up.

Xu Zizhen felt a little embarrassed.

“I just learn and apply what I have learned.”

What he said was what Master Xiao and the others told him yesterday.

"grandparents."

Xu Zizhen looked at the two elderly people.

"I'm sorry. I took matters into my own hands."

"Oh, it's okay."

The old lady waved her hand, "What is there to apologize for, kid?"
