Chapter 417 Write an IOU
"Jiang Suining, if you pay the money for me, I won't hold you accountable for what you did before!" Yang Manman said gritting her teeth.
Seeing this look of great concession, Jiang Suining couldn't help but smile.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him following Yang Manman's gaze, Jiang Suining suppressed his smile and spoke in confusion.
"When you say you don't care, do you mean you don't care about your repeated provocations and troubles against me, or you framed me and framed me?"
"River……"
"Ms. Yang." Jiang Suining interrupted Yang Manman, his face showing a thoughtful look, "Thinking about what you did before, I really don't understand why you can't care about me?"
After hearing this, many people looked at Yang Manman with even more contempt. It turned out that this person had done a lot of bad things.
Although the innkeeper had never seen Jiang Suining, he had heard of Jiang Suining's name. He took a quick look at Jiang Suining and immediately asked.
"Are you really Miss Jiang Suining?"
After receiving a positive answer, he quickly changed his expression.
"Miss Jiang, although I only run a small inn, I have heard of your name. But do you and this guest... know each other?"
Jiang Suining nodded, "I know him."
The shopkeeper looked hesitant, wondering whether he should just say that since they knew each other, then let the matter go.
However, just as the words came to his lips, he heard Jiang Suining say again.
"We have a grudge."
The shopkeeper was stunned and quickly swallowed the words that he was about to say.
Yang Manman was furious when she heard Jiang Suining's words which added fuel to the fire.
"Jiang Suining, we'll meet each other sooner or later. I'm giving you a chance to show your good will now. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Damn it, if she had no money on her and didn’t know the other people, how could she ask Jiang Suining for help?
She originally wanted to let Jiang Suining pay the money first, and then settle their bills later, but she didn't expect Jiang Suining to be so hateful. Was she really not afraid that she would cause trouble for her later?
"Miss Yang, what you said is quite interesting. You schemed against me first, so why should I be friendly with you? As for the fact that you can't see me when you look up, but you can see me when you look down...it does make some sense."
Jiang Suining changed his tone and said with a smile.
"So, if you really want me to solve this problem for you, it's not impossible."
"Do you have conditions?" Yang Manman spoke immediately.
"Of course." Jiang Suining nodded, "I want you to pay me back a hundred times."
"Is it that simple?" Yang Manman looked at Jiang Suining suspiciously.
The meal and room fees together should only be a few taels of silver, and a hundred times that would only be a few hundred taels. She doesn't even take it seriously!
"Is it easy?" Jiang Suining said with a playful smile, "You just beat up your own mother in public yesterday, and now you can't even go home. Are you really sure it's okay?"
Feeling the surprised or condemning looks from everyone, Yang Manman's face froze.
"It's not your place to comment on my family affairs! It's a hundred times the money, so pay it quickly!"
Yang Manman now just wanted to leave the inn as soon as possible and not be stared at like this by everyone.
"No hurry." Jiang Suining shook his head slowly, "You still need to write me an IOU."
"IOU?" Yang Manman was stunned, then her face darkened, "You're dreaming. Don't think I don't know what you're up to. Are you planning to spread the IOU around so that others can laugh at me? Jiang Suining, stop daydreaming!"
No wonder Jiang Suining was willing to pay, this was his idea, so shameless!
"You are the one who wants to borrow money from me, and the interest is a hundred times higher, so of course I have to write an IOU as evidence to prevent you from defaulting on the debt. As for spreading the news and making a fool of yourself, you can rest assured. You have already contributed to such a wonderful joke yesterday. How can a mere IOU overshadow what happened yesterday?"
Looking at the smile on Jiang Suining's face, Yang Manman became more and more annoyed. The next moment, she suddenly had an idea. That's not right. Since he promised to pay her back a hundredfold, why should she borrow from Jiang Suining?
"Whoever is willing to lend me money, I will pay it back a hundredfold!" Yang Manman said to the people around her confidently.
Jiang Suining is such a fool. If she offered a hundred times the interest, even if the people present didn't know her, they would definitely scramble to lend her money.
However, when the people who were talking at once heard what Yang Manman said, no one spoke in response.
Yang Manman frowned, obviously not expecting that no one would pay attention to her.
"Didn't you hear me? I said I could pay you back a hundred fold. That's several hundred taels of silver. I'm afraid some of you have never seen so much silver in your life!"
This contemptuous tone made many people feel angry.
"How shameless! A man who beat his own mother, was kicked out of the house, and can't even pay the rent, has the nerve to laugh at our poverty."
"That's right. Who knows if you can pay me back? You might just run away the moment I lend you the money."
"Anyone who can lay hands on his own mother should be struck by lightning a hundred times. Pah, we wouldn't care even if you were struck a thousand times!"
When Yang Manman proposed to pay back the rent a hundred times, the shopkeeper was indeed tempted. He thought that it would be a good thing if he gave her more time and then paid back the rent a hundred times later. However, this idea only popped up for a moment before he dismissed it.
Not to mention whether the other party can pay a hundred times the rent, and looking at the current situation, it is obvious that he has a grudge against Miss Jiang. If I agree, wouldn’t I be offending Miss Jiang?
He also hoped that his business would do well in the future so that he could save more money and rent a shop in the west of the city. That place is now the favorite place for the people of the imperial city and it is very lively.
Don't let the situation end with you where you not only don't get a hundred times the amount, but also lose the rent and offend Miss Jiang, and lose your chance to make a fortune in the future.
Yang Manman didn't expect that among so many people present, no one was willing to lend her money. After being surprised, she angrily cursed, "You are a bunch of dog-eyed and unscrupulous people who look down on others. I am..."
"If Miss Yang doesn't want to borrow it, then I'll leave first."
Jiang Suining interrupted Yang Manman again, his tone revealing impatience.
"To be honest, I don't expect you to pay me back. I just spend some money for fun. But if you keep dragging your feet, I'm not interested in watching this fun anymore. Shopkeeper, you'd better hurry up and report to the police."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper immediately responded and urged, "Sir, Miss Jiang is willing to help you, but you are still dawdling and blocking the way for our business. If you continue like this, we can only go to the government office!"
Yang Manman never thought that one day she would be laughed at like this because of just a few taels of silver.
If it were any other day, she would have put on her identity as the young lady of the Duke's Mansion and taught these people a lesson.
But at this moment, she really couldn't say the identity of the Duke's Mansion, and her identity as a female official didn't seem to give her any advantage in front of Jiang Suining, who was at the same level as her.
Facing the gazes from all around, Yang Manman took a deep breath and finally squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "It's just an IOU, I'll just write it!"
"Okay." Jiang Suining's expression remained unchanged, and he was even more amused. "Boss, can I borrow some paper and pen?"
"It's on the counter. Please come in, Miss Jiang."
Jiang Suining walked into the inn, paid the shopkeeper, wrote a simple IOU on the counter, moved the paper to the right edge of the counter, and asked Yang Manman to sign it.
Yang Manman signed on the left side of the note with a serious face and pressed her fingerprint.
She threatened: "Jiang Suining, I will definitely pay you back a hundred times the money, just like sending away a beggar, but if you dare to spread the IOU around, I will never let you go!"
Jiang Suining looked at Yang Manman's signature on the paper, a smile flashed in his eyes. When he looked up at Yang Manman, his expression returned to normal.
"Okay, then I'll wait and see if Miss Yang can pay back the money."
