Chapter 624: The greed is not enough to swallow the elephant
Lei Jun gloated and laughed loudly.
"Ye Fan, since there's nothing else, I'll go to the wholesale market with Lao Yuan to help you pick out souvenirs."
"Well, go ahead!" Ye Fan waved his hand.
The two walked out of the office one after another, their laughter gradually dying down.
The lady's expression became very exciting, and she couldn't figure out whether Mark was really stupid or deliberately embarrassing herself.
Li Ruoxin smiled and said to Li Yangsheng: "Dad, this is glass jade. You should be careful when wearing it. Don't get bumped."
"Oh, okay." Li Yangsheng was playing with the bracelet and nodded perfunctorily.
"Dad, I'm telling you something serious!" Li Ruoxin emphasized, "What Ye Fan gave you is an old jadeite, and one bead costs tens of thousands!"
"Oh...what?" Li Yangsheng was shocked. He quickly took off the bracelet, held it carefully, and put it back in the box: "One piece costs tens of thousands. Can you pay back the whole bunch?"
"The whole bunch is three times the price of buying it individually." Li Ruoxin glanced at the lady from time to time, and then said to her father: "Your bunch is more expensive, mine is cheaper, but it also cost Ye Fan more than 500,000."
"Fifty...five hundred thousand?"
Before Li Yangsheng could speak, the lady screamed first.
She rushed forward and tried to take the bracelet back from Li Ruoxin's hand, "Oh my God, show me quickly!"
"You don't want to?" Li Ruoxin pushed the lady away and covered her hands tightly, "This is already mine!"
The lady's face was uncertain, she was ashamed and annoyed.
She looked at Mark aggrievedly, her eyes full of flattery, "Future son-in-law, look..."
"Auntie, don't worry, the wholesale market is not far from here, Lao Yuan and the others will be back soon!" Ye Fan interrupted the lady again.
The noble lady took a deep breath and finally determined that the brat in front of her was deliberately asking her to return empty-handed.
In the hometown of a noble lady, if you want to marry your wife, the man must take the initiative to come to the door and pass five levels and kill six generals before you can get the beautiful woman back.
If she hadn't gotten some benefits from the wealthy son-in-law, she wouldn't have come all the way to Binhai.
However, I haven’t reaped any benefits at the moment. If I buy a lot of souvenirs and my neighbors see me when I go back, do I still have the dignity to survive?
The noble lady stared at Ye Fan resentfully, but Ye Fan didn't take her at all and just kept talking to Li Yangsheng in a lively manner.
She was pushed to the edge, and her heart was full of humiliation.
Suddenly, she sat back next to Li Yangsheng and whispered: "Husband, you are usually very careless, please keep your bracelet for me..."
"Ah?" Li Yangsheng was stunned, "Why should I keep it for you? What if it is lost? I have already given it to my daughter for safekeeping. I feel more at ease if I leave it here with her."
"you!"
The lady was so angry that she could hardly vent her anger, and she gnashed her teeth with hatred.
"Auntie, you seem to have something to say?" Ye Fan poured a cup of tea and took a sip: "I am a very easy-going person. If Auntie has something to say, just say it."
"That...that's good." The lady snorted coldly, "We were talking about the engagement just now."
"Yes!" Ye Fan smiled, "Auntie, please tell me."
"In our hometown, there are many customs and rules when it comes to marriage, such as betrothal gifts, three gold coins, change of account fees, and red envelopes for knocking on doors..."
"Well, those are all done on the wedding day, I know." Ye Fan nodded, "Auntie, I'm just engaged to Li Ruoxin now, is there anything special about this?"
The noble lady was stunned, her expression was like a duck pinching her neck, she was extremely embarrassed.
"Ahem, there are also rules for getting engaged!"
The noble lady thought for a while and made up a random story: "My daughter has grown so big, and I don't know how much effort it has cost me. Son-in-law, even if you are engaged, you have to arrange the ceremony so that my whole family can be in good graces!"
"That's okay. Auntie, if you have any requests, feel free to ask, as long as they are reasonable."
"It's reasonable, of course it's reasonable!" the lady was delighted.
"Son-in-law, you are a decent person from a big city, with status and status!
If this engagement turns into a shabby one, it will not only hurt your and Xiao Li's face, but also bring disgrace to our faces when we return to our hometown.
It doesn’t matter to me. There’s nothing good to say about a female prostitute. But our head is different. He is a big man, the head of the family! If we don’t do it right and people in the town start talking about it, it will be bad.”
"Well, this is natural." Ye Fan continued to nod.
"Let's do it like this. We can have the engagement party back in our hometown and book the best hotel in town for ten days and ten nights. It means that you two are perfect."
"Easy to say!" Ye Fan smiled.
"As for the fee for revising the engagement, I don't want much, just one thousand... no, 9.99 million will do!"
The noble lady looked at Ye Fan's face, gritted her teeth and said, "Nine million nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand is just a drop in the bucket to a son-in-law. This money gives you face, and it also means long-lasting..."
Before the lady could finish speaking, Li Ruoxin sneered: "Are you betraying me?"
"This...this is a rule handed down from our ancestors. No one...can break it!"
The noble lady's head was full of money, and she couldn't care about anything else at the moment. She said firmly: "As long as the change fee for the engagement is paid, I will give back all your wedding gifts without leaving a penny. Isn't this okay?"
"Okay, you are really capable!"
Li Ruoxin laughed angrily, "Marriage is my business and has nothing to do with you at all!
Ever since I was a child, I have been just a tool to make money for you, have you never felt how disgusting you are?"
The lady was so yelled at by Li Ruoxin that she hesitated and did not dare to break up with her.
"I...I'm doing it for your own good...When boys get married and girls get married, we also want to have our grandson as soon as possible, don't we?"
"For my own good?" Li Ruoxin laughed, with tears streaming down her eyes, "Which of the men you introduced to me in the past few years is under the age of fifty?
What you value is their money, their property, and how much benefit you can get from it!
Have you thought about my happiness, have you considered my feelings?"
The noble lady glanced at Ye Fan secretly and retorted in a low voice: "Then what the hell were you looking for before? It doesn't matter what you want. I'm not a good person and dare to cause trouble everywhere. I..."
"You didn't force me to do that!" Li Ruoxin screamed angrily.
"What would have happened if you hadn't gone to his house every two days to scold his parents and made the whole town poke his spine?"
Due to Ye Fan's identity, the noble lady did not dare to have an attack on the spot, but it could be seen from her flushed face that she was on the verge of going berserk.
At this time, Li Yangsheng suddenly said: "I don't want any money! As long as my daughter lives well, I will be satisfied!"
This sentence made the lady's hair stand on end and her anger surged wildly.
Her daughter found a rich man and she couldn't offend him, but her husband turned his elbows outward. This was something she never expected.
"Li Yangsheng, you are out of your mind! If you don't accept the money, what will the people in the town think of our family? Are you still shameless?"
The lady was immediately furious and furious.
Ye Fan smiled lightly, "Uncle, aunt, you don't have to quarrel over these little things.
I will learn more about the specific rules in your hometown and ensure that Li Ruoxin can marry me in a glorious way.
It’s just... Auntie, the 9.99 million yuan correction fee you mentioned... Haha, that’s interesting!”
"Ye Fan, don't agree, she did it on purpose!" Li Ruoxin quickly grabbed Ye Fan, "She is greedy for money and doesn't care about my happiness at all!"
"I know."
Ye Fan patted Li Ruoxin's hand and turned to look at the lady: "Auntie, I understand that you want to save face, but I hope you can figure it out.
It is a very stupid thing to make your daughter hate you for a lifetime just because of a little money."
If anyone dared to preach to the noble lady like this, she would scold him back mercilessly.
However, Ye Fan's status as a "rich man" made the lady extremely afraid, and she did not dare to say nonsense at all.
"Future son-in-law, you also know that people in our small place have little guarantee of life. It shouldn't be too much for me to shamelessly ask you for some money for retirement, right?"
The noble lady rolled her eyes slightly and sighed.
"Your father-in-law is an incompetent man, and my health is not good. As a family, we hope that our daughter will marry a good family and help us by the way.
Son-in-law, you are worth hundreds of millions, and my daughter is enjoying the hot and spicy food with you. I am happy from the bottom of my heart.
I just didn't expect that my concern for my daughter in the early years would cause her to have such a big misunderstanding.
Son-in-law, I know I was wrong. Please look at your father-in-law’s face and forgive me, a mother who loves her son so much..."
The more the lady spoke, the more aggrieved she became. In the end, she burst into tears, and she even couldn't help but feel sad.
Li Ruoxin didn't react at all, still watching her mother's show with cold eyes.
"Okay, stop acting. If you really cared about me, you wouldn't have given me to the mayor to be his mistress when I was in junior high school!
If I hadn't threatened him with death, he wouldn't have let me go! Bitch, from that moment on, I will remember your cold-blooded face!"
Li Ruoxin called her mother a "bitch", which was ethically and morally rebellious, but who can refute her words?
In junior high school, when Hua Ji was thirteen or fourteen years old, her mother gave her to the mayor to be his mistress!
How cold-blooded is this lady to do such a heinous thing!
Ye Fan was filled with anger, and his eyes gradually became colder.
This is a mother who has no principles at all for money!
Li Yangsheng clenched his fists and sat on the sofa without saying a word.
It can be seen from his trembling fists how guilty he feels about this matter.
It's a pity that this father is also a coward and can't help the mud on the wall!
People who choose to be cowardly are not qualified to gain the respect of others.
Only those who resist cowardice will become heroes.
Ye Fan didn't want to criticize Li Yangsheng's behavior, but he would never have a close relationship with such a person, even if this person was Li Ruoxin's biological father.
"Okay, don't mention the unhappy things anymore, let's go to dinner!"
Ye Fan stood up, took Li Ruoxin's hand, and gently comforted the fear buried deep in her heart.
"From now on, you will only live for yourself. No one can control your life, otherwise I will make him pay with his life, no matter what his identity is!"
After saying this, Ye Fan glanced at the lady gently.
