These few people speaking up seriously provoked Mrs. Sze, She angrily said, “I don’t care what you think. I’ve already made a decision on this matter. Anyway, I’ve already accepted Mr. Li’s betrothal gift, and I definitely won’t return the money. Even if you don’t want to marry him, you’ll have to! You don’t have the final say in our family!”
“Actually, it’s fine if you don’t want to marry him,” Sze Junyan suddenly said. He stood up and walked over to Nangong Nuannuan. He glanced at Chi Yang, who had kept his arm around Nuannuan’s waist like a bracelet around a wrist ever since they first sat down in the room. “If you don’t want to marry him, I’ll get married instead. I like this Nuannuan. Since she’s your friend, help me persuade her to marry me. If you do, you won’t have to marry anyone after all,” said Sze Junyan.
Mr. Li of Rongxing Company was displeased when he heard that. He puffed out his big belly and said, “Well, your mother accepted my betrothal gift and promised to compensate me fivefold if she went back on her word. So, will you be responsible for paying the one million yuan she owes me now?”
Sze Junyan’s expression soured when he heard that. He immediately changed his tune and said, “Since you and Nuannuan such good friends, this is actually perfect. You marry Mr. Li, and Nuannuan marries me. In the future, when you come back to your family home, you’ll have a friend to accompany you.”
When Hu Han heard that, she stood up and said to Sze Lingyun, “Sister Yunyun, Mr. Li is my father’s boss. Introduce this Big Brother Chi to me and make sure I become his girlfriend, and in the future, we’ll be even closer than before.”
Chi Yang, “…”
Nangong Nuannuan, “…”
Wu Pingting could not take it anymore. She was completely furious. She pointed at each and every one of the hypocrites in the room and scolded, “Shut up! All of you, shut your filthy mouths! You’re Mr. Li of Rongxing Company, right?”
Mr. Li looked at Wu Pingting. Actually, this girl was pretty good-looking. If Sze Lingyun was really unwilling to marry him, he would not mind having Wu Pingting instead. Therefore, even though he knew that she was angry, he was still in a good mood.
“Yes, I am. Pingting, do you have something to say to me? If you’re willing to take Sze Lingyun’s place and marry me, I could forget about that one million yuan penalty.”
Wu Pingting laughed in anger and sneered. “You want me to marry you? I’m afraid you wouldn’t dare to. I’m the daughter of the richest family in Sea District, the Wu family. Are you sure you’re qualified to marry me?”
“What?”
Wu Pingting’s words shocked everyone in the room. They all stood up from their chairs.
“What? Are you people deaf? Nuannuan and Big Brother Chi are rich beyond belief too. Talking about five houses… Even if you offered 50,000 houses, Nuannuan wouldn’t give you a second look.”
Then, she looked at Mr. Li of Rongxing Company and said, “Li, I remember the name of your company. Aren’t you brilliant? So, you can make more than 10 million a year? I bet you think you’re so great. Let’s see how you feel in a week’s time.”
With his big belly still jutting out, Mr. Li, who had been in a good mood for the last few hours, now grew displeased.
“Little girl, I, Li Qiongan, cannot be frightened by others! You say that you’re the eldest daughter of the Wu family, the richest family in Sea District, but what proof do you have of that?”
Wu Pingting sneered. “I don’t need proof. My proof will come in a week’s time, after I deal with you. You’re nothing more than a mere ant relying on others. I can make your lousy company go bankrupt tomorrow!”
“This…” Li Qiongan looked at Mrs. Sze and trailed off.
