Chapter 188 The Mother of Char Siu Man 2 (14)
Hearing Luo Yefan's threatening words, Shu Qiang swallowed hard. He glanced at Shu Yong, then at his future son-in-law, and quickly made a decision in his mind.
Making a quick buck is certainly a good thing. But none of that matters as much as your own life.
Having figured out the crux of the problem, Shu Qiang agreed to the matter and decided to step down and have a good talk with Luo Yefan.
Shu Qiang smiled obsequiously at Luo Yefan and said, "My dear son-in-law, nine million is the lowest you can offer!"
Luo Yefan gestured to Shu Qiang, "Five million, that's all! Besides, you need to be alive to spend that much money!"
Shu Qiang was naturally unhappy that Luo Yefan was going to cut the price in half. He was about to say something, but seeing Luo Yefan's obvious displeasure, he swallowed hard.
He was afraid that if he kept talking, he wouldn't get the five million, so he finally nodded in agreement.
After handling these matters, Luo Yefan returned to the stage.
But at this moment, both of their states of mind had undergone a tremendous change.
Previously, Shu Qing, as the dominant figure in their relationship, unconsciously adopted a condescending attitude in her interactions with Luo Yefan. Luo Yefan, in turn, felt that Shu Qing was only with him out of necessity, and that her choice was perfectly reasonable.
However, during this time, Luo Yefan spent a considerable amount of money on Shu Qing, which inadvertently increased his social standing. Now, the Shu family's disruptive actions and demand for a dowry further confirm this fact.
Shu Qing was naturally aware of this change. But she couldn't say it aloud, nor did she dare to. Once she broke the ice, she feared her relationship with Luo Yefan would never be the same again.
The emcee on stage, with exceptional composure, continued to preside over the wedding.
"Mr. Luo, do you promise to uphold your wedding vows, to love her, comfort her, respect her, and protect her, whether in poverty or wealth, in sickness or health, in beauty or fading, in success or failure? And to remain faithful to her for the rest of your lives?"
When the emcee asked Luo Yefan this question, Luo Yefan hesitated. Was this kind of wedding, this kind of wife, truly what he wanted?
But now that the die is cast, there's no turning back, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
Shu Qing naturally noticed the hesitation in his words. Right now, Luo Yefan was her best option; she had no other choice!
So when the emcee asked her the same question, she almost immediately agreed.
The two people on stage were in very different states of mind, while the audience below was filled with onlookers. Perhaps they both shared the same feeling: this wedding was absolutely terrible!
The couple, who had finally made it to the end of the wedding and were preparing to go home, discovered that another unexpected event had occurred.
Luo Yefan's luxury car has disappeared!
If he had known this earlier, Luo Yefan would have sold off most of his luxury cars to raise money for the wedding. Now, he only has this one car left to make an appearance!
However, the hotel receptionist told him that the car was missing, which infuriated Luo Yefan.
"Where's my car? I parked it here at your hotel this morning, and now you're telling me it's gone?"
Out of anger, Luo Yefan grabbed the receptionist by the collar and shouted.
For a moment, the hotel receptionist was stunned by Luo Yefan and stammered, "Sir, please don't be angry. I'll check the surveillance footage for you right away!"
After the surveillance footage was released, Luo Yefan's expression turned even more grim.
Because the person who drove away his car was none other than Shu Yong.
What infuriated Luo Yefan even more was that the receptionist was stammering as she explained, "This person claims to be your brother-in-law, and he even produced relevant proof and car keys!"
Now that things have come to this point, it would be impolite to continue making a scene.
Luo Yefan glanced back at Shu Qing, who was still standing softly and weakly behind him, and a sense of indescribable frustration welled up in his heart.
With a family background like his, few people would believe it if you told them. On his wedding day, not only was he asked for an exorbitant dowry, spending all his savings, but even his only car was stolen!
Left with no other option, Luo Yefan had to call Xia Mingwei.
Xia Mingwei already knew about the farces that occurred at the wedding through Xiao Ba's broadcast. So, she wasn't surprised to receive Luo Yefan's call.
"Mom, can you arrange a car to pick me up?"
Xia Mingwei feigned confusion and asked, "I saw your car at the hotel today, the one you prepared for your wedding. What, do you want me to admit that you two are truly in love? Do you want me to offer my blessings to the newlyweds before things are considered complete?"
Xia Mingwei's relentless questioning left Luo Yefan speechless.
He can't afford to lose this person!
Driven by extreme vanity, Luo Yefan still did not tell Xia Mingwei the "truth".
"Something happened to me, but I can't tell you the reason right now. Mom, please help me!"
Luo Yefan lowered his stance and spoke almost pleadingly.
Nevertheless, Xia Mingwei cruelly rejected Luo Yefan's request.
"After all that, all you want is my blessing, right? I'll grant your wish!"
“You always say I’m a bad person who breaks up couples, but now I clearly realize my mistake and have decided to turn over a new leaf! Don’t worry, from today onwards, I will definitely respect and bless you two ‘true love’!”
After a brief exchange, Xia Mingwei immediately hung up the phone.
Hearing the dial tone, Luo Yefan felt a gust of wind sweep through his heart.
Can he say that he doesn't want any damn blessings, he just wants a car to pick him up and take him home?
Shu Qing was naturally there to watch over Luo Yefan as he made that phone call.
Seeing that he had hung up the phone, Shu Qing asked with concern, "What did your aunt say? Will she send a car to pick us up?"
Luo Yefan shook his head.
"No matter how angry Auntie is, she can't just ignore us like this! After all, what parent would stay angry with their own child for so long! Even though what happened today was because I hid something from you, Auntie shouldn't have done this!"
It would have been better if Shu Qing hadn't said those words. Once the matter of today was brought up, Luo Yefan felt that he could no longer control his anger.
His mother was indeed at fault for stirring up trouble, but Shu Qing's greedy father and brother were the root cause of this farce!
Unable to contain his temper any longer, he yelled at Shu Qing, "Can you please not mention this matter again!"
