Mr. Zhou didn’t say anything because he didn’t know anything about oil. He just wanted to take out his phone and find out who this person was.
“Ke’er, before I get angry, go and get the divorce certificate with that kid after dinner. We’ll pretend that this never happened.” Father Xiao was very unhappy when he saw Father Zhou’s hesitant attitude. He continued, “When the time comes, Father will personally find you a good man. Let’s not talk about anything else. The young man next door has always had a good impression of you. He’s even a match for you.”
“Dad…” Xiao Qinke called out to Father Xiao helplessly.
“Look at this and think whether it’s appropriate. I don’t want anything else, but they even want my daughter to pay for a 200 million villa. Isn’t that too much?” Father Xiao’s anger was rising. He grabbed Xiao Qinke and wanted to leave.
“In-law, that’s not what Old Zhou meant. Please don’t take it to heart.” Mother
Zhou panicked when she saw this. She quickly smiled apologetically and said, “Our Tingyang is truly sincere towards Ke’er.”
“Sincere? Do you think I’m blind? He had just broken off his engagement with another woman a few days ago. What sincerity is there? He’s just relying on my daughter’s stupidity.” Father Xiao said aggressively, “To be honest, if I didn’t care about my daughter, I wouldn’t have come to this meal today. It’s too embarrassing. If this piece of news gets out to the industry and they ask me which family my daughter married into, I really can’t say it.”
“Father, you’re really too much.” Xiao Qinke stomped her feet anxiously. “Which part of what I said wasn’t the truth?” Father Xiao asked Xiao Qinke.
Xiao Qinke could not answer.
“You spent 200 million to buy a house, but they don’t have anything. They’re just planning to receive all these while they do nothing. You’re the only one who’s being honest and sincere.” Father Xiao pushed Xiao Qinke’s head and scolded her.
“In-law, this 200 million yuan house isn’t just a few million yuan. I didn’t say that I wouldn’t pay for it either. Isn’t it reasonable for me to be more cautious?” At this moment, Father Zhou finally spoke before the two families fell out. He continued, “You’re asking for protection for Ke’er, so of course I have to ask for some protection for my son. As a parent, can’t you understand this? Moreover, the couple’s love is their own business. If you want to involve money in this matter, then we’ll have to settle it separately.”
“Their own business? That’s right. Since this is between the two of them, then the dowry can indeed be waived. After the two of them get together, I won’t pay a single cent. This is acceptable, right? After all, they have such a good relationship.”
When the Zhou family heard this, their faces turned green.
Xiao Qinke said that her father was easy to talk to. Wasn’t he good at scheming?
“Dad, even if I don’t have money, Tingyang will still love me, right Tingyang?” Xiao Qinke turned to Zhou Tingyang.
Zhou Tingyang was stunned for a moment. Then, he nodded and said, “Of-of course!”
Father Xiao looked at his perfunctory expression and became even angrier.
“Forget it. Let’s not eat this meal today.” Father Xiao said seriously, “We’ll take Ke’er with us. We’ll meet at the Civil Affairs Bureau at two in the afternoon. Our families are not compatible. It’s too uncomfortable to be in-laws. Why don’t we end this as soon as possible?”
“Mr. Xiao, I don’t like what you’re saying either. You want the Zhou family to pay for the 200 million yuan house in full. Besides, this is Jinchuan. I’ve never heard of any super-rich people in City A. I’m confused. Isn’t that normal? Why are you allowed to use your abacus to calculate and not allow others to think?” After Father Xiao heard Father Zhou’s words, he immediately smashed the cup.
Water splashed everywhere, and glass shards flew everywhere.
“Let’s go!” After saying that, Father Xiao pulled his wife and daughter out of the private room.
The three of them walked very quickly, leaving only the three members of the Zhou family behind. They were speechless and angry.
“I’ll go after Ke’er.” Zhou Tingyang stood up recklessly.
“I’ll go with you.” Mother Zhou also chased after her son.
“None of you are allowed to go!” Father Zhou was angry and lost his temper. However, at this moment, the mother and son did not care about his feelings at all. They pushed the door open and quickly left.
However, the two of them didn’t chase after them for long because the Xiao family of three hadn’t gone far. Someone was standing in front of them. A person who made Zhou Tingyang tremble in fear.
Huo Jiuxiao.
Father Zhou also came out and saw Father Xiao and Huo Jiuxiao talking and laughing.
They knew each other and had a close relationship.
Most importantly, the Xiao family of three had left with Huo Jiuxiao.
Zhou Tingyang quickly chased after them and asked the waiter. The waiter immediately replied, “They went to Master Xiao’s private room.”
Father Zhou was stunned. He suddenly thought of someone. Then, he took out his phone and called the other party. He asked, “Lawyer Qian, do you know Zhongyue Oil?”
“How can I not know? One of Huo Jiuxiao’s businesses is mining overseas. Why are you suddenly interested in oil?”
At this moment, Father Zhou felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
It turned out that the Xiao family was working together with Huo Jiuxiao.
“How did it go?” Mother Zhou saw Father Zhou’s expression and quickly took the phone over to confirm with Lavvyer Qian again.
When she heard how rich and low-key Zhongyue was, she almost slapped Father Zhou. She berated, “It’s you who ruined my son’s plans time and time again. How could I have such a useless husband like you?” If Tingyang really has to divorce Ke’er in the afternoon, you should also prepare to be alone.”
After saying that, Mother Zhou dragged Zhou Tingyang away.
They didn’t dare to go near Huo Jiuxiao.
Father Zhou was feeling extremely regretful right now. At this moment, he wished he could slap his mouth. Why couldn’t he control his temper and leave himself a glimmer of hope?
Would there still be a chance to make peace in the afternoon?
Tn another private room. Master Xiao was already eating- However. the peonle
opposite him obviously did not dare to move, afraid that they would offend him and get threatened with being thrown into the sewers.
Lin Wanli saw their fearful expressions and felt a little helpless. She said, “Master Xiao just came out to help you guys. You don’t have to be so scared.” “Mr. Huo… Thank you.” Xiao Qinke thanked him timidly.
“The dishes are not bad. You can start eating now. If you keep staring at me, you’ll have indigestion.” Huo Jiuxiao said without looking up.
Hearing Huo Jiuxiao’s words, the three of them picked up their chopsticks at the same time.
Lin Wanli was amused by their actions. She grabbed Huo Jiuxiao’s hand and comforted him.
Huo Jiuxiao picked up a few prawns. After peeling them, he placed the plump and firm prawn meat on Lin Wanli’s plate.
The three people opposite were shocked. However, Lin Wanli was used to it.
She said to Xiao Qinke, “In the afternoon, we can raise the price at the Civil
Affairs Bureau.”
“I think so too. A villa worth 200 million yuan and a betrothal gift of 100 million yuan. According to that family’s greedy personality, they will definitely take the bait.”
After Lin Wanli heard this, she ate a mouthful of prawn meat and looked up at Xiao Qinke. She said, “Put your name on the villa. And also transfer the money from your account to pay for the villa. Also, have you thought about how to get out of this after the matter is done?”
When the Zhou Group was hollowed out, Xiao Qinke would light a fire for them.
She had no intention of escaping….
