Chapter 114: How Much Do You Plan to Give for My Bride Price?

~7 min read 1,372 words

"Lin Dazhi, did you really take out a loan of two billion?"

Hearing Zhang Xiaoli's words, Zhou Yue was the first who couldn't hold back; she stepped forward to ask Lin Dazhi.

Getting this close, Zhou Yue realized that after not seeing him for a few days, her ex-husband seemed even more handsome and stronger. Standing before him, she felt as if she were facing a majestic mountain, and she actually felt a faint sense of looking up to him!

Moreover, there was a faint scent about him that was particularly pleasant; just catching a hint of it made her feel her body go a little weak!

Lin Dazhi looked at his ex-wife Zhou Yue, smiled, and nodded, saying, "That's right, the funds arrive tomorrow. It was a bit difficult for Bai Weiwei to handle it before; that Vice President named Li Yongquan kept trying to hit on her. Yesterday, I took her to his office and taught that idiot a lesson, and then he behaved. Isn't that how the matter got settled?"

Listening to her ex-husband's words, Zhou Yue felt her brain couldn't quite process it.

Lin Dazhi? Taught a Vice President a lesson?

Why did she find that so hard to believe?

Didn't he just have a little money? Would a dignified Vice President be afraid of him?

She instinctively felt that Lin Dazhi was bragging, including the matter of the loan. With his character, could a bank really lend him two billion? Weren't they afraid he wouldn't be able to pay it back?

"Lin Dazhi, why didn't I realize before that you were so vain? I know you want to show off in front of me how well you're doing now, but I beg you, can you not tell such low-level lies? After all these years, who doesn't know who?" Zhou Yue scoffed, saying with disdain.

"I didn't say you had to believe me; aren't you the one asking?" Lin Dazhi said with a smile, not angry at all.

"Enough, do you think I want to ask about your messy affairs? You can pretend however you like, but don't you dare mess with Xiaoli, you hear? Xiaoli is about to marry Xiaojun; Lin Dazhi, can you stop causing trouble?" Zhou Yue said bluntly.

"Causing trouble? What trouble am I causing?" Lin Dazhi asked, looking confused.

"You didn't cause trouble? Then why did Xiaoli say just now that she wants to be your, what was it, CEO? It's not that I'm saying anything, Lin Dazhi, but you're just a delivery driver; you can't even sort out your own affairs, so why are you feeding others empty promises? A CEO? Have you ever been a CEO?" Zhou Yue mocked.

Hearing Zhou Yue's words, Lin Dazhi thought about it seriously and said, "I haven't actually done it before, but I will be able to soon."

As he spoke, he swept a glance over Zhang Xiaoli, looking thoughtful.

"Lin Dazhi, what do you mean by that? I'm telling you, don't mess with Xiaoli; are you playing dumb with me!" Hearing Lin Dazhi's inexplicable words, Zhou Yue lost her temper.

"I'm not playing dumb; I've been telling the truth the whole time, you're the ones who don't believe it. How about this, why don't you call Bai Weiwei and ask her if the loan is real? It's a matter that can be cleared up with one phone call, is it really necessary to be like this?" Lin Dazhi said, curling his lip.

"Hmph, of course I'll make the call, but even if you have more money, our Zhou Family's daughter-in-law won't work for you!" Zhou Yue glared at him and said.

"Heh, you can't talk to me about that; go talk to Zhang Xiaoli. She's the one who wanted to, it's not like I forced her." Lin Dazhi shrugged, looking innocent.

"Hmph, Lin Dazhi, keep pretending if you want, I can't be bothered with you. I'm telling you, today is the day Xiaojun and Xiaoli register their marriage, don't you get any ideas." Zhou Yue said with a warning tone.

"As if I'm interested in your family's messy business." Lin Dazhi said with an indifferent expression, and after finishing this sentence, he pulled open the car door and got in.

However, at this moment, Zhang Xiaoli seemed to remember something; she hurriedly ran to the side of the car and knocked on the window.

"What's wrong, Xiaoli, something up?" Lin Dazhi rolled down the window and asked.

"Brother-in-law, I'll call you after I finish registering, come pick me up." Zhang Xiaoli said.

"Alright, I got it, hurry up and go do what you need to do." Lin Dazhi rolled up the window impatiently, stepped on the gas, and drove away.

Seeing his fiancée take the initiative to talk to another man and even ask him to come pick her up later, Zhou Xiaojun's expression turned even uglier.

He was just about to step forward and say a few words to Zhang Xiaoli, but she turned around on her own, spun in front of him, and said with a smile, "Xiaojun, do you think I look pretty today?"

Looking at his wife, who was as beautiful as a celestial being, Zhou Xiaojun couldn't help but nod and say, "Pretty, really pretty! Where did you buy this dress? I think it would be fine to wear on our wedding day!"

"Hmph, is only the dress pretty? Am I not pretty?" Zhang Xiaoli said, somewhat displeased.

"Hehe, you're both pretty, both pretty!" Zhou Xiaojun was so captivated by his fiancée's little expression that he hurriedly changed his words.

"This dress was custom-ordered from LV specifically for our registration today, guess how much it cost?" Zhang Xiaoli said mysteriously.

"How much?" Zhou Xiaojun felt a tightness in his chest upon hearing his fiancée's words. Although he didn't know much about luxury goods, he did know the brand LV; in his view, since this dress was LV, wouldn't it cost tens of thousands?

"680,000, how about that, isn't it a great deal?" Zhang Xiaoli said with a proud smile.

"What? 680,000? Just this one dress, 680,000?" Hearing this, Zhou Xiaojun was so scared his heart almost stopped!

"Oh my god, Xiaoli, what did you say? You spent 680,000 on this outfit?" Xie Fenglan, who was to the side, was also terrified; looking at the dress on Zhang Xiaoli now, she no longer thought it was pretty, she only felt her heart bleeding!

"She only had five million in total, she spent three million on a car, and now she spent another 680,000 on a dress, doesn't that mean there's only a little over a million left? If money is spent at this rate, won't it all be gone in a few days!" Xie Fenglan calculated in her heart, looking at the dress on her daughter-in-law, wishing she could make her take it off and return it immediately!

"That's right, this price is very normal for an LV custom-ordered gown. Zhou Xiaojun, I'm asking you, what's with that expression? Why do you look like you're not happy?" Zhang Xiaoli asked, somewhat displeased.

"No, no, Xiaoli, I just think that even if we have money, we can't spend it like this. Spending 680,000 on a single dress is just too wasteful!" Zhou Xiaojun said, feeling the pinch, though in his heart he was thinking that 680,000 could buy him a Land Cruiser.

He didn't understand those high-end cars, he just knew that his big brother's boss drove a Land Cruiser, which was super awesome, and he dreamed of driving one.

"Do I need you to worry about it? It's my own money, I'll spend it however I want! By the way, speaking of which, Zhou Xiaojun, today we are registering our marriage, what do you plan to give me?" Zhang Xiaoli scoffed and said.

"Ah? Do I have to give you something just to register?" Zhou Xiaojun was a bit dumbfounded.

"What else? Zhou Xiaojun, I'm prepared to marry you, and you intend to marry me empty-handed?" Zhang Xiaoli said angrily.

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Zhou Xiaojun hurriedly denied it.

"Then good, where is my bride price? How much do you plan to give?" Zhang Xiaoli asked directly.
