Chapter 81: This Matter Must Be Settled!

~8 min read 1,457 words

Zhang Xiaoli's words immediately made the expressions of the Zhou Family members even uglier.

They wanted to retort a few times, but every word Zhang Xiaoli said was reasonable; the situation was indeed exactly as she described.

However, once they thought of the 5 million in Zhang Xiaoli's hands, the four members of the Zhou Family could no longer care about saving face, and one by one, they stepped forward to desperately coax Zhang Xiaoli.

"Xiaoli, Xiaojun is sincere toward you, you must not think like that!"

"That Lin Dazhi is already involved with Bai Weiwei, and he still gave you so much money; could he have any good intentions?"

"You say Lin Dazhi is already thirty, yet he's still bothering a young girl in her early twenties; this person's character is just no good!"

"Xiaoli, Lin Dazhi just has some dirty money, and that money was all given to him by Bai Weiwei; what kind of ability is that?"

"Ma'am, your paperwork has been completed. Thank you for your trust in the Porsche brand. Congratulations on becoming a distinguished Porsche owner. These are the car keys and the relevant paperwork; please keep them safe. We have already handled the temporary license plate for you. If you have a need to register for a permanent license plate, we can also handle that on your behalf."

Seeing that three million had truly been charged to this beautiful young girl's card, the expression on the salesperson's face became even more respectful as they held the car's paperwork with both hands and spoke to Zhang Xiaoli.

"Fine, I'll handle the license plate myself. Can I drive the car away now?" Zhang Xiaoli asked.

"I'm sorry, I'll have to trouble you to wait a little longer. The car has been taken to be washed. After it's washed, we will hold a vehicle handover ceremony, and then you can drive it away. By the way, have you driven a Porsche before?" the salesperson asked very considerately.

"I haven't, why?" Zhang Xiaoli asked.

"It's like this: because the 911 is a high-performance sports car, its driving habits are somewhat different from ordinary cars. We need to provide you with some targeted training. It won't take long, about half an hour or so should be enough. This is also to help you become more familiar with this sports car," the salesperson explained carefully.

"Fine, I understand. Go ahead and arrange it," Zhang Xiaoli nodded and said.

Turning to look at the four members of the Zhou Family who were still waiting for her, Zhang Xiaoli saw expressions of disappointment, heartache, distress, and greed on their faces, but not a single trace of apology.

She sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she said: "Auntie Zhou, actually, I am not an unreasonable person, and it's not that I must have Zhou Xiaojun buy me a car. It's just that since he wants to sincerely be in a relationship with me, he can't just use his mouth to coax me. You all said just now that Lin Dazhi is bad at this and bad at that, but he actually gave me five million. What about Zhou Xiaojun? I've been with him for a few months; how much money has he spent on me in total? Only a little over ten thousand yuan, and yesterday he even asked for it back in front of so many people. How do you expect me to feel? Am I, Zhang Xiaoli, really that worthless? Zhou Xiaojun and I aren't even married yet, and he treats me like this. If we really end up together in the future, will I even have a good life?"

The more Zhang Xiaoli spoke, the more aggrieved she felt, until finally, her eyes turned red and she was about to cry.

Seeing this, the Zhou Family members all stepped forward to coax her again.

Right now, Zhang Xiaoli was their Zhou Family's god of wealth, so they had to coax her well.

Zhang Xiaoli sat there, listening to the Zhou Family members taking turns coming forward to say nice things. After a long while, she reluctantly said with red eyes: "Alright, you don't need to persuade me anymore. I, Zhang Xiaoli, am not an unreasonable person. If your Lao Zhou Family really wants Zhou Xiaojun to marry me, then show me your family's sincerity. I've bought the car; your family should provide an apartment in the city. The size doesn't need to be too big, just enough for the two of us to live in, but this apartment must be written in my name!"

Hearing Zhang Xiaoli's words, the Zhou Family members' eyes all lit up at once.

Listening to Zhang Xiaoli, it seemed she was going to settle this matter.

In an instant, the few members of the Zhou Family began to calculate rapidly in their hearts.

Buying an apartment was nothing; originally, for a marriage, the man's side should be the one to provide the apartment.

Besides, even if it were written in Zhang Xiaoli's name, what could happen? After the two of them get married, wouldn't they still live together? Even if they divorced, this apartment wouldn't be hers alone; on the contrary, as for the two million-plus in her hands, wouldn't Xiaojun be able to spend it however he wanted in the future?

As long as a woman gets married and gets the certificate, she is a member of the man's family. When the time comes, wouldn't it be up to their Zhou Family to decide how things are handled?

Thinking of this, Xie Fenglan and Zhou Dakui exchanged a look and instantly understood each other's meaning!

They must take advantage of this opening from Zhang Xiaoli to settle this matter!

"Xiaoli, so you're agreeing to this marriage?" Xie Fenglan asked hurriedly.

"As long as your Zhou Family agrees to my conditions just now, I will marry Zhou Xiaojun!" Zhang Xiaoli said with a stubborn look on her face.

"Fine! Girl, we've been waiting for those words from you! You want an apartment, right? Today we'll get the paperwork done!" Xie Fenglan slapped her thigh and said heavily.

"Fine, then I'll wait for your word. You can rest assured, I, Zhang Xiaoli, keep my word; I'm definitely not like some people..." Zhang Xiaoli didn't forget to take a jab at Zhou Xiaojun when she said this.

However, Zhou Xiaojun didn't care anymore. Looking at his smug smile, one could tell what he was thinking in his heart right now.

Just at this moment, the salesperson also came over and told Zhang Xiaoli that the car had been washed and was ready for handover.

Zhang Xiaoli followed them over to take delivery of the car, got the keys, and went to the grounds with the driver specifically responsible for the training. Seeing that there was nothing left for them to do here, the Zhou Family members hurriedly returned home to start discussing.

"Xiaoyue, is that apartment you got from your divorce with Lin Dazhi still being rented out? When does the lease expire?" Xie Fenglan asked anxiously.

Previously, when Zhou Yue divorced Lin Dazhi, Xie Fenglan had told her to ask for an apartment and told her straight out that this apartment was reserved for Zhou Xiaojun's marriage, so Xie Fenglan wasn't afraid of her daughter being unhappy.

"Mom, that apartment still has three months left on the lease, but renting it out doesn't affect the change of property rights. I've already asked around." Although Zhou Yue felt a bit reluctant, she also knew that the most important thing now was to get Zhang Xiaoli married into the Zhou Family.

As long as she enters the Zhou Family's door, she herself has sacrificed so much, so she must be compensated. Zhang Xiaoli has money; when the time comes, it will depend on her younger brother Zhou Xiaojun's methods.

"That's fine. You take Xiaojun to find Xiaoli this afternoon and get the paperwork done. Your father and I will busy ourselves with getting their marriage settled first, so as to avoid any complications!" Xie Fenglan said with a glare.

"Fine, Mom, I know. I still have to ask for leave from work in a little while; I only took a half-day leave."

"Why are you telling me about this? For such a big matter, just take the leave you need! Aren't you seeing that Liu Haibo? He is a big director at the school; who would dare say anything if you ask for leave?"

After the Zhou Family members finished their discussion, they acted quickly.

On the other side, Zhang Xiaoli, driving the newly purchased 911 sports car, couldn't wait to drive toward No. 6 Courtyard just after finishing her driving training.
