Chapter 57: Did I say this?

The ward instantly quieted down.

The smile on Su's mother's face froze, while Su Qingqing stood up directly, blocking in front of Qin Ze.

"Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Su Qingqing's voice carried obvious displeasure.

Aunt Sun Lanhua immediately said in a sharp voice:

"Qin Ze promised clearly back then! For our two families, one car each, and bride price for a house each!"

"And the engagement bride price, added together, it should be around a million, right?"

Her son Su Qiang, a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old young man with dyed yellow hair, also nodded along:

"Brother Qin, my dad and mom have even paid the deposit for the house and car these past few days!"

Qin Ze sat on the chair, crossed his legs, looking at this family of three performing with a calm gaze.

Su's mother couldn't help but speak:

"Big brother, sister-in-law, what are you saying? Xiao Qin spent money to save my life, he is our family's benefactor! How can you still ask for money from him?"

"Sister-in-law, you don't understand this!"

Su Guoqiang had an "it's only right" appearance.

"If Qin Ze truly wants to marry Qingqing, then these are what should be! Our Su family's daughter, how can she be married off casually?"

"Exactly!"

Sun Lanhua interjected.

"Besides, Qingqing's dad left early, we as the uncle and aunt, aren't we the closest people on her maternal side? This marriage, of course, we have to oversee!"

Qin Ze chuckled and finally spoke:

"Uncle Su, you just said, I promised to give your two families bride price, cars, and gifts?"

"Right!" Su Guoqiang's eyes lit up, thinking Qin Ze was going to acknowledge the debt, "You can't go back on your word! We've even paid the deposit!"

"Oh?" Qin Ze raised his eyebrows.

"When did I promise?"

Sun Lanhua hurriedly said:

"Last time! At the hospital! Didn't you say you wanted to marry Qingqing? We even discussed the bride price with you!"

Qin Ze smiled:

"Did I promise?"

He looked at Su Qingqing:

"Qingqing, did I say I wanted to marry you that day?"

Su Qingqing shook her head:

"No."

She looked at Su Guoqiang again:

"Uncle, that day Brother Qin Ze didn't say he wanted to marry me from beginning to end, let alone mention any bride price, house, or car."

"It was you guys who were talking there, Brother Qin Ze didn't speak the whole time."

Su Guoqiang's family of three was stunned.

They only then remembered that day at the hospital, Qin Ze indeed didn't say he agreed from beginning to end.

It was always them arranging things wishfully.

Su Qiang was anxious:

"Qin Ze! You, you are not being kind! We've even paid the deposit! The down payment for the house has been paid!"

Qin Ze looked at him:

"Who told you to pay?"

"Did I tell you to?"

Su Qiang couldn't speak.

Qin Ze said coldly:

"It was your own greed, you went to pay the deposit yourselves, and now you come to ask me for money?"

"When did I promise to give you money?"

"What kind of money am I giving you?"

Sun Lanhua pointed at Qin Ze:

"You, how can you be like this! We are doing this for Qingqing's sake!"

"For Qingqing's sake?" Qin Ze smiled, "If you were truly for Qingqing's sake, when her mother was having surgery, why didn't you pay the surgery fee?"

"When she was at her most difficult, where were you?"

"Now that you hear there's a bargain to be had, you run out?"

He paused:

"Besides, even if I were to give money, it would be to Su Qingqing's mother, give it to you?"

He shook his head:

"Give you a feather's worth of money!"

Su Guoqiang was shaking all over with anger:

"You... actually you are cursing people!"

"So what if I curse you?" Qin Ze looked at him, "I even want to hit you!"

Su Guoqiang's son Su Qiang also became anxious at this time:

"Qin Ze! Don't go too far! We are Qingqing's maternal family!"

"Without my dad and mom's agreement! Don't even think about marrying Qingqing!"

Qin Ze sneered.

"What kind of maternal family are you?"

"Aunt Su was in the hospital waiting for surgery, no one came to pay the surgery fee, now that it's time to talk about marriage, your family stands out, wants to oversee it? And wants me to give you money?"

Su Guoqiang's family was completely stunned.

They didn't expect Qin Ze to be so tough, not giving any face at all.

Su Guoqiang pointed at Qin Ze:

"You, if you don't give money, we will sue you for fraud!"

Qin Ze seemed to have heard some joke, took out his phone:

"Fine, go sue. But I remind you, slander requires legal responsibility."

Su Guoqiang's son Su Qiang calmed down at this time, he knew hard tactics wouldn't work, and started playing the emotional card:

"Qin Ze, don't be angry, we were just joking..."

"We've even paid the deposit and everything! You can't play with us!"

"Joking?" Qin Ze interrupted him, "I think you guys are serious."

"I just want to ask one thing."

Qin Ze walked in front of Su Guoqiang, the distance between the two was less than half a meter.

"Asking me for money, on what basis?"

Su Guoqiang felt his heart go numb being looked at by him, but still hardened his head and said:

"On the basis that we are Qingqing's uncle! Are her maternal family!"

Qin Ze sneered, "Have you raised her for a day? Given her a cent? Aunt Su has been in the hospital for these few months, how many times have you come to see her?"

A series of questions left Su Guoqiang speechless.

Sun Lanhua saw this and hurriedly stepped forward:

"Qin Ze, you can't say it like that! We were..."

"Were what?" Qin Ze interrupted her.

"Busy paying the car deposit? Or busy looking at houses?"

"Or are you saying, you think I, Qin Ze, am stupid and have too much money, easy to bully?"

The air in the ward seemed to freeze.

Su's mother leaned on the bed, looking at her big brother and sister-in-law, her eyes full of disappointment.

After a few seconds, Su Guoqiang took a deep breath, a smile reappearing on his face:

"Qin Ze, look at what you're saying! We are one family, how can we talk about bullying or not bullying?"

He rubbed his hands, ingratiatingly said:

"How about this, the bride price and such, we can discuss it again! The car and house, look if you can pay the deposit money for us first?"

"We borrowed that money, the interest is quite high!"

"Exactly, Qin Ze!"

Sun Lanhua also hurriedly said.

"Aren't we doing this for Qingqing's sake too? Only by asking for a bride price will you cherish her! This is the rule!"

Qin Ze was plain-faced,

"Who set the rule?"

He looked at Su Qingqing:

"Qingqing, I ask you, are we boyfriend and girlfriend now?"

Su Qingqing was stunned for a moment, then shook her head:

"No."

Qin Ze turned to look at Su Guoqiang's family:

"Did you hear that? We aren't even boyfriend and girlfriend, let alone talking about marriage. Where do you get the confidence to ask me for bride price?"

Su Guoqiang's family was completely stunned.

He pointed at the door:

"Now, immediately, right now, get out."

Su Guoqiang still wanted to say something, but Qin Ze had already pressed the call button on the bed.

Soon, a nurse walked in.

"What's wrong?"

Qin Ze pointed at Su Guoqiang's family:

"These few people are harassing the patient, please ask them to leave."

The nurse looked at the situation in the ward and immediately understood.

"Everyone, please leave, the patient needs to rest."

Su Guoqiang was anxious:

"Nurse, we are the patient's family!"

The nurse had a straight face:

"Family members won't do either. The patient needs quiet rest, your noisy behavior will affect the patient's recovery."

Su Guoqiang still wanted to argue, but the nurse had already taken out the intercom:

"Security, come to ward 302 once."

Su Guoqiang panicked now, pulling his wife and son:

"Go, go, go! We're leaving!"

The three of them slunk out of the ward.

Walking to the door, Su Guoqiang even turned back to glare at Qin Ze:

"You wait! This matter isn't over!"

Qin Ze didn't even pay attention to him.

After the door closed, the ward quieted down.

Su's mother leaned on the bed, tears flowing down:

"Xiao Qin, sorry... let you see a joke..."

"Aunt, don't say that." Qin Ze walked back to the bedside.

"This kind of person, if you don't teach them a lesson properly, they really won't know how high the sky is and how thick the earth is."

Chatting with Su Qingqing's mother for a while, and explaining things to the people at the sanatorium!

Qin Ze then took Su Qingqing and said goodbye!

On the way back to the hotel, Qin Ze drove, Su Qingqing sat in the passenger seat.

Su Qingqing said:

"From today on, this private secretary of yours can officially start work." ===== CHAPTER 58 =====
