Chapter 1600: The Bizarre In-Laws

Fast Chinese.

But more than that, there was worry.

Her father and that woman had another child.

It was a boy; the real reason for her father and mother's divorce was actually a preference for sons over daughters!

But this was hard to say out loud, so back then, her father looked for faults in her mother, picking fights all day long. Later, Lu Fei had an affair; although it was wrong, it had a lot to do with not receiving warmth at home.

Her father's house had long since ceased to be her home; her young stepmother was obsessed with money and had been scheming against Lu Feifei.

Just as she started working, her father, who hadn't been in touch for a long time, contacted her to ask for money.

If they knew she was getting engaged to a young master of the Sheng Family, who knows how greedily they would open their mouths!

Her mother had also started a new family and later gave birth to a half-brother for her. Her stepfather's business had gone bankrupt, and they were living hand-to-mouth.

Her mother wouldn't take her money proactively, but her stepfather was also a person skilled at maneuvering.

If he knew the in-laws were the Sheng Family, there was no telling what kind of trouble he might stir up.

Lu Feifei couldn't help but be afraid.

She didn't want them to meet such parents, but she couldn't avoid it either; her little face was flushed red from holding it all in.

Seeing that her words still couldn't put her at ease, Shi Youxuan smiled and said nothing.

This child had changed, she was different from before, but she was still young, and youth meant a lack of experience.

She didn't know that in many matters, hiding was useless!

Sometimes you simply cannot avoid things, so it is better to charge forward and take the initiative into your own hands.

Shi Youxuan said, "It's settled then. I will arrange the time and place for the meeting. You are both quite busy with work, so there's no need for you to go back."

When Shi Youxuan returned, she gave Lu Feifei a Gold-Inlaid Jade Jade Bracelet.

It was exquisitely crafted and exceptionally beautiful; regardless of the material of the Jade Bracelet, the craftsmanship alone was worth a fortune.

However, it looked a bit familiar?

She remembered; she had seen Gu Yuxin wearing one that was almost identical.

At the time, she had liked it immensely, thinking that this bracelet must be very expensive. Gu Yuxin came from a well-off family, so it wasn't strange for her to buy expensive jewelry, but she wondered how long she would have to work to own one just like it?

She hadn't expected that the bracelet she liked would suddenly be right in front of her.

Lu Feifei was very afraid of leaving a greedy impression on her future mother-in-law. Although she liked it very much, she refused to accept it: "I can't take this, it's too valuable."

"What's valuable about it? It's just a meeting gift. Yuxin has one too, you each have one. In the future, the wives of Zirui, Zihan, and the others will have them too. I prepared four, one for each, and they are all exactly the same."

"Really?"

Litian nudged her quietly, thinking, have you gone silly with joy?

Does this kind of thing even need to be questioned?

"Really." Shi Youxuan nodded and personally put the bracelet on her wrist; the size was perfect, as if it had been custom-made.

When Father Lu received the call from Shi Youxuan and learned that his daughter was dating the second son of the Sheng Family and was about to get engaged, he was stunned for a moment and couldn't react.

Is this real?

Why did it feel so unreal?

But his young wife was incredibly excited; she snatched the phone and said affectionately to Shi Youxuan, "In-law, we will definitely arrive on time, on time!"

She hung up the phone.

She then called her stepdaughter, her attitude extremely enthusiastic: "Feifei, you are amazing, you actually climbed the high branch of the Sheng Family. I've thought highly of you since you were little; you really didn't let us down..."

Lu Feifei was very impatient: "Do you have anything important? If you have something to say, say it; if not, I'm hanging up. I still have a lot of assignments to grade, I'm very busy."

Fearing she would hang up, the little stepmother hurriedly said, "I do have something! How much betrothal gift did they say they would give?"

Lu Feifei's face turned cold, and she warned: "Don't you dare have any designs on me. Marriage is my business, it has nothing to do with you, and don't you think about extorting the Sheng Family."

"I don't intend to ask for a betrothal gift, and even if I did, you wouldn't get a single cent. Didn't you say when you kicked me out back then? From then on, whatever happens to me has nothing to do with you."

The little stepmother denied it: "I didn't say that, we didn't say such things. It was you who were too stubborn, thinking your wings were hardened and you didn't need us to look after you just because you didn't go to college. Actually, we have always been thinking of you in our hearts..."

"The money saved from your college tuition back then, your father has been saving it for you, keeping it as your dowry. How could we not care about you at all?"

"Blood is thicker than water; besides, you are father and daughter, how could it have nothing to do with you?"

She was talking complete nonsense.

The Lu Family hadn't saved any dowry for Lu Feifei at all; all the money in the house was kept for her own son.

Now that her stepdaughter had found a young master from a wealthy family, she was just saying it casually, just to sound nice.

The person saying it didn't take it seriously, and the person listening didn't take it seriously either. Lu Feifei silently hung up the phone.

But soon, a strange number called in again.

She didn't want to answer, so it just kept ringing!

Litian said, "Just answer it, you can't hide from it anyway."

Lu Feifei answered, and the little stepmother's voice immediately filled her eardrums: "The signal was bad just now, the call dropped before I finished speaking..." She was quite good at finding excuses.

Having found an excuse, the little stepmother got back to the point, asking the question she wanted to ask most: "Feifei, the Sheng Family is so rich, the betrothal gift should be at least a few hundred million, right?"

"Heh."

Lu Feifei was angered into a laugh. She really dared to open her mouth wide, asking for hundreds of millions right off the bat?

"Are you poor-crazy?"

She retorted unceremoniously: "Don't talk about hundreds of millions, I won't give you even a few dollars. Let my father answer the phone."

The little stepmother was unwilling, but although she really wanted to curse this dead girl for being ungrateful and forgetting everyone once she climbed a high branch, she couldn't afford to offend her now; it wasn't the time to tear off the mask yet.

Father Lu took the phone, and Lu Feifei said to him: "If you still consider me your daughter, please have some self-respect when you see the Sheng Family, and don't go asking them for money."

Father Lu felt guilty toward his daughter, so he agreed: "Mm, I'll listen to you."

Although he promised well, his word didn't count, and he was extremely easily swayed, thinking everyone who spoke to him made sense.

It didn't take long before he was coaxed by his young wife into changing his mind again.

……

Mother Lu was also very happy that her daughter could marry into the Sheng Family.

Being a mother is still different from being a father; although she knew the Sheng Family was wealthy, she didn't lose herself in money, but instead asked her daughter: "What is the character of the second young master of the Sheng Family like?"

"Don't just look at the surface; for a man, having a sense of responsibility is the most important thing."

Her mother still cared about her, and Lu Feifei felt very warm inside.

She told her mother about the bits and pieces of their relationship, and Mother Lu beamed with joy, exclaiming: "That's wonderful, my daughter has suffered enough and is finally going to live a good life..."

"Although Litian is a good person, you must also keep your wits about you and keep money in your own hands; no matter how good a man is, he cannot be relied upon, you can only rely on yourself."
