Chapter 1605: Cannot Be Dragged Down

Flying Speed Chinese.

Lu Fei's mother understood this time.

She could forgo the bride price, but she could not watch her daughter jump into a fire pit!

Thus, she also hesitated.

"Let's go, we'll talk about it back home."

The man pulled her along as they left.

Shi Youxuan blocked their path: "Are you just leaving like this?"

"If we don't leave, what do you want? I don't have any extra money to help your family pay off external debts, not a single cent!" The man looked vigilant, as if afraid of being latched onto by her.

Shi Youxuan smiled: "You are overthinking it. I mean, since you don't want to be relatives, it would be better to make things clearer, so that we don't drag you down in the future."

"Feifei and Litian are in love; she won't listen to you, and they won't break up."

"Why don't we sign an agreement? From now on, regardless of whether the two children make it or not, you will have no such relatives as us. We will have no further contact until we die, and we will never interact again..."

"Fine, draft the agreement, I'll sign." He agreed very readily.

That stubborn girl Lu Feifei was very headstrong.

Once she set her mind on something, not even eight horses could pull her back!

She feared that no matter who opposed it, it would be useless; the stubborn girl was determined to jump into the fire pit. If she wanted to jump, let her jump. As long as their family didn't get any benefits, that was fine, but they absolutely must not be dragged down.

Lu Fei's mother was still a bit hesitant at first, feeling it wasn't quite right.

But her husband whispered in her ear: "Sign it! If your daughter has a hard time in the future, how much can you help her with? If we are dragged down by their whole family, we will be dragged to our deaths."

Only then did she sign the drafted agreement.

The third day.

The couple from the Lu Family came again.

It was still because of the bride price.

The young stepmother got straight to the point: "A stepmother is still a mother. If your family can't come up with a bride price, I certainly won't agree. If I don't agree, they can't get married; the household registration is in my hands."

"I don't believe your family can't come up with more, can't you come up with ten million?"

Shi Youxuan shook her head: "We can't. Let alone ten million, we don't even have ten thousand. Feifei said she didn't want a bride price."

The young stepmother was furious: "What she says doesn't count. Our family worked hard to raise her so big, it is absolutely not okay to have no bride price at all."

It would be one thing if there were no bride price, but there were also external debts. That girl was a fool, willing to help others pay off money.

But they still had a son, and the son hadn't been raised yet.

The young stepmother was counting on the money from selling Lu Feifei to build up their fortune and marry a wife for her son in the future. In any case, without a bride price, she would not agree to this marriage no matter what.

Shi Youxuan spread her hands: "Since that's the case, tell Feifei to break up with him."

Lu Fei's father felt he couldn't lose face; they should at least haggle a bit, right?

With nothing at all, not giving a single cent, did they think his daughter was worthless?

He called his daughter on the spot: "Feifei, break up with that boy from the Sheng Family immediately. His family has no sincerity at all."

Lu Feifei was almost moved to tears by anxiety.

She and Litian had finally managed to be together, and now that the groom's family agreed, her own father had jumped out to oppose it again as expected.

Her attitude was very firm: "You haven't cared about me for all these years, so why should I listen to you? You have no say in this; I am going to be with him."

"You stubborn girl, did you grow up on thin air because I didn't care for you? Stop the nonsense. I told you to break up, so break up. Then find a rich son-in-law so you can live in luxury later. The Sheng Family is poor now; if you follow him, you will suffer poverty for a lifetime..."

"I am willing; that is my business."

Lu Fei's father threatened his daughter: "If you insist on acting willfully, we can only sever our relationship."

Lu Feifei was not polite at all and retorted: "Didn't you already sever the relationship with me long ago? Why are you still talking about it now?"

"How dare you talk to me like that? I am your father. You have no sense of seniority or respect. Our family doesn't have a daughter like you, you ungrateful wretch..."

Lu Fei's father was trembling with rage.

Deep down, he was not only biased toward sons over daughters, but his male chauvinism was also very severe.

He believed he could treat his daughter poorly, but his daughter could not talk back to him. Talking back was being rebellious and unfilial!

Especially in front of the Sheng Family, his daughter should be on his side and listen to him. Now that she wasn't, he couldn't stand it.

Lu Fei's father flew into a rage and scolded his daughter from head to toe.

After he finished scolding and felt satisfied, Shi Youxuan handed over the agreement: "Feifei sent a fax, an agreement to sever the father-daughter relationship, for you to sign!"

His wife pulled him and whispered: "Don't sign it. If you sign this agreement, there will be no way to demand a bride price."

When they came, the two of them had already discussed it at home. Even if the Sheng Family had no money, it would be good to get their Villa in the city center.

That Villa was worth tens of millions; they could get it, sell it, and keep the money for their son to marry a wife.

The Sheng Family had several sons, and they were all grown up. If they didn't take it back, someone else would, and they would be the ones at a loss.

However, plans could not keep up with changes!

They had discussed it well at home, but as soon as they arrived at the Sheng Family and hadn't said a few words, they started clashing. Why bring up severing the relationship for no reason?

The young stepmother didn't want to sever the relationship at this time, so she wouldn't let her husband sign.

Lu Fei's father was easily swayed, but he was also concerned about his face. Usually, he listened to his wife, but today he didn't want to!

The conversation had already reached this point; if he didn't sign this, he wouldn't be able to save face.

He ignored his wife and prepared to sign the agreement!

After signing, the relationship would be completely severed. The young stepmother was anxious; she snatched the agreement and tore it into pieces in a few swift motions.

"Sign what? You can't sign it. Can blood ties be severed just by a piece of paper? It cannot be severed."

Lu Fei's father had a way out, so he took it.

Sheng Hanyu frowned slightly.

He was just about to shake off future trouble, but it failed at the critical moment.

Could Lu Feifei's young stepmother be shrewder than her stepfather?

She didn't look like it.

She shouldn't be able to tell that their family's bankruptcy was fake.

Sheng Hanyu was not good at this kind of situation; Shi Youxuan would have to step in.

She took the young stepmother's arm and said affectionately, "In-law, the Lu Family still relies on you to be sensible and righteous; you are much better than Feifei's biological mother..."

"She came over yesterday too, and for fear that our family's external debts would drag them down, she took the initiative to sign an agreement to sever ties with us. They are not as good as you; they wouldn't even sign when asked..."

The young stepmother interrupted her: "They took the initiative to sign an agreement to sever ties? Why?"

"Of course it's because they were afraid our family's external debts would implicate them! Don't worry, the debts are our own and won't implicate anyone!"

"Wait a minute!"

The more Shi Youxuan said it wouldn't implicate them, the more worried she became: "Will your family's external debts implicate us?"

She only wanted money from the Sheng Family and had never thought that the Sheng Family's external debts might have anything to do with them!

"Of course, we are in-laws; we prosper together and suffer together."

After Shi Youxuan finished speaking, she immediately covered her mouth.

A moment later, she explained: "It won't, it won't have anything to do with you."

The young stepmother still wouldn't give up: "We only want the betrothal gift, nothing else. Just give me your Villa in the city center; I'm not greedy, how about it?"

"Sure."
