Chapter 641: Full of Jealousy

At this moment, Xiao Churan felt a twinge of jealousy in her heart.

She speculated that Song Wanting must have a favorable impression of her husband, Ye Chen.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to look at her husband with such eyes.

This made Xiao Churan suddenly realize that she and her husband seemed far from intimate enough, and it was precisely because of this that a certain distance existed between them.

This distance was particularly easy for a third party to intrude upon.

If the relationship between two people were particularly close and intimate, with their hearts tightly knit together, it would naturally be impossible to leave any gap for a third party to exploit.

Thinking of this, an unprecedented impulse suddenly surged in her heart.

Just then, Ye Chen saw that she was still dazed and hurriedly said to her, "Wife, we must leave quickly, otherwise we will be late."

Only then did Xiao Churan come back to her senses. She nodded unnaturally and hurriedly said, "Then let's go quickly!"

Song Wanting accompanied the three of them out of the shop door, and only after watching them get into the car did she return to the shop with reluctance.

Ye Chen started the limited-edition Bugatti Veyron and drove toward the Hilton Hotel.

At this very moment, in the banquet hall of the Hilton Hotel, a man wearing a well-fitted suit with a groom's corsage pinned to his chest was anxiously checking the time.

Standing next to him was a woman in her fifties with a somewhat cold expression. The woman said with an angry look, "Hongwei, isn't that Zhang Xiaoman too ill-bred? What time is it now? She still hasn't arrived; it's clear she doesn't take our family seriously at all!"

Sun Hongwei hurriedly explained, "Mom, it's not like you don't know that Xiaoman's family lives in Wuhe County, which is dozens of kilometers away! I said I would drive over to pick her up, but you insisted on not letting me go and even confiscated my phone. Xiaoman's family doesn't have a car either, so who knows how she's going to get here now. Why don't you give me back my phone so I can contact her!"

"Contact my foot!" Sun Hongwei's mother said coldly. "She hasn't even crossed our threshold yet, and she's already so inconsiderate, not taking others seriously at all. If she were to cross our threshold, would we even be able to live our lives?"

As she spoke, she showed a look of disdain and spat, "I told you long ago not to marry a girl from such a poor family, but you wouldn't listen. No money means no breeding. Are you trying to piss me to death by bringing such an ill-bred person into our home?"

Sun Hongwei's expression was somewhat ugly, but he dared not directly defy his mother. After all, his mother's authoritarianism in the family was very strong, and even his father couldn't afford to provoke her.

At this time, Sun Hongwei's mother said again, "Let me tell you, Hongwei, all our relatives have arrived today, and everyone is waiting to see this poor wife you've found. If this Zhang Xiaoman doesn't arrive before 9:20, then I, as the mother-in-law, will definitely be laughed at by all the relatives!"

"By then, I see no need for you to get married either. Let Zhang Xiaoman go and abort the child, or I'll give her 200,000, and she can give birth to the child for our Sun family!"

"Mom!" Sun Hongwei said with a very depressed expression, "Xiaoman is about to cross the threshold now, why do you still have to make things difficult for her?"

Sun Hongwei's mother said disdainfully, "I'm telling you, if she dares to cross the threshold, I will make things difficult for her for the rest of my life. Her bitter days have only just begun."

On the side, Sun Hongwei's father also spoke up, "Hongwei, you really should listen to your mother and me on this matter. Nowadays, marriage emphasizes social standing. Our Sun family can't be called a wealthy and powerful family, but at least we are a wealthy household with tens of millions in assets. Among our relatives and friends, our family is doing the best. If you listen to me and find another wealthy young lady who is on par with our family or even wealthier, then our family's strength within the Sun clan will be even more outstanding."

Having said this, his father sighed with a face full of regret, "You disobedient child, why couldn't you find any other woman? You just had to find a woman whose family is so poor. By then, our family will be laughed to death by these relatives and friends!"

Sun Hongwei was in extreme pain. His feelings for Zhang Xiaoman were naturally sincere. The two had been together since their university days, and for all these years, they had never quarreled or bickered, always loving and cherishing each other. Among so many classmates back then, who knows how many envied their extremely stable relationship.

In his heart, if he and Zhang Xiaoman could receive the family's blessing and live a good life together, he would definitely become the happiest man in the world.

But he couldn't understand why his parents had to obstruct his marriage in so many ways.

Although Zhang Xiaoman was not a child from a wealthy family, she was indeed a rare and good girl.

It was just a pity that his snobbish parents couldn't see Zhang Xiaoman's merits at all.

They only felt that Zhang Xiaoman's family had no money or power, so they looked down on her from the bottom of their hearts and didn't want her to cross the threshold.

No matter how he tried to persuade or beg them, they were still unwilling to change their original intention.

Even now, when Zhang Xiaoman was already carrying his flesh and blood, they were still full of disdain for her, which made Sun Hongwei feel very painful deep in his heart.

He even thought that if his parents really didn't approve of or support his marriage, he might as well take Zhang Xiaoman far away after the wedding.

At this very moment, there were less than five minutes left until the 9:20 deadline.

Zhang Xiaoman still hadn't appeared.

Sun Hongwei couldn't help but worry. He was worried whether Zhang Xiaoman's parents had stopped her and wouldn't let her marry into his family.

At this time, Sun Hongwei's mother, with a face full of smugness, whispered to her husband, "In my opinion, the Zhang family couldn't possibly let Zhang Xiaoman marry over. After all, we didn't give them a single cent, and we didn't even go to pick up the bride. It can be said that we gave their family absolutely no face. Since her parents can't get a cent from us and have been slapped in the face by us like this, they definitely won't let her marry Hongwei. So I guess today is just a big show to make Hongwei give up."

Sun Hongwei's father said with some heartache, "Then the cost of this big show is too high. Dozens of tables at the Hilton, plus the wedding planning and so on, we've spent four or five hundred thousand."

Sun Hongwei's mother raised her eyebrows and said, "What's four or five hundred thousand? As long as I can get my son away from that poor woman, I'd be willing to spend a million!"

As she spoke, she lowered her voice a few notches and said excitedly, "Let me tell you, Sister Lu told me that Xue Zong's daughter returned to the country some time ago, and she broke up with her foreign boyfriend. Xue Zong's wife is just saying she wants to find a partner for her in Jin Ling. If our son could be with Xue Zong's daughter, how much help would that be to our family!"

Sun Hongwei's father frowned and said, "I've heard people say that Xue Zong's daughter's previous foreign boyfriend was a black man. Is it a bit... for our son to take over?"

"What of it?" Sun Hongwei's mother blurted out, "The most important thing is that if we can become in-laws with Xue Zong, our future business will definitely be easier to do! Making money is what's most important!" ===== CHAPTER 642 =====
