The Crazy Son-In-Law

The saleswoman hesitated for a moment, then smiled wryly and asked, “Sir, are you certain?”

She glanced at the respectable-looking people accompanying Xiao Shun and thought that she might not even bother with them under normal circumstances. It was true that St. Marquet’s economy had developed quite well, but selling a diamond ring worth over three million here was even more difficult than reaching the sky.

Moreover, she had just heard his companions’ assessment of him, which only made her think that he was both pitiable and ridiculous.

“Alright, Mr. Xiao, stop teasing the young lady. She’s busy, and Cen is right beside you. Aren’t you afraid when you get back for flirting with her like this?” Xiao Zhou teased.

He would never believe that someone constantly called a loser by the Liu family could afford a three-million-dollar ring.

“If you can buy a three-million-dollar diamond ring, I’ll streak naked through this mall.” Liu Manqing curled her lips disdainfully.

Liu Miaojin giggled and covered her mouth, “You’re hilarious. Do you even have ten thousand on you?”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Xiao Shun took out a bank card from his pocket, threw it on the counter, and casually said two words: “Use it.”

Yao Cen sat to one side, her exquisitely beautiful face calm and unruffled.

Although she didn’t like competing with them, she still had her pride. She had been humiliated by them for a while now, and it felt awful. Now that Xiao Shun was stepping up to slap their faces, she was getting what she wanted.

The other three people looked at Xiao Shun and Yao Cen’s calm expressions and suddenly felt a little uncertain.

The saleswoman had the same feeling. She hesitated for a moment, then picked up the bank card and asked Xiao Shun, “Sir, are you sure you want to buy this without even trying it on?”

“No need.” Xiao Shun replied indifferently.

The saleswoman solemnly brought over the POS machine, and the moment the card was swiped, her eyes widened in disbelief. Three million had actually been charged!

Xiao Zhou and the others couldn’t help but hold their breaths, watching the scene intently. When they noticed the saleswoman’s expression, they simultaneously furrowed their brows, a thought emerging in their minds.

Could this loser really have three million? How was that possible?

“Sir, here’s your bank card. You can pick up your order at our store in two days,” the saleswoman respectfully handed Xiao Shun’s card back to him.

Boom!

Xiao Zhou and the others were immediately dumbfounded. This was impossible!

But the saleswoman wouldn’t help Xiao Shun lie for no reason, so what was the benefit to her?

After a moment’s pause, Liu Manqing came to her senses and snorted softly.

She looked at Yao Cen with a slightly annoyed expression and said, “Cen, was it necessary? To save face, you deliberately gave money to Xiao Shun so he could take us by surprise? Great strategy. We’re all relatives, and you’re playing these tricks. Is it really necessary? Is a loser like him worth your protection?”

Yao Cen found it so ridiculous that she couldn’t help but laugh.

“You were the one who promised to streak naked, weren’t you? Did I make you bet with him?”

Liu Manqing was speechless, her face flushed with anger. She glared at Xiao Shun and Yao Cen before storming off in a huff.

Xiao Zhou and Liu Miaojin were left with faces alternating between red and white, unable to maintain their composure.

Liu Miaojin looked at the diamond ring on her hand, worth less than two hundred thousand, as if it had suddenly lost its luster.

Two hundred thousand versus three million was a huge gap.

At that moment, Xiao Shun playfully looked at Xiao Zhou and said, “Mr. Xiao, you’re being a bit stingy. An engagement is an important event in your life, and such a small diamond ring won’t do. Why don’t you get a bigger one? Three million is nothing to you, right? My cousin is so beautiful; isn’t she worth spending three million on?”

“You?” Xiao Zhou choked out.

However, facing Liu Miaojin’s burning gaze and feeling his youthful vigor, as well as being a wealthy gentleman, he couldn’t stand this humiliation. He gritted his teeth and asked the saleswoman, “Can I return this one and exchange it for the same one he bought?”

Upon hearing this, the saleswoman was ecstatic. Selling two three-million-dollar diamond rings in one go would not only greatly increase her commission, but it might also secure her the position of store manager. She quickly nodded and replied, “Of course, sir.”

After finishing, she didn’t forget to glance gratefully at Xiao Shun. If it weren’t for him provoking Xiao Zhou, this deal would never have happened. What a good luck.

And so, Xiao Zhou exchanged the ring worth less than two hundred thousand for one worth three million. Surprisingly, he didn’t feel too heartbroken, as he was using someone else’s card.

Naturally, Liu Miaojin was overjoyed. Xiao Zhou not only bought her a two-million-dollar luxury car but also a three-million-dollar diamond ring. Was there any man in the world who loved her more than Xiao Zhou?

The answer was no!

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xiao Shun and Yao Cen shivered at the couple’s public display of affection and hastily left the scene.

The two of them spent the whole morning shopping and went to complete the paperwork for the new car in the afternoon.

Since the new car needed a break-in period, Yao Cen didn’t trust Yao Jianguo to drive it, so she left the old car for Yao Jianguo and Liu Yunxiang, driving the new car with Xiao Shun back to their hotel.

Soft, soothing music flowed gently, and the heater was turned up high. It was December, but the car’s interior felt like early spring.

“Actually, we don’t need a diamond ring to prove our loyalty, right?” Yao Cen said.

“Of course not, but if others have it, my wife must have it too,” Xiao Shun replied solemnly.

“Three million, even though we have money now, we shouldn’t spend it like this,” Yao Cen sighed after a moment of silence.

“Money is just an external thing. As long as you’re happy, it doesn’t matter,” Xiao Shun replied.

“Oh, really? I remember you telling me you gave all your private savings to me. Where did this three million come from?” Yao Cen asked with a smile.

Damn it, he was exposed again!

“Honey, what’s this song? It sounds pretty good…”

…

Over the next few days, the Liu residence was bustling with activity.

Lion and dragon dances, song and dance performances took turns on stage. Yao Cen and her family either stayed at the hotel for some peace or went out for a casual stroll. They suddenly realized that coming early wasn’t a good decision; it would have been more comfortable to stay at home.

Finally, December 30th, the birthday, arrived.

Liu Mingda was 90 years old, highly respected and esteemed. Naturally, there was an endless stream of people coming to celebrate his birthday, including some local “tycoons” and dignitaries.

The Liu family’s birthday banquet was held in their mansion. Although the place wasn’t large, it was more than enough to hold over twenty tables. Even so, it was packed to capacity.

When Yao Cen’s family of four arrived at the Liu family mansion, the entrance was already jammed with various vehicles.

“Cen’s big diamond ring is really dazzling.”

As they approached the entrance, they heard Liu Manqing’s voice from behind, filled with jealousy and resentment.
