Capítulo 1224: Chapter 1224: Playing Along
Upon hearing his words, Ye Xuan’s lips curled into a mocking smile, and he retorted coldly, “The matter hasn’t even been settled yet, and you’re already jumping to say all this. Are you worried I can’t afford the bride price? Isn’t this a bit too money-minded?”
As soon as these words fell, the crowd imdiately erupted with echoes of agreent.
“Exactly, you shaless fatso, saying that isn’t decent at all. Who is Ye Xuan? With his status, he wouldn’t lack the bride price for us, right?”
Soone imdiately reprimanded the fat man while suitably flattering Ye Xuan.
It may seem like praise, but it was essentially putting him on a pedestal — it would be embarrassing not to give the Liu family the bride price with this public face.
“That’s right, fatty, why are you in such a rush? Really shows no discernnt at all. Wanting the bride price directly from Ye Xuan? Can’t you think about it? Ye Xuan doesn’t even fear the Wang family. Just how high is his status? Would he care about this little bride price? Needless to say, he’ll definitely take care of us from the Liu family. I think you’re overthinking it!”
Another person stepped forward to criticize.
“Fatty, you really have the essence of a sly rchant, no wonder you’re so money-minded. Didn’t you see Ye Xuan dared to confront the Wang family to save little Ying and almost lost his life there? Yet, you still have the nerve to ask for a bride price? How can you even say that? Do you have any conscience left?”
At this mont, the fat man who had incited public rage imdiately beca the target of condemnation.
The fat man being criticized bowed his head with an embarrassed look.
“Yes, yes, everyone is right to teach . I was too rash with my words! How could I ask Ye Xuan for a bride price? Really shouldn’t have! I’m such a bastard! I apologize, I reflect, I’ll go back… no, I’ll seriously criticize myself right now and admit my mistake to Ye Xuan.”
As he spoke, the fat man turned to Ye Xuan, bowed apologetically, and seed sincerely regretful: “Ye Xuan, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault! Said so unpleasant words, please don’t take it to heart, just think of my words as nothing…”
Ye Xuan observed coldly as people perford before him, sneering internally.
Yet, he didn’t bother to expose them, lazily waved his hand, and said, “Alright, no need to apologize, actually your words weren’t wrong! Since I want to marry your Liu family’s daughter into my ho as my wife, I should give you a bride price!”
“However, the business resources and connections you ntioned, I’m afraid I can’t provide them, since I don’t mix in the business field! But I do often hang around the farm, if you don’t mind, I can bring so fresh agricultural products from my farm, they’re all natural, pollution-free vegetables you can’t buy on the street, guaranteed to be delicious for you.”
Pfft!
Upon hearing this, Liu Ying couldn’t hold back and laughed straight out.
But, as soon as she started laughing, she realized this was a serious occasion, better to be more solemn! To avoid idle gossip, she quickly shut her mouth.
“Haha, haha… Ye Xuan, didn’t expect you’re also quite a humorous person.”
The fat man’s mouth twitched, and he forced a smile awkwardly before sitting back down.
“So everyone, no need to worry too much. Since Ye Xuan is now our Liu family’s son-in-law, he will more or less take care of us! Even if he doesn’t take care of the Liu family, he owes us nothing. Alright, today’s eting ends here, everyone go back now.”
When no one spoke up, Liu Wudi stood up and wrapped things up with a smile, announcing the eting’s conclusion.
So people with thoughts wanted to say sothing, but seeing Liu Wudi end the eting, it wasn’t appropriate, and they all rose and left.
Originally, these people wanted to cozy up to Ye Xuan after the eting, but that incident made everyone slightly embarrassed, so no one wanted to make a fool of themselves and gave up the idea.
Similarly, Ye Xuan had no interest in dealing with these people, and as soon as the eting ended, he pulled Liu Ying’s small hand and followed Liu Wudi out of the eting room.
The three of them returned on their way back to the residence.
Rembering those people’s faces just now, Liu Ying couldn’t hold back anymore, clutching her abdon and laughing, much to Ye Xuan’s annoyance.
“Little Ying, why are you laughing like that?” Ye Xuan asked in confusion.
“Haha, just thinking of that funny performance by those people, it’s really amusing, I never noticed they had such a talent for acting!”
Liu Ying laughed for a while before restraining herself, trying not to laugh.
“Haha, I think so too, people who don’t know would think they rehearsed it ahead of ti.” Ye Xuan chuckled lightly.
Liu Wudi chid in at this ti: “Ye Xuan, don’t take it too seriously, just listen to it as a joke.”
“I naturally won’t mind.”
Ye Xuan smiled and shook his head, then pondered for a mont before speaking, “However, their words reminded , during this period, it seems I need to help little Ying achieve sothing! Otherwise, it will be difficult for her to gain support in this Liu family in the future…”
Ye Xuan can ignore those people, but Liu Ying is different, once she takes control of the Liu family in the future, she’ll have to deal with these people, and the key elent is gaining their support.
If there aren’t absolute benefits to earn their loyalty, even if Liu Ying becos the family head of the Liu family, it will be challenging for her to control the Liu family! Therefore, Ye Xuan decides to help Liu Ying make so achievents quickly to let these power-seeking people see enough benefits that they will willingly support Liu Ying.
Liu Ying said, “Alright, big man, leave these matters to , no need to worry about ! I must stand on my own, can’t rely on you for everything, or you’ll be too overwheld? Plus, this is when one’s ability is tested, if I achieve results relying on you and not myself, it’s hard to truly be recognized.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan shook his head, wrapped an arm around Liu Ying’s slender waist, and said, “You can rely on yourself, but you can’t rely on yourself for everything! How could I feel at ease with that?”
“Hehe, people say rely on oneself, but didn’t say not needing your help! When the ti cos, I’ll certainly turn to my big man for help without hesitation.”
“Alright, since you said so, I can only agree.”
Ye Xuan nodded helplessly, gently tapping Liu Ying’s smooth forehead, and said kindly, “But don’t overexert yourself, when you face unsolvable issues, don’t force yourself, leave them to your husband to handle, it’s not so embarrassing to do that! Got it?”
“Husband, I know!”
Liu Ying smiled broadly, then stood on tiptoe and kissed Ye Xuan on the cheek with pursed lips.
“Cough cough… you two kids, there’s an old man here, at least pay so attention to your image!”
Liu Wudi coughed awkwardly, shaking his head helplessly.
“Hehe! Alright, alright, Dad, we’ll listen to you, we’ll be affectionate when we return.”
Liu Ying playfully laughed, making a face at Liu Wudi before pulling Ye Xuan towards the villa: “Big man, we’re going back!”
“Wife, I’ll carry you back.”
After running a few steps, Ye Xuan stopped, gathered Liu Ying into his arms, and like stepping on wind and fire wheels, they were gone in a flash.
Watching the disappearing backs of the two, Liu Wudi sighed inwardly and said, “Ah, youth is wonderful…”
