(Part 3) 474: Chapter 470: Lu Xiaoman’s Childhood Sweetheart?

(Part 3) “Ouch, why did you twist me?” Before Old Lu could finish speaking, he felt a pain in his waist, involuntarily flinched, and turned his head to call out to Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother.

Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother was infuriated by his reaction.

Ye Fan, overhearing this, couldn’t help but turn to look at Lu Xiaoman.

Listening to Lu Xiaoman’s foster parents, it seemed they hardly considered Feng Junjie’s family as outsiders.

Once they stayed over the night, it could happen a second time, a third time…

wouldn’t that make them practically family?

Lu Xiaoman’s eyebrows furrowed, clearly displeased.

However, it was indeed too late now, and she couldn’t forcefully send Feng Junjie’s family away anymore.

Under the stern gaze of Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother, Old Lu completely quieted down and stopped speaking.

Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother turned to look at Feng Junjie, then at Ye Fan—one dressed in a suit looking handsome and sharp, the other in ordinary clothes barely handsome, one fully understood with a degree from a well-known university and working in a Fortune 500 company, owning cars worth a hundred thousand or two, the other a mystery and merely driving an old, low-grade car.

Upon comparison, she already had a notion in her mind.

She turned to Lu Xiaoman and waved, calling, “Manman, come here.”

“Mom, what is it?” Lu Xiaoman asked, puzzled.

“Just come here when I call you,” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother said.

Lu Xiaoman had no choice but to walk over and sit next to her foster mother.

Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother discreetly grabbed Lu Xiaoman’s hand and said, “You’re coming back from work this late, don’t do this again in the future.”

“Okay, got it,” Lu Xiaoman replied.

“If you must stay late again next time, call A’Jie to pick you up,” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother added, “That would make mom feel better.”

Lu Xiaoman immediately protested, “Mom—”

Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother raised her hand to stop her from speaking and turned to Ye Fan, “Ye Fan, thank you for bringing Manman home so late.

But from now on, you won’t need to trouble yourself, as someone is already arranged to pick her up.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Junjie’s family all smiled.

Feng Junjie, in particular, looked provocatively at Ye Fan and sneered disdainfully.

“Auntie, I don’t agree with that,” Ye Fan calmly shook his head.

Then, pointing at Feng Junjie, he said, “This must be the ‘A’Jie’ you mentioned.

I don’t know what he and Manman were before, but I am clear that Manman is now my girlfriend.

How could my girlfriend have someone else pick her up late at night?”

Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother replied coldly, “Ye Fan, are you really unable to understand or pretending not to?”

“I absolutely understand,” Ye Fan said calmly, “Even though you are Manman’s mom, the fact that Manman and I are together is the reality.”

“Hmph!” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother snorted heavily, “I don’t approve!

You also don’t look at what you are, worthy of my daughter Manman?”

Since moving into the new house, Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother had become more conceited, and to her, someone who looked as ordinary as Ye Fan was definitely unworthy of notice.

“Mom, how can you say that?” Lu Xiaoman urgently called out.

At that moment, Feng Junjie’s mother sneeringly said, “Some people really are thick-skinned.

Do you know what relationship Manman has with my A’Jie?

Childhood sweethearts!

Their affection is deep!

Those with a clue would leave quickly.”

Lu Xiaoman tried to return to Ye Fan’s side but was firmly held back by her foster mother and foster father.

Ye Fan said to Lu Xiaoman, “Manman, just sit comfortably.

I’ll handle this.”

Then, he addressed Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother, “There’s no matter of being worthy or not, only whether the feelings are mutual and deep.”

“Don’t talk to me about feelings; they are all false!

Given Manman’s circumstances, there are plenty of men who love her,” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother said sternly, her face dark, “I cannot allow my daughter to marry you!

You should leave, our home doesn’t welcome you!”

“As for feelings, the feelings between my A’Jie and Manman are profound.

They grew up playing together, went to school together, and have been in tune with each other for a long time,” Feng Junjie’s mother interjected, “Speaking of excellence, my A’Jie graduated from a prestigious university and is now working in a top 500 global company.

He’s even part of the management now, earning hundreds of thousands in his youth!

Look at you, dressed up in such a poor manner, you’re just a worthless low-level white-collar worker!”

Ye Fan ignored Feng Junjie’s mother’s sarcastic remarks and continued addressing Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother, “Love is always the most genuine, whereas money can always be earned.

What you refer to as qualifications is probably just money, right?”

“Exactly!

Without one million, no, three million, you simply aren’t suitable to be with my daughter!” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother stated, face still stern.

Ye Fan couldn’t help but laugh, “So, you’re saying the dowry you desire is three million.

That’s easy, I can give you thirty million as dowry.

After that, please don’t interfere in my and Manman’s relationship.”

“What nonsense are you spouting?!” Feng Junjie immediately couldn’t stay still, jumping up and shouting, “Do you think thirty million is easy money?

If you had thirty million, would you be dressed like that?”

Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother looked at Ye Fan with a mocking gaze; she didn’t believe Ye Fan could produce thirty million at all, not to mention his ordinary attire, she had even seen the car Ye Fan drove.

She might not know much about cars, but she could tell at a glance that Ye Fan’s second-hand Citroën wasn’t presentable at all.

“If you can bring thirty million, I absolutely won’t interfere!” she was sure Ye Fan didn’t have that kind of money.

“Mom, don’t be this way!” Lu Xiaoman protested.

She didn’t doubt that Ye Fan couldn’t bring out thirty million, but her foster mother’s actions embarrassed her immensely, making her feel utterly disgraced.

How was this any different from selling their daughter?

Yet, could her feelings for Ye Fan be bought off with thirty million?

Her saying this only confirmed everyone’s belief that Ye Fan obviously couldn’t bring forth thirty million, let alone even three million.

“Manman, don’t you dare interrupt!

You are my daughter, whom I’ve raised through hard work.

You must listen to me; there’s no room for negotiation!” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother harshly declared, “Do you think life is all about love and affection?!”

After scolding Lu Xiaoman, she turned to Ye Fan and said coldly, “When you bring thirty million, then you can pursue Manman!

If you try to contact Manman privately without bringing thirty million, even if you later bring three hundred million, I will never let Manman marry you!”

“Now, you can leave!”

Ye Fan nodded, stood up, and said, “I do indeed need to leave.

But, shouldn’t these people also be leaving?”

Though his request was unreasonable, how could he possibly watch as a supposed childhood sweetheart of Lu Xiaoman stayed over at Lu Xiaoman’s house?

“Who do you think you are?

It’s not your place to tell us whether we should leave or not!” Feng Junjie’s mother stood up, pointing at Ye Fan, and yelled.

Feng Junjie also shouted, “Whether Aunt Gui wants us to stay over is not for an outsider like you to say!”
