478: Chapter 474: Arrogant First, Respectful Later (Part 2) 478: Chapter 474: Arrogant First, Respectful Later (Part 2) “Five, five hundred thousand?!” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother’s eyes widened, and she exclaimed with her mouth agape.

The next moment, she snatched the jadeite Buddha back into her hands and inspected it carefully.

The more she looked at it, the more she felt that this jadeite Buddha was extraordinary, and she couldn’t help but laugh happily.

Lu Xiaoman’s cheeks reddened slightly; her foster mother’s behavior embarrassed her in front of Ye Fan, but she couldn’t bring herself to stop her.

At this time, Old Lu snapped out of his shock, handed the Rolex gold watch back to Ye Fan, and said, “Ye, this watch is too expensive; I can’t accept it.”

Before Ye Fan could speak, Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother already exclaimed, “Old Lu, what are you thinking?

This is a gift from a future son-in-law, and you’re thinking of returning it!

Are you saying you don’t acknowledge Ye as our future son-in-law?”

Lu Xiaoman’s cheeks burned even hotter, and she wished she could hide in a hole.

Just a moment ago, she had looked down on Ye Fan, and now she was directly calling him son-in-law.

“This, this…” Old Lu was a bit flustered.

Ye Fan smiled and said, “Uncle, please accept it with ease.

Compared to a mere watch, Manman is more than ten thousand times more precious.”

At this time, there was a knock at the door.

It was the waiter, bringing in the food.

Lu Xiaoman’s family composed themselves.

After the waiter left and they began eating, Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother earnestly served Ye Fan a bowl of soup and picked food for him, smiling, “Ye, auntie wronged you before.

I hope you don’t take it to heart.

As parents, who doesn’t wish for their daughter to have a good match?”

“Hehe, Auntie, I understand and don’t hold it against you,” Ye Fan smiled and said, “However, I do have one small request.”

“Say it, say it,” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother urged.

Ye Fan said, “I hope that in the future you won’t introduce any other suitors to Manman.”

“Rest assured, definitely not.

That includes Junjie; I won’t let him set foot in my house anymore,” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother promised.

Although Lu Xiaoman felt a bit embarrassed in front of Ye Fan, the matter seemed to have turned out to everyone’s satisfaction.

An hour later, after finishing the meal, Lu Xiaoman didn’t leave with Ye Fan.

Instead, she drove her foster parents home.

In the car, Lu Xiaoman said, “Mom, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”

“Haha, what is it?” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother was in high spirits, sitting in the back seat carefully playing with the jadeite Buddha, “Is it about when you will marry Ye?”

Lu Xiaoman couldn’t help but say, “Mom, I’ve only been dating Ye Fan for a few months.”

“When the feelings are good, it doesn’t matter how long you’ve been dating.

Some young people get married after just a month,” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother said, “Manman, you have to move quickly and not let other women steal Ye away.”

Ignoring her foster mother’s words, Lu Xiaoman said, “You mustn’t tell anyone about the gifts Ye Fan gave you.”

She had an unspoken sorrow; she didn’t think it possible for her to marry Ye Fan and could only be his mistress.

Although willing to be Ye Fan’s mistress, she was still afraid of gossip.

If her foster mother flaunted the gifts from Ye Fan, it would be like announcing she had a wealthy boyfriend, yet they weren’t marrying.

Then her status as a mistress would be exposed.

“Why not?” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother asked.

Lu Xiaoman explained, “Because wealth should not be flaunted.

Think about it, if you’re carrying a Buddha worth hundreds of thousands every day, and others know about it, wouldn’t they try to steal it?

And even if you don’t wear the Buddha on your person, keeping it at home, if others knew about it, they would still break into our house to steal it.”

“But if we don’t tell anyone, how will they know you’ve found a good husband?” Lu Xiaoman’s foster mother asked.

If she couldn’t show off and brag about it, it was almost like suffocating her.

Having never had any face in her big half of life, now that she could finally have some, how could she not claim it back doubly?

Lu Xiaoman could only scare her by saying, “Mom, do you know?

In Hua Hai city, there are more than a dozen kidnapping and murder cases every year, and the victims are all wealthy people.

Those who can pay a lot of money for ransom are considered lucky, some people are extorted for money and still get killed, the end is extremely tragic.”

Listening to this, Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive mother shuddered, and Old Lu interjected, “Yes, what Manman said is right.

It’s enough for us to live a good life with money, there’s no need to tell everyone about it.”

“Okay, okay,” Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive mother reluctantly agreed, conceding that family safety was far more important than showing off.

She might have become very vain, but she wasn’t crazy.

After sending her adoptive parents back to their apartment building, Lu Xiaoman didn’t go up, but instead directly drove back to the martial arts gym.

Lu Xiaoman didn’t go up, and neither did Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive parents.

“Old Lu, how much money are you carrying?” asked Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive mother.

Old Lu said, “Five hundred.”

“I have two thousand here; together, that should be enough,” Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive mother said.

Old Lu asked in confusion, “Enough for what?

What are you planning to buy?”

“Silly, of course we’re going to the jewelry store to check whether the jade Buddha is real or fake,” Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive mother said, “They claimed it’s worth several hundred thousand; you just believed that?

Maybe Manman and Ye Fan are in cahoots to deceive us!”

An hour later, Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive parents walked out of a large jewelry store, Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive mother with a face beaming with excitement, carefully pressing her hand against her pocket, as if afraid the jade Buddha might get pickpocketed.

Back at home, Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive mother hid the jade Buddha well in her room, then came out and sat in the living room, saying to Old Lu, “Old Lu, from now on, if Junjie wants to visit us, we absolutely cannot let him through the door.

Otherwise, he might ruin Manman and Ye Fan’s relationship.”

“Hmm, I know,” Old Lu responded.

“Humph, I approached Chen Yufen about the matter of Manman and Junjie in the past, and Chen Yufen rejected it right away.

Don’t think I’ve forgotten just because two years have gone by!” Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive mother grumbled about past grievances.

No sooner had she finished speaking than the home’s landline phone rang.

Without needing Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive mother to motion with her mouth, Old Lu consciously went to answer the phone.

After a while, Old Lu covered the mouthpiece, turned his head, and whispered, “It’s Junjie on the phone; he says he wants to come over.

He also asked if Manman is at home.”

“Don’t let him come over!” Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive mother snapped, “Tell him not to call here anymore either.”

“I, I don’t know what to say,” Old Lu said.

Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive mother walked over, snatched the phone, and said, “Junjie, ah.”

“Aunt Gui, hello,” Feng Junjie greeted, trying to please her.

Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive mother said, “Junjie, from now on, don’t come to our place, and don’t call our home either.

Manman likes Ye Fan, and your Uncle Lu and I greatly respect her wishes.

From now on, try not to get involved.”

Having said that, Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive mother immediately hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Feng Junjie’s face turned red and twisted, so angry that he almost smashed his phone.

Today, he had just gotten ready gifts worth several tens of thousands, planning to send them over in a bit to win over Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive parents, while also discussing ways to completely drive away Ye Fan and have Lu Xiaoman marry him.

He had never expected that less than a day later, Lu Xiaoman’s adoptive mother’s attitude would do a complete one-eighty.
