833: Chapter 833: Exorbitant Dowry!

Scam!

833: Chapter 833: Exorbitant Dowry!

Scam!

A million or so?

And that’s considered “not bad”?

That would equate to at least a hundred thousand in sales per day, otherwise, where would tens of thousands in pure profit come from?

Such astonishing profit had indeed slightly shifted the expressions of this middle-aged couple.

“Oh my!

Doesn’t that mean making over twenty million a year?”

The middle-aged woman couldn’t help but exclaim.

Sun Meiyu smiled, “The profit is substantial, but our shop, this building, and the three large suites in the residential area at the back are all investments made by Jie.

If you deduct the rental of the employee dormitories for the shops, there actually isn’t much left!”

The middle-aged woman nodded repeatedly and laughed, “That’s true!

The rent in this area must be terribly expensive, at least three to four hundred per square meter per month, right?

Just this building alone, the annual rent must be several million!”

Wu Jie laughed, “It’s several million, but I’ve already told Haizhu, when he gets married, I’ll give him this building.

As for the marital home, we can just pick one from those three dormitory units!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Especially Zhang Hao, his mouth was gaping in an O shape.

“Jie, when did you…”

Before he could finish, Wu Jie kicked him under the table.

“Can you let me finish?”, Wu Jie glared at Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao immediately lowered his head, not retorting or questioning any further.

Wu Jie took a glance with a chuckle at the family of three opposite, Joy and her parents, who were already incredibly shocked.

It couldn’t be helped!

This building plus a unit in Tianyuan Haoting were worth at least two hundred million.

Two hundred million!

Not two hundred yuan, just casually part of Haizhu’s wedding gift.

That’s just way too rich and wilful!

Of course.

The couple next to him, Zhang Yong and his wife, were also somewhat stunned.

After all, Wu Jie had never mentioned this to them before; how could they not be surprised when suddenly hearing this?

He took in all their expressions and states of mind.

Wu Jie said in a light tone:

“Is everyone really that surprised?

Haizhu is my best pal, we’ve been up to mischief together since we were kids wearing open-crotch pants.

In summers past, we’d sneak off to swim in the reservoir.

If he hadn’t desperately saved me, I’d have been long buried with grass over my grave!”

“Brothers are as limbs and money is an external object.

Now the whole world knows that I make billions a day selling Detox Pills, so as long as Haizhu agrees, I can give him all three of the legitimate employee dormitory units!”

“Also, I have two cars, a Mercedes GLE and an Audi S8, both just gathering dust in the garage every day.

If he wants them, he can take them to drive, and that’ll just give me a reason to switch to electric cars…”

While saying this, Wu Jie kept an eye on the changing expressions of Joy and her parents.

Their eyes were nearly gleaming.

Offering the shop!

Offering luxury houses!

Offering luxury cars!

Could it be because Zhang Hao’s nickname is ‘Haizhu,’ that Wu Jie is giving him so many luxurious gifts?

Does that mean the simple and honest Hao, just by getting married, could immediately become a billionaire?

This is seriously like a real-life version of ‘a rising tide lifts all boats’!

Seeing all three scarcely able to contain their envy and yearning, nearly drooling…

Wu Jie sneered inwardly.

Some say, in this world, 99% of issues can be resolved with money, and the rest 1% just requires more money.

What kind of person is Joy?

A gold-digger who, instead of pursuing her studies, chose to enter society at a young age.

Would she have gotten plastic surgery or become a hostess if not for fame and money?

As the saying goes, such a daughter often reflects her upbringing.

Joy being so materialistic must be tied to her family’s teaching.

And her parents, while dressed fairly well, only wore high imitation branded clothes.

What kind of people buy fake branded items to pretend to be rich?

Materialistic!

Vain!

Opportunists!

Yet, they are also typical ‘sophisticated egoists’.

They crave vanity and think highly of themselves, yet won’t admit their own greed for wealth.

They are shrewd and profit-driven, maintaining their dignity at the cost of their own suffering.

So…

Even though Wu Jie was renowned worldwide and worth a fortune.

As soon as Wu Jie entered, Joy’s parents did not stand up or greet him.

Because that would show that their status was not ordinary, that they too were noble.

If they had risen like Joy and cheerfully called out ‘Jie’ or ‘Mr.

Wu’…

That would have been too embarrassing!

It would have been too easy for Wu Jie to think they were flattering opportunists.

Of course, perhaps they were deliberately putting on a show.

So Wu Jie bragged intentionally since it wasn’t taxed anyway.

And with this test, it was clear that Joy and her family had already shown their eagerness.

“…

Anyway, Haizhu is my brother.

I would never treat him unfairly!

Of course, I wouldn’t allow anyone to bully him either!”

As soon as Wu Jie finished, the middle-aged man laughed:

“Look at you, how could that be possible?”

“In fact, before you came Jie, we had already been discussing the marriage!”

“After all, they already have a child, might as well double the happiness and have a shotgun wedding!”

Wu Jie nodded slightly, glancing at Zhang Yong and his wife.

Zhang Hao certainly hadn’t mentioned Joy’s past, and Joy wouldn’t have told her parents that she was a terrible person.

Both sets of parents were kept in the dark, the atmosphere must have been tense before, probably due to the discussions about the bride price.

“A shotgun wedding…

Great news then!

According to custom, how much bride price do you plan to receive then?”

Wu Jie asked with a chuckle.

The middle-aged couple exchanged glances, and the wife took Joy’s hand, speaking earnestly,

“Joy has always been an obedient and sensible child, exceptionally well-behaved and filial, understanding, and kind-hearted!”

“Although she isn’t highly educated, she’s quite beautiful and especially likable…”

Wu Jie patiently listened.

No matter how Joy’s mother bragged and praised, blatantly lying.

Their so-called understanding was more like understanding how to strip, right?

Over the years, who knew how many men she had undressed for.

As for being kind-hearted and beautiful…

It almost made Wu Jie vomit his lunch.

Such bragging; could she be a professional actress?

“…in any case, we’re not selling our daughter.

No matter how much the betrothal gift is, it’s ultimately for her, we’re just going through the motions!” the middle-aged woman finally stopped her endless chatter.

Wu Jie glanced at Joy.

Detox Pill, while eliminating the germs and viruses, also had the effect of detoxifying and beautifying.

Eliminating bodily toxins naturally rejuvenated the body.

After taking six Detox Pills, Joy, unburdened by the psychological weight of AIDS, seemed much younger.

She didn’t wear thick makeup like yesterday and appeared radiant.

“So, how much exactly do you want?” Wu Jie asked with a smile.

The woman smiled, “Given my daughter’s qualifications, and considering my son-in-law’s family circumstances, 20 million yuan as a betrothal gift isn’t too much, is it?”

Wu Jie responded with a faint smile, his gaze flitting briefly to Zhang Yong and his wife.

The couple appeared grave; after all, 20 million…

They couldn’t possibly raise such a sum even if they sold themselves.

Pingle Town was still a poor rural town, housing prices are not even close to 2000 yuan.

Offering 20 million yuan for a bride price was next to extortion, wasn’t it?

Wu Jie had already known.

The old couple didn’t really like Joy.

Dressed up flashy and overly beautiful women, in the eyes of rural folks, are often deemed unsuitable for daily life.

Yet older folks generally were the least willing to choose abortion.

Wu Jie’s parents were constantly urging for a grandchild, and clearly, Zhang Yong and his wife were also eager to have a grandchild soon.

Little did they know!

The child made the mother valuable!

Joy’s family, seeing Zhang Hao running such a restaurant, and being Wu Jie’s good friend, hence opened their mouth wide just for the betrothal gift, asking for 20 million yuan.

How much more would be spent officially on the engagement and the wedding?

No telling.

With this.

This isn’t marrying a wife; it’s like taking on a major creditor!

“20 million…

that’s not a lot!”

Wu Jie quickly changed the topic and asked with a smile, “And how much dowry are you planning to provide for Joy?”

“Uh…”

The woman immediately didn’t know how to respond.

But the middle-aged man quickly took over the conversation and laughed,

“The dowry, of course, depends on whatever Joy likes; we’ll give her anything she wants regardless of the cost.”

The response was clever.

Without specifying any amount, it still made them appear to dote on Joy.

Old Fox indeed!

Wu Jie slightly smiled and kicked Zhang Hao under the table.

“For the child in her belly, are you willing to marry her as your wife?”

Wu Jie asked with a double meaning.

After so many years of friendship, Zhang Hao naturally understood.

“I am willing!

After all, it’s my own flesh and blood!” Zhang Hao said decisively.

Wu Jie looked at Zhang Yong and his wife.

The couple hesitated then reluctantly nodded.

After all…

with Joy pregnant, betting on the Zhang family’s unwillingness to choose abortion, this negotiation was naturally a sure win.

Joy had started with a strong hand; there was no game to play!

“Since that’s the case, later Haizhu will go with me to the Bureau of Housing Management, and I will transfer this building and three apartments to you!”

“Additionally, I’ll give you another 20 million as a betrothal gift, as a thank you for saving my life when we were young!”

As soon as Wu Jie finished, the middle-aged man immediately objected,

“No!

Zhang Hao must first register to marry my daughter, and only then go with you to transfer the property, otherwise these properties will become Zhang Hao’s premarital assets.

According to the new marriage law, if they divorce one day, my daughter will have no right to claim these properties!”

The woman also pursed her lips and smiled, “I think since you’re giving, why not give it to both of them, giving it just to Zhang Hao…

Are you suggesting my daughter is marrying Zhang Hao for his wealth?”

Wu Jie immediately scoffed,

“Strange!

They aren’t even married yet, how come we’re talking about divorce and property division?

Haizhu is loyal and righteous, even if they really divorce in the future, he definitely wouldn’t let Joy suffer!”

“Besides, only Zhang Hao saved my life, not Joy.

If I give money and housing to Zhang Hao, is there something wrong with that?

And starting by asking for 20 million yuan as a betrothal gift…

Joy, ask yourself, are you worth that much?”

Joy wasn’t embarrassed but instead asked with a smile,

“I might not be worth much, but what’s crucial is that Hao’s own flesh and blood is in my belly, surely the child is worth 20 million, right?”

Wu Jie gave a cold smile.

Yesterday it was about giving 100,000, today it had become 20 million.

The child wasn’t even aborted yet, but the Detox Pill was already taken.

Joy surely had someone wise behind her trying to use this opportunity to scam a hefty fortune.

Dare to play tricks in front of me?

Wasn’t that asking for trouble?
