Chapter 875: Chapter 876: Send Some Gifts

Wang Shenlong, despite not being super wealthy, likes to show off. Even if he doesn’t personally know impressive figures like Chen Zixu, he’s at least aware of them, which makes him seem knowledgeable when chatting with others.

Seeing Wang Shenlong’s shocked expression, Ma Lili’s mother immediately asked: "Who is Chen Zixu again?"

"Chen Zixu is now the biggest gang leader around here," Wang Shenlong whispered.

"A gang leader... that impressive," muttered Ma Lili’s mother, but she quickly added: "So what? He isn’t someone like Wang Xiaoqiang."

Wang Shenlong could only mutter this to himself internally.

At this moment, Song Xiaodong, smiling, brought Chen Zixu over to Wang Xiaoqiang and Xiao Cao, saying, "Hey, Zi Xu, you didn’t come empty-handed, did you?"

Chen Zixu smiled and said: "Of course not, I will prepare a red envelope right away."

Song Xiaodong shook his head, "No need for a red envelope, someone just looked down on my brother, saying he doesn’t have a house or a car. Choose one to give."

Chen Zixu frowned slightly.

Ma Lili’s mother immediately noticed this detail and said: "Really acting all high and mighty, even asking someone to gift a house or a car, as if he’s such a grand figure."

People like Ma Lili’s mother are not in the minority, but Chen Zixu’s frown was due to someone disrespecting Song Xiaodong’s brother. He spoke sternly, "Who is being disrespectful? Do I need to teach him a lesson, brother?"

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "Just handle what I asked you to handle."

Chen Zixu nodded, then added, "Then why pick just one? I’ll just give both and settle it."

"That won’t do, Zi Xu, you have to leave me something," another man’s voice chimed in, and everyone realized that four men had walked in together.

"Oh, Elder Ding San, you’re here too," Chen Zixu immediately greeted.

Song Xiaodong looked surprised at both of them, but quickly realized that although Chen Zixu is making moves in Tiannan, he was still only involved in the gang scene and his foundation was unstable. The Ding family, being the most influential people in Tiannan, meant a collaboration between the two would definitely be mutually beneficial.

"Mr. Song beckoned, how could I not come," Ding Shanyue said with a smile, then hastened to add, "Since it’s Mr. Song’s brother’s wedding, I just happen to have a 280 sqm villa in the newly launched British Manor that I can gift as a wedding present."

The crowd gasped in awe. British Manor was a well-known luxury villa area in Tiannan, where the average housing price is only five to six thousand per square meter. British Manor reached over ten thousand per square meter—280 square meters would be worth three million.

Chen Zixu laughed and said, "Since Elder Ding San is gifting such a huge house, my car contribution can’t be shabby. I’ll have a Porsche delivered from the 4S shop right away."

Listening, Wang Xiaoqiang’s heart raced, and he quickly said: "No, no need."

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "They are gifting, just accept it. Remember your current worth."

Wang Xiaoqiang paused, then clenched his fist, saying, "Thank you both for the gifts."

"Come on, let’s sit down and have a celebratory drink."

Song Xiaodong called to a few people.

At this moment, Wang Shenlong’s face turned green. He knew not only Chen Zixu but also Ding Sanyue. Offending Chen Zixu meant offending the underworld, making his future life miserable. Offending Ding Shanyue meant offending the officialdom; he couldn’t even think about doing business anymore. In essence, with just one word from these two, he would no longer have a foothold in Tiannan.

His face rapidly changing colors, Wang Shenlong hurriedly rushed to Wang Xiaoqiang, slapped himself several times, and with a mournful expression said, "Brother Qiang, I was blind not to see Mount Tai, daring to come here and snatch the bride. I’ll back out right now, right away, I will never see her again, absolutely will not meet her, and will no longer have any thoughts about her, please, you are a magnanimous person, please let me go."

The appearance of Ding Shanyue and Chen Zixu turned out to create such a scene, but in fact, ninety-nine percent of the people attending the wedding did not believe it. They all thought that Song Xiaodong had just brought two friends to put on a play to vent Wang Xiaoqiang’s anger.

Now seeing Wang Shenlong suddenly admitting his mistake, everyone still laughed secretly, thinking that Wang Shenlong was clearly deceived, and his intelligence was really enough.

Wang Xiaoqiang looked at Song Xiaodong, who simply smiled slightly and said, "You handle this matter yourself."

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded, then turned to Wang Shenlong and said, "If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have seen Ma Lili’s true colors. Living a lifetime with her, I would never be able to stand up for myself. It also wouldn’t have let me know that what I truly like is Xiao Cao and understand that as a man, I can’t always be compromising; I must be responsible. So for this matter, I’ve decided not to pursue it further."

Wang Shenlong immediately was overjoyed, repeatedly saying thanks, but his gaze then stealthily glanced at Chen Zixu and Ding Shanyue.

Chen Zixu snorted and said, "Didn’t you hear what Brother Qiang just said? With your little worth, you have no damn right to challenge Brother Qiang. Hurry up and scram, don’t be an eyesore here."

Wang Shenlong quickly backed away, continuously saying, "Thank you, thank you." Then he turned around and was about to run.

"Shenlong!"

"Son-in-law!"

Ma Lili and her mother suddenly stopped him; particularly Ma Lili’s mother, grasping Wang Shenlong’s arm, urgently said: "Son-in-law, don’t listen to their nonsense, they are deceiving you."

Wang Shenlong’s face turned green in an instant, with a fierce shake of his hand, he almost flung Ma Lili’s mother away, shouting, "I don’t know you." He then ran off, fearing any further association with Ma Lili’s family.

"Son-in-law!"

"Shenlong!" Ma Lili and her mother cried out anxiously, but Wang Shenlong had already disappeared in the blink of an eye, faster than a rabbit.

This left Ma Lili and her mother dumbfounded, as they had thought they had snagged a wealthy son-in-law, only for him to run away.

"Mom!" Ma Lili said with a bitter face, suddenly unsure of what to do.

"Damn it! This fool believed such a fake play. Don’t worry, let’s just wait here. Didn’t they say that they would send a car later? We’ll wait to expose their lies, then go find Shenlong. Then he won’t be scared, and you two can be together."

"Oh... But I feel like maybe they were telling the truth?" said Ma Lili, somewhat scared.

"Truth my ass, giving Wang Xiaoqiang a billion in shares straight away, mentioning cars, associating houses, is this money all blown by the wind? You can fool others, but you can’t fool me, your mom, not by any chance."
