Chapter 876: Chapter 877: It Turns Out to Be True

Ma Lili’s family was indeed in an awkward position. Nobody paid any attention to them, which left them feeling quite uncomfortable. Soon, Ma Lili’s relatives also left; they felt that no matter what, they had already lost face here.

Wang Xiaoqiang and Xiao Cao were going around toasting at the tables. Although Xiao Cao was dressed simply, she was generous and appropriate in her interactions with others. Compared to Ma Lili’s affected coquettishness, people felt that Xiao Cao was much better than Ma Lili.

So, everyone didn’t really consider this to be a bad thing; instead, they sincerely wished them well.

"Hey, go check the entrance, see if a new car has actually been sent over," said Ma Lili’s mother to her husband.

"Shouldn’t we just leave? How embarrassing is this?" Ma Lili’s father said with a frown.

"Just go if I tell you to. Why all the talk? This is our daughter’s lifetime event, which relates to whether we can live a good life in the future. As a useless man, if you can’t give me and your mother a good life, can’t you hope our daughter marries into a wealthy family so we can become rich?"

Ma Lili’s mother chattered away angrily, and her meek husband shook his head, then dejectedly went outside.

However, soon he returned accompanied by two men dressed in 4S dealership uniforms and said in a low voice, "There’s a sports car; they were the ones who drove it here."

"Really?" Ma Lili’s mother looked at the two men.

The two went straight to Chen Zixu, and then everyone’s attention was on these two men because their uniforms showed they were from Tiannan’s top 4S dealership.

"Mr. Chen, the car you ordered has arrived."

Chen Zixu nodded and said, "Not bad, that was pretty quick."

"When Mr. Chen wants to pick up the car, we naturally don’t dare to delay. This car was originally ordered by someone else, but since Mr. Chen needed it, we brought it to you straight away."

"Alright, I’ll go thank your boss later."

"Certainly, Mr. Chen, here is the prepared invoice."

Wang Xiaoqiang peeked at it and was so excited he almost shouted out loud—it was a Porsche worth three million two hundred thousand!

"Change this invoice, put it in my brother’s name. This is the wedding gift I’m giving my brother," Chen Zixu casually gave the invoice back to the 4S dealership staff.

"Certainly, right away. I’ll go change it and bring it back to Mr. Chen shortly," the man said hurriedly, then quickly left.

As Chen Zixu spoke with the 4S dealership staff, he didn’t deliberately avoid anyone. Everyone was curious, and so at that moment, nobody spoke. Although the hall was large, everyone could hear what the two were saying.

"No way! Is this for real?"

"Yeah, it doesn’t seem like a fake."

The Wang family’s relatives and friends were all whispering among themselves. From initially not believing it at all, they were now starting to have their doubts.

Ding Shanyue smiled and said, "Zixu, it seems you’re still young. I had already arranged everything; there shouldn’t be such a mistake."

Chen Zixu smiled awkwardly and said, "I’m nowhere near as cunning and calculating as you, Elder Ding San."

Soon, the two of them found Ding Shanyue and handed him a document bag.

Ding Shanyue took it and directly handed it to Wang Xiaoqiang, saying, "Brother Xiaoqiang, this is just a small token of appreciation."

Wang Xiaoqiang took it, really wanting to open it right away to see, but felt that it wouldn’t be polite; Li Gang, on the other hand, had no such reservations, chuckling as he said, "Let me have a look."

Wang Xiaoqiang passed the document bag to Li Gang, who immediately opened it and then, looking inside, beamed and said, "Xiaoqiang, you’ve quickly reached the peak of life, huh? Not only a villa and a luxury car, but you’ve also got a wife. I’m so jealous, Dongzi, when I get married, you can’t give me any less."

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Of course, you guys are my brothers. I couldn’t possibly play favorites. But you at least need to have a girlfriend first, right?"

Li Gang puffed out his chest and said, "Now that I’m also a multimillionaire, is finding a girlfriend still difficult?"

If Li Gang had said this half an hour earlier, everyone would probably have scoffed at him, but now, suddenly this statement seemed to carry weight and swagger.

Chen Zixu and Ding Shanyue had long noticed Li Gang always sitting next to Song Xiaodong, so they knew Li Gang and Song Xiaodong had a close relationship. They both immediately said with a smile, "Ha, brother Gangzi, you have to let us know in advance when you get married, and we’ll definitely prepare a generous gift."

Li Gang grinned and said, "Certainly, certainly. With rich guys like you, I’ll have to thoroughly plunder when the time comes." After saying this, Li Gang felt extremely proud of himself. He could stand unabashed and lightheartedly banter with people like Chen Zixu and Ding Shanyue, and even talk about getting something out of them. He had never felt so glorious in his life.

People around really wanted to come over and see what gift Wang Xiaoqiang received; could it really be the paperwork for a villa?

By now, people were no longer just suspicious, some had started to believe it was true.

Then someone sneakily used their phone to search online, looking up the names of Chen Zixu and Ding Shanyue, and quickly found information on the two men.

Comparing with the photos, it was clearly the two eminent big shots of Tiannan City.

"Holy smokes! This is real." No one knew who was the first to utter this phrase, then all the relatives and friends passed around the phones, and one by one their expressions turned to complete astonishment. Beyond the shock, what overwhelmed them even more was envy and excitement.

For such personages, a few million was trivial, and how could they be pretending in such a public setting? If word got out, it would be a loss of face. That meant the house, the car, were definitely real.

Then everyone thought of Song Xiaodong, and the respect Chen Zixu and Ding Shanyue showed him indicated that Song Xiaodong was even more impressive. With such a high roller stating he’d give away a billion, people couldn’t help but believe it.

Ma Lili’s family also looked at their phones at this time and discovered the situation. The three of them had expressions that became spectacularly vivid.

Ma Lili’s mother’s eyes darted around before leaning into Ma Lili’s ear, saying, "That one ran off, but isn’t this one still here? Let’s go after Wang Xiaoqiang."

"Mom, but..."

"What ’but’ this and that? Today was supposed to be your wedding day with her; everyone knows that. How could we let that wretched girl snatch him away? Your mom is going to get Wang Xiaoqiang back for you right now."

"Is this really okay?"

"What’s not okay about it? Just you watch your mom in action. This is a genuine tycoon we’re talking about. Marrying him would mean our whole family hits the jackpot." As she said this, the look Ma Lili’s mother gave Wang Xiaoqiang was one of fervent desire.
