Chapter 312: Chapter 316: Bragging to the Skies (17)

On the other side, the news of Wang Xiaochuan’s impending engagement also spread to his hometown.

There were classmates from the same area at school.

Others were saying that Wang Xiaochuan must be the disguised scion of a wealthy family, but those few classmates absolutely refused to believe it.

They preferred to believe that perhaps Wang Xiaochuan had some incredible shit luck to have everything he had now.

In middle school, and high school, he was bullied a lot at school. What kind of immortal rich guy could endure all that?

And it seemed they had been among those who had bullied Wang Xiaochuan.

Would he remember the past now that he was successful, and seek revenge...?

That was the real reason they could not bear to believe that Wang Xiaochuan’s fortunes had turned.

One of them, with a quick roll of the eyes, came up with a good plan.

Back home, didn’t Wang Xiaochuan’s dad still sell snacks at the entrance of the middle school?

Now that Wang Xiaochuan had made it big, he wouldn’t forget his own father, right? That would be too much.

He had heard before that Wang Xiaochuan had two aunts who were quite fierce characters.

--------------

Wang Zhiguo, together with his two sisters, stepped off the train and looked at the bustling scene before them, different from their hometown, with a bit of trepidation.

All their lives, they had stayed in that small place; the farthest they’d ever been was the newly built mall in the small county town.

Suddenly seeing a place grander and bigger than their hometown, in the moment, the three of them, whose ages totaled over a hundred, all felt a bit frightened.

Seeing the passersby coming and going around them, inferior, mortified emotions spread in their hearts.

The clothes they wore were the best and most expensive they had ever bought.

"Brother, has Xiao Chuan really made it big?"

"His classmates said so; he’s getting engaged to a pretty girl who comes from a wealthy family."

"Why didn’t he come back to let us know then, you’re his real dad... this is too unfilial, could it be that he looks down on us? I say, we shouldn’t have let him go to university in the first place, not to mention the money spent; he got educated and now doesn’t even want his dad, how could he decide something as big as an engagement on his own? When we see him later, you have to give him a good talking to."

Wang Zhiguo took a hard drag on his cigarette, his brows furrowed and face displeased, "He’s becoming more and more disrespectful."

"Comrade, no smoking here, according to the regulations..."

Wang Zhiguo, looking disheveled, was caught by a uniformed patrol officer with armbands.

"A fine of one hundred yuan."

Wang Zhiguo’s elder sister wouldn’t stand for it, "It’s just smoking, why can’t we do that, and also a fine, I’m telling you..."

But no matter how much they made a fuss, breaking the rules meant a fine, and Wang Zhiguo was reluctant.

One hundred yuan was enough for him to have several good meals, just giving it away for nothing, he could hardly bear it.

"Let my son talk to you then," Wang Zhiguo said and dialed Wang Xiaochuan’s phone directly, but he couldn’t get through at all.

"Excuse me, are you Wang Xiaochuan’s father?"

At that moment, a smart and capable man came over smiling, "I’m here to take you to the viewing."

The fine of one hundred yuan was also paid by this man who came to receive them.

Wang Zhiguo and his two sisters sat comfortably in the luxury car, touching here and there.

Their hearts began to cheer up.

The elder sister spoke in what she thought was a quiet voice to her brother, "It looks like Xiao Chuan really has made it big, look at this grandeur."

"You’re his dad; you’ll be living the good life from now on."

The younger sister also chimed in with a beaming smile, "Sister, you’re his eldest aunt, and I’m his younger aunt, Xiao Chuan should definitely be filial to us too."

Observing the few people behind them talking more and more out of line, the man sent to receive them disdainfully curled his lip.

"A family like this one," he thought, "would probably count out money for the buyer even after being sold."

A few words later, these people followed him onto the vehicle without a second thought, never considering they hadn’t contacted their son. How could their son have sent someone to pick them up?

Indeed, the man receiving them was not sent by Wang Xiaochuan.

He drove all the way to a grand estate, a trip that significantly broadened the horizons of Wang Zhiguo and his two sisters.

So a house could be this grand...

Imagining that they, too, could live in such a house someday, they felt utterly delighted.

"When the time comes, we’ll move in here, too, and bring all the kids from home."

Wang Zhiguo, inflated with pride at the thought of his son’s success, said, "Xiao Zhi, Jiaojiao, Mingming... all come over, Xiaochuan is the elder brother, after all. He should take care of his younger siblings."

Before Wang Zhiguo could finish his daydream, they arrived at their destination.

An Mingrui didn’t appear in person but instead sent his recently acquired junior disciple to lead them to a sitting room, and then left them to it.

"Madam, the guests have arrived."

Su Li was leisurely filing her nails, with Louis smiling behind her, his gaze glued to her and never straying.

Su Li was the picture of composure, her face not flushing, her breath not faltering.

She blew on her fingertips, dusting off the nail filings, and after putting away her tools, Su Li said indifferently, "Just let them stay there for now, so they don’t wander out and cause trouble."

"After the engagement party, we’ll have Xiaochuan come to see them, and he can decide what to do. After all, they are his family."

Su Li would not impose her will on him under the guise of wanting what’s best for him.

The engagement party went off without a hitch.

The classmates of Wang Xiaochuan who were invited had their eyes filled to the brim with envy.

Even though they could only watch from the periphery, it was thrilling nonetheless.

Not to mention the grandeur of the venue, but seeing the guests enter was enough to make them scream in excitement.

Familiar faces from financial magazines, academic giants, and celebrities frequently seen on TV—here they were, all in the same space as them.

It was breath-taking.

And the list of dowries announced by the host had already taken half an hour to recount and wasn’t even finished yet.

They had gone from initial shock to a numb acceptance...

Many female classmates were turning green with regret, having missed out on the perfect man who was right by their side.

They had missed out on hundreds of millions...

Looking at Zihan’s smile, it seemed as if she was mocking their blindness.

Su Li’s entrance brought a minor climax to the engagement banquet.

Only then did everyone realize that the lady stirring up the world of investment was none other than the one before their eyes.

A horrific sum was attached to her name, and today, she announced the transfer of all her wealth to her son and future daughter-in-law—the couple Wang Xiaochuan and Zihan.

Suddenly, many in attendance looked at the Yue couple with envious eyes.

Upon hearing that after the marriage, the couple would live with the bride’s parents...

The eyes of those who also had daughters at home turned red with envy, and one of them sourly said to Yue Bing, "Old Yue, you’re truly blessed."

Yue Bing, with a beam in his eye and mouth that wouldn’t close, boasted unmodestly, "Indeed, Xiaochuan is a good one. He’s so considerate of my daughter, and the mother-in-law adores Zihan as well. Even before they were engaged, she treated her like her own daughter, with more care than her mother and I..."

"It’s also because Zihan herself is so good, that’s why she’s so loved by her future mother-in-law. You don’t know, when Xiaochuan had no money, my daughter stayed by his side, loyally. Could your daughter do the same?"

Yue Bing’s eyes were practically looking up to the skies.

Everyone else: "...." How they wanted to smack him right then and there.
