Chapter 195 - Sincerity

Hearing his future father-in-law’s warning, Ye Haochuan immediately declared, “Uncle Chen, rest assured, if I cause Yushan even the slightest grievance, there will be no need for you to come after me.

I will kneel before you and ask for punishment myself.”

Chen Jianguo and Xue Caining exchanged a glance, both showing a satisfied look in their eyes.

“Haochuan, since you two have decided to be together, when do you plan on having the wedding?” Chen Jianguo asked.

Ye Haochuan thought for a moment and said, “I personally don’t have any objections; I’m ready anytime.

It mainly depends on Yushan.”

After saying that, he looked at Chen Yushan with endless tenderness.

Chen Yushan returned his gaze affectionately and said, “Let’s wait a bit longer.

We’ve only known each other for a few days; it’s too soon to get married.

Wouldn’t people talk about how desperate I am to get married if we hurried into it?

I can’t afford to lose face like that!”

Chen Jianguo immediately showed a ‘I knew you would say that’ expression and said resignedly, “Alright then, I will give you one year’s time.

Is that okay?”

This time, Chen Yushan had no objections.

Finally, the whole family was overjoyed.

“However, Haochuan, although you are not a person of the secular world, since you want to be with my daughter, I can’t let her suffer any losses.

You still have to buy a house, a car, and pay the betrothal gifts as expected,” said Xue Caining suddenly.

Now that the happy event was approaching, Xue Caining, the prospective mother-in-law, didn’t hold back any longer.

For her daughter’s future happiness, she was ready to fight for what she deserved and reach out for it.

Chen Yushan, on the other hand, felt somewhat uncomfortable upon hearing this and said, “Mom, what are you talking about?

I chose to be with him because of who he is, not for his money, house, car, and such…”

Xue Caining gave her a stern look and said, “What do you, a child, understand?”

Chen Yushan was about to retort when Ye Haochuan pulled her back in time and said with a smile, “Auntie Xue, don’t worry, I understand what should be done.”

Xue Caining’s eyes narrowed into a smile, “It’s good that Haochuan is sensible.

So, what are you preparing…”

Ye Haochuan smiled faintly, “As for the house, car, diamond ring, jewelry and the like, I won’t list them all.

However, for marrying Yushan, I will prepare this much for the betrothal gift.”

As he spoke, he held up a finger.

“One million?”

Xue Caining was secretly astounded; a betrothal gift of one million would indeed be quite prestigious.

However, Ye Haochuan’s next reply almost made her heart leap out.

“No, no, no, how can a betrothal gift of one million show my feelings for Yushan that are as tall as a mountain and as deep as the sea?” Ye Haochuan shook his head and finger, “I’ve thought it over, Auntie Xue, I am preparing a ten million-dollar betrothal gift to marry Yushan.”

Ten million for a betrothal gift?

Not only did Xue Caining take a sharp breath, but Chen Jianguo’s jaw nearly dropped to the floor as well.

As for Chen Yushan, she was so overcome with happiness that her legs almost went weak.

With her man willing to spend so much for her, what more could she ask for?

Watching the shocked expressions of the three family members, Ye Haochuan felt amused inwardly.

With my current net worth of several billion, what’s ten million for a betrothal gift?

Had it not been for considering Han Xue’er’s betrothal was also ten million, I would have directly offered a hundred million!

Moreover, for a cultivator like him from the Martial Arts Path Realm, money is nothing but sheets of waste paper.

Only the Pill, a large quantity of Pills, that is the true wealth!

As long as he had Pills, he could simply take out one, like a Body-Strengthening Pill, and exchange it for a tremendous amount of paper money from the Secular World.

With this thought, Ye Haochuan took out a bank card and said, “Uncle Chen, Auntie Xue, this bank card contains ten million in funds, and the password is xxxxxx.

I’m giving it to you ahead of time as a gesture of my sincerity.”

Chen Jianguo and Xue Caining felt overwhelmingly blessed.

They were just an ordinary family of three, never expecting their daughter to attract such a wealthy suitor.

With these ten million, they wouldn’t have to live so frugally anymore, would they?

However, the couple was not the type to covet luxury.

Chen Jianguo praised, “Good, Uncle Chen didn’t misjudge you.

You’re a responsible person.

I’m entrusting Yushan to you, which puts my mind at ease.

But you can also rest assured, we’ll keep this bank card for you temporarily.

When Yushan gets married, we’ll give it to her.”

Xue Caining also expressed her agreement, supporting her husband’s viewpoint.

Chen Yushan was so moved, what more could she ask for with such parents?

Yet, what touched her even more was her boyfriend’s attitude.

She only heard Ye Haochuan solemnly say, “Uncle Chen, Auntie Xue, this money is not just for the dowry, but also as my way of honoring you.

Feel free to spend it, whether it’s on buying a house or a car.

As long as it’s for normal expenses, I have no objections.

Easy come, easy go, right?”

“That won’t do, this is all your hard-earned money.

How can we just spend it like that?” Chen Jianguo shook his head.

Xue Caining felt the same.

Ye Haochuan laughed and said, “Uncle Chen, Auntie Xue, I’m an orphan, I’ve never seen my parents since I was a child.

Now that my relationship with Yushan is confirmed, you are my parents, Ye Haochuan’s parents.

You have worked hard for Yushan for most of your lives, and this token of my filial piety is only right.”

“But…” Chen Jianguo still wanted to insist.

Ye Haochuan interrupted him with a smile, “Uncle Chen, please don’t insist.

Money really isn’t anything to me.

I can earn it back by just selling a few pills.”

Then Chen Jianguo remembered that he had divine medicines like the Body-Strengthening Pill, which were worth a fortune.

He shook his head and reluctantly accepted.

Afterward, the family continued to chat casually in the living room.

Chen Jianguo and Xue Caining truly treated him as their future son-in-law, asking him in great detail about everything, including his job and his relationships with other women.

He briefly talked about his job and made sure to explain his relationships with other women to the elders.

Chen Yushan was especially attentive, wanting to know if, besides the beautiful chairwoman Xiao Haimei, there were any other women he was involved with.

“Actually, besides Haishan University’s Chairwoman Xiao Haimei, I have another woman…”

Ye Haochuan was just about to come clean when Chen Yushan’s voice suddenly rose by eight octaves, and she said with rounded Phoenix eyes, “What?

You have another woman?

Who is she?

Is it that colleague of yours, Kou Jing?”

Chen Jianguo and Xue Caining frowned upon hearing this, their prospective son-in-law seemed a bit too flirtatious for their taste.

Looking at Chen Yushan a bit embarrassingly, Ye Haochuan touched his nose and said guiltily, “It’s not Doctor Kou, it’s another colleague of mine.

She’s a young nurse named Han Xue’er.

I’ve more or less also reached a marriage agreement with her.”

He then recounted how he had come to a marriage agreement with Han Xue’er.

“Han Xue’er?”

Chen Yushan evidently heard this name for the first time and aside from surprise, she also felt quite jealous.

Even rabbits don’t eat the grass around their burrows, yet this scoundrel didn’t even spare the female colleagues nearby?
