(Part 3) 474: Chapter 470: Lu Xiaomanâs Childhood Sweetheart?
(Part 3) âOuch, why did you twist me?â Before Old Lu could finish speaking, he felt a pain in his waist, involuntarily flinched, and turned his head to call out to Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother.
Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother was infuriated by his reaction.
Ye Fan, overhearing this, couldnât help but turn to look at Lu Xiaoman.
Listening to Lu Xiaomanâs foster parents, it seemed they hardly considered Feng Junjieâs family as outsiders.
Once they stayed over the night, it could happen a second time, a third timeâŚ
wouldnât that make them practically family?
Lu Xiaomanâs eyebrows furrowed, clearly displeased.
However, it was indeed too late now, and she couldnât forcefully send Feng Junjieâs family away anymore.
Under the stern gaze of Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother, Old Lu completely quieted down and stopped speaking.
Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother turned to look at Feng Junjie, then at Ye Fanâone dressed in a suit looking handsome and sharp, the other in ordinary clothes barely handsome, one fully understood with a degree from a well-known university and working in a Fortune 500 company, owning cars worth a hundred thousand or two, the other a mystery and merely driving an old, low-grade car.
Upon comparison, she already had a notion in her mind.
She turned to Lu Xiaoman and waved, calling, âManman, come here.â
âMom, what is it?â Lu Xiaoman asked, puzzled.
âJust come here when I call you,â Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother said.
Lu Xiaoman had no choice but to walk over and sit next to her foster mother.
Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother discreetly grabbed Lu Xiaomanâs hand and said, âYouâre coming back from work this late, donât do this again in the future.â
âOkay, got it,â Lu Xiaoman replied.
âIf you must stay late again next time, call AâJie to pick you up,â Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother added, âThat would make mom feel better.â
Lu Xiaoman immediately protested, âMomââ
Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother raised her hand to stop her from speaking and turned to Ye Fan, âYe Fan, thank you for bringing Manman home so late.
But from now on, you wonât need to trouble yourself, as someone is already arranged to pick her up.â
Upon hearing this, Feng Junjieâs family all smiled.
Feng Junjie, in particular, looked provocatively at Ye Fan and sneered disdainfully.
âAuntie, I donât agree with that,â Ye Fan calmly shook his head.
Then, pointing at Feng Junjie, he said, âThis must be the âAâJieâ you mentioned.
I donât know what he and Manman were before, but I am clear that Manman is now my girlfriend.
How could my girlfriend have someone else pick her up late at night?â
Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother replied coldly, âYe Fan, are you really unable to understand or pretending not to?â
âI absolutely understand,â Ye Fan said calmly, âEven though you are Manmanâs mom, the fact that Manman and I are together is the reality.â
âHmph!â Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother snorted heavily, âI donât approve!
You also donât look at what you are, worthy of my daughter Manman?â
Since moving into the new house, Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother had become more conceited, and to her, someone who looked as ordinary as Ye Fan was definitely unworthy of notice.
âMom, how can you say that?â Lu Xiaoman urgently called out.
At that moment, Feng Junjieâs mother sneeringly said, âSome people really are thick-skinned.
Do you know what relationship Manman has with my AâJie?
Childhood sweethearts!
Their affection is deep!
Those with a clue would leave quickly.â
Lu Xiaoman tried to return to Ye Fanâs side but was firmly held back by her foster mother and foster father.
Ye Fan said to Lu Xiaoman, âManman, just sit comfortably.
Iâll handle this.â
Then, he addressed Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother, âThereâs no matter of being worthy or not, only whether the feelings are mutual and deep.â
âDonât talk to me about feelings; they are all false!
Given Manmanâs circumstances, there are plenty of men who love her,â Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother said sternly, her face dark, âI cannot allow my daughter to marry you!
You should leave, our home doesnât welcome you!â
âAs for feelings, the feelings between my AâJie and Manman are profound.
They grew up playing together, went to school together, and have been in tune with each other for a long time,â Feng Junjieâs mother interjected, âSpeaking of excellence, my AâJie graduated from a prestigious university and is now working in a top 500 global company.
Heâs even part of the management now, earning hundreds of thousands in his youth!
Look at you, dressed up in such a poor manner, youâre just a worthless low-level white-collar worker!â
Ye Fan ignored Feng Junjieâs motherâs sarcastic remarks and continued addressing Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother, âLove is always the most genuine, whereas money can always be earned.
What you refer to as qualifications is probably just money, right?â
âExactly!
Without one million, no, three million, you simply arenât suitable to be with my daughter!â Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother stated, face still stern.
Ye Fan couldnât help but laugh, âSo, youâre saying the dowry you desire is three million.
Thatâs easy, I can give you thirty million as dowry.
After that, please donât interfere in my and Manmanâs relationship.â
âWhat nonsense are you spouting?!â Feng Junjie immediately couldnât stay still, jumping up and shouting, âDo you think thirty million is easy money?
If you had thirty million, would you be dressed like that?â
Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother looked at Ye Fan with a mocking gaze; she didnât believe Ye Fan could produce thirty million at all, not to mention his ordinary attire, she had even seen the car Ye Fan drove.
She might not know much about cars, but she could tell at a glance that Ye Fanâs second-hand CitroĂŤn wasnât presentable at all.
âIf you can bring thirty million, I absolutely wonât interfere!â she was sure Ye Fan didnât have that kind of money.
âMom, donât be this way!â Lu Xiaoman protested.
She didnât doubt that Ye Fan couldnât bring out thirty million, but her foster motherâs actions embarrassed her immensely, making her feel utterly disgraced.
How was this any different from selling their daughter?
Yet, could her feelings for Ye Fan be bought off with thirty million?
Her saying this only confirmed everyoneâs belief that Ye Fan obviously couldnât bring forth thirty million, let alone even three million.
âManman, donât you dare interrupt!
You are my daughter, whom Iâve raised through hard work.
You must listen to me; thereâs no room for negotiation!â Lu Xiaomanâs foster mother harshly declared, âDo you think life is all about love and affection?!â
After scolding Lu Xiaoman, she turned to Ye Fan and said coldly, âWhen you bring thirty million, then you can pursue Manman!
If you try to contact Manman privately without bringing thirty million, even if you later bring three hundred million, I will never let Manman marry you!â
âNow, you can leave!â
Ye Fan nodded, stood up, and said, âI do indeed need to leave.
But, shouldnât these people also be leaving?â
Though his request was unreasonable, how could he possibly watch as a supposed childhood sweetheart of Lu Xiaoman stayed over at Lu Xiaomanâs house?
âWho do you think you are?
Itâs not your place to tell us whether we should leave or not!â Feng Junjieâs mother stood up, pointing at Ye Fan, and yelled.
Feng Junjie also shouted, âWhether Aunt Gui wants us to stay over is not for an outsider like you to say!â
