A bus sped across the boundless wilderness. The eight-lane highway stretched across the grassland like a black ribbon.
At this moment, on the bus that was filled with people, the pair of young people sitting in the back row frowned. In the eyes of others, they were just a couple quarreling.
However, in the hearts of this young couple, they knew that this was not the case.
Zhao Chen was not feeling very comfortable. The person sitting next to him was his fiancée, Xu Hui.
The two young people had already entered the age of marriage, and their parents had already met. However, at the last moment, they fell into a dispute over the betrothal money.
Xu Hui was not considered beautiful, and Zhao Chen was not considered handsome either. They were just a couple among the countless young people in China. Zhao Chen, who was just 23 years old this year, had been dating Xu Hui for three years. They thought that everything would go smoothly and the two of them would enter the hall of marriage. However, no one expected such a thing to happen at the last moment.
The engagement ceremony had already been held, but this time, when he went to his father-in-law's house, the negotiations were completely ruined because of the betrothal gift money. Zhao Chen's family was not rich. Although they lived in the provincial capital of Inner Mongolia, they were just countless working families in this vast city.
Zhao Chen's family had prepared a betrothal gift of 66,000 yuan, which was an auspicious number, but his father-in-law's family had offered 100,000 yuan.
For an ordinary working family, more than half of the 66,000 yuan was borrowed from relatives. However, relatives were not rich, not to mention the cost of holding a wedding.
Because of the difference of 34,000 yuan, Zhao Chen was chased out of his father-in-law's house. The reason why Xu Hui and Xu Hui's sister, Xu Ying, followed him was because Xu Ying had carried out her father-in-law's mission. If the Zhao family could not fork out the 100,000 yuan betrothal gift, the marriage would not be held.
"Huihui, do you think our relationship can't compare to this betrothal gift of more than 30,000 yuan?”Zhao Chen still spoke up." You know how I treat you. Besides, I'm starting a small business now. Our lives will get better and better. It's just that we're missing a betrothal gift of more than 30,000 yuan. 66,000 yuan isn't too little, right?”
"Zhao Chen, let's cut the crap. Think about it yourself. How big is the difference between 100,000 and 66,000? Isn't it just 30,000 yuan? Can't you just ask your parents to borrow it?”Xu Hui's face was still filled with anger.
"It's not like you haven't been to our house before! Don't you know what's going on in our family? If I ask my parents to borrow it, where can they go?!”Zhao Chen was a little angry, and his voice rose a notch.
"Zhao Chen, what do you mean? Besides, didn't my dad say that he doesn't want our betrothal money? He just wants to prepare for the future. He'll lend it to my brother to buy a house first.! After we return it, won't the money still be ours?”Xu Hui said loudly.
"I don't want to argue with you. I just want to say this. My family can only take out 66,000 yuan as a betrothal gift. This is already the result of my parents borrowing a lot of foreign debts. Perhaps they will have to pay it back for many years and there won't be any more.”Zhao Chen said in a deep voice.
"I only have one sentence. Without a betrothal gift of 100,000 yuan, I won't get married!”After Xu Hui finished speaking, she turned her head to the side in anger.
The two of them quarreled loudly, and most of the passengers on the bus heard it. In fact, this was not the first time they quarreled. They had traveled more than half of the four-hour journey, but in the past two hours, the two of them quarreled. Almost all the passengers around them understood what had happened.
Many of the passengers sighed and shook their heads. Some of them tried to persuade Xu Hui, but they were just strangers after all, so there was no effect in persuading her.
This kind of seemingly melodramatic thing happened many times in the Celestial Empire. However, Zhao Chen did not expect that it would happen to him one day.
He was too lazy to say anything else. At the same time, he had made some decisions in his heart. Looking at the scenery outside the window, Zhao Chen began to let his imagination run wild.
"If I really have money! F * ck, at this time, he could make a phone call and get a dozen luxury cars to catch up to this bus. He could stop the bus and get an old man in his twenties to get on the bus and call him Young Master! Damn it, let's see if you regret it or not!”A strange thought popped up in Zhao Chen's mind.
Of course, Zhao Chen had fantasized about this countless times. Who asked online novels to be so popular nowadays? Everyone wanted to be the main character!
"Zhao Chen, you said that my sister's requirements for marrying you are not very high, right? We didn't ask for a house. Your parents bought a simple second floor, so we accepted it. We didn't ask for a car either. It was just a betrothal gift.”Xu Ying, who was beside him, spoke at this time.
However, Zhao Chen had already understood a lot. He interrupted Xu Ying and said,"Sister, I'll call you sister for the last time. I just have one last question. It's only a betrothal gift of 66,000 yuan. Can we get married?”
"No!" Before Xu Ying could say anything, Xu Hui, who was beside her, stood up and said resolutely. She looked at Zhao Chen and said,"Zhao Chen, let me tell you, without a hundred thousand betrothal gifts, I won't agree to this wedding! Other than me, who else would like you? You don't have a house or a car?"
"Alright! Then let's break up! I don't want the jewelry I gave you anymore. Let's break up!”Zhao Chen's tone became extremely cold as he spoke resolutely.
" What did you say?!" Xu Hui was stunned for a moment, and her voice suddenly became sharp.
"I said break up! I'm not getting married!" Zhao Chen said loudly.
"So be it. Zhao Chen, let me tell you, don't think that I'm afraid of you. If you have the ability, don't come back and beg me!”Xu Hui shrieked.
"Brother, you're right. There are plenty of fish in the sea. You won't be able to live with such a woman even if you get married.”Suddenly, a man's cheers came from the front.
Immediately after, many people in the carriage began to agree. Along the way, they finally understood. How big was the difference between a betrothal gift of 66,000 and 100,000? In fact, 66,000 was not the lowest betrothal gift in the province. It was at least considered medium.
Just because of the 34,000 betrothal gift, he was holding on to it. Was he marrying a girl or selling a girl?
The voices of the surrounding passengers made Xu Hui so angry that she couldn't continue. Zhao Chen didn't say anything else. He just picked up his luggage and walked to the front of the carriage. He sat down in an empty seat in front.
Sitting next to Zhao Chen was a man in his thirties. Seeing Zhao Chen sit down, the man smiled and gave Zhao Chen a thumbs up."Sometimes, men just need to be more manly.”
Zhao Chen, who had made up his mind, felt much more relaxed. He smiled but did not respond. The man beside him knew that Zhao Chen was in a bad mood, so he did not mind. Instead, he continued to persuade him,"Little brother, you're still young. Don't worry, there will always be someone suitable for you.”
Zhao Chen nodded and thanked him. Then, he closed his eyes and leaned back to rest. He had been mentally exhausted for the past few days. However, he did not expect the happy occasion to turn out like this.
Zhao Chen rested for a few minutes with his eyes closed. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. Then, Zhao Chen felt that the car was slowing down.
Zhao Chen opened his eyes in confusion and looked out the window. It was only then that he realized that a convoy had appeared around the bus!
There were at least a dozen cars. Due to the fact that there were some passengers and Zhao Chen was not sitting by the window, he could not see everything. However, he could tell that the entire convoy was definitely filled with luxury cars!
However, it was not a sports car, but a Mercedes-Benz G65, a true cross-country overlord with a starting price of two million!
"D * mn, who is this?”Zhao Chen couldn't help but mutter in his heart. At this moment, he realized that three G65s were slowing down in front of the bus. Moreover, an arm stretched out from the window of one of the G65s in front of the bus, signaling for the bus to slow down.
The passengers on the bus didn't know what was going on, but the other party was slowing down, and the bus couldn't really crash into them. Therefore, the bus quickly stopped on the emergency parking lane of the highway. At this time, more than ten cars in front of the bus stopped in front of the bus.
At this moment, all the passengers were surprised to find that there were not only a dozen luxury cars. In the middle of the eight G65s in front and back, there was a Rolls-Royce Phantom!
When the bus stopped, the door of the Rolls-Royce Phantom opened. An old man with white hair and dressed in a formal suit got out and walked straight to the bus.
The people in the car were all confused. They did not know what was going on.
Zhao Chen didn't understand what was going on either. He looked around curiously. When the old man walked to the door, the driver naturally opened the door and the old man walked in.
The passengers in the carriage naturally saw the old man's full appearance. His suit was very smooth, not even a crease could be seen. Although his hair was white, it was combed meticulously. His expression was serious.
"Hello, what's the matter?" The driver asked carefully.
"Sorry to disturb you. I'm looking for someone.”A smile appeared on the old man's serious face as he spoke to the driver. Then, he looked around.
Then, the old man's eyes quickly locked onto Zhao Chen. He quickly walked to Zhao Chen's seat and bowed 90 degrees. He said respectfully,"Young Master, I'm here to pick you up."
The car instantly fell into dead silence! Everyone was stunned. Their mouths were wide open, and they all looked at Zhao Chen with strange expressions. They recognized him as the young man who had just quarreled and broke up with him because of the 34,000 yuan betrothal gift.
At this moment, Zhao Chen felt as if tens of thousands of f * cking horses were galloping across his heart!
