Lu Jinyu and Jiang Shen, who were sitting there, felt that they had been unjustly victimized. They jumped up and protested, “What do you mean by the best man can’t be too handsome?”
“That’s right! Where does that put us?! Sister-in-law, we don’t like your words! Are you saying we’re not handsome?”
Gong Jie was satisfied.
However, Mu Yazhe was displeased. “Does Madam mean that I’m not as handsome as brother-in-law?”
Gong Jie chimed in, “Is there a need to ask? Sister is just worried that I’ll steal your limelight if I become the best man.”
“Shut up, you.”
“The truth is ultimately hurtful. Brother-in-law, this means that in Sister’s eyes, I’m more handsome than you.”
“Shut up.”
“Haha, I won’t.”
Mu Yazhe glared at him.
Gong Jie glared back defiantly.
Their eyes met and sparks flew.
Yun Shishi was stumped, “Er…”
She seemed to have unintentionally started a war.
Seeing that his father and uncle were at odds with each other, Youyou quickly tried to smooth things over and changed the topic. “Uncle, how much cash gift are you preparing for Mommy’s wedding?”
Gong Jie replied, “Fifty million.”
Yun Shishi widened her eyes in shock. “Fifty million?”
“Uh huh.”
Gong Jie wrapped his arm around her and rested his chin on her shoulder. He smiled and said, “Is Sister very touched?”
Mu Yazhe pushed his face away and snorted. “Fifty million? How petty.”
“Petty?”
Gong Jie was furious. “You think that 50 million US dollars is petty? Do you want me to give you all my assets?”
My Yazhe shamelessly stretched out his hand and said, “Hand it over then.”
Gong Jie scoffed, “Brother-in-law, you’re so shameless.”
Mu Yazhe returned with an elegant smile. “No matter how shameless I am, I won’t be as shameless as you. You always claim that your sister is the greatest, yet you’re only gifting a miserable fifty million. How petty.”
Gong Jie gritted his teeth and replied, “Okay, 100 million then!”
“100 million!?”
Yun Shishi sucked in another breath of cold air. She quickly did a mental conversion of 100 million US dollars into RMB.
Youyou’s heart ached as he watched from the side. He finally knew where Little Yichen got his lack of aptitude in arithmetic from. He said with heartache, “Mommy, stop counting. 100 million US dollars is about 700 million yuan.”
Clang!
Yun Shishi could almost hear the sound of the abacus.
She could feel her head spinning, as though it had been hit by wads of banknotes falling from the sky.
So much…?
Just how rich was Xiao Jie? How could a casual cash gift be a hundred million?
Yun Shishi doubted the credibility of his word.
Mu Yazhe’s lips curled into a triumphant smile. “That’s more like it. Make sure you keep your word, I’ll be waiting for your check.”
Gong Jie suddenly felt as if he had been tricked. His face was ashen, but he could not retort.
Yun Shishi comforted him. “It’s alright, Xiao Jie. When you get married, I will have your brother-in-law give you 200 million.”
Gong Jie’s eyes lit up. “Really?”
Yun Shishi nodded solemnly.
Youyou cupped his face and shouted, “Daddy, trouble’s brewing! Mommy is going to betray you!”
Little Yichen collapsed on the sofa laughing. Hugging his father’s stiff back, he laughed until he was out of breath. “Daddy, you have to start earning more money. Otherwise, when uncle gets married, you won’t be able to keep up with him!”
The man said, “I refuse. Two hundred million? I don’t have it.”
Youyou fell over laughing too.
Daddy could afford two hundred million yuan, but if he were to cough up that money, his savings would be emptied.
Among all the people present, Gong Jie probably had the highest net worth.
Youyou was well aware of Gong Jie’s family background. The man was definitely as wealthy as a country.
