party was still not satisfied.Thirty thousand, perhaps for those big bosses, it's just a meal's worth of money, but for his family, it would probably take several years of hard work to save up.After...On Mid-Autumn Festival day, Su Tie especially invited his friend Chen Yan and her family to Liming Hotel.
For this meal today, he spent nearly two months' wages, which was quite a pain for him. But for the sake of the big event, he gritted his teeth and endured it.
He hadn't expected that, the attitude of his friend's family almost made him furious.
Aunt, you know our family situation. 300,000 yuan for the dowry, plus a wedding house, is all my parents have scraped together by not eating or drinking. Now we also need to host the wedding. You suddenly asking for a full payment for a car now really puts us in a tough spot. Could you please consider delaying it a bit
Su Tie's hand trembled as he looked at Chen Yan's mother, whose face was pale and heavy with worry. He felt a knot of unease in his stomach.
Several months ago, he got engaged to his friend Chen Yan. His family offered a dowry of 300,000 yuan and the down payment for a two-bedroom apartment in Linjiang City. They plan to get married at the end of the year.
To my surprise, when I got here today, the other party suddenly proposed adding another 300,000 yuan vehicle and requiring full payment.
This was a condition his family, who were not well-off, could simply not afford.
So you're just going to add one more car, is that really such a big deal You keep saying how much you care about our Yanyan, but in the end, you're not even willing to buy her a car. Are you truly sincere If you don't want to marry her, just say so! There are plenty of other rich second-generation guys who are interested in Yanyan.
Across from the cycad sat Chen Yan's mother, Zhang QiaoYu, her face grim and impatient. "Again These days, which marriage doesn't come with a house *and* a car You only have a down payment on the house, I wouldn't mind that, but you can't even afford to buy a car now If this gets out, where will we put Chen family's face"
Upon hearing this, Su Tie let out a wry smile.
His family was average, his father had retired early due to injuries sustained while on duty, and his mother sold buns at a university town. After graduating, he worked as an intern at a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
In order to marry Chen Yan, he had emptied his entire family fortune, but the other party was still not satisfied.
Thirty thousand, perhaps for those big bosses, it's just a meal's worth of money, but for his family, it would probably take several years of hard work to save up.
After a moment's pause, he hurriedly nudged his friend Chen Yan, who was playing on her phone beside him, hoping she would say a few words to help.
Cycad, I think what my mom said makes sense. From now on, even me will be part of your family. Why don't you want to buy a car for me even though my mom asked you to Are you truly sincere with me Chen Yan put her phone away and looked at Cycad, saying coldly.
Hearing this from Yu, Su Tie's heart sank. He hadn't expected Yu to say such things, not even helping him smooth things over, but instead questioning him.
At this time, Chen Daqing, Chen Yan's father who was sitting beside him smoking, threw his cigarette butt on the ground and impatiently said: Su Tie, I won't say much more. If you want to marry Chen Yan, you must pay for this car. For Chen Peng's marriage, the Fang family demanded a car as well.
Besides, my thought is that you and Yanyan's wedding can be held later, letting Chen Peng get married first. His wedding house and decoration still need your and Chen Yan's help to solve.
What Cycad was stunned and thought he had misheard.
Chen Peng is Chen Yan's younger brother. He was raised with a silver spoon since childhood. He didn't finish junior high school and has been drifting around society ever since. He's lazy and good-for-nothing, relying on his parents for support even at over twenty years old.
Before this, I had heard that he was getting married and thought about helping if I could, but I never expected that he had already figured me out.
Besides, he seemed to understand. Chen Yan's parents suddenly suggesting buying a car was obviously for Chen Peng's wedding.
He got married, why should I help him with money Besides, how can I help him solve the housing problem Su Tie was angry and didn't know what to do.
Chen Daqing snorted coldly and said loudly: "What do you mean, what do you mean After Chen Yan marries you, Chen Peng will be your brother. You are a family. It's thicker than water. What's wrong with helping him"
Faced with Chen Yan's aggressive family, Su Tie was already so angry that he couldn't speak, only feeling a buzzing in his head.
At this time, Chen Yan, who was playing with her phone, suddenly said: Su Tie, I remember your parents have a house in Jiangyuan Community, and the mortgage should be paid off, right
What do you mean Su Tie furrowed her brows and hurriedly asked.
Chen Yan hesitated for a moment before saying: "That house is a bit old, but it's in a good location and close to where I work. After we get married, let's live there for a few years. We can use our wedding house to buy Chen Peng a house when he gets married. When we have more money later, we can buy a new one."
Okay, okay, well said. Su Tiekou was speechless with anger. It's understandable that he changed his mind before marriage, but now he even wants to take his parents' house into consideration
Especially You Chenyan, she actually thinks the same way.
He suppressed his anger and said in a low voice, "I can think of another way about the bridal suite, but buying a car in full payment, our family can't afford that much money. If you can do it, then fine, if not, let's break up."
"Isn't it just thirty thousand Why are you breaking up with me because of this You can ask your parents to borrow from relatives, they'll definitely lend you some. If not, you can take out a loan." Chen Yan said dissatisfiedly.
Looking at Chen Yan's righteous and imposing manner, Su Tie felt a surge of anger welling up inside him. His vision darkened, and he almost fainted.
Chen Yan, you are really interesting. My parents are so old, why would you ask them to take out a loan How will they ever pay it back How could you say such a thing Su Tieqiang held back his anger and said in a low voice.
Then Chen Yan immediately said in a wronged tone: “What did I say He’s my own brother, why are you helping him Are you even a man”
"Am I not a man" Su Tieqi almost laughed out loud.
To get married, he almost emptied his parents' retirement money. He worked day and night, and now he says he's not a man
He's come to realize that this friend he's had for five years, who he thought was a confidant, is nothing but a living "little brother complex" person.
Cycad, if you don't want to, then break up. Liu Ke doesn't have your petty attitude. Just then, Chen Yan suddenly mumbled.
Cycad was taken aback and hurriedly raised his head, inquiring: "Liu, which Liu What do you mean"
Of course it's me, in our Linjiang City who else would dare to Liu Just then, a disdainful voice suddenly came from outside the private room.
Then, a young man in a suit and tie, handsome and well-dressed, walked in.
Liu Feng, how is it you Upon seeing the visitor, Su Tie only felt a jolt in his brain, and suddenly stood up.
This Liu Feng was his college classmate, a famous playboy. His father is a senior manager at Linjiang Pharmaceutical Industry with assets worth tens of millions.
He has slept with dozens of girls, maybe even over a hundred. Among Su Tiezhi's classmates alone, there are ten or so who have been with Liu Feng. Some are even pregnant.
Upon seeing this scoundrel's appearance, Su Tie's heart immediately flashed a bad premonition.
