Jiang Meng raised his neck with a smug look on his face.
"Not much, five thousand yuan."
A few low gasps were heard from the crowd.
Even for a girl from Beijing, the bride price wouldn't be so high.
The Jiang family asked for five thousand yuan. They are really crazy because they are poor!
Gao Qiaolan's expression remained unchanged, as she continued indifferently, "You two should get up first and explain the situation clearly. The Lu family will naturally give you what you deserve."
Jiang Meng's eyes rolled. "No, your Lu family is powerful, so why would you bully us poor people? This little money is just a drop in the bucket for you!"
Jiang Ningyan couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked up and pulled up He Qiuju, who was lying there making a scene.
"There's nothing going on between me and Lu Bingchuan. Don't go too far. I'll call the police and arrest you for extortion!"
He Qiuju grabbed her collar and cursed at her.
"Who's blackmailing you? You little loser, you're just letting yourself be taken advantage of, and you don't even get a penny. Did someone kick you in the head?"
"You've forgotten your mother because you've had a man. I should have thrown you into the mountains to feed the wolves!"
"Let her go."
The sound of military boots hitting the ground was dull and powerful. He Qiuju's scalp went numb and she subconsciously let go of her hand.
Lu Bingchuan strode forward and pulled Jiang Ningyan behind him.
After a careful examination and confirmation that she was not injured, I finally felt relieved.
Jiang Meng was frightened by his aura for a moment, then immediately smiled.
"My dear son-in-law, you are finally here!"
"Hurry up and tell everyone that my daughter is yours, the daughter-in-law of your Lu family!"
With Lu Bingchuan around, the vampire parents’ blackmail will never succeed.
Jiang Ningyan had just breathed a sigh of relief when her hand was tightly grasped by the man beside her, and his cold voice came to her ears.
"Yeah, we're dating."
Jiang Ningyan's pupils trembled, and she didn't even have time to stop it.
Just say it so frankly?
Jiang Meng was ecstatic and shouted triumphantly to the crowd.
"Did you hear me? I'm not talking nonsense. My daughter is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family!"
Most people had strange expressions on their faces, their eyes full of disgust and disdain.
How could the Lu family possibly accept a daughter raised by such a person?
At an angle invisible to everyone, Jiang Ningyan pinched the man's fingertips.
"Don't agree to their betrothal gift."
Five thousand yuan was just a test from Jiang Meng and He Qiuju.
If we really give it to them, they will taste the sweetness and will find ways to cause trouble endlessly.
Lu Bingchuan didn't answer her, but took a few steps forward with a cold look in his eyes.
"It's getting late. I'll arrange accommodation for you. We can talk about the rest tomorrow."
Jiang Meng was of course not satisfied and opened his mouth to argue, but as soon as he met Lu Bingchuan's gaze, he felt cold all over and couldn't utter a word.
When he was young, he was the captain of the village security team. He had a cruel and explosive temper and no one dared to mess with him.
But there was a gloominess in Lu Bingchuan's eyes that he had never seen before, making people feel that if they didn't listen to him, they would die a miserable death.
Jiang Meng is afraid of death and cherishes his life, so he doesn't have the courage to challenge.
He took two steps back, a flattering smile on his face, "Yes, son-in-law is right, let's take a rest for the night, and we can talk about it tomorrow if there is anything."
Chengxu walked over and helped He Qiuju up from the ground, with quite a bit of strength.
"You two, follow me."
As soon as Lu Bingchuan appeared, the two shameless people stopped fighting so quickly, which was something the people around them did not expect.
When there was nothing exciting to watch, the crowd naturally dispersed.
Jiang Ningyan then saw a military vehicle parked a little further away.
Lu Guohua was standing in front of the car, looking in this direction with a serious expression.
It looks like they've arrived a long time ago.
She remembered that Lu Guohua attached great importance to the reputation of the Lu family and had never tolerated anything like smearing or throwing dirty water on them.
This time, she and Lu Bingchuan started dating quietly, and her parents even came to make trouble, bringing shame to the Lu family.
I'm afraid I really can't stay here any longer.
Jiang Ningyan lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling, and her shoulders suddenly sank.
An army green coat was put on her, and her slightly cold hands were wrapped in warm palms.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine."
Lu Bingchuan took her hand and led her back to the yard calmly.
When Aunt Liu saw this scene, she was stunned at first, then she smiled happily and invited them into the house.
After a while, Lu Guohua and Gao Qiaolan came back side by side.
Jiang Ningyan's breathing was not smooth, so she took the initiative to explain.
"Uncle Lu, Aunt Lan, everything that happened today is my fault. It's because I didn't tell my parents well that they came to Jing City to cause trouble."
Unexpectedly, Lu Guohua shook his head slightly.
"I don't blame you. You and Bingchuan are already together. Your parents and I will have to meet and talk sooner or later."
Jiang Ningyan was a little nervous. "The conditions they proposed are too extreme. I will go tonight to persuade them to change their minds."
Although she said this, she had no idea what was going on.
After all, the Jiang couple gave birth to her, so she couldn't just beat them back except to persuade them with words.
What's more, they are such difficult people.
Gao Qiaolan had her own ideas. "Don't worry, Ningyan girl. I'll give them the five thousand yuan, but I have to make them promise not to have any contact with you anymore."
"From now on, you are a member of our Lu family and have nothing to do with them!"
Jiang Ningyan shook her head, "Aunt Lan, let me think about it."
As he remembered, the original owner was hungry and cold, had to do all kinds of work, and nearly froze to death in the snow twice.
Fortunately, she grew up later. Jiang Meng thought that she could be exchanged for a lot of dowry in the future, so he didn't let her work in the wind and sun, just to maintain a fair and beautiful skin.
Five thousand yuan is too cheap for them.
After dinner, Lu’s parents went back to their room to rest.
Jiang Ningyan glanced at the man next to her and happened to see a slight curve on his thin lips.
"Are you happy?"
Lu Bingchuan tilted his head, his dark eyes much gentler than usual, "Of course I'm happy that our relationship is public."
When this was brought up, Jiang Ningyan tugged at his sleeve, "Did you do that on purpose? There was no need to say that."
Jiang Meng and He Qiuju were determined to be single and no matter how much they threw a tantrum, they would not gain anything in the end.
Lu Bingchuan raised his eyebrows slightly and admitted frankly, "I did it on purpose. I've wanted to do this for a long time."
She is so popular. If she doesn't make it public, who knows how many wild men she will attract.
Jiang Ningyan just felt a headache. If this matter spread from one person to ten, then to a hundred, then everyone would know about it in one night.
In addition to Su Pianran who was put in jail, Qin Qingmeng and Lin Jingwan will definitely get the news.
Consequences...Will Lu Bingchuan, who was extremely lucky in love in the original book, end up living alone because of her?
But why is she a little happy?
Jiang Ningyan curled her lips and looked at him with her watery eyes, "Just this once, don't talk nonsense about our affairs in the future."
Lu Bingchuan was silent for a moment, then raised his arms, put them around her waist, and pulled her into his arms.
Her lips pursed into a straight line betrayed her displeasure. "Have you never considered that I might be insecure?"
