In the minds of Du Hongying and Fei Ran, one million is undoubtedly very attractive to a girl who has just graduated from college.
Du Hongying still resented Su Man for pretending last time and causing Fei Minghao to quarrel with her, so she planned to humiliate her today.
But the two of them waited from morning to noon, but there was no sign of Su Man.
"What's wrong with that damn girl? Why hasn't she come yet?"
Fei Ran was getting impatient and took off her sunglasses and threw them on the table. "Didn't you tell me who you were on the phone just now?"
Du Hongying was also furious, her face livid, "Why didn't you tell me? She has no manners at all, actually making the elders wait for her, a junior."
"Hurry up and call her again. We have to go to the auction this afternoon and don't have time to waste here." Fei Ran urged.
Without her saying anything more, Du Hongying dialed Su Man's number again.
"Hello, who is this?"
Listening to Su Man's leisurely voice, Du Hongying, who was already furious, became even more angry. "What the hell! Didn't I tell you to come to the cafe right away? What are you still dawdling about?"
"ah?"
Su Man dragged out the words, "Who asked me to go over?"
"I!"
"Where are you going?"
“Coffee shop!”
"Oh, who asked me to come over?"
"I!"
After this conversation went on for a few times, Du Hongying realized that Su Man was playing a trick on her. She was so angry that she fell backwards. "Do you think I can't do anything to you if I can't see you? If you don't come, I will go to your house to find you and let your parents know what kind of person you are!"
"Eh? That's not right. Your son has been pursuing me for half a year and even openly confessed his love to me. As soon as we confirmed our relationship, he brought me home to meet our parents. So, is your son blind?"
"You! Shut up!"
Listening to Du Hongying's heavy breathing over there, Su Man had almost finished teasing her, and said leisurely, "Alright, calm down. You keep saying that I'm uneducated, while you're crying and howling over there. Those who know, you're the one who broke up the couple, and those who don't know, they'd think your husband is having an affair."
"Who said my husband was having an affair?"
Du Hongying was so angry that she didn't care whether anyone was watching.
Fei Ran, who was sitting opposite him, didn't know the whole story. When she heard this, her expression changed instantly. "Do you know about what happened between Dad and the secretary?"
Du Hongying was confused. "What did you say?"
(Suman: Ah? Is this audible?)
Fei Ran saw Du Hongying's expression and knew that she had made a mistake. She covered it up and said, "It's nothing. I just said it casually. Don't take it seriously, Mom."
Of course Du Hongying didn't believe her going back on her word. She didn't even care about Su Man. She hung up the phone and started to interrogate Fei Ran.
Su Man listened to the busy tone on the other end, smiled and shook her head.
-
About fifteen minutes later, Su Man, who was late, finally arrived at the coffee shop that Du Hongying mentioned.
From a distance, I saw Du Hongying excitedly talking to Fei Ran, and she only calmed down when she saw her.
As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public, especially for a family like Du Hongying's. In fact, they turn a blind eye to many things and maintain a prosperous appearance.
Du Hongying wanted to show Su Man her power, so she leaned back in her chair with her arms folded. She glanced at Su Man and said in a pretentious tone, "Hey, is Ken here?"
Fei Ran didn't even bother to give her a glance, and just rolled her eyes as a greeting.
Seeing that the mother and daughter had no intention of giving up their seats, Su Man simply pulled a chair from the side and sat down, saying nonchalantly, "Since you are so sincere and have waited for me all morning, I have to give you some face, right?"
"Hey you silly girl, how can you talk to your elders like that!"
Unable to contain herself, Fei Ran started to rant, "We wanted to save some dignity for you and specially asked you out, but you're so good and you're pretending. Who do you think you are?"
"I'm your sister-in-law. Did you forget just yesterday? This kind of healthiness is a sign of premature aging. But don't worry. When I get married, I'll buy you some Melatonin to nourish your brain."
"What did you say? I must teach you a lesson today!"
Seeing that Fei Ran couldn't control herself and was about to take action, Du Hongying stopped her and said, "Stop."
After these exchanges, she realized that Su Man was not as harmless as she appeared to be, and that there was no gain by arguing with her.
Du Hongying no longer thought about how to deal with Su Man, she just wanted to get rid of this hot potato as soon as possible.
So she got straight to the point. "If I didn't understand you last time, I know you thoroughly today. My son is handsome and rich, but he's too naive to tell whether he's good or bad. I understand your desire to rise high and become rich. After all, girls your age are always thinking about how to get something for nothing while they're young."
As she spoke, she pulled out a check from her wallet. "But since you've been with Minghao, I can't let you go home empty-handed. Here's the money. Don't worry, a family like us won't treat you badly. It's definitely worth more than your youth."
From the tone of her voice, Su Man thought she was going to give her 18 million, until she took the check and saw, one million? That's it?
In fact, one million is not a small amount in terms of the amount, but it is still a bit funny that Du Hongying pretends to have ten million and throws away one million dollars.
Su Man didn't hesitate and burst out laughing.
Although Du Hongying tried her best to associate Su Man's smile with ecstasy, the playful expression on Su Man's face was too strong, making her feel uncomfortable. She asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Su Man flicked the thin check and said, "I'm laughing at you. You've been laying the groundwork for so long, but you only have such a small amount of money. Are you sure you're not here to make fun of me?"
"This little money?"
Du Hongying emphasized the words and said, "Count it carefully! That's one million!"
Su Man deliberately angered her with an exaggerated expression, "No way, no way, no one really thinks one million is a huge sum of money, right?"
"you!"
Du Hongying was about to get angry, but she reacted immediately.
She had already investigated this damn girl and found out that she was just a worker's daughter. She was definitely trying to save face by saying this.
After figuring out the whole story, Du Hongying calmed down and resumed her condescending attitude. "Oh, you're just being stubborn. I don't know if one million is a huge sum of money. I only know that you can't earn this much even if you work for decades."
"That's right, she's just showing off with her mouth, pretending to be noble." Fei Ran was not willing to be outdone and fought back with sarcasm.
Faced with their ridicule, Su Man did not explain or refute, but stopped a passing waiter.
"Towel, thanks."
"OK."
The waiter handed over a small hand towel and said, bending over, "Do you need anything else besides a towel?"
"there is none left."
Su Man casually placed the check on the tray he was holding. "Tip."
Seeing this scene, Du Hongying and Fei Ran were stunned.
Fei Ran couldn't help but say, "That's one million!"
Su Man wiped her hands with a towel and said, "So?"
