Chapter 142: Formal Breakup (Page 1/2)
The Bai family was stunned to see Huo Qingyan so serious, especially Bai Lingling. She held her sister-in-law He Miao tightly and muttered in a low voice:
"Didn't my sister say before that my brother-in-law was very generous and easy to talk to? How did he become like this now?"
He Miao really couldn't bear to see Bai Shanshan miss this marriage. After all, when she married Bai Yufei, the Bai family only gave her a betrothal gift of 168 yuan.
Her family had no complaints about this and happily sent her out of the house. Since marrying into the Bai family, Bai Yufei has taken over her father-in-law's job, and she has an income every month. Isn't this great?
I tried to coax my mother-in-law, and she said that when she gave birth to her eldest grandson, she would let her take over her job. How great is that!
Since the Huo family is unwilling to pay so much for the betrothal gift, why not let Shanshan marry this Huo man first?
After marriage, as their relationship grows deeper, wouldn't it be easy for him to give money to subsidize his parents' home by just blowing his breeze beside his pillow?
After figuring out the key points, He Miao let go of Bai Lingling's hand, a smile appeared on his face, and he began to mediate:
"Shanshan, since they're only willing to pay 500 yuan for the bride price, then accept it. This amount is unprecedented in the cotton mill.
Things like bicycles can be purchased after you get married when you have actual needs for them. Of course, watches are a must.
After all, marriage is a major event in life, otherwise those girls in the art troupe will definitely look down on you."
After He Miao finished speaking, he looked at the Huo family. Bai Shanshan was not stupid either. When she heard what her sister-in-law said, she immediately changed her words.
"Five hundred is the betrothal gift, the bicycle and sewing machine can be bought later, but you must buy the watch, as well as a pig and a sheep. If your family doesn't want to hold a wedding banquet, we will go back to our hometown to hold one."
Bai Hualin and Deng Qiuyan were very unwilling. Seeing their daughter do this, they thought about it and decided to take a step back.
Bai Hualin said, "Then let's do as my Shanshan said. Do you have any objections?"
How could Huo Junshan and Xiao Ya not see that this was the Bai family's delaying tactic? Of course, Huo Qingyan, the sixth brother, also saw it. He frowned and said, "Shanshan, are you going to buy me a watch?"
"Aren't you pilots not allowed to wear watches? Wearing a watch in the air will cause it to explode... I'm thinking of you too."
Huo Qingyan curled the corners of his mouth and smiled wickedly, "You are really a good wife, so considerate of others, why didn't I see it before.
Okay, let's get back to the point, Bai Shanshan, I think we should break up! Now it's not about the betrothal gift, but our values don't match. "
"What do you mean by different values? Just because I didn't buy you a watch? I don't agree to break up, Huo Qingyan, why are you forcing me like this?"
Huo Junshan didn't want his son to continue arguing with the Bai family, so he pulled Xiao Ya to her feet and said, "Since we can't agree, let's cancel this marriage! The cigarettes, alcohol, tea, candies, and biscuits I brought today are just a small token of my appreciation. We'll be leaving now."
Huo Junshan is a particular person. His son and Bai Shanshan objected to it. This was their first visit, and even if the marriage failed, they could not take back the gift.
If I had known this, I wouldn’t have bought Moutai. It’s a bit of a pity. It would have been great if I had taken it back for my father-in-law to drink.
If they took away the gifts they brought today, the Bai family would definitely say bad things about the Huo family everywhere, saying that their son took advantage of Bai Shanshan and took back the gifts he brought on his first visit.
Xiao Ya didn't say anything in the end. Her son spent all his money on that woman, so why should he care about these things.
Deng Qiuyan saw the Huo family was about to leave and hurriedly stopped them, "In-laws, we can discuss the betrothal gift later."
"No, let's go back."

At this time, Huo Qingyan also stood up and said, "We are leaving. Please accept these foods. After all, we have been together for a while."
Bai Shanshan burst into tears when she saw Huo Qingyan was serious. Bai Yufei saw his sister crying and yelled at Huo Qingyan, "You lied to my sister and played with her feelings. Are you planning to leave like this? If my sister gets pregnant, you will be responsible."
Huo Qingyan smiled and asked, "Is your sister pregnant?"
"She's pregnant with your child."
Huo Qingyan turned around and stared at Bai Shanshan, "Is your brother pregnant?"
Bai Shanshan stammered, "No... I'm not pregnant."
Deng Qiuyan was furious when she saw her daughter being toyed with like this. She shouted, "Huo, you bullied my daughter, and you're not going to get away like that!"
Huo Junshan and Xiao Ya had never expected that Bai Shanshan would be pregnant. At this moment, Xiao Ya was so angry that she wanted to kick her son hard. What an ignorant brat!
At this moment, Huo Qingyan spoke again, with a hint of disbelief in his tone, "Bai Shanshan, you are not really pregnant, are you?"
"No, I'm not pregnant!" Bai Shanshan denied it without hesitation.
Bai Lingling, who was standing by, asked suspiciously, "Sister, didn't you say you felt like vomiting this morning? We all thought you were pregnant."
"I...I'm just feeling a little unwell, that's all. I'm not pregnant!"
Bai Shanshan's face turned pale in an instant, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
However, Huo Qingyan did not believe her words easily. He stared at Bai Shanshan and said with a sneer:
"Bai Shanshan, it looks like you're really pregnant. But the thing is, we've never slept in the same bed together. So where did this baby in your belly come from?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room fell into a dead silence, as if even the sound of a needle dropping to the ground could be heard clearly.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Shanshan, waiting for her to give an answer.
Bai Shanshan broke down and cried, "I'm not pregnant at all. I just poked my throat while brushing my teeth this morning, and that's why I'm retching. My sister and brother are talking nonsense."
What else did Huo Qingyan not understand? His mother said there was no smoke without fire. It seemed that Bai Shanshan had a lover in the art troupe. He had originally called off the engagement and was not going to ask her to pay back the money he had spent on her.
Since it was a scam from the beginning, we must find a way to get the money back.
He walked to the table and took the things he brought today in his hand, "Bai Shanshan, I haven't even kissed you on the mouth, and you told your family that you are pregnant with my child.
Then please pay me back all the money you asked me to spend before. I will check the bills with you when I get back to the company.
I'm also taking back the things I brought today. We're officially breaking up and we'll just pretend we don't know each other."
"No, I'm not breaking up. I'm really not pregnant."
"Bai Shanshan, do you dare to go to the hospital with me for a premarital checkup? If you are a virgin, I don't want the money."
After Huo Qingyan finished speaking, he picked up his things and was about to leave. Even if the Bai family wanted to stop him, they didn't dare to. They knew whether Bai Shanshan was a virgin or not. If they really made a fuss, the Bai family would be the ones to suffer.
The Huo family left the compound and got into the car. Xiao Ya slapped Huo Qingyan on the arm and said, "You idiot! I told you not to look for a pillar, but you didn't listen. You almost became a father, didn't you?"
"Mom, how would I know if she's having an affair? Bai Shanshan behaves so gracefully and gently in front of me, but who knew she was that kind of person? Fortunately, we discovered it in time and stopped the loss in time."
