After much thought, Mei Bing still couldn't figure out whether Tengteng was a fraudster or not. In the end, Mei Bing decided to observe him further before making a decision.
Tengteng and Meibing attracted attention as soon as they entered the mall. Not because they were handsome and beautiful, but because... they had never seen a man with two slap marks on his face dare to come to a mall. Moreover, the slap marks on the man's face were obviously from a woman.
Wherever Tengteng and Meibing went, people stared at them. Meibing was fine at first. But after receiving so much attention, she started to feel a little embarrassed.
Tengteng was completely unaffected.
After walking around the mall with Mei Bing for a while, Tengteng found a salesperson and said, "Hello, is your manager here? I'd like to talk to your manager about something."
The waitress's mouth moved slightly. She wanted to ask Tengteng: Are you and the woman next to you husband and wife? Was the slap mark on your face from this woman? But… this is working hours. The waitress tried her best to suppress her gossipy thoughts. However, she couldn't help but ask with a hint of curiosity: "Hello, may I ask what you need from our manager?"
Tengteng: "Buy things."
The waiter was a little disappointed: "Then you can just come to me. What would you like to buy?"
Tengteng: "I bought a lot of things."
Waiter: Oh, is that so? Then please tell me what you'd like to buy first, and then I'll report to our manager.
"Okay. I want to buy it..."
The more Tengteng spoke, the wider the waiter's eyes widened. When Tengteng had only spoken a quarter of the way, the waiter interrupted him. "Sir, you don't need to say anymore. I'll take you to our manager right now."
Okay. Thank you.
"You're welcome. This way, please."
"good."
Tengteng took a few steps and realized that Meibing hadn't followed, so he turned back and grabbed Meibing's hand: "Let's go."
Mei Bing looked at Tengteng and asked, "Are you really going to buy it?"
"Of course I really bought it. Let's go."
Mei Bing followed along, half believing and half doubting.
The waiter introduced Tengteng and the manager.
After shaking hands with the manager, Tengteng told him what he wanted to buy.
The manager was pleased to hear this. However, seeing that neither Tengteng nor Meibing seemed wealthy, he worried that Tengteng might not be able to afford it. "Sir, you've ordered quite a few things. Let me have the accountant calculate the total price of everything you've ordered. After that, I'll see how much of a discount I can offer you."
"Okay." Tengteng knew the manager wanted to see if he could afford it. Tengteng took a bank card out of his pocket and placed it on the manager's desk. "Fine."
The manager could tell from the color of the bank card Tengteng pulled out that Tengteng could afford it. "Okay. I'll pay now..."
"Wait a minute." Mei Bing picked Tengteng's bank card up from the table. "We're not buying that much." Mei Bing knew Tengteng wasn't a scammer as soon as she saw the bank card. However, another question lingered in Mei Bing's mind: How did Tengteng have so much money?
Tengteng: "Honey, didn't we agree on this?"
Mei Bing glared at Tengteng: "I don't want that much anymore."
Tengteng: "I..."
Tengteng had only uttered two words when Mei Bing pointed at Tengteng's face and looked at the manager, saying, "Who do you think is in charge between the two of us?"
The manager looked at Mei Bing's hand and then at the handprint on Tengteng's face. "You."
Mei Bing smiled: "Okay, Manager, he made me angry just now. So I wanted to see if he... um... still loved me like before. So I asked him for a bunch of things. Now, I know he still loves me like before. Manager, I'm sorry for the trouble."
The order that was practically in hand slipped away, leaving the manager frustrated. However, the manager glanced at Tengteng's face. The manager figured Mei Bing must be incredibly capable. Otherwise, Tengteng wouldn't have brought her to the mall to shop despite being beaten. The manager didn't want to provoke Mei Bing, but also felt they hadn't spent much time on the deal. Besides, Mei Bing wasn't exactly a complete slacker. Therefore, the manager's attitude remained polite: "No trouble at all. What do you need? I'll have them prepare it for you."
“Okay, we want to buy…” What Mei Bing said was less than a tenth of what Tengteng said.
After Mei Bing finished speaking, before the manager could say anything, Tengteng objected. "No. It's too little. Wife..."
Mei Bing glanced at Tengteng: "Do you still want to come to my house?"
Tengteng: "Uh..."
Mei Bing looked at the manager and said, "Thank you for your help."
Manager: "No trouble at all. Please wait a moment."
Mei Bing: "Okay. Thank you."
Half an hour later, another bizarre scene unfolded in the mall. A woman strode towards the exit, followed by a man with two handprints on his face, carrying a pile of groceries and urging her to buy more. The woman refused, but the man persisted in his persuasion.
Those who saw them thought to themselves: Strange things happen every year, but this year there seem to be more than usual.
As soon as they got in the car, Mei Bing asked Tengteng, "How do you have so much money?"
“My mother gave me some money a few years ago. Then I invested that money in my younger brother. I have a younger brother who likes to do business.”
Mei Bing: "You're in business?"
Tengteng smiled and said, "I won't do it, my brother will." Of course, Tengteng didn't just give him the money and then ignore everything.
"But you gave the money to your brother."
"That's a private matter between my brothers. It has nothing to do with my brother's company."
Mei Bing understood. "I remember you said you have six children."
"Um."
"You joined the army, and you have a younger brother who goes into business, but what about the others?"
Tengteng briefly explained his family situation to Meibing.
Mei Bing was taken aback after hearing this: "I didn't expect your family to have such high standards."
Tengteng smiled and said, "Your family's threshold isn't low either."
Mei Bing initially thought Tengteng came from a fairly ordinary background. But she never expected… “Shouldn’t you have told your parents before you went to my house?”
As Tengteng drove, he said, "My mom and dad will definitely agree."
"Why?"
"Because I love you, and you don't have any bad habits, my parents will definitely agree."
Mei Bing didn't know Xiaoman and Han Bin. So, she said, "You should make a call first. If you go to my house and your parents don't approve..."
"Okay." Tengteng found a place to park the car and then called Xiaoman.
After listening, Xiaoman thought for a moment and said, "I have no objection. You can talk to your dad about it."
"good."
After receiving Tengteng's call, Han Bin's first question was: Did your mother agree?
After learning that Xiaoman had agreed, Han Bin thought for a moment and asked, "Where are you now?"
Tengteng told Han Bin his location.
After listening, Han Bin thought for a moment and said, "Stay there and don't move. I'll call you in a bit."
Tengteng was stunned for a moment: "Dad, Mom agreed."
"I know."
"That……"
"What do you mean 'wait there'? Just wait there when I tell you to."
“Okay. Dad, let me tell you, Mei Bing…” Tengteng told Han Bin about Mei Bing’s basic situation.
Han Bin: "I understand. I'll call you back in a bit."
"All right."
