1001 An Incredible Amount of Betrothal Gifts

Ange sat down and cut to the chase. “Since my little sister is marrying into your country, we have to respect the local customs. I did some research and found out that betrothal gifts need to be given as a part of your custom.”

Lu Yunxiao looked at him expressionlessly with his hands slightly clenched by the sides of his body. He was thinking about how much he should give for the betrothal gift.

Ange did not know Lu Yunxiao well and this was the first time they had met officially. The moment he saw Lu Yunxiao’s reaction, he thought Lu Yunxiao was unhappy about giving a betrothal gift and instantly felt annoyed.

“What’s with your expression? Let me tell you. My little sister is marrying very far away from home and will hardly have time to go back to her hometown. What’s wrong with giving a betrothal gift? If you have a problem, I can always take my sister home immediately.”

Anya sat there looking at the shameless Ange. Just as she was about to retort, she heard Lu Yunxiao say calmly, “How much do you want for the betrothal gift?”

Anya held Lu Yunxiao’s hand and said in annoyance, “Don’t listen to him. He owes Zi Yi money and doesn’t want to fork it out himself, so he’s trying to make you give him money.”

“Hey! How could you say that, Anya? Do I look like that sort of man?” Ange was deeply disappointed by Anya when she helped an outsider. “I’m just trying to respect the local customs. If your future husband was marrying into our family, I would also prepare a large betrothal gift for him.”

Anya crossed her arms and sneered coolly.

Ange turned to look at Lu Yunxiao with all his pearly whites showing. “Brother-in-law, no one can force you to pay a betrothal gift. Also, it comes down to sincerity. I won’t demand a specific figure. Just consider how much my sister means to you and decide for yourself, okay?”

“Hmph!” Anya smiled coldly. “Why are you making things hard for him? I’m priceless in his heart. That means you can’t put a number on our love. The betrothal gift doesn’t matter.”

“You…” Ange glared at Anya. He looked at the expressionless Lu Yunxiao and said, “How about this? Let’s settle on one billion. It wasn’t easy for me to raise my sister.”

“Ange, let me remind you. You didn’t raise me.”

Ange pretended not to hear Anya’s words. Instead, he stared intently at Lu Yunxiao with a threatening look in his eyes. He made it clear he would take his sister and leave immediately if Lu Yunxiao refused to cough up the money.

Anya held Lu Yunxiao’s hand looking at him and kept signaling him to not agree to this.

Lu Yunxiao suddenly held her hand and said to Ange, “Okay.”

Ange promptly grinned.

Lu Yunxiao continued, “My money is all with my older brother. He manages my finances. I have to talk to him about it first before I can send you the money.”

Since Lu Yunxiao had already agreed to pay a betrothal gift, Ange felt there was no running away for him.

He simply nodded happily. “Sure thing.”

Now that the betrothal gift was settled, he gestured that they could leave. “It’s getting late. Why don’t you go back so that you can talk to your brother about it as soon as possible?”

Lu Yunxiao stood up.

Anya stood up along with him. She looked at Ange and said, “Don’t regret it.”

The two of them left right away.

Ange watched from behind as they left, feeling triumphant. He leaned against the seat backrest as he crossed his legs and hummed happily. “Since you tried to squeeze me for money, I can only get someone from your family to open his wallet to pay up then. Hahaha!”

When Zi Yi and Lu Jingye got home, Lu Yunxiao and Anya happened to be waiting for them in the living room downstairs.

Zi Yi was a little puzzled. “Is something going on? Why aren’t you in bed?”

Lu Yunxiao parted his lips. He wanted to tell them about Ange’s request for a betrothal gift, but he was not good at talking, so he simply said, “I need one billion.”

Lu Jingye asked, “Why do you suddenly need so much money?”

Lu Yunxiao replied, “For the betrothal gift.”

“What betrothal gifts?” Zi Yi looked at Anya perplexedly.

Anya said in embarrassment, “My brother went to see Yunxiao earlier and asked for one billions worth of betrothal gifts.”

Zi Yi promptly knew Ange’s intentions.

She laughed coldly inside, but on the surface, she said in agreement, “It’s just one billion for the betrothal gift, right? If our prospective brother-in-law wants it, then we have to give it to him, don’t we?”

As she spoke, she said to Lu Yunxiao and Anya, “We’ll contact Ange and discuss it with him. This should be done by the future husband’s elders. The two of you can just stay out of it.”

Anya looked at the smile on Zi Yi’s face and promptly knew she was plotting something.

After all, her brother was wrong to do this, so she nodded and pulled Lu Yunxiao upstairs.

“Zi Yi is right. We should stay out of this and let them handle it.”

Lu Yunxiao looked at Lu Jingye.

After Lu Jingye nodded to him, Lu Yunxiao and Anya left together.

After they went upstairs, Zi Yi smiled coldly. “Ange doesn’t want to pay up for damaging the bar. That is why he’s asking for a betrothal gift.”

Lu Jingye pondered and said, “It’s only right for him to demand a betrothal gift anyway.”

When he married Zi Yi, he did not prepare a betrothal gift. However, he bought a lot of things and sent them to the Dou family as a show of respect for Zi Yi’s family.

Zi Yi looked at Lu Jingye. She was certain he must know Ange’s true intentions.

Lu Jingye suddenly smiled and said, “Since Ange has asked our family for a betrothal gift, we can ask him for a dowry as well. It’s common practice for the woman’s family to provide a dowry which is a few times larger than the betrothal gift.”

The moment Zi Yi heard what he said, she burst out laughing.

“Good idea.”

She hurried Lu Jingye to get in touch with Ange. “Call Ange now to talk to him about the betrothal gift and dowry.”

Thanks to Lu Jingye, Ange was naturally no match for him. The discussion ended with Ange’s evil intentions completely thwarted.

Ange was very annoyed, so he wanted to take it out on someone. He proceeded to head to a luxury club for some drinks.

Unexpectedly, the luxury club was filled with gays. Shortly after sitting down, people kept trying to hit on him.

He was so infuriated that he promptly pummeled them.

After the fight broke out, he nearly ruined the luxurious club.

Ange fled through the backdoor before the cops got there.

Even though he thought of himself as an honest businessman, the moment he encountered the cops, he automatically reacted this way.

When he had finally reached a more remote area, he muttered to himself indignantly, “I’m clearly here to attend my sister’s wedding, so I should enjoy myself and relax. Why did I run?”

He felt annoyed just thinking about this and wanted to walk off like an upright man with integrity.

However, a deep voice could be heard coming from up ahead. “Take care of them.”

Following this, the surroundings went completely quiet.

Ange was always a curious man, so he automatically went toward the voice.

As he approached the voice, he heard the voice say, “Transfer one billion to me immediately.”

Ange promptly knew who the voice belonged to.

He wondered whether he should go out and say hi.

A voice said deeply, “Who is it?”

A silhouette suddenly appeared in front of him.

Before Ange could say a word, the two of them were embroiled in battle.

After fighting for a while, the man asked deeply, “Who sent you?”

Ange scoffed and answered, “If I said I just happened to pass by, would you believe me?”

“No, I won’t.”

“Then why bother asking? If it’s a fight you want, it’s a fight you get. Quit blabbering.”
