Chapter 116: Chapter 116 Car Accident_1
Su Yueru’s eyes widened in disbelief, not understanding what she had said wrong as her appetite vanished in front of the full table of food.
Even though they were Ye Fei’s relatives, Su Yueru didn’t want to put on a patient face and bear with them any longer.
"I still have work to do at the company, you guys go ahead and eat."
Su Yueru left hastily, and the frown she wore as she departed actually amused Ye Fei.
This girl, once away from Ye Fei, was always someone who could easily be set off; it was obvious from those big meetings at the Su Family’s home.
Seeing Su Yueru leave, Ma Xiuqin pursed her lips repeatedly.
"What a person."
"Really such a lady of high society, doesn’t know how to respect her elders."
"Ye Fei, you must have suffered no shortage of cold looks over the years."
Ye Fei just laughed softly without responding.
Ye Shoutian and Ma Xiuqin exchanged glances, sensing that the right moment had come.
Immediately, Ma Xiuqin said, "Ye Fei, as you know, Ye An is getting married soon."
"He’s taken a fancy to a city girl, so lively! It’s just that this bride price..."
Ye Fei had anticipated this turn of events, so he wasn’t at all surprised.
If his uncle’s family had come to see him for any reason other than money, that would have been the real surprise.
However, Ye Fei didn’t really care; after all, money was just a number to him, a matter of tens or hundreds of thousands was no problem.
"How much do you need?"
Ye Fei asked directly, and Ma Xiuqin took it as a sign of his agreement.
She immediately responded, "Three million!"
"Three million?" Ye Fei raised an eyebrow.
He asked, "Are you marrying a bride made of gold, to need three million?"
For a normal wedding, even two hundred thousand would cause grievances, so how on earth had they arrived at three million?
Besides, just for an ordinary wedding, three million was a staggeringly high figure.
Ma Xiuqin laughed and said, "I know it’s a bit much, but that amount of money shouldn’t be a problem for you, right?"
Ye Fei, patient as ever, didn’t respond but instead asked, "Why do you need so much money to get a wife?"
Ma Xiuqin and Ye Shoutian looked at each other and smiled.
"The bride price alone, since the girl is from the city, is high, and she requires one million."
"We have to get a good house for the newlyweds, which will be at least one and a half million."
"The remaining half million is for the young couple to start a business, though a bit on the smaller side, but enough for a small business."
Even with his usual composure, Ye Fei felt like his head was spinning after hearing this.
They were treating him like an ATM.
And moreover.
What kind of bride demands a million for a bride price?
Your son has able body and limbs. For buying a house, doing business, why come to me for money?
Ye Fei was not short on cash.
But to donate money for no apparent reason still felt somewhat absurd to him.
This, after all, was not just about the money.
"Uncle, Auntie, I can’t help with this..."
"A normal wedding might cost up to twenty thousand, and I’d give it without a second word, and even if Ye An wanted to pay it back later from his business earnings, that would be fine."
"But you’re asking for three million right off the bat..."
No sooner had he spoken than the old couple’s faces darkened.
Ma Xiuqin, who had a way with words, quickly said, "Ye Fei, your parents died, but it was we who raised you! Don’t forget that!"
"Now that you’re successful and impressive, how can you forget your roots?"
"Look at the car you’re driving now, the house you live in. Aren’t they worth at least ten million? What’s wrong with giving us just a little bit?"
Give.
Not borrow.
Ma Xiuqin spoke with such conviction, not seeing any fault in herself, only blaming this nephew for not understanding how to honor his family.
Then she added, "Anyway, Ye An is your brother, and you have to provide this money!"
Ye Fei was utterly exasperated.
Actually, even if his uncle took his land and house, Ye Fei had no intention of asking for them back, considering it thanks for a few months of board.
From that point on, any sentiment between the two families would have ended.
Even if relatives came to him for ten or twenty thousand for his cousin’s wedding, Ye Fei might still have given it readily.
But to ask for three million right off the bat was just too much.
And what irritated Ye Fei the most was.
The attitude of the family.
It didn’t seem like they were asking for help, but rather demanding money as if it was their due.
They spoke of family ties, but Ye Fei couldn’t see any of it.
On the other side.
Ye An drove his Audi, cruising on the streets.
He rolled down the windows, allowing his large face to be seen, occasionally peeking at the sidewalk to see if any beautiful women noticed him.
At that moment, Ye An was feeling exceptionally free-spirited and exhilarated to the max.
But then the next moment, the red light came on.
Distracted by a sidewalk beauty, Ye An drove straight through it.
In an instant, a gleam of bright silver crossed diagonally ahead.
It was a Bentley.
On the Bentley, the driver, seeing an imminent collision, jerked the steering wheel hard.
Screech!!!
The piercing sound of brakes filled the air.
Two dark tire marks appeared on the asphalt.
Unable to swerve in time, the driver slammed straight into the curb.
Crash!
Black smoke rose from the Bentley as two people tumbled out.
Ye An also slammed on the brakes, pulling over to the side of the road.
His heart racing, he took deep breaths.
Looking up, his eyes landed on that Bentley.
In a hurry, Ye An got out of the car, picked up a brick from the roadside, and threw it at the Bentley.
Before the two people could speak, Ye An lost it.
"Damn it, driving a crappy BYD and you dare to scare your daddy!"
Crash!
He turned and hurled the brick at the Bentley, making a large dent.
It turned out Ye An had never seen a Bentley before and mistook the "B" emblem for BYD’s.
