Chapter 456 - 140: Wedding
"Then you couldn’t have saved up this much, right?"
"We sold the house in our old hometown." Mrs. Qin said nonchalantly:
"We had actually planned to sell the house in the city too, but Fang Zheng disagreed, since there’s your sister’s room there after all."
"..." Qin Shuman looked down:
"So, is this the money you raised from selling the house?"
"Take it!"
Mrs. Qin glared at her and said:
"Your father and I are living quite well now. It’s just three million; we’ll earn it back in a few years."
"Don’t even think about returning it to us!"
"Okay." Qin Shuman bit her lip, nodded heavily, forcing herself not to cry.
"Come on."
Mrs. Qin helped her wipe her tears and pulled her back:
"Meet your brother-in-law, he has a gift for you too."
Fang Zheng had been following Father Qin and Mrs. Qin closely, but today he was very low-key and almost unnoticeable.
Only Shen Xiuting, who was helping around, noticed him and hesitated to greet him.
"Brother-in-law!"
Qin Shuman came over with red eyes:
"Thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Fang Zheng shook his head:
"Bringing your parents over is what I should do."
He continued:
"I’ve heard you didn’t prepare a wedding house?"
"Yes."
Qin Shuman looked embarrassed and continued:
"My father-in-law will pay for it after the new year, and my parents have given money too, so we can choose a better one."
"Living with parents is always inconvenient." Fang Zheng waved Tian Liang over and took out a property deed from his briefcase.
"I have a house in Hai Province, bought it but never lived there, this time I’ll give it as a wedding gift to you."
"I haven’t been there; although it’s fully furnished, I’m not sure about the specifics; you might need to spend some effort refurbishing it."
"Ah!"
Qin Shuman was taken aback, immediately waving her hand:
"No way!"
"That’s too valuable!"
"It’s not a big deal." Fang Zheng’s voice deepened:
"I promised your sister I’d take good care of you, and to me, a house is nothing."
"Take it!"
He stuffed the deed into her hand as he spoke.
Qin Shuman looked dazed, staring at the property deed in her hand, unsure how to react.
She opened the deed, and inside was a key, the name on the deed had been changed to hers.
Longxi Street...
Isn’t this located at the center of Hai Province, next to a natural oxygen bar, hailed as the most luxurious villa area?
Every house there is worth billions!
Qin Shuman looked bewildered:
"Brother... Brother-in-law..."
"Take it." Fang Zheng said:
"It’s a premarital property, if you run into trouble in the future, you can call me."
"By the way."
He glanced around the venue and asked:
"Is there a quieter room available?"
"Sorry." Mrs. Jin had been eyeing the situation, especially scrutinizing the in-laws.
Today, Father Qin and Mrs. Qin’s attire made them look somewhat rustic, causing internal discomfort.
Upon hearing this, she spoke:
"This is the Peninsula Hotel; it’s quite pricey and the private rooms are scarce, we’ve only prepared one for several of old Jin’s business friends."
"No worries." Father Qin waved politely:
"We’re fine sitting outside."
"No way!"
Qin Shuman suddenly spoke up:
"My parents and brother-in-law need to sit in a private room; if there aren’t enough rooms, book another one; I’ll find the hotel manager."
She had always been meek in the Jin Family, never assertive. Her firm stance caught Mrs. Jin off guard.
Now that her family was here, did she find new backing?
"Forget it, forget it."
Mrs. Qin hurriedly grabbed her hand and whispered:
"Outside will do just fine, and... aren’t you having the wedding here? I want to see."
"Mom!"
Qin Shuman turned around and thought for a moment:
"Watching the ceremony can be outside, but during the meal, we have to sit in a private room, or else there won’t be a wedding!"
"You child." Mrs. Jin’s face changed drastically upon hearing:
"How can you say that?"
"Shuman." Mrs. Qin also said:
"Don’t be so stubborn."
"That’s exactly what I mean." Qin Shuman said with her head down:
"I’m getting married, why should my parents sit outside? Should I tell everyone I’m being bullied?"
"Hmm?"
Mrs. Qin’s movements paused, and she then glanced at Mrs. Jin with a clearly hostile expression.
This woman wouldn’t bully her precious daughter, right?
That won’t do!
"Jin Jie!"
Mr. Jin shook his head and called over his son:
"Go find the hotel manager and book another private room."
"Alright."
Jin Jie nodded and hurried over:
"Dad, Mom, let’s go inside first."
"Brother-in-law."
He looked at Fang Zheng and scratched his head:
"Have a seat inside, I’ll get a private room."
"Okay."
Fang Zheng nodded.
Things finally settled down, and Qin Shuman stopped greeting other guests, taking Mrs. Qin’s arm and heading inside.
"Excuse me."
At this point, a middle-aged man in a suit appeared at the entrance and asked Shen Xiuting, who was watching the commotion:
"Is this where Qin Shuman’s wedding is held?"
"Miss Qin?"
Shen Xiuting’s face twisted:
"Uncle, which era are you from? But yes, this is where Sister Shuman is getting married."
"That’s right."
The middle-aged man nodded and took two items from his bag, placing them on the registration table:
"Please record, West Continent Chen Family’s gift of six hundred thousand, along with a sports car worth one million eight hundred thousand and shares from Ming Company."
"Hmm?"
"Ah!"
"..."
Nearby conversations suddenly stopped.
Everyone turned to look; the sports car and shares were unseen, but the six hundred thousand in cash was certainly visible.
"Un... Uncle."
Shen Xiuting stammered:
"Are you at the wrong place?"
"No, I’m not." The middle-aged man cautiously glanced at the crowd, seemingly pausing on someone, then quickly looked away:
