Chapter 737 - 711: If You’re Not Afraid of Being Embarrassed, Just Keep Waiting
Realizing that every word cut deep and he couldn’t win a verbal fight with Qian, Ma Lv turned his gaze to his elder brother, hoping big brother would tell his bodyguards to step back.
"My parents really like Liumei. They traveled all the way here just to see Liumei. I hope you let me talk to Liumei again. I’m afraid my parents might not be able to handle it physically."
Using the elderly as an excuse again! This old trick barely works on Liumei and you think you can fool the sly big brother?
Big brother nodded solemnly and spoke to Ma Lv seriously.
"It’s true it’s not easy coming from far. Even after breaking up, it feels bad to send you back empty-handed. Qian, what do you think we should do?"
"Here’s what, to make up for your family’s long journey, today you can pick any house you like and big brother will give you a 5% discount off the full price.
Big brother chuckled internally, Qian’er is truly wicked; if the Ma Family could pay the full amount, why would they have relied on Liumei?
It’s like dangling a juicy piece of meat in front of Ma Lv’s face before dropping it to the ground and stomping on it; not giving it to him, just infuriating him!
As for Qian’s heartless actions, big brother wanted to say, "Nicely done!"
Sometimes Qian also admires some people’s thick skin, like Ma Lv.
Liumei has already made things so clear, if he had the self-respect and backbone he claimed to have before, he should have turned around and left.
But he just wouldn’t leave; big brother’s bodyguards stopped him from going over to find Liumei and Fugui, so he resorted to soft persuasion with big brother.
Big brother was too lazy to entangle with such people. He had enjoyed the spectacle and collected enough gossip to report back to his wife, so he ignored Ma Lv and spoke to Qian.
"You’ve got this here; I’m going to meet with some people from the city."
Qian nodded, big brother left the bodyguards to help out and departed. Qian, looking down on Ma Lv, said:
"Our Meizi has soft hands, and according to the principles of astrology, women with soft hands have particularly good luck with men. It certainly seems true now; good women are always in high demand, if you don’t cherish them, someone else will come to snatch them instantly!"
"Fourth sister-in-law, shall I kick him out?" The bodyguard asked Qian respectfully.
He had followed Mr. Yu for many years and knew this formidable woman was one of the Yu Family’s daughters-in-law. The boss treated her with great respect, so he was especially deferential to Qian.
This deference, in Ma Lv’s eyes, had another meaning.
Fourth sister-in-law...this woman isn’t a mistress, she’s the fourth wife?!
"No need to kick him out; he’s a guest in our shop. If he wants to stay, let him be, just make sure he and his family don’t come over to bother us." Qian said with a queen-like demeanor, her tone light but her words unmerciful towards Ma Lv.
"I want you to see with your own eyes what you have lost."
Once some things are missed, it’s for a lifetime. Qian aims to torment Ma Lv, to make him regret for the rest of his life. No one can play with the emotions of those around Qian under her watchful eyes, no one!
Qian left elegantly, she was about to reward herself with her own internal prize after all.
The bodyguard kindly advised Ma Lv, "If I were you, I’d take my family and leave quickly, don’t provoke our fourth sister-in-law."
"I won’t leave!" Ma Lv was defiant; he couldn’t believe that a mere "fourth sister-in-law" could ruin all his two-year relationship just like that. He’d stay for one last effort; he had to win back Liumei’s money!
No, it’s about winning back Liumei’s heart!!!
Good advice is hard to heed for someone doomed... The bodyguard sympathetically glanced at Ma Lv; this guy probably didn’t know who he had provoked yet.
Forget it, the fourth sister-in-law said as long as he kept watch, not allowing anyone over to make trouble, then he’d just fulfill his duty. If this fool wanted to stay, let him stay.
Fugui and Liumei were sitting in the front row VIP seats waiting for the draw, and Liumei seemed a bit down after the breakup incident.
Right now, her emotions were all over the place; breaking up with her ex, Fugui fighting with Ma Lv, she really wanted to leave and sort out these relationships properly, but Fugui wouldn’t let her go, claiming she hadn’t done anything wrong, so why should she be the first to leave? The other family should be the ones to scram!
The stubbornness of intellectuals showed at this moment; Fugui had completely overturned the gentlemanly image in Liumei’s mind today. He could actually get into fights and even use foul language, yet he would still hold Liumei’s hand...
Thinking about the way he held her hand, Liumei felt even more confused and a bit nervous with inexplicable complex emotions.
Qian came back after handling Ma Lv’s issues.
"Qian’er, hurry, it’s about to start." Fugui called over to Qian, Qian nodded and sat down on Liumei’s left side. Now Liumei had Qian on the left and Fugui on the right. Sitting next to Fugui, Liumei felt things were different from usual; her heart was all tangled up.
"Liumei!" Ma Lv came in and shouted Liumei’s name, causing the others to turn their heads.
The location was the second-floor auditorium of the sales office, filled with homeowners who signed today’s contracts. Upon hearing the sound, everyone turned their heads, and Liumei also looked back.
Ma Lv immediately gazed at Liumei with deep eyes filled with love, showing a relentless and affectionate look.
But Liumei glanced at him and then turned her head away; all those waves of longing gaze offered nothing. Instead, Qian and Liao Fugui turned their heads, amazed by Ma Lv’s shamelessness.
Ma Lv wanted to go over to Liumei again, but the bodyguard was still there. He hadn’t neglected his duty.
"Sir, you cannot go over there. If you try, I’ll call my brothers to take you out. Only homeowners with purchase contracts can come in here; do you have a purchase contract?"
"..." How could he possibly have one! The woman who could buy a house was snatched away by someone else!
Ma Lv had no choice but to retreat; as soon as he stepped outside, he saw his family scowling impatiently as they approached.
"Where have you been! We couldn’t find you! The draw is starting, and isn’t there supposed to be a meal afterward? Why can’t we get in? Where’s Liumei gone?" Mrs. Ma had just seen Liumei go in, she wanted to follow, but was stopped at the door, fuming inwardly.
Ma Lv’s heart burned even more with anger, but he couldn’t admit Liumei had ditched him.
"You should head back first; I have some things to deal with."
"Weren’t we supposed to eat?" Ma Qing was not satisfied; she was wearing the dress she bought for 250 yesterday, all ready for the rumored lobster and abalone sumptuous buffet.
"Eat what! Just go home!" Ma Lv became irritable just looking at her.
"Mom, look at what my brother is doing!" Ma Qing still hadn’t figured out the situation.
"Lv, did you buy the house today?" Mrs. Ma also didn’t understand what was going on, dreaming of buying a house and becoming city people.
"Go home!" Ma Lv exploded; these embarrassing relatives had caused him to lose his chance to rise. It’s so annoying!
Tut tut, the bodyguard standing on the side made a face of distaste; the ugliness of human nature, where even for money, one could fight with outsiders and also turn against one’s own family. This man just told the fourth sister-in-law how filial he was, yet it didn’t look like he was that filial...
Having driven away his clueless relatives, Ma Lv stubbornly stood by the entrance waiting. He couldn’t see what was happening inside the banquet hall, but he could hear the sounds from the loudspeakers. There was a performance going on.
He would wait until Liumei came out.
The bodyguard went inside to report the situation to Qian, who curled her lips into a smile, "If he’s willing to wait, let him wait. If he’s not afraid of being embarrassed, just let him continue waiting."
