Chapter 695: 0685 is there a shortage of children?

“You…”

President Su’s face also darkened, for a long while.

“Enough, it’s useless to talk more, I just hope you truly won’t regret it!”

After leaving those words behind, President Su turned and walked towards Su Ran’s direction.

Behind him, Wen Peipei let out a string of cold laughs.

Regret?

That would be impossible in this lifetime!

In the courtyard.

Su Ran took the scissors that Qin Feng handed over and cut the red cloth on the basket.

Those around her, upon seeing this, started to talk amongst themselves.

“What do you think is inside this basket?”

“Don’t know, but it must be something very valuable!”

“This method of presenting a betrothal gift is quite novel, though…”

“This… this…”

“My God! This is…”

At that moment, a chorus of exclamations came from beside them, and everyone turned their heads to look.

Then they saw–

In the basket, there was a heap upon heap of pink-colored banknotes.

“…”

“…”

“…”

For a moment, the originally bustling courtyard fell suddenly silent.

After a long while.

“Hiss–”

Suddenly, the sound of a sharp intake of breath was heard.

The crowd snapped back to reality, and then exploded into commotion!

They could only use one exclamatory word to describe their feelings.

“Fuck!”

“Fuck fuck!!”

“It’s actually cash! Such a straightforward way of giving a gift.”

“Those baskets couldn’t all be filled with cash, could they?”

The crowd turned back to look at Su Ran, and after receiving her nod, they couldn’t wait to pull off the red cloth.

Su Ran herself was also curious; could it be that all these baskets filling the courtyard contained RMB?

Although she didn’t want to believe it, she had a hunch that this was exactly the kind of thing a man would do.

When all the red cloths covering the baskets were pulled away, and she saw the piles of pink banknotes filling the courtyard, Su Ran was at a loss for words.

Even Mo Shangjie, who was not short of cash, was rendered speechless by the sight.

“Fuck, this way of presenting a betrothal gift by our boss cannot be described as anything but insanely extravagant!”

After quite a while, Mo Shangjie finally managed to squeeze out that sentence.

Su Ran looked at the cash filling the courtyard and tugged at her lips, feeling somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Even though betrothal money is an essential part of the marriage proposal ritual, isn’t this mode of expression a bit too direct?

“Qin Feng…”

Qin Feng immediately stepped forward, “Miss Xiao Ran?”

“Tell me honestly, how much cash is here?”

Qin Feng replied respectfully, “One billion.”

Su Ran: “…”

One billion in cash?

Very well!

Very powerful!

“What? One billion?!”

In the crowd, someone exclaimed in shock!

“My God, one billion in cash, this is the first time I’ve seen so much money!”

“President Su’s fiance is really ruthless!”

“Such a way of giving a betrothal gift is absolutely unprecedented!”

Wen Peipei’s head felt as though it had been struck hard, causing her to reel and become dizzy.

She steadied her emotions, pushed through the crowd, and then saw the courtyard full of stark white cash.

She moved her lips but couldn’t utter a single word.

She stood rooted to the spot on the spot!

“One billion? Isn’t that a bit little? The boss doesn’t seem like someone who would only give one billion for a betrothal gift, right?”

Mo Shangjie spoke up at this time.

Su Ran couldn’t help but pull at the corner of her mouth, silently looking at him, “Well, how much do you think he will give?”

“Hmm… Ten billion?”

Su Ran: “…”

Hehe, so ridiculous!

At this moment, Qin Feng also nodded in agreement, “Young Master Mo isn’t wrong.”

“Huh?”

Qin Feng chuckled, “It’s not that the Boss is only giving one billion, but that’s all the bank could withdraw at once; and besides, this isn’t the betrothal gift!”

What?

Everyone was dumbfounded!

This pile of cold hard cash isn’t the betrothal gift?

Qin Feng stepped forward and handed a red envelope to Su Ran.

“Miss Xiao Ran, this is the pocket money the Boss has prepared for you. Sadly, the bank could only withdraw one billion at a time. The rest will have to be given via cheque, please don’t mind!”

Su Ran couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

She really didn’t mind receiving it all by cheque.

The thought of dragging a billion in cash to the bank to deposit made her head ache.

With that thought, she still opened the red envelope in her hand, and when she saw the number on it, she was slightly startled.

“How much is it?”

Mo Shangjie, driven by curiosity, leaned over to look, then read out the number he saw.

“Individual, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand… Wow, nine billion!! That’s more like the Boss’s style!”

He said it with such nonchalance, while the others couldn’t take it so lightly.

“Nine billion? Plus that one billion in cash, that’s ten billion!”

“This… this is too exaggerated! Ten billion is just pocket money?”

“If the pocket money is ten billion, then how much is the betrothal gift?”

Suddenly, everyone looked at Qin Feng!

Upon hearing this, Su Ran’s eyelids also twitched!

He wouldn’t really have prepared the betrothal gift separately, would he?

Qin Feng didn’t waste any time and seized the moment to continue speaking to Su Ran,

“Miss Xiao Ran, the Boss said that giving a dowry is a big deal, and it’s his first experience with this, so he isn’t sure how much should be appropriate. The Boss mentioned that you met on the 9th of February, so he decided to follow the date you met to give it, hoping you wouldn’t mind!”

The 9th of February?

He actually remembered the exact day they met so clearly?

Su Ran curved her lips, a touch of amusement welling up in her eyes.

“The betrothal gift is just a formality, I won’t mind it.”

Qin Feng nodded and took out another red envelope, looking at Su Ran, he scratched his head.

“Miss Xiao Ran, the bank couldn’t handle that much withdrawal, so it still has to be in the form of a cheque…”

Su Ran nodded, not too concerned!

Qin Feng handed her the red envelope, she unfolded it and took a glance; instantly, all her expressions froze on her face.

She opened her mouth slightly but didn’t speak for a while.

Driven by curiosity, Mo Shangjie peeked over.

“Wow, so many zeros… individual, ten, hundred, thousand, ten thousand, hundred thousand, million, ten million, a hundred… holy shit!”

Mo Shangjie’s eyes almost popped out as he couldn’t believe it, he blinked several times, grabbed the cheque from Su Ran’s hand, and stared at the numbers without blinking.

The others looked on with curiosity, waiting for a long time.

Then he finally screamed out a number–

“Holy crap! Two hundred and ninety billion! I swear…”

With that, he darted towards Su Ran like a gust of wind.

“Sister-in-law, from today onwards, you are my dear dad!”

Su Ran watched him act coquettishly and ingratiatingly, with an imaginary big wagging tail behind him, and she couldn’t help but twitch her lips!

So you’re selling out your dear dad like this, does he even know?

“Sister-in-law, to be honest, are you in need of a son?”

Li Xu and the others, watching someone act all coquettish and cute, couldn’t help but want to facepalm!

Su Ran tugged at her lip, “…No need!”

However, the other onlookers couldn’t stay calm anymore!

“Two hundred and ninety billion? My heavens, a betrothal gift of two hundred and ninety billion…”

“Including that ten billion in pocket money, that’s a total of three hundred billion, not to mention countless shops, luxury cars, and private planes… My gosh! It’s astronomical!”

“Crazy, this is insane, has the world gone mad? Can dowry even be like this?”

“This isn’t a dowry, this is clearly trying to scare someone to death! Who in this world could ever expect such treatment?”

“It seems even the Imperial Family can’t compare!”

“President Su’s fiance, exactly who is he? Could he truly be a prince from somewhere? How terrifying…”
