Chapter 696: 0686 Don’t look for trouble when there’s none.

At this moment, Wen Peipei’s face had turned deathly pale.

She opened her mouth, too shocked to speak.

Thirty billion?

Thirty billion in dowry?

And with all those countless shops, storefronts, and malls, by leveraging Su Ran’s current reputation to develop these properties, the future profits would be unimaginably tremendous.

The hundred billion dowry that Mo Shangjie mentioned just now was not an exaggeration at all.

And these assets were a fortune that the Su Family could never amass in their lifetime!

Gu Heng’s body shook violently, and his handsome face was left with nothing but shock and pallor.

February 9th?

It was the day he told Xiao Ran to discuss the marriage with the Su Family!

It was the day Xinyan slit her wrists, making him resolute in breaking off the engagement!

It was the day of the torrential downpour, when he left his fiancee behind to take her sister to the hospital!

So, that day, was the day Xiao Ran met that mysterious man!

And all of this was because of him!

He was the one who facilitated it all!

Who could he blame?

Who could he possibly blame?

Finally unable to bear it, Gu Heng’s steps faltered, and he leaned against the wall behind him, his facial expression a mixture of joy and sorrow!

Overwhelming regret welled up in his heart!

Yes, regret!

He had been full of regret lately, wishing he could go back to the day he made that decision!

But, a long time ago, he had lost the chance.

He didn’t even qualify for redemption or relief!

Guilt!

The guilt towards Xiao Ran would accompany him for life!

Su Xinyan’s face was stark white, her hands clenched tightly into fists.

An overwhelming hatred surged within her, twisting her entire being into a frenzy.

Su Ran!

Su Ran!

I will make sure you live a life worse than death!

In addition to being shocked, the crowd again turned their gaze towards Wen Peipei and the others.

“What did certain people just say? President Su comparing herself with her daughter? Ha, with a hundred billion dowry, is there even a chance for comparison?”

“They also said they don’t care for what President Su has to offer? Well, thirty billion in dowry, indeed, it’s quite disdainful.”

“Old Lady Su was very assertive just now; to tell you the truth, it’s the first time I’ve seen her so indifferent to fame and fortune, treating money like dirt, so incredibly fair and just. Even I can’t stay unmoved by so much money!”

“Of course not, who does Director Wen think she is? How much money hasn’t she seen? How could she possibly take an interest in what President Su has to offer?”

“Moreover, she just said President Su has been out of the Su Family for five years, having been driven away. Since she’s no longer a part of the Su Family, how much dowry President Su’s fiance gives, what does it have to do with her?”

“Isn’t that the truth, ah, thirty billion in dowry, what a pity…”

Wen Peipei’s face was so pale, it was devoid of any color, and the people’s words were like loud slaps hitting her face.

Fair and just?

Noble and righteous?

Now, these words being used on her didn’t mean anything good!

She had spoken too definitively in front of so many people just now, and she no longer had the room to back out.

Thirty billion in dowry…

The Su Family couldn’t make that much money in their lifetime!

Qin Feng saw Wen Peipei’s pallor and let out a cold laugh to himself.

Hmph!

Dare to slap the face of their young lady?

Today, let these people see what true face-slapping is!

He withdrew his gaze and then said to Su Ran:

“Miss Xiao Ran, the remaining…”

“What the hell! There’s more??”

Mo Shangjie’s smile completely faded, and his gaze towards Su Ran was one of both envy and jealousy!

“What? There’s more?!”

Everyone couldn’t help but let out a scream, already feeling numb.

And yet another wave of shock began!

A dowry worth tens of billions wasn’t enough?

There was still more?

This was enough to make anyone die of envy!

Ah! Who is it?

Who on earth is President Su’s fiance?

Utterly extravagant to the point of inhumanity!

Even Su Ran was frightened by Fu Qiyuan’s grand gesture. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Qin Feng say:

“Boss said, he personally gives this to you!”

Upon hearing this, Su Ran instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Any more, and she wouldn’t be able to handle the shock!

She stared at the check in her hand for a long time, the corners of her lips gradually turning upward.

One Hundred Yuan?

She knew it, how could she possibly be worth only One Hundred Yuan?

But he was too ruthless, not only bringing in Mo Shangjie, Li Xu, and others to back her up but also giving a dowry of tens of billions.

However, since he wanted to help her vent her frustrations, she might as well play along a bit, indulge his little scheme.

Putting the check into her bag and looking up, she saw Wen Peipei’s face, shocked and pale, watching her.

She arched an eyebrow, a smile creeping onto her lips, and then said to Qin Feng:

“Qin Feng, take this one billion in cash to the bank and deposit it into my account. This is Ah Yuan’s spending money for me!”

Su Ran’s gaze stayed on Wen Peipei’s face, and sure enough, she saw her eyes tremble violently.

Her smile deepened!

“Certainly, Miss Xiao Ran!”

Qin Feng responded, and then said to the others:

“Take all this cash to the bank.”

“Yes.”

As they began to move,

“Stop right there!”

Seeing this, Wen Peipei panicked and quickly shouted out!

But, how could these men possibly listen to her? They were under Fu Qiyuan’s command.

With the big Boss absent, naturally, the young mistress had the final say!

The young mistress hadn’t spoken, and who was Wen Peipei to have a say?

Ignoring her, the men, carrying the dowry, continued walking towards the gate.

“I told you to stop!”

Wen Peipei roared once more.

Still, no one paid her any attention, and in desperation, she could only turn her gaze to Su Ran, dressed in an air of arrogant authority.

“Su Ran, about those dowries…”

“Old Lady Su, now is really not the time to try to claim a relationship with me. As you said, I’m no longer part of the Su Family, haven’t been for five years.

Since the Su Family had no obligation to prepare a dowry for me, how much the groom’s side offers has nothing to do with you!”

The rest of the people looked at Wen Peipei with scorn and disdain, scoffing.

“It seems we overestimated Director Wen, still showing her true colors at the sight of money!”

“One moment she’s all righteous, and now she wants to contradict herself? Having second thoughts?”

“All that shiny money, oh, how can anyone who values money as life not be tempted?”

“On one hand, you say President Su isn’t part of the Su Family and has no obligation to prepare a dowry for her, yet on the other hand, you’re openly coveting the groom’s dowry – the world just doesn’t work that way.”

“Ah, give the Su Family some face, will you? I’m embarrassed just watching…”

Unable to hang on to her pride after being ridiculed, Wen Peipei pointed at Su Ran, fuming with anger:

“Su Ran, the Su Family raised you for so many years, if there’s no merit, there’s still hard work; yet you dismiss me with these trinkets, you…” Wen Peipei’s face turned red with strain.

At this moment, Qin Feng spoke up again.

“Old Lady Su, the dowry due to the Su Family has already been given by our Boss, and I’ve also asked you just now if the dowry lacked any respect, which you did not deny!

Moreover, this dowry is a personal gift from our Boss to Miss Xiao Ran and has nothing to do with the Su Family, so…”

Don’t make trouble out of nothing!
