The Crazy Son-In-Law

Listening to the arguing of the Liu family, Xiao Zhou felt somewhat stuck in a difficult situation.

To buy or not to buy? Even if it wasn’t his own money, spending more meant owing more favors, and he felt they were being excessive. If he didn’t buy, the boasting he did yesterday in front of the Liu family would be seen as him going back on his word, which would be like slapping himself in the face.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, “Since I said it, I’ll keep my word. Cen, pick whichever car you like, and I’ll pay for it with my card.”

With a wave of his hand, Xiao Zhou declared, “Of course!”

This sudden decision caught the Liu family off guard, and they instantly regretted their previous actions. If they hadn’t mocked Liu Yunxiang just now, perhaps they could now shamelessly ask for a car too.

However, after what they had said to Liu Yunxiang, and asking for a car now would be like slapping themselves in the mouth.

So it was true that children with thick skin get the sweetest treats.

They still had their pride, so now they could only suffer in silence, unable to voice their grievances.

However, Xiao Shun had set a good precedent for them. Initially, they were too embarrassed to buy expensive items, but compared to a car worth over 400, 000, most things in the mall seemed cheap.

For example, Hermes, Chanel, and Givenchy items worth thousands or tens of thousands, as well as jewelry of the same price range.

Since Xiao Zhou had already bought a car worth hundreds of thousands for Yao Cen, he had no reason to be stingy with these items. Moreover, it wasn’t his money, so there was nothing to be concerned about.

Xiao Zhou felt as if he had swallowed a fly. In theory, it wasn’t his money being spent, and aside from the car, they had only bought items worth thousands or tens of thousands, totaling just over a million.

But seeing it all still made him uncomfortable, and he couldn’t explain why.

It was like having money in the bank that he couldn’t use but regretted giving away to others.

Soon they came to Century Jewelry, a well-known domestic jewelry brand.

As the others went shopping on their own, Xiao Zhou and Liu Miaozhen were at the counter selecting engagement rings.

Since Xiao Zhou had come to the Liu family for a marriage, he genuinely looked down on the Liu family members but truly loved Liu Miaozhen.

Liu Manxiang was helping them choose and saw Yao Cen and Xiao Shun coming from afar.

She quickly walked over in her high heels, grabbed Yao Cen’s arm, and said in a feigned intimate tone, “Cen, Miaozhen is picking out her engagement ring. You’re experienced in this, so come over and maybe you can help her.”

After saying that, she glanced at Yao Cen’s bare hands and sneered inwardly.

Yao Cen knew she had no good intentions, and her arm subtly moved closer to her body. Just as she was about to refuse, Xiao Shun said, “Let’s go take a look. There’s nothing else to do anyway.”

Yao Cen reluctantly pursed her lips and followed Liu Manxiang to where Liu Miaozhen and Xiao Zhou were standing.

“Miss, you have excellent taste. This is the latest design from Century Jewelry, Love of the Century. As you know, many people get married at the end of the year, and many choose this Love of the Century ring. For a beautiful and elegant woman like you, wearing it will make you even more radiant.”

The salesgirl introduced the diamond ring on Liu Miaozhen’s hand with a beaming smile.

Liu Miaozhen examined the ring on her hand and then showed it to Liu Manxiang and Yao Cen with a satisfied smile, asking, “What do you think?”

“It’s pretty,” Yao Cen said with a forced smile.

“I think it’s not bad either. How much does it cost?” Liu Manxiang asked.

“Since it’s the New Year, our store is offering a discount. You can have this for one hundred thousand,” the salesgirl replied.

Liu Miaozhen looked at Xiao Zhou and asked, “Dear, what do you think? Is it beautiful?”

“You’re beautiful, so anything you wear will be beautiful,” Xiao Zhou said sweetly.

“Your husband sure knows how to talk. Only our Love of the Century ring is worthy of a beautiful girl like you, Miss,” the salesgirl complimented, seizing the opportunity to flatter her.

“Thank you for your sweet words, let’s choose this one,” Liu Miaozhen decided.

At the moment Xiao Zhou was about to pay, Liu Miaozhen, while contentedly admiring the diamond ring on her hand, pretended to be concerned and said, “I heard that you didn’t even have a diamond ring when she got married. She must regret being so hasty back then. Judging from Xiao Shun’s attitude, I’m afraid he won’t be able to buy you a diamond ring in this lifetime. It’s really a pity for you.”

“Diamond ring or not, it’s not important to me. I’m living a good life now, and Xiao Shun is not what you think he is,” Yao Cen said with a faint smile, glancing at Xiao Shun.

“Did you hear what my Cen said? With your character, she’s still defending you. If you dare to do anything wrong to my Cen, I’ll never let you go,” Liu Miaozhen said, waving her little fist at him.

Xiao Shun smiled helplessly and asked the salesgirl, “How much is the most expensive diamond ring you have?”

The salesgirl had already heard their conversation and despised him a hundred times in her heart. He couldn’t even afford a diamond ring; what kind of man was he? Even she, a stranger, felt indignant for the beautiful Yao Cen. Hearing his question, she hesitated for a moment, her disdain for Xiao Shun intensified. If he couldn’t afford the cheap ones, why ask for the most expensive ones? What an act.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

However, she could not just refuse to answer a question from a customer, and she still had some professional ethics, so she didn’t reveal her disdain too obviously. With a warm and professional smile, she said, “In our store, the most expensive one currently is the Love of the Century. If you need it, we can source it from other places. The most expensive Love of the Century ring should be the Eternal Heart, with a price of 3 million.”

“Miss, don’t take him seriously. He’s just teasing you. How could he possibly afford such an expensive diamond ring?” Liu Manxiang didn’t take it seriously and joked with a smile.

On the contrary, Xiao Zhou’s heart skipped a beat. “Damn, is he really going to make me buy the diamond ring too?” He immediately turned to Xiao Shun and mocked, “You don’t expect me to buy a diamond ring for you too, do you? Do you know the significance of a diamond ring?”

Liu Miaozhen and Liu Manxiang suddenly remembered this issue. If Xiao Shun really asked Xiao Zhou to help him buy a diamond ring, it would be a joke. No, he was already a joke. Damn, it might actually be possible. If they bought it and resold it, they could make a fortune… Both of them stared at him with wide eyes, watching intently.

Xiao Shun smiled indifferently and said, “Of course, I don’t need Mr. Xiao to pay for a diamond ring.” He then turned to the salesgirl and said, “I’ll take that Eternal Heart you mentioned. Please source it for me. I’ll be at St Marquet for the next few days.”
