The surrounding laughter left Lu Huiyang sowhat stunned; was asking for a dowry of 5 million such a laughing matter?
Back when he married Lu Yiyao's mother, it had only cost a few yuan for the bride price. Even though decades had passed, and the present inflation was incomparable to that ti, 5 million remained a figure Lu Huiyang didn't even dare to dream of.
Even the house he had lived in for over a decade, if mortgaged to the creditors, was only worth a few hundred thousand. He no longer had any serious job. If he had to repay this debt of over a million by himself, he feared he wouldn't finish paying it off even at his death.
He knew Zhang nglong had money, but that was just a vague idea. With his troubled ntal state, he didn't have the energy to investigate how much money Zhang nglong actually had.
He had only heard that Zhang nglong bought a company for his daughter. With that kind of capability, he must have a net worth of at least few tens of millions, after all, in his ridiculous worldview, a net worth of a few tens of millions was already quite remarkable.
Even when he asked for a dowry of 5 million, he felt like he was asking for too much.
But what he didn't expect was that his demand imdiately provoked laughter from the people around him.
"Are you sure you're only asking for 5 million?"
"5 million, not a penny less, or I'll take her away right now!"
"Dad!" Tears welled up in Lu Yiyao's eyes, "Am I just a product to you? You drove mom away, and now you want to ruin my life too, don't you?"
"I've raised you all these years so that you can support
in the future!" Lu Huiyang showed no signs of remorse, "I'll tell you, Lu Yiyao, I am your father now, and I will be forever. You'll never get rid of
for as long as you live!"
"You just said, as long as you get the 5 million, you won't pester her anymore?"
"That's right!" said Lu Huiyang, "Give
the money, and our obligation of parental support is settled. I will absolutely not bother her again."
"Okay," said Zhang nglong, "5 million, I hope you'll keep your word!"
Zhang nglong easily got Lu Huiyang's bank account information from Hong Yi and imdiately transferred the 5 million.
When Lu Huiyang's phone received the bank's ssage, his face lit up with surprise. This young man actually gave him 5 million!
"Hahaha!" Lu Huiyang laughed hysterically, "5 million, 5 million, hahaha!"
"Damn, you believe that? A gambler, might lose the 5 million in just a few days and definitely co back again!"
"Exactly, once he's tasted sweetness, how could he just stop? Zhang nglong, you shouldn't trust him!"
"Yeah, just ignore such a person!"
"Forget it, consider it my responsibility as his junior," Zhang nglong patted Lu Yiyao's shoulder, who by that point could no longer speak due to her sobs.
Although she didn't have much affection for her father, only hatred, one could imagine the despair in her heart upon hearing his attitude.
"Wait a minute!" Just then, Lu Huiyang spoke up again, "5 million isn't enough!"
"What did you say?" Zhang nglong's eyes narrowed, "Just now, you said after the 5 million, you would stop pestering her."
"Hmph, it's not that simple!" Lu Huiyang had no difficulty guessing that Zhang nglong's wealth was far greater than this number, since he had effortlessly parted with 5 million.
He was well aware that after paying off his debts, the 5 million probably wouldn't last him long. With such an opportunity, why not ask for more? Would it not be a waste of his 'valuable' daughter?
"I want 10 million!" Lu Huiyang demanded, "Give
another 5 million and I'll leave imdiately!"
"Doubled extortionate bride price!"
"Hahaha, to insult Boss Zhang twice, if it were , I couldn't stand it!"
"Right, at least change the unit or add a few more zeros to make it enough!"
"Yiyi, it looks like your dad has no intention of letting go of his cash cow," Zhang nglong sighed, "I'm afraid I have to use so special thods now. You wouldn't be angry, would you?"
"Just don't hurt him," Lu Yiyao felt Zhang nglong's anger. The last person who angered him had already been sent to dig for coal in Africa. Even if Lu Huiyang was her father, Lu Yiyao couldn't guarantee that Zhang nglong would spare him. Not hurting him was her last bit of hope.
"Don't worry, after all, he's your dad. I won't only not hurt him, but I'll also take him to a place that to him will be heaven."
"What?" Lu Yiyao had no idea what Zhang nglong was talking about.
At that mont, a car drove into the student dormitory area. Cao Yushan, accompanied by a few n that looked like bodyguards, arrived in front of Zhang nglong.
"Mr. Zhang, we're here. Miss Hong Yi has already inford
about the situation. Is there anything you need us to do here?"
"Hmm," Zhang nglong nodded, "do you know any doctors who specialize in treating ntal illness?"
"Mr. Zhang, your family cultivates a large number of talents in various fields every year and also recruits talent through various ans. Their capabilities are definitely not inferior to world-class doctors."
"Good, find
a place near Gusu City, it's fine even if it's in the suburbs."
"Mr. Zhang, are you planning to..."
"Build him a ntal hospital!" Zhang nglong pointed at Lu Huiyang and said, "Make it look like a casino. Later on, hire a group of staff to bet with him and play cards every day. You set the salary. If he gets better, let him out once he's cured. If he doesn't get better, he can just stay and be the God of Gamblers for the rest of his life."
Zhang nglong's voice wasn't loud, but the people closest to him heard him loud and clear.
What kind of situation was this? To build a ntal hospital for a single person and even hire a group of actors to play along? Was this a ntal patient or an Emperor? What kind of ntal patient would receive such treatnt?
"You see, even if you're ntally ill, as long as you rely on Boss Zhang, you can get a private hospital set up for you!"
"I just want to know, can I apply for the job?"
"Hahaha, I'm fierce at playing Fight the Landlord. I used to watch Grandpa Lu's live streams every day!"
"De de de de de de de de de..."
"Light incense."
"Stop talking, I've got the whole picture in my head already."
"You shouldn't have any objections to the way I'm handling this, right?" Zhang nglong turned to ask for Lu Yiyao's opinion.
"Is it worth it?" Lu Yiyao said.
"What bullshit are you talking!" Zhang nglong raised his voice. "For your sake, it's all worth it!"
"Take him away," Zhang nglong ordered. "Be careful not to injure him."
"Mr. Zhang, rest assured, we will take care of Miss Lu's father appropriately."
"Hmm, I'll leave it to you then," Zhang nglong said.
"Hey! What are you going to do? Are you going to start sothing? I warn you, I've trained in martial arts!" Lu Huiyang adopted a stance, "Wing Chun, Ye Wen!"
Cao Yushan held his forehead. This wasn't a ntal patient, this was an idiot, "Be careful with him, take him back to the second hospital first."
"Let go of ! You let go of , I'm not ntally ill, you have no right to catch !"
"Ah! I won't go! Lu Yiyao, you ungrateful thing, you just wait, as long as I'm alive, you'll never be rid of !"
"Gag him!" Zhang nglong said coldly.
"Mmm mmm mmm..."
