Chapter 737: Chapter 711: Keep Waiting If You’re Not Afraid of Facing Consequences
Realizing he couldn’t win an argunt with the always logical and heart-tugging Xiao Qian, Ma Lu turned his gaze towards Eldest Brother, hoping he could ask his bodyguard to back off.
“My parents truly hold Liu i in high regard. They traveled all this way just to see her, and I hope you’ll allow another chance to talk to her. I’m afraid they won’t be able to bear it.”
Playing the elder card again! This tactic hardly worked on Liu i, and now he still thought he could persuade the smooth-talking Eldest Brother?
Eldest Brother nodded, and said to Ma Lu with a stern face.
“Indeed, it is not easy coming all this way. It would be embarrassing to send you ho empty-handed after a breakup. Xiao Qian, what do you think we should do?”
“How about this, to compensate your family for traveling such a distance, whichever house you liked today, Eldest Brother will give you a 5% discount if you pay in full.”
...
Eldest Brother chuckled inwardly. Xiao Qian was indeed rciless. If the Ma family could afford to buy a house in full, why would they pin their hopes on Liu i?
This was like dangling a piece of at in front of Ma Lu’s mouth then stepping on it before tossing it aside, teasing him to the brink of madness.
For Xiao Qian’s ruthlessness, Eldest Brother wanted to say, “Well done!”
Sotis, Boss Qian was amazed at the shalessness of so people, like Ma Lu, for instance.
Liu i had already told him clearly. If he had as much pride and dignity as he had shown before, he should have just left.
But he did not leave. His persistence to see Liu i and Fu Gui was just an attempt to wheedle Eldest Brother, despite the bodyguard blocking his way.
Eldest Brother didn’t want to waste ti with this sort of person. Having witnessed the spectacle and gathered enough gossip to share with Madam, he ignored Ma Lu and said to Xiao Qian,
“You handle it. I’m going to et so people from the city.”
Xiao Qian nodded, and after leaving the bodyguard to assist, Eldest Brother left. Xiao Qian then disdainfully said to Ma Lu,
“Our izi has very soft hands. From a life perspective, won with soft hands have great luck with n. It seems indeed to be the case. Good won are hot in demand. If you don’t cherish them, others are ready to snatch them away!””
“Fourth Sister-in-law, shall I throw him out?” the bodyguard respectfully asked Xiao Qian.
Having worked with Boss Yu for years, he knew the power of Xiao Qian, the Fourth daughter-in-law of the Old Yu Family, whom the boss held in high regard. Therefore, he treated Xiao Qian with extra courtesy.
In Ma Lu’s eyes, this courtesy seed to an sothing else.
Fourth Sister-in-law…This woman is not a mistress, she’s a fourth wife?!
“No need to throw. Treat our guests with respect. We are open for business. If he wishes to stay, let him. Just don’t let him or his people bother us.” Xiao Qian said carelessly but cruelly to Ma Lu, acting like a queen.
“I want you to see with your own eyes what you have lost.”
When so people miss out, it’s for a lifeti. Boss Qian intended to tornt Ma Lu, to make him regret a lifeti. No one could trifle with the emotions of those around Boss Qian.
Xiao Qian left with a flourish. The prize award was about to start, and she had to receive her internal grand prize.
The bodyguard kindly advised Ma Lu, “If I were you, I would leave imdiately with my family. Do not provoke our Fourth Sister-in-law.”
“I won’t leave!” He was not resigned yet. He didn’t believe that Xiao Qian, a “fourth wife”, could obliterate his two-year-long emotional investnt. He decided to stay and put forth his last-ditch effort. He had to recapture Liu i’s money!
No, it was Liu i’s heart!!!
Good words could hardly dissuade a determined man. The bodyguard looked at Ma Lu sympathetically. The latter still had no idea who he was ssing with, had he?
Never mind, as long as Fourth Sister-in-law had given orders not to interfere and cause trouble, he would fulfill his duty. He stayed, watching this oblivious idiot stay as well.
Fu Gui and Liu i sat in the front VIP seats, waiting for the awards. Liu i seed a bit deflated after the breakup.
Her heart was in turmoil. Having broken up with her ex-boyfriend and seeing Fu Gui get into a skirmish with Ma Lu, she wanted to leave and sort out her relationships. But Fu Gui wouldn’t let her. He argued that she hadn’t done anything wrong and there was no need for her to leave first. If anyone should leave, it should be that ddling family!
It was at this mont that Fu Gui’s stubborn intellectualism surfaced completely. Today, he had shattered his mild and elegant image in Liu i’s eyes: he had fought with soone, and he had also said, “Your father is a claw.” But he still held Liu i’s hand…
The thought of him holding her hand made Liu i’s heart beat faster, and feelings of confusion surged within her. It was hard to define the mix of feelings.
Xiao Qian returned after handling Ma Lu’s case.
“Qian’er, hurry up, they’re about to start.” Fu Gui called Xiao Qian over. Xiao Qian nodded, sitting to Liu i’s left. Now that Liu i was seated between Xiao Qian and Fu Gui, she felt different from normal tis, and her heart was in turmoil.
“Liu i!” Ma Lu shouted Liu i’s na as he entered, causing everyone to turn around.
The position was in the second-floor banquet hall of the sales office, filled with hoowners who signed contracts today. Hearing the voice, everyone turned around, including Liu i.
Ma Lu imdiately looked at Liu i, his eyes full of intense love and unstirred affection.
As a result, Liu i just glanced at him and then turned away. His ardent gaze went in vain, but both Xiao Qian and Liao Fugui still looked at him, amazed at his shalessness.
Ma Lu wanted to co over and find Liu i, but the bodyguard was still following. He had not forgotten his duty.
“Sir, you can’t co over here. If you persist, I will call my brothers to escort you out. Only hoowners are allowed in here. Do you have a property contract?”
“…” How could he have that! The woman who could afford a house had been snatched away!
Ma Lu had no choice but to leave. As soon as he stepped out, he saw his family looking annoyed.
“Where have you been! We couldn’t find you anywhere! The lottery has already started, and aren’t we supposed to eat after it? Why aren’t they letting us in? Where did Liu i go?” They seed irritated. Mother Ma saw Liu i enter earlier and also wanted to get in, but was stopped at the entrance, which made her frustrated.
Ma Lu was even more upset, but he couldn’t tell Mother Ma that Liu i had dumped him.
“You all go back first. I’ve got so matters to sort out.”
“Didn’t we talk about having dinner?” Ma Qing was not satisfied, rembering the 250-dollar dress she bought yesterday, and she looked forward to having the luxurious buffet that was rumored to include lobster and abalone.
“What dinner! Just go!” Ma Lu was furious when he saw her.
“Mom, look at my brother!” Ma Qing was still clueless about the situation.
“Did you buy a house today, Little Lu?” Mother Ma was also clueless, dreaming about becoming a city dweller.
“All of you leave!” Ma Lu blew up. How annoying these embarrassing relatives were! They cost him the opportunity to move up. He really hated them!
The bodyguard standing aside watching couldn’t help but sneer. Oh, the ugliness of human nature! For money, people could argue with outsiders and turn against their own family. This man, who just told Fourth Sister-in-law how filial he was, didn’t seem all that filial after all…..
After dismissing his confused family, Ma Lu continued to wait at the door. He couldn’t see what was happening inside the banquet hall, but he could hear the sound from the audio speaker. Right now, they were presenting a show.
He would definitely wait for Liu i to co out.
The bodyguard went in and reported the situation to Xiao Qian. Boss Qian smiled. If he was willing to wait, then he could continue waiting, and brace himself to be humiliated.
