443: Chapter 432: Marrying into Wife’s Family

Since ancient tis, money has been an indispensable and fiercely contested possession.

Who would willingly hand over the money in their possession to soone else, whether it was stolen, robbed, or earned through hard work?

In their hands, it is their own, and from ancient tis to the present, countless examples have proved that many great figures t their ends over money—not because they were insatiably greedy, but because they could not bear to part with it.

The middle-aged man was now torn in a fierce internal battle, to give or not to give.

If he gave the money, the matter might be settled for good, but parting with nine million would cause him a long period of heartache, especially since part of the operations at his company would also need to stop.

But not giving it also seed unreasonable.

Wang Dong had put it so plainly that if he did not heed his advice today, whether or not Wang Dong would help him in the future was another matter.

Although his daughter-in-law was related to Wang Dong, they were distant relatives, past the third degree.

Wang Dong helping him was out of goodwill, not helping was simply proper.

If even his own pillar of support wouldn’t help him, his future business would suffer greater losses.

After much deliberation, the middle-aged man gritted his teeth and stomped his foot—Damn it, it’s just nine million.

Can’t he just pay it?

Compared to this nine million, Wang Dong’s trust was a bit more important.

He pulled out his checkbook, wrote nine million on it, and handed it to Song Yun.

Song Yun glanced at it and shook his head, saying, “I said a few million.”

“How much exactly are you talking about?

Please give

a clear number, as long as I can afford it, I’ll certainly give it to you.” The middle-aged man was on the verge of crying out in frustration.

What did this young man want?

Since just now, he had been expressing dissatisfaction, and kept ntioning a few million.

If you don’t tell

how much you want, how should I know what this ‘few million’ really is?

“Why can’t you understand?” Wang Dong, truly a seasoned fox in the political arena, snatched the middle-aged man’s checkbook, wrote nine million nine hundred ninety-nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine on it, and handed it to Song Yun, asking, “How about now, satisfied?”

“Yes, I’m very satisfied,” Song Yun responded with a smile, looking at the number.

“This matter is settled then.

Let

clue you in, it’s not because Li Man cursed at

or threw my clothes on the ground that I was unhappy, but because the kid has moral issues.”

“When I was saving soone, he didn’t help, and even worse, he fled the scene.

I planned to use his car to transport the injured to the hospital, but as soon as this kid heard, he ran off imdiately.

Damn it, if I didn’t have so dical knowledge, the injured would’ve died.”

“Compared to a living person’s life, my face and this piece of clothing are nothing.

Li Man, let

tell you, you should accumulate so virtue and do good deeds in the future.”

“I understand, I will discipline Li Man properly from now on,” the middle-aged man said remorsefully.

Damn it, this young man made himself sound so virtuous with such a noble excuse, yet he stuffed the check into his pocket without any guilt.

Damn it, he still ntioned a few million.

Is this what you call a few million?

Just a dollar more and it’s ten million.

The more the middle-aged man thought about it, the angrier he got, and he kicked the pig-headed-looking Li Man fiercely.

Li Man didn’t react in ti, his attention entirely on Song Yun.

He never expected that the betrayal would co from his own side.

Knocked to the ground by the kick, Li Man groaned in pain.

Seeing this, the noblewoman threw herself on Li Man, turned her head back to the middle-aged man, and yelled, “The child didn’t want it to be this way!

If you want to hit the child, kill

first.

Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to in your head.

It’s just money, right?

If it weren’t for your old mother giving you money to start the company, would you have today’s skills?”

Song Yun watched the scene unfold with a smile, amazed that this middle-aged man, who seed so imposing, was actually a pushover at ho.

“This kid is a live-in son-in-law,” Wang Dong said, grinning at Song Yun’s laugh, whispered, “Originally, this kid was just a college lecturer.

My cousin took a liking to him, and since her family also had so money, they let him beco a live-in son-in-law and her family funded his business.”

“Oh my god, how pathetic,” Song Yun exclaid.

It wouldn’t be a flattering term in their ti, let alone in today’s society.

“If it wasn’t for my cousin’s family backing him up, he would’ve lost all his money years ago,” Wang Dong jeered, his gaze filled with disdain for the middle-aged man.

“Alas, who with real ability would beco a live-in son-in-law?” Song Yun sighed.

“Mom, it hurts,” Li Man whimpered on the ground to his mother.

“Alright, mom will take you to the hospital now,” the noblewoman helped Li Man up, then turned to her husband and shouted, “It’s all because you’re incompetent.”

“Alas, Li Man has turned out this way because you’ve spoiled him,” the middle-aged man sighed, and said to Wang Dong, “Let’s get together again another ti, I’ve had too much going on recently.”

Wang Dong smiled, nodded, and watched as Li Man and his family left, then said, “How about it, shall we go grab so food?”

“No, thanks, I’ve still got so things to handle,” Song Yun replied with a smile.

“I really didn’t expect that this incident would end up involving you.”

“Well, what are you talking about?

I, Wang Dong, am not soone who forgets his debts.” Wang Dong patted his stomach and said, “Since I settled the Heaven Sect, many have reached out with olive branches to .”

“And then?”

“Then I rejected them all.

Though those interests were enticing, I knew any troubles in the group could be fatal to my future,” Wang Dong lit a cigarette and continued, “So, I’d rather climb up slowly and eventually remain neutral, than hitch a ride on soone else’s boat.”

“Well put, what you own is truly yours, anything given by others can be taken back,” Song Yun said.

“It looks like you haven’t had lunch yet, go have your al.

We’ll talk about the Heaven Sect another ti.”

“Alright, I won’t intrude on your ti with Shishi any longer, I’m off,” Wang Dong joked Playfully, which caused Li Shishi to roll her eyes.

After sending Wang Dong off, Song Yun sat back in his chair and let out a long sigh, “There’s been a lot of trouble recently.”

“Yes, every trouble brings you a great benefit,” Li Shishi glanced at Song Yun and said.

“Look at how many tis you’ve profited from nothing, it’s just a bit of grievance, but the compensation from the other party is frighteningly large.”
