Chapter 1018: The Flash Marriage Heiress (2)

Besides buying a house, Luo Yicheng had also purchased a car. With his current position and the fact that he would eventually need to drive his wife and children to work and school, a car was essential.

As a result, after adding in the wedding expenses, he had practically spent every penny he had saved over the past five years.

Fortunately, he hadn't asked his parents for a single cent. Everything had been earned through his own work and countless overtime hours spent taking on side jobs.

From that perspective, he truly was a hardworking and ambitious man.

Everyone—including Luo Yicheng and Qian Beibei—believed they were about to begin a happy life together.

No one could have imagined that something unexpected would happen on their wedding day.

Brimming with excitement, Luo Yicheng drove with his groomsmen to Qian Beibei's home to fetch the bride.

But no matter what they did, they couldn't get the door open.

No matter how many red envelopes they stuffed inside, the door remained firmly shut.

Eventually, the groomsmen asked what was going on, and one of the bridesmaids sent a message from inside.

It was Niu Jinlan's demand.

If Luo Yicheng wanted to take Qian Beibei away, he first had to produce another six hundred and sixty thousand yuan in bride price.

The moment he heard those words, his heart turned cold.

He had struggled tirelessly for five years, finally establishing himself in the city and reaching the point where he could marry the woman he loved.

Buying a house had been his mother-in-law's original condition.

He had never complained, because he thought it was perfectly reasonable.

But now, after purchasing both a house and a car, hearing her suddenly demand another six hundred and sixty thousand yuan—

He couldn't accept it.

At the time, he asked Qian Beibei's family to come out and talk.

They did.

But Niu Jinlan refused to budge.

Without six hundred and sixty thousand yuan, there would be no wedding.

In the end, Luo Yicheng turned to Qian Beibei.

"Beibei, just tell me what you're thinking. Are we getting married today or not? We've been together for nine years. Once the new year begins, it'll be ten. After all these years, are you really going to refuse to marry me over six hundred and sixty thousand yuan?"

"If I, Luo Yicheng, had nothing today—no house, no car, none of the five years of hard work—then even if you asked for a million yuan in bride price, I'd accept it."

"Beibei, you know how I've lived these past five years. After buying the house and the car, all that's left is the money for our wedding. I really don't have another six hundred and sixty thousand yuan. I don't want to keep waiting, and I don't want you to wait anymore."

He had said so much.

Yet the response he received was only one sentence.

"I'm listening to my mother. Yicheng, my mom has high blood pressure. I can only do what she says. I can't upset her. What if she gets sick?"

After that, Luo Yicheng said many more things.

Qian Beibei's parents became emotional, but their stance remained the same.

No six hundred and sixty thousand yuan.

No wedding.

Consumed by anger, Luo Yicheng's blood rushed to his head.

Then, in a moment of impulse, he grabbed Tang Guo—a university acquaintance who had secretly loved him for years—and asked,

"If I marry you, would you agree? If you would, then come with me."

For a secret admirer, receiving such a response was naturally overwhelming.

Without thinking about anything else, she followed Luo Yicheng.

They hurriedly rented a wedding dress.

They took wedding photos.

The ceremony proceeded as planned.

It became a hastily arranged wedding where the guests wore strange expressions and neither of the people involved looked particularly happy.

Qian Beibei rushed over and called Luo Yicheng crazy.

Luo Yicheng truly had been driven mad with anger.

Thinking she still didn't believe him, he dragged Tang Guo straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau and registered their marriage on the spot.

Qian Beibei left in anger.

And then—

Came the moment when Tang Guo arrived in this world.
