Chapter 1071: The Flash Marriage Heiress (55)
“Madam Niu, I heard you've been arranging blind dates for Beibei lately?”
“My
arranging blind dates for my daughter has nothing to do with a busy man like
President Luo, does it?”
“We've
known each other for years. I can't just stand by and watch you push her into a
pit of fire. Just for Qian Chengcheng's bride price, you're forcing her to
marry those old, ugly men. Have you ever considered her feelings?”
“So
what if they're old and ugly? As long as they treat our Beibei well. What's
wrong with her becoming a rich man's wife?”
“Madam
Niu, how much is Qian Chengcheng's bride price?”
Hearing
that, Niu Jinlan froze for a moment before asking suspiciously, “Why are you
asking that? President Luo, don't tell me you're planning to keep our Beibei as
your mistress? I won't allow it. Beibei will never become the other woman.”
“If
President Luo really still likes Beibei, then come looking for her after you're
single.”
In
other words, only after Luo Yicheng got divorced could he continue entangling
himself with Qian Beibei.
And
beneath those words lay another meaning—she didn't actually oppose the two of
them being together.
“What
I mean is, I can give you some money. Stop making things difficult for Beibei
and stop forcing her to go on dates with those old men. From now on, don't
trouble her again. Consider it compensation for the nine years she spent with
me.”
“Are
you serious?” Niu Jinlan's voice immediately brightened with delight.
Her
son's marriage had been delayed for so long because of the bride price. It had
worried her so much that strands of white hair had appeared.
Qian
Beibei refused to obey her and always offended the men she carefully selected.
Who knew when she'd finally get any bride price from her? Meanwhile, the girl's
family kept pressing them, and Chengcheng had already quarreled with her
several times over the matter. She was nearly driven to death with anxiety.
“Of
course. But Madam Niu, you'll have to sign a contract with me.”
“As
long as you agree, I'll provide the bride price. In return, you aren't allowed
to trouble Beibei anymore.”
Niu
Jinlan quickly calculated in her mind.
Free
money. A good deal.
Besides,
she really wasn't sure she could force Beibei into marriage. Beibei was almost
thirty already. Once a woman passed that age, her value dropped.
Many
wealthy men weren't interested in women over thirty.
Now
that this fool, Luo Yicheng, had volunteered to throw money at them, why
refuse?
Besides,
judging by this, Luo Yicheng clearly still had feelings for Beibei.
If
he divorced and married Beibei now, that wouldn't be bad at all. Given his
abilities, she could overlook the fact that he was divorced.
“Fine.
Chengcheng's bride price is one million. If you can come up with one million,
I'll sign your contract and stop introducing men to Beibei.”
After
all, Beibei was nearly thirty.
Truth
be told, there weren't many good men she could be introduced to anymore.
And
if Luo Yicheng still liked her and was willing to divorce, that wasn't a bad
outcome either.
Naturally,
Luo Yicheng had no idea what was going through Niu Jinlan's mind.
Hearing
her agree, he let out a sigh of relief.
This
could be considered his compensation to Qian Beibei, couldn't it?
Hopefully,
without Niu Jinlan causing trouble, Beibei would be able to live a better life.
Not
long afterward, Niu Jinlan received the one million.
Inwardly,
she couldn't help marveling that Luo Yicheng had truly become rich.
In
fact, the girl's family had only demanded five hundred thousand.
The
price she quoted to Luo Yicheng had merely been something she blurted out on a
whim. If he couldn't afford it, she could always lower it.
She
had never expected him not to hesitate in the slightest.
After
getting the money, Niu Jinlan truly stopped making things difficult for Qian
Beibei.
Nor
did she arrange any more blind dates for her.
