Chapter 1727: Miss Nice Girl (90)

"I heard Chenghai and his wife first pulled some strings to find Xiaokun a job, and now they're busy arranging a marriage for him," Great-Uncle said, shaking his head. "Back when they sold the house, I already knew how things would end."

"Xiaoguo, they haven't come looking for you, have they?"

Tang Guo smiled and shook her head. "No. They think I owe a huge amount of money. Why would they come looking for me?"

"Given your current situation, don't expose yourself either. If they accidentally find out the truth, you absolutely mustn't soften your heart. Ignore them. They don't have you in their eyes. Great-Uncle is only saying this because I'm afraid they'll talk you into something and you'll suffer losses. Don't think I'm being naggy."

"Don't worry, Great-Uncle. So the reason you insisted we come over for dinner today was to tell me this?"

"That's right. I heard they've been coming to the provincial capital quite often lately. I was afraid you'd accidentally run into them and they'd find out the truth."

His life was very good now. If not for knowing the nature of that couple, he really would have liked to flaunt things in front of them and show them just how outstanding their daughter had become.

But he didn't.

Because he understood them too well. If they found out Tang Guo was doing well, they would definitely think of every possible way to make her support Tang Xiaokun.

Since that was the case, he could only quietly enjoy his happiness and hope those two would never learn the truth.

From then on, Tang Guo listened to the System's reports every day regarding Tang Xiaokun and Li Meixue and her husband.

None of the girls they arranged for him satisfied him.

After being extremely picky, he finally chose a very beautiful girl from an ordinary family. The couple wasn't particularly satisfied, but because Tang Xiaokun liked her, they could only suppress their dislike.

However, the girl was incredibly sweet with words. After interacting with her for a while, the couple began to think she was a good person and grew more and more fond of her.

Tang Xiaokun rarely remembered to call them, but the girl called them every weekend and would even make Tang Xiaokun speak to them.

Occasionally, she would send them gifts, making them feel that raising this son had not been in vain.

Soon, Tang Xiaokun and the girl were discussing marriage.

When the two families negotiated the bride price, the girl's family stated that they were very satisfied with Tang Xiaokun. The customary bride price in their hometown was two hundred thousand yuan, but because they liked him so much, they were willing to lower it to one hundred and fifty thousand.

The couple finally breathed a sigh of relief. Since the other side had no additional demands, they gritted their teeth and paid the one hundred and fifty thousand yuan. The house had already been purchased, so there was no need to worry about that.

They also took full responsibility for the wedding expenses.

The bride's dowry wasn't much.

The couple was somewhat unhappy, but the girl was simply too good at sweet-talking them. In no time, she had them wrapped around her finger.

They completely forgot that the bride's dowry amounted to little more than bedding sets, and it seemed that the bride price hadn't actually ended up in the young couple's hands either.

Tang Xiaokun himself was equally charmed by the girl and practically obeyed her in everything.

After the marriage, while the couple continued working hard to pay off the mortgage, the girl became pregnant. Under the pretext of taking care of their daughter, her parents moved into the new house.

"So the couple works desperately to earn money and pay the mortgage, but the people living in the big house are Tang Xiaokun and his wife, along with his father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Seeing this, Tang Guo only found the whole thing absurdly laughable.

【Host, I have a feeling those two will be stifled to death living in their own house in the future.】

"It's not a feeling. It's a fact."
