Chapter 25  : Betrothal Gifts

In Jiang Li’s previous life and this life, Fu Jiuxiao was the only one who recognized Jiang Li accurately.

Was he really treating her differently?

Tch...

Jiang Li shook off this thought and looked back at Fu Jiuxiao. The expression on her face changed again.

She became wicked, arrogant, and domineering.

Jiang Li’s eyes were like hooks, seductive, and dangerous.

“Ninth Master Fu, you have good eyes.”

As Jiang Li said this, she leaned on the sofa and started to unbraid her hair.

In fact, she did not like to tie her hair. It would give her a headache.

Her thick hair, which did not want to be tied up, wrapped around her ivory-white fingers and fell on her porcelain-white face. In an instant, it was as if she had taken off her disguise, which made her face look demonic.

He must have taken a fancy to a little vixen.

Fu Jiuxiao was still expressionless, but his unfathomable eyes had seen everything.

“Move to my place,” Fu Jiuxiao suddenly said.

On the other side, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang hid in a corner.

Mother Jiang gritted her teeth and said, “Isn’t Fu Jiuxiao going to marry that wretched girl? I’ll let him pay the 100 million betrothal gift. If he doesn’t, I can use this opportunity to break off the engagement. Old Master Fu has nothing to say. By then, there might still be hope for Manman and Young Master Fu’s marriage.”

As soon as she said this, Father Jiang’s eyes lit up.

It was as if he saw money flying towards him.

He immediately agreed. The two of them rushed back to the living room, but they were stopped by Fu Jiuxiao’s bodyguards as soon as they arrived.

In the living room, Jiang Li and Fu Jiuxiao were talking about something.

“On what basis?”

Jiang Li stood up from the sofa with a whooshing sound. She flicked her hair, and her expression was very rude.

Fu Jiuxiao turned around and pointed at Father and Mother Jiang.

“You have to take care of Elder Mo. Can they let you stay here?”

Jiang Li had to admit that his arrangement was actually the best. Elder Mo was seriously injured and needed to be taken care of. The Jiang family was really too noisy.

After thinking about it, she knew what to do. “Okay, I owe you one.”

Fu Jiuxiao laughed.

It was good to be like this now.

On the other side, Father Jiang and Mother Jiang finally broke through the bodyguards and rushed over.

Mother Jiang was very excited.

“Ninth Master, we just heard that you asked Li Li to live with you, right?”

“Then your relationship with Lili is confirmed, so you shouldn’t neglect the etiquette. It will inevitably be exposed, and it will not be good for Lili’s reputation, right?”

Fu Jiuxiao was still expressionless.

Jiang Li narrowed her eyes. She knew Mother Jiang’s plan, so she just sat down and treated it as a show.

Mother Jiang gestured. “For example, the betrothal gifts. Like our Manman, if she marries into the Xu family, the Xu family will give her a betrothal gift of 100 million yuan. If this gets out, Manman will look so noble.”

When she said this, her face was full of pride.

Fu Jiuxiao did not object. “I heard that Young Master Xu’s movements are a little inconvenient. It seems like your daughter is truly in love... Fortunately, Yunze did not ruin your daughter’s good marriage.”

Mother Jiang’s face instantly turned ugly. “This... this... Our Manman’s true love is of course Young Master Fu! What I mean is that the Xu family has the bearing of a big family. The higher the betrothal gifts, the more sincere it will appear.”

Fu Jiuxiao wanted to laugh, but he did not. “Then I’ll give you 200 million yuan.”

As soon as he said this, Mother Jiang and Father Jiang immediately revealed ecstatic smiles. This was completely out of their expectations.

million! They were going to be rich!

million would fill the gap, and they could keep another one hundred million to buy a villa and a sportscar!

Jiang Li, who had been watching all this coldly, frowned. “Fu Jiuxiao, wait a moment.”

She did not want to owe him 200 million for no reason.

Who knew that he had already called his assistant over and started writing. Then, with a wave of his pen, he signed it with his private seal.

A check of 200 million was written. Jiang Li’s parents’ eyes were filled with greed. They both reached out to snatch the check, and they did not forget to flatter Fu Jiuxiao.

“Thank you, Ninth Master, you are so generous!”

Jiang Li looked at him coldly with a sarcastic expression.

Even an engagement could make her physically uncomfortable.

She lazily leaned back in her chair and was about to call off the engagement.

However, unexpectedly, Fu Jiuxiao reached out his hand and gave the check to her.

“This is a betrothal gift for you. You can handle it yourself.”
