Gulp---------
Father Zhou swallowed hard, somewhat incredulously saying, "Daughter, you're not joking, are you?"
This was like an ordinary person winning the lottery.
Yesterday, he was just an ordinary guy, and today he's transformed into a millionaire.
Not to mention his friends, even he himself probably didn't see this coming.
Happiness came too quickly, like a tornado.
Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled gracefully, exuding elegance and poise.
"Dad, do you think I'm that kind of person?"
Mother Zhou shot Father Zhou a sharp glance, poking his forehead with her slender, fair fingers, and scolded, "You old fool! Don't you even trust your own daughter?"
"I didn't, I don't, dear, don't wrong me!"
Father Zhou immediately denied it three times in a row.
Mother Zhou continued to berate him for a while before finally stopping.
Given Mother Zhou's usual temperament.
No matter what happened, she would always choose to save face for Father Zhou in front of outsiders.
What turned a lady of noble birth into a shrew?
Was it love? Or hate?
Neither.
It was because she was given too much.
So much that Mother Zhou lost her composure.
The more impressive their daughter was.
The more face the old couple had.
This was an undeniable fact.
Su Ting and Xu Fuqiang exchanged glances.
Each could see the other's thoughts in their eyes.
What is a pleasant surprise?
This is a pleasant surprise!
Not only did they not lose money, but they also made a huge profit!
This propelled the Xu family straight into the stratosphere.
It wasn't just a step up; it was a giant leap.
"Honey, I remember the recent days are auspicious. Why don't we have the wedding in the next few days?" Su Ting smiled and said.
Xu Fuqiang nodded in understanding, "Let's consult the almanac and pick an earlier date. If there's no suitable one, we can just choose an ordinary day for now. We can make the full-month celebration for our future grandchild even more lively."
Su Ting: "Great minds think alike."
The old couple played off each other.
Bringing Xu Mo, who was still in shock, back to reality.
Holy cow!!!!
He couldn't help but exclaim!
Not only was the wedding date with the female devil being moved up.
But they were also planning everything for their future child.
What the hell was he supposed to do now?!!!
Putting aside the storyline for a moment.
Xu Mo was a responsible man.
Once he had a child in this world.
He would have something to care about.
Even though he knew it was all fake.
He might wake up one day and find it all gone.
But he couldn't just ignore it.
A man must take responsibility for his actions.
Women are meant to be cherished, of course, women, not females.
Some females should be dealt with firmly, or else when they strike, you might end up dead or seriously injured. After all, their punches carry twenty years of training, and you won't be able to withstand them.
Xu Mo was both amused and exasperated, "Isn't it a bit too early to talk about this? I'm not even thirty yet."
Implied meaning: Let me finish the storyline first.
Bang------------
Xu Fuqiang slammed the table, his beard bristling as he glared.
"You're thirty, but what about Qiaoqiao? Do you want her to become an older mother? I don't understand, nor do I want to understand, you youngsters' mindset! Don't give me any excuses. We'll make the best arrangements for you, and you just need to follow them."
"Otherwise, all the family assets will go to your sister, and you won't get a single penny!"
The old man said so.
But everyone knew.
He wouldn't actually do it.
Was money important to Xu Mo?
Cough, not really, well, it did have some use-----------delicious.
But as for the family assets.
Xu Mo truly hoped they would all be transferred to Xu Shi.
In his hands, they would probably be squandered.
It would be better off with Xu Shi.
At least she could spend some of it before the protagonist arrived.
And enjoy the last good times.
"Dad, I fully support your idea. Leave most of the Xu family assets to Xiao Shi, and just give me a few hundred million to live a carefree life."
Father Zhou and Mother Zhou were stunned.
What the hell?!!!
Is this even possible?
Totally unexpected!!!!
Xu Fuqiang's face turned red with anger, his voice filled with disappointment as he roared.
"Disgrace!!! Disgrace!!! How could I, Xu Fuqiang, with all my wisdom, have raised such a useless son!"
Xu Mo was speechless.
The old man was too stingy, wasn't he?
So miserly.
Not even willing to spare a few hundred million.
Was he really going to force him to start his own business?
What a joke!
This went against his original philosophy!
Su Ting raised an eyebrow, speaking up for Xu Mo.
After all, Xu Mo was her flesh and blood.
What about her husband?
Su Ting was fully on her son's side.
Regardless of whether Xu Mo was at fault or not.
Well, later on.
Su Ting also started speaking up for Zhou Qiaoqiao.
The daughter-in-law's dowry was too substantial.
This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Xu family was determined to have Zhou Qiaoqiao.
They wouldn't let her go to anyone else.
Moreover, let's be honest.
No family in Magic City, or even the entire Dragon Country, dared to compete with the Xu family.
Seeing Su Ting and Xu Fuqiang's enthusiastic and affectionate demeanor.
Xu Shi's eyes were lifeless, and she simply gave up.
They were already treating Zhou Qiaoqiao as their future daughter-in-law.
It had been like this before, and now it was even more so.
Trying to subtly change their parents' views.
Was impossible.
This wasn't just a matter of playing it safe.
After all, deeply ingrained beliefs couldn't be changed overnight.
And since Xu Shi had been reborn.
She had no way to start.
So she busied herself with other matters.
Like gathering people to oppose Lin Fan.
Preferably to eliminate him.
But now that she had the means to take down Lin Fan.
The problem returned.
Would Xu Mo willingly spend his life with her?
Or what would their parents think?
Ideals are beautiful, but reality is harsh.
If she didn't give up.
What else could she do?
Trying to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
Wasn't going to be that easy.
Zhou Qiaoqiao lightly coughed twice, then parted her red lips.
"Um, Mom and Dad, actually, my successful investment in bonds was largely thanks to Xu Mo. Don't belittle him; he's actually quite remarkable."
She laid her cards on the table again.
Xu Shi was deeply shocked.
Holy crap.
Sister Qiaoqiao is on another level!
She dared to say that.
No one else could.
She's just awesome.
Xu Shi's heart was pounding rapidly.
She was extremely nervous.
Afraid that Xu Mo might notice something was off.
After Zhou Qiaoqiao finished speaking.
The private room fell into complete silence.
The parents on both sides looked at each other, exchanging glances.
Xu Fuqiang and Su Ting eyed their son suspiciously.
They scrutinized Xu Mo from head to toe once more.
Hiss!!!!!!!!!!!!
Both of them sucked in a sharp breath.
It seemed as if their son had become even more handsome than before.
If you didn't look closely.
You wouldn't notice any difference.
Would you pay attention to something you see and touch every day?
No, you wouldn't.
You'd just think it was nothing special.
Several pairs of eyes simultaneously fell on Xu Mo.
Xu Mo felt uneasy under their gaze.
[Female devil, I agree with the latter part of your statement, but the part about me helping you is pure fabrication.]
[When the hell did I ever help you?]
[Tell me the exact time and place so I can go back and slap my past self a few times to vent my frustration.]
