When Yang Huai heard this, he knew that he was overthinking and continued to tug at him. "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ask you for money? I'm helping you."
"How can you help me for no reason?" Wu Poxiong was obviously more anxious than Yang Huai. "I'm telling you, I only have one sister. I can't afford to offend rich people like you. Don't worry, I'll pay you back every cent."
Yang Huai touched his forehead and smiled. "You have a pretty high fever. Shall I take you to the hospital?"
"Hey, don't joke with me." Wu Poxiong slapped his hand away. "You should be merciful. We're from a small family. We can't afford to play with you!"
When he heard that Yang Huai was the head of the Wanwen Group, he was shocked at first. He couldn't believe it.
He wasn't happy at all that his sister had married into a rich family.
He was terrified that it was because he was short of money and his sister was trying to repay the debt with her body!
He thought that his life was worthless. He didn't care about it, but he couldn't push his sister into the fire pit. Marriage was related to her life. How could he treat it like a child's play?
"Who's playing with you?" Yang Huai said seriously. "Brother Xiong, we've known each other for a long time. Why would I lie to you? I'm sincere about marrying your sister."
"If we didn't know each other, I would've …" Wu Poxiong gritted his teeth. "I would've risked my life and died with you."
After Yang Huai recovered from his shock, he was so scared that he hurriedly patted his chest and said with a grin, "Brother Xiong, my little heart can't take such a scare from you. Hey, if I don't treat Xiaojun well in the future, you can take care of me, okay?
Please believe me. I'm serious. "
"Really?" Wu Poxiong was doubtful. He muttered, "You rich people talk nonsense."
Seeing that his mother was already standing under the awning in a navy blue dress and looking over, he finally realized that he couldn't live in this house. He glared at Yang Huai and went into the house to change.
He put on a shirt and rolled up his sleeves as if he was going to fight.
Wu Pojun entered the room and pulled down his sleeve again. She only rolled it up a little before saying, "This concerns your little sister's marriage. I can't be careless."
Wu Poxiong said angrily, "Are you really going to marry that little bastard?"
Wu Poxiong said angrily, "He's your brother-in-law from now on. Don't scold me. Don't make me mad."
Wu Poxiong got even angrier and stomped his foot. "You're not even married yet and you're already helping an outsider?"
"Did I help you too much?" Wu Pojun tied his tie for him. "Today is my big day. Don't embarrass me, okay?"
Wu Boxiong stuttered, "But … You're not marrying him because of me, are you? My life and death are none of your concern. It's only right and proper to repay a debt. There's no need to do this. "
Wu Pojun hurriedly covered his mouth, looked outside, and said in a low voice, "Don't let Dad and Mom hear this. Both of them are in poor health. You'll only be happy if you anger them to death, right?"
Wu Poxiong explained, "That's not what I meant, sister. I'm just thinking about you."
He consciously lowered his voice.
Wu Pojun said seriously, "If it's really for my sake, after I get married, my family will depend on you. Promise me, don't gamble anymore!"
Wu Boxiong said, "As long as you don't go with that brat, I'll agree to anything you say. I'll pay you back slowly."
Wu Pojun said, "I'm not joking. I admit that I was being angry with him in the beginning. But the more I know about him, the more I feel that he's reliable. Tell me, why can't I marry such a reliable and rich man?
Brother, my only request now is for you to be more mature and take care of the family. "
Wu Boxiong lowered his head and said bitterly. "But …"
Wu Pojun interrupted her without hesitation, "No buts. He's not a bad person. Trust your sister's taste, okay? You should be happy. After being single for so long, your sister finally got married, right? Smile? "
"Hehe …"
Wu Pojun waved her hand. "Forget it. It's worse than crying. Let me tell you, don't think about it anymore. Otherwise, I'll really get angry with you."
She looked at herself in the mirror and made sure that there was nothing inappropriate about her. She walked out of the house and heard her father muttering, "Such a good cabbage has been ruined by a pig."
Wu Pojun laughed and said, "Dad, are you done yet? Let's go. "
"Let's go?" Wu Xian looked at his wife.
Old Madam Wu nodded and got into the car door that Yang Huai had opened. Then, Wu Xian got into the car.
Wu Pojun pushed Wu Poxiong to the front passenger seat because he was too big. She and her parents sat in the back seat.
Yang Huai didn't drive fast, but the distance wasn't far, so they arrived quickly.
When Yang Xuewen and Li Mei saw the car enter the yard, they came out of the house to welcome them.
Yang Xuewen held out his hand to Wu Xian. "Brother, please come in and have a seat."
On the other side, Li Mei also pulled Old Madam Wu into the house.
Li Mei brewed tea and peeled fruits.
Old Madam Wu bowed and twirled the prayer beads in her hand. "Thank you."
Li Mei served the dishes on the table. After Wu Xian and Wu Poxiong took their seats, she prepared a small table for Old Madam Wu. There were five or six plates of vegetables on it. She smiled and said, "Big Sister, it's not good. Please don't mind it. Don't worry, there's no fat at all."
She remembered Old Madam Wu's taboo.
"Sorry to trouble you." Old Madam Wu had not said much since she entered the house.
The dishes were sumptuous, but the Wu family's mind wasn't on the food. They didn't even drink the wine. They ate a few mouthfuls and that was enough.
After the meal, the two families sat on opposite sides of the sofa. Wu Pojun personally poured tea for everyone.
"Brother, I can't be picky with your conditions." This was Wu Xian's first sentence.
Li Mei didn't understand Cantonese. Only Yang Xuewen, who had been doing business in the South for many years, knew Cantonese. He continued, "Brother, we don't dare to say much, but we can guarantee that once the girl marries into the family, she won't suffer any hardships or grievances. As long as the two children live well, we will accept anything."
Wu Xian nodded. "In terms of conditions, we are much worse than you, but we don't lack food and drink. People have food and drink in their lives, and we have plenty of spare cash. What more can we ask for?"
The Yang family was rich, but the Wu family didn't care. He wasn't here today to seek connections. There was no reason why his daughter couldn't match up to the Yang family!
Yang Xuewen smiled and said, "Not at all, not at all. Brother, you must be joking. To put it bluntly, even if my house was empty and I had to eat steamed buns every day, I would still have to shamelessly come here to beg you, brother."
