Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Boss Jiangâs Skills Chapter 261: Chapter 261: Boss Jiangâs Skills Ho Laidi muttered, âHow would I know that your grandfather had arranged a marriage for you without saying anything? Can you blame me for this misunderstanding?â Her gaze once again fell upon the one hundred dollars on the bed.
Song Xiyun also unconsciously drew nearer to this side.
At that moment, Meng Xinian snorted, and both women were shaken by it.
âThe betrothal gifts Iâve given should be considered the highest standard in Peace Town, shouldnât they?â
Now it was Liu Peiâs turn to speak, as her daughter had only recently married, and she had previously inquired about the customary betrothal and bride prices in and around the town. Anyway, none of the wealthy families in the town have given such high-standard betrothal gifts.
âIndeed, they are.â
Meng Xinian glanced at the people from Old Chiang Family again with an indifferent tone, âIâve offered such a high betrothal gift because Little Little deserves it. Since she is now my fiancĂ©e, she will be under my protection from now on. Anyone who wants to harm her will need to offer a compensation as high as this gift for us to sit down and talk. But if they canât afford it, they better be careful, for I wonât let anyone off easily if they hurt even a hair on her.â
Chiang Xiao wanted to roll her eyes.
Brother Xinian, are you saying that as long as someone has money, they can freely bully me?
Meng Xinian read her expression and knew that the girl had again misunderstood.
âSilly girl, whom do you think those words are meant for? Is there anyone wealthy here?â
His remarks were directed at the people from Old Chiang Family.
Those from Old Chiang Family would probably not take it to heart if he spoke too much dignified and majestic jargon, so only when money was involved could they weigh its significance properly, for their minds were not sufficient!
In the future, if they wanted to bully Chiang Xiao, surely the image of this necklace, this one hundred dollars, would subconsciously come to mind.
Dealing with these kinds of people requires such vulgarity.
Comparing with money makes a deeper impression on them.
Chiang Xiao instantly understood his point and, while sweating, realized that Meng Xinian was not someone to be trifled with.
At this stage, it became awkward for the others to continue watching.
Who couldnât see who was wronged here?
The groomâs betrothal gifts had to be turned inside out for one to prove their innocence!
Chiang Songtao snorted, glared at Ho Laidi, and demanded, âWhat are you still doing here? Isnât someone needed to take care of Baohe? Baoguoâs Wife, you go too!â
Ho Laidi, looking somewhat displeased, grabbed Song Xiyun and left, grumbling and cursing as she dragged her out.
Then, Chiang Songtao turned to Meng Xinian, his expression softened and he even showed a somewhat benign smile, speaking to Meng Xinian in a gentle tone, âLittle Meng, your auntie acts impulsively and speaks without thinking; she means no harm. Since youâve already made a betrothal with our Little Little, youâre family from now on. You can call me âUncle Grandfatherâ with Little Little.â
He then pointed at Chiang Baoguo and continued, âThis is your Big Uncle, and the young lady earlier is your Big Uncleâs Wife. Your Second Uncle is also in the hospital; someone hurt him last night, and heâs in a bad state. If youâre not busy, come and see him later. Being a soldier, perhaps you can help investigate who harmed your Second Uncle last night. Your Big Uncle and I will go up first.â
With that, he gave Chiang Baoguo a look.
âWhat father said is right, so letâs do that. Weâll go up first. Little Meng, come up later,â said Chiang Baoguo, following Chiang Songtao as he also left.
Chiang Xiao stood with her mouth agape, utterly dumbfounded.
Ge Dejun, Xu Linjiang, and the others exchanged glances.
They truly felt inferior to such ability!
