Chapter 283: She Stays! (Part one)
(Disclaimer: The following chapter may contain a bit of the nation feud from the past, let’s look past the author’s patriotism and enjoy the story instead.)
His words were so simple, yet they stunned everyone in the Lin Family.
But, it didn’t seem like Xu Cheng was joking. He said, “Didn’t you guys say I didn’t give any betrothal gifts? Fine. Tonight, I will give it to the Lin Family.”
Xu Cheng took out Lin Lei’s card from his bag, waved it, and said, “There is 3.3 billion euros transferred over from the M Nation on this card. It should be more than enough to take your 1.4 billion euro worth of shares.”
He said as he placed the card into Lin Chuxue’s hand, and he gave her a reassuring smile.
Lin Chuxue reached out and felt the cut on Xu Cheng’s lips, and she bitterly smiled, her heart aching a little. “You did it?”
Xu Cheng nodded.
“You always chose to believe me ever since we were young, why aren’t you so determined now? Both of us didn’t change, did we?” Xu Cheng gently looked at her with a warm smile.
She also put on a rare smile and nodded hard. “I haven’t changed! I didn’t even cheat on you mentally!”
“You did very well, and this card is my reward for my awesome wife.” Xu Cheng smiled.
Mommy Lin’s side of the family was in disbelief. “Just because you said there is 3.3 billion, there’s 3.3 billion? You think it’s that easy to make that much money?”
Xu Cheng turned around and looked at those people. “In my eyes, money is just a number. The 3.3 billion is not all the betrothal gift I’m giving to Nicole. In the future, I will let you guys bear witness that what I’m giving her is the whole world!’
Lin Chuxue stood there and looked at Xu Cheng in daze. It wasn’t like she hadn’t seen men boast before, but it was her first time seeing someone boast to her in front of all the nobles and royals in the country. Besides, Xu Cheng never made empty promises, and since he promised it, he would treat it as his life-long goal to fulfill it.
Lin Chuxue’s eyes were slightly red.
Her aunt looked at the executive of the largest bank in Britain in the crowd and went over and asked, “Check that card of his and see if there’s really 3.3 billion in it.”
That executive nodded as he walked over, politely took the card from Lin Chuxue’s hand, and made a call. On the other end of the call, his assistant said, “Boss, there was indeed a big transfer a few hours ago from the M Nation, totalling to 3.3 billion, and the source is all legitimate.”
Upon hearing this, everyone on Mommy Lin’s side of the family were all shocked.
Even Will didn’t think that Xu Cheng could actually get this much money!
The executive handed the card to Lin Chuxue, and she then handed the card to her father, “Dad, it’s the betrothal gift from your son-in-law.”
Lin Guiren directly laughed as he took the card and nodded. Then, he said to all of those relatives, “Your stocks, if you are selling, I will take them all!”
With this money, why would he still fear to not be able to get back on his feet? He would even be able to use this chance to throw out all the leeches of the company. It was really two birds one stone!
His father-in-law just stood there with his chest pumping up and down, almost having a heart attack. Mommy Lin’s sister was just completely dumbfounded as she didn’t know what to say.
After taking care of those relatives that looked down on him, Xu Cheng looked around at the nobles and young heirs present and said in a loud voice, “I admit to everything you guys said about me before. Whether it’s background or qualification in the past, I indeed didn’t deserve Nicole. But today, I’m standing here to announce to you that, this woman is mine from now on! If anyone dares to think about taking advantage of my woman in the future, I will defend my marriage and family at all cost, no matter who I’m up against.”
Chapter 283: She Stays! (Part two)
(Disclaimer: The following chapter may contain a bit of the nation feud from the past, let’s look past the author’s patriotism and enjoy the story instead.)
Someone immediately sneered, “You are a yellow peasant from Huaxia, and you abducted the Rose of Britain. Now, you still dare to say such big words? Do you really want to challenge the nobles? Huh? You ignorant peasant!”
“What’s a noble?” Xu Cheng looked at the young man that was talking with anger. “Speaking of assets, can you stand out and compare yourself to the peasant you are referring to me as? Can you take out a billion euro that you made yourself? Let me ask you, why do you call yourself as a noble? In the era of value creation, you produce no value for your family and society, so what exactly makes you better than normal civilians? Your soul? Or your noble character?’
“You!” The young man was furious but was at a loss for words to respond.
Third Prince Will’s eyes narrowed. “Those titles are given by the country’s royal family. What is it, you want to question the royalty too? Do you want to pick a fight against the nobles and the royalty now?”
Xu Cheng said faintly, “I won’t provoke those that leave me alone. But for those that provoke me, I won’t let them off the hook!”
Crown Prince: “So that’s the reason you didn’t greet Her Majesty the Queen properly when you saw her? Mr. Xu, do you really want to show no respect to the palace and the Queen?”
Xu Cheng then looked up at the elderly lady on a higher floor. Seeing her looking at him with sharp eyes, he responded with a sharp look as well, “I’m sorry, I’m a citizen of Huaxia, I won’t kneel in front of the royalty of other countries.”
“Huaxia?” The queen nonchalantly murmured. “Oh, you mean one of the weakest countries in Asia? To be honest, if we go back to the second World War era, you were all just prisoners.”
Xu Cheng smiled not humbly nor haughtily, “Then going back to the great Tang Dynasty 600 years ago, you guys were probably just a bunch of uneducated barbarians and peasants.”
Those British nobles and government officials immediately all became furious.
Xu Cheng wasn’t scared at all as he kept on talking, “Thank you all for helping the people of Huaxia remember the dark history we went through, it’s what makes our nation always strive to get stronger. We aren’t like the Wei Nation that doesn’t even have the courage to face its history. But if you really want to talk about nobility and royalty, in comparison to Huaxia’s 5000 years of history, I’m sorry but you are really the uncultured ones. We are a polite nation, so we won’t go around and call other people peasants like you are all doing, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have temper!”
Lin Chuxue and Lin Guiren both looked at Xu Cheng in astonishment and horror. They completely didn’t expect Xu Cheng to dare to argue with the crowd like this.
Lin Guiren was worried if Xu Cheng could still walk out from here. But to be honest, it was so satisfying to hear what Xu Cheng said! If it wasn’t because he already moved to this country and got married and settled down, he would’ve talked back already, just like him.
“Guards! Arrest this tyrant that scorns royalty and sentence him to death!” Prince Will immediately pointed at Xu Cheng and called upon the guards at the gate.
Lin Chuxue immediately stepped forward to be in front of Xu Cheng. “Kill me first if you are going to kill him!”
The Queen raised his arm. “Wait.”
The guards stopped.
The Queen looked at Xu Cheng with a smile. “Temper? Just with your hot blood? Young man, when you country was getting whipped by other nations, there were also other young men like you that went onto the streets and protested, but what was the result? They were still at the mercy of other nations. It’s good to be patriotic, but remember to use your brain too. Today’s my birthday, and I don’t want to see blood. You can leave now.”
Xu Cheng: “I’m not here to attend your birthday party, I’m just here to get my wife to go home for dinner. My apologies.”
Xu Cheng said as he pulled on Lin Chuxue’s wrist and turned to go.
At this moment, the Queen domineeringly commanded, “She stays!”
