Chen Shufen seemed a little embarrassed: "Hey, don't be so hasty. She's just a kid and doesn't know any better. What boyfriend? I was just joking."

But Grandmother Jia said bluntly, "Are you kidding me? Our family has spent nearly a million in total, this is no joke."

Seeing his mother getting involved, Jia Xiaoming added, "Mom, you don't know, this guy is not only Xiaoxin's boyfriend, but he's also worth over 10 billion."

"Our family has over a million yuan, but they don't even care about it!"

"How much?" Grandmother Jia was taken aback.

"Over 10 billion, he said that himself." Jia Xiaoming repeated what had just happened.

All eyes were on Cao Kun's face.

More than 10 billion is an unimaginable number for ordinary people like them.

Is there something wrong with this young man?

Grandmother Jia said, "Xiaoming, you must have misheard. More like a hundred or so yuan."

Jia Xiaoming felt extremely pleased and said with a smile, "Mom, he said it himself. You can ask him if you don't believe me."

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Cao Kun smiled slightly: "He didn't mishear, it's over 10 billion."

Upon hearing this, Grandmother Jia scoffed, "Xiao Xin, you should really look at men carefully when you're looking for one. This kind of guy who talks big but doesn't seem like a good match."

"None of your business!" Zheng Kexin retorted.

She now has absolutely no good feelings towards this so-called aunt.

"Xiao Xin, how dare you talk like that? Apologize to your Aunt Bai right now!"

Chen Shufen quickly tried to smooth things over.

Grandmother Jia snorted coldly: "Hmph, you've taken almost a million from me, and now you're pulling this stunt on me, is that it?"

She slammed her hand on the table: "Our family isn't one to be trifled with! This marriage is off; give me my money back!"

Zheng Kexin was stunned when she heard this, and then she realized that her mother had already accepted the bride price.

She looked at her mother in disbelief, her voice trembling slightly.

"Mom? I haven't even gotten home yet, and you've already sold me to them?"

Chen Shufen gave a dry laugh and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, child?"

"Go ask around the whole of Hongdu City. With Xiao Jia's family's circumstances, they can find any girl they want."

"What kind of spell has this man cast on you that makes you insist on going against your mother?"

Zheng Kexin was utterly disappointed in her mother at this moment.

She didn't even want to eat anymore, and pulled Cao Kun to get up and leave.

Upon seeing this, Grandmother Jia immediately shouted, "Wait! No one is leaving until my million is returned!"

Her tone was somewhat unfriendly: "We're all classmates, don't make things too ugly!"

Everyone's gaze fell on Chen Shufen's face.

Chen Shufen felt uneasy under the gaze, and her voice became weaker.

She explained, "That money... I lent it all to my younger brother. His son is getting married, but they haven't raised enough money for the bride price, so he said he'd use this money to pay it first."

Upon hearing this, Grandmother Jia immediately jumped up, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"No way! This is fraud, fraud! You need to give my money back right now!"

Chen Shufen said helplessly, "We can't get it back. They already paid the bride price yesterday."

Grandmother Jia pulled out her phone to make a call: "You can't get it back, huh? I'm calling the police right now, and you can go to jail!"

She said aggressively, "Just you wait, if you dare to cheat me out of my money, none of you will get away with it."

Chen Shufen finally panicked and looked at Zheng Kexin with pleading eyes, hoping that she would say something to calm things down.

Zheng Kexin simply turned her head away, too lazy to look at her.

Chen Shufen simply plopped down on the ground and wailed, "Oh my God, why is my life so miserable?"

"I finally raised my daughter with great difficulty, and now she's trying to ruin me!"

The scene became extremely chaotic for a time.

Zheng Kexin heard her mother wailing on the ground and felt a pang of pity.

She is now pregnant and can understand the hardships of being a mother.

But when she thought about what her mother had done, she felt that she had only herself to blame.

After hesitating for a moment, she looked at Cao Kun.

Cao Kun instantly understood what she meant, and gently stroked the back of her hand to reassure her not to worry.

This farce was nothing to him.

The most important thing now is to prevent this farce from affecting her and causing harm to the fetus.

He gave Zheng Kexin a reassuring look and said softly, "It's okay, I'm here for you."

Upon hearing this, Jia Xiaoming remarked sarcastically from the side, "Brother Billionaire, you're so rich, why don't you step forward and return the money?"

Cao Kun didn't bother with him at all and said indifferently, "I'll pay them back for them."

Upon hearing this, the previously noisy restaurant fell silent.

All eyes were on Cao Kun.

"You'll pay them back for them? Can you even afford to pay them back?"

Grandmother Jia dismissed this with disdain. In her eyes, Cao Kun was nothing but a frivolous young man who had stolen her carefully chosen daughter-in-law.

"Young man, this is a million RMB, not game tokens."

"One million is nothing to me," Cao Kun said casually.

"Hey you, yes, you, go to the room and bring me the gifts I brought."

Cao Kun pointed at Jia Xiaoming and immediately began issuing orders.

"I?"

Although Jia Xiaoming was somewhat reluctant, Cao Kun's aura was just too much like their boss.

He had no choice but to get up and do as he was told.

Upon entering the room, Jia Xiaoming noticed two large boxes on the floor. When he lifted them, they were surprisingly heavy.

With a "thud," he placed the two boxes on the dining table.

"Open the box."

Cao Kun continued to give instructions.

"Huh? Oh, oh..."

Jia Xiaoming had no choice but to continue painstakingly unpacking the boxes.

The box was wrapped quite tightly, and it took him a lot of effort to open it.

But after just one glance, he couldn't take his eyes off it.

The box was full of bundles of neatly tied 100-yuan bills!

Cao Kun smiled slightly: "There is exactly one million in the box. After paying back the dowry I owe you, there should still be some left."

"hiss……"

The others also gasped in shock.

Chen Shufen's eyes lit up with greed. She struggled to get up and tried to take the two boxes of money for herself.

"Wait!"

Grandmother Jia reacted even faster, grabbing the two boxes into her arms with astonishing speed.

She had just looked disdainful, but now her expression was incredibly interesting.

"This...is a million real? It's not counterfeit, is it?"

After saying that, she realized how stupid her question was, and her face flushed red and then turned pale.

She had just been complaining that Cao Kun was talking nonsense, but now that two boxes of money were thrown in front of her, it was like a slap in the face.

Jia Xiaoming stood there, his hand still in the position of lifting the box lid, unable to utter a word for a long time.

Cao Kun chuckled lightly:

"Don't worry, the money was just withdrawn from the bank, and the serial numbers are all consecutive. If you don't believe me, you can take it to be verified right now."

Grandmother Jia clung tightly to the box, refusing to let go: "No, no, no need to check... I believe you, I believe you..."
