As An Eight Year Old, I Went Into Financial Management Behind My Parents Back - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Becoming More Popular

After Lance took out the card, the noisy commotion on site disappeared and there was a period of silence.

However, when the relatives of Shen Mulin came back to their senses, what followed was more questioning.

“There is 500,000 yuan on this card? Are you sure?”

“It’s not an empty card, is it? Are you intentionally trying to deceive people? You will be laughed at.”

“Our family will not be shocked by your inferior means!”

“500,000 yuan? If you had said a smaller amount, you wouldn’t have been exposed in such a short time.”

“How embarrassing! Don’t you know that once this matter is exposed, Lin Yu will have no place in the Shen family? Just for that worthless honor? So ignorant, no wonder you’re poor.”

Amidst these voices of questioning, some people below began to hesitate.

They saw that Lance looked familiar. After careful observation, they guessed Lance’s identity.

However, due to the lack of affirmative voices around them, they did not dare to confirm it was him.

Despite hesitating, they ultimately did not say anything.

“You don’t believe me?”

After the surroundings became quieter, Lance smiled.

“Of course not!” Shen Mulin’s mother stood up and pointed at Lance’s nose angrily.

“Are you here just to embarrass us? Do you really think you can fool us? Stop dreaming. Do we not know your family’s background?”

“I’m warning you, if you cause trouble again, don’t blame me for disregarding my reputation and getting the security guards to chase you out!”

As she spoke, she was so anxious that she spat out her saliva.

This was especially obvious under the sunlight.

She was the image of an irritable and ignorant village woman.

“Calm down.” Lance paused for a moment. “Can’t you just find a bank to see if you can withdraw the money? There’s a bank nearby. This bank card doesn’t have a password. You can get someone to withdraw the money.”

“It’s very convenient.”

Lance didn’t feel guilty at all.

Looking at Lance, hesitation flickered in the eyes of Shen Mulin’s parents.

“Me! I’ll get it!”

Before Shen Mulin’s parents could speak, Lance’s uncle’s brother quickly said.

This young man was still hot-blooded. When he saw how Lin Yu was being bullied, he almost couldn’t help but go up and fight with them. Now that she could finally make a comeback, he was naturally impatient.

Besides, he knew the character of the Freds. He trusted Lance not to lie in public. It gave him a lot of confidence.

“Okay.” Lance smiled and handed the card to the newcomer.

Seeing that Lance did not hesitate, it made his uncle’s brother even more confident.

“Wait here, I’ll be right back!”

After the hurried figure left his sight, Lance did not panic. On the other hand, Shen Mulin’s relatives were still hesitating.

“Such straightforwardness? Don’t tell me there’s really 500,000 yuan in the card?”

“No way, how did their family gather 500,000 yuan?”

“I thought that 100,000 yuan from our side was already quite high. I didn’t expect the bride’s family to give more.”

“In that case, the bride will have enough confidence after entering the house!”

“Heh, and the Shen family has become a laughing stock. They’re still smug about their 100,000 yuan? They’re overjoyed.”

“That’s not necessarily true. Whether this is a bluff or not remains to be seen.”

When these words fell into their ears, some were happy, while others were sad.

Shen Mulin was overjoyed. He was delighted that Lin Yu would not be wronged.

Lin Yu’s relatives were overjoyed and felt that they had regained their dignity.

On the other hand, Shen Mulin’s parents were in low spirits.

A rare look of panic appeared on their mean faces.

The relatives below the stage were right. If Lin Yu’s dowry was 500,000 yuan, Lin Yu would be able to stand tall after marrying into the family!

Moreover, they would become a laughing stock because of this.

What was 100,000 compared to 500,000?

Five minutes later, the brother of Lance’s uncle rushed back to the wedding venue. When he left, he was carrying an empty bag.

Now that he was back, the bag was full.

His expression was even more joyful. “They couldn’t have got 500,000 yuan, could they?” Shen Mulin’s mother hesitated and said.

Lance glanced at her mockingly.

Noticing this, Shen Mulin’s mother was about to fly into a rage when she heard the younger brother of Lance’s uncle shout. “500,000 yuan. Not a single cent less. It’s all here!”

He unzipped the bag, and there were 500,000 yuan sparkling inside.

The scene fell silent again.

After a while, they began to discuss in low voices.

“Seriously? Is it that exciting? I’ve never seen 500,000 yuan in my life. I’ve learned something new this time.”

“Haha, how satisfying! Just now, when the bride was forced to cross the brazier and splashed with cold water, I was about to die of anger.

“This time, let’s see how arrogant they can still be!”

“In the future, I’ll treat the Shen family as a joke. If Lin Yu didn’t like that brat Shen Mulin, with this family’s atmosphere, we wouldn’t have let her marry into the family!”

When they first heard that Lin Yu’s dowry was 500,000 yuan, they were just surprised. This time, after witnessing so much money with their own eyes, their jaws almost dropped. When Shen Mulin’s parents saw this, they felt jealous, but more than that, they felt shameful.

It was as if an invisible hand was slapping their faces. While everyone was in a daze, Lin Yu came back to her senses.

She was touched by Lance’s actions, but her good upbringing made her feel that she could not accept the money.

Hence, Lin Yu slowly walked to Lance’s side.

Lin Yu squatted down and looked at Lance at eye level.

“Little Lance, thank you.”

“But I can’t take this money.” 500,000 yuan was too much. Even if the Fred Family had become rich, Lin Yu felt that she couldn’t accept a reward without doing anything. Lance smiled at Lin Yu’s words.

Now, he felt that he had not misjudged her. “Sister, just accept this money.”

“If you don’t think you deserve it, take it as my investment in you. In the future, our families should visit each other more often and get closer.

Thinking of his second uncle and third aunt, Lance did not expect them to suddenly have an epiphany and change their attitude.

But his first uncle’s family was different. This family was worth befriending. Besides, this was the only relative left. Shouldn’t they interact more?

Just as Lin Yu was hesitating, a flattering voice sounded.

“Oh my, we’re a family, and shouldn’t have different opinions. Little Yu, just accept it.” The person who spoke was Lin Yu’s mother-in-law.

She changed her usual attitude and pretended to be a gentle and well-mannered good mother-in-law.

Lin Yu’s father-in-law continued, “That’s right. From now on, we’re a family. We’ll take care of each other. There’s no need to be shy.” This change in attitude… was too fast. Lance shook his head.

In the end, Lin Yu had no choice but to accept the 500,000 yuan.

The wedding proceeded smoothly. At the same time, those who recognized Lance recorded this scene and edited it before posting it online. They believed that Lance, who was already popular, would definitely become even more popular once this matter was released!
