Chapter 21
Consider It a Betrothal Gift
Immediately followed by Wang Yong Gui's astonished cry, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "So much money!"
Seeing Wang Yong Gui's reaction and expression, the three women couldn't help but giggle.
"Yes, that's exactly how much money it is!"
Wang Yong Gui's lips twitched. He looked at the three women, from one to another, clearly showing regret and heartache. Seeing his demeanor, the three women realized their previous conjecture about Wang Yong Gui was wrong. He still had a strong reaction to money. Another conjecture seemed to be correct: Wang Yong Gui's great fortune was entirely due to his dreams.
"Yong Gui, actually, all this money belongs to you. I plan to keep a little to invest in opening a factory for you; the rest can all be returned to you."
In this era, let alone hundreds of millions, even hundreds of thousands was an astronomical figure, yet Li Ting Ting said she would return it immediately. Wang Yong Gui looked as if he was dreaming, unable to believe it. "Sister Ting Ting, so I own hundreds of millions? I'm not a ten-thousand-yuan household, but a hundred-millionaire?"
Li Ting Ting laughed and replied, "Haha, that's right."
Chen Xiao Yue also spoke up. "The stone you chose for me also made a huge profit. I can also return all of it to you; I know you're short on money."
Song Yan Ran also smiled charmingly. "I'm not short on that little bit of money either; I'll definitely return it to you."
Wang Yong Gui again looked at the three women in surprise. Immediately after, he said something that greatly surprised all three. "Haha, there's no need to return it. How can something that's already been given away be taken back? How about the three sisters just keep it! Consider it a betrothal gift. The three sisters are so beautiful, and their figures are so good; just looking at you makes my heart stir. At night, I dream of you all the time, is that okay?"
The three women were all stunned. Such a large sum of money, yet this rural youth who couldn't even eat his fill didn't want it. They didn't know if he was truly generous or a prodigal son. At this rate, no matter how much money he had in the future, he wouldn't be able to keep it. However, hearing those words, all three felt happy in their hearts.
Song Yan Ran twisted her seductive body and smiled charmingly. "Little Brother Yong Gui, you're quite the schemer, wanting to use this money to bribe all three of us sisters? Sister Ting Ting's hundreds of millions might make her agree, but our tens of millions are too much of a loss!"
Wang Yong Gui smiled simply. "Hehe! We're all one family; what's wrong with taking a little loss!"
Chen Xiao Yue also burst out laughing. "This kid has quite an imagination, wanting all three of us? Are you serious, calling it a betrothal gift?"
Wang Yong Gui turned his head away, not daring to respond, just standing there with an awkward smile. He didn't dare to accept Chen Xiao Yue's words, afraid she might be serious; after all, he was just joking.
Song Yan Ran laughed and scolded, "This kid is hopeless. Spending so much money to chase girls, it seems we sisters won't be able to help you in the future; you'll probably go bankrupt if you meet someone else!"
Everyone was joking when Li Ting Ting spoke seriously. "Yong Gui, stop joking. We're returning this money to you because we're close; with anyone else, don't even think about it. You need a lot of money for your work. Give me your bank card; we'll transfer it to you. Such a large sum will probably require a trip to the bank."
Seeing Li Ting Ting's serious expression, Wang Yong Gui also put away his playful demeanor. "Sister Ting Ting, I really want to use that money as a betrothal gift, is that okay?"
Li Ting Ting's face flushed, and she looked awkward and unnatural. "Don't talk nonsense."
Wang Yong Gui smirked again. "Haha, I met the three sisters when I was at my poorest, yet you didn't despise me; instead, you helped me. You even agreed to invest in my startup. The three sisters are my benefactors. Today, consider it a meeting gift! I can't accept this money, nor can I take it. If I wanted to keep it, do you think I would help you make money? Sister Xiao Yue has money, and Sister Song Yan Ran also has money. I just need to borrow a little to make a profit myself, right?"
Hearing Wang Yong Gui's words, the three women were incredibly surprised. It turned out he was just pretending to be foolish; in reality, he clearly understood how to make money from these things. Li Ting Ting understood Wang Yong Gui's heart; he had previously given her the Ye Mingzhu, which sold for 600 million, without any regret.
"Why can't you accept it?" This was what all three were very curious about.
"I don't know how to explain it; in short, I can't take this money. Don't ask any more questions. Everyone has their own secrets. The money you earn is also mine; aren't we developing our careers together?"
The three women were all intelligent; hearing this, they all nodded in agreement. Li Ting Ting continued, "Yong Gui, I know about your Taohua Village. Last time you fought Uncle Dong in the arena; Uncle Dong clearly won, but he praised you as formidable. I know you both yielded to each other. Your future career will be very big, so later we'll take you to meet someone. Getting acquainted will be beneficial to you."
Li Ting Ting began to pave the way for Wang Yong Gui. He asked curiously, "Sister Ting Ting, who is it? What does this have to do with fighting?"
Li Ting Ting explained, "It has a lot to do with it. A tall tree catches the wind; famous people are easily envied. As your career grows, you'll gradually understand many things. In this era, doing anything requires a solid backing. For example, when you have a lot of money, some people will want to rob or assassinate you. If you know those people, they will help you resolve everything in their circles."
The more he listened, the more mysterious it sounded. Wang Yong Gui asked again, "Sister Ting Ting, who exactly is it?"
Song Yan Ran also became serious and replied, "Ting Ting is right; sooner or later, you'll have to interact with them. Today, I'll tell you the truth: in this world, besides the wealthy, there's another type of person, the hidden experts. They are ancient martial arts cultivators from sects with centuries of inheritance, with incredibly terrifying foundations. Today's auction has a few families and a few experts attending. We also had to spend a lot of money and effort to curry favor with them, hoping they would be our backing and protect our safety in the future. They have already agreed in principle, so I want to introduce you to them, to avoid any unexpected incidents later."
Hearing this, Wang Yong Gui seemed to understand. He looked disdainful. "So it's those transcendent experts! Why bother flattering them? I'm also very formidable; I'm good at fighting. Uncle Dong even praised me! Why do I need to find others?"
The three women all frowned. Li Ting Ting quickly explained, "Yong Gui, those experts have eccentric personalities; when you meet them later, you must be respectful. You don't understand how terrifying and formidable they are. You've sparred with Uncle Dong, right? Just one of those people can easily defeat ten or twenty people like Uncle Dong."
Hearing Li Ting Ting's explanation, Wang Yong Gui thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't seem to be a problem! Haha, then let's go meet them once and see."
In reality, Wang Yong Gui also wanted to know his own strength. If the other party was truly formidable, he also wanted to take the opportunity to seek guidance.
"I cultivate the Eight Nine Xuan Gong. Although it's not yet perfected, I wonder if I can defeat those experts. I must find an opportunity to spar a bit," Wang Yong Gui thought to himself.
