Chapter 184 The Mother of Char Siu Man 2 (10)
Shu Qing nestled in Luo Yefan's arms, looking at him with a pitiful expression.
"Brother Fan, this agreement is different from what we agreed on before. I'm not ready to be someone's wife yet. Can you give me a little more time?"
After all, she was someone he had cherished for three years, so Luo Yefan agreed to Shu Qing's request almost without thinking.
In his eyes, the fact that Shu Qing was willing to get a marriage certificate with him was already a huge joy. One shouldn't be too greedy! Besides, he'd have plenty of time to win Qingqing over after the marriage; a few days wouldn't matter!
Seeing that Luo Yefan agreed, Shu Qing seized the opportunity to make her own request.
"Brother Fan, although the baby isn't your child, he's still an important person in my life, and I can't abandon him! I was wondering, when Auntie isn't around, could you be his father?"
Seeing Shu Qing so cautious, as if afraid of being rejected by him, Luo Yefan felt his heart aching.
He immediately made his promise, "Of course! Qingqing, you must remember, the baby is not only your child, but also my child!"
"My mom is in charge of the household right now, so you and the baby will have to make do for now! But don't worry, once I take over the company, I'll make sure the baby gets all the compensation he deserves!"
Hearing Luo Yefan's promise, Shu Qing felt a little better.
When Luo Yefan saw that Shu Qing's expression had softened, he enthusiastically pulled her aside to discuss the relevant matters.
Although it was a fake marriage, it was still her first wedding, and Shu Qing didn't want to settle for anything less than perfect. After all, which woman hasn't dreamed about her wedding before walking down the aisle?
As a result, Shu Qing also became quite interested and started discussing it with Luo Yefan.
"This is our wedding, so it has to be the highest-class event! I've already decided on the venue—the best hotel in the city! And pick out a few wedding dresses you like..."
Upon hearing Luo Yefan's words, Shu Qing had no choice but to nod shyly.
Just as Luo Yefan's preparations were in full swing, he received some devastating news.
His mother had no intention of giving him money for a wedding.
At the same time, Shu Qing also learned of this news and was so anxious that she almost burst into tears on the spot.
"Brother Fan, getting married is a major event in your life. How can your aunt throw such a tantrum? I don't mind suffering a little, but this is a matter of your reputation!"
Provoked by Shu Qing's words, Luo Yefan, filled with anger, went up to Xia Mingwei.
"Mom, what exactly do you want? You said you wouldn't interfere in my affairs anymore, and now that Qingqing and I have our marriage certificate, why are you objecting to our wedding?"
Xia Mingwei twitched the corner of her mouth, "I didn't object to you having a wedding! If you want to have a wedding, then go ahead, what's it to me?"
Luo Yefan was confused by Xia Mingwei's words, and in his anxiety, he blurted out, "Then you won't pay?"
Hearing this, Xia Mingwei chuckled, "So you came to me in such a rage just to tell me about this! But since you're here today and I have some time, let's just talk it out!"
“I can’t interfere in your affairs with Shuqing. You can do whatever you want with her! But starting today, I won’t give you a single penny! If you want to provide a comfortable life for Shuqing and her child, fine! I have nothing to say about the money you earn through your own hard work! But if you want to take money from me and spend it on them, I will not agree!”
"Besides, didn't you say you're all grown up? How come an adult is still thinking about sponging off his parents? Or rather, how come you, a grown man, can't even support a family?"
Luo Yefan was surprised by this answer and didn't know how to respond to Xia Mingwei's question. His face immediately turned bright red with embarrassment.
In the end, they could only slink away.
Watching Luo Yefan's departing figure, Xiao Ba asked curiously, "Host, do you think his wedding can still go ahead?"
"Why not? I bet he'll find a loophole in what I said and do everything he can to make this wedding happen!"
"Aren't we going to do anything about it?"
"You're not the wedding emcee, what right do you have to interfere? Besides, I have a big gift for Shuqing on the wedding day!"
As expected, Luo Yefan found a loophole in Xia Mingwei's words.
His mother said it's impossible to give him money now, but he still has his previous assets!
With so many good things, he could probably raise enough money for the wedding by selling just a few!
With that in mind, Luo Yefan quickly began his actions. But to his surprise, reality soon gave him a resounding slap in the face.
It's true that Luo Yefan spent a lot of money to buy these things. However, most of these items are high-end luxury goods that don't hold their value.
Now that Luo Yefan wants to resell them, it won't be a simple matter!
Moreover, the connections among luxury goods resale shops are all interconnected, and everyone works together to drive down the price, which makes it even harder for Luo Yefan to get a good price.
With the wedding date drawing ever closer, Luo Yefan grew increasingly anxious. He didn't care about the amount of money he had and spent it all at once.
Seeing that the fat sheep was finally willing to nod in agreement, how could the second-hand luxury goods store owners disagree?
The money arrived quickly, and Luo Yefan and Shu Qing officially began preparing for their wedding.
To save face, Luo Yefan didn't tell Shu Qing that Xia Mingwei refused to pay. He knew that if Qingqing found out, she would definitely make a scene!
With the wedding date fast approaching, he didn't want any more complications! Finalizing the marriage and marrying Qingqing as soon as possible was the most important thing! As for other matters, they could be discussed later!
He believed that his mother was just angry for a moment and would forgive him sooner or later! After all, he was the only one who knew his mother, and if she didn't hand the company over to him, who else could she entrust it to?
Regardless, the wedding, which was not blessed by others, was still planned.
During this time, Luo Yefan did not give up and came to see Xia Mingwei many times, but she turned him away each time.
You want her money? No way!
But Shu Qing was unaware of this; she still thought she had defeated Xia Mingwei and was currently basking in her own self-satisfaction!
So what if this old woman doesn't like her? So what if her child isn't Luo Yefan's? So what if she knows the whole truth?
There's nothing they can do about her; they still have to swallow their anger and watch Luo Yefan marry her.
