Chapter 178


    Zhou Ying kept waving her hand. “No, aunty, this is not what I meant.”


    The other two aunties fanned the mes. “You’ve not even gone through the door to our family and


    you’re throwing a tantrum already. What? Do you think the Sun family is mistreating you? It’s not too


    late to regret.”


    “Mingxuan, were you the one who taught your wife to talk like this? Tsk tsk. She would bring glory to


    the Sun family indeed.”


    Sun Mingxuan was caught in the middle and he felt very awkward. He could only tug on Zhou Ying’s


    clothes and say in a low voice, “Yingying, quick, apologize to mum.”


    Although Zhou Ying felt wronged, she was outnumbered and thus could only lower her head and


    said, “Aunty, sorry. It was my fault.”


    “Alright alright, I can’t afford to ept your apology.”


    Tang’e was very happy and satisfied. Twisting her waist, she happily went shopping with her two


    sisters. She was in a very good mood.


    This kind of woman had to be put in ce. Otherwise, once she joined the family, she would cause


    trouble and not respect the Sun family’s matriarchs.


    Zhou Ying bit her red lips and took a deep breath. She tried tofort herself, saying to herself, “It’s


    your big day. Don’t get angry.”


    While they were shopping, very soon, Zhou Ying got attracted by a diamond ne.


    The ne had a unique design. It was stylish and a good match to Zhou Ying’s personality. She


    already had fantasies in her mind of wearing this ne to attend the wedding ceremony as her


    rtives and friends wished her happiness.


    “This one, Mingxuan,” said Zhou Ying as she tugged on Sun Mingxuan’s arms.


    Sun Mingxuan stopped walking and took a nce at the price. It was five hundred and eighty


    thousand. The edge of his mouth started twitching.


    How could a mere ne be so expensive? If he bought the whole set, it would cost at least three


    to five million; he started to hesitate.


    “Why did you stop? Why are you two dawdling over there?” Tang’e frowned as she said, unsatisfied.


    Sun Mingxuan smiled, looking embarrassed. He ran toward Tang’e and whispered in her ear.


    “What? five hundred and eighty thousand? She’s robbing you!” eximed Tang’e, who immediately


    frowned heavily.


    Next, she walked over slowly. With a poker-face, she picked up the ne and raised her


    eyebrows. After looking at it for a while, she threw it down andmented lightly, “This style is


    outdated, and the material used is not of high quality. Besides, it’s so expensive. Clearly, they are


    trying to rip people off. Whoever buys it is a fool. Come, let’s walk around more.”


    The two aunties alsoughed and chimed in, “Exactly. Diamonds are the ssic case of Ponzi


    schemes. It would be the same as giving the so-called investors your money for free if you buy


    these diamonds. It’s not worth the price at all.”


    “Furthermore, not anybody can pull this ne off. Only those who were born with a silver spoon


    can pull it off. Yingying, give it up.”


    The three womenughed non-stop. They basically felt that someone like Zhou Ying who came


    from an ordinary family had no right to wear this ne that was worth hundreds of thousands.


    Sun Mingxuan seemed to take the situation to his advantage by saying, “Yingying, look, even mum


    and aunty said that it’s not nice. Let’s continue shopping.”


    Zhou Ying felt grieved. She was disappointed and her heart ached.


    She really liked that ne; a person gets married only once in a lifetime, so she wanted to look


    as beautiful as possible so that she would not have any regrets.


    Furthermore, Zhou Lie spent three million in dowry for their daughter, which was nearly the old


    couple’s lifetime of savings. On top of that, half of the thousand acres ofmercialnd that they


    got back from the Chamber of the Four Seas had been given to the Sun family to manage. That


    was practically a cash cow; purely rental alone woulde up to more than a million a year.

    And now, they wouldn’t even buy her a ne that cost a few hundred thousand.


    The more Zhou Ying thought of it, the more frustrated she got. She couldn’t take it, so she picked up


    her courage and said, “Aunty, I remember that my father gave the Sun family three million worth of


    cash as dowry. I…”


    Before she could finish speaking, Tang’e, who was standing there, got angry. It was as if somebody


    had rubbed her the wrong way. “What do you mean? Are you saying that the Sun family covets your


    money? That’s so funny. Please know your ce. Your family is so insanely poor, so what is there


    to covet?”
