The ring box opened to reveal a delicate diamond ring. Although the carat was not large, it captivated Luo Qi's attention.
A diamond ring is every woman's dream, but for her, it felt like a delusion. Marrying into this family, just being able to make ends meet was already quite an achievement.
Luo Qi shook her head to clear her thoughts and hurriedly asked, "Mom, what's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be about introducing me to a job?"
"Yes!"
Zhang Guifen couldn't contain her smile as she said, "Your job is to be Director Zhang's full-time wife. As for the salary, isn't Director Zhang's money all yours?"
"This..."
Before Luo Qi could finish her sentence, Zhang Guifen cheerfully turned to Zhang Nian and said, "Director Zhang! This marriage is settled, and as for the customary gifts..."
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Nian laughed disdainfully and said, "Don't worry, what you are supposed to receive won't be lacking."
With that, Zhang Nian waved his hand, and two bodyguards approached carrying a small box.
"This box contains a bride price of five hundred thousand! Once I marry Miss Luo, the house and car will be transferred to your names immediately."
Zhang Nian gestured for the bodyguards to open the small box, revealing stacks of hundred-dollar bills inside.
Wow...
Seeing those stacks of cash, Zhang Guifen and Luo Chenglong's eyes lit up, and they nearly drooled.
Luo Chenglong stepped forward to take the small box from the bodyguard's hands and hugged it tightly, grinning from ear to ear as he said, "Brother-in-law! I'll accept the bride price for now; don't worry, we will definitely pick a good day to marry my sister off to you."
"Good son-in-law, rest assured! We will surely choose an auspicious date."
Zhang Guifen's eyes squinted into slits from smiling as she urged Luo Qi, "Qiqi, why are you still standing there in a daze? Hurry up and extend your hand so Director Zhang can put the ring on you!"
Faced with Zhang Guifen's urging, Luo Qi remained frozen in place.
Now she understood what was happening. The job introduction was all a lie; her mother and brother's true intention was to have her meet Director Zhang.
Seeing that Luo Qi still hadn't reacted, Zhang Guifen stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, extending it toward Zhang Nian with a cheerful smile. "Son-in-law! Please don't mind; this girl hasn't come back to her senses from the surprise yet!"
"Come on, quickly put the ring on her."
"Hehehe..."
Zhang Nian sneered again, looking as if he had completely secured Luo Qi.
In this world, money can make even ghosts push a millstone. If ghosts cannot resist the temptation of money, how can people?
As time passed, the diamond ring in Zhang Nian's hand drew closer to the middle finger of Luo Qi's right hand.
At that moment, Luo Qi suddenly shook off Zhang Guifen's hand and stepped back a few paces.
Zhang Guifen frowned and asked, "Qiqi, what are you doing?"
Luo Qi ignored Zhang Guifen and shouted at Luo Chenglong, "Jackie Chan, give the box back to Director Zhang!"
"Miss Luo, what do you mean?" Zhang Nian's expression immediately turned colder.
Luo Qi gritted her teeth and said, "Director Zhang, I already have a husband!"
Zhang Nian's face darkened as he looked at Zhang Guifen and Luo Chenglong, saying, "Hehe, I specially prepared a diamond ring to propose. Are you planning to play me?"
"Son-in-law, please don't be angry."
Zhang Guifen forced a smile at Zhang Nian before turning to glare at Luo Qi. "Luo Qi, do you know what you're saying? Director Zhang is a man among men; how many women dream of marrying him? You have this opportunity and you're not cherishing it?"
"That's right!"
