"I don't have that much money. You need to give me cash for this meal right now."
"Otherwise, I'm just going to sit here and not leave."
Seeing the calculating look in Lin Jiao's mother's eyes as she spoke so confidently, I couldn't help but smile.
Indeed, the less cultured a person is, the more they like to create a fuss.
I smiled faintly, "The money for this meal was paid by my son. If you want it, you should ask him."
Lin Jiao's mother looked at me as if it were a matter of course, "Your money is your son's money. What's the difference?"
I glanced at her, "Of course there's a difference. My son paid willingly, but why should I give you cash?"
Lin Jiao's mother acted like a common street bully, "Just because you spent my son-in-law's money, that money should be given to me."
"If you don't give it to me, then I'm not leaving."
"Fine, sit here and don't leave. When my son arrives, let's see if you have the face to talk to him."
Lin Jiao's mother looked smug, "Hmph, you think I'm afraid? Worst case scenario, we both lose everything. After all, I'm just a sister-in-law; the barefoot aren't afraid of the ones in shoes. When they get married, you won't have a good life."
I sneered, "Since you love asking for money so much, why not just send your daughter to the bank? Why go through all this trouble?"
Lin Jiao's mother replied as if it were obvious, "The bank's money isn't mine. Why should I take it? Your family has money; you should give it to me. If you don't give me this money, I won't agree to their marriage. My daughter has plenty of suitors; she doesn't need your son."
I shrugged nonchalantly, "If your daughter is so sought after, then go find someone else. My family can't afford such high demands."
Lin Jiao's mother let out a smug snort, "Now you want to back out? It's too late; your son has already registered his marriage with my daughter. The rice is already cooked; whether you like it or not, it’s done."
I didn't even blink as I touched my freshly done nails and said, "It's just a marriage certificate; getting divorced is easy."
Lin Jiao's mother's face darkened: "If you want a divorce, fine. Your son will leave with nothing; the house and car will belong to my daughter."
I laughed in disbelief: "You really know how to calculate! You want everything without having anything yourself—just trying to take my son's house for free."
Lin Jiao's mother looked at me as if it were only natural: "My daughter marrying him is giving him face. To marry my daughter is his good fortune from his past life."
I glanced at my son who was sitting silently and bluntly said that we didn't want that so-called fortune.
mother Lin's face turned pale with anger: "Mother-in-law, I advise you to be sensible. After all, my daughter marrying your son is a step down for her. With our family's conditions, she could find someone better. If it weren't for your family's wealth, I wouldn't let her marry into your family at all."
I smiled: "Since you feel it's a loss, then she doesn't have to marry him."
Lin Jiao's face turned ugly as she tugged at her mother.
I looked at their little antics with a half-smile, "It seems like you’re the one wanting a divorce. But that’s fine; I won’t agree to it anyway."
"My son was born a young master, never having experienced hardship or suffering, and certainly never been scolded or beaten. A family like yours is something I can’t aspire to."
Lin Jiao's Mother continued shamelessly, "Then you should compensate my daughter for emotional damages with two hundred thousand, and also give us the house and the betrothal gifts."
The people dining in the hall were all wealthy and influential figures, and they cast disdainful glances at Lin Jiao's Mother's brazen words.
