Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System

Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Someone’s coming! Prepare the dowry!

“Hey, it seems the Chen Family Head still looks down on my junior brother, so we won’t disturb you anymore!” Fang Jueyu pretended to be disappointed as he shook his head. “Gu Yi, pack up the stuff, let’s go back!”

“Wait!” At this moment, Chen Wei couldn’t afford to continue putting on airs. His previously gloomy expression instantly became radiant, with a smile that creased his entire face. Missing this opportunity would mean lifelong regret, not just for Chen Wei himself but even his elders would have him beaten.

“This matter can be negotiated, it can be negotiated!” Chen Wei hurriedly rushed to block the door. “I was hasty in my considerations. I haven’t even agreed to the Sun family. I think Menghan and Wang Cong being together is what’s best for her!”

Chen Wei managed to speak such shameless words without blushing or feeling guilty. Compared to the resources in question, one’s pride was nothing. The dowry offered by Fang Jueyu was leagues above what the Sun family proposed, even multiplied tenfold, it couldn’t match the value of a single Hidden Essence Pill.

Having such a son-in-law would mean an endless supply of resources for the Chen family, wouldn’t it? Their mysterious master offering so much for a marriage proposal clearly showed Wang Cong’s important position in his heart.

Wang Cong came from an ordinary commercial family and held no ties with any family or sect. If his daughter married him, he’d be considered half of the Chen family himself.

If things went as Fang Jueyu said, in a few years, the Chen family could have an additional master at the Heavenly Human Realm, Divinity Transformation Realm, or even the Mythical Realm! The Chen family could then secure its place as the leading family and perhaps carry on for generations!

“The Chen Family Head still needs to consider? It seems our sincerity is lacking!” Fang Jueyu shook his head lamentably, “Wang Cong, let’s go. Senior Brother knows a few young ladies from the Ancient Martial Families. He’ll introduce you then!”

Fang Jueyu’s performance was so convincing he nearly dragged Wang Cong with him, while Gu Yi cooperated by packing up the dowry gifts, seemingly determined to leave.

“Consider? When did I ever say I needed to consider?” Chen Wei was shamelessly desperate. “Someone, help me prepare the dowry!”

“Hey, hey, hey, Chen Family Head, don’t be so hasty, don’t be so hasty!” Fang Jueyu nearly burst into laughter on hearing this—it was as if he were afraid the deal wouldn’t go through!

“These two have only known each other for a month. Young people in relationships—sudden marriages are rare. Everyone should still spend more time getting to know each other.” Fang Jueyu took on the guise of being Wang Cong’s elder.

“We’re offering this dowry as a guarantee that you won’t interfere with their relationship. Nowadays, everyone advocates for free love. Why should parents meddle? Wouldn’t you agree?”

“Yes, yes, yes! As long as Menghan likes him, I won’t interfere anymore,” Chen Wei’s shameless behavior made his two sons’ faces flush with embarrassment.

But who could resist such a generous dowry? Even someone else might be more practical than Chen Wei in this situation.

His daughter liked him, and the other party was so generous. There was even a mysterious, exceptionally skilled master behind him; could there be anything more perfect in this world?

“Today, I’ll find an opportunity to turn down the Sun family,” Chen Wei promised. “This dowry…”

“This was sent by my master for my junior brother, and since the Chen Family Head has no objections, please, accept it.”

“Great, great!” Chen Wei’s smile was as bright as a flower. “Lin’er, Fei’er, make sure to put these things away safely and go get your grandfather and great-grandfather. Have them handle the distribution! Do not let this leak, or family law will be enforced!”

“Got it, Dad.” Chen Menghan’s two brothers quickly left the villa with several boxes.

“Wang Cong, don’t mind my dad, he’s a bit…” At this point, Chen Menghan wished she could find a hole to crawl into; Chen Wei’s behavior today was utterly embarrassing.

“Come, let’s go. Today, I’ll take advantage of my birthday to announce your relationship!”

Just days ago, he had someone beat up Wang Cong, yet now he treated Wang Cong like a second son. Truly, money makes the world go around.

“Hey, old Fang, you really exaggerated! I’ve only learned taekwondo and jiu-jitsu since I was a child, nothing else. What’s this about Innate Martial Artists or Heavenly Human Realm? I don’t understand any of it. If he investigates this in a few years, how will I cover it up?”

While Wang Cong was pleased with Chen Wei’s approval, a hint of worry lingered in his mind.

“Who said I exaggerated? When have I ever bragged? If I can’t do it, I won’t say anything, but if I do, I’ll definitely get it done. An Innate Martial Artist? I can get you there in a year,” Fang Jueyu whispered.

“Really?” Wang Cong’s eyes widened.

“Do you think I’d deceive you?” Fang Jueyu said mysteriously. “Honestly, I inherited a school from my dad. This school teaches everything. Just half a year ago, I was still an ordinary person!”

“Holy cow, you own a psychiatric hospital and a school? You’ve truly embraced the role of director!”

“Hahaha, I’ll take you there in a few days, along with your girlfriend. She’s almost ready for a Force Transform, and in about half a year, she should reach the Innate level. Then, your father-in-law won’t doubt anything.”

“Really?” Chen Menghan was almost stunned—it seemed each sentence from Fang Jueyu challenged her worldview of the past twenty years.

No, when she first saw Fang Jueyu feeding precious pills to his dog, her worldview had already collapsed. What kind of tycoon was this? He was a super tycoon!

“But there’s one thing: you can’t reveal what you learn there to anyone besides those in the school!”

“Don’t worry, I’m tight-lipped!”

“Bullshit, you’re the one I trust the least!”

Relaxing his mood, Fang Jueyu casually bickered with Wang Cong.

Following Chen Wei, the three of them arrived at the birthday banquet venue. Seeing Chen Wei’s arrival, many stood up to congratulate him.

“Thank you all for coming!” Chen Wei’s face was radiant. “I am grateful for your presence at my 50th birthday celebration. I know many of you have come from afar, so please enjoy yourselves today!”

“Moreover, I’d like to take this opportunity to announce something,” Chen Wei led Chen Menghan with one hand and Wang Cong with the other, bringing them to his side. “I’d like to introduce my future son-in-law from the Chen family, Wang Cong from the Baidar Group!”

“What? Why him?”

“This is odd. How could Chen Wei marry his daughter to the son of a mundane businessman?”

“Could it be true? I just saw the Sun family delivering a dowry today, and now the Sun family looks utterly disgraced!”

“Has the Chen Family Head gone mad? Is he determined to offend the Sun family to such an extent?”

“Chen Wei! Didn’t you just say you would consider it? We’ve already sent the dowry, yet you show no regard for the Sun family?” Inevitably, upon hearing the news, the Sun family couldn’t hold their temper, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly turned tense…
