Chapter 246 - 147: The Fiancée Breaks Off the Engagement! She Went Abroad with Her Girlfriend

Chapter 246: Chapter 147: The Fiancée Breaks Off the Engagement! She Went Abroad with Her Girlfriend

Old Chen had admitted it in the group chat, so the matter was now set in stone.

Now that everyone knew, if any problems arose later, he definitely wouldn’t be the one to lose face.

’Time to add more fuel to the fire.’

Chen Mo thought for a moment, deciding to apply more pressure.

"I’m the owner of Villa 8. Thank you all for your concern. I did indeed give a 5-million-yuan betrothal gift, but I absolutely did not do it for the dowry. It was purely to show my sincerity."

"I’ll be sending out invitations for the wedding, and I hope everyone can make it to the banquet if you’re free."

Chen Mo also introduced himself in the group chat and sent a message.

Not only that, but right after sending the message, he immediately sent a red envelope to the group!

And it was for 10,000 yuan.

A "Lucky Draw" red envelope, split into 50 portions.

After payment, the red envelope appeared in the WeChat group chat.

Everyone was just reading his message when they saw the red envelope pop up. They immediately started trying to grab one.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that they were all wealthy and might seem to look down on a hundred or two yuan.

Normally, they might not care about one or two hundred yuan.

But when someone sent a red envelope in the group chat, almost no one who saw it could resist trying to grab a piece.

Especially since it was for a joyous occasion like an engagement—that made it even more irresistible.

Who wouldn’t want to share in the good fortune?

So, the 50 portions of the red envelope Chen Mo sent were snatched up in no time.

"@Chen Mo, what a generous young man!"

"He’s got a bright future! But why didn’t he give a 10-million-yuan betrothal gift? Milking Old Chen for a 100-million-yuan dowry would have been even better."

"Thanks for the red envelope, neighbor."

"Keeping it within the villa community is a great thing."

"Old Chen found himself a great son-in-law."

"@Old Chen, the man gave you a 5-million-yuan betrothal gift. You’d better get that dowry ready. If you try to back out, you’ll become a laughingstock."

"Not just a laughingstock in our villa community, but in the entire area."

"When have I ever backed out of a deal? It’s only 50 million. I can afford that."

After grabbing the red envelopes, everyone started chatting about Chen Mo in the group.

Some people even tagged Old Chen, telling him to hurry up and prepare the dowry.

Old Chen was a man who cared deeply about his reputation, so seeing everyone tease him, he naturally had to defend his honor.

Besides, he felt that since Chen Mo had sent a red envelope, he, as the bride’s father, had to send one too.

Since Chen Mo sent 10,000, he would send 20,000.

Twenty thousand yuan, 100 portions.

Seeing the red envelope from Old Chen, Chen Mo’s fingers flew, and he immediately snatched one.

Hmm, 200 yuan.

Many neighbors who hadn’t been looking at the group chat were lured out by the two red envelopes.

By scrolling through the chat history, everyone learned about the situation between Chen Mo and the Chen Family.

They also learned about the 5-million-yuan betrothal gift and the 50-million-yuan dowry.

’Now it’s really a done deal.’

Seeing more and more people in the group discussing the matter, Chen Mo put down his phone with a satisfied smile.

...

「The next day.」

Chen Mo woke up early.

He disciplined himself with a morning workout, running a few laps around the lake in the villa community.

After his workout, he returned home, took a shower, and made some breakfast.

’I need to visit the old madam today.’

Chen Mo had already arranged with Liu Jianjun yesterday to visit the old woman he had helped the other day.

The last time the brothers Liu Jianjun and Liu Jianshe bought the painting and gold bars from him at a high price, he had already decided he should pay a visit to their home.

He understood the importance of social etiquette.

Relationships are built on give and take; that’s the only way to maintain them.

He grabbed his keys and drove out, first stopping at a high-end chain jewelry store to buy a Longevity Buddha pendant.

Then he bought some expensive health supplements.

Whether these things actually improved one’s health was debatable, but they were the right things to give as a gift.

"Uncle Liu, are you home? I’m getting ready to head over."

Chen Mo sent a message to Liu Jianjun on WeChat.

"We’re all here. I sent you the location yesterday, just come straight over."

Liu Jianjun quickly replied.

"OK."

Chen Mo followed the location Liu Jianjun had sent him and started navigating.

About twenty minutes later, he drove into the villa community where the Liu Family lived.

"Are you Mr. Chen?"

When he reached the main gate of the community, a security guard saw his car and approached him.

"I am."

Chen Mo nodded.

"Mr. Liu asked me to show you the way."

The guard immediately raised the barrier arm and led the way for him.

Guided by the guard, he drove to the Liu Family’s parking spot.

"Mr. Chen, we’ve arrived."

The guard said to Chen Mo before leaving.

After getting out of the car, just as Chen Mo was grabbing the gifts he’d bought, he saw Liu Jianjun open the door and come out to greet him.

"Chen Mo, you’re too thoughtful, making a special trip to see the old madam."

Seeing Chen Mo, Liu Jianjun’s face was filled with a happy smile.

"It’s my pleasure."

Chen Mo greeted Liu Jianjun with a smile.

"Come on, let’s go inside."

"I’ll carry that."

Liu Jianjun enthusiastically pulled Chen Mo toward the house.

He also took the gifts from Chen Mo’s hands.

He didn’t say any polite platitudes like, "You shouldn’t have," or "Just coming is enough."

How could Chen Mo visit the old madam empty-handed?

It was best to just accept the gifts; he could always give Chen Mo something in return later.

Once inside, he realized there were quite a few people in Liu Jianjun’s home.

Chen Mo recognized them all; they were the old madam’s children, daughters-in-law, and sons-in-law.

He had met them last time but didn’t expect all of them to be here.

"Chen Mo, the old madam has been happy all morning knowing you were coming to see her."

Seeing Chen Mo enter, Liu Jianshe immediately came up to him with a smile and said.

"Chen Mo is here."

"Have a seat."

"Mom, Chen Mo’s here!"

"..."

The house instantly became lively as everyone came forward to greet Chen Mo.
