Chapter 233: The Substitute Lover is on Strike (18)
Less than a minute after Cheng Fanli hung up the phone, he received another call.
It was still Cheng’s mother’s call.
Cheng Fanli knew that even if she didn't answer the call, they would keep calling, so she answered it anyway.
There was a hint of impatience between his brows.
The slightly sharp voice from the other end reached Cheng Fanli's eardrum through the phone.
"Cheng Fanli, you've grown cocky, haven't you? You even hung up on me..."
After talking for a while, they kept repeating the same thing: Cheng Fanli had grown too independent and was unfilial.
Fortunately, Cheng Fanli turned down the volume.
Otherwise it would be really noisy.
"Also, what do you mean you won't listen to us? How dare you!"
"I've found someone for you, just come back and get married."
"We are your parents, how can we harm you?"
One sentence after another.
They didn't think that Cheng Fanli would not listen to them.
As Cheng Fanli listened to the angry words from the other side, the corners of her lips twitched slightly and her tone was cold and calm.
"No return, no marriage."
Didn’t Cheng’s father and mother discuss this with Cheng Fanli?
Cheng Fanli didn't discuss it with them either.
Just a few simple words changed the expressions of the people on the other side who were using the hands-free mode.
Father Cheng took the phone directly and said in a commanding tone, "We asked you to come back, so you must come back. It doesn't matter whether you are willing or not. This must be done, and you must get married."
Cheng Fanli had a blank expression on his face, his eyes were gray and even a little cold.
She had long known what kind of people the Cheng family was.
Before Cheng Fanli could say anything, another voice came from the phone.
It’s Cheng Baogui.
He said as if it was a matter of course, "Cheng Fanli, you are my biological sister. People here have to buy a car and a house to get married. If I buy a car and a house, shouldn't you help me a little?"
"You're going to get married sooner or later anyway. The man we found for you comes from a wealthy family. You won't be able to find anyone richer than him."
As soon as these words were spoken, Cheng Fanli knew that Cheng Baogui was also meddling in this matter.
Then Cheng Baogui continued, "Don't worry, if you get bullied by your husband when you get married and have nowhere to go, your family will still let you stay at home for a few days."
The more he spoke, the more absurd his words became, and his tone was smug.
This assumption and smug tone is really off-putting.
Cheng Fanli chuckled, "Cheng Baogui, I have no obligation to help you buy a car, a house, and a wife. Do you think your wife and children will be with me in the future, or do you think I will marry a wife?"
"You are such a coward and you have no ability." The tone was light, hitting the sore spot.
"Also, I will not resign and go back, and I will not marry for the dowry that is destined to go into your pockets."
Cheng Fanli dared to guarantee that they must have discussed where the money would go. Maybe the amount of betrothal gift they mentioned was too little, but what was certain was that the bulk of it was used to buy a house for Cheng Baogui, and the rest was definitely used by Cheng's father for gambling.
No need to think about it.
Cheng Fanli has been able to support himself a long time ago.
The existence of his parents had long been in name only. After graduation, Cheng Fanli still required them to give him a fixed amount of 2,000 yuan every month. Later, it became 3,000 yuan, which was every year when they thought Cheng Fanli's job only paid him 4,000 or 5,000 yuan a month.
If Cheng Fanli really earned that much, it would be the majority of her salary, and she would have to live very barely.
Cheng Fanli's current salary basically starts at 10,000, and sometimes it's 20,000 or 30,000. It's not just a few thousand as Cheng's parents thought. Of course, Cheng Fanli didn't tell them about her promotion and salary increase. She believed that as long as she told them, they would definitely take most of her salary. Of course, Cheng Fanli wouldn't be that stupid.
Also, Cheng Fanli has tens of millions in property under her name, so of course she would not tell the Cheng family.
Those were basically the cars and houses that Xiao Shuyuan gave her. Although Cheng Fanli said she didn't want them, Xiao Shuyuan said that she neither wanted to enter the entertainment industry nor wanted a promotion. She didn't even want a car or a house. So, what did she want?
Under Xiao Shuyuan's deep eyes, Cheng Fanli felt a little flustered. Of course, she didn't dare to say that it was just because she liked him and it had nothing to do with anything else, so she accepted it in the end.
She actually didn't want to touch those things, as if if she did, she would be the kind of person who clung to Xiao Shuyuan for money as Xiao Shuyuan said and as his assistant thought.
