After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!-Chapter 2296: The Process and the Ending

Xia Wan did not know about any of this as Gao Long had not even mentioned it to her. It was Qiao Mei who knew a little more about all this. After all, the Gao family had already started to transfer their overseas assets back to their home country. Some of these were even handled by Xia Zhe.

However, this was only Qiao Mei's guess. Qiao Mei would not tell Xia Wan anything that was not conclusive. What if Gao Long did not have any intention of returning to the country with Xia Wan and Qiao Mei made her happy for nothing?

"You can't just trick us of Xia Wan with such empty talk. You have to give me a guarantee, otherwise I won't hand Xia Wan over to you," Liu Fen said.

"As long as Xia Wan and I can get married, I'll hand over 70% of my assets to Xia Wan after the wedding. I need the remaining 30% to run the company and pay my employees," Gao Long said calmly.

Liu Fen did not know how much money Gao Long had. If he was just a boss of a small business with assets worth hundreds of thousands, 70% of that would only be 200,000 to 300,000 dollars. That was not even as much as what Qiao Mei had! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

She raised her head to look at Qiao Mei, wanting Qiao Mei to give her an indication. After all, in this family, apart from Xia Wan, the next person she trusted the most was Qiao Mei.

"Uncle's assets are three times that of my assets in this country. 70% of his assets are equivalent to... 60 million local dollars." Qiao Mei did a rough calculation. Of course, this was not in cash, but mainly the value of the fixed assets.

Liu Fen gasped. An amount of 60 million! She had seen 6,000 dollars and 10,000 dollars before. This... how much money was 60 million dollars? It would probably fill up the entire courtyard. Even the bank would not be able to fit it all!

"Mother! I'm not doing this for his money!" Xia Wan said anxiously.

"Elder Cousin, calm down. Second Aunt-in-law doesn't mean that!" Xia He grabbed Xia Wan's wrist and whispered. She was worried that Xia Wan would hurt Liu Fen's feelings.

"If Xia Wan wants to marry you, I have no objections. However, on the day you register your marriage, I must see the contract to transfer the 70% of your assets to her. Otherwise, I won't let Xia Wan marry you. Although my husband is the second son of the Xia family, we're not as rich as the eldest son's family. We're just ordinary folks."

Liu Fen paused for a moment before continuing, "But our family can still afford to support my daughter and granddaughter."

"I will definitely keep my word and not disappoint you," Gao Long said.

Liu Fen did not look at Xia Wan's reaction. She quickly left Xia Wen's house and did not even say much to her own family members. As she walked out, she looked as if she had aged a lot. Xia Wan said with tears in her eyes, "Did I go overboard... Did I... Did I hurt Mother's heart..." Everyone fell silent. After all, this was the second son's family matter and it was not appropriate for the eldest son's family to say anything. Xia You looked at Xia Wan and said, "Elder Sister, you have indeed misunderstood Mother today. The clothes that Mother is wearing today are all new ones that she bought yesterday. The jewelry that she wore are also her most treasured items. She just wants to give you a stable future."

Lu Huai quickly covered Xia You's mouth and whispered, "Can't you control yourself at a time like this!"

"What's wrong with me? I'm just telling the truth. Mother is indeed sad and I feel terrible too!"

Xia You looked at Xia Wan in annoyance and said, "Elder Sister, I'm your biological sister. It's fine if our two younger brothers don't know anything, but why can't you tell me about this in advance? Is your family so untrustworthy in your eyes? We're really very disappointed with "you!"

Xia Wan lowered her head and did not speak. Xia You left in a hurry and they parted on bad terms.

Although the family had approved of Gao Long at the gathering today, they all felt very sad about Xia Wan's actions of hiding the truth from them. After all, all the elders had watched Xia Wan grow up and those from the younger generation were all quite close to Xia Wan.

No one knew anything although it was such a big issue. It was also only after Qiao Mei arrived in Country M that she found out that there was something going on between Xia Wan and Gao Long.

"Everyone, please make yourselves at home. I still have something on at the art troupe, so I'll make a move first. I'll invite the two of you to my house another day," Xu Lan said politely to Gao Long and Xia Wan.

"Thank you, Eldest Aunt," Xia Wan said.

"Thank you. I look forward to it," Gao Long replied.

Xia Wan turned to face everyone and said, "I'm really sorry. I have ruined the gathering today..."

"It's fine. We're family. There's no need to be so polite. We should enjoy ourselves more without the adults around! Let's go and have fun at Qiao Mei's manor!" Xia He said happily. "Have you been eyeing my manor for a long time? It hasn't been cleaned properly yet," Qiao Mei said helplessly.

Xia He looked at Qiao Mei doubtfully and asked, "I thought you hired people to clean the house regularly? You have someone to take care of the rest of your houses, so how can you leave out this place? You must be lying to me!"
