Supreme Emptiness-Chapter 34: Please Slap Your Own Face

The entire Xu family stared at these four characters in astonishment.

"What does it mean? Do they think the Zhu family’s dowry is too little?"

"A dowry worth two million! This is the first time since the founding of Lonely Boat City!"

"Does Jiang Fan look down on such a large dowry?"

In comparison,

Xu Youran revealed a trace of desolation.

This is a two million dowry. How could Jiang Fan compete?

Even if yesterday’s Plant Essence was sold, it would barely be over one hundred taels.

Adding to Jiang Fan’s existing 510,000 taels, it still wouldn’t come close to two million!

Zhu Jianshen smirked, "That bottle of Plant Essence, if you hadn’t used it, might barely qualify you to compete with me."

"But now you have nothing, so what will you use to compete with me?"

Lu Zheng finally found his chance for revenge.

He sneered, "Young Master Zhu, this guy might be mute, but his stubbornness is unmatched."

"Even with a swollen face, his mouth won’t yield."

"Only when Xu Youran is in your arms will he be writhing in pain."

Wang Yingfeng’s good mood was immediately shattered by Jiang Fan’s single remark.

"You even look down on a dowry of two million?"

"Young Master Jiang, how much can you offer?"

Xu Zhengyan sighed heavily.

There was no need to compare further.

Even with the help of a fortune deity, Jiang Fan couldn’t amass such a huge sum of silver.

Continuing the comparison would only embarrass Jiang Fan further.

"Alright then, since Young Master Zhu has proposed the dowry, the marriage is settled. There’s no need for Jiang Fan to present his."

Bang—

However, Wang Yingfeng slammed the table and snorted, "Stop shielding this useless person!"

"Did you forget how he was jumping around just now?"

"Today, I want to see exactly what he’s capable of!"

Zhu Jianshen also cupped his hands and said, "Father-in-law, without a comparison, how can we know how much the Zhu family values Youran?"

"We can’t let outsiders think that the Zhu family bullies others with our power, can we?"

"Since Jiang Fan is competing with me for a woman, we must distinguish who is superior, clearly and distinctly!"

Clap—Clap—

Just as Xu Zhengyan was about to speak, Jiang Fan clapped his hands.

He picked up his pen and wrote, "I completely agree with what Young Master Zhu said!"

"Without comparison, where does the difference come from?"

Then,

He took out stack after stack of silver notes from his chest.

Without exception,

They were all in denominations of ten thousand taels.

Differing from the previous 510,000 taels,

This time, the silver notes were so many that they took one’s breath away!

Pure white, like paper, piled together casually.

"Count them."

Jiang Fan’s note broke the dead silence in the hall.

Xu Zhengyan was the first to react, quickly gathering up the countless silver notes.

Though not yet counted, the amount clearly exceeded two million!

His hands trembled as he counted them one by one. Finding the task overwhelming, he eventually had to ask for help, "Yining, what are you standing there for? Quickly help count!"

Xu Yining walked over dazedly and started helping to count.

A blank slate in her mind.

Shortly after, she finished counting and said in a tone even she found uncertain, "A total of 2.7 million taels."

What did this mean?

It was 700,000 taels more than the Zhu family’s dowry, which had cost them everything!

The entire room fell silent.

Pairs of astonished eyes stared at the 2.7 million taels of silver.

Xu Yining looked at Jiang Fan, calm and composed, then at Xu Youran, thrilled beyond measure. Her emotions churned.

Lu Zheng was dumbfounded, wanting to say something harsh but unable to form a sentence against such a colossal dowry.

Zhu Jianshen also stood frozen, unable to comprehend where Jiang Fan had acquired so much silver.

Just two days ago, he only had 510,000 taels.

Little did they know, Jiang Fan previously had 1.3 million taels.

After selling a Beauty-Restore Pill yesterday, he got another 1.4 million from the Zhu family.

Accumulating to a total of 2.7 million taels?

Jiang Fan looked at Zhu Jianshen, half smiling, "Young Master Zhu, your Zhu family can continue to add more; I’ll wait for you."

The Zhu family had no more wealth to add.

Buying a Beauty-Restore Pill yesterday cost 1.4 million, causing them to sell many assets.

This two million dowry was all they could scrape together.

If they added another 700,000, the Zhu family truly wouldn’t have it.

Zhu Jianshen gritted his teeth until they creaked, his fists clenched tightly, glaring at Jiang Fan with hatred.

Jiang Fan calmly wrote out, "Does glaring so intensely help?"

"If you can still add to the dowry, then do so."

"If you have no money, then take your dowry and get as far away as you can!"

Humiliation!

A tremendous humiliation!

In Zhu Jianshen’s life, had he ever been so insulted?

"Jiang Fan! How dare you go too far?" Zhu Jianshen shouted.

Jiang Fan slowly stood, coldly writing several lines:

"Unable to seize another’s wife, yet slandering others for bullying you?"

"Your Zhu family, has it inscribed shamelessness upon your faces?"

"You!" Zhu Jianshen was furious.

He wished to go up and beat Jiang Fan half to death!

But in this public setting and with Xu Zhengyan protecting Jiang Fan, he could do nothing.

Zhang Yuxiu was also infuriated.

She had thought the Zhu family had the upper hand, but they were easily trampled by a mere houseguest.

Unable to overshadow them financially, she had nothing to say.

She coldly said, "Shen, we are leaving!"

However,

Just when everyone thought the matter was settled,

Wang Yingfeng stared at Jiang Fan with hatred, shouting, "Jiang, what are you so smug about? Who told you that you have won?"

Huh?

Members of the Xu family, puzzled, looked over.

Was there still a need to compare?

2.7 million taels of ready cash against a dowry discounted to 2 million.

Even a fool could see whose dowry was more, right?

Xu Zhengyan was dumbfounded, pulling Wang Yingfeng saying, "Don’t be unreasonable."

"Since Fan’s dowry is more, Fan has won."

Wang Yingfeng pushed him away, roaring, "Get lost!"

"I will make the decisions about this marriage!"

Xu Zhengyan’s face turned blue and white!

The dignified authority of the family head was shattered by her roar!

Wang Yingfeng glared at Jiang Fan with resentment, "Don’t say I am being unreasonable. You remember my words, right?"

Jiang Fan, seemingly anticipating this, took out a previously prepared note, "A dowry that will satisfy you."

Wang Yingfeng was slightly startled.

Jiang Fan had foreseen she would dwell on this issue?

But it didn’t matter!

Even if the sky fell today, she wouldn’t agree to this marriage!

"Good!" Wang Yingfeng snorted, "Although your dowry is more, I prefer Young Master Zhu’s dowry more!"

"This doesn’t go against the promise, does it?"

What?

Everyone’s expressions changed.

Several family members immediately advised:

"Madam, you’re being foolish. Jiang Fan’s is 2.7 million taels!"

"Not only that, Jiang Fan is one of us. We don’t need to return his dowry. What he gives, it’s ours."

"But the Zhu family’s dowry must be paired with a dowry to be returned together!"

No family would keep the bride price.

On the contrary, it would be sent back along with a dowry.

And Jiang Fan’s 2.7 million taels could greatly develop Xu Mansion, enhancing the family’s strength!

"Everyone shut up!"

Wang Yingfeng shouted, "I don’t care about the Xu family!"

"I just want to break up Jiang Fan and Xu Youran!"

"I want them to never be together!"

Then she pointed her finger at Jiang Fan, saying, "I’m not satisfied with your dowry!"

"So, get out of Xu Mansion!"

"Now! Immediately! Without delay!"

Jiang Fan smiled without saying anything.

He pushed aside the pile of silver notes in front of him and took out another pre-written note.

"I have one more item in my dowry."

"You will be satisfied."

Hahaha!

Wang Yingfeng laughed aloud, "Jiang Fan, oh Jiang Fan!"

"What do you take me for?"

"We’ve come to this point, and you think I will slap my own face?"

"Even if you present an Immortal Pill, today, you must leave!"

Jiang Fan chuckled.

Holding a note in his left hand.

"I don’t have an Immortal Pill, but I do have this pill."

With his right hand, he slowly took out a jade bottle from his chest.

Inside was nothing else but,

a Beauty-Restore Pill!
