56: Chapter 56 He gave you three and a half million

The moment she pushed open the door, Xu Mengjie's fingers habitually reached for the wall.

With a soft "click."

Looking at the bright living room before her, it was as if she could still see their various moments of playful banter from when they were married.

Xu Mengjie whispered to herself, "It's time to say goodbye to my past self."

A few minutes later.

Having regained her composure, Xu Mengjie sat on the living room sofa and just picked up her phone.

Buzz! Buzz!

She was stunned when she saw the transfer of 1.5 million, and immediately replied with a text message.

"Xu Mengjie: dear, why is there an extra 500,000?"

Seeing the first three words, Xu Mengjie blushed slightly, but thinking that their relationship was now established, there was nothing to be shy about, so she sent it.

"Li Luo: Consider that sentence a reward for you. I'm driving, let's not talk anymore."

"Xu Mengjie: Then dear, drive slowly."

"Li Luo: Okay."

Seeing the extra 500,000, Xu Mengjie was very happy and casually clicked to accept the payment.

Then, hesitating for a moment, she dialed the phone number of her mother, Wang Guifang, who was far away in Hong Kong City.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

After ringing for a while, her mother's slightly weary voice came through the phone.

"Hello, is that Xiao Jie? Why are you calling so late? Is something wrong?"

"Mom, have you and Dad gone to sleep yet?"

"Mm, we just fell asleep not long ago. Is there something the matter?"

Xu Mengjie hesitated for a moment before saying.

"I just wanted to ask when you, Dad, and my younger brother plan to come over."

After she finished speaking, she heard her mother's angry voice coming from the phone.

"You wretched girl, calling in the middle of the night for such a trivial matter!"

"Who is it!"

"It's your daughter's call, asking in the middle of the night when we're going over."

Listening to her father Xu Dongjian's voice coming from the phone.

Xu Mengjie said apologetically.

"Dad, I'm sorry for disturbing your sleep in the middle of the night."

"It's fine, it's the same if we go back to sleep later. Is something going on over there?"

A father knows his daughter best; Xu Dongjian was certain that his daughter had something to say.

His daughter wouldn't have called in the middle of the night just to ask about such a trivial matter.

"Dad, when do you plan to come over with Mom and my brother?"

Although Xu Dongjian was a bit confused as to why his daughter wouldn't say, he still replied.

"I plan to go over with your mom the day after tomorrow."

"Then is my brother not coming?"

"Your brother will take a bus directly to your place from Shen City, to save him from traveling back and forth and wasting money."

"Dad, I've thought about it, you and Mom should come over a few days later instead!"

"Girl, did something happen?"

Xu Dongjian said, suddenly thinking of something.

"Tell Dad, did that little bastard bully you?"

Xu Mengjie was speechless.

"Dad, what are you saying! We've been divorced for so long, we have nothing to do with each other anymore."

Xu Dongjian was even more confused.

"Since you have nothing to do with him, then why are you asking us to go later?"

Xu Mengjie thought for a moment and said straightforwardly.

"Dad, come over a few days later. I want to introduce someone to you. He has things to take care of these next few days and doesn't have time right now."

Xu Dongjian was a bit bewildered.

"Introduce someone to me? I don't work over there, who would I need to meet!"

Just as he finished speaking, Xu Mengjie heard her mother Wang Guifang's voice from the phone.

"You always say you're smart, why are you so slow at critical moments? Who else could our daughter introduce to you over there?"

Xu Dongjian suddenly realized, and just as he was about to speak.

The phone was snatched away by his wife, Wang Guifang.

She heard her mother's excited voice coming from the phone.

"Where is he from? How old is he? How many people are in his family? Are his parents easy to get along with? Most importantly, does he have money?"

Xu Mengjie, listening to her mother getting more and more excited, quickly interrupted.

"Mom, what are you saying? Am I the kind of woman who loves money? Besides, I've already been divorced once, and I even feel like I'm not good enough for him."

"What 'good enough' or 'not good enough'? My daughter is so exquisite and beautiful, cute and lively; I'd even say that man is punching above his weight!"

"Mom, if you keep talking nonsense, I'm hanging up."

"Alright, alright, Mom won't say it, Mom won't say it. Can you tell Mom now?"

Xu Mengjie thought for a moment and said.

"I don't know where he's from. As for his age, he should be about the same age as me. I don't know anything else."

Wang Guifang was speechless and didn't know what to say.

"I'm telling you, girl, is there any difference between what you said and saying nothing at all? Also, how long have you been together that you want us to meet him? You don't even know the basics about his family. Are you sure you're not messing around?"

At the critical moment, Xu Dongjian spoke up.

"Alright, is it the daughter speaking, or are you? Wait for her to finish talking first."

"Girl, you speak. How many days have you known each other?"

"Dad, we've known each other for a week."

Xu Dongjian was silent for a moment, then said earnestly.

"Only a week? That's indeed a bit short. Girl, it's not that Dad is criticizing you, but you've been divorced for over a year now. We fully support you finding someone new."

"But you've only been together for a week, and you don't know anything about his family situation. Arranging for us to meet now is really a bit of a joke."

At this moment, her mother Wang Guifang's voice came through.

"Exactly, exactly. We don't even know what kind of loser he is, and you want us to meet him. Regardless, my daughter runs a company!"

"Shut up for a moment, didn't you see me talking to the girl?"

"Shut up? Is she your daughter and not mine? Xu Dongjian, you bastard, you dare to yell at me! I've worked so hard for this family..."

Hearing her parents about to start arguing, Xu Mengjie quickly said.

"Mom, Dad, please don't argue. I really don't know about his family situation, but he gave me 3.5 million today."

Sure enough, as soon as Xu Mengjie finished speaking, the arguing on the phone came to an abrupt halt.

After a long while, her mother Wang Guifang's excited voice came through.

"He gave you 3.5 million? Is that true or false?"

Xu Mengjie said helplessly.

"Mom, the money is still sitting in my phone. Do you want me to take a screenshot and show you?"

"Okay, hang up the phone first! Send the screenshot to your dad's phone so we can take a good look."

Xu Mengjie had no choice but to hang up, take the screenshot, and send it to her father Xu Dongjian's phone.

Xu Dongjian and Wang Guifang, far away in Hong Kong City, specifically went to the living room because the light in the living room was brighter.

Looking at the string of numbers on the phone, the two of them stared in a daze.

Wang Guifang whispered to herself, "Our daughter really isn't good enough for him."

After regaining their composure.

They carefully counted the numbers in the screenshot their daughter sent.

Xu Dongjian said speechlessly.

"Do we really need to keep counting? Isn't it enough that it has seven digits?"

Wang Guifang rolled her eyes at her husband and didn't argue with him. Rather than having the mood to bicker, she'd rather count the 3.5 million a few more times!

Looking at the astronomical figure on the phone, she said with some concern.

"Could our daughter be getting scammed by someone?"

As the head of the household, Xu Dongjian was still very calm.

"It shouldn't be. Not to mention that our daughter is grown up, and she runs her own company; doesn't she have at least that much discernment?"

"Since that young man transferred such a large sum of money to her, first, it shows his family background is quite good; second, he is very attentive to our girl. Besides, don't you know what your daughter looks like?"
