His Adventure and Longevity

Chapter 3 Late Gifts

A bride-price?

Chet wondered if it was Holden's gift.

"I don't know which young master of a rich family has taken a fancy to any girl of our Hugh family." Yvette's eyes were shining and said, "Chet, do you know what the bride price is?"

"Tell me."

"There are all kinds of gold phoenix hairpins, gold wisps, night pearls, green jade.. In short, the most shocking thing is the cash."

Yvette patted her chest, still very surprised, and said: "it's 9.99 million dollars, three large boxes. When it was opened, my God, the ancestral home was quiet for more than one minute, and everyone was shocked."

"No one said who gave the bride price?"

"No, but..."

Yvette turned to Chet and said: "it’s said that the surname of the giver was Law, and he didn't say his name, nor did he say who the bride price was for. So now the Hugh family was excited, especially those girls who haven’t gotten married. They fight each other one by one."

"The most disgusting thing is that those bastards humiliated us again. Mom was angry. She didn't finish her meal and dragged me and dad back."

"It seems that mom's mood will last for a few days. If she scolds you, you will treat it as if you didn't hear it. Don't care, sorry."

Chet shook his head, and he was sure now.

The betrothal gift was given by Holden. He even sent the betrothal gift to the Hugh family's ancestral home without explaining why.

He just wanted the Hugh family to talk about it!

Of course, Chet speculated that Holden might want to make him proud.

But with his present identity, even if he said that the bride price was his own, no one would believe it!

Chet smiled bitterly. It seems that he can only find a chance to explain in the future.

"Are you jealous?"

"What?" Yvette was stunned.

Chet said: "you are so beautiful, outstanding in ability and good in character. If you didn't marry me, you would be able to compete with other women of the Hugh family. With your conditions, you might win and marry into a big family."

Yvette pondered: "a little bit, but it was only for a while, and now I’m no longer envious."

"Why?" Chet was surprised.

"Marriage is about the right family. If I don't have the capital to marry into a big and powerful family, I will certainly not have a good life. Instead, I will be trapped in a cage. I have self-knowledge. Now this kind of life is very good. Our family is in good order. I can concentrate on my career."

Chet fell into silence and then asked with a smile: "why don't you think that the bride price is for you?"

Yvette rolled her eyes. "You're crazy. I'm married. No rich man wants a married woman. It can't be me."

That's not necessarily true.

Chet secretly said in his heart, but said nothing.

"Well, I..."

"What?"

Looking at Yvette's hesitation, Chet said: "it doesn't matter. If you want to divorce, I won't refuse. Now we can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau."

"No, I want to tell you I'm sorry." Yvette said apologetically, "don't take it seriously about that mom slapped you in the ancestral home. At that time, she was anxious and lost her mind. If you are angry, you can beat me back."

"What?"

Chet shook his head and smiled, "no, I don't mind."

"Thank you."

Yvette bit her lips and her eyes were slightly red.

Over the past three years, no matter how many insults and sarcasm, the man in front of her has always greeted her with a smile and never complained about her family.

Is there a sun in his heart?

Of course she was touched.

Everyone said Chet was a trash, but Yvette didn't think so. A useless person who has suffered so much will be psychologically broken and even insane.

Chet has been calm for three years without any influence.

What tenacious faith is this!

In fact, there is a secret that Yvette didn't tell anyone. Every time she was hit in life, targeted in her career, and could not persist, Chet's smile inexplicably gave her a lot of strength, cured her heartache, and made her survive.

In times of hardship, the husband and wife supported each other.

"Chet, thank you very much."

Yvette couldn't help blurting out, her voice was very gentle, and then she blushed.

"You are really different. Everyone calls me a trash, but you always thank me. I haven't done anything."

"You don't understand."

Yvette got up and walked to the door. She suddenly turned back and smiled with a smile: "Chet, come on, and I will work hard. Our family will get better gradually. I have always believed that."

"OK."

Chet lost his mind for a long time, then a sweet smile appeared on his lips. He made a decision and took out his mobile phone to make a phone call.

A few seconds later, Holden's voice rang on the phone. "What can I do for you, sir?"

"Listen, Holden, I want you to..."
