Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 208 Phoenix Man 1

“Baby, the bride price is just a formality. Do we need to care so much about it? My feelings for you can't be measured by money. Don't worry, we'll make up for it when things are better in the future.”

The ugly man opposite her kept babbling on and on. Although Qingmo hadn't yet grasped the plot, there was no need to say more; it was definitely the fault of the "phoenix man" (a man from a poor background who achieves success).

"Oh? Really? Then there's nothing at all? How are we going to live in the future?" Qingmo said indifferently.

Yu Yang: "Baby, although our family can't afford a bride price, your family is from the city and is well-off. You are also an only child, so I believe your parents won't be stingy with the dowry. Our future will be bright."

“But your family doesn’t offer a bride price, so it doesn’t seem reasonable for my family to provide a dowry.”

"Qingqing, you're pregnant now. When our child is born, we'll need money for everything. Can't you think about our little family? You've really disappointed me."

"Oh? So how much dowry do you think my parents should provide?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Yang's face lit up with a smile, and he said happily, "Actually, there's no need to spend too much. Look, my family has already paid the down payment and bought us a house, so your family can pay for the renovation."

When you have a baby in the future, it will be inconvenient to travel without a car, so it's not too much to give a car as part of your dowry, right? It doesn't have to be anything fancy, just one worth around 200,000 yuan will do.

After the baby is born, money will be needed everywhere. Your parents-in-law giving you a dowry of 500,000 yuan should be enough. You're their only daughter anyway, and all of this will eventually be yours. Giving it to us early is nothing to them.”

Qingmo rolled her eyes speechlessly. So this ugly guy was trying to get something for nothing? He wanted the woman to pay for everything, was he going to be a gigolo? Even if he was going to be a gigolo, he needed to have the means. He looked like he was worth a fortune, but he had such a big mouth.

Qingmo remained calm, smiled, and said unhurriedly, "Oh, it's not impossible."

"Really? I knew your family was the most reasonable. Don't worry, I will definitely treat you well in the future, and I will make you happy."

"But..."

"But what?" Seeing Qingmo's hesitant expression, Yu Yang quickly pressed for an answer.

Qingmo smiled and glanced at him, saying, "But are you going to marry into the family? Otherwise, what makes you think you can be so ugly and dream big?"

Upon hearing the words "marrying into the family" and "ugly," Yu Yang's face instantly turned bright red.

"Marry into my family? How can that be? It would be so embarrassing for a grown man like me if word got out. Besides, didn't you used to say that you liked my honest and kind appearance the most?"

Qingmo sneered, "You don't want to marry into my family, and you won't contribute a penny to the marriage, yet you expect my family to pay for the renovations, the car, and everything else. Is my name on the property deed? Will you be paying the mortgage all by yourself after the marriage? Is your skin made of a city wall?"

Yu Yang was furious and embarrassed. "Qingmo, you've changed. You weren't like this before. You used to be very gentle and considerate. You know my family is from the countryside and we're not well-off. We've already emptied our savings to buy me a house. What's wrong with your family contributing a little more?"

My parents made the down payment, so of course it's in their names. We'll live in the house, and it's only right that we pay the mortgage. Can't you be a little more understanding of me?

Qingmo jumped up and slapped him across the face. "How about that? Am I being lenient enough with you? You stinking loser."

After being hit, Yu Yang stared wide-eyed as if in disbelief. Then he covered his face and roared, "You dare hit me? Do you still want to get married? Qingmo, if you keep doing this, I'll really get angry."

Qingmo crossed her arms and sneered, "It's fine if we don't get married. Who wants a phoenix man like you?"

Yu Yang was stunned for a moment, his face turning red and then pale. He then said in an unfriendly tone, "I know you're angry right now, so I won't argue with you. But don't say such hurtful things, or you'll end up in trouble. I'm leaving now. We can talk again after you've calmed down."

After saying that, he left first, as if trying to save face and give Qingmo a way out, so that neither of them would be embarrassed and things would get out of control.

Watching his retreating figure, Qingmo's eyes darkened. She hated it most when someone left before her, that ugly thing.

"Hello, miss, the total is 185 yuan." At this moment, the waiter took out the bill and gave it to Qingmo.

Qingmo: ...Very well, kid, you actually skipped out on the order.

"Okay, let's leave it for now, I'll buy it later." Qingmo appeared calm and composed, but inwardly she was cursing. What a load of crap! She didn't have the original owner's memories, and she didn't know the original owner's phone password.

He picked up his coffee, took a sip, and closed his eyes contentedly, pretending to doze off, while in reality calling out to Xiao Wu in his mind: "Xiao Wu, receive the plot."

As Qingmo predicted, this was indeed the story of a man from a humble background who achieves success despite his circumstances.

The original owner was an only child. Although her family was not extremely wealthy, they were still a well-off family. People say that sons should be raised frugally and daughters should be raised lavishly, so the original owner had a relatively high quality of life from childhood to adulthood.

After entering university, at the freshman welcome party, Yu Yang took a liking to her at first sight and began to pursue her intensely.

As the saying goes, even the most virtuous woman can be swayed by a persistent suitor. Although Yu Yang is not good-looking, he looks honest and kind. You don't have to worry about an ugly man being unfaithful.

Although he was poor, he was willing to put in the effort. Every day, he would wait downstairs at the dormitory for a few yuan's worth of steamed buns for breakfast without fail.

Every time they go on a date, they either go to the park or bring their own ingredients for a picnic. Every birthday, he can fold a thousand origami cranes and stars for free.

Such a romantic man, hmm…

Only the original owner, who had never experienced poverty, didn't understand. He wasn't truly romantic; he was genuinely poor.

If he can't satisfy her material needs, he at least has to provide emotional value. Otherwise, if he can't provide bread and milk, how can he possibly win a girl's heart?

In this respect, Yu Yang is quite clever. He uses these romantic and simple gestures to effectively cover up his slacker nature.

This is because the original owner came from a well-off family and didn't care about these things. If it were someone from an average family, what would he use to deceive them? His long, narrow face?

Knowing that Yu Yang's family was not well-off, during their relationship, the original owner of this body paid for almost everything when they went out to eat or have fun. The gifts she gave Yu Yang each time were worth hundreds or thousands of yuan.

She never looked down on this poor boy; what she valued was Yu Yang's ambition and simplicity.

Every holiday and weekend, Yu Yang would always use his spare time to work. He said he was working hard for their future, and that a good potential partner was someone the original owner was willing to weather the storm with.

Young love is always pure and beautiful, but this beauty is only in the eyes of the original owner. She didn't know that Yu Yang had ulterior motives from the very beginning when he pursued her.

When he first saw the original owner, she was decked out in designer brands and jewelry, which already set a price tag in Yu Yang's eyes. He had always been clear about his goal: to marry a rich and beautiful woman and avoid ten years of hard work.

After getting to know her better, he learned that the original owner was an only child with excellent circumstances, which made him even more determined to win her over.

He had met girls who were better off than the original owner, but those girls either had bad tempers, looked down on him because he was poor, or were too ugly for him to be interested in.

Having finally caught such a docile lamb as the original owner, how could they possibly let her go so easily?
