chapter 13 I will propose to you at the ceremony!

"Hmph, a position in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, I really don't care." "Let me tell you, I'm one of the four major families in Linhai, from the Du family." "I'll crush the Xu family like it's nothing." The Xu family members listened with fear. In front of the Du family's imposing figure, the Xu family didn't even have the qualifications to beg for mercy. What to do, what to do? Finally, Uncle was the first to react. He quickly handed a cigarette to Tyson Xu and lit it for him. "Tyson Xu, I'm your own brother; you... you can't just stand by." "What I said earlier was a bit too much; don't compare yourself to me." Others also came to their senses and surrounded Tyson Xu and Mamie Li. "Tyson Xu, your son-in-law is really something, making our Xu family proud." "We were disgusted by the things we said earlier... Well, it's nauseating even to think about them." "And that Han Feng, compared to your son-in-law, isn't even worth mentioning." "Brother, sister, this Pryor Ye has a temper, but it's good for young people to have some fire. He says he won't care about us, but you must persuade him." Tyson Xu and Mamie Li were suddenly overwhelmed with flattery. These relatives and family members had looked down on them for decades, and now they were being treated like gods and Buddhas. They couldn't adapt for a while. The two blushed, not knowing who to respond to. Occasionally, they replied to one person, and the other person laughed with their teeth showing. This felt great! The most miserable one on the scene was Han Feng. From being high and mighty, he suddenly fell, and everyone wanted to beat him up. That feeling...was delightful. He begged Olga Xu for forgiveness, but Olga Xu kicked him to the ground. Originally, Olga Xu had hoped that Han Feng would help suppress Nelly Xu. But now, not to mention comparing him to Pryor Ye, he even pushed himself and his father out to block the knife for him! Infuriating! After the banquet, Tyson Xu politely declined Uncle's offer to drive them home, and he and Mamie Li walked back. Halfway there, Mamie Li suddenly burst into tears. Tyson Xu panicked, "Wife, what's wrong with you?" Mamie Li, full of grievances, said, "I've been married to you for thirty years, and I've been bullied by your relatives for more than thirty years." "But this Pryor Ye, who just came to our house for a few days, has made me feel proud several times... You useless man, not even as good as a convict." Tyson Xu looked apologetic, "Wife, I'm sorry, these years have made you suffer with me." Mamie Li continued, "Do you think Pryor Ye is really an ordinary person? Can an ordinary person scare Waite Liu like that?" "Pryor Ye... could he be some kind of hidden tycoon?" Tyson Xu smiled bitterly, "Wife, in the future, watch fewer of those uninformative shows. This kind of thing can only happen in fiction, how could it happen in reality?" "If he really were a hidden tycoon, would he have endured five years at Karen Chen's house?" "Even on the day of their wedding, he couldn't come up with three hundred thousand yuan in dowry." Mamie Li thought for a moment, "Then how do you explain Waite Liu being afraid of him?" "Right, I suddenly remembered that Pryor Ye brought in a one billion yuan order from the Linhai Shen family." "The Shen family is the richest family in Linhai. How could they cooperate with Nelly Xu's small factory?" "Do you think Pryor Ye might know someone from the Linhai Shen family, so he's using borrowed prestige to intimidate Waite Liu?" Tyson Xu suddenly slapped his forehead, "Right, I suddenly remembered that the head of the Shen family served several years in prison." "Pryor Ye also served time in prison, and the time and place coincide with where the head of the Shen family served time." "He is very likely to have met the head of the Shen family while in prison." Mamie Li's eyes lit up, "That possibility is quite high." "Ye Shuai's comeback ceremony, the Shen family is also one of the organizers. If Pryor Ye really knows the head of the Shen family, he might be able to get a few tickets to the ceremony." "If our old Xu family can get into the ceremony... we might become phoenixes on a branch!" "Hmph, the Karen Chen family has always used entrance tickets to suppress us. When we also get in, let's see what she uses to suppress us." Tyson Xu was also excited, "Right, right. Let's go home and ask Pryor Ye." Mamie Li said, "First, call Nelly Xu and ask her to bring Pryor Ye home." In recent days, Nelly Xu has been staying with Pryor Ye at a steel factory. Nelly Xu's home is in the same residential area as Karen Chen's, one to the south and the other to the north. Previously, the two families used to interact frequently, but since Pryor Ye appeared, the two families have completely fallen out. At this moment, Nelly Xu was in the kitchen preparing noodles for Pryor Ye, as a way to treat him. Pryor Ye was sitting on the sofa, watching TV, feeling relaxed and comfortable. "It's nice to have a home." The door opened, and Tyson Xu and Mamie Li returned. Pryor Ye quickly got up to greet them. Mamie Li nodded slightly and said, "Hmm, please have a seat." Her tone had lost its previous sharpness, but it couldn't be considered warm either. It was as if she were facing a stranger. As soon as they sat down, Mamie Li couldn't wait any longer and said, "Pryor Ye, tell us how you know Waite Liu." Pryor Ye replied, "Waite Liu had kidney stones, and I cured him, so that's how we met." Mamie Li looked disappointed, "So that's how it is." "I had hoped you could get us some tickets to the ceremony, but it seems I was expecting too much." Pryor Ye quickly said, "If you want to go to the ceremony, it's no problem. Tomorrow, I can take you in." Mamie Li, with a disdainful look, rolled her eyes at Pryor Ye, "Who doesn't know that the ceremony is tomorrow and they've already stopped issuing tickets? How are you going to get us in?" Pryor Ye replied, "If we go, the ceremony will shine, and we won't need tickets." Mamie Li couldn't be bothered to talk to Pryor Ye and went straight into the kitchen, saying, "Nelly Xu, did you make the noodles for someone else or should I do it?" Tyson Xu also put down a pack of cigarettes and went to the bedroom with a sigh. A bowl of noodles and a pack of cigarettes were a way to repay Pryor Ye for his kindness today. But Pryor Ye was already content. He wolfed down the noodles. Nelly Xu was playing with her phone on the side, her delicate and charming appearance making her look enticing. After finishing the noodles, Nelly Xu said, "Pryor Ye, tonight you'll sleep on the sofa, okay?" Before Pryor Ye could speak, Nelly Xu preempted him, saying, "That's fine." Pryor Ye: "..." Do your parents know you're this mischievous? "Nelly Xu, wait a moment." Pryor Ye called out to Nelly Xu. "Is there something else?" Nelly Xu asked. Pryor Ye said, "Tomorrow, I will propose to you at the ceremony. Get ready." Nelly Xu chuckled, "What about the entrance tickets?" Pryor Ye replied, "We don't have any." Nelly Xu: "Hehe." Pryor Ye's forehead was covered with black lines. What does your "hehe" mean? He took out his phone and sent a message to Ruff: "Spread the news that I will propose to an ordinary girl at the ceremony tomorrow." Ruff replied, "Received. Tomorrow, I'll send 88 wedding cars to pick you and your sister-in-law up." A night of silence! Just as the sky was getting bright, Nelly Xu was awakened by a commotion. She walked out of the bedroom, still half asleep, and found her parents leaning out of the window, looking outside. The noise from outside had woken them up. "Mom, what's going on?" Nelly Xu asked curiously. Mamie Li hurriedly said, "Nelly Xu, come over here, there's some exciting news." Nelly Xu walked over to the window, and with just one glance, she was stunned. Outside the entrance of the residential area, there were countless luxury wedding cars, blocking the entire commercial street. What was even more noteworthy was that the license plates of these cars were black, military license plates! This luxury car fleet had caused a sensation in all the nearby residential areas. Thousands of people were craning their necks to watch the procession of luxury cars, and exclamations of amazement could be heard everywhere. "Oh my god," Nelly Xu said in shock, covering her mouth, "Who has the power to mobilize so many military vehicles?" Mamie Li said, "Reliable sources say that today, General Ye will propose to an ordinary girl at the ceremony." "These special cars are definitely here to pick up that lucky girl." "I never expected that our woman and General Ye would live in the same residential area. What an honor." What! Suddenly, Nelly Xu was struck as if by lightning, and her fiery gaze turned towards Pryor Ye. In her mind, she couldn't help but recall the words Pryor Ye had said last night: "I will propose to you at the ceremony tomorrow."
