Chapter 1495 - 602: Unable to Stand Others’ Success, Greed Without Limits Leads to Self-Destruction
Since this visit is for a marriage proposal, the dowry is the main event.
Zhou Can heard that the local standard is about a hundred thousand. He prepared three hundred thousand, which is three times that amount, it should be more than enough.
"Although this is a bit rushed, you young people are busy with work, I can understand."
Uncle was surprised when he heard Zhou Can intended to pay the dowry today, he looked him over again.
Receiving such a large dowry, Uncle couldn’t suppress his excitement.
Ever since Su Qianqian’s accident and illness, and the call asking for money from home, they were mentally prepared to not have this ’daughter’ anymore. Unexpectedly, after not seeing her for a few years, Su Qianqian came back alive.
And now she can get married and bring them a large dowry.
It’s like winning the lottery.
"Uncle, since you’ve agreed, after the meal I will give the dowry. Then we can set the wedding date, and when the time comes, I’ll send a car to bring you to the city for mine and Qianqian’s wedding."
Zhou Can liked to get things done quickly.
"Okay, according to our customs, normally the daughter should stay at home before the wedding, and then the groom’s side comes to fetch her. But considering the distant journey, some flexibility is acceptable. You can have Qianqian stay at the hotel and pick her up from there, it’s the same."
Seeing the large dowry coming, Uncle was keen on facilitating Zhou Can and Su Qianqian’s marriage.
He even suggested an alternative way for the marriage.
"Thank you for your understanding and support! We’ll handle it this way then."
Zhou Can saw the marriage proposal going smoothly, feeling very pleased.
If nothing unexpected happens, today the marriage arrangement can be settled, and the formal procedures can be done another day.
...
As the meal was nearly ready, a silver-grey Volkswagen Bora drove over from afar and parked right outside the door.
"My son is back!"
Uncle was delighted and stood up to greet him.
Zhou Can stood up as well.
After the car stopped, a fashionable young woman and a young man in a suit got out from the driver and passenger seats respectively.
"Xiao Jun!"
Uncle couldn’t help but call out.
"Dad!"
"Hello, Uncle!"
Su Jun and his girlfriend greeted Uncle, then both of their gazes fell on Zhou Can.
"This is Qianqian’s boyfriend, named Zhou Can, who came from the provincial city especially for the proposal."
Uncle introduced them.
"Hello!"
Zhou Can greeted them with a smile, stepping forward to offer cigarettes.
Su Jun accepted the cigarette and nodded, while his girlfriend politely waved her hand, indicating she doesn’t smoke.
"Wow, is that a Mercedes? That’s a luxury car." Su Jun glanced at the Mercedes parked on the lawn and couldn’t help showing expressions of envy and surprise.
"Rented it. Since this is a marriage proposal, Qianqian said renting a nice car would look better."
Zhou Can explained with a smile.
"Oh, it’s rented! I figured, we are about the same age, even getting a loan to buy a big Benz would be very difficult." After hearing this, Su Jun’s expression relaxed quite a bit.
His girlfriend, however, walked over to curiously inspect the Mercedes.
Women seem naturally attracted to luxury cars and houses.
Ten women, nine are vain, the remaining one only differs in degree.
Luxury cars and houses greatly satisfy their vanity. Driving a luxury car gives face, living in a luxury house provides face and comfort.
"Brother, what do you do?"
After knowing the car is rented, Su Jun’s attitude towards Zhou Can became noticeably casual.
If Zhou Can owned the car, it would mean their economic levels were not even comparable. Only big bosses and rich people can afford such a good car.
The class disparity can cause feelings of inferiority and pressure.
"Just a junior doctor! A few thousand bucks a month and always exhausted."
Zhou Can replied.
"Being a doctor is a good profession! I do car detailing, if you ever need it, you can find me. Buying or selling cars, beauty, maintenance, transfer, inspections, you can contact me."
Su Jun proactively introduced his profession.
"Sure, I’ll definitely reach out if I need anything in this area."
Their first meeting was quite congenial.
Su Jun’s eyes swept over Wei Fang sitting outside the house, initially he mistook her for Su Qianqian due to the dim light. He scrutinized carefully, only to find it’s not.
"Who is she?"
"Oh, she’s the driver I hired, two hundred a day."
Zhou Can found that after dealing with patients often, his skill of bluffing was indeed superb, telling lies without blinking.
"You don’t have a driver’s license?"
After knowing Zhou Can hired a driver, Su Jun’s expression became noticeably more comfortable.
This young man from the provincial city doesn’t even have a driver’s license, seems it’s not much after all.
"I’m planning to buy a car later and then get one, can you also handle license services?"
Zhou Can asked.
"Haha, can’t handle that service. Driving tests are strict, you must participate in person. But if you want to get a license, I can introduce you to an instructor, he’s a friend of mine. Cheap fees, better chances of passing."
Su Jun laughed, finding Zhou Can more agreeable.
At this point, Su Qianqian also came out of the kitchen hearing the voices.
"Su Jun!"
Su Qianqian greeted with a smile.
"Hu Niu!"
Seeing Su Qianqian, Su Jun didn’t call her sister, but directly used her nickname.
