34: Please Slap Your Own Face
The entire Xu family stared at these four characters in astonishment.
“What does it mean? Do they think the Zhu family’s dowry is too little?”
“A dowry worth two million! This is the first time since the founding of Lonely Boat City!”
“Does Jiang Fan look down on such a large dowry?”
In comparison,
Xu Youran revealed a trace of desolation.
This is a two million dowry. How could Jiang Fan compete?
Even if yesterday’s Plant Essence was sold, it would barely be over one hundred taels.
Adding to Jiang Fan’s existing 510,000 taels, it still wouldn’t come close to two million!
Zhu Jianshen smirked, “That bottle of Plant Essence, if you hadn’t used it, might barely qualify you to compete with me.”
“But now you have nothing, so what will you use to compete with me?”
Lu Zheng finally found his chance for revenge.
He sneered, “Young Master Zhu, this guy might be mute, but his stubbornness is unmatched.”

“Even with a swollen face, his mouth won’t yield.”
“Only when Xu Youran is in your arms will he be writhing in pain.”
Wang Yingfeng’s good mood was immediately shattered by Jiang Fan’s single remark.
“You even look down on a dowry of two million?”
“Young Master Jiang, how much can you offer?”
Xu Zhengyan sighed heavily.
There was no need to compare further.
Even with the help of a fortune deity, Jiang Fan couldn’t amass such a huge sum of silver.
Continuing the comparison would only embarrass Jiang Fan further.
“Alright then, since Young Master Zhu has proposed the dowry, the marriage is settled. There’s no need for Jiang Fan to present his.”
Bang—
However, Wang Yingfeng slammed the table and snorted, “Stop shielding this useless person!”
“Did you forget how he was jumping around just now?”
“Today, I want to see exactly what he’s capable of!”
Zhu Jianshen also cupped his hands and said, “Father-in-law, without a comparison, how can we know how much the Zhu family values Youran?”
“We can’t let outsiders think that the Zhu family bullies others with our power, can we?”
“Since Jiang Fan is competing with me for a woman, we must distinguish who is superior, clearly and distinctly!”
Clap—Clap—
Just as Xu Zhengyan was about to speak, Jiang Fan clapped his hands.
He picked up his pen and wrote, “I completely agree with what Young Master Zhu said!”
“Without comparison, where does the difference come from?”
Then,
He took out stack after stack of silver notes from his chest.
Without exception,
They were all in denominations of ten thousand taels.
Differing from the previous 510,000 taels,
This time, the silver notes were so many that they took one’s breath away!
Pure white, like paper, piled together casually.
“Count them.”
Jiang Fan’s note broke the dead silence in the hall.
Xu Zhengyan was the first to react, quickly gathering up the countless silver notes.
Though not yet counted, the amount clearly exceeded two million!
His hands trembled as he counted them one by one. Finding the task overwhelming, he eventually had to ask for help, “Yining, what are you standing there for? Quickly help count!”
Xu Yining walked over dazedly and started helping to count.
A blank slate in her mind.
