School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

"I don't need your approval." The two women were dead set against acknowledging Xiao Han, and Second Aunt mocked harshly, "Look at those clothes, I've seen them at the market, thirty yuan each. Those shoes, my husband wears them too, fifty yuan a pair."

Indeed, Xiao Han was dressed in cheap attire. Just as the sharp-tongued old woman said, his clothes were indeed thirty yuan each, and his shoes were fifty yuan a pair of sneakers. However, wearing them, Xiao Han didn't seem out of place at all.

"Yes!" Xiao Han nodded, saying, "All my clothes combined cost just over a hundred yuan. But what does that prove?"

"You still have the gall to say what that proves!" Second Aunt disdainfully said, "Do you want me to tell you?"

"Go ahead," Xiao Han said with a smile.

"It proves you're poor!" Second Aunt's sharp and sarcastic demeanor showed Xiao Han what the most venomous heart of a woman could look like.

"A man can be poor but not his aspirations." Xiao Han looked at Second Aunt, who, after all, was an elder, and it wasn't right to scold her outright. He could only try hard to maintain a smile. "Having a house and a car is a simple matter. Besides, is a monthly income of ten thousand really that impressive?"

"Simple?" Great Aunt couldn't stand it anymore, she quickly interjected, "Young man, you shouldn't brag like that. I don't even know if you're earning your own money. But you say buying a house and a car is easy, does it mean you have already bought them?"

The crowd looked at Xiao Han curiously.

The man with the surname Xia looked curiously at Xiao Han too, who clearly looked more handsome than him. However, he knew his own advantages. His advantages were having a house and a car and also a high income. These were areas where many men could not compete with him. So, he had to find a way to use his strengths to attack the opponent's weaknesses.

"I haven't bought!" Xiao Han shook his head, saying, "I don't have a car or a house, and I don't have any income."

"Haha..." The two women immediately burst out laughing, saying, "That's hilarious. You don't have a car, a house, or an income, yet you speak so confidently. Young man, you certainly are bold."

Yang Lu became anxious, she hurriedly said, "Uncle, the one hundred eighty thousand used for my mom's medical treatment was given by Xiao Han."

Sss...

Everyone suddenly gasped in shock.

The eyes that had just been mocking and jeering were now somewhat surprised. The two women looked at Xiao Han with complex expressions. It seemed unbelievable to them that a poor young man with no car, no house, and no money could come up with one hundred eighty thousand?

"Lulu, don't let yourself be fooled," Second Aunt hurriedly said. "This man comes from nowhere, and he has no money or job. You ought to be careful."

"Regardless, I owe Xiao Han one hundred eighty thousand, and I must pay him back," Yang Lu earnestly said.

"So you won't pay back the money you owe our family?" Great Aunt squinted her eyes, saying, "Since Tang Ming is here, you handle this marriage matter. If you don't get engaged to Tang Ming, then return the fifty thousand yuan you owe to both our families."

"You!" Yang Lu became annoyed. "Where do I have that much money right now? My mom is still hospitalized."

"Then you should agree to this marriage," Great Aunt sat cross-legged, arrogantly and proudly saying.

"And what if I don't agree?" Xiao Han asked coldly.

"Don't agree? Then pay back the money, it's as simple as that." Great Aunt laughed, "We are reasonable people, we don't force anyone into anything. Besides, both your Eldest Uncle and Second Uncle came here today, doesn't that mean they want you to get married soon, to bring some joy to your mother? Do you really want your mom to leave you soon?"

"Of course not!" Yang Lu said hurriedly.

"Fine!" At this, Xiao Han laughed, "Paying back the money, is it? It's just fifty thousand yuan, as though it were five hundred million."

"Big talk for a young man, aren't you?" Great Aunt icily scoffed, "Pay us now, and we won't say another word, we'll leave immediately."

"Fine!" Xiao Han nodded.

At this, the sharp-faced Tang Ming hurriedly stepped forward to play the good guy, pulling Yang Lu aside, "Lulu, think it over carefully. Your mom is still in the hospital and needs money. One hundred eighty thousand won't be enough. If you're with me, I... I can find connections to get your mom treated in BJ. How does that sound?"

Tang Ming really liked Yang Lu, from the moment he first saw her, he fell head over heels.

Therefore, he wanted to win over Yang Lu, and he absolutely didn't want Yang Lu to end up with someone else. Such a beautiful girl, if she couldn't become his wife, it would be a huge regret. He was determined to do whatever it took to get Yang Lu, and wouldn't allow her to fall into someone else's arms, no matter how much it cost.

Moreover, it was said that Yang Lu was still inexperienced, never having had a boyfriend before, which made Tang Ming even more excited.

"I..." Yang Lu hesitated.

If she could arrange for her mother to be treated in a BJ hospital, that would naturally be the best thing. The medical environment in BJ was good, and the level of medical care was also high. Perhaps her mother could even be cured once she was in BJ. However, Yang Lu still didn't want to sell her feelings or her marriage.

Marriage for a woman signifies a new phase in life. Her life was already unfortunate enough, and if the next stage of her life was just as unhappy, then what was the point of living?

"Lulu, you need to think this through!" Great Aunt spoke up.

"Indeed, you must think carefully." The previously sharp-tongued Second Aunt suddenly transformed into the compassionate Lotus Madonna, earnestly advising, "The foundation of marriage is material well-being. Without money, your marital life will be painful. Lulu, don't say your Aunt didn't warn you!"

"I won't!" Yang Lu hardened her heart and refused, "I'm not willing to sell my life for money, I'm not willing."

The warm expression on Second Aunt's face had just vanished when she suddenly heard Yang Lu's refusal. Her face turned livid instantly. She tore off the pretense, "Fine, since you want to act so high and mighty, then return our fifty thousand yuan!"

"I don't have money!" Yang Lu shook her head.

"No money? Then get married and use the dowry to repay the money!" Second Aunt snorted coldly.

"Are you trying to drive me to death?" Yang Lu clenched her teeth and said.

"We're doing this for your own good," Great Aunt spoke.

At this point, Xiao Han could no longer stand listening. To think these were his own brothers, and these two were Yang Lu's actual aunts, he couldn't believe they were kicking someone when they were down. Such people were really despicable, and disgustingly so.

"Isn't it just fifty thousand yuan?" Xiao Han snorted coldly, "I'll pay it for Yang Lu!"

As soon as Xiao Han's words fell, the room fell dead silent.

"Kid, we're talking about fifty thousand yuan here, not five thousand, and definitely not five hundred!" Second Aunt looked at Xiao Han and said, "You better think it through, don't be presumptuous."

"Is fifty thousand a lot?" Xiao Han couldn't help but retort.

That question immediately stumped the other side.

Indeed, for the wealthy, fifty thousand yuan was just a drop in the ocean, but for the poor, especially those struggling to make ends meet, fifty thousand yuan was an astronomical figure. At this moment, it was absolutely impossible for Yang Lu to come up with fifty thousand yen.

Even if she were killed, she couldn't produce that amount, not to mention fifty thousand, even five thousand was impossible.

"Alright then, we'll just wait for you to bring it," Second Aunt smiled and said, "Today if you don't bring out the fifty thousand, we won't leave."

Xiao Han immediately took out his phone.

"Xiao Han, do you need something?" Li Dapang quickly asked.

"Bring me fifty thousand yuan," Xiao Han instructed, "and deliver it to Kangfu Residential Area in CX District as fast as possible."

"Huh? What are you going to do?" Li Dapang was stunned for a moment; it was so late, and asking for so much money, something serious must have happened.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Just bring it, no more talking!" Xiao Han replied and then hung up the phone.

Li Dapang became even more convinced of his own thoughts, and he quickly ran out while making phone calls and riding his motorcycle towards the bank. It was late at night, and the banks were closed, so he could only try to withdraw cash from the ATMs. Luckily, the daily withdrawal limit from an ATM was fifty thousand. After withdrawing fifty thousand, he would have to withdraw at a counter.

CX District, Yang Family.

The confrontation was still ongoing.

"Kid, you aren't just bluffing, are you?" Great Aunt glanced at her watch and said, "It's been half an hour now, where's your money?"

"What's the rush?" Xiao Han retorted unexpectedly, "I said it would come, and it will definitely come. Besides, do I look like I lack fifty thousand yuan?"

"Looking at your clothes, you sure do seem like someone who needs that fifty thousand," Great Aunt chuckled.

Tang Ming spoke, "Lulu, if you agree to marry me, I'll repay the money for your Second Aunt and Great Aunt, how about that?"

"Tsk tsk, look at Tang Ming, so sensible," Great Aunt laughed, "If you marry him, you'll definitely be happy."

"I don't care for that." Yang Lu shook her head.

"Hmph, you little slut, that's what you are!" Second Aunt cursed.

"You!" Yang Lu was immediately brought to tears by the insult.

"Who are you scolding?" Xiao Han walked over and pulled Yang Lu into his embrace.

Yang Lu looked up at Xiao Han, her eyes brimming with tears, and for the first time, she felt that Xiao Han's embrace was so warm, robust, and secure. She couldn't help but rest her head against Xiao Han's chest. Embracing Yang Lu, Xiao Han said, "You disrespectful old hag, how dare you force your own niece into marriage? I've never seen an aunt as mean and nasty as you.

Tsk, I should invite the media to interview you, see why your skin is so thick."

"You!" Upon hearing this, Second Aunt's face turned green with rage, and she furiously said, "You jerk, how dare you insult me?"

"Yes, I am insulting you!" Xiao Han nodded, "You disrespectful old thing."
