Ye Qingqing took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, pulled one out, and stuck it in Song Yun's mouth. After lighting it for him, she said with a smile, "Now that we've talked about money, let's not bring feelings into this. For someone as outstanding as you to be stuck in the mire would be a huge waste!"
"You should thank their family for showing you their true, ugly faces."
As she said this, Ye Qingqing turned her head and deliberately said in an exaggerated tone, "Handsome, you're single and I'm unmarried. As long as you're willing, I can go without a dime of bride price! We can get our marriage certificate right now!"
While speaking, Ye Qingqing playfully touched Song Yun's face.
Her words were a direct attack, metaphorically slapping the faces of the Su family.
The onlookers around them were all stunned. Some of the men who had not yet entered the Civil Affairs Bureau sighed to the heavens, wishing their mothers-in-law could be so amiable! If they could add a dowry on the fly, could they too stumble upon such luck!
Meanwhile, Zhao Junxia and Su Jun stood frozen in place, looking at Ye Qingqing in confusion.
Were they hallucinating? Did this beauty just say she wanted to marry Song Yun?
And without asking for a bride price???
They were stunned; was this rich woman really going to marry down? Were they still dreaming?
Su Luting's eyes widened as she looked back and forth between Ye Qingqing and Song Yun.
She had thought that after a few days when Song Yun had cooled off, she would appease him and they would reconcile. But now, out of nowhere, a woman appeared who was prettier and richer than herself, and she was willing to marry Song Yun without wanting anything.
Now, she was panicked!
Ye Qingqing looked at Su Luting's family, their faces inflating with anger, and felt triumphant inside.
Could she use this opportunity to wedge into his romantic life and decide how many kids they would have after getting married? She wondered if Brother Song Yun would prefer boys or girls...
But what Song Yun said next left her slightly stunned.
"Okay, let's go get the certificate now."
"What?"
What did he mean? Although she wanted to marry Song Yun, they hadn't seen each other for many years; shouldn't they find a place to catch up first and take things slow? Why was he suddenly ready to jump right to the end?
Song Yun, seeing the bewildered look on Ye Qingqing's face, was a bit puzzled. "Don't you have your ID?"
He wondered, wasn't this beauty supposed to be a "reward" from the system? Why did she seem so clueless?
"I... I have it!!!"
Ye Qingqing's heart raced. Screw catching up, screw the process! She was going to get her wish today!
"Then let's go in."
After that, Song Yun walked towards the Civil Affairs Bureau, without sparing another glance at his girlfriend's family.
Seeing Song Yun actually about to marry someone else, Su Luting felt a wave of panic. She wanted to win Song Yun back, but her mind was a tangled mess, and she couldn't utter a word.
Today's outcome was entirely their own doing.
If it weren't for her mother's interference, if she had firmly married Song Yun, they might now be discussing which hotel to book for the wedding.
As for Su Jun, seeing Ye Qingqing jogging along to keep up with Song Yun into the Civil Affairs Bureau, his face was a picture of disbelief.
He clenched his fists, his face a mask of incredulity.
Could such a stunning beauty really be together with Song Yun, that poor guy???
It had to be fake???
An illusion???
Is this what rich women are into these days???
At that moment, his worldview shattered...
After about fifteen minutes, Song Yun came out with Ye Qingqing.
Ye Qingqing tightly clung to Song Yun's arm, holding the bright red marriage certificate in her other hand, her face reflecting joy.
She couldn't believe that in just a moment, she and Song Yun had become a legally recognized married couple—she was so incredibly happy!
Song Yun, on the other hand, felt somewhat uncomfortable, because Ye Qingqing was too beautiful, her every smile and frown capable of stirring the most impulsive desires in any man's heart.
Moreover, the closer he looked at Ye Qingqing, the more he felt that this girl resembled his childhood sweetheart.
That's right!
There was a mark on Little Ye Qingqing's buttocks when they were kids!
It happened when they were playing house, with Ye Qingqing acting as the sick mother needing an injection, and Song Yun, playing the role of the father, using a pencil as a makeshift syringe. He intended to just pretend, but someone pushed him from behind, and the pencil pierced the skin.
The deposit of melanin resulted in a mole-like black spot on the other person's buttock.
Thinking of this, Song Yun's gaze shifted to Ye Qingqing's round and full buttocks.
"Where are you looking, pervert..." Ye Qingqing snapped, pinching the soft flesh around Song Yun's waist, her face turning crimson.
"Hehe..."
Upon leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Song Yun saw that his girlfriend's family hadn't left, but instead were staring at him with gloomy expressions.
Zhao Junxia hadn't expected that this poor kid had actually gone through with a flash marriage, and to such a beautiful and wealthy girl no less! Didn't that indirectly imply that her own judgment was flawed, that she was not only an ingrate but also blind?
Su Luting looked at the marriage certificate in Ye Qingqing's hand, her voice trembling as she cried out, "Song Yun! Are you really so heartless? With just a little effort, you could've earned the 200,000 dowry, so why marry a random woman instead?"
Song Yun stared into Su Luting's eyes, stating word by word, "I can support one woman, but I can't possibly support her entire family. I'm sorry, but we are destined not to be together in this lifetime."
After saying this, he bypassed Su Luting and walked up to Zhao Junxia.
"I can let go of the money for the medical treatment and Su Jun's tuition, but the 188,000 dowry must be returned to me in full!"
Zhao Junxia, thinking that she had a hold over Song Yun, had already squandered the dowry money.
But she hadn't expected that Song Yun didn't hesitate at all to end their three-year relationship, just like that; now, where to get the money to repay him?
At this moment, Su Jun expressed his dissatisfaction, "You wasted three years of my sister's youth, and you still have the nerve to ask for the money back?"
When Zhao Junxia heard her son's words, her eyes lit up. Yes! Her daughter had followed this poor kid for three years for nothing; she shouldn't come out of it empty-handed, right?
As Song Yun was about to speak to this family with their revolting attitude, Ye Qingqing stepped forward.
She took Song Yun's hand and said coldly to Zhao Junxia and her son, "There's no such thing as 'youth compensation fee' under our country's law. The 188,000 was your dowry payment."
"Now that the marriage hasn't even begun in earnest, you'll need to return the full amount."
"If you don't return it, I will hire professional lawyers to press charges against your entire family for fraud."
In front of Song Yun, Ye Qingqing could be an innocent and carefree little sister.
But in the eyes of others, the Ye Qingqing who thrived in the business world was a domineering CEO.
Hearing the threat of a lawsuit, Zhao Junxia panicked. After hesitating for a long time, she replied meekly, "Is 188,000 really worth being this aggressive? I'll pay you back in a few days; is that okay now?"
"If I don't see the money within three days, be ready to receive a summons from the court!"
After saying this, Ye Qingqing pulled Song Yun into their Lamborghini, and accompanied by the roar of the sports car, they slowly drove away.
Watching them leave, Zhao Junxia collapsed onto the ground, her mood plummeting to rock bottom.
Where could she possibly find that amount of money in three days?
Su Luting also squatted on the ground, crying incessantly.
The events of today were destined to be remembered by the Su family for a lifetime.
