Forcing Me to Be a Godly Tycoon, Right?

Chapter 204: Chapter 136: Wedding Dresses are the Ultimate Uniforms (Long Chapter, Please Subscribe)_3

Because at this moment, the wedding dress Chen Lu was wearing was of an ordinary style, a complete set would cost at most eighty or ninety thousand, and it would be even cheaper if rented.

And Shen Jiali had a custom diamond dress made here, although not the most expensive kind, it still cost her a whopping 280,000!

She felt that just based on this, not only could she thoroughly humiliate Chen Lu today, but she could also give her husband a loss of face.

Humph, the embarrassment you caused me back then, today I will make sure you pay it back during your wedding ceremony!

Thinking this way, Shen Jiali continued: ”Chen Lu, when are you planning to have your wedding?”

Chen Lu smiled awkwardly: ”This... we haven’t decided yet...”

”Since that’s the case, then you should set your date after my wedding... Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mean anything else, I just want to save you some money.”

”I custom-ordered a diamond wedding dress here, this whole set costs nearly 300,000!”

”And our figures are about the same, so you can get married after I do. That way, I can lend my wedding dress to you, rest assured, I won’t charge you money, I just want you to shine even brighter at that time!”

As soon as these words were spoken, even the beautiful saleswoman next to her couldn’t bear to listen anymore, thinking that this was too much bullying!

But she also knew there was nothing she could do, because in this day and age, whoever has the money calls the shots, they can bully anyone as they please, and you have no choice if you don’t have the money!

With that thought, the saleswoman subconsciously glanced at Zhang Jingdong.

She thought to herself that although Chen Lu, the beauty, was far more attractive than her classmates, her taste in men was really lacking...

But before she could finish her thought, she saw Zhang Jingdong suddenly look towards her.

”Alright, now that we’ve finished with the measurements, let me ask, how much is this diamond series wedding dress you mentioned just now?”

The saleswoman was startled at first, but then immediately understood what Zhang Jingdong wanted to do, and promptly replied: ”This set is 480,000... it’s also currently the most expensive set we have here.”

Seeing that Zhang Jingdong was going to spend money to stand up for her, Chen Lu quickly said: ”Jingdong, there’s no need...”

Shen Jiali, seeing this, became even more convinced that Jingdong did not have the means, and he was now posturing for the sake of face.

So she said: ”You are Lulu’s fiancé, right? I kindly remind you, at any time doing anything you must do within your means, don’t make a regrettable decision just for a moment’s face!”

At this time, Zhang Jingdong looked at Chen Lu: ”I know you want to save me money, but you must understand that sometimes your frugality will make others think that your man, me, doesn’t have the ability, and will lose face. Do you want that?”

Chen Lu felt Zhang Jingdong was a little angry, and quickly shook her head: ”No... I don’t want that!”

Shen Jiali was somewhat surprised to see this scene because, in her memory, Chen Lu had always been a woman who seemed carefree on the surface but was actually proud and self-respecting.

Yet at this moment, Chen Lu appeared almost humble in front of Zhang Jingdong.

Shen Jiali was somewhat puzzled as to why this was the case, but she knew it was definitely not just because Lu loved him.

The two of them had been dating for at most seven or eight months; Shen Jiali did not believe a man could make the usually proud Chen Lu act like this with just feelings alone.

Zhang Jingdong also felt that Chen Lu was a bit scared by him, so he affectionately stroked her head, then said to the saleswoman: ”No need to try it on anymore, please just pack it up for us!”

As soon as the saleswoman heard this, she became thoroughly convinced that Zhang Jingdong was truly going to make the purchase, so she quickly nodded: ”Okay.”

Watching the other party walk away, Zhang Jingdong still ignored Shen Jiali and waved towards the entrance instead.

Long Yue and her group, seeing this scene, thought something was wrong and quickly walked over.

At this time, Zhang Jingdong took out his wallet, pulled out a card, and handed it to Long Yue: ”Go settle the bill, then take the stuff to the car.”

”Okay.”

Long Yue left directly after speaking, while Song Yu, with great presence of mind, stood behind Chen Lu, showing off her professional bodyguard demeanor.

Now both Shen Jiali and her silent fiancé were taken aback!

Firstly, they both hadn’t expected that Zhang Jingdong would actually splurge and buy a wedding dress more expensive than the one they had custom-ordered.

Secondly, when they had come in earlier, they had noticed Long Yue and Song Yu, two stunning beauties with very unique auras, but they had never imagined that these women were actually Zhang Jingdong’s bodyguards!

Shen Jiali and her fiancé’s families were not tycoons, but they owned factories and had a wealth of several tens of millions. Thus, they knew that for Zhang Jingdong to employ such top-notch bodyguards, and for him to look so young, it was very likely that he was not just incredibly rich, but also had a profoundly powerful family background.

Realizing this, they all became intimidated!

They all knew the consequences of offending a second-generation rich who was far more capable than themselves; their arranged marriage could very well fall through because of this incident.

And among them, the most regretful, the most pitiful, and the one with the most heartache had to be Shen Jiali.

The thing that stabbed her heart the most was that the man Chen Lu ended up with not only surpassed her own man in capability but also, most importantly, doted on her so much.

He was willing to spend a fortune for her and did not hesitate to reveal his true power to stand up for her.

You must know that showing true power is a big taboo for the scions of major families, which just shows that his relationship with Chen Lu must be true love.

The next thing that made Shen Jiali feel miserable was that she had waited so many years for an opportunity for revenge, and she had been delighted at the thought of humiliating Chen Lu. In the end, not only did she fail to achieve her goal, but she also caused a big mess.

The reason she got engaged so soon after returning to the country was that their family’s business was facing troubles and needed a strong alliance with that of her fiancé’s family.

Now that she had offended someone as ruthless as Zhang Jingdong, she figured her fiancé would surely discuss this matter with his family, and who knows if their families might call off the marriage.

In that case, she would become the sinner of her family; her standing within her family was bound to diminish, and as a girl, she might even lose the right to inherit a share of the family assets.

In the face of great disaster, people often unleash tremendous potential and intelligence.

Then Shen Jiali quickly thought of something: if she could appease Zhang Jingdong and An Lu in front of her fiancé, ensuring Zhang Jingdong does not seek retribution, then there might still be a chance for her to turn danger into safety.

Thus, she hastily said with an almost ingratiating smile, ”About that... you might have misunderstood, what I said just now didn’t mean anything else...”

Seeing her back down so quickly, Zhang Jingdong instantly understood that she was insignificant, and he then said, ”I don’t care whether you meant anything else or not, I only have one intention...”

”Chen Lu is my woman, so I won’t allow her to be bullied at all, not even a tiny bit! Not in this lifetime!”

Having said that, Zhang Jingdong very dominantly wrapped his arm around Chen Lu’s shoulders and left.

And Chen Lu, far from being slightly displeased by Zhang Jingdong’s behavior which seemed somewhat reckless to others, was filled with happiness and moved.

”Congratulations, Host, you have gained 20 points of goodwill from the target character and are rewarded with 1 million yuan!”

On the way back, Chen Lu deeply understood one thing—if she hadn’t found an outstanding man like Zhang Jingdong, she would definitely have been thoroughly humiliated by Shen Jiali today.

Although she does not like confrontations, that does not mean she enjoys being bullied.

Therefore, she secretly decided to firmly hold on to Zhang Jingdong, and if possible, to stay with him for a lifetime.

When the two of them returned home, the furniture store’s delivery truck happened to arrive downstairs.

Together, they directed the workers to place each piece of furniture in the positions the two had previously planned.

Half an hour later, everything was set up, and Zhang Jingdong gave each of the three workers a 200-yuan tip for their hard work.

After closing the door, the couple went around each room and their faces were filled with genuine smiles.

At this moment, Zhang Jingdong said, ”Darling, go put on that wedding dress for me to see!”

Chen Lu felt the intensity in Zhang Jingdong’s gaze and vaguely guessed what he wanted.

Although she felt somewhat shy inside—after all, she had never done that sort of thing before—she wouldn’t refuse him under any circumstances right now.

Whether it was because of his previous kindness to her or because of the incident just now, she now completely regarded him as her man.

So, she bashfully yet joyously nodded, ”Mm.”

Then she turned and went to the bedroom.
