"Xu Li, you are from China. You should know that we Chinese all have the customary habit of giving gifts, right?"

When Annabelle's mother was released from hypnosis, her memory returned to the moment before she was hypnotized. She thought Annabelle had just left, thought she was just panicking, and started to say the prepared words.

"I know, there is indeed this custom in China, and we usually choose an auspicious number."

Yu Fei nodded.

"Well, it's good that you know that I raised Annabell up and spent a lot of time pooping and peeing. I'm not telling you that the bride price is used as my child support, but

I have to tell you, I actually love her very much, and I will help her save the bride price as her reserve fund. If you treat her badly, she will have a way out!"

Annabelle's mother is indeed a spy, so her acting skills are very good. She clearly wants to sell her daughter, but she can find such a high-sounding reason.

If Yu Fei believed her and deposited the money for Annabel, then Yu Fei would be a fool!

However, this rhetoric is indeed decent and does not make her appear to be mercenary and unsentimental.

"Well, I can understand that, but what do you think is an appropriate amount of betrothal gift?"

Yu Fei nodded, wanting to see how big the other party's appetite was.

"As far as I know, your family is a merchant family, and money is just a number. Businessmen value profits over affection. Since Annabel is going to entrust you with my life, the bride price must be at least enough. If you betray her, it must be enough."

Her whole life."

Annabel's mother felt that the lines had not been finished yet, so she was not in a hurry to tell the amount of money she was asking for. She first established a character for herself so that she could tell the amount in her heart.

"You're right, you are really a good mother who thinks about your daughter!"

Yu Fei nodded as if in recognition, and then said sarcastically with a sincere expression.

Yu Fei believed that she didn't know how much Annabell had told her about the family's situation. She even felt that she should not know, so she accepted this sentence calmly.

"There is an old saying in China that pity the hearts of all parents. My life has been very miserable, so I don't want my daughter to live the same life of being dependent on others. I would even give up my life for her."

Annabelle's mother is so good at acting that she can't stop.

"You are indeed a good mother. I think if Annabel is sick and needs you to donate your organs, you will probably agree without blinking an eye, right?"

Yu Fei really can't stand it anymore. If you disgust me, then I will disgust you too. Let's see how long you can act.

How could Annabelle's mother donate her organs to her daughter without giving her daughter more living expenses? But when Yu Fei said this, she could nod her head and pretend to be a loving mother.

But in fact, what she was thinking in her heart was that Xu Li was so easy to fool, he was so smart. At first glance, he looked like a young man with little social experience, who could make a lot of money out of him.

"Of course, so we need to discuss the issue of the bride price carefully. You love Annabelle and I love her too. This is all for her sake."

Annabel's mother obviously did something shameless in the name of love. With such a life, it is no wonder that she could abandon Xu Guangqi in exchange for the ideal wealth.

"Please tell me the amount!"

Yu Fei didn't want to be in contact with this person anymore, for fear that he would spit it out if he kept talking. Shameless people don't have a bottom line, even if reality severely punishes them.

A few slaps from her will make her feel that the world is wrong, not her.

"Eight, eight hundred and eighty eight thousand eight hundred and eighty eight dollars! This number is very auspicious and not much. What do you think?"

Annabel's mother read out seven eights in one breath and asked for US dollars.

Yu Fei was stunned for a moment, and he made some calculations in his mind. After converting the domestic money, it was about more than 60 million.

To be honest, this amount is really quite a lot. For ordinary people, they cannot earn so much money in their lifetime. If this money is not extravagant and wasted, it can be enough for four or five generations of a family.

Annabel's mother was indeed a ruthless person. When she saw Yu Fei's status as a second-generation rich man, she was so angry that she opened her mouth. Even though bride price has become a public nuisance in China, she wouldn't ask for the price at the outset.

This damn human trafficker wouldn't charge such a price. Yu Fei was really convinced, his face was really thick.

"Well, it's really not much, just a little pocket money, which is about the same value as my private yacht. But there is also a rule in China that parents who really care about their daughter will have a dowry when their daughter gets married. I don't know Annabell

What dowry will you get?"

To be honest, the money was a lot to others, but not much to Yu Fei, not to mention that Yu Fei had no intention of giving it to her at all.

But Yu Fei is very curious, if you dare to open your mouth like this, I will see how you can marry me.

Annabel's mother was stunned. She probably didn't expect Yu Fei to ask this, because she had been abroad for many years, and she had really just racked her brains to think of a way to make money as a bride price, and had completely forgotten about the dowry.

Yu Fei's sudden suggestion really stumped her. She didn't plan to pay a cent of her own money, she just planned to get the money herself.

"I need to discuss this with Annabel's stepfather. There is no custom of dowry in the bandit country. I have to ask him what he means, but I don't think he will accept the domestic custom!"

Annabel's mother reacted very quickly and quickly found a reason. She first blamed Annabell's stepfather for the incident, and then began to apply the customs of the bandit country. To put it bluntly, she told Yu Fei not to have too high expectations in return, and it was best to

Don't mention it again.

But this is such a damn double standard! When you ask for a bride price, why are you willing to follow the domestic customs? Why didn’t Annabel’s stepfather say, “The Robber Country doesn’t have this custom, so we don’t want it!”

When it's your turn to pay, you must follow the customs of the robber country. As expected, double standards are a good habit of everyone in the robber country under Te Mopu's leadership!

"okay, I get it!"

Yu Fei smiled and did not argue. There was no value in arguing with such a person, because if he broke up, his next plan might be ruined. In fact, it was of little value. The so-called betrothal gifts and dowries were all

It's just the rhetoric of "flowers in the mirror, moon in water".

Seeing Yu Fei's straightforwardness, Annabel's mother's eyes flashed with regret, as if she felt that her asking price was too low, Yu Fei agreed too easily, and she would have ordered more if she had known.

It's like when we go out to buy something and the boss asks for 200, and we ask if we can sell it for 150, the boss immediately says that we can sell it. The person who buys the thing immediately feels like a dog, and feels that he has cut too little.

Yes, big loss!

Annabel's mother felt like this at the moment, feeling a little regretful, but no matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't change the number on the spot, otherwise her character would be ruined.

"Why don't you leave at night and stay at our house for dinner?"

annabelle's mother

, and then she began to euphemistically issue an eviction order. She achieved her goal, but she felt that she wanted less. She planned to drive Yu Fei away, and then discuss it with Annabel's stepfather.

"I have an appointment with friends tonight, so I won't bother you. I'll come back another day!"

Yu Fei smiled and refused, then stood up and said goodbye before leaving.

Annabel had been in her room the whole time. She didn't dare to eavesdrop. When she saw Yu Fei walking out of her house, she hurriedly waved to Yu Fei from the window.

Yu Fei waved his hand, then took out his cell phone and gestured to use this contact, then got in the car and left.

Soon Annabell sent a message asking Yu Fei how much money his mother asked for as a gift.

To be honest, although she was sad yesterday, Annabell still hoped in her heart that her mother was not selling her like a commodity, but just to go through a process.

But when Yu Fei sent the amount requested by her mother, Annabel was stunned when she looked at the long series of numbers, and then burst into tears.

This is such a naked transaction, with an auspicious number on the surface and a good excuse for my daughter, but in fact it is a business of buying and selling people.

The moment Annabell saw the numbers, the last hope in her heart was shattered. She knew that she still thought too well. Her mother really didn't want to waste her own value at all, and she didn't care that after asking for such a colorful gift, Yu Fei had a negative impression on herself.

ideas, issues that affect your own life.

Many things in life cannot withstand the test of money. No matter how perfect you usually perform, all your ugly faces will be exposed in the face of money.

Yu Fei was actually very happy about Annabel's mother's behavior. This was simply a divine assist. Yu Fei just wanted to let Annabel see her face clearly, but he didn't expect that she was so impatient.

Yu Fei drove back while humming a song, comforting the sad Annabell.

However, not long after Yu Fei left, Annabel's stepfather returned home as if waiting outside.

Annabel was naturally not qualified to listen to the discussion between her mother and stepfather.

Annabelle's mother, after her stepfather came back, hurriedly reported the battle situation and told Annabelle's stepfather that the price they discussed was met by Yu Fei. It seemed that they wanted too little.

Yu Fei casually asked about the dowry, but he didn't seem to care much about it. She cleverly pushed him back with a Tai Chi.

Suddenly, Annabel's stepfather felt that this adopted daughter was worth raising. He spent so little money to sell it for so much.

However, due to consumer psychology, he felt that since Yu Fei agreed so easily, could he consider raising the price to get more returns?

Once a person's greedy heart appears, this emotion will continue to expand, and there is simply no bottom line. The more Annabelle's stepfather thought about it, the more he thought it could be done in this way. The reason why the couple talked alone and did not show up was because

In order to take into account that if the outcome of the discussion with one person is not good, after understanding the situation, the other person can stand up and finish the discussion.

Then Annabelle's stepfather felt that it was his turn to appear!

Sure enough, the next day Yu Fei sent the distraught Annabell to school again. When he picked her up in the afternoon, Annabell's father had already taken a special leave and was waiting for Yu Fei at home.

Annabel's mother probably did not see Williams today, so the mental suggestion under hypnosis was not activated.
