Rich Husband Addicted to Acting Poor

After being deceived by a scumbag and left penniless, Qian Duoduo decided to use her remaining savings to maintain a contract marriage with a young and handsome husband. So, she set her sights on Chen Shu, who couldn't even afford a train ticket. Firstly, he looked handsome, which would let her maintain her reputation when she took him out. Secondly, he was so poor that he would be easy to support. Gathering her courage, she said to him, "Hi, do you remember when we were on the same train, and I paid 600 yuan for you?" The man's cool eyes remained calm as if he had no emotions before replying, "I remember." "I urgently need to get married. Will you marry me?" The man glanced at her coldly. Just when Qian Duoduo thought she must be crazy to propose to a man she had only met once, he replied, "Okay." But as the days went by, she gradually realized that something was off about this contract husband. The fake diamond ring she used to show off turned out to be a one-of-a-kind luxury brand ring that could only be custom-made once in a lifetime. The wedding car they used was a luxury car she had only seen at car exhibitions. Even the furniture he claimed to have bought from the second-hand market was made from precious golden silk and wood. One day, she saw a photo of the wealthiest man in their city being interviewed by a certain magazine, and the man casually sitting on the sofa, legs crossed, discussing the electricity and water bills for the month, was... her husband!

Don't Hold Up the Young Man

Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The other guests who came in with the photographer were all laughing out loud. Chen Shu, on the other hand, acted as if nothing had happened. Only Qian Duoduo's face was red. It was as if they had really done something just now. For some reason, she felt guilty.

"Brother-in-law, Brother-in-law, give me the red packet." The little girl smiled and reached out her hand to ask for a red packet, which eased the awkward atmosphere in the room.

Chen Shu was slightly stunned. He had no experience in marriage and did not know that he had to prepare red packets. At this moment, Qian Duoduo handed him a large stack of red packets from behind.

He took the red packets and distributed them to the children one by one. He distributed about twenty red packets before he was done.

The children formed a circle and said in unison, "I wish Big Sister and Brother-in-law a happy marriage and a child soon."

It was originally a very ordinary auspicious word, but after the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them just now, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but blush and her heart beat faster when she heard it. Everyone was giving their blessings, wishing the two of them a happy marriage for a hundred years.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd said in a strange tone, "Niece, why does this nephew-in-law look so unfamiliar? It shouldn't be the one we met last time, right?"

Qian Duoduo followed the voice and found that the person who spoke was her Second Aunt. Her voice was very loud, and her eyes were full of mockery and scheming.

"It's only been a month, and you've changed into a different person? Duoduo, don't blame Second Aunt for being too talkative. Marriage is a major event in a lifetime. You have to think it over carefully. It's fine if you want to play, but don't delay the young man." After Second Aunt finished speaking, her eyes fell on the body of Chen Shu scrutinizingly.

She did not expect that an ordinary girl like Qian Duoduo would be able to find such a talented partner. From the bottom of her heart, she felt that Qian Duoduo was not worthy of this young man. If the marriage fell through, she could introduce her daughter to Chen Shu.

Her daughter was not inferior to Qian Duoduo in any way, but her parents-in-law had been biased back then and had left the courtyard house they had bought to Qian Duoduo's father. Her husband, on the other hand, only got a house in the city, and it was only a little over 100 square meters. How could it compare to the priceless courtyard house?

Ever since they were separated, she had formed a feud with first branch's family. They had not contacted each other for several years, so when Qian Duoduo got married, she did not invite Second Aunt. She did not expect Second Aunt to come uninvited today.

The Qian family didn't want any more trouble to arise on this joyous day, so they naturally treated her well. However, they didn't expect her trouble to be waiting here.

This time, everyone subconsciously looked at Qian Duoduo. Although no one said anything, the questions in their eyes could not be faked. Qian Duoduo had a bad feeling. Previously, when she went out to watch a movie with the freeloader, she happened to bump into Second Aunt. She was the only person in the family who had seen the freeloader.

In the entire Qian family, almost no one liked this Second Aunt. Or perhaps it was because no one liked to associate with this person who went around badmouthing others and gossiping. When they saw her coming over, everyone subconsciously avoided her.

Second Aunt didn't care. She swaggered over to Chen Shu and immediately smiled. "Young man, please don't misunderstand. Our Duoduo has been well-liked since she was young. She has been playing with boys since she was young. Perhaps she was too playful, but she has been playing until now and has become an older leftover woman. In our family, she's the first person to get married at the age of 27 or 28." This explanation was clearly adding fuel to the fire.

After a while, seeing that Chen Shu was not as angry as she had imagined, Second Aunt pretended to be regretful and reached out to gently pat her face. "Look at me. Why would I say such things on a joyous day? Young man, pretend you didn't hear anything. Anyway, all you need to know is that our Duoduo is a good girl who is likable."

Second Aunt kept calling Qian Duoduo 'Duoduo' but in a strange way, she made Qian Duoduo into a woman who couldn't stand being lonely and liked to seduce men until she fell into his hands.

All the guests' expressions changed. They looked at Qian Duoduo with suspicion and disdain.

Qian Duoduo was furious. If Chen Shu was really her boyfriend, he might misunderstand her today. Second Aunt's thoughts were really as poisonous as a snake or scorpion.

"Young man, regardless of whether you and Duoduo can be together or not, you are always welcome to visit our house in the future. I have a daughter named Fangfang. You two are about the same age, so you can get to know each other. In the future, you can walk around more often and treat it as making friends." In front of the bride, she was forcefully promoting her daughter in front of the groom. No one could take this lying down, right?
