### Chapter 182: This 2 Million Yuan Humiliation
"We're here to attend the wedding, so it's only polite to give a gift, right?"
Ye Chui and the others from the studio were discussing this. Originally, they just planned to come and show off a bit, but now they also had to prepare a gift. Ye Chui looked at everyone and asked, "Does anyone have any money on them?"
"Definitely not," Fang Nan and Eva quickly replied. Their dresses didn't have pockets, and they definitely weren't carrying any money.
Ye Chui and Fang Xi also had brand-new clothes, so it was unlikely they had any money on them.
However, Robert pulled a few coins out of his pocket. "I got these as change when I bought fried dough sticks this morning."
"..."
Everyone was speechless. The clothes had been bought the previous day and given directly to Robert. He actually wore them to buy fried dough sticks this morning?
The image was certainly striking.
"But giving just a few coins as a gift is too shabby," Ye Chui continued.
"Brother Ye, I have some fruit candies here. The wrappers are red. We can wrap the coins in the candy wrappers so it doesn’t look too bad," little Wang Shiyu suggested.
Her dress had a cute design with a crossbody bag, and she had stuffed it with lots of candies in the morning.
Hearing Wang Shiyu's suggestion, Ye Chui and the others nodded in agreement. "Good idea."
So a few minutes later, Ye Chui handed the coins wrapped in red candy wrappers to Lin Youcai. "Here’s our gift. Keep it safe."
"..."
Lin Youcai's lips twitched, but he couldn’t say anything. Such a high-end gift left him at a loss for words.
Ignoring the dumbfounded Lin Youcai, Ye Chui and his group continued towards the hall.
Cao Kang suddenly came out of the hall.
As the groom, he had the responsibility to greet guests. Cao Kang looked a bit thin but his eyes shone with excitement. He was not only happy about the wedding but also because he had finally lost the 2 million yuan he had considered a curse.
Seeing Ye Chui, Cao Kang paused for a moment, then walked over with a sneer.
This was his wedding, his territory.
He was determined to make Ye Chui regret coming!
Feeling more confident, Cao Kang approached Ye Chui. "I didn't think you'd actually dare come to my wedding."
"Why wouldn’t I?" Ye Chui sneered. "As an ex-boyfriend, I must attend. I also have a big gift for you."
"Humph. Today, many prominent people in Yanjing will be here. I want to see what you can do," Cao Kang said confidently.
"I guarantee it will be a gift you'll never forget," Ye Chui said coldly.
Lin Youcai, sensing an opportunity, whispered greedily to Cao Kang, pointing at his own clothes. "Good son-in-law, you bought me this suit for two thousand yuan. Isn't that too cheap? Their clothes are worth twenty thousand yuan. We can’t lose face. Shouldn’t you get me a better suit, at least one worth forty thousand?"
Clearly, he hadn’t forgotten being mocked by Robert's price tag earlier.
Cao Kang impatiently glanced at Lin Youcai. He found his future father-in-law incredibly annoying, a greedy, petty man.
He then turned his attention back to Ye Chui and his group. With his sharp eye for detail, Cao Kang quickly noticed that their clothes were not cheap.
They were luxurious!
Robert and Fang Xi’s suits were the latest from the world-famous brand Animara, each costing twenty thousand yuan.
Ye Chui’s suit was even more impressive, custom-made with the most expensive nano silk fabric, tailored by a top designer, costing at least forty to fifty thousand yuan.
Eva and Fang Nan’s dresses had recently been showcased at the Paris Fashion Show, each priced over thirty thousand yuan.
Even Wang Shiyu’s outfit cost no less than ten thousand yuan.
Cao Kang quickly estimated that the total cost of their clothes was over one hundred fifty thousand yuan!
"They wore such extravagant clothes to my wedding? Did they get this money out of nowhere?" Cao Kang thought sourly. His own wedding suit cost just under ten thousand yuan!
Just then, Wang Shiyu's clear voice suddenly sounded next to Cao Kang's ear—
"Thank you."
"Thank you?" Cao Kang looked down at Wang Shiyu, puzzled. Why was this little girl thanking him? Cao Kang didn’t like children, even though Wang Shiyu was quite cute... He said coldly, "Why are you thanking me? I don't even know you!"
Wang Shiyu pouted angrily. "We're so familiar, how can you not recognize me?"
"Who’s familiar with you!?"
Cao Kang was getting impatient. Who was this little girl Ye Chui brought, trying to get close to him!?
He turned to Ye Chui. "Who is she?"
"You really don’t recognize her?" Ye Chui smiled, tapping his forehead. "No wonder. You probably never spoke to her in person, but you must know her online name—she's Arale."
"What?!"
Cao Kang was shocked, almost jumping up. He stared at Wang Shiyu. "You're... Arale?"
Wang Shiyu pointed at her own face and said cutely, "Yes, I'm Arale."
"..."
Cao Kang felt his brain short-circuiting.
For the past half month, he had played at least ten hours of Landlord with Arale daily. Though they didn’t talk much, he assumed from her skill that she was an experienced player, likely older.
But she was just a little girl?
She looked only seven or eight years old!!!
How was this possible?
As Cao Kang’s worldview was shattering, Wang Shiyu spun around, holding her dress, and said, "Little Landlord, do you like my dress? I bought it with the money you lost to me."
"With the money I lost to you?" Cao Kang was stunned again.
Wang Shiyu nodded, pointing at Ye Chui and the others behind her. "Their clothes were bought with that money too. Isn’t everyone handsome and beautiful? It cost over a hundred thousand yuan."
"This is impossible!"
Cao Kang shouted, "How can X Coin from Professor X’s game website be exchanged for yuan?"
"Ahem." Ye Chui cleared his throat, catching Cao Kang’s attention. "I own the website."
"..."
Cao Kang was speechless. This felt like bullying.
Why couldn’t he exchange the two million yuan he had spent into cash, but Wang Shiyu could?
It wasn’t fair. It was outright bullying!
Cao Kang glanced at Ye Chui's gleaming fifty-thousand-yuan suit, then at his own ten-thousand-yuan suit, feeling like crying...
This was a two million yuan humiliation!
Lin Youcai, still confused about what had happened, couldn’t help but feel upset. He approached Cao Kang and whispered, "Good son-in-law, how could you do such a thing? We can’t lose face. Give me a hundred thousand yuan to buy some new, fancy clothes..."
"Shut up!"
Cao Kang snapped at his future father-in-law. If it weren’t his wedding day, he would have taught the old man a lesson!
Lin Youcai wisely kept quiet.
Ye Chui felt great, though his expression remained cold. The wedding had just started; the real show was yet to come...
He told Fang Nan and the others, "Let’s go inside."
"Mm."
Fang Nan and Fang Xi felt equally thrilled, but they soon stopped again—they were faced with a flight of steps leading to the hall, and Ye Chui was still in a wheelchair. How would they get up?
"Hahaha..." Seeing this, Cao Kang laughed loudly. "What now, can’t get up the steps? Should I ask the staff to build a ramp for you? Hahaha, I bet they never thought someone in a wheelchair would come to such a high-end venue, hahaha..."
Cao Kang laughed arrogantly, as if trying to reclaim the two million yuan humiliation.
Ye Chui frowned, not expecting to be stopped by steps.
Fang Xi said coldly to Robert, "Let's carry Brother Ye up."
The two of them were about to move when a surprised voice suddenly sounded, "Whoa, isn't this Professor X? Professor X, are you here for the wedding too? You're my idol!"
The speaker was a uniformed security guard maintaining order at the venue.
For such a grand event, security was necessary, and there were quite a few guards.
With the first guard recognizing Ye Chui, others quickly gathered around.
"Didn't expect Professor X to come to the wedding. We love playing Street Fighter. We even bought an arcade machine together!"
"We’re die-hard fans. We've played all your games."
"Professor X, you need help with the steps? Let's carry you up!"
The enthusiastic guards lifted Ye Chui's wheelchair, carrying him smoothly up the steps.
Cao Kang: "..."
