Upon hearing his words, Ye Xuan's lips curled into a mocking smile, and he retorted coldly, "The matter hasn't even been settled yet, and you're already jumping to say all this. Are you worried I can't afford the bride price? Isn't this a bit too money-minded?"
As soon as these words fell, the crowd immediately erupted with echoes of agreement.
"Exactly, you shameless fatso, saying that isn't decent at all. Who is Ye Xuan? With his status, he wouldn't lack the bride price for us, right?"
Someone immediately reprimanded the fat man while suitably flattering Ye Xuan.
It may seem like praise, but it was essentially putting him on a pedestal — it would be embarrassing not to give the Liu family the bride price with this public face.
