Chen Jie frowned, "What do you mean?"
"The marriage pact your master made with our Zhang and Yang families was for both of us to marry you simultaneously, and we have no right to break the engagement!" Zhang Xinyan said.
What?
Everyone was aghast.
Two women marrying Chen Jie at the same time?
And they had agreed to it?
Wang Xiaoyan's face turned pale.
Marrying two women at once was double the joy.
Even though she was outstanding, she didn't think any man could resist the temptation of having two women.
Yang Siqing added, "So, regardless of whether you are married or not! We will marry you!"
"Therefore, before you marry Wang Xiaoyan, you'd better think twice, at least, let her accept us first!"
Wang Xiaoyan immediately shook her head.
Accept them? How could that be possible!
She didn't want to serve the same man as other women.
Chen Jie finally realized that the conditions of his ten marriage pacts were not all the same.
He had initially assumed all ten pacts were identical, but now he saw how different reality was from his expectations.
"You cannot break the engagement, but I can!" Chen Jie quickly caught the loophole in their words and said.
"That's right, but do you know what you'll have to pay?" Zhang Xinyan smiled.
"Pay what?" Chen Jie asked curiously.
At this moment, Yang Siqing proactively said, "It's very unfair for us two young ladies to marry you simultaneously, so your master naturally gave us extremely enticing conditions! The engagement is not something you can just break off as you please."
"If you break the engagement, the condition is that you must pay our families property equivalent to twice the assets of our families!"
"So, tell us, do you want to have both beauty and wealth, or do you want to lose everything and pay a heavy price to break the engagement?"
Everyone was shocked.
This was a situation where he had no choice but to marry them.
After all, although the Zhang and Yang families were not top-tier in Pingcheng, they were at least worth nearly ten billion.
This meant that if Chen Jie wanted to break the engagement, he would have to compensate each family with twenty billion yuan as a break-up fee!
What was the point of breaking it off?
It was better to marry both of them and have two beauties.
"I refuse!" Wang Xiaoyan said.
She looked at Chen Jie excitedly, "Chen Jie, if you break the engagement, I'll help you pay off the debt, okay? Don't leave me!"
"Xiaoyan, how can I let you help me repay debt?" Chen Jie said with a wry smile.
Chen Jie couldn't help but curse his master in his heart.
Wasn't this setting up his disciple?
Wang Xiaoyan thought Chen Jie had already made his choice and became extremely anxious.
She quickly said excitedly, "Are you going to marry them? I'm serious, I'm willing to help you repay the debt! And, I, as long as you marry me, I promise to let you find another one! But she'll have to pass my evaluation!"
Boom!
Wang Xiaoyan's words immediately caused a stir among everyone present.
For Chen Jie, she was not only willing to share the enormous debt but also agreed to let Chen Jie marry another woman.
What kind of charm did Chen Jie possess that made Wang Xiaoyan willing to pay such a price to have him?
Chen Jie held her hand and said, "Xiaoyan, you've misunderstood me. I don't need you to help me repay the debt, nor will I marry them! Nor will I look for another one."
After speaking, Chen Jie looked at Yang Siqing and Zhang Xinyan and said, "Alright, I agree. I will give both of your families twice the property! But I can only promise to give you the money within a year. If you have any other demands, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The two marriage pacts meant forty billion, which was an impossible feat for ordinary people to achieve in tens of lifetimes.
But for Chen Jie, it was not difficult.
Zhang Xinyan and Yang Siqing were both stunned.
Before they came, they were worried that Chen Jie would actually choose to marry them both.
If Chen Jie really did that, then they would have to fulfill their promise.
But to their surprise, Chen Jie remained unmoved even after seeing their stunning beauty.
While achieving their goal, they also felt a sense of defeat.
Clap, clap, clap...
This emotion flashed through their minds for only a moment, and then the two women applauded simultaneously.
They looked at Chen Jie with admiration, "As expected of your master's disciple, to be able to give up such great benefits."
Saying that, the two women took out a document from their pockets and handed it to Chen Jie.
"Sign this contract, and we'll leave. In a year, just give us twenty billion each."
As expected, they were ultimately here for the money.
Chen Jie pondered.
They had probably predicted that he would break the engagement with them, and the numbers on the document could even be negotiated.
However, Chen Jie didn't say much and immediately signed it with a few swift strokes.
The two women took the contract and said with satisfaction, "Now, who you marry is none of our business."
"Farewell!"
"Don't bother," Chen Jie waved his hand.
He had a headache. If his master hadn't taken his gold mine, he could have given them the money right now.
Now, he had to start all over again.
"Uncle Wang, Uncle Jiang, let's continue," Chen Jie said to the two men.
Wang Fa looked embarrassed.
He hesitated and said, "Chen Jie, originally I was very supportive of your marriage to my daughter, but now, you owe forty billion, I'm afraid..."
"Dad, what are you talking about? Chen Jie is doing all this for me! How can you refuse!" Wang Xiaoyan exclaimed.
Qiu Feng rebuked, "Xiaoyan, don't talk nonsense, listen to your father!"
"I won't! I will marry Chen Jie! If you stop me, I'll elope with him!" Wang Xiaoyan said angrily.
"Shut up!" Wang Fa shouted.
Then, Wang Fa looked at Chen Jie, "Chen Jie, this is what I think, marrying my daughter is not impossible, but you owe so much money, I'm afraid..."
Chen Jie's expression turned cold.
He looked at Wang Fa, "Uncle Wang, what makes you think you can refuse this marriage?"
Wang Fa was stunned, then his face darkened, "What did you say?"
"I said, you cannot refuse this marriage! Your say doesn't count! To put it more clearly, my coming to propose to you was out of politeness. If you continue to find excuses to refuse, then I won't need your permission! Do you think you can stop me?"
The hall fell silent.
Jiang Long's heart pounded.
He was almost shocked to death.
Chen Jie actually didn't even regard his future father-in-law with much respect.
He even dared to threaten him.
So domineering!
Jiang Xue also looked at Chen Jie with a complex expression.
She thought that Chen Jie's marriage to Wang Xiaoyan would be delayed again.
Was this man always so overbearing, no matter when?
Chen Jie stared at Wang Fa, "Let me be clear, what I, Chen Jie, desire, I must obtain. Let alone you, even Xiaoyan herself has no right to refuse!"
"You wouldn't want me to use the methods of a spoiled young master and forcibly marry a commoner, would you?"
Wang Xiaoyan's body trembled.
For an ordinary woman, Chen Jie's words would surely have made her furious, and she might have broken up with him on the spot.
But, love makes the blind see. At this moment, Wang Xiaoyan only felt that Chen Jie was incredibly handsome.
She even hoped that Chen Jie would just forcibly take her away.
