Chapter 1411
Julian’s Stand-In Wife
âIâm not asking you to return the debt with me! Iâm trying to make the numbers, and I might just be able to do that.â
Lulu analyzed the situation for Larry. âWeâve been together for so long. Do you think I know nothing about you? You bust your pay the moment you receive it! You might need to use your credit card for this monthâs living expenses. You even had to dig into the money your parents have been saving up for you just to buy a diamond ring for me! That was probably the last stash you have, right?
âWhere else are you going to get money from?
âLarry Webb, let me tell you this. Iâm getting married so that I can live a better life! I refuse to take on a single cent of debt!
âAs for your parents taking the initiative to move, thatâs them being sensible!
âOtherwise, I wouldnât marry a fatass like you!
âAs for the betrothal gift, 150,000 dollars! Nothing less!
âI must keep it for my brother to use when he gets married!â
The phone was on loudspeaker mode, and Larryâs parents somehow appeared right behind Larry.
Hearing Luluâs pushy tone over the phone, they looked awkward. âSonâ¦â
After Larry hung up, they gave him a bank card and said in a shaky voice, âWe have 150,000 dollars here. Take it and get married.â
They would think about their retirement another time.
Larry hesitated for a moment, then apologized and thanked his parents tearfully. âDad, Mom, thank you! You two will know just how great Lulu is after you get to know her!â
His parents said nothing and simply nodded, urging Larry with a smile to go find Lulu. He shouldnât keep her waiting.
Larry rushed out of the house to Luluâs place, but found that she wasnât in.
He called her. âWhere are you? My parents overheard our phone conversation and immediately gave me 150,000 dollars. Lulu, quick, come meet me. I have the money! Letâs get married right away!â
Lulu wasnât very happy upon hearing the news from Larry. In fact, she began hesitating. âThatâs not too good⦠I think Iâm still young, and I suddenly want to wait a while longerâ¦â
Lulu had the volatile, indecisive temperament of a young woman.
But given Larryâs standards, she was practically a goddess. Not only was his goddess willing to date him, but she was even willing to marry him. What else did he have to pick on?
Perhaps Lulu might change her mind tomorrow. Larry relented, and said, âSure. Weâll get married whenever youâre ready.â
âItâs not that I donât want toâ¦butâ¦â Luluâs voice sounded sickly sweet. âLarry, do you know? I never thought I could achieve so much success in my career. The moment I announced that I was getting married on social media, two of my old fans gave me lots of coins and gifts.â
One gift was easily worth 150 dollars. Together with coins, Lulu could easily earn thousands within a few minutes.
Not only thatâ¦
âMany people gave me coins and gifts, especially my two hardcore fans. One guy evenâ¦â
Larry said anxiously, âWhat? What did he do?â
Lulu chuckled.
âHaha⦠He said he wanted to propose to me! And he did exactly that. He bought airtime on the largest electronic billboard in Richburgh, and proposed to me with it. He even displayed my social media handle to drive traffic to it, and sent me 99,999 roses.
âAh, Larry! I feel so happy right now! Turns out that happiness really can be bought with money!â
Larryâs heart twisted in pain. âLuluâ¦â
His voice grew smaller, and the excitement he felt just moments ago all vanished. âDo youâ¦want to marry that man?â
âOf course not!â Lulu said immediately. âHe has a wife! Iâve already sent someone to check his background. Heâs just using money to lure me in.â
That was good.
Larry heaved a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, his goddess wasnât snatched away.
