I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 569 - 567: Did She Take the Wrong Medicine?
"What on earth is going on?" Zhu Xiaoyu’s head was spinning.
In his life, he basically had no relation to cars like Rolls-Royce, but now 99 Rolls-Royces were neatly arrayed in front of him, throwing him into a panic.
"Sir, are you sure you haven’t made a mistake? How could I afford to hire such a convoy?" Zhu Xiaoyu pointed to the cars behind him. "As you can see, the wedding car procession I managed to put together was sponsored by my comrades-in-arms and colleagues out of friendship. I couldn’t afford to hire a fleet of this caliber."
"Mr. Zhu, this fleet isn’t rented, but belongs to one of your friends, so you don’t need to pay," the attendant explained.
"My friend?" Zhu Xiaoyu was even more confused now. He had many friends, but none that he knew had struck it rich. Could it be that he missed something while working in the drug enforcement unit for these past few years?
"Mr. Zhu, your friend will arrive at the wedding venue later. You should go and pick up the bride first. The makeup artist and stylist we’ve arranged for you are already preparing in the hotel."
"Oh... okay..." he murmured.
"But..." Zhu Xiaoyu glanced again at his future mother-in-law, Wang Lijuan. He had just been told that if he didn’t have 50,000 yuan today, he shouldn’t think about stepping through the door. He really couldn’t get past this hurdle!
"Mom, about the money..."
"This fleet is his?" Wang Lijuan was dumbfounded.
She had thought it was a super-rich tycoon’s wedding procession, but it turned out to be for helping Zhu Xiaoyu pick up his bride. Wasn’t that too dreamlike?
"What’s all this talk about money? I was just joking earlier. Did you really take me seriously? Could I possibly keep my own son-in-law out?" By Wang Lijuan’s age, wasn’t it all about face?
Why did she reject Zhu Xiaoyu? It wasn’t because he was a cripple, but because of the poverty that his disability implied!
If Zhu Xiaoyu were a millionaire, it wouldn’t matter if he was disabled, an old man, divorced, or even with a child, Wang Lijuan would never have treated him with such an attitude.
Now, with a convoy worth billions here to pick up her daughter, who could boast such an honor?
From now on, everyone in the entire neighborhood, even the whole street, would know that when her daughter Wang Lijuan got married, the wedding procession consisted of 99 Rolls-Royces, and the grand fleet even blocked the streets of the neighborhood.
Even ten, twenty years later, this legend would be passed down to this generation. This wasn’t just about satisfying her vanity; it was practically a glory for the ancestors!
To drive away Zhu Xiaoyu now? Would she be an idiot to do so?
Even if Zhu Xiaoyu was still a disabled pauper, he had such friends, and their relationship was obviously significant. With just a little help from them, it would be as if one person gained the way to heaven, and even the chickens and dogs ascended with him. Wang Lijuan was very clear about such important connections!

With this thought, she immediately changed her demeanor to the opposite of how she had been when demanding money from Zhu Xiaoyu.
"Move aside, who dares to obstruct my son-in-law from coming up to fetch the bride?"
Wang Lijuan stood with her hands on her hips. "Everyone, move aside, don’t you see these are expensive Rolls-Royces worth millions? These are the wedding cars Zhu Xiaoyu is using to pick up Ye Wei. Can you afford to pay if you scratch or bump them?"
"Capture it, give these cars a close-up!" Wang Lijuan told the videographer, knowing that if she didn’t record this scene, she would regret it for life!
Zhu Xiaoyu was taken aback by Wang Lijuan’s sudden shift in attitude. Ever since he’d first met his future mother-in-law, she had never been so amiable toward him—calling him "son-in-law" so affectionately, it was as if she couldn’t wait to marry him off.
"Make way, make way!" Wang Lijuan shouted, "Our son-in-law is getting out of the car. He is a first-class merit military man who has sustained injuries and has trouble walking. If any of you cause him to trip or stumble, I won’t let you get away with it!"
Accompanied by his comrades, Zhu Xiaoyu approached the entrance of their apartment building. As per tradition, the bride’s family members were supposed to block the door, demanding drinks and red envelopes—none of that could be missed!
"Disperse already, don’t block our son-in-law from picking up the bride!" Wang Lijuan cleared the way like a warrior.
In fact, she had arranged for these people herself. Half an hour before, she had instructed them to definitely not let Zhu Xiaoyu go up easily, insisting they should at the very least extort a red envelope worth tens of thousands.
"Xiaoyu, your mother-in-law isn’t as scary as the rumors say!" Zhu Xiaoyu’s comrade-in-arms remarked as they watched Wang Lijuan’s bustling presence.
Others’ bridal sides would desperately block the path, refusing to let the groom in without getting their due. Their family, however, had the mother-in-law personally clearing the way, showing no mercy to anyone standing in her path. Some of them had been groomsmen more than once. Where had it ever been so easy? They had been fully prepared to be intoxicated by the bride’s relatives causing trouble at the wedding.
"Hehehe," faced with his friends’ questions, Zhu Xiaoyu could only laugh helplessly. This wasn’t about his mother-in-law being nice. If they saw Wang Lijuan’s true colors, they wouldn’t have these questions.
Obviously, it was the super luxurious top-level motorcade that had changed Wang Lijuan’s attitude.
Ninety-nine Rolls-Royces to pick up the bride, who else would have such grandeur at their wedding? Perhaps the media in Dongji City were already swarming in, ready to capture the footage. What a glorious honor this was!
Zhu Xiaoyu had no doubt that without this motorcade, Wang Lijuan would still be trying to extort the fifty-thousand entrance fee from him downstairs.
Now, he grew even more curious about which friend of his had such incredible resources. Even if these were rented, it would require tens of millions in deposits, and the middle-aged man had said the fleet wasn’t rented but belonged to a friend of his!
Who the hell buys ninety-nine Rolls-Royces at once? Does he own the Rolls-Royce company? Even the world’s richest person couldn’t do this, right?
Soon, the wedding procession arrived at the doorstep, but the door was tightly closed with only a QR code for payment pasted outside.
"Sssrip!"
Wang Lijuan tore off the payment code instantly, "Open the door, whoever dares to block my son-in-law will answer to me, open it now!"
A bridesmaid in her dress timidly popped her head out, "Auntie, wasn’t it you who told us to block the door?"
"Nonsense, when did I ever say that?" Wang Lijuan didn’t even blush as she denied it, "Hurry up and let my son-in-law in. If you cause any delay, see if I don’t deal with you later!"
Ye Wei, who was in the room, had been worried about Zhu Xiaoyu all morning. She knew her mother’s character better than anyone. Once Wang Lijuan had set her mind on something, nobody could change it, not even Ye Wei’s father had any say.
She had made up her mind that if Wang Lijuan really made things difficult for Zhu Xiaoyu, she would just elope with him. After all, they already had a child, there was nothing to hesitate about.
Hearing the commotion outside, Ye Wei quickly sat up from the bed.
"Click!" The door was pushed open, and to her surprise, standing in the doorway was Zhu Xiaoyu with a bouquet in his hands.
What’s going on? That morning she had overheard her mother and the bridesmaids plotting that without fifty thousand yuan, they absolutely wouldn’t let Zhu Xiaoyu through the door.
Of course, she knew about Zhu Xiaoyu’s financial situation. Buying a house, the wedding shoot, arranging the banquet, it was already impressive that he could come up with five thousand yuan, let alone fifty thousand. For that amount, he’d probably have to sell a kidney.
Then something even more outrageous happened; Wang Lijuan was affectionately patting Zhu Xiaoyu on the shoulder, inquiring about his well-being.
"Xiaoyu, did you wake up early this morning? You’ve worked hard!"
"And to all the groomsmen, you’ve all worked hard, too. These gifts are for you, please don’t be shy!"
This version of Wang Lijuan, even her own daughter Ye Wei had never seen before. What’s going on with her? Did she take the wrong medicine today?
