Chapter 375

I started to get worked up. Surprisingly, my mother was not infuriated and sounded unusually patient.
Even so, I had foreseen something similar would blurt out from her mouth before that.

“How much do you think I need to top up?” I cut to the chase.

Even though I could not resist disliking Steven's girlfriend, it was pointless to say anything as the
wedding date had already been fixed. Thus, I made up my mind to give him a hand. After all, I
presumed they would not have to spend a lot since the wedding would be held back home. I believe it
would be more than enough if I topped up with the money in my account.

“I think around seven hundred thousand,” my mother answered from the other side of the line.

The moment I heard the figure, I thought I was hearing things!

Dumbstruck, I raised my voice uncontrollably. “Seven hundred thousand? Mom, are you pulling my
leg? What kind of luxurious wedding are you planning to hold for Steven? How is it possible for a
simple wedding to cost around seven hundred thousand?”

By right, two hundred thousand was already more than enough to cover the expenses for a wedding in
the village. It never came to my mind that my mother would request such a large sum.

“It's not only for the expenses of the wedding. We need the money to buy a new car too,” she replied
sheepishly. It seemed she felt she had requested a bit too much too.

“Money to buy a car? If the wedding costs one hundred thousand, do you need six hundred thousand
just to buy a new car?” I questioned her right away.



My frown creased into a scowl as a surge of fury started to well up from within me. Whenever my
mother requested me to support them financially, it was always a large sum. No doubt, I should be filial
to her; yet, her request was way beyond my ability.

Oh my! How am I going to get her seven hundred thousand within such a short span of time? Should I
seek help from Michael again? Does it make sense for him to bear all the expenses for my family after
marrying me?

“Steven's girlfriend likes a car that costs more than five hundred thousand, but how can we afford to
buy it? Anyway, we're already grateful as she doesn't insist Steven on buying a house. But we fear that
she'll break up with him if we can't buy her a car!” my mother whined.

“Pfft! A car that costs more than five hundred thousand? Who does she think she is? How dare she
requests to have such a costly car! How about her family? Are they giving her anything as dowry?” I
snorted.

Temper flaring, I could barely wait to meet Steven's girlfriend. My goodness! What type of woman is
she? How could she have the audacity to request a car that costs more than five hundred thousand?

“Anna, I understand that we're requesting a bit too much this round. But if she breaks up with Steven
just because of a money issue, don't you think it is not worth it?” Sensing my reluctance, my mother
was obviously trying to talk me into helping them.

“I don't have so much money. Where can I obtain seven hundred thousand? Mom, why are you putting
me in a tight spot?” I could not help but let out a deep sigh.



Deep down, I knew she hoped I could help obtain money from Michael. However, I did not wish to
request money from him again for the sake of my family.

“Anna, can't you help your brother again this round? After all, the wedding is one of the most important
moments in his life. Do you have the heart to see him break up with her girlfriend?” my mother started
to persuade me.

Needless to say, I also wished that Steven would have an ideal girlfriend and later embark on his new
journey via marriage. As his sister, I would surely lend him a hand if he was short of money for his
wedding. But how could I help him for such an absurd reason?

“Mom, since there's still one month to go before the wedding, let's talk about this again a few days later.
If there's time, I wish to meet Steven's girlfriend first. They're already in a relationship for quite a few
months, but I haven't even met her before!” I said wittingly.

I did not make my promise or reject it right away. At the moment, I was curious to find out what type of
a person Steven's girlfriend was.

“All right! I'll ask Steven to make time to meet you with his girlfriend. Please serve her well, okay?” my
mother reminded me eagerly. Since I did not turn her down, I presumed she must have seen a ray of
hope.

Even so, I only responded placidly before hanging up. Even though I had not yet met Steven's
girlfriend, my gut instinct told me that she might be the type of woman good at playing mind games.

As a result, I could not resist sinking into deep thought after the phone conversation with my mother. I
could not fathom why they did not sense anything awry about Steven's girlfriend. Don't they feel that



she doesn't suit him?

My parents were not irrational people who acted impulsively. However, they tended to be swayed by
emotions whenever it was anything related to Steven. That was exactly what happened again this
round.

When Michael came back at night, he was astounded to see me low in spirits while seated on the
couch. Sensing something amiss, he walked toward me and sat next to me.

Wrapping his arms around me, he gazed at me and asked gently, “What's wrong? Is anything bothering
you?”

I threw him a glance and remained silent. After quite a while, I finally broke the silence by pouring out to
him about my mother's words earlier. Nonetheless, I kept mum from him about her request to borrow
money. Even though we were husband and wife, I felt bad to keep on asking for money from him.

Michael knitted his brows after hearing what I said. There was an instant flicker of frigidness in his
eyes.

Moments later, he seemed to have regained his composure. He looked at me again and asked placidly,
“What do you plan to do?”

I shook my head. “For the time being, I have no idea. I feel like meeting the girl first.”

It's inappropriate for me to jump to a hasty conclusion without meeting Steven's girlfriend. Thus, I
decided to meet her first.



“I'll accompany you then,” Michael uttered gently as he tightened his arms around me.

“Okay!” I gladly replied.

Undoubtedly, Michael had a clearer insight into everything. I was convinced that he would be able to
judge whether the girl suited Steven if he accompanied me to meet her.

A few days later, Steven called me and mentioned that he had made time for her girlfriend to meet me.
As it was my first meet-up with her, I told myself to put up a good show regardless of anything. Initially, I
planned to choose a nice hotel. Somehow, Michael made a reservation at a five-star restaurant.

I disagreed with him for making such a decision. In my opinion, it was not worth it to spend on that as
though we were showing off that we were filthy rich. Not to mention, we were still clueless about what
type of person Steven's girlfriend was.

Nevertheless, Michael tried to convince me that there was a reason for him to do so. Even though I
could not wrap my head around his stance, I had no choice but to give in to him.

On the day, we reached the restaurant almost twenty minutes earlier. Steven was quite punctual as
well. Shortly after, he showed up with his girlfriend.

Tall and slender, she was decked out in designer brands from top to toe. As she was wearing
exceptionally heavy makeup, I could not even make out how she actually looked.

“Yvette, this is Anna, my sister. He's Michael, my brother-in-law,” Steven introduced us to her blissfully.
