Chapter 2 - A New Dawn of Choices

"Damn it, Su Ming, are you looking to die?!"

Li Chao was utterly enraged. He grabbed a chair and charged at Su Ming from behind.

"Oh! So no one's paying your dowry, and now you're throwing a tantrum, huh? Come on, take a swing at me. Let's see if I don't end you today!"

As Su Ming was momentarily stunned, Gao Xiang's towering figure stepped in front of him.

Li Chao immediately halted, his expression shifting uneasily as he stared at Gao Xiang.

Honestly, with Gao Xiang standing at 1.82 meters tall and his muscular build, most people wouldn't dare to mess with him.

"Su Ming, you'll regret this!"

Seeing her brother intimidated, Li Na couldn't help but scream.

"Who's Su Ming? Your package, sign for it!"

Just as Su Ming was about to speak, a loud voice interrupted.

Everyone turned to see a delivery guy carrying a large box, walking in from the entrance.

The box was wrapped in a black courier bag, sealed with yellow tape, and looked incredibly heavy.

"Over here!"

Su Ming responded.

The delivery guy quickly brought the box over to Su Ming and gently set it down.

Taking the pen from the delivery guy, Su Ming swiftly signed his name.

"Bro, you're getting married today, right? This must be something for the wedding. Want me to help you open it?"

The delivery guy's service was top-notch.

"Sure, go ahead and open it!"

Su Ming nodded, eager to see if the system had truly delivered three million yuan.

"Hmph... no need to open something that'll just embarrass us. It's useless now anyway!"

Li Na coldly interjected.

"Keep opening it!"

Su Ming ignored her and spoke to the delivery guy.

The delivery guy nodded and quickly tore open the black courier bag, then ripped off the tape on the box.

He reached in and lifted the lid.

"Holy shit!"

The delivery guy's eyes widened, but lacking the words, he resorted to a classic exclamation to express his shock.

At the same time, all the guests in the room turned their attention to the box.

Immediately, everyone in the room seemed to lose their composure.

Inside the box, stacks of hundred-yuan bills were neatly arranged, each detail utterly mesmerizing.

Only Su Ming remained calm, having been mentally prepared for this.

Amidst the stunned gazes, Su Ming reached in and pulled out a stack.

'Swish, swish, swish!' He counted out three bills.

"Here, for your trouble!"

"Thanks, bro! Oh, no, thank you, boss! You're so generous, uh..."

The delivery guy excitedly accepted the cash, which was equivalent to two days' worth of his salary.

"Ming, is this... money?"

Gao Xiang finally regained his senses and asked in disbelief.

Su Ming nodded lightly. Even he found it hard to believe.

"How much is it?"

Before Su Ming could answer, the delivery guy spoke up.

"Each new bill weighs about 1.15 grams. A stack of ten thousand yuan, which is 100 bills, would weigh 115 grams."

"Based on my experience in delivering packages, including the courier bag and the box, this should weigh around seventy catties (about 35 kg)."

"At seventy catties, that's 35,000 grams. So, the total amount of cash here should be around three million yuan!"

"Bro, am I right?"

"Holy shit! With your skills, isn't delivering packages a waste of talent?"

This time, it was Su Ming who was shocked.

"I used to work as a senior accountant at a bank for two years, but I found it boring. I prefer freedom!"

"Shit, I still have a bunch of deliveries to make. Gotta go, bro!"

The delivery guy left like a gust of wind.

"What the hell kind of boredom, what the hell kind of freedom!"

Su Ming couldn't help but criticize as he watched the delivery guy leave.

"Did you hear that? Three million, it's three million!"

"Pfft, who knows if it's real!"

"Heh... poverty limits your imagination. Didn't you hear what the delivery guy said? He worked as a senior accountant at a bank for two years. Do you think he can't tell real money from fake?"

"The Li family has found themselves a rich man!"

"Rich man? What does that have to do with the Li family? Have you forgotten what just happened?"

Finally, everyone in the room realized what was going on.

"Ming, is this... yours?"

Gao Xiang snapped back to reality.

"If it's not mine, then whose is it? Never seen this much before, right? Here, hold it for a moment and help me carry it to the car."

"Got it!" Gao Xiang eagerly agreed, grinning as he lifted the box. Three million yuan, he had never seen so much money in his life.

"Everyone, let's go! We're heading to our place; we're not welcome here anymore!"

With a wave of his hand, Su Ming led the wedding party to leave.

"Wait, Su Ming!"

"You've got this much money, and you're not willing to part with a measly three hundred thousand?"

Li Chao shouted from behind.

"Tch!"

"Are you kidding me?"

Su Ming scoffed, not bothering to argue with this fool.

"Su Ming, Su Ming, wait!"

Li Na rushed forward, grabbing Su Ming's hand.

"Su Ming, is this a surprise for me? I'm sorry, I was wrong. Please forgive me."

"Right, yes! We're still getting married. Let's finish the ceremony. No, there's no time, let's go to your place directly."

Looking at Li Na, Su Ming sneered inwardly.

Where's your tough attitude now? Where's your strong stance?

Still thinking about getting married? Go marry whoever you want.

"Get lost! I already look down on you, don't make me feel disgusted!"

With a wave, Su Ming shook off Li Na.

"Aah! Su Ming!"

But Li Na screamed and fell to the ground, clutching Su Ming's ankles.

"Su Ming, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me, please! Marry me, marry me!"

"Su Ming, you can't be so heartless, can you? You love me, don't you?"

Li Na looked pitiful, almost too pitiful.

If it were anyone else, they might have softened.

But Su Ming felt no sympathy. The events earlier had shown him too much.

*Ding! Choice triggered!*

*Option 1: Kick Li Na away and leave. Reward: A Porsche 911 worth 3 million yuan.*

*Option 2: Forgive Li Na and continue the marriage. Reward: A green hat.*

Su Ming was taken aback.

Do I even need to choose?

"System, I choose option one!"

*Ding!*

"Choice successful. Reward issued. The car key is in your pocket, and the car is parked in the Jiangzhou Hotel parking lot. All documents are in the car's glove compartment."

"Please complete the chosen task as soon as possible. If you fail to comply, the system will revoke everything."
