Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 1990

Georgie Clementine and Henry Armstrong simultaneously took their phones to have a look.

The same content of a news article from Weibo appeared on their phones.

"Georgie Clementine's expensive betrothal gift."

Glancing at her fiance with a puzzled look, she clicked on the article to find a source, claiming to be her neighbor, had revealed a private matter on Weibo a while ago. This neighbor mentioned that Georgie's parents received 30,000,000 in cash as her betrothal gift and that her mother was the one who shared the news.

The article even posted a photo of the source, revealing the face of a woman whom Georgie recognized as a daughter of the family that lived opposite their unit.

It wasn't surprising at all that her mother had shared the news. Small town folks around her mother's age generally liked showing off anything related to their children. It was practically a hobby of theirs to boast about their children's accomplishments.

The news article already garnered over six-figure forwards, likes, and comments despite only being published a short while ago.

There was already a heated discussion ongoing in the comment section.

"30,000,000?! The Armstrong family sure is generous. I'm jealous."

"Hehe, are they selling their daughter? 30,000,000? Is she made of gold?"

"Just say that you're jealous. It's pointless anyway. The more jealous you are, the worse your life becomes."

"Georgie is such a strong woman. How is she not worth 30,000,000? Do you think a keyboard warrior like you is worth that much?"

"I'm never disappointed by other people's fiance."

"Every news related to Georgie for the past two days can only be described with one word: ridiculous."

"I don't want to type how jealous I feel anymore. How can someone be such a big winner in life?"

Georgie briefly skimmed through the comments before opening the list of hot topics to go through it.

Just as she expected, the news made it onto the third spot on the list of hot topics.

She could already guess what everybody was saying without even clicking on it, so she exited Weibo and resumed sipping her orange juice. Henry had also finished reading everything by then without much of an expression and interest.

Instead, he smiled at Georgie.

"Looks like my mother-in-law is genuinely happy about your

betrothal gift. It even made in vel.net

the list of hot topics."

If Georgie's mother was happy, he naturally felt the same, too.

Georgie instantly rolled her eyes at him when she heard this. "Watch your words. What do you mean by 'mother-in-law'? We aren't married yet."

"It's going to happen sooner or later, so I can already address her as such," he replied.

Georgie couldn't retort because it was true.

"Let's go to the grocery store and buy some ingredients. We can have hot pot at home with my in-laws. What do you think?" Henry asked.

"Or do you think we should take my in-laws out for dinner? Do you have any recommendations for any decent restaurants around here?" he added.

He was already getting used to addressing her parents as his in-laws.

"Let's have hot pot at home. My parents don't like dining out," Georgie stated.

"Why?"

"They think it's a waste of money. Aren't older folks generally like this?" she wondered.

He seemed surprised. "They have money now. They can spend it however they like. Besides, how is eating out a waste of money?"

She shook her head when she heard

this. "They've always had money but they're reluctant to spend it. It's a habit they can't change because

they always think about saving money for my sake.

"I've told them repeatedly that they don't have to worry about me. I'm already successful, but they just won't listen. They always tell me to save for a rainy day. I've talked t them about it far too many times, and I've gotten tired of doing so," she explained with a sigh,
