Chapter 763: Chapter 763: Between a Rock and a Hard Place_1

Scorpion, whose real name was Li Tienan, was a well-known local hoodlum in Lu County. He was called Scorpion because he had a scorpion tattoo on his neck.

Speaking of which, it was people like Scorpion who led He Yunke astray into gambling and getting into trouble outside.

In the past, Xue Hongmei would never have allowed her son to associate with such hoodlums, but now her son needed to buy a house, pinning all his hopes on his daughter He Xiaohui.

If He Xiaohui left today and married into the Peng Family tomorrow, she would become their daughter-in-law. Then it wouldn’t be so easy to ask her for money.

She had no other choice but to let her son seek out Dog Brother.

"Hongmei, that Scorpion is not an ordinary person. With his appetite, I’m afraid two thousand yuan won’t be enough, right?"

While descending the stairs, He Gang furrowed his brows and said.

"If two thousand isn’t enough, make it five thousand!"

Xue Hongmei ground her teeth and said, "Today, we can’t just let Xiao Hui run away!"

"And that bastard surnamed Mo, if not for his meddling, my plan would have succeeded long ago!"

"That bastard definitely needs to be taught a lesson!"

He Gang suddenly understood why his wife had asked their son to call Dog Brother and even mentioned bringing weapons.

Indeed, that Mo fellow was quite skilled. If it really came to a fight, a few unarmed men might not be a match for the youngster.

Meanwhile, Mo Han had already driven the Mercedes G-Class down from the hallway ahead of everyone else.

Looking at the fierce, imposing Mercedes before her, He Xiaohui was momentarily surprised, "Ning... Ning’er, is this car yours?"

"Heh, of course not."

Luo Ning shook her head with a smile and said, "It’s borrowed by Mo Han from a friend. It’s the latest model of Mercedes G63, worth over 3 million yuan. How about that, not bad, right?"

Filled with gratitude, He Xiaohui began, "Ning’er, thank..."

"We’re good friends, you’re not allowed to say thank you."

Luo Ning quickly interrupted, "When I was in trouble before, you were the only one who offered to lend me money. I’ve always remembered that kindness!"

He Xiaohui’s eyes immediately turned moist. She wiped away her tears, choked up, unable to speak.

Having such a close friend in life was truly enough.

"All right, your big day is tomorrow, no crying," Luo Ning chuckled and said, "Let’s go find a hotel, oh and your wedding dress, have you prepared it?"

At the mention of the wedding dress, He Xiaohui suddenly remembered and hurriedly said, "Oh no, I had an appointment with the Romance Wedding Store this morning to pick up the dress, but I’ve missed the appointment time."

While she was speaking, the phone in her pocket rang, "Hello, is this Miss He? We are calling from Romance Wedding Store..."

"I know, I’m sorry, something delayed me at home, I’m in the car now, I’ll be there in half an hour."

To save expenses, He Xiaohui had found a wedding store a week prior, tried on a few dresses, picked one, and put down a three-hundred-yuan deposit to rent it, agreeing to pick it up at nine o’clock this morning.

But she hadn’t expected her parents and brother to start looking for her early in the morning, causing her to forget all about it.

"Miss He, please wait a moment and hear me out," The voice on the other end of the line hesitated, sounding somewhat embarrassed, "It’s like this, the dress you had your eye on was taken by another customer just moments ago due to an error made by my colleague."

"What?"

Hearing this, He Xiaohui panicked, "How could you give away the dress I reserved to someone else?"

"I’m getting married tomorrow!"

That dress, both in style and size, had suited her perfectly. It had taken her over a week to choose from more than a dozen options.

Now, just on the excuse of a colleague’s error, the dress was given away. How could she accept this!

"I am extremely sorry."

The voice on the phone was apologetic but sounded indifferent, "I have already transferred the deposit to your WeChat."

With that, the person hung up the phone, heedless of He Xiaohui’s feelings.

"Xiao Hui, what’s wrong?"

Luo Ning noticed her friend’s face turn pale and asked with concern.

He Xiaohui forced a smile and briefly explained the situation with the dress.

"How can that wedding store be so unprofessional?"

Luo Ning listened, seething with anger, frowning as she said, "How could they give away something you had reserved!"

"Let’s go! We’ll head to that Romance Wedding Store right now and demand an explanation!"

"Ning’er, forget it," He Xiaohui shook her head, resigned, "It’s my fault for not sticking to the schedule. If I had gone early in the morning, the dress wouldn’t have been taken."

"I’ll just visit another wedding store to look around. Hopefully, I’ll find something that fits; ideally, the price won’t exceed five hundred."

Now, she was no longer fixated on finding something beautiful; she just wanted something that fit, something of moderately good value.

The wedding dress should have been the most dazzling and beautiful garment a woman could wear, but to save a bit of money from the deposit, He Xiaohui had to compromise.

Luo Ning felt this was unfair and was quite upset. Her nose felt sour as she quietly sent a message to Mo Han sitting in the driver’s seat.

"Mo Han, check if there’s any decent wedding store nearby, I want to rent a dress for Xiao Hui."

Upon receiving the message, Mo Han sighed. Lu County wasn’t large; there weren’t any particularly good wedding stores around. If they really wanted to find a nice wedding store, they would have to go to Jiangnan City.

He hesitated for a moment, then replied:

"Ning’er, there’s nothing suitable here. Shall we go to Jiangnan City and take a look?"

Considering that her friend’s wedding ceremony was taking place tomorrow at the Fokun Grand Hotel in Jiangnan City and her family, with difficult parents and brother, was in Lu County, Luo Ning nodded, then pulled her friend to the car saying, "Xiao Hui, there’s nothing much in terms of wedding stores here. Let’s head to Jiangnan City and find a nice hotel while we’re at it."

If she was to help her friend get married in style, it naturally couldn’t be too shabby; they needed to find at least a four-star hotel.

"Okay."

He Xiaohui nodded. She didn’t want to stay in Lu County today; otherwise, if her parents and brother got wind of it, they would come looking for her again.

"Xiao Hui! You can’t go!"

Just as He Xiaohui was getting into the car, He Gang and Xue Hongmei ran out from the alley.

The two of them were in perfect sync, one standing with arms open in front of the car and the other blocking the rear, preventing the car from moving forward or backward, truly a predicament.
