Chapter 561 We Got Rich After Getting Married?
- Max chuckled before he assured them. “It’s correct, Ed and Wendy. It’s really a total of 18.73 million. This is just the cash I’m talking about; I haven’t included the other gifts that some people sent over. I made a list of all the gifts collected; there were quite a number of people who brought gold jewelry and such—it took about six boxes to fit everything inside. Wendy, perhaps you can take a look at these accessories soon. That way, you can keep those that you like and get rid of those that you don’t. Otherwise, having so much jewelry at home would be equivalent to inviting robbers into our house, and just keeping it around would be troublesome anyway.”
- Ed and Wendy were still shocked by what they just heard. “H-How did things turn out this way? Where did all these gifts come from? Why would people give us jewelry? T-That’s such an expensive gift!” Wendy commented.
- With a faint smile, Max explained, “Ed, Wendy, this is how things are done nowadays. Attending a wedding with just a cash offering would indicate that one only has a distant relationship with the couple, but sending in jewelry and accessories would show that one truly has a close relationship with them. Since almost everyone brought jewelries and other gifts over today, it means that all of them wish to form tight relationships with you. Even the amount of cash offerings were pretty much as expected. Master Burch alone had already contributed 888,888; the rest of them all paid a few hundred thousand each. Even without any contribution from your neighbors, we already have about 20 million. Furthermore, these people all received personal invitations from Master Tiger; some of them who hadn’t been invited didn’t even get to enter once they arrived. If everyone actually entered, we might have had up to 30 million here.”
