Ch. 2111..2120

Chapter 2111 However, such a family had never given him any opportunities as well. Vireo had to pour his own blood, sweat, and tears into obtaining everything he wanted. If that was not a man from a lowly background who had to earn his place with his might and main, then what was it? If he was labeled as that, then so be it.

Vireo was originally an illegitimate child who did not even know his own name, to begin with, so being given the title of a diligent man from a lowly background was already a compliment to him.

Within a blink of an eye, Vireo had already accepted being called a man from a lowly background by Mira, and he had also already accepted the fact that Mira was here looking for him to give him an opportunity because he had no other way out anymore. When he turned his head back, the hostility on him had vanished. What was left in him was a dispirited sense and also helplessness.

He looked at his future father-in-law, Phil, with a helpless smile. " I am so sorry, Mister Turner. I was rude just now. The Heartland Hospital is very famous in the provincial capital, and I have long heard of your good name as well. It was just that when I was stitching your daughter's wound, I had no idea that she was the only daughter of the Heartland Hospital. Please pardon me for my impertinence. If, and I am only saying if, Mister Turner is willing to give me an opportunity, then I am willing to be at your service for the rest of my life."

Phil’s impression of Vireo was already very poor, and when he saw Vireo's attitude changing so quickly, his impression of Vireo got even worse. Phil sneered. "The way you act is just like a chameleon!

II "Thank you," Vireo replied. Phil was speechless.

"If you're willing to give me an opportunity, I will be at your service for the rest of my life, I will never ever...return to this place.

II What he said, to put it bluntly, was not actually meant for Phil's ears. He was actually saying that to his parents. His parents had raised him, but they had actually just raised him from his childhood to high school. Through his entire college years, he had been providing for himself and was self-sufficient in his basic needs. Not only that, but he also saved up some money.

That was not all. In the past couple of years, not only had he been paying his family rent at a rate higher than others, but just the money that he had earned and spent on the house to purchase all sorts of things alone had cost him half a million dollars. He was a young doctor and his clinic had only been in business for two years. All of the savings he had on him had been taken out to support his parents.

He did not value money at all. He has the skills to practice medicine, so he was never afraid that he could not make money. He only wanted to protect the affection between him and his family. Just a sense of love between him and his family. That was all!

However, what happened in the end? The entire family joined hands to beat him up. All of his sisters' husbands pinned him to the ground to hit him. At that moment, if he had not fought back, he might have been crippled by them. Therefore, he fought back. 1 When vireo fought back and ripped the hands of his brothers-in law, it had already crossed his mind that he could no longer stay in the Payne family anymore, since he could no longer stay anymore and since there was an opportunity in the provincial capital, he certainly had to make his stance clear to his adoptive parents. He was never going to return anymore for the rest of his life. All the kindness that he could have repaid his adoptive parents had already been settled. He simply was going to make a clean break with his adoptive parents that day.

After saying those words, vireo did not care about how shocked Phil was, but he just turned his head back to look at his adoptive parents. "Dad, Mom? Let me address you like this one last time. Today is the day that I have been released from prison, and it's also the day I am reborn. From now on, we don't owe each other anything anymore. From now on, we will no longer have a parent child relationship anymore. From now on, I have absolutely nothing to do with the Payne family anymore!"

His words were spoken with ruthless resolution and calmness, which made his adoptive parents dumbfounded.

Initially, his adoptive parents had come out of the house as they wanted to criticize Vireo so that he would steadfastly work for the Payne family and care for the four elderly people in the family.

They wanted to make him obedient. However, they did not expect that his son, whom they had raised since childhood, was actually here to sever their parent-child relationship.

Lucius simply thought that he had heard it wrong. His voice was trembling and he almost cried. "Son, you...what did you say?

Say it again!"

Once again, vireo calmly emphasized. "I am here to sever the parent-child relationship between US. From now on, we're strangers."

As soon as vireo finished his words, he heard his mother suddenly shout in tears, "You...you rebellious thing. You have no conscience at all. You should be struck by lightning!"

Chapter 2112 Not only did such a miserable cry shock Phil and his daughter, but it even attracted the neighbors.

Vireo's mother cried incomparably miserably as she sat on the ground and slapped her legs. "Has it been easy for me to bring you up since you were a baby? I did not even have any breast milk, but I still let you chew on it, so much so that I was trembling in pain from being bitten by you. You're one without a conscience.

"I had raised you with such difficulty since you were a baby. When you had a fever at night, I was unable to sleep the whole night.

I originally was a person without bags under my eyes. However, for the sake of raising you, the bags under my eyes had formed.

Now that you've become a fully independent and capable adult, you want to cut connections with me?"

His mother was weeping, vireo also did not feel good either, which part of the kindness shown to him by the Payne family for raising him had he forgotten? How desperate was he for affection? If the Payne family was not so heartless, he would have given his everything to the family, even if that included his life. He liked that he could be a surgeon in the big city. However, if the Payne family would have reached out to him with affection, it would not have mattered to him if he did not go.

Nobody knew that vireo did not care about anything at all. He just wanted affection from his family. He only wanted the family's affection. Was that wish of his too much? who could give him the affection of a family?

Watching his mother cry, vireo also had tears welled up in his eyes. However, his expression was still very resolute. When Phil looked at Vireo in that state, he shook his head hard.

While shaking his head, he said to Mira, "Look at him. See for yourself. He is such a heartless man, who could even abandon his parents, and yet, you actually still like this man?"

Mira was dumbfounded as well. She did not dare to believe that the man she liked was actually so heartless.

"Doctor Payne, you..." At that moment, Mira was very disappointed.

vireo raised his eyebrows. "What's the matter with me? Do you still like me? Do you still want to marry me? It's not too late for you to go back on your decision now! It would already be too late for you to regret your decision when the day that I, an ungrateful jerk, a man married above my station, and a shameless thing, had stolen all of your family's properties!" 1 "You...would you steal my family's properties?" Mira absolutely would not believe that the doctor, who had bandaged her wounds, carefully and gently reminded her not to get it wet, not to have spicy foods, not to have any foods with added coloring, or she would have a scar, would be such a wicked and vicious person.

However, she heard Vireo say very calmly and miserably, "Yes!"

Mira was speechless.

"Because that is how people on the outside, even my parents and everyone else, had seen and imagined me to be, isn't it?"

Vireo's sorrowful voices unexpectedly had a tinge of a firmly relaxed attitude. 1 "Since all of you have already thought of me like this no matter what, then why can't I exercise my right as an ungrateful jerk and a man who aspires to marry above my station?" while saying that, Vireo looked at his parents, "So, I am simply an ungrateful jerk and I have no conscience! I simply just want to sever all ties with you!"

He then looked at Mira again. "I am simply a man who aspires to marry above my station. I just want to snatch away your family's properties, and then dump you! So, what? Do you want to marry me? Come on then!"

To everyone's surprise, after vireo said that, Mira suddenly cried even harder. Crying, she said with determination, "Yes!"

"What did you say?"

"I said I want to marry you! I just want to marry you!"

Vireo was speechless. He was so exasperated that he almost laughed.

After a while, he said miserably, "Sure, of course, I have no problem with it!"

When a person was dispirited beyond measure, he practically was very open to all possibilities. He did not consider any consequences at all. He just did not expect that his self-destructive answer attracted Mira even more.

Mira seemed to have suddenly understood the pains of his life and she jumped into his arms. "Doctor Payne, don't be like this.

Don't be sad. You'll have me with you in the future and that'll be enough. I will love you and I will care for you. I will not let you be lonely again."

Chapter 2113 "You will never be lonely again in the future. You'll also never be so passive anymore. I know that everyone has misunderstood you and they don't know you, right? I know and I understand everything. Don't worry. If you follow me to the provincial capital, there'll certainly be room for you to shine. You won't be relying on anybody because you are a capable person yourself, and you will be the best surgeon!"

Mira said it so beautifully and emotionally, she had given him so much warmth. Perhaps Vireo had no idea who Mira was before that, even though he had bandaged her wounds for her, but at that moment, vireo had committed Mira to his memory. Mira, on the other hand, had also opened up Vireo's heart.

Not only that, but Mira even turned around and looked at vireo's parents and said very gently and sensibly, "You're Doctor Payne's parents. In the future, after I've married Doctor Payne, you'll be my parents-in-law, so I will care for both of you like the best daughter-in-law in the whole wide world. I will certainly keep my words. Don't worry."

Both of vireo's parents were speechless. They were considered the most important and powerful people in the small county.

However, when they were in front of the owner of the hospital at the provincial capital and his daughter, both Lucius and his wife appeared to be very timid and not presentable. They truly were no different from country bumpkins. Also, they were fond of being a relative by marriage with such powerful people.

Lucius and his wife stammered for a very long time not knowing what to say. They were afraid that they would say something wrong, and they were also afraid that they would not be able to hold a conversation with the great business owner who came from the provincial county. They originally wanted to discipline their son, but at that moment, they became anxious instead.

Lucius, in particular, said to Vireo, "Vireo! You d*mned child! The young lady is so nice to you, but you put on airs instead! what do you want to do? You can't be as bad as you were in the past anymore! You simply have been spoiled by us! You're spoiled by US, do you know that? Apologize to Miss Turner immediately!"

"It's fine, Mister and Missus Payne." Mira was unexpectedly good at smoothing things over for Vireo. "A capable and talented person is usually so arrogant. I don't blame him for that. If he is not arrogant, I wouldn't have loved him."

Vireo's parents were speechless. At that moment, the neighbors who had gathered around were all sighing greatly.

"Well, I've noticed that something great is going to happen to the Payne family."

"They have a lifetime of luck!"

"Although the Payne family had no sons and they were considered a family with no descendants, their adopted son is unexpectedly so ambitious."

"Well, when it's their luck, nothing can stop it."

Some of the Payne family's rivals, who were standing slightly further away and were waiting to see the fall of the Payne family, could not help but smile in a disheartened manner. "I've finally figured it out that these few decades is the moment for the Payne family to thrive. No matter how we play tricks on them behind their backs, the Payne family just would not fall. Look at this.

We've already driven such a wedge in between them, and yet, the more they fight the more they thrive. Well, I've got to hand it to them!"

One after another, the neighbors who had gathered around left.

The situation unexpectedly turned out in a way where everyone in the Payne family was happy and satisfied. The only person among them who was secretly upset was Mira's father. He truly did not like this son-in-law at all. After all, it was his daughter who was too willful. However, Phil had never let his daughter be unhappy in this life. As long as it was something that his daughter wanted, Phil would find a way to let her have it.

Phil had also thought about it. If worse comes to worst, he would just get this son-in-law of his, whom he was unsatisfied with, to the provincial capital, he would then keep an eye on him at all times and let him be a kept man for life. As long as his daughter is happy, Phil was still able to support a man for nothing. However, what Phil had never expected is that his idea of only supporting Vireo alone was clearly unrealistic. 1 That afternoon, when both Phil and his daughter sat at a table with the Payne family to formally get to know each other, all three of Vireo's sisters came as soon as they heard the news. Once they entered the door of the private room at the restaurant, Vireo's eldest sister, Chloe, said loudly, "Dad, don't forget to ask the Turner family for gifts. The Turner family has plenty of money!"

Chapter 2114 The eldest daughter of the Payne family, Chloe, had a very sonorous voice, and it also had a prideful tone. Chloe was dressed in bejeweled and luxurious clothing. In a general sense, she was considered a woman from the high society of the small county. Her husband's family owned a bathhouse and it was able to fetch them around two thousand dollars in income every day. In a month, the bathhouse was able to generate an income of sixty thousand dollars. Chloe was working in a cotton mill herself, so she was considered to be a worker with a stable income.

Not only that, but Chloe also had two stores that her own family had given her when she got married. Those two stores were also able to fetch Chloe a few thousand dollars of income every month. Therefore, Chloe had always been living comfortably like a wealthy woman in the small county.

When fur coats were fashionable in the county, she was willing to spend a few thousand dollars to buy fur coats to wear, when it was trendy among the women in the county to have microblading done on their eyebrows, she also would keep up with the trend and have the procedure done. Therefore, although Chloe was already almost 36 years old, she was still exuding the charm of a young lady, so much so that she appeared to be much younger and prettier than the young girls from the small county.

Not only Chloe like that, but the other two daughters of the Payne family, Ashnah and Abigail, were the same as well.

All three sisters had two stores each, so they had an income of more than a few thousand dollars every month. All three of them also had stable jobs and they all married prominent businessmen in the county. The three sisters were simply the three proud and beautiful women of the county. However, the three sisters were not that educated.

It was not because their parents were unwilling to send the three sisters to school. It was truly because the three of them had been living very well growing up, so they had countless friends surrounding them and fawning over them. So much so that when the three sisters got into middle school, they were notorious bullies in their school. There were also quite a number of unemployed young men who were very fond of the three sisters. On top of that, the three sisters grades were not too good, to begin with, and their parents were always spoiling them, so they started dating at a young 1 age when they were in middle school. All sorts of factors combined had led to the three sisters dropping out of middle school. That was the reason why the three sisters seemed glamorous on the surface, but each of them was uncultured and old -fashioned to their bones. 2 However, it would forever be impossible for the three sisters to face their weaknesses head-on. On the contrary, they would exhaust all ideas to cover it up and pretend that they were deeply knowledgeable and had high standards just like they acted at that moment.

The news that the daughter of the owner of a big hospital in the provincial capital had taken a fancy of the Payne family's adopted son and wanted to marry him had spread to every corner of the county within an hour. Naturally, the three sisters also knew about this news. The three of them were staying nearby, and all three of their houses were within five kilometers from one another.

Therefore, once the three sisters heard the news, they agreed to meet up as they intended to have a discussion together. Just within 15 minutes, all three of them got together.

"Don't think that I don't know what that woman had in her mind!" Chloe, the eldest sister, was the first to speak up.

"Chloe, analyze and see," Ashnah, the second sister, said immediately.

The third sister, Abigail, was very obedient to her eldest sisters. " Go ahead, Chloe."

"Our brother is not close to our family, but he is a talented person. Think about it. He is from a small county, but he managed to get into the top medical school in South City, which is the best medical school in the entire country. Also, when he graduated, he was already a very skilled surgeon. Even if it's in the big city, it's very rare to see such achievements, let alone a small county like ours. The Turner family has a hospital, so of course, they would not agree to a losing proposition. It is also not good for the only daughter of the Turner family, which had such a huge family and business, to find a partner in the city that matches their family's status. Because what if that person doesn't run a hospital?

Therefore, it's better to find a man like our brother, who comes from a decent family, is extremely talented, and has great skills and knowledge. Also, our brother is more than one hundred and eighty meters tall and he is handsome. It wouldn't even be accurate to say that he is one in a million. Our brother should be one in a billion. It's a gain for the Turner family to have our brother. Also, judging by the Turner family's tone, they are not marrying off their daughter.

They are not marrying their daughter into our Payne family. They are just getting married. It's not who is marrying into whose family, but they are simply getting married!"

Chapter 2115 "It's already putting it very nicely to say that they are getting married. They are letting our brother go to the provincial capital to develop his career in their family and also to keep up appearances for their family! He is a child raised by the Payne family, so why should we let the Turner family have the bargain!"

What Chloe had said instantly struck a chord with Ashnah and Abigail. All three of them had the same thought.

Although their brother was adopted and the Payne family would never give the stores to their adopted brother, they had raised him. It was all the Payne family's credit for raising him into such an outstanding person. They could not just simply give his credit to the Turner family for nothing, so the Turner family had to give them gifts, and it must be a hefty price. That was because a talented person, the top talent in the country, was priceless!

When the three sisters were passionately discussing it in private, they even raised the net worth of their brother to as high as ten million dollars. The third sister, Abigail, was the most straightforward. "I'm guessing that the Turner family from the provincial capital had a net worth of a few billion, so it's already a bargain for them that we're just asking for ten million dollars as a gift, right? Look at how much their daughter fancied our brother? If it weren't for our brother, I suspect that the woman would have turned into a person with emophilia. Therefore, for the sake of letting their daughter have a good man, ten million dollars shouldn't be a problem to them."

"That's right!" Ashnah, the second sister, said in agreement.

After the three sisters had a discussion in private, they came together to their parents' house. When they arrived, they heard from their grandparents that their parents and brother had already gone to the best restaurant in the county, which was in The Grand Julius Hotel, to have a meal.

The Grand Julius Hotel! That was the top-notch hotel in the county. It was said that it was as good as the hotels in the big cities. It would cost more than ten thousand dollars to have a good meal at The Grand Julius Hotel.

"Who...who's paying?" Chloe asked her grandparents.

"It's Mira, right? Her name is Mira, right?" her grandmother asked her grandfather with a smile.

The grandfather grinned from ear to ear. "Yes, her name is Mira. Oh, that child is truly enthusiastic. When she called me grandpa, it was more lovely than when Vireo did it. That's good. It's truly great. I like this granddaughter-in-law. she had said that she will be coming back to visit US every month in the future, and she will never leave us behind. Hey, dear, take out that bracelet and let me have a look again. What did our granddaughter-in-law say? It's studded with diamonds? The bracelet costs tens of thousands of dollars, does it? Now that our granddaughters are here, quickly show it to them and let them see if it's real. Our granddaughters have discerning eyes for it."

What he had said made his three granddaughters dumbfounded. Abigail, in particular, had her mouth agape. "It had only been such a short time, and that woman had already given you a gift? It seems like she truly is hell-bent on marrying our brother."

There was a pause before she looked at both of her sisters. "Chloe and Ashnah, we have to go and remind our parents now. They are soft-hearted. They might not mention any conditions when the time comes. I can tell that this woman truly cherishes our brother very much. Even if we asked them for a mountain of gold or silver, they will give it to us!" 1 "Let's hurry!"

"Let's go!"

The three sisters then ran to The Grand Julius Hotel in a hurry. It was as if they were afraid that if they were to arrive a second later, their parents would have agreed to their brother's marriage without any conditions.

When they arrived at the place, they did not even knock on the door, and they directly barged in. After all, they still had some manners, and the three sisters knew that the situation would be best controlled if the eldest sister was the one to bring up such a matter. Therefore, when it was time to ask for the gift, it was the eldest sister, Chloe, who said with a justified expression, "since our brother is getting married, it is absolutely a must for US to ask the other party for a gift in return as our brother is too outstanding!" 1 Immediately after that, Ashnah and Abigail also said arrogantly, " Yes, the Turner family has to give US a gift. 1 The father and daughter duo of the Turner family, as well as vireo, were all speechless

Chapter 2116 Phil looked at his daughter, Mira. He did not say anything, but his gaze had already told her everything. 'You've seen it, right? The man from a lowly background is right in front of you. The typical man from a lowly background is a man who had made something of himself, so he had to take care of his entire family, which includes his parents, grandparents, and also sisters. Also, his family is going to be occupying a very important position in his life. You, as his wife, are simply just an outsider. Do you still want to marry him?' After he had asked his daughter that with his gaze, Phil turned his head around and looked at Lucius and his wife, as well as the three daughters of the Payne family in an incomparably contemptuous manner.

The three girls, however, did not sense Phil's contemptuous gaze at all. It was particularly so for the third daughter. She was the one who had the gift of the gab among the three sisters.

The third sister, Abigail, was wearing a small leather jacket. The shiny fur collar seemed extraordinarily expensive. As for the bottom, she was wearing a pair of solid-colored jeans made from high quality pure cotton, she was also wearing a pair of knee-high boots worth more than two thousand dollars. The way she dressed truly was expensive.

Abigail stood at the door looking expensive and confident. "Mister Turner, Miss Turner, do you think people from our small county are all country bumpkins? If our small county is filled with country bumpkins, how could my parents bring you to such a high-end private room? I'm guessing that even if it's in the provincial capital, there aren't many hotels there that are on the same level as The Grand Julius Hotel in our county, right? Then, let me tell you something, we, the Payne family, are not some small family and country bumpkins who know nothing!"

Phil and Mira were speechless. Mira, in particular, suppressed the anger within her and looked at Abigail, "Then, tell me, if you're not country bumpkins, then what are you?"

"I am your sister-in-law!" Abigail suddenly reprimanded Mira.

Mira was startled.

"Do you know what sister-in-law means? There are plenty of rules in our Payne family! You're the new daughter-in-law, so you're supposed to serve tea to your elders and to US, your sisters-in-law! Do you understand that?" Abigail simply wanted to first assert her dominance over Mira.

Mira muttered haltingly a little as she truly did not know what she should say in reply for a short moment. That was because she truly admired vireo too much and she wanted to marry this man too badly. She simply fell in love at first sight with Vireo. When she saw vireo again, she fell head over heels for him and was no longer able to suppress her feelings. She had also made a promise to Vireo earlier on that she would certainly treat the Payne family as her own and would certainly be gentle and meek. Surely, she could not just go back on her words after just one meal, right?

Mira forcibly suppressed her anger and then she smiled gently. " You must be Vireo's third sister. Nice to meet you.

Then, the two of you should be his eldest and second sister, right? Come in and have a seat. This table is so huge and we're a family, so we should discuss it together."

Only then did the three sisters sit proudly at the table. It was after they had properly taken their seats that Mira respectfully said, " You're right. It truly was difficult for the Payne family to raise a college graduate and he is a high achieving student who had completed the seven-year combined program. Don't worry. My family, the Turner family, certainly will not treat you poorly. We'll be a family in the future."

Mira felt that she had already taken the stance as the bigger person. Throughout the entire country, was it not the groom's family who was supposed to be giving gifts to the bride's family? It was truly a first for Mira to hear that the groom's family was going to ask the bride's family for gifts. However, since they had asked for it, that meant that they had the reason for doing so. Fine, she would put up with it!

At that moment, the second sister, who had yet to have the chance to speak, finally spoke. "Mister Turner and Miss Turner."

In comparison to the others, the second sister, Ashnah, was gentler when she spoke, but she also was not going to backdown. " This is the case. Our family indeed had many challenges in order to let my brother go to college. The concept of a family is very important to people like US in the small county. When you marry a woman, you marry her whole family. Likewise, when you marry my brother, you also marry his entire family. Our brother has three sisters, his parents, and his grandparents. He doesn't have many loved ones, but our family is inseparable. How about this, according to the Turner family's ability, and also because my brother indeed is a talented man who is one in a million, the gifts that the Turner family should be giving US should be two hundred thousand dollars in cash, a high-end car, and also a house under my brother's name, other than that, your family should buy three stores at strategic locations in our small county for my parents. After all, our brother is going to follow you back to the provincial capital and be a doctor at your family's hospital. In the future, my brother is going to take care of your family's business with all his heart and soul."

Chapter 2117 "Therefore, it’s still very worth it for you to be paying this little bit of gifts."

Two hundred dollars in cash, a high-end car, and a house. These were much more than the gifts people usually give to the bride. Not to mention, they even asked for three stores at strategic locations. It was a small county, but if those were stores at strategic locations, they surely would not be able to purchase one without over one million dollars. With all of that combined, the gifts that the Turner family was going to give might cost more than ten million dollars.

Phil suddenly laughed. He was laughing because he was angry. Phil was the one who was marrying off his daughter.

Originally, he had intended to give more than a hundred million dollars to his daughter when she was getting married.

In addition, all of the Turner family's properties were going to be his daughters alone. Who among all those elite and quality men in the provincial capital dared to ask for a single penny of gift when they marry Mira? He truly had no idea whether this Payne family was silly or extremely silly. They even claimed that they were insightful and were not country bumpkins. How hilarious! Idiots! Their speech about the gifts had practically ruined the glory and wealth of their family in the next couple of decades.

"Alright!" Phil agreed in an incomparable direct and happy manner. "I will buy a house in the provincial capital for my daughter and her husband, and it would not be worth less than five million dollars. Both my daughter and her husband's name would be written on the deed to the house, other than that, I will buy a high-end car worth two million dollars for my son-in-law alone. Two hundred thousand is too little. I'll give you one million. On top of that, I will buy three stores at the most prosperous location in the entire county. Are you satisfied?"

The three sisters were stunned.

They were not satisfied! How could they be satisfied! How could they have imagined that the Turner family would be so dumb? The Turner would simply just agree to whatever they had asked for? They simply regretted it to their bones.

However, no matter how much they regretted it, they had no way to go back on their requests anymore.

Therefore, the eldest sister looked at her brother, Vireo, with a smile. "Vireo, look, even Mister Turner and Miss Turner thought that we've asked too little for the gifts. How reasonable of them, vireo, we love you so much. You certainly have to take more care of our family in the future because you're the only one who has made a name of yourself in our family. Your sisters have been loving you so much when you're a child. We have given you all the delicious food. You have to think about US, your sisters and also your parents, for everything. Do you understand that, Vireo?"

vireo, who was seated at the table like a living corpse, had not uttered a single word. It was not until her eldest sister spoke to him in that way that Vireo's gaze was focused on her. He looked at his eldest sister, his second sister, and then his third sister. Not a single bit of emotion could be detected on his face. It was as if he had been numbed.

Nobody could tell if vireo was happy or sad. Everyone, who was present, only heard Vireo utter one word very softly.

"Alright."

It was just one word. It was very soft and very calm. Upon saying that, he got up and then he asked straightforwardly, "since everything had been agreed upon, then we can already end our banquet, right?"

Chapter 2118 Everybody was left speechless by what Vireo had said.

Mira, on the other hand, felt that she understood vireo very well at that moment, she already knew vireo's full name, "vireo, don't overthink it. After I've married you in the future, I will be a part of the Payne family. We'll all be a family. It's only right for us to be buying properties for the Payne family. Don't feel burdened. I love you."

She appeared to be very generous, and her smile was enough to melt Vireo's heart.

Vireo's eyes were radiating with gentleness. "Alright, thank you, Mira."

He simply wanted this negotiation to end quickly. He just wanted to leave the Payne family to go to the provincial capital as soon as possible. He also was not thinking of relying on his father-in-law and Mira, he just wanted to leave this place that made him feel suffocated but unable to struggle free.

After all, they were her adoptive parents. They were his parents who had raised him since birth. He truly could not be so heartless. All he could do was to run away. He could only escape.

No matter if it was the elders of the Payne family or the Turner family, both parties at the banquet were all having ulterior motives.

The Payne family was very happy. They had truly made the most worthwhile deal in history that day. Not only did they manage to sell their adopted son at a good price, but their adopted son was also still the Payne family's adopted son. That was not going to change. 1 Phil, on the other hand, was already furious beyond measure, but he was holding it back. He had to endure it for the sake of his daughter. If any of those young men from rich families had learned about his daughter's condition, they never would have married her. Therefore, Phil was truly helpless. He already had a plan in his mind. He was going to just let this shameless man from a lowly family accompany his daughter for life, but he was going to look down on his son-in-law for the rest of his life. 1 After this banquet, Phil and his daughter, Mira, stayed in the county for three days. They were waiting for Vireo to settle all these things at home. First of all, he had to cancel the account for the clinic. Secondly, he had to let his parents settle down. After that, the gifts that the Turner family had promised were also all prepared within the three days. As long as they had enough money, even if there were only three days, they could also get everything done. 4 In those three days, the Payne family was truly immensely glorious. Other families had to spend plenty of money on gifts when their sons got married, but the Payne family was different. Not only did the Payne family get an incomparably gentle and obedient daughter-in-law, who was extremely great to her parents -in-law and her three sisters-in-law, and did not dare to say anything wrong at all, but the Payne family did not need to contribute a single penny on gifts. 2 All that was not the rarest thing of all. The rarest thing was that not only did the Payne family not pay for any gifts to the bride, but they got lucrative gifts that were worth ten million dollars from the bride's family. That truly was just like a legend. The Payne family's son truly lived up to his expectations. Both Lucius and his wife were complimented throughout the county as if they were stars. However, nobody knew what Vireo was feeling. 1 Three days later, Vireo went to the provincial capital with Mira after he had taken care of everything in the county. In those three days, he truly fell in love with Mira. Perhaps, that was not love? That was just a kind of love that vireo needed. He was thinking that he was never going to fall in love with any other woman again in this life. He was going to stay by Mira's side in this life and live his life with her. From that day on, no matter how great of an achievement he got, he would attribute them to Mira. Also, Vireo had already made up his mind to willingly work tirelessly in the Turner family's hospital for life.

Chapter 2119 vireo willingly went to the provincial capital with Phil and his daughter, Mira. From the start of the journey to the provincial capital, Phil simply had been ignoring Vireo. Vireo knew it very well that he truly had become a man from a lowly background. However, he did not care. He would use the truth and his action to prove that he would not be a burden to the Turner family. On the contrary, he would certainly bring glory to the Turner family, vireo had the confidence. Therefore, even though he knew his father- in- law hated himself very much, Vireo also did not explain anything.

When they arrived at the provincial capital, Phil did not hold a grand reception to introduce Vireo to the people within his circle and let them be acquainted just because he had gotten himself a son-in-law. Phil only gave his son-in-law the cold shoulder and arranged a place for him to stay. Mira, on the other hand, stuck to Vireo like glue all day long.

When Phil saw his daughter like that, he was also feeling helpless. " Listen to me carefully! You're someone I've bought with ten million dollars to specially make my daughter happy. I've seen through your true colors. You're just a plaything. You're not that useful as well. Since you're a plaything, then you should just obediently take care of my daughter for the rest of her life! Don't have any other ulterior motives! Once I have noticed that you have any ploys, I could just turn you into ashes in this provincial capital! II What he said was extremely threatening, but vireo did not have any reaction at all. Whether he has the ability and whether he was a talented person would absolutely be up to him to decide. No one else's comments mattered.

"I know, Mister Turner." Vireo respectfully told his father-in-law.

Phil did not intend to let Vireo treat him as a father. Vireo also knew that very well.

Originally, he thought that Mira would propose to marry him once they got to the provincial capital. Vireo had also thought about it that even if Mira were to marry him the day after they arrived in the provincial capital, he absolutely would not object to that as well. He had already been fully prepared to get married to Mira on a spur of the moment. However, Mira did not immediately propose to get married to him. 1 Mira just acted cute. "I want to date you properly, alright?"

"Of course!" Vireo said gently.

That one year of dating had truly been etched into Vireo’s memory. He had also learned a lot about Mira in that year. After all, she was still a little princess, so her willful and unreasonable personalities were all exposed within half a month. In private, it was Vireo who had washed Mira's feet every night, when Mira threw a tantrum, her temper truly was worse than Vireo's three sisters combined. Sometimes, vireo would laugh in his heart, with all of his three sisters combined, they were no match for Mira in terms of being tricky, but his sisters actually would still pretend to be impressive in front of Mira.

However, in that one year when vireo and Mira were dating, the entire Payne family had been to the provincial capital over and over again. It was a given that they enjoyed their hearts out every time, and before they left, they would even take away truckloads of things. However, Mira had never lashed out in front of the Payne family. That was because after he had been with Vireo for a year, Mira loved Vireo more and more.

Vireo, on the other hand, also had never given up on Mira just because she had a bad temper, was tricky and strange, and was moody. He was able to unconditionally tolerate Mira. Not only that, but within a year, vireo had already gained a steady foothold in his father-in-law’s hospital, within a year, he had performed several big and difficult operations and all of them were successful.

In one year, Vireo had made a name for himself among the medical community in the provincial capital. Even his father-in-law, Phil, who originally looked down on him, was impressed by him.

Therefore, Phil proposed at the first opportunity to let vireo and Mira get married as soon as possible.

The wedding was very grand. There were plenty of guests who had come to congratulate the couple, of course, the entire Payne family also came as the family of the groom. The wedding was extraordinarily perfectly held in the provincial capital.

On the day of the wedding, Vireo even thought that his life had not been in vain. At the very least, he already had a wife he loved and a career, and everything was good.

On the night of the wedding, Vireo carried his newly wedded wife in his arms and said to her while he was enjoying himself.

"Mira, let's have a child. With my capability, even if I don't take a single penny of the Turner family's properties, I can also support you and our child very well."

When she heard him saying that, Mira suddenly got up from Vireo's arms and stuttered, "I...I am infertile."

Chapter 2120 vireo was speechless.

It was absolutely shocking when he heard such a piece of news. In Vireo's heart, perhaps nothing mattered. Money, status, wealth, and everything did not matter. However, he wanted to have a family. He wanted a family who was truly close to him. He wanted to have his own child and the kind of affection among a true family. As long as he could have a child, he would not care about money at all, he would not care about everything, and nothing mattered.

However, fate truly was too good at joking with him. Vireo wanted a family, he wanted his own loved ones, and he wanted to live an ordinary life like the millions of families in this world, why was it so difficult for him?

It was after a long pause that vireo smiled and said, "It's fine. The medical field is very advanced now. You can definitely be cured. Even if you're not able to be cured, we can still try in vitro fertilization, what is there to worry about?"

Mira looked at Vireo. "No, Vireo, no...I...I can never have children again in my life."

She knew that after she had hidden it for so long, it was no longer possible for her to hide it anymore. In any case, they had already gotten married, and the entire provincial capital had already known that Vireo Payne was her husband. Also, Vireo was going very well in the Turner family's hospital. They were already very deeply entangled. Therefore, Mira has no fear at that moment knowing that she has backing, she knew that vireo may get angry as well, but even if he did, she had to tell him because the truth could no longer be hidden.

"What do you mean by can’t ever have children anymore?" vireo did not quite understand.

He was unable to figure it out. The medical field at that time was already so advanced, so what could not be cured? He had already been cohabitating with her for a year, so he knew the structure of her body very well.

Suddenly, Vireo shuddered and he looked at Mira in horror. "Could it be that you...you are a transgender person?"

If that was the case, then Vireo would absolutely throw up in shock.

Mira shook her head. "I'm not."

"That's impossible!"

"If I am a transgender person, have you seen me taking hormone medicine? Can my body be so delicate and soft?" Mira, who had a fiery temper, immediately lashed out in anger.

vireo thought that it made sense as well.

"Then, why do you say that it's incurable?" Vireo looked at Mira anxiously. In order to console her, he said eagerly, "Don't worry.

No matter how difficult and complicated the disease is, we'll seek treatment with all our efforts. We certainly can get it cured.

Trust me. The medical field is very advanced now. We will have a child. We certainly will have a child!"

Mira cried. "No...it's impossible for US to have a child. Vireo, I am infertile. I...my uterus had already been removed."

"What?" vireo was instantly stunned.

He looked at his wife, his newly wedded wife, with incredulity. "Vireo, I...I feel that you probably won't mind that I've had sex before marriage, right? I...before I was with you, I had a boyfriend, " Mira said.

vireo was speechless. Indeed, he did not mind that at all. They were all adults, and nobody was necessarily able to marry the first person they dated. He did not mind if his wife had had a boyfriend or if she had cohabited with someone else before they had gotten married. He did not mind at all. However, never in a million years would he have expected that his wife would... 1 "What happened?" Vireo's expression darkened.

At that moment, no matter how tolerant a man was, he would also be angry.
