The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Chapter 431

Matthew gaped at Renae in a daze. Renae hadn't mentioned anything about this during their ride over. Even though it was clear she was just dealing with some family pressure, Matthew's heart inadvertently started racing. Sandra sized up Matthew. After staring at him for a while, she looked disappointed and firmly said, "It's not happening. You can't pick him."

Donna echoed the sentiment. "I don't think he's good enough either. When choosing a partner, you need to find someone capable if you want a good life. Other than being young, what can he offer? He clearly isn't a successful person." Matthew wanted to give Renae a hand, but Donna and Sandra had dismissed him. He shrugged at Renae, indicating that he couldn't help since her family wasn't impressed by him.

Renae cleared her throat. "You're mistaken, Mom, Donna. Matthew is quite successful, and he even runs his own company."

Sandra turned to Matthew. "You'd better think it through, young man. If you want to be with Renae, you need to give us 500 thousand dollars as a wedding gift. Can you afford that?"

500 thousand dollars? Matthew was shocked. Back in his hometown, people typically asked for 10 thousand dollars, and that was already considered a lot. However, Sandra asked for a truly outrageous amount.

But it wasn't a big deal. He just saw it as purchasing the medical literature and covering the cost.

Matthew was about to say something when Renae interjected from beside him. "Are you losing your mind over money, Mom?
