"Can… "
"Nothing but."
Su Lengmo's attitude was very tough, "If Uncle Shang and Aunt Shang feel that this gift is small, we can add more."
"No, no, we just want to say that the bride price is too much."
"Is it much?"
Su Lengmo chuckled lightly, "As the second aunt said, this gift is just a drop in the bucket of the Su family. We are happy to give it."
After saying that, he pointed at Shang Xiaoqin, "If Xiaoqin gives birth to a child in ten months, whether it is a boy or a girl, we will give another reward. As long as she can live with Jiahao with peace of mind, she will never be treated badly in terms of material things." , Jiahao will not mess around outside, I can guarantee this in front of your two elders. "
The businessman and his wife were so intimidated by Su Lengmo's aura that they had no choice but to accept the gift.
"Leng Mo, we can only afford one million yuan for Xiaoqin's dowry. I know it's a bit small, but it's our entire family wealth." Shang's old face turned red and he stuttered.
Su Lengmo raised the corner of his mouth and said: "Uncle Shang, this million is all your property. It is much heavier than our betrothal gift. If you give it, my wife and I will give it to our young couple. From now on, Xiaoqin will Whether they take it back to you or leave it alone is their business."
"As long as you don't dislike it."
"As I said, Xiaoqin's ability to marry into the Tang family and give birth to children for Jiahao is the biggest gift. As for money, the Su family has it and doesn't care."
Father Shang smiled kindly and boldly asked Su Lengmo about business matters. Su Lengmo didn't hide it, and the two of them had a great conversation.
They were smiling happily, but the second aunt was not happy, and the smiles on her faces were frozen as if they were frozen.
The betrothal gift was a fraction of what she could never earn in a lifetime of hard work, but her sister was lucky enough to rely on her daughter to get wealth that no one else could even dream of in their lifetime.
"Sister, if your life is good in the future, don't forget about me and my third sister. We have helped your family a lot in the past." The second aunt said in a somewhat sinister tone.
"Jiaqin..." Shang's mother gave her a warning look and said.
Su Lengmo and Tang Yao also glanced at her at the same time without saying anything.
This meal lasted three hours.
"Uncle Shang, Aunt Shang, it's early now. If you're interested, we can take a dip in the nearby hot spring." Su Lengmo said after paying the bill.
Father Shang looked at his phone and saw that it was already ten o'clock. He waved his hand and said: "Leng Mo, no need, it's not too early now. Your Aunt Shang and I are too old to stay up late. Otherwise, go back If I can’t sleep, I won’t be energetic tomorrow.”
"Okay, I'll have someone drive you back."
"no, I'm fine."
"Brother-in-law, I can just send my mother-in-law and father-in-law back."
Tang Jiahao, who had been drinking and talking with him, said.
"Yeah." Su Lengmo didn't force it: "Drive carefully on the road, and call your sister when you get there."
"I know, brother-in-law." Tang Jiahao said obediently.
After leaving the hotel, Shang Xiaoqin pulled Tang Yao over and apologized: "Sister Tang Yao, I'm sorry. I didn't expect my second aunt to be like this."
"What happened to the second aunt? I think she is quite real." Tang Yao said with a smile: "But Xiaoqin, after marrying into the Tang family, you can fight for some things that should be fought for, but you can't imitate some people who make random demands blindly. Others are willing Giving means willingly, but if you force yourself to give, others will not give it even if they don’t want to."
"Sister Tang Yao, I know." Shang Xiaoqin sighed helplessly: "Second Aunt made you and Mr. Su uncomfortable today."
Tang Yao was very satisfied with Shang Xiaoqin's observation. She touched Shang Xiaoqin's earlobe and said, "Don't think too much. After all, she is your second aunt. Leng Mo and I will not be stingy enough to have trouble with an elder."
Shang Xiaoqin nodded, with lingering guilt in his eyes.
"Get in the car quickly and call me when you get there."
"I know."
Shang Xiaoqin accompanied the merchant couple into the car, rolled down the window and waved to Tang Yao.
After the car drove away, Tang Yao chuckled with unknown meaning and said: "It seems that the group of relatives of the merchant are not all good. Some of them are destined to be parasites who want to plunder other people's things."
Su Lengmo hugged Tang Yao's waist and tapped her nose: "Are you angry?"
"I can't do it for such a scheming woman, but I'm afraid that Xiaoqin's parents will suffer at her hands." Tang Yao frowned: "Sometimes, a person's jealousy can prompt her to do something A lot of unreasonable things.”
"Want to deal with her?"
"If you can, send a few people to beat it. I don't want Xiaoqin to worry about her mother's family."
Tang Yao's worry is not unreasonable. The second aunt's woman can be seen as a scheming one at a glance. From the investigation, the businessman and his wife are very simple. At least they are upright and not the kind to take advantage of others. Yes, this kind of people are always prone to suffer losses once they meet someone who is too narrow-minded.
"I will send someone to beat her up." Su Lengmo hugged Tang Yao and walked to the car: "Don't worry about being out of the spotlight. You also said she is a parasite. Just drive her away or kill her."
Tang Yao laughed softly and said, "You are much crueler than me."
"No poison, no husband." Su Lengmo said: "Sometimes I am very stingy. What I don't like the most is someone using their own little cleverness to climb on top of me and offend me, even if they don't want her. It will also make her remember to walk with her tail between her legs in the future.”
The smile on Tang Yao's lips became even bigger.
It seemed that the second aunt's self-righteousness annoyed both of them at the same time.
…
After Shang Xiaoqin and Tang Jiahao sent the Shang family home, Shang's mother took Tang Jiahao's hand and said, "Jiahao, please help me say sorry to your sister when the time comes. Even though my second sister is a bit talkative, she has a good heart." , tell her not to be angry."
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, my sister is not such a stingy person." Tang Jiahao said with a smile: "You and your father-in-law can relax and attend Xiaoqin and I's wedding with peace of mind. After the marriage, I will treat you as my own children." My parents came to see me.”
"You are thoughtful." Mother Shang sighed and said, "I feel relieved that Xiaoqin is in your hands."
"My mother-in-law can rest assured, which is the greatest affirmation for me." Tang Jiahao gave a funny salute, "You and your father-in-law can go in. It's getting late today, so Xiaoqin and I won't go in and disturb you, for fear of disturbing your two elders. rest."
"Be careful on the road and help me take care of Xiaoqin."
"Will do."
After saying a few more polite words, Tang Jiahao took Shang Xiaoqin and left in the car.
Back at his residence, Shang Xiaoqin hugged Tang Jiahao from behind and whispered: "Jiahao, are you angry?"
"A little bit." Tang Jiahao said in a bad tone: "My sister loves me like a son, but today she is being embarrassed by your second aunt. To be honest, I am unhappy in my heart, but considering that she is a relative of yours , I tolerated it, but if there is a next time, I may lose my temper, and I will not allow anyone to use cleverness to prevent my sister from stepping down."
A flash of light flashed in Shang Xiaoqin's eyes. She thought Tang Jiahao was a stupid boy who indulged her unconditionally, but she didn't expect that his bottom line was Tang Yao.
It seems that she underestimated Tang Yao's status in Tang Jiahao's heart.
She will have to pay more attention in the future.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect that either." Shang Xiaoqin said lowly: "I apologize to you on behalf of my second aunt. Don't be nice to me because of her, okay?"
"Fool, what are you talking about? How could I not be nice to you because of others?" Tang Jiahao turned around and hugged Shang Xiaoqin, and whispered: "I'm sorry, I spoke too harshly just now."
"It's okay." He said it was okay, but Shang Xiaoqin's tears still fell down: "Jiahao, I was scared. I was so afraid that you would get angry and ignore me."
"Fool, how could I possibly do that?" Tang Jiahao wiped away her tears sadly, "You are my fiancée, we will get married soon, and you are the most important woman in my life."
Shang Xiaoqin smiled, but the tears still fell down drop by drop like tap water from a faucet.
"Why are you crying again?" Tang Jiahao picked her up and went back to the bedroom. He put her on the big bed and patted her back like a child: "Good boy, don't cry anymore. It's me." No, I shouldn’t talk to you loudly. If you’re angry, hit me. Crying too much is not good for the baby in your belly.”
"Hiccup... I won't cry anymore. You go take a shower. Hurry up." Shang Xiaoqin pushed Tang Jiahao embarrassedly: "I want to read a book."
"Then you are not allowed to cry." Tang Jiahao confirmed again and again before taking his clothes and entering the bathroom.
Shang Xiaoqin stared at the closed door of the bathroom and sneered. The tears still hanging on her face made her look particularly cold and ruthless. There was no trace of the pity she had just now.
While Tang Jiahao didn't come out of the shower, she went to the balcony, took out her mobile phone and edited a text message for Huo Qisheng.
The marriage between Tang Jiahaoqi and I has been agreed upon, and the wedding is scheduled to be held on the 10th in two months at the Hilton Hotel, the largest seven-star hotel in the city.
After it showed that the message was sent successfully, Shang Xiaoqin directly deleted the text message and stood at the railing looking at the scenery outside.
She now lives in a high-end apartment bought by Tang Yao. The scenery is good. Not far away, she can see the endless mountains and flowing water. The stars in the sky can also be seen clearly. And at night, the breeze blows slowly. Come on, it's very comfortable.
"Why didn't you approve some clothes when you came out? What should I do if I catch a cold?" A slightly reproachful voice came, and then a piece of clothes was draped on Shang Xiaoqin's body.
Shang Xiaoqin grabbed her clothes with both hands, turned her head, and gently kissed Tang Jiahao's lips with a smile on her face, saying: "Jiahao, I feel very happy. My dream since I was a child is to be able to reach the age of 25 before I'm twenty-five." I got married, but after I started working, I saw the difference in the workplace. I thought I would focus on my work, so I postponed the idea of becoming friends indefinitely. I didn’t expect to meet you so soon, so I’m grateful. Your presence made my childhood dream come true."
