After being scolded by Wang Cuiping, Wu Feiyue didnât dare to propose staying in Yangcheng anymore.
He did not say it out loud, but if possible, he still wanted to strive to stayin Yangcheng.
âIâll think about it. â
âWhatâs there to think about? Feel free to go to Zhonghai in the future,â Wang
Cuiping said.
âJust tell me what you think about Bai Jing. What do you think?â
âPretty good, pretty good,â Wu Feiyue said honestly.
Wang Cuiping looked at Bai Jing and smiled.
âLittle Jing, what do you think of my son? Weâre all on the same side. If you have any thoughts, just say it.â
Bai Jing lowered her head in embarrassment. âI also think heâs not bad. Itâs good to find an honest person to live with.â
Lin Yi pursed his lips. Her words were very clear to him.
In the past, the words âhonest personâ was a compliment, but now it had become a derogatory word.
âSince both of you think that the other party is not bad, Iâm pretty confident in this union.â Wang Cuiping smiled and looked at Zhao Li. âLittle Li, other than this, do you have any other requests?â
Zhao Li hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said,
âI also think that Feiyue is a good kid. Shall we have a more in-depth chat? We can talk about the betrothal gift.â
âSure. â
Wang Cuiping answered without hiding anything.
Ordinary people were more realistic than rich people. This point was vividly reflected in their conversation.
It was a time to discuss emotions and feelings, but he blatantly started talking about money.
Moreover, no one felt that it was against the norm. They were all extremely frank.
This was unlike rich people who would go back and forth and hide their true motives for a long time.
âLittle Li, we know each other well. If you have any thoughts, just say it. I donât have to worry about Little Yi now. Other than my eldest son, the rest will only get married in a few years time, so Iâll do my best I can in this matter.â
Lin Yi was speechless. Mom, if you continue like this, youâll leave us no room for negotiation!
Zhao Li smiled in embarrassment. âYou all know about Bai Jingâs situation. Sheâs an undergraduate in university and works in a Fortune 500 Global company. Moreover, there were many people wooing her before, soâ¦â
âI know that Little Jing is outstanding, which is why we are trying our best to facilitate their relationship,â Wang Cuiping said.
âThen Iâll tell you the truth,â Zhao Li said.
âPreviously, someone introduced someone to our Little Jing. He has a masterâs degree from a famous university and from Zhonghai. Not only did he have a house and a car, but he also offered a dowry of 1.08 million. Since we have a close relationship and know each other well, we shouldnât ask for so much. Letâs settle on a dowry of 880,000, which is also an auspicious number.â
â880,000?â
Hearing this, Wang Cuiping could no longer sit still.
Her previous expectations were for each of her children âs marriages to cost 100,000 yuan.
However, the orphanage was set to be reimbursed and Lin Yi had also given her a lot of money, she raised this standard to 180,000 yuan.
However, she could not provide 880,000 yuan.
Lin Yi was also completely turned off.
Even Ji Qingyan was too embarrassed to ask for 880,000 yuan. How could someone like her have the cheek to ask this?
Wang Cuiping subconsciously looked at Zhao Quanfu, wanting to hear his opinion.
Zhao Quanfu only smacked his lips. âWe canât fork out that much money.â
Wang Cuipingâs expression was a little awkward. âLittle Li, isnât this a little too much? You know our situation. There are so many children in our home. We canât take out this amount of money. Canât you reduce it a little?â
âSister, we actually arenât asking for much.â Zhao Li pretended to be troubled. âPreviously, they offered me 1.08 million yuan. I was too embarrassed to ask you for this much.â
âWellâ¦â
Wang Cuiping was at her witâs end. She looked at Lin Yi again, wanting him to come up with an idea.
Lin Yi knew that he couldnât play dead anymore.
âActually, itâs alright,â Lin Yi said, â880,000 isnât much.â
Wu Feiyue frowned. Even if it was 180,000 yuan, he could not accept it, let alone 880,000 yuan.
However, just as he was about to speak, Lin Yi kicked him under the table, interrupting his train of thought. Then, he said to Zhao Li,
âWhat other requests do you have? Tell me. Letâs discuss them together.
The Bai family members were delighted. It seemed that there was no point in talking to Wang Cuiping about this. They would simply talk to Wu Feiyueâs younger brother.
After all, he was the one paying.
Just as Zhao Li was about to speak, she realized that Bai Jing had quietly pulled her back and whispered,
âWhatâs wrong, Daughter?â
âMom, I want a bigger house. 200 square meters is too small.â
âIn a place like Zhonghai, housing prices are not low. A house that is 200 square meters is already sky-high,â Zhao Li said.
She felt that her daughterâs expectations were a bit excessive. Even if his brother was rich, he could not go too far.
Otherwise, the situation would easily sour.
âWhat do you know?â Bai Jing said, âI saw his watch just now. Do you know how much it costs?â
Subconsciously, Zhao Li looked at Lin Yiâs wrist.
She vaguely spotted a colorful watch.
âWhatâs that? The watch strap is made of rubber. Itâs obvious that itâs not worth much.â
âLet me tell you, that brand is called Richard Mille. I just checked on the Internet. His watch is worth more than ten million yuan. His wealth has already exceeded our imagination.
âHeâs wearing a 10-million-yuan watch?â
After knowing the price of Lin Yiâs watch, Zhao Li could no longer remain calm. She originally thought that Lin Yi was rich, but she didnât expect him to be this rich!
If any random watch of his cost more than 10 million yuan, wouldnât it be easy to buy a house worth tens of millions?
âI understand,â Zhao Li whispered. âBe calm. Iâll mention your request when the time comes.â
âThereâs no need to mention the ownership details either. Iâve already checked. As long as the two of you are married, it doesnât matter who signs the deed as the house will be the property of the couple. Therefore, thereâs no need to mention the name. This will also make us seem more genuine.â
âYouâre so thoughtful.â
During this period, Lin Yi and Wang Cuiping didnât say anything.
This is a big deal. Itâs normal for a family of three to sit together and discuss.â
Zhao Li straightened her expression. âWe have discussed it and decided to lower the original amount. After all, Feiyue is a good child. Thereâs no need to set those rules.â
âYes, yes, yes. If the two of them get together, theyâll be even closer in the future. How good would that be?â
âThatâs right.â Zhao Li said.
âSo, in addition to the dowry, we hope to have a 300-square-meter or larger school district house in the city center of Zhonghai. It must be in a top-rated school district because if our childrenâs education falls behind, they will be left far behind others.â
âMhm⦠a goo-square-meter school district houseâ¦â
After a few seconds of contemplation, Lin Yi secretly thought to himself,
âYou really dare to ask for that?!â
