At my ex-boyfriend's engagement banquet, I appeared in full attire. He thought I was there to cause trouble, but I smiled very kindly and said, "We'll all be family from now on, no need...
Chapter 100 My Dowry
For a while, everyone was talking about all kinds of things, but no one asked about my aunt, including Deng Sisi, my aunt's only daughter.
"Uncle, how is my aunt? Now that you are back, who is accompanying her in the hospital?" I finally couldn't help but ask.
Everyone seemed to remember what happened to my aunt in the hospital.
Deng Xinrong felt a little uncomfortable. "She sleeps most of the time now, so she doesn't need anyone to accompany her all the time. It's fine for her to lie down for a while."
"How is my aunt's illness? What disease does she have?" Although my aunt and I don't meet often and don't have much affection for each other, I left a good impression on that weak and introverted woman. She always spoke softly with a faint smile on her face.
Deng Xinrong hesitated for a moment. "I don't know much about women's diseases. I had the surgery, and the doctor said it was successful."
I felt relieved. It shouldn't be a big problem. Even though I didn't have any feelings for her, she was still my aunt after all.
Looking at my mother's face, there was no worry at all. She is a doctor and she felt there was no need to worry, and that there was probably no big problem.
I asked, "Mom, should we go to the hospital to see my aunt?"
Even if we don't have a deep relationship, she is my aunt after all, so I think I should visit her.
Deng Sisi stood by with her head down and said nothing. That was her biological mother, why did she act like it had nothing to do with her?
Deng Xinrong looked at my mother and said, "It's good to go and see her. After all, you are sisters."
My mother nodded expressionlessly, "Okay, let's go to the hospital to see her after dinner."
The conversation between Deng Xinrong and my mother made me feel more and more that something was wrong. If their genders were swapped, I would think they were having an affair and that Deng Sisi was my mother's child.
Thinking of this, I suddenly shuddered. Could it be that I am not my father's child?
But I quickly rejected this idea. My eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as my father's, with big double eyelids and round eyes.
Deng Sisi has double eyes like his father, and looks a bit like Tony Leung Chiu-wai. No matter who she stares at, she looks very affectionate.
Who cares? As long as my bloodline is fine, that’s fine.
Deng Xinrong is obviously the one who is in charge of the Deng family, and his brothers and sisters-in-law all want to please him.
"Shuyao, my family is small, and Wen Yan is the only male in this generation.
His marriage is the top priority for our family, and finding a suitable wife for him has become a concern for me. He will be 29 after the New Year.
Wen Yan is the second college student in our village besides me. He is talented and worthy of an excellent girl. I am sorry to trouble you with this matter. If this matter can be resolved, it will be a great help to me. "
Deng Xinrong looked at my mother with a somewhat affectionate look. I rubbed my eyes, suspecting that I had seen it wrong.
Are my parents really cheating on each other? This is too outrageous.
One of these hats is dark green and the other is light green. Which one should I side with?
I began to feel that my family was in danger.
"Xinrong, don't worry, I will do my best."
"By the way, Shuyao, your family's old Xia only has one daughter, Mengmeng. I guess he has prepared quite a bit of dowry for her."
My uncle did not address my parents as sister and brother-in-law like my aunt did. This was something I had never noticed before, and no one else in the Deng family seemed to think there was anything strange about it.
You're already thinking about my dowry before we even start thinking about my marriage?
I don't know if my mom was trying to show off or was just being naive, but she actually told him, "Mengmeng's dad told me before that when Mengmeng gets married, he'll give her a small villa, a car, and 8 million in cash. No matter who she marries, she'll have a good life in the future."
So we don't expect her to find a husband with a good family background, as long as he is honest and treats her well."
