Chapter 364: Dowry

"I know you want to say you don't want us to worry."

"But we are even more worried about you if you do this. You are capable of great things, but you are also a girl. If anything happens to you, your aunt Liang and I will die without the face to see your parents."

Su Nanzhi showed a look of self-blame on her face. In her previous life, she was used to relying on herself for everything.

In this life, she also thought that the Xue family might be angry after knowing what she had done, but she didn't expect that they would blame themselves.

"Uncle Xue, the mission must be kept secret, that's why I didn't think of telling you."

"And my injury has healed, it's not serious."

Xue Jiawang looked at Su Nanzhi's drooping eyes, and a trace of heartache flashed across his face.

If she had someone to rely on, why would a little girl like Nanzhi be so stubborn?

Thinking of this, he took out an envelope from his pocket and placed it on the table.

"Nanzhi, since you and Gu Xizhou have obtained a marriage certificate, you should live a good life from now on."

"Your Aunt Liang and I don't have much ability, so just consider this little money as our makeup for you."

Su Nanzhi suddenly looked up and looked at the slightly bulging envelope. Although she didn't know how much money was in it, it must be a considerable sum for the Xue family.

"Uncle Xue, I can't accept it."

As soon as she said this, Xue Jiawang's face darkened, "If you don't accept it, you are not recognizing your Uncle Xue."

"I have money." Su Nanzhi wanted to say something else, but Xue Jiawang had already stuffed the envelope into her hand.

"Your situation is your business, this money is a gift from your Uncle Xue and Aunt Liang."

Facing Xue Jiawang's irrefutable gaze, Su Nanzhi could no longer say anything.

"Thank you, Uncle Xue."

As she spoke, she squeezed the envelope in her hand a little tighter.

At worst, I can find an opportunity to repay the Xue family in the future.

Seeing Su Nanzhi accept the money, Xue Jiawang's face finally relaxed a little.

But soon a hesitant expression appeared on his face again.

Su Nanzhi had been paying attention to his expression, and immediately said, "Uncle Xue, just say it if you have something to say."

Xue Jiawang opened his mouth, but in the end, no words came out.

Just then, the door was opened from the outside and Liang Hongying appeared at the door.

When Xue Jiawang saw her, he felt like he had seen a savior.

"Let your Aunt Liang talk to you."

Liang Hongying seemed to know something and felt helpless, but she still walked in.

The confusion on Su Nanzhi's face grew deeper and deeper.

Seeing her expression, Liang Hongying couldn't help but grab her hand, and also showed an expression similar to Xue Jiawang's, wanting to say something but hesitant.

Su Nanzhi became even more confused by the two people's weird talk.

Just when she couldn't help but want to ask, Liang Hongying finally spoke.

"Nanzhi, Aunt Liang and your Uncle Xue are asking this question for your own good. Don't think we are meddling in your affairs."

Su Nanzhi opened her eyes slightly, still confused in her heart, but when she heard her words, she waved her hand calmly.

"Aunt Liang, Uncle Xue, I know you're good to me. You can ask me anything you want to know."

As if she had taken a tranquilizer, Liang Hongying's face finally relaxed a lot.

"Nanzhi, your parents are gone. As your elders, your uncle Xue and I still have to ask you some questions."

She glanced at Xue Jiawang beside her before continuing, "You and Captain Gu got your marriage certificate. Did Captain Gu give you any betrothal gifts?"

Su Nanzhi didn't expect that the two of them wanted to ask her this question after arguing for so long, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Seeing her expression, Xue Jiawang couldn't help but slap the table and said to Liang Hongying beside him, "See, I told you that guy surnamed Gu is not a good guy. He didn't even give any betrothal gifts, but tricked Nanzhi into getting the marriage certificate."

Liang Hongying's face was not very good either. She didn't expect that the seemingly gentle Gu Xizhou would do something so inappropriate.

In the morning, Su Nanzhi and Gu Xizhou said they were going to get their marriage certificate. They didn't think about this problem for a while, and it was only after they left that they realized it.

"How could Captain Gu be so careless in his actions?" Liang Hongyi seemed to have thought of something. She lowered her voice and leaned over to Su Nanzhi and whispered, "Nanzhi, are you and Captain Gu still innocent?"

After all, they had been in a fake marriage for a few months, and they were both still young and full of passion. If one of them did something he shouldn't have done out of excitement, then...

Liang Hongying and Xue Jiawang immediately cast their eyes on Su Nanzhi's belly. If she was really pregnant, then Gu Xizhou would have caught her.

Seeing that both of their eyes were fixed on her belly, Su Nanzhi's face instantly turned red with shame.

Although she and Gu Xizhou did not take the first step, they did a lot of intimate things.

Now she is like a minor who was caught in premature love by her parents.

Although she is an adult and has obtained a marriage certificate.

She was just about to explain.

There was another knock on the door, and this time it was Gu Xizhou who appeared at the door.

Seeing Gu Xizhou, Xue Jiawang and Liang Hongying's expressions were not very good.

"Mr. Gu, I didn't expect that you, who look like a decent person, would do something so unethical."

Xue Jiawang took the lead in "attacking". At this moment, he looked at Xizhou with eyes that were not eyes and nose that was not a nose.

Although Gu Xizhou didn't understand why, he could feel that the Xue couple looked at his wooden pipe with some unkindness.

He looked Su Nanzhi up and down calmly, and only when he was sure that she was fine did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Xue, did I do something wrong?"

It would have been fine if Gu Xizhou didn't say anything, but upon hearing this, Xue Jiawang became even angrier.

"What did you do wrong? You married Nanzhi, did you prepare a betrothal gift for her? Don't you even know the basics of acting, not to mention the three turns and one ring?"

Gu Xizhou was thinking about what other bad things he had done besides concealing his identity and being rude to Xue Jiawang when he was in "Lin Sen".

When he suddenly heard Xue Jiawang's words, he was stunned.

Because he was afraid that Su Nanzhi would not marry him, he didn't think so much about it. When he heard Xue Jiawang's words, he realized that he was too careless.

Gu Xizhou looked at Su Nanzhi apologetically and was about to apologize to Xue Jiawang.

When Xue Jiawang saw Gu Xizhou and Su Nanzhi "winking at each other", his face became even angrier and he slammed the table heavily.

"Gu Xizhou, don't think that just because you are a group leader, you can bully us Nanzhi."

"Although Nanzhi's parents have passed away, she still has me and her Aunt Liang."

"I have taken down this bad guy today. You must make up the betrothal gift to Nanzhi."

Seeing that he was really angry and resentful, Su Nanzhi immediately stepped forward to support Xue Jiawang and patted his back soothingly.

"Uncle Xue, don't be angry, Gu Xizhou..."

Liang Hongying, who was standing by, thought that Su Nanzhi was trying to plead for Gu Xizhou, so she interrupted her immediately.

"Nanzhi, a girl must have some security when she gets married. Captain Gu is not that poor. I believe he just forgot to prepare the betrothal gift. Now that we have reminded him, he will definitely make up for it for you."

When Su Nanzhi heard Xue Jiawang and Liang Hongying playing the villain and the good guy respectively, she wanted Gu Xizhou to give her a betrothal gift.

A warm feeling flows through my heart.

But Gu Xizhou's passbooks were all with her, and Gu Xizhou couldn't afford the betrothal gift at all.

She was about to open her mouth to explain when Gu Xizhou beside her suddenly spoke up.
