Chapter 46: Dowry

"What are you going to use to get a wife? Stop bragging and trying to scare us! Do you really think we were brought up by being scared? What's the point of just bragging? If you have the guts, take out the money. I want to see how capable your family is?" Li Ming's mother yelled loudly!

Gao Cheng's mother looked at Gao Wen and Gao Cheng, then glanced at everyone and signaled a young man who came down from the car to bring the things up.

"Here, child, this is a small gift from your aunt. It's the first time I meet you, and I prepared it in a hurry. Please keep it for now."

Gao Cheng's mother opened the box and found three gifts: a gold necklace, a white jade bracelet, and a diamond ring. The diamond on this ring was much bigger than Gao Cheng's!

"These are for you, just a little gift, don't be offended!"

Gao Cheng's mother took out another box and handed it to Gao Wen's parents. Inside was 300,000 yuan in cash neatly arranged.

When the neighbors saw so much money, their eyes lit up and their tone changed: "Gao Wen is so lucky! This family is much richer than Li Ming's!"

"Yes! Yes! I wish our daughter could have such a good life!"

When Li Ming's mother and relatives saw the 300,000 yuan and the three pieces of jewelry, they stopped talking and their arrogance was instantly reduced by half.

"Old sister, I wonder if these are something you like? Are they enough for the betrothal gift they mentioned?"

"Enough, enough, it's good, it's good, it's too much! Too much! Come on, let's go in and sit down, go in and sit down!" Father Gao quickly invited everyone into the house.

"Sister, do you want to come in and sit for a while?" Gao Cheng's mother asked Li Ming's mother.

"Why should I sit? Don't think you're so rich. We're not poor either. 300,000 is nothing. We have it too. We just don't think she's worth that much!"

"Oh? Really? Since you think it's not worth it, please go back! Oh, and let's not even talk about 300,000, even if it's 1 million, we can come up with it. Can you? If you don't have that ability, don't yell here, it's so embarrassing!"

"You..." Li Ming's mother was so angry!

Gao Cheng's father watched his wife's quarrel with the other party, who was speechless, and smiled with a doting look on his face.

Gao Wen's parents came over and said to Li Ming's mother, "I'm sorry, sister. You see, Wenwen doesn't want to marry Li Ming, and there's nothing we can do. I think we should just forget about it! Take this five thousand yuan as our apology."

When Li Ming's mother saw the five thousand yuan that Gao Wen's mother stuffed in, she was immediately furious: "Who cares about your little money? Your daughter doesn't want to marry, and my son doesn't want to marry her either. You're just a slut. You're flirting with other men outside before you even get married, and you bring men home. You have no sense of propriety."

"What did you say?" Gao Cheng was so angry that he rushed forward and raised his hands, but his mother grabbed him and said, "Son, you can't hit people!"

"Didn't you hear what I said? I said Gao Wen is a slut?" Li Ming's mother screamed hysterically.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you talk like that? The girl doesn't want to marry your son, and you're anxious?" The neighbor questioned Li Ming's mother.

"That's right. Because he's not as rich as others and can't marry Gao Wen, he feels jealous and starts attacking her!" said another neighbor.

"Go away quickly, leave my house, and don't come here again. If you say that about my daughter, do you think your son is a good person? Go away quickly, leave my house!" Gao Wen's mother pushed Li Ming's mother away, pulled Gao Wen up, turned around and invited Gao Cheng's parents into the house.

Li Ming's mother wanted to throw a tantrum at the door, but Gao Cheng's friends walked over and surrounded Li Ming's family.

Li Ming felt humiliated when he saw this. Fearing a fight that would get out of hand, he quickly grabbed his mother and a group of relatives and drove away from Gao Wen's house.

"Mom, you did a good job." Gao Cheng whispered to his mother.

"Isn't it embarrassing for you, son?"

"No, you are well prepared!"

"That's right, who is your mother? How could you not know such an important thing?"

"So what do you think of this daughter-in-law? Are you satisfied?"

"She's pretty, but a little timid! Son, your dad and I don't object to whatever you decide. But you must remember to treat this girl well in the future and don't let her suffer any grievances, understand?" Gao Cheng's mother straightened her son's collar and said earnestly.

"Don't worry, Mom! I will definitely love her well!"

Gao Cheng hugged his mother, turned around and went into the house together!

Tian Xin and Zhang Shuai had been standing at the door. They had no say in what had just happened, so they just watched from the door.

A dozen of Gao Cheng's good friends were talking at the door, and Tian Xin saw Lin Zhou among the group.

Gao Wen's parents invited Gao Cheng's parents into the house to talk, and Gao Cheng quickly came out to greet his brothers.

Lin Zhou also saw Tian Xin and walked towards her.

"Long time no see!" Lin Zhou said.

"Ah! Long time no see!"

"you……"

"I'm fine." Tian Xin interrupted Lin Zhou: "I'll go in first and we'll talk later." She turned and went into the house.

"Who is he? Boss!" Zhang Shuai asked behind Tian Xin.

"No one, a friend!"

Tian Xin went into the house with Zhang Shuai without even turning her head.

"Thank you guys for coming here to support us today. You are really kind to me. If you have any questions in the future, Gao Cheng will definitely speak up and will never be vague." Gao Cheng said to his brothers.

"Of course, Gao Cheng! You're having such a passionate relationship, awesome!" A boy teased Gao Cheng and gave him a thumbs up.

"Get out!" Gao Cheng smiled and patted the guy's hand.

The whole group laughed.

"Caught up?" Lin Zhou asked Gao Cheng quietly.

"I think so! How are you progressing?"

"Did you see it? Just like that!" Lin Zhou said helplessly.

"Why, it doesn't work?" Gao Cheng asked.

"What do you think?"

"Looks like we need to change our strategy. Yours is a bit difficult to deal with!" Gao Cheng had an unfathomable expression on his face.

"What are you talking about?" Lin Zhou patted Gao Cheng: "I can't count on you anymore!"

"No! Let me think about it. If it really doesn't work, you can just kill their family like I did. Let me tell you, a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man. If you keep clinging to her, she will naturally agree when she can't stand it! Besides, your conditions are much better than mine. I guess Tian Xin just wants to test you. You have to hold on!" Gao Cheng said to Lin Zhou seriously.

"Get lost! What nonsense! You say a virtuous woman is afraid of a clinging man, but why don't I see you clinging to Gao Wen all day long?"

"I'm pestering you, but you didn't see it. I've almost used up all 72 rules of love for Gao Wen, and I still have to snatch this from my love rival. Think about it, think carefully, you have to be patient! Right!"

"Alas..." Lin Zhou sighed: "It's difficult!"

"What? Are you scared?" Gao Cheng asked.

"Of course not, I just feel like she doesn't care about me, like she doesn't care at all. No matter what I do, I can't make her look back at me!"

Lin Zhou leaned against the car, his arms folded, his body dejected, and his face full of loss.

"Unlike you, you and Gao Wen like each other and are drawn to each other. But I... am performing a one-man show."

"I can't catch up with her..."

Lin Zhou became more and more depressed as he spoke. Gao Cheng felt that if he continued, this guy would collapse, so he quickly changed the subject.

"How about I call her out and you two can talk?"

"No need! I can see her and talk to her, that's all!"

"No, buddy, you're too cowardly. What are you afraid of? Go ahead!"

"I'll go call her, just wait! I have to help you today!"

Gao Cheng turned and went into the house, and soon Tian Xin followed him out.

When Lin Zhouyi saw Tian Xin coming out, his heart, which had just sunk, instantly came to life.

He hurriedly walked towards Tian Xin, his eyes full of affection that he couldn't hide. He was afraid that if he was a second slower, this person would disappear again.
