After Lu Zheng finished speaking, the corners of Lu Hai's mouth, which were originally chatting and laughing with Zhou Shoujun, fell, the smile on Lu Ping's face disappeared, and Liu Jing lowered her head calmly.
Lu Zheng's words did not give the Lu family any face.
Lin Yulan took the box handed over by Lu Zheng with some embarrassment, but her embarrassment was not because Lu Zheng did not save face for the Lu family, but because when they first met, Lu Zheng called her sister, but this time he changed his address to call her aunt.
I always feel something weird.
Su Jianwei silently glanced at Lu Zheng, who seemed unaware of the impact of his words, and silently took note in his heart that the relationship between Lu Zheng and the Lu family was extremely bad.
No one from the Lu family spoke, but Rong Wanting smiled and said, "Since the betrothal gift list has been brought over, it's a good opportunity to bring out our dowry list as well today."
"If the two children's marriages hadn't been a bit hasty, it wouldn't have been so simple."
Lu Hai didn't even look at Lu Zheng. He just said to Rong Wanting, "Shumei's dowry is still at the Lu family. Now that Lu Zheng is getting married, let's add his mother's dowry to the betrothal gifts."
Lu Hai didn't look at Lu Zheng, and Lu Zheng didn't look at Lu Hai either. He said bluntly, "It just so happens that I've memorized my mother's dowry list."
He looked at Su Jianwei, who was sitting opposite him and looking at him, and said, "Comrade Su, can you give me a pen? I'll add it now."
Everyone: ...
After Lu Zheng finished speaking, the entire living room, which could hold less than ten people, was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
"Okay." Su Jianwei broke the silence and walked towards his room.
When she left, she glanced at the people from the Lu family. Not to mention Lu Ping, even Lu Hai's face turned black.
Are you sure that Lu Zheng didn't come prepared with what he just said?
For him to humiliate his own father in such an occasion, are they really father and son rather than blood enemies?
While Lu Zheng was sitting in the restaurant with a pen in hand adding to the betrothal gifts, Mr. Zhou, Mr. Lu and others were sitting in the living room discussing wedding arrangements.
Seeing Lu Zheng sitting alone at the dining table, Su Jianwei poured a glass of water, walked over and placed it next to him, then sat opposite him.
"How long will it take to finish writing it?" Su Jianwei asked casually as he looked at the betrothal gift list that was already more than one meter long.
Lu Zheng said as he wrote, "It will probably take another half an hour."
"so much."
"It's not much. The Lu family may not be able to come up with it. If they can't, I'll ask them to make up for it with an equal amount of money or goods."
Lu Zheng never thought of letting his mother's dowry stay in the Lu family.
Lu Zheng's words that the Lu family couldn't afford it also explained a lot of problems.
Neither Lu Hai's original wife nor his current wife came from wealthy families. So, apart from Lu Hai's status, the only thing that allowed the Lu family to live such a comfortable life in the imperial capital was probably Du Shumei's dowry.
"My grandmother and my mother took over the wedding." Su Jianwei felt that he needed to say something.
After all, judging from what they both meant, they didn't intend to hold it simply, or rather, it wasn't as simple as Su Jianwei thought.
"You decide. I don't want the Lu family to interfere." Lu Zheng said, looking up at Su Jianwei, "I'll take you to see my grandfather later."
Su Jianwei nodded.
It is not difficult to see from Lu Zheng's few words that the only person in his family who is relatively important to him is probably his grandfather.
When Lu Zheng completed the betrothal gift list and handed it to Lin Yulan and Rong Wanting, Lin Yulan was dazzled by the list of properties, shops, jewelry, etc.
Rong Wanting looked at the list of betrothal gifts and smiled with satisfaction.
She handed the betrothal gift list to Lin Yulan, took out a red velvet box, and took out a folded red dowry list from it.
To be honest, this was the first time Su Jianwei had seen this dowry list. She didn't even know that she would have to make a dowry list today.
Rong Wanting did not give the dowry list to Lu Zheng, nor to Liu Jing or Lu Ping. She handed it directly to Lu Hai.
"Old Lu, you understand our family situation. Yu Jie'er is my only daughter, and I've been saving her dowry since she was a child. However, she hasn't wanted to remarry in recent years, so I decided to give it to Wei Wei."
Lu Ping and Liu Jing couldn't stop glancing at the dowry list. "So, these are two dowries, and there's quite a bit of my private collection in there over the years."
The reason why Zhou Shoujun is not mentioned is because of his special identity, so it is better not to involve him with these things.
Although Lu Hai was tall and strong, even with his arms outstretched, the dowry list was still not balanced.
He took a quick glance and admired in his heart that the Rong family was indeed worthy of the name, as the dowry they gave was so generous.
Lu Hai closed the dowry list and put it on the table and pushed it in front of Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng didn't even look at it, and handed it to Su Jianwei. "Since it's a dowry, it's yours. Even if I become your husband in the future, I have no right to touch it. Keep it for yourself."
Su Jianwei put it away.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that after Lu Zheng said this, the faces of the three people from the Lu family became a little darker.
Lu Zheng acted as if he hadn't noticed. He said to Zhou Shoujun, Rong Wanting, and Lin Yulan, "Mr. Zhou, I made an appointment with my grandfather to take Comrade Su to see her. I want to leave first."
Zhou Shoujun didn't refuse, but just looked at Su Jianwei and said, "Bring some gifts over."
Before Su Jianwei could speak, Lu Zheng, standing beside her, replied, "I've already prepared everything for her, don't worry."
Zhou Shoujun looked at Lu Zheng with satisfaction. It didn't matter whether Lu Hai liked Lu Zheng or not. As long as he liked Lu Zheng, Lu Hai would not favor one over the other in the future.
"Good boy, go ahead."
"Um."
When Lu Zheng took Su Jianwei away, the twins still brought a box to Su Jianwei.
Su Jianwei didn't feel the awkward and strange atmosphere gradually disappear until she got into Lu Zheng's car. She sat in the passenger seat and took a look at the box the twins gave her, which contained two bottles of Moutai.
"It's wine."
But then again, giving wine as a gift is not considered rude at all.
Lu Zheng said while driving: "My grandfather likes to drink."
Upon hearing this, Su Jianwei looked at the bag in his hand and realized that it was just what he wanted.
"Do you like fruit wine, old man? My mother makes delicious fruit wine."
"As long as it's wine, the old man likes it."
"Okay, I'll bring some to the old man when I have the chance."
Lu Zheng said seriously, "Thank you."
Lu Zheng's maternal home was quite some distance away from the main compound, and the Du family lived in a quadrangle courtyard, so it was difficult for a car to drive in. Lu Zheng had no choice but to park the car outside and take Su Jianwei in.
Lu Zheng was carrying a lot of bags in his hands. Seeing that there was no fruit, Su Jianwei bought some grapes, lychees and peaches at a nearby fruit stall. Together with the two bottles of Moutai, his hands finally looked decent.
The old man of the Du family knew early on that his grandson would be bringing his grandson's wife over, so when Lu Zheng and Su Jianwei just arrived at the entrance of the alley, they heard the uncles and aunts in the alley shouting towards a courtyard gate:
"Lao Du, your precious baby is back with his wife!"
