As the saying goes, dating without the intention of getting married is hooliganism.
Since you are dating, you are definitely aiming for marriage.
Zhang Siyi blushed slightly.
"Dad, why are you saying this all of a sudden? It's like I have to marry him, like I'm being forced into marriage."
Having said that, Zhang Siyi's expression was another matter. She looked at Cheng Haonan with anticipation, waiting for his answer.
As the saying goes, men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough, and there is nothing wrong with that.
Since they are dating, Cheng Haonan will not avoid the issue of marriage.
He thought for a long time.
At the same time, Zhang Siyi's expression changed from expectation at the beginning to nervousness.
"Now, the Cheng family's company has long since gone bankrupt and is no longer as strong as it once was. My own job doesn't pay much, but it's enough for me to spend, but if I want to get married..."
Zhang Siyi's expression changed, and she said solemnly, "Don't say that. It's a different era now, and my father isn't a pedantic person. He won't ask you for a high bride price."
"You said so, Dad."
Zhang Siyi's words in front of everyone were clearly an attempt to lift a rock and drop it on her father.
If it were an ordinary father, his eyes would probably be popping up to the sky.
The daughter he raised with great effort not only failed to grow up, but was also so disappointing when it came to the issue of the bride price, which really brought shame to him.
No matter what, he is in a high position now, and he doesn't even have a dowry to marry his daughter off. Where is his face?
Just when everyone thought that Director Zhang would probably give Cheng Haonan a warning on the issue of betrothal gifts and ask for a large sum of betrothal gifts,
The Cheng family company went bankrupt, but they had a sister who married into a wealthy family. She could make money just by moving her fingers.
Director Zhang just looked at his daughter lovingly, shook his head helplessly and sighed.
"Alas, a girl can't be kept at home when she grows up."
"Whether she's married or single, as long as my daughter is happy, I, as a father, will be satisfied."
"As for the betrothal gifts and dowry, they are given to you to support your new home. They are not in my hands. You young people can handle them yourselves."
this……
This answer caught everyone present off guard.
While admiring his ideological awareness, I secretly gave him a thumbs up in my heart.
What a sensible father! If all fathers were to think about their children in this way, there would be fewer people in the world who fear marriage, and the birth rate would certainly increase.
When Zhang Siyi heard that both the betrothal gift and the dowry were theirs, she changed her mind on the spot.
"No, although that's true, it wasn't easy for my family to raise me. The gift can't be too small, otherwise how can I repay my parents' kindness in raising me."
"Cheng Haonan, let me tell you, the betrothal gift cannot be lower than this amount."
Zhang Siyi raised five fingers on the spot and winked at Cheng Haonan frantically.
They had known each other for several years and had been dating for a year, and the tacit understanding between them allowed Cheng Haonan to understand what she meant at a glance.
Since she asked for such a high price, he would not let her family cheat him out of such a large dowry.
After all, no one's money comes from the wind.
"I have no objection to the amount of the betrothal gift."
"But what about the dowry?"
"I don't know anything else, but when Cheng Yun got married, I gave her 10 million as a dowry, and that was just cash."
"It's just 10 million. Our family's salary won't be lower than yours." Zhang Siyi said confidently.
"Dad, you said so, right?"
Cheng Yun clearly saw the cunning flash in Zhang Siyi's eyes.
On the surface, they were discussing the betrothal gifts and dowry.
In fact, it was clear that these two people wanted to get married and make money at the same time.
Young people nowadays are so bad.
Director Zhang's expression could no longer remain calm. Not only did he lose the girl, but he also had to pay a sky-high dowry.
He really suspected that he must have owed Zhang Siyi in his previous life, and she was going to cheat him in this life.
However, this also indirectly proves that before the decline of the Cheng family, they were able to give their daughter a dowry of 10 million.
But on second thought, the betrothal gift given by the Gong family will definitely be more.
But the current Cheng family is no longer the Cheng family of the past.
"There's no rush for this matter. After we finish dealing with things here, we'll return to the Magic City and sit down with our two families to talk it over."
"Let's eat first."
Cheng Haonan was suddenly going to marry Director Zhang's daughter, and the two families were suddenly going to become relatives.
…
Gong Zhan didn't say a word during the entire meal from the beginning to the end.
However, Zhang Siyi asked Cheng Yun a lot of questions about children. Women always have endless things to talk about.
After all, she was Cheng Haonan's girlfriend, so Cheng Yun couldn't refuse her enthusiasm.
When they parted, the two had already chatted very familiarly and left their contact information with each other.
On the way back, Cheng Yun couldn't help but ask her doubts.
"What's wrong with you today? You look unhappy."
That’s because Gong Zhan has always had doubts in his heart.
The child was blatantly snatched away in Shanghai, and the person fled all the way across half the world.
After the incident, he immediately took action, but even so, he still failed to stop the child.
"I was so busy looking for my child that I overlooked a very important issue. Looking back now, it always seems suspicious."
After Gong Zhan said this, Cheng Yun also felt that there was something wrong.
"We learned about the incident very quickly and took immediate action. Now is the internet age, and efficiency is high. But the child was still sent so far away."
“It’s terrifying when you think about it.”
This time, they thought of the same thing.
It’s just because they each knew in their hearts how much manpower, material resources and financial resources they had spent in order to save their child.
"No matter what, the best thing is that the child is safe."
"It's just that I never want to experience something like this again."
Cheng Yun, who has always been aloof, now looks lovingly at the sleeping child in her arms.
She gave him all her tenderness, but she still felt it was not enough.
Perhaps, this is the feeling of powerlessness when loving someone unconditionally.
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Gong Zhan looked at Cheng Yun, who was pregnant, and the child, and made a decision in his heart.
"It's better to kill someone by mistake than to let him go. This matter must be thoroughly investigated, and any threat that exists must not be overlooked."
…
The next afternoon.
Cheng Yun was accompanying her child in the hotel. Just as she coaxed the child to sleep, Cheng Haonan suddenly came.
Chu Chengyun looked at him with some confusion.
"Aren't you going to deal with the Meng Family Arms Company? Why are you here at this time?"
When talking about this matter, Cheng Haonan was overwhelmed.
"Don't mention it. My boss and Gong Zhan had a disagreement about how to deal with the arms company."
