Cheng Yun smiled, unmoved, and flipped through the gift list, nodding with satisfaction.
When he looked at the Cheng family, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"It's me who's getting married, but the betrothal gift is given to you. Cheng Shizhong, are you selling your daughter?"
this……
Cheng Shizhong became furious on the spot.
But it's not a good idea to be too hostile in front of the palace steward.
His face flushed red, and he suppressed his anger and started arguing with Cheng Yun.
"Cheng Yun, the Cheng family has already given you 10 million as a dowry. This gift is for your parents' family, you can't take it."
Pan Xiaolian also said: "Yes, your family has already given you a dowry of 10 million. The betrothal gift from the Gong family is your in-laws' compensation for your natal family's dowry."
Cheng Weiwei said pitifully, "Sister, it's not easy for our family to raise the dowry. You should also understand Dad's hard work."
"Oh……"
Cheng Yun smiled.
If she hadn't used this as a threat, she probably wouldn't have received a single cent of dowry.
"Housekeeper Gong, is this betrothal gift really for my parents' family?" Cheng Yun asked.
The bride in front of me is quite beautiful, but her heart... is not so good.
He wants to keep all the dowry and gifts for himself. He is quite greedy.
The palace steward said calmly, "When I came here, the old man instructed me to bring the betrothal gifts to the bride's family."
This time, Cheng Shizhong became proud.
"The palace steward said that the betrothal gift is for the bride's family. Do you understand now?"
Cheng Weiwei and Pan Xiaolian rolled their eyes with disdain.
Just when they thought that Cheng Yun couldn't win the argument and had to hand over the betrothal gift obediently.
Cheng Yun's words shocked the whole audience.
She smiled and said lightly.
"In that case, I declare that I, Cheng Yun, sever ties with the Cheng family."
If you don’t have a mother’s family, you don’t have to give it.
The palace steward, who had seen a lot of storms, was stunned for a moment, frowned, and looked at this young lady with a different eye.
Breaking off ties with family for money, that's unacceptable!
"What did you say!"
Cheng Shizhong was so angry that he could no longer bear it.
"You unfilial son, you actually said such words for the sake of the betrothal gift!!!"
"I...how could I have such an unfilial daughter like you!"
"Cheng Yun, your father is in poor health. Are you going to be satisfied only if you make him suffer?" Pan Xiaolian scolded with a dark face.
"Sister, what you said really upset Dad. You should apologize to Dad."
"Dad, don't be angry. It's not good for your health if you get angry. I'll go get you a glass of water."
Cheng Weiwei used the excuse of going to pour water, but actually she was calling her brothers to ask for help.
"Brother, something bad has happened. My sister wants to sever ties with the Cheng family in order to get the betrothal gift. Please come back soon."
"She's really going too far. I'm going back right away!"
…
In the living room, Cheng Yun spoke word by word.
"I, Chen Yun, left the Cheng family when I was five years old. As for the reason, I won't mention it because it's a family scandal that shouldn't be made public."
"I don't owe the Cheng family anything."
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Shizhong's face turned red with anger and suddenly became strange.
Unexpectedly, she remembered what happened back then so clearly.
"You... no matter what, the Cheng family is always your mother's family, and this will never change in this lifetime!"
"Heh..."
If it weren't for the betrothal gift, Cheng Shizhong would not have said such high-sounding words.
"Ask yourself, do any of you consider me family?"
"No!"
"I, Cheng Yun, don't need a family like you, a father like you.
"You guys don't deserve it!"
After saying that, Cheng Yun lifted the hem of her wedding dress and walked out of the Cheng family without looking back, without a trace of nostalgia in her back.
Pan Xiaolian grabbed Cheng Shizhong's arm anxiously.
"Husband, that girl took the betrothal gift away, what should we do?"
Cheng Shizhong was at his wit's end. The girl was unyielding and like a stubborn donkey, he couldn't control her at all.
He placed his last glimmer of hope on the palace steward.
"Housekeeper, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
"That girl took the betrothal gift away. Please judge for yourself."
Looking at the mess in the Cheng family, Butler Gong wisely chose not to get involved.
"Mr. Cheng, I'm just an outsider. It's not convenient for me to interfere in your family affairs."
"The auspicious time has arrived. It's time for me to go back. Goodbye."
After saying that, the palace steward turned and left.
Pan Xiaolian was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
"Oh, why are they all gone?"
"Husband, what should we do now?"
Cheng Shizhong felt very troubled, but he was reluctant to give up the betrothal gift from the Gong family.
"I'll go find her and get the betrothal gift back."
Having said that, he chased after him.
But when he reached the door, the car had already driven away for a long time. He came back dejected after finding nothing.
"Alas, that girl is gone."
"What should we do? That girl extorted 10 million from our family, and now the betrothal gift has been taken away. Our family has suffered a heavy loss this time."
Pan Xiaolian's heart was bleeding.
"As long as Weiwei doesn't have to marry to bring good luck, that would be the best."
Now that things have come to this, I can only find excuses to comfort myself.
"I'll find a way to get that girl to return the money she took later," said Cheng Shizhong.
…
In the car, Cheng Yun looked at the betrothal gifts and the ten million yuan she had received and smiled.
The Gong family's gift money was generous: over 20 million in cash, a Koenigsegg worth half a hundred million, a house in the city center worth tens of millions, and a large amount of jewelry and brand names...
She decided to take good care of her dying husband, one day at a time.
After all, if you take someone else's betrothal gift, you have to fulfill your responsibilities.
