Upon hearing this, Shen Jiajia was immediately horrified. She had already used the betrothal money to buy several houses and shops. Now she was asked to return it intact. How could it be possible?!
Even if she sells the house and shop, the money will be cut in half. Does she have to pay for it herself?
"Chen Yuan, how could you go back on your word? You clearly boasted that you would find your biological parents within a month, and if they couldn't find them, the betrothal gift would belong to us. Now you bring him here to ask for it back. Do you have any shame?"
Hearing this, Chen Yuan sneered. If she remembered correctly, the betrothal gift list seemed to have been stolen by them?
So what if that's the case? If it's not given by yourself, what's the difference between that and robbery?
"I said so, and didn't I do it? Besides, didn't Ah Sui say that it was an agreement between us and had nothing to do with him? So even if he wants it, there's nothing I can do."
Shen Yuan shrugged, looking helpless.
Shen Jiajia was so angry that her eyes widened. This bitch has learned to shirk responsibility!
"That won't work! The betrothal gift list is already ours, so there's no reason to take it back after giving it away!"
Hearing this, Shen Yuan suddenly found it funny. Wouldn’t she blush when she said this?
"Are you sure I gave it to you?"
Shen Jiajia was stunned for a moment and suddenly felt guilty.
"What else? Could it be that I stole it?!"
She said this with confidence, of course she didn't steal it.
Chen Yuan frowned, turned around to look at Gu Jisui, lowered her voice, and sounded like she was acting coquettishly.
"What can I do if my sister doesn't want to? Ah Sui, otherwise just forget it and give the money to my sister."
Gu Jisui was stunned for a moment, then immediately cooperated, "How can that be? That's the betrothal gift I gave you. No one can take it away without my permission."
He looked at Qin Hongxiao and said slowly, "Madam Qin, you don't plan to return this betrothal gift, right?"
Qin Hongxiao twitched her lips when she heard that. "No, we are relatives after all. It's not nice to make such a fuss. Besides, even if there was no bet, Chen Yuan should have given us the betrothal gift."
Gu Jisui frowned. "If I remember correctly, Madam Qin said this morning that she didn't want the betrothal gift anymore, right? Why is she refusing to return it now?"
Qin Hongxiao was suddenly speechless and regretted it so much. Why did she say such things to them?
"No, I..." She moved her lips, but didn't know what to say, so she turned around and looked at Shen Jiajia.
"Jia Jia, go get the betrothal gift list and return it to your brother-in-law."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiajia widened her eyes. Why?
"mom!"
"Go and get it out!" Qin Hongxiao shouted angrily, interrupting Shen Jiajia.
Shen Jiajia was helpless. She glared at Shen Yuan fiercely and turned to go upstairs.
But after a while, she came back. Shen Jiajia looked unconvinced and slammed the betrothal gift list heavily on the table.
Chen Yuan paused, picked up the betrothal gift list, and said deliberately, "Sister, anger is harmful to your health."
This sentence made Shen Jiajia even more furious, but she was unwilling to act rashly.
As soon as Shen Yuan got the betrothal gift list, she called the person in charge. When she heard that she asked someone to check the amount on the betrothal gift list, Shen Jiajia immediately panicked.
"Chen Yuan! After all, you grew up in the Shen family. Are you still afraid that we will take away the money?"
That's hard to say. Chen Yuan curled the corners of her mouth and said, "No, I just want Ah Sui to believe that you have no thoughts about my betrothal gift."
"You!" Qin Hongxiao was so angry that she was speechless, but she still looked upright and had nothing to do with it. She had no idea that the betrothal money had already been reduced by half.
After a while, the person in charge sent the bill over. The original balance of one million was reduced to only tens of thousands of yuan.
Chen Yuan handed the bill to Gu Jisui, who frowned. Qin Hongxiao also noticed something was wrong.
Just as she was making random guesses, Gu Jisui's cold voice came to her ears.
"Mrs. Qin, if I remember correctly, there should be a million yuan in it. How come there are only 90,000 yuan left now?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Hongxiao, who was completely unaware of the situation, suddenly widened his eyes.
"How is that possible! I never touched the money in there!"
Chen Yuan sneered, "Just because you haven't touched it doesn't mean others haven't touched it either." She looked at Shen Jiajia, who had been silent the whole time, and said, "Isn't that right, sister?"
Qin Hongxiao looked at the panicked face and suddenly realized what was going on.
Shen Jiajia's eyes dodged, "I, I don't understand what you are saying."
Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Really? Then I'll have to find someone to check the records."
As she spoke, she pretended to make a phone call. Shen Jiajia immediately became restless and said, "So what if I took it? I've already spent it. You don't have it even if you want it."
Shen Yuan frowned. How could she be so righteous?
"Well, then it all depends on how Ah Sui wants to deal with it." She looked helpless. Qin Hongxiao panicked immediately after hearing that.
"Chen Yuan! Don't forget where you grew up. You've been eating my food and using my things all these years. Even if you give this small amount of money to the Shen family, what good will it do? This little money is not even enough to cover your expenses over the years!"
Shen Yuan sneered. How could she not know that she had spent so much money in the Shen family over the years?
She had long expected Qin Hongxiao to bring this up, so Shen Yuan took out a notebook from her bag.
"Every expense I've made at the Shen family over the years is recorded here. You can see for yourself that the money Shen Jiajia spends is no less than what I spend!"
Qin Hongxiao was stunned. She didn't expect that Chen Yuan was already prepared. For a moment she didn't know what to say.
"Madam Qin, I will have someone pay you for Chen Yuan's expenses at your house, but you must return the betrothal money to me in full, otherwise don't blame me for being rude."
Qin Hongxiao frowned when she heard that. Although she was very angry, she didn't dare to say anything more and had to agree.
"Three days. I'll transfer the money within three days."
Hearing this, Shen Jiajia's face turned green with anger, "Mom, why?"
"Shut up!"
Qin Hongxiao, who always obeyed her, yelled at her for the first time, and Shen Jiajia was stunned.
Gu Jisui stood up, pulled Chen Yuan and said, "Then I'll give you three days. It's getting late, so Yuan Yuan and I won't disturb you."
After saying that, Gu Jisui pulled Chen Yuan to leave the Shen family. Zhao Siyu, who had been silent all the time, became furious after understanding the whole story.
"Chen Yuan! You seduced me in the back garden today just to get some information!"
Hearing this, Chen Yuan didn't want to pay attention to him, but Gu Jisui frowned and looked very unhappy.
He turned around and stared at Zhao Siyu, "What else? Do you think my wife would be interested in someone like you?"
"you!"
