Chapter 350
"Most of the betrothal gifts were carefully prepared by my parents, and all the money I earn in the future will belong to you and our children."
Leng Zexi hugged Xia Ruoan tightly in his arms and spoke softly.
"As for the dowry, it is the love and care your parents and brothers have for you, and it is also the solid support they give you."
"After all, they are marrying off their daughter, but your parents' home will always be your safe haven." Leng Zexi explained gently while stroking Xia Ruoan's hair.
Xia Ruo'an raised her head slightly, stared into Leng Zexi's eyes, and slowly said, "No wonder my parents and my cousin insisted that what you gave was a betrothal gift, not just an ordinary gift. I didn't really understand the deep meaning of it."
"But now, after all that, I finally understand the difference between the two."
Leng Zexi smiled and nodded, expressing his agreement: "That's right, you are a rare treasure that our two families protect together, so you should have all the good things. What others have, you will naturally have too."
At this moment, Leng Zexi suddenly noticed a stack of cash placed beside him, so he reached out and picked it up, turned to look at Xia Ruoan, and asked curiously: "Is there two thousand yuan in it?"
Xia Ruoan looked over and replied with a smile, "No, only 1,800 yuan."
"Is that so... Then I'll give you another two hundred." Leng Zexi said as he pretended to take the wallet next to him.
Xia Ruoan quickly stopped him and explained, "No, no, no, no, there's no need to add more. There's already 200 yuan in here that Ning Ning was going to give me."
"The mental damage compensation is 500 yuan, 100 yuan for each of the three of them, and 200 yuan for me as a mother!" Xia Ruoan said with a beaming face, and she couldn't hold back her smile anymore and burst out laughing.
The laughter was clear and pleasant, echoing in the air like a silver bell.
When Leng Zexi, who was sitting next to him, heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.
Xia Ruoan looked at him and joked, "The five hundred yuan will be deducted from your pocket money next month."
After saying that, she winked at him.
As soon as Xia Ruo'an finished speaking, Leng Zexi was stunned at first, then he reacted and smiled helplessly: "I originally thought I could make a small profit, but in the end not only did I not make any profit, but I even had to pay you 500 yuan."
"It's simply like stealing a chicken and losing the rice!" However, despite complaining like this, there was no trace of regret on her face.
At this moment, Leng Zexi seemed to suddenly remember something, turned his head to look at his wife beside him, and asked curiously: "By the way, Ruo'an, speaking of which, how did Ning Ning realize that she had been deceived?"
"Ningning is a really good kid, very considerate!" Xia Ruoan turned to look at Leng Zexi beside him with a smile on her face and said softly.
However, Leng Zexi frowned slightly, thought for a moment and responded: "Well... it's not bad, but sometimes it can really make people angry to death."
Then, Xia Ruoan continued to talk excitedly: "My parents said they wanted to go out for a trip to relax, but Ning Ning thought that he was too naughty and made his grandparents unhappy, so they wanted to go out to relax."
"Then, this little guy actually offered to give his grandparents money so they could go out and have fun."
"And to prove that he had money, he even mentioned the pocket money he kept in his piggy bank, which jingled when he shook it."
Speaking of this, Xia Ruoan seemed to see Ningning's proud look at that time again, and couldn't help laughing out loud.
"Later, when we helped him calculate how much money was in his piggy bank, it was really funny."
"He had originally saved a full 1,500 yuan, but when he counted it out, he only had a pitiful 15 yuan!"
"Now Ningning burst into tears right there, mumbling 'how could this happen'. Even her parents couldn't stand it anymore and kept saying 'how could you cheat me like this?'"
As Xia Ruoan spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed, almost laughing to the point of choking. In the end, she simply leaned into Leng Zexi's warm embrace.
After hearing this interesting story, Leng Zexi showed a hint of surprise and smile on his face.
He shook his head and said helplessly: "I didn't expect it to be for this reason."
"But this sounds a bit familiar. When I was a kid, my dad often used similar tricks to cheat me out of my pocket money to buy cigarettes." After saying that, he glanced at Xia Ruoan with a hint of sarcasm.
Xia Ruo'an was stunned when he heard this, and then asked: "Ah, there is such a thing? What happened later?"
Leng Zexi patted her shoulder gently and consoled her: "Later, Dad was severely punished by Grandpa, Grandma and Mom, and was even punished to kneel down."
Xia Ruo'an looked at him worriedly and warned him, "Then you better be careful, otherwise you will be punished to kneel down and it will be terrible."
Leng Zexi shook his head gently, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile, and slowly said: "Don't worry, absolutely nothing will happen."
Xia Ruoan looked at him with confusion and asked, "Why?"
Leng Zexi replied calmly, "It's very simple. My father cheated me of my money just to buy cigarettes, but I cheated Ningning of my money for a special purpose."
"I told them that the money is used to carefully select gifts for you. In this way, not only will they not punish me, they may even generously transfer more money to me." As he spoke, Leng Zexi looked at Xia Ruoan gently, with a smile in his eyes.
Leng Zexi handed the phone in his hand to Xia Ruoan and motioned for her to look at the screen.
It turned out that just now, Lin Cai had sent the relevant video to the family group, and below it was Leng Zexi's detailed explanation, clearly stating that he did this entirely to save enough money to buy a gift for Ruoan.
As expected, those words full of blame disappeared without a trace in an instant, and were replaced by understanding and tolerance.
What’s even more surprising is that family members started transferring money to Leng Zexi.
Xia Ruo'an stared at the screen carefully for a while, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and exclaimed in astonishment: "Oh my God! You didn't lose anything here, you only lost 500 yuan, but everyone transferred a full 5 million to you at once!"
At this moment, she couldn't believe what was happening before her eyes.
After recovering from his shock, Xia Ruo'an couldn't help but recall his third brother's previous comments on Leng Zexi, and murmured to himself: "No wonder the third brother always said that you are a cunning businessman. Now it seems to be true."
However, just as Xia Ruoan was about to say something to Leng Zexi, he was suddenly interrupted by his next words.
Leng Zexi stared at her intently and said seriously, "All this money is yours."
Hearing this, Xia Ruo'an was stunned at first, and then asked in disbelief: "Really...are you really going to give me all of them?"
