After the banquet.
Ning Jiaojiao pulled Wang Zijue upstairs to the room and asked aggrievedly, "Zijue, why didn't you tell me about moving the engagement party up today?"
If he had told her in advance, she wouldn't feel as aggrieved as she does now.
Wang Zijue smiled and pulled her into his arms, "Okay, Jiaojiao, don't be angry. Didn't my mom explain everything? I thought you would be happier if I got engaged to you sooner, so I didn't tell you. Now, I thought you're still unhappy."
In fact, it was his mother who asked him not to say anything for the time being, as she wanted to see Jiaojiao's ability to deal with it.
Their family is the new rich in Nanling City, not one of those small families. The future hostess must not only be smart but also have sensible and tolerant attitude.
Ning Jiaojiao bit her lip. It turned out to be just as she had guessed.
This is his mother's deliberate warning.
Hiding the displeasure in her eyes, Ning Jiaojiao said softly, "How can I be unhappy? I just think that 520 is the day we fell in love. You didn't tell me in advance that it suddenly changed. I thought you were dissatisfied with me."
After Ning Jiaojiao finished speaking, she punched Wang Zijue on the chest.
Wang Zijue grabbed it and said with a smile: "I am only 100% satisfied with you, otherwise I would not come to your house today to propose marriage. Jiaojiao, don't think too much, we can still celebrate another anniversary in the future."
He was about to kiss Ning Jiaojiao when she stopped him, "There are still many people waiting downstairs. I can't mess up my makeup."
"Okay, I'll deal with you when we get back to Nanling City."
As soon as they opened the door, they saw Ning Meng raising her hand to knock on the door.
Ning Jiaojiao was stunned for a moment, a little embarrassed, "Sister, are you looking for us?"
"Well, they are looking for you, hurry down."
"good."
Ning Meng breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them coming down the stairs.
She quickly entered her parents' room.
She started rummaging through the drawers and found that one of them was locked.
She dug out the unlocked drawer below and found the household registration book she was looking for. "Luckily it's not locked."
Quickly pull out your phone to take a picture, then put it back.
Left my parents' room.
The main reason she came back this time was for the household registration book. She had many guests to entertain today, and it was the best opportunity if no one noticed her.
When she walked past here just now, she heard a sound coming from Ning Jiaojiao's room, so she pretended to knock on the door.
But the two families downstairs have almost finished their conversation.
Zhou Yan, who was downstairs, was unhappy when he saw Ning Jiaojiao and his son coming down. He guessed that Ning Jiaojiao had gone to question his son.
"It's time for us to say goodbye. We still have to go back and prepare for the engagement banquet. You can come to Nanling City a day in advance and ask the Viscount to book a hotel for you."
Zhou Yan said goodbye to the Ning family, and the whole family saw them out the door.
Li Meili smiled and said goodbye, "Then I won't keep you here. Have a nice trip."
Zhang Yan glanced at Ning Meng who was coming down the stairs behind her and said with a smile:
"Okay, but I still have to say a few more words. Many of the people who came to attend our Viscount's engagement party that day were well-known figures in Nanling City. Perhaps it would be more appropriate for everyone to wear formal attire." After saying that, he got into the car.
"Aha, of course."
Li Meili had something to understand, so she immediately turned around and looked at Ning Meng with disgust.
When the neighbors saw that all the guests of the Ning family had left, they also dispersed.
Ning Meng didn't listen to what they said and walked straight to Ning Zhou.
"Azhou, please lend me your laptop. I have some work to do."
Ning Zhou nodded and went to get it. "Okay, but you have to hurry up. I need it later. Sister, your job doesn't pay well. Why do you have to work overtime during holidays? You should just find another company to work for."
Ning Meng didn't respond. There was no need to explain to someone who had never been in society and had never been beaten.
Li Meili walked in and glared at Ning Meng, "Next time you attend Jiaojiao's engagement party, buy something decent to wear. You've already been criticized for dressing like this today!"
It makes me angry just thinking about it. She has brought shame to the Ning family.
Ning Meng nodded and held out her hand, "Okay, give me the money."
Li Meili was speechless for a moment, then she started cursing: "Money, money, money, what else can you do besides asking for money? I'll transfer another 2,000 to you to save you from embarrassment later."
After saying that, he transferred 2,000 yuan to Ning Meng.
Ning Meng collected it in one second.
Ning Jiaojiao walked in and glanced at the betrothal gifts in the living room. "Mom, I need Dad to drive to the store to deposit these betrothal gifts."
Li Meili immediately put on a smile and said, "Yes, Ning Dahai, put the money in the car and deposit it in the bank. I'll go get the bank card."
Ning Jiaojiao: "No need, Mom, I have a bank card here, just deposit it into my card."
This betrothal gift was originally given to her, so of course it should be deposited in her card.
Li Meili was stunned. Before she could say anything, Ning Zhou, who had taken down the notebook, frowned and said, "Sister, this betrothal gift is from the Wang family to my parents. It's not appropriate for you to save it on your card."
Ning Jiaojiao's expression suddenly changed. "This betrothal gift is for me. I have to take it back to the Wang family later. This is the rule in Nanling City. Otherwise, how will the Wang family view us?"
Ning Zhou put the notebook on the table and said, "Since ancient times, betrothal gifts have been used as compensation for parents raising their daughters. Regardless of the rules of Nanling City, this is the rule here. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste for Mom to send you to the 200,000 yuan a year aristocratic college?"
"Mom sent you to an aristocratic school. Why don't you say that it was all in vain?" Ning Jiaojiao suddenly became angry.
"I'm different. I'm a son and I have to provide for my parents in their old age. You're not even married yet and you're already thinking about your husband's family. You won't be able to rely on them in the future."
Ning Jiaojiao was very angry with her younger brother. Seeing that her father was frowning and silent again, she immediately ran to Li Meili in a coquettish manner.
"Mom! Look how harsh his words are. Am I that kind of unfilial person? I will also provide for your old age after I get married."
Li Meili glanced at her and said, "Jiaojiao, I'll save the betrothal money for you first. It's not safe for a girl like you to carry so much money. I'll give it to you when you get married."
Ning Jiaojiao immediately quit. She had already been wronged about today's engagement banquet, and her family hadn't gotten it for her.
Now she has to hand over the betrothal money, which she refuses to do.
"Mom, I must save this betrothal money for myself. I don't want to be like my sister, who has to ask you for money every time she sells a piece of clothing."
Ning Meng, who was about to go upstairs with her laptop:...Haha!
Her sister is smart!
With her as a "good example", I finally realized that it is easy for money to come into the house, but difficult to spend it out.
Li Meili's face darkened immediately, and she pointed at Ning Jiaojiao and asked loudly:
"What do you mean? Your father and I worked so hard to raise you. Even if we didn't do anything for you, we worked so hard. From childhood to adulthood, what did we not buy for you? Just your tuition fees in the past few years are hundreds of thousands of yuan, and your father still worked hard from dawn to dusk to earn money for you.
Do you think we would covet your hundreds of thousands of betrothal gifts? Jiaojiao, check your conscience, your words are really hurtful! "
After Li Meili finished cursing, her eyes turned red with anger.
