No one at the table could sit still!
Tang Jingyuan would give double what the Gu family gave, which was no small amount.
Gu Yue stared at Tang Jingyuan's face, and his right hand unconsciously clenched the teacup.
Is he crazy?
Lu Anning quietly pulled Tang Jingyuan's clothes under the table. The items on the betrothal gift list were already priced sky-high, so why was he asking for more?
The big, broad hand held Lu Anning's right hand and patted it gently to reassure her.
He gently comforted Lu An Ning: "In my heart, you are a priceless treasure. No matter how many things I have, they cannot compare to you. These are nothing!"
Lu Anning's heart trembled, and she didn't want to think about how true his words were.
Based on her understanding of Tang Jingyuan, this promise might not be that simple.
Gu Zhiwei was skeptical. "Jingyuan, this is not a small amount. You must think it over carefully! Otherwise, I'll give you some time. You should go back and discuss it with Mr. Tang and then give me an answer. You two have a good relationship, and I don't want these formalities to ruin your relationship."
"No need. My marriage is my own decision. Just do as I say. Prepare double the amount of Ningning's dowry."
Gu Yue reminded again: "Think about it carefully. If my father puts the company shares in the dowry, won't you..."
"If Dad gives me 5% of the shares as a dowry, I'll take 10% of JK's shares as a betrothal gift. I won't break my promise!"
"Okay. In a few days, I'll prepare Ayue's dowry and send it over. Jingyuan, don't break your promise."
"It's a deal."
The deal was settled, and the result was much better than Gu Zhiwei had expected. He was extremely happy and dragged Tang Jingyuan and Gu Yue out for a drink. They didn't leave until it was completely dark.
Throughout the whole process, Lu Anning did not see Lu Yunxi's shadow.
When she left, she saw the servants carrying food upstairs, and she realized that Lu Yunxi had been upstairs the whole time. Gu Zhiwei had specifically told her that she was not in a state fit to be seen by others, so that was why he hadn't seen her.
In the yard, Lu Anning helped Tang Jingyuan get into the car and said goodbye to the Gu family one by one. He looked up inadvertently and happened to see a pair of eyes staring at them in front of the lighted floor-to-ceiling window on the second floor.
Although it was dark, she still recognized that it was Lu Yunxi.
She quickly looked away and got into the car without looking at her again.
The car slowly drove away from the villa. Lu Yunxi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the car disappear from her sight, and did not take her eyes off it for a long time.
The servants carefully arranged the food, and she turned around suddenly and stared at the maid who came in. The maid was frightened by Lu Yunxi's gloomy eyes, and she lowered her head quickly, not daring to speak.
Miss Gu Yao is completely different in private than in public. Just now, her eyes were so scary.
She walked closer to the maid step by step. The sumptuous dinner stung her eyes and she became angry when she thought of her current appearance.
Ji Yan clearly felt sorry for herself, but just now, she smiled so happily at Lu An Ning.
Lu Yunxi clenched her fists and suddenly grabbed the maid's chin, asking, "What did they talk about? Why are they so happy?"
The maid was frightened and didn't dare to lie: "The young lady and her husband came back for dinner and talked about the wedding. The husband promised the gentleman that he would prepare double the dowry of the Gu family. They had a very pleasant conversation, and both the gentleman and the lady were very happy."
Double the dowry!
There should be no one who doesn’t like this promise!
No wonder they were so happy, so happy that they forgot about themselves. They kept saying that they didn't like Lu An Ning, but she just coaxed them away with a few words.
And Tang Jingyuan...
How could he be so generous to Lu An Ning!
Why couldn't she meet such a good man?
She must not lose to Lu Anning!
Coming to her senses, she threw the maid away with all her strength: "Get out!"
In the car, Lu Anning looked at Tang Jingyuan who was resting with his eyes closed and rolled his eyes at him unhappily.
"Is this what you mean by reassuring me? You might as well just give them all your wealth."
Tang Jingyuan sneered and pulled the person into his arms: "I didn't say anything, but you started to feel sorry for me."
"Double! In case they come up with more, you have to prepare double. Have you ever thought about how much it might be?"
"A large dowry is better."
It’s too little, and he’s too lazy to bother with it.
Lu Anning just thought he was talking drunkenly. That was what Tang Jingyuan had worked hard for, and she couldn't just watch him give it away because of her.
"This is it! When I get back, I'll tell them that the wedding is off. I don't want any formalities. You can't explain it to Grandpa, so I'll go and talk to him myself."
"No need. The wedding should be a grand one, and the highlight is coming later. You don't have to do anything, just wait to receive the dowry!"
Tang Jingyuan was firm in his attitude, and Lu Anning had no choice but to wait and see.
At night, the Gu family villa was brightly lit. Thinking of Tang Jingyuan's promise, no one could sleep.
In the study, Gu Zhiwei and Gu Yue sat opposite each other, both father and son with frowns on their faces.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Zhiwei spoke up: "Ayue, what do you think about what Tang Jingyuan said tonight? Is it true or false?"
"Since he has made a promise, he must keep it. Perhaps he has deep feelings for Ayue."
"No matter what, if he's willing, don't blame me, his father-in-law, for being rude. Double it. Ten percent of the shares..."
"Dad, if you give me 10%, then Yue will have 20% of the shares."
Gu Zhiwei was stunned: "That... still won't work. With that girl's personality, she'll definitely take advantage of you. I have to hand the company over to you to feel at ease."
Gu Yue smiled bitterly. This wasn't what he was worried about. He never doubted his sister's ability to work. He just felt that doing this was like selling her out.
Is it really appropriate to calculate like this?
Gu Zhiwei still adjusted his shares to 5% and continued to list the dowry, already calculating how much betrothal gifts he would receive. When he looked up, he saw Gu Yue lowering his head and not saying a word, which made him a little puzzled.
"What are you doing? The plan went better than we expected, you should be happy. Ah Yue, I will leave these things to you from now on."
Gu Yue frowned and expressed the doubts in his heart.
"Dad, is it really okay for us to scheme against my little sister like this? She just came back, and I feel like we're selling her out."
Suddenly, the study became completely quiet.
