Shen Jialiang glanced back at Chen Meiyuan with a faint look in his eyes.
"Is it a lot? When Dad married you, he gave about the same amount of dowry."
Chen Meiyuan didn't think the amount was too much; on the contrary, she felt it was a bit too little.
After all, the Chen family is the richest family in the world!
However, children and grandchildren have their own destinies, and Chen Meiyuan doesn't worry about their own affairs; she only needs to provide the money!
Chen Jiayi originally thought that Shen Jialiang and his family would arrive in two days, but she didn't expect to see them in the afternoon after they parted at noon.
She blinked in confusion, then realized that the Shen family had indeed come to propose marriage.
Shen Jialiang and his group arrived carrying large and small bags. At first, the Chen family didn't know why the Shen family had come, until they saw the five-wheeled vehicle and the sound system, and then they realized that what Chen Jiayi said was true.
The Shen family really did come to propose marriage.
The two families sat down together to discuss the engagement and wedding arrangements.
Chen Jiayi sat to the side listening, somewhat dazed.
It turns out that my parents can calmly discuss financial matters with each other and even accept not having a bride price.
It turns out the other party took it so seriously, instead of lowering the bride price again and again just to reduce it.
Seeing that Chen Jiayi remained silent, Shen Jialiang raised an eyebrow and reached out to pat her head.
"What's wrong?"
Upon hearing Shen Jialiang's voice, Chen Jiayi raised her head with some suspicion, looking at Shen Jialiang with pure eyes.
Have you told your family that I'm divorced?
Shen Jialiang paused for a moment, then said, "Not yet. I was too busy today and didn't have time to say."
Shen Jialiang originally wanted to tell his mother, but he was worried that she would disagree.
He thought he should get engaged first and then tell Chen Meiyuan.
Seeing that Shen Jialiang hadn't told his mother yet, Chen Jiayi was a little worried.
"How about I go and tell them now, otherwise your family won't know about this?"
Shen Jialiang reached out and grabbed her hand. "Hey! No need. My mom doesn't know yet, but my dad does."
"That won't work! Your dad knows, but your mom doesn't?"
After Chen Jiayi finished speaking, she shook off Shen Jialiang's hand and prepared to tell Shen Jialiang's mother.
The Shen and Chen families in the living room had finished discussing all the arrangements for the engagement and wedding.
Seeing Chen Jiayi walk over, Chen Meiyuan smiled.
"Jiayi's here! We've almost finished our talk! Auntie, get ready..."
"Auntie!" Chen Jiayi interrupted Chen Meiyuan. Chen Meiyuan was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at Chen Jiayi with a puzzled expression.
“Auntie, I heard from Shen Jialiang that he hasn’t told you about my divorce yet. I think as his mother, you have the right to know this in advance.”
"……What?"
Chen Meiyuan was somewhat incredulous.
Didn't they say those were just rumors?
Is it true that Chen Jiayi is divorced?
Chen Meiyuan had heard about this before, but only heard rumors. Now she suddenly realized that it wasn't true...
Everything was arranged, and the engagement money had been paid.
Suddenly tell her that her future daughter-in-law is divorced?
Chen Meiyuan looked at Shen Jialiang with cold eyes. Seeing Shen Jialiang's calm expression, she immediately realized that Shen Jialiang had deliberately not told her in advance.
Now that everything has been discussed and agreed upon before telling her, she can't very well just take all her things away, can she?
Chen Meiyuan couldn't help but wonder if it was intentional.
If I had told her from the beginning, she would definitely have objected.
Just like when she first learned that Chen Jiayi was divorced, she felt that her son deserved a better woman.
Later, she heard it was a rumor... Now the person involved tells her it's not true...
For a moment, Chen Meiyuan's mind was in a state of confusion.
An awkward atmosphere descended upon the scene, with everyone watching Chen Meiyuan's reaction.
The Chen couple exchanged a glance, completely unprepared for this turn of events…
Shen Jialiang didn't tell his family about this?
Upon seeing this, Shen Jialiang immediately stepped forward.
"Mom, this was my oversight; I forgot to tell you."
His tone was sincere, tinged with apology.
Chen Meiyuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay...it's okay...hahahaha..."
So what if she's divorced?
Chen Meiyuan quickly accepted this, and the two families happily continued their meal.
Seeing that Shen Jialiang's mother didn't react, Chen Jiayi felt something was off.
She felt that Chen Meiyuan was uncomfortable, after all, like Ding Haowen's mother, she felt that she was not good enough for Ding Haowen, and the bride price was lowered again and again.
Everyone except Chen Meiyuan ate a bad meal; everyone else seemed to enjoy it.
Before leaving the Chen family, Chen Meiyuan was always smiling.
After leaving the Chen family, Chen Meiyuan's face immediately fell as she sat in the car.
"Shen Jialiang, you've been subtly hinting at things to me, trying to make me believe those rumors are unreliable. Now that Chen Jiayi is indeed divorced, how are you going to explain that?"
Seeing that his wife was angry, Shen Gangpeng quickly reached out to coax her.
"Honey, don't be angry..."
"Shut up! I'll settle your score with you later!"
Chen Meiyuan glared fiercely at Shen Gangpeng!
If you say Shen Gangpeng didn't know about this, Chen Meiyuan would never believe it even if you beat her to death.
Shen Jialiang drove calmly, and when he saw that Chen Meiyuan's attitude was a bit intense, he simply said something in a flat tone.
"Mom, your grandparents didn't approve of you marrying my dad either. They always spoke ill of him back then, but you still married him, didn't you?"
The Shen family has indeed prospered for generations, but Chen Meiyuan comes from an ordinary family.
At that time, Chen Meiyuan's parents felt that it was not good for Chen Meiyuan to marry into an upper class. Everyone said that marrying into an upper class was like swallowing needles, and they all disagreed with Chen Meiyuan marrying Shen Gangpeng.
Chen Meiyuan insisted on her own way, and after marrying him, Shen Gangpeng proved on his own that he could treat his wife very well.
Chen Meiyuan was so angry that her face turned red.
"Can these be considered the same?"
After saying that, Chen Meiyuan was so angry that she made Shen Jialiang stop the car.
"parking!"
Seeing that Shen Jialiang didn't stop the car, Chen Meiyuan opened the car door directly, as if she was about to jump out.
Shen Jialiang and Shen Gangpeng were startled and quickly stopped the car.
After getting out of the car, Chen Meiyuan hailed another car and left.
Shen Gangpeng originally wanted to leave with them, but Chen Meiyuan glared at him fiercely!
"Shen Gangpeng, you and your son are the family, I'm just an outsider!"
Shen Gangpeng quickly explained, "Oh, wife, how could that be! It was my fault. It was your son's idea, it has nothing to do with me!"
"Wife, wife! Wait for me, don't go!"
Chen Meiyuan simply told the driver to drive away.
"I'm going back to my hometown, don't come with me."
Her voice was harsh, giving the impression that I was very angry.
Shen Jialiang pursed his lips, feeling guilty.
But he didn't know what had made Chen Meiyuan so angry...
Shen Jialiang thought about several questions and finally decided to ask Chen Jiayi.
Chen Jiayi and Chen Meiyuan are both women, so they must know where the problem lies.
It was too late that day, so Shen Jialiang invited Chen Jiayi out for tea the next day.
