Chapter 64: Dowry
Wen Ning shook her head, probably dazzled.
How could her poor sister have the chance to ride in such a luxurious car?
She arrogantly left all her cards at the Wen family and left without taking anything with her, then she wanted to break off the engagement with Yu An.
There is no other possibility for her to turn her life around except marrying a dying old man to inherit his estate.
Women who are outside the wealthy circle all dream of turning themselves into successful individuals one day, but those in the circle know best the strict hierarchy of the class system.
The Wen family could marry into the Sheng family, but they are definitely not as good as the Fu family, the Huo family, and the Fei family.
So Wen Ning could only catch Sheng Yu'an, who was at the top of the middle class circle.
And Wen Yu, a woman who abandoned herself and left her family, will only get further and further away from her and completely disappear from her life.
After figuring all this out, Wen Ning's jealousy gradually subsided.
Tonight is the welcoming banquet for the little princess of the Fu family, and she was able to come because of Sheng Shutang's relationship.
"Ningning, you're here!" Sheng Shutang pulled his friend in with an eager look on his face.
She introduced the two, "Jiaxin, this is me, Ningning, my childhood friend. This is my cousin, Jiaxin."
Because of Fu Wenying's relationship, the two families became close.
Fu Jiaxin is only three months older than Sheng Shutang, but Fu Jiaxin doesn't like her cousin very much. She always thinks she is not smart enough.
But it's still acceptable in terms of face.
Fu Jiaxin nodded lightly as a greeting.
Someone teased: "Tangtang, this isn't just your childhood friend, she'll be your sister-in-law in the future!"
"Go away! Stop making fun of us Ningning."
Because of this joke, Fu Jiaxin couldn't help but look at Wen Ning a little more.
She is indeed beautiful, so is she the woman my cousin is engaged to?
She grew up abroad and had little contact with her cousins. She even saw her own brother only a few times a year, let alone this cousin.
Fu Jiaxin picked up the cup and said, "Congratulations. I was abroad before, but I heard my aunt mention it. Is your wedding date next month?"
The people in the private room who knew about this looked a little embarrassed.
Sheng Shutang whispered, "Cousin, no. My brother's previous girlfriend broke off the engagement."
Fu Jiaxin raised her eyebrows meaningfully, so Wen Ning was the new cousin's wife.
She smiled but didn't say anything to congratulate him.
Whenever Sheng Shutang thought of Wen Yu, he wanted to discredit her for no reason.
"Cousin, you don't know how outrageous my brother's girlfriend was before. She wanted to extort money from my brother when they were about to get married. When my brother didn't agree, he wanted to break off the engagement, so I just broke off the engagement."
The people in their circle are most afraid of getting involved with those who are only interested in money.
This is also why most marriages are between people of equal social status.
Fu Jiaxin smiled and said, "That's a good retreat indeed. I haven't seen my aunt for a long time. Come to my house for dinner next time."
Sheng Shutang readily agreed: "Okay, I haven't visited my great-grandfather for a long time."
Fu Jiaxin didn't stay long. After dinner, they said they wanted to go to another place for a party, but she declined.
When asked why, she smiled and replied, "I have to go to work at 9 am tomorrow."
"Cousin, just ask my uncle to assign you an idle position."
That’s what Sheng Shutang did.
Fu Jiaxin chuckled, "That would be like being a rice bug. I still have a little bit of aspirations."
Wen Ning talked to her friend and asked her to stop talking nonsense, while she said a few nice compliments, which brought the welcoming banquet to a successful conclusion.
After they left, Sheng Shutang curled her lips and said, "I didn't like my cousin before. As expected, the love you have when you were a child will never change. I didn't expect that she would still act like this when she grows up."
Wen Ning glanced around and gently reminded: "Tangtang, please speak softly. She is your uncle's daughter after all."
Sheng Shutang knew this and that's why he didn't get angry.
"I see, Ningning. What did you give her today? My cousin is picky. Every time I give her a gift, I never see how she uses it."
Wen Ning smiled and said, "I made this perfume myself. I hope she likes it."
-
Fu Jiaxin always gives gifts commensurate with their value. This time, she saw a beautifully packaged item but couldn't find the logo. Out of curiosity, she opened it and discovered it was a bottle of perfume.
She rarely wears perfume because most of the scents on the market are too greasy.
So people who know her habits generally don't give her perfume.
This time she was sure that it must have been sent by Wen Ning, because they were not that familiar with each other.
Out of curiosity, Fu Jiaxin sprayed it on her wrist and smelled it, only to find that it was the kind of cool and light fragrance that she could accept.
The top note is a bit like tea mixed with ambergris, the middle note has a bit of lemon jasmine aroma, and the base note is a light mint and the aroma of the first snow in winter, which is unexpectedly pleasant.
Fu Jiaxin searched the bottle online but couldn't find the same one, unless the person giving the gift had someone specially mix it.
This gift aroused Fu Jiaxin's interest.
Wen Yu and Fu Jiaxin were sitting very close to each other, and her low-key sneer would float to the nose of the person who loved her when the wind blew.
This smell is inexplicably familiar.
She raised her brow slightly, "Your perfume smells great, can I ask who it is from?"
Fu Jiaxin felt a little proud when she saw Wen Yu approaching her for the first time. "A friend gave it to me. Do you like it?"
After hearing the answer, Wen Yu guessed that her friend should be from Wen Ning Studio.
After graduation, Wen Ning did not join a company, but has been tinkering with her own perfumery studio.
Her room was filled with this smell.
Wen Yu couldn't help sneezing every time she got close.
"It smells good and suits you very well." She didn't say anything more about her liking, nor did she insist on asking for the brand.
Fu Jiaxin was lost in thought, thinking that her colleague was quite interesting.
-
Wen Yu went back home in the evening to pack her things and prepare to move.
She was too lazy to think about why the new colleague was related to Wen Ning.
She clearly felt that Fu Jiaxin had a slight dislike for her.
Wen Yu would not consider why she disliked herself. They were just colleagues. It took some fate to become friends with colleagues, and it could not be forced.
That night, Wen Yu saw the betrothal gift that Fu Jinnian said he would give her.
In the police station.
The two detectives who handled the case last time explained the progress to her, "Ms. Wen, thanks to Mr. Fu's testimony and the drone footage of you escaping from the warehouse, your suspicion of kidnapping Wen Ning has been temporarily cleared."
"And this time, we found a criminal who had escaped in Myanmar. He confessed that the person who staged the fake kidnapping was your own sister, Wen Ning!"
"But the evidence was provided by Mr. Fu. We still need to verify it, which may take some time."
Wen Yu felt extremely happy. "Okay, thank you, officer. If the verification is successful, how long can she be sentenced?"
This is what Wen Yu cares about most.
Sending Wen Ning in jail is her greatest wish and also justice for her grandmother.
The police didn't dare to say anything, "We'll have to send the case to the procuratorate for prosecution to find out."
Wen Yu smiled and said, "Thank you."
Walking out of the police station, Wen Yu felt that the air was sweet.
She dialed the man's number, and a soft and sincere voice came from the receiver.
"Hello, Wen Yu."
"Hey, are you free today? I want to move early."
