Chapter 398 The Dowry Has Shrinked
My mother's words were not polite at all, but Xiao Shiqiu didn't take it seriously. Instead, he said very kindly, "If Auntie is worried that I might act on impulse, shouldn't she have let Mengmeng settle down with me as soon as possible? That way, I wouldn't have any other thoughts.
I don’t need to say much about my family situation. If you are interested, you can find it on the Internet.
As for the future, there are not many things in this world that can tempt me, whether it is money or beauty.
I have the ability to protect everything I want to protect, including my heart." At the end, he looked at my mother meaningfully.
"Shiqiu, your uncle believes in you. I feel relieved that Mengmeng is with you. When do you plan to get engaged?" My father smiled and rubbed his hands subconsciously, as excited as if he had cleared out some inventory.
It's really too painful for me to watch!
"It's March now, and I want to wait until May when the weather gets warmer to hold an engagement party. When the time comes, you can tell me how many relatives and friends you want to invite, and I'll take care of everything.
In addition, before getting engaged, I hope to arrange for the elders on both sides to meet. My mother has passed away, and I still have my father and grandparents at home.
Since my grandparents are old, I'd like to arrange a meeting in City A. Is that okay with my uncle and aunt? I'll arrange for a helicopter to pick you up then."
My dad said excitedly, "No problem, no problem. Mr. Xiao is old, so of course we should go visit him."
My mother seemed to have just remembered who Xiao Shiqiu's grandfather was. When Deng Sisi was trying to sow discord between them, she only remembered that Xiao Shiqiu was rich and a successful businessman, and forgot that he had such a family background.
Deng Sisi, however, had no idea about Xiao Shiqiu's background, and she kept winking at my mother, hoping she could stop our engagement.
But my mother didn't even look at her at that moment, and she didn't say a word. I didn't know what she was thinking.
I heard my dad still saying, "Your aunt and I have already discussed it. When Mengmeng gets married, we will give her a dowry of a house, a car, and..."
My mother suddenly interrupted, "Yes, we prepared a house and a car as a dowry for Mengmeng.
Although it's not much, it's a little thought from my parents. After all, we are from a small family and cannot compare to your Xiao family's wealth.
We originally planned to buy Mengmeng a 150-square-meter house in T City, a BMW 3 Series, and bring 880,000 yuan in cash to the wedding.
But if Mengmeng doesn't come back after graduation, the house will seem a bit useless, don't you think?
I wonder what your family's plans are for the bride price?"
Where's the promised villa? Where's the promised eight million in cash? This is a serious reduction.
I looked at my dad with wide eyes. He looked at my mom in surprise, and his lips moved a few times as he was about to say something when Xiao Shiqiu spoke up: "Actually, it doesn't matter how much the dowry is. I'll give three times as much."
Deng Sisi's eyes were so red that they seemed to be bleeding. Her hands subconsciously tugged at the corners of her clothes, almost tearing them.
My dad said awkwardly, “The dowry your aunt mentioned was something we mentioned jokingly when Mengmeng was in middle school.
Our family conditions are better now than they were back then, and I only have this one daughter, so I definitely can't give her so little.
By the way, I’ve already bought her a car. Is Mengmeng already driving it? "
In order to show his love for me, my father didn't even bother to let my mother know and told her directly that he was going to buy me a car.
My mom was shocked and angry: "When did you buy a car for Mengmeng? How come I didn't know? She doesn't even have a driver's license, what kind of car did you buy her?"
I silently pulled my driver's license out of my bag, "I have my license."
My dad was a little impatient: "Do I need your consent to buy my daughter a car? We agreed to buy her a car after she graduates."
My mother asked unhappily, "What car did you buy?"
I answered before my dad could, "Cayenne top-of-the-line version."
