Chapter 126: Dowry Dispute
In fact, making money is secondary. Lu Yuanyuan’s real purpose is to find a rich husband.
But she couldn't tell He Liya so directly. Although they were high school classmates, Lu Yanyan was wary.
What she told He Liya was that she wanted to start a new life in a new place.
The next night, Lu Yuanyuan quietly pulled her suitcase and flew away from Jiangbei City to Country W.
-
In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Gu Yunchi gave the betrothal gift to the Lu family.
On this day, Gu Yunchi took the Shen family to the Lu family early in the morning to deliver the betrothal gifts.
Lan Yu was taken back to the Lu family by Lu Chengfeng the night before.
The huge convoy stopped at the gate of the Lu family villa. Song Yubai and Wei Cheng called on the gift-giving team to carry down the betrothal gifts.
Half of the betrothal gift was prepared by Gu Yunchi, and the remaining half was prepared by Shen Aiying and her mother Li Mingxiang.
The betrothal gifts carried into the house piled up into a small mountain in the living room.
The gold and jewelry alone are worth tens of millions, and there are also many high-end clothes, shoes and bags.
Bai Xiuhe pointed at the betrothal gifts and said to Lan Yu, "You can take all these away later. Mom and Dad will also give you a villa near your airport, which will make it convenient for you to go to and from get off work in the future."
Although the wedding was postponed, Bai Xiuhe felt that the dowry must be given first.
She discussed with her husband and son and finally decided to buy a villa near the airport as Lan Yu's dowry.
Lan Yu knew the prices near the airport; a villa would cost at least 50 million.
This dowry is really impressive.
But Bai Xiuhe felt that it was not enough. She wished she could give her life to Lan Yu, and felt that they owed Lan Yu too much.
The Lu family was bustling with activity, but the atmosphere at the Gu family's old house was very depressing.
Because Gu Yunchi refused to accept the betrothal gift prepared by the old man, Gu Qinghui was very angry and complained to his father: "Dad, Yunchi really wants to sever ties with us, even though you've been so nice to him."
"I think since he is so tough, he and his wife should quit Dongsheng. Dongsheng is our Gu family's property. They are receiving your salary but doing such embarrassing things for you."
"If people outside knew that it was the Shen family that sent the betrothal gift, they would probably say something about our Gu family behind our backs."
Zhang Yulan has always been partial to her eldest son. After hearing what Gu Qinghui said, she agreed: "That's right, Yun Chi is the eldest grandson of our family. Doing such a thing is unfilial and disrespectful to the ancestors of the Gu family."
"Why should our Gu family recognize such a descendant? I think this must have been instigated by that woman surnamed Lan. She knew that we don't like her, so she tried her best to curry favor with the Shen family."
"Mom, Lan Yu is not that kind of person. Aiying is her mother-in-law. She is on good terms with her mother-in-law. How can it be said that she is fawning on her?" Song Wanrou defended Lan Yu.
Zhang Yulan glanced at Song Wanrou and said, "Second sister, when you say that Yunchi is ignorant, unfilial and disrespectful, shouldn't you reflect on yourself? Yunchi was raised by you and your wife."
Gu Qinghui snorted, "That's right, we shouldn't have given Yun Chi to you and your wife to raise. Look at what he has become now! Not only does he not recognize me as his father, he even doesn't recognize his own ancestors."
"I think he should change his surname from Gu to Chen!"
Gu Qingdong put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Gu Qinghui, "Brother, was it us who instigated Yun Chi to sever ties with the Gu family? If you insist on finding out the reason, you are the one who should reflect on yourself the most."
"Yun Chi broke off relations with the Gu family because he hated you controlling him."
Gu Qinghui was choked and became angry. He raised his voice and cursed: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I control him?"
Gu Meichan couldn't stand it anymore and helped Gu Qingdong to blame Gu Qinghui: "Brother, second brother is right. Yun Chi left this home because he hated you controlling him. We all saw it. It's no use for you to quibble."
"I think Yun Chi didn't want grandpa's betrothal gift this time because he didn't want to have anything to do with you. It wasn't targeting grandpa, nor was it being unfilial or disrespectful to our ancestors."
Gu Qinghui's face flushed red. "We men are talking, why are you, a woman, butting in?"
Gu Meichan laughed sarcastically, "Ha, look everyone, he's here again. I've had enough. Big brother, do you know how disgusting and suffocating your way of speaking and your attitude are right now?"
"Don't mention Yun Chi. I also hate the way you talk. I just can't understand why someone like you, who has no ability, is so self-righteous and arrogant?"
"Gu Meichan, are you looking for death? Believe it or not, I will slap you to death!"
Gu Qinghui jumped up and wanted to hit Gu Meichan, but was stopped by Gu Qingdong, "Brother, don't go too far. Meichan is right. You are indeed self-righteous and arrogant!"
Gu Qinghui paused, then swung his fist and hit Gu Qingdong in the face.
"Ah..." Song Wanrou screamed and went forward to pull Gu Qinghui. Seeing this, Fang Lin took the opportunity to come up and slap Song Wanrou.
When Gu Meichan saw her second brother and sister-in-law being beaten, she became furious. She grabbed Fang Lin's hair, pulling and cursing: "You troublemaker, how dare you hit my sister-in-law? I'll teach you a lesson today."
Gu Meichan often goes to the gym and her physique is better than Fang Lin and Gu Qinghui.
Fang Lin screamed in pain.
The old lady was stunned by the chaotic fight in front of her.
The old man slowly picked up the teacup and drank tea.
When Gu Qinghui saw his wife being beaten, he wanted to come over and beat his sister, but he was kicked away by Gu Meichan.
He slammed heavily onto the mahogany sofa, squealing like a pig.
Song Wanrou helped her husband up, and the couple watched with wide eyes as Gu Meichan beat two people alone, looking very relaxed.
Finally, Gu Meichan threw Fang Lin towards Gu Qinghui and said, "Bah, you treat me like a sick cat when the tiger doesn't show its power. How dare you challenge me? If it weren't for my parents, I would have beaten you both to a pulp."
The old lady came to her senses and pointed at her daughter and scolded, "Gu Meichan, who did you learn this from? How could you even beat your own brother and sister-in-law? And you hit them so hard."
Gu Meichan was furious and shouted at the old lady, "Mom, are you getting senile? They were the ones who started it. Do you mean they can hit us but we can't fight back?"
"I was defending myself, you know? I was right at the police station, so why am I wrong in front of you? You've been partial to them for so many years, isn't that enough?"
"I'm telling you, I'm going to say this today. Since you favor them, if you are bedridden in the future, ask them to take care of you, and don't ask me, my second brother and his wife."
The old lady was so choked that she couldn't utter a word.
The old man then put down his teacup and scolded Gu Meichan in a low voice, "Meichan, that's enough. Don't be unreasonable."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the old man was protecting his youngest daughter.
Gu Meichan stopped when she saw that things were going well and went to look at Gu Qingdong's face. "Second brother, you need to put some ice on your face right away, otherwise it will be swollen tomorrow. How can you go to work?"
"But if someone asks you how you got injured, just say that your brother beat you."
Gu Qinghui was almost mad with anger, his body trembling. "Gu Meichan, did I owe you money in my previous life or did I steal something from your family? Why did you treat me like this? My waist might be broken, I need to go to the hospital..."
