Chapter 163: Too Much Self-Esteem
When the people in the Ji family heard that the security guard was going to call the police, they immediately became timid.
Ji Daheng grabbed his wife Cong Fang and persuaded her, "This is a public place, it's not convenient to talk, let's go back first."
Cong Fang was unwilling to accept this. She glared at her daughter Ji Tiantian angrily and said, "Ji Tiantian, let me tell you, I am your mother. I raised you up. You should repay me. It's okay for you not to marry Luo Yongde."
"Then give me 300,000 yuan and you can marry whoever you want."
After saying that, Cong Fang turned around, called her two sons and husband, and walked away in a swagger.
Lan Yu gave Zhu Hong a look.
Zhu Hong understood and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, everyone go back to your respective posts and don't get stuck here."
Lan Yu and Gu Yunchi followed into Ji Tiantian's office.
Bai Xiuhe helped Ji Tiantian sit down and said to her, "I will transfer 300,000 yuan to you now, and you transfer it to your parents immediately."
Ji Tiantian shook her head, "Auntie, I won't give them a penny. If I give them the 300,000 now, they will definitely ask me for money in the future. I know my family too well."
"Let me put it this way, they are like a bottomless pit, really greedy. No matter how much money I give them, they will never be satisfied. On the contrary, they will only ask for more."
Bai Xiuhe was anxious, "But if you don't give them money, they won't come to you? Why are you so stubborn, kid? I didn't give you these 300,000 yuan for free."
"Even if it's the betrothal gift given by our family, don't they want to marry you off? Then we'll just give in to their wishes and give them 300,000 yuan as a betrothal gift, and from now on you will be the daughter-in-law of our Lu family."
"If they want to ask you for money again, they have to get the consent of our Lu family. If we don't agree, they can't take a penny."
Ji Tiantian stopped talking. She felt very upset and had an inferiority complex. She always felt that she was marrying above her station with Lu Chengfeng.
Now that her parents are asking for money in this way again, she can no longer hold her head up in front of the Lu family.
Lan Yu knew that Ji Tiantian had a strong sense of self-esteem and that she still couldn't let go of her inferiority complex, so he pulled her mother Bai Xiuhe.
He shook his head at the other party, signaling Bai Xiuhe to stop talking.
After Bai Xiuhe and Gu Yunchi left, Lan Yu sat down next to Ji Tiantian and sighed softly.
Ji Tiantian pursed her lips and looked at her, "Why are you sighing? You also think I'm twisted, don't you?"
Lan Yu didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.
Ji Tiantian sniffed and said, "Why is Chengfeng your brother? If he wasn't your brother, I wouldn't care about it. I always feel that if I get along with him and drag him down, I'd be cheating you."
Lan Yu was surprised. "Why would you think so? I've known about your family situation for a long time. It's not like I'm unaware of it. Besides, with so many of us, how can we be afraid of your parents and your two brothers?"
"Actually, in my opinion, it's a very simple matter. Your parents want a betrothal gift of 300,000 yuan, so just give it to them. But if you don't want to do that, I can lend you 300,000 yuan first."
"Use this to deal with your parents first, but make it clear to them that if you give them the 300,000 yuan, they won't be able to bother you again. It's useless to come again because you won't give them a penny more."
Ji Tiantian: "What if they come again?"
Lan Yu: "Then just argue with them. They won't dare to pick your pocket, right?"
Ji Tiantian frowned and thought, "Let me think about it again."
Lan Yu: "Okay, then think about it while you eat. Don't waste the food. This is my mother's gift."
Ji Tiantian nodded slightly.
Lan Yu returned to her office, and Bai Xiuhe grabbed her and asked, "How is it going? Did you convince Tiantian?"
Lan Yu shook his head and said, "She said she wanted to think about it again."
Bai Xiuhe didn't understand, "It's just a small amount of money, what else is there to think about? Not to mention 300,000, even if it's 3 million, I'm willing to give it. For a family like ours, which family doesn't spend tens of millions to marry a daughter-in-law."
Lan Yu made a hushing gesture and explained in a low voice: "Mom, please don't say such things in front of Tiantian. You have to consider her original family. Tiantian is with my brother and she feels very inferior."
"Also, she has a strong sense of self-esteem, and her parents' behavior makes her lose face."
Bai Xiuhe remained silent, thinking about what Lan Yu said.
"Let's finish our meal first." Gu Yunchi handed the chopsticks to Lan Yu, turned to his mother-in-law sitting opposite him and said, "Mom, Yu Yu is right. We should respect Tiantian's idea on this matter."
Bai Xiuhe sighed helplessly, "Should we tell Chengfeng about this?"
Lan Yu: "No need to tell my brother. If Tiantian wants to tell, she will tell my brother. Let's not say anything more."
On the other side, the four members of the Ji family who left the Aviation and Medical Center found an open space to sit on.
Cong Fang was still unwilling to give up. She ran here from a long distance, but was driven away without even having a sip of water.
It's such a disgrace.
She cursed, "This damn girl, if I had known she was so heartless, I would not have let her go to college. I should have married her to Old Zhang at the east end of the village, and she could have gotten a few hundred thousand dollars in return."
"If you ask me, Ji Daheng, this is your parents' fault. They insisted on sending your daughter to university, and ended up spending all their savings."
Ji Daheng had one good thing about him, which was his filial piety. He listened to his parents the most. Hearing his wife scolding his deceased parents like that, he felt a little unhappy. "They're gone, why are you still dragging them out to nag about it?"
"Besides, didn't Tiantian pay back all the money she spent to my parents after she got a job? She even paid it back in front of us and gave double the amount."
Cong Fang rolled her eyes and said, "So what do you say we should do now? She has grown stronger now and is no longer afraid of us."
At this moment, a bell suddenly rang.
Cong Fang was interrupted and shouted angrily, "Who's calling?"
Ji Fuguo was stunned for a moment, then took out his phone and said with a smile, "It seems to be mine... It's really mine. It's Xiaoling calling. Let me answer it first. Xiaoling, I'm in Jiangbei City..."
Ji Fuguo ran aside and talked on the phone for two minutes. When he came back, he had a sad face, "Dad, Mom, Xiaoling said her parents asked her to break up with me, saying that our family can't even afford a betrothal gift of 200,000 yuan, so don't marry me."
Cong Fang jumped up and said, "What, Xiaoling wants to break up with you? Second brother, you are already thirty years old and you finally have a girlfriend. If Xiaoling breaks up with you and the news gets out, you will never get married again in your life."
Ji Fuguo was almost crying, "Mom, what should we do? Xiaoling said her parents won't budge and must ask for a 200,000 yuan betrothal gift and 100,000 yuan worth of jewelry. We can't just rob a bank, can we?"
Cong Fang gritted her teeth and said, "This is all Tiantian's fault. If she had agreed to Luo Yongde, wouldn't everything be solved?"
Ji Fuqiang took a puff of his cigarette and squinted his eyes before saying, "How about we talk to Luo Yongde about this?"
Cong Fang turned to her eldest son and asked, "What are you discussing?"
Ji Fuqiang: "Let's discuss his marriage with Tiantian. Once we have decided on the marriage, are we still afraid that Tiantian will not agree? When the time comes, let Luo Yongde come to communicate with Tiantian himself. This matter is originally between them."
