Chapter 47 The wedding begins and the show begins!
If Chen Yang hadn't reminded him, Song Qiao would have forgotten about it long ago.
Besides, after she knew the truth about Chen Yang's cheating, she no longer planned to marry him. At this moment, she only felt that the money he proposed as a deposit was full of irony.
Song Qiao knew that even if she had forgotten about this matter, Xu Qin would always keep it in mind. As for why they did not mention the deposit when they discussed the marriage with the betrothal gift, but chose to bring it up on the eve of the wedding, the purpose was very clear.
They just felt that everything for the wedding had been prepared and her marrying Chen Yang was a foregone conclusion, so no matter what conditions they put forward now, her family had to accept them all.
There was a hint of viciousness in Song Qiao's eyes. Chen Yang and Xu Qin were really scheming and shameless.
Chen Yang replied with an embarrassed look: "Qiao Qiao, we do have this custom in our hometown, so my mother asked me to ask you."
Song Qiao raised his eyebrows slightly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips: "Chen Yang, you know that I don't understand these things, but I am willing to adapt to the local customs. How much money do you think my parents should give me as a starting point?"
Song Qiao threw the question back to him, wanting to hear what he would say. But no matter how much Chen Yang asked for, she would not give it.
The reason why she asked him was that she wanted to tease him, and she also wanted to know how big Chen Yang's appetite was.
"Qiao Qiao, this... every family in our place gives something different. They give more or less, and it's different from one family to another. Anyway, it's just a token of my appreciation. Why don't you give whatever you think is appropriate?"
Song Qiao rolled her eyes in disgust when she heard that. She thought to herself, look at me? He called me today specifically, probably because he had already made up his mind. He is so hypocritical.
But this actually piqued her interest. She smiled and said, "How much do they usually give? You need to give me a reference range."
"Qiao Qiao, actually... I... I didn't plan to..."
Chen Yang was hesitant in speaking. If Xu Qin hadn't forced him to call Song Qiao crying, he would not have been willing to ask Song Qiao for the money as a deposit.
Because he knew that Xu Qin wanted this money because she was afraid that he would regret the engagement tomorrow and she would not be able to get back the betrothal money she had given her before, so she wanted to use this money as compensation.
At the same time, she also knew that the Song family had only one daughter, Song Qiao, and the money Song Qiao's parents gave her as a dowry would definitely not be small. She could also use this incident to mock the Song family for being so eager to support their family.
Chen Yang asked himself honestly and realized that he was too young when Chen Penghui got into trouble. Not only did he have no feelings for him, he couldn't even remember his father who had passed away early.
Although Xu Qin had instilled in him the idea of avenging Chen Penghui and the Song family since he could remember, in the years he had been close to Song Qiao and her parents, they had been really nice to him and had never looked down on or ridiculed him, so his hatred for the Song family was not as deep as Xu Qin's.
Seeing that tomorrow was the day for his wedding with Song Qiao, he was already unhappy about having to break off the engagement at the wedding scene. If he was asked to ask the Song family for money again, he would really feel guilty.
So he asked for money very reluctantly, which made Xu Qin very anxious. She didn't care what Song Qiao would think, she snatched the phone from Chen Yang's hand and interrupted him anxiously.
"Qiao Qiao, Chen Yang hasn't been back to the village for a long time. He doesn't understand this kind of thing. Let me tell you."
Although Xu Qin was furious in her heart, she managed to disguise herself well with a smile on her face.
Song Qiao frowned unconsciously: "Okay, Aunt Xu, you go ahead."
Xu Qin paused, then gritted her teeth and added, "Qiao Qiao, there have been quite a few marriages in our village recently. I've already inquired about it, and there are two families who are very wealthy. One gave their daughter a deposit of 500,000 yuan, and the other gave their daughter a deposit of 800,000 yuan."
Without waiting for Song Qiao to respond, Chen Yang frowned and said unhappily, "Mom, how can you ask for such a high price? Who in our village would give so much money to their daughter?"
Xu Qin glared at Chen Yang fiercely, reminding him to shut up with her eyes, and Chen Yang then shut up reluctantly.
She then smiled and explained to Song Qiao: "Qiao Qiao, what I said is indeed true. Although our village is small, there are many wealthy people in the countryside now. The reason why I told you about these two families, Qiao Qiao, don't worry, I respect your family. Besides, your parents only have you as their daughter, so they should be willing to give you whatever they want."
After Xu Qin finished speaking, she tightly grasped the phone and waited nervously to hear Song Qiao's reaction.
After a few seconds of silence, Song Qiao replied cheerfully: "Auntie, how about one million?"
One million? Xu Qin had never seen so much money in her life, and she had never expected Song Qiao to agree so readily.
She was stunned for a moment, then swallowed her saliva and asked in disbelief: "Qiao...Qiao Qiao, are you serious? Will your parents agree?"
Song Qiao's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing, and then she replied very seriously: "Auntie, of course I am serious. You also said that I am the only daughter of my parents, so of course they don't want to let me down. I will accept this matter on their behalf."
"Qiao Qiao, we all got this money before the wedding, so you..."
Song Qiao's lips curled slightly: "Auntie, we neglected this matter. My parents are busy with the wedding and are not at home now. I will tell them when they come back. I will give you the money in front of relatives and friends at the wedding tomorrow."
"Qiao Qiao, you..."
"Auntie, you are hesitant to speak. Do you not believe me?" Song Qiao spoke first.
"No, Qiao Qiao, please don't get me wrong. How could I not believe you?"
"Okay, Auntie, since you trust me, let's make it a deal. I just got a call, so I'll hang up first."
Song Qiao hung up the phone without giving Xu Qin time to react. She looked at the phone with a hint of sarcasm between her brows. Since Xu Qin was so greedy, she would naturally fulfill her wish tomorrow.
Tonight is naturally a sleepless night for Song Qiao, Chen Yang, and Xie Yanli.
The next day, at ten o'clock in the morning, in the dressing room of the Marriott Hotel.
Song Qiao stood in front of the mirror. She had already put on her wedding dress and put on makeup, just waiting for the moment to go on stage and slap the scum in the face.
Chen Yao looked at Song Qiao in the mirror, who was wearing a white veil. She was like a fairy from a dreamland, shining with dazzling light all over her body, with an untainted holiness and nobility that made people admire her.
Chen Yao was thinking that if she were a man, she would have become Song Qiao's slave long ago.
So she still can't understand Chen Yang's behavior, especially since he is a Phoenix man from a mountain city. It would be a blessing if a beautiful and kind rich girl like Song Qiao didn't despise him. How dare he cheat? She can only say that he doesn't know what's good for him and doesn't know how to cherish.
The staff of Marriott Hotel came over to remind Song Qiao that it was time to go on stage. Song Qiao and Shen Yao looked at each other. Song Qiao nodded at Shen Yao, signaling with his eyes that she didn't need to worry.
Chen Yao responded with a firm look in her eyes: "Qiao Qiao, I will always stand behind you and support you."
Song Qiao knew how good Chen Yao was to her, and she smiled with relief.
Soon, holding flowers in her hands, she walked slowly towards the stage accompanied by Song Zhiming, towards Chen Yang, who was standing tall and dressed in a suit.
Her eyes unconsciously fell to the audience, and she soon saw Zhou Yi among the guests. The corner of his lips was curled up in a ruffian smile. Before she could respond to him, she felt a burning gaze rushing towards her.
She turned sideways and met those dark and slightly cold eyes.
Xie Yanli was staring at her frankly and without any concealment. His eyes were deep, indifferent, and extremely aggressive.
The cold aura in his eyes made him want to nail her firmly to the spot.
