He's mother's expression was serious, as if she was carrying a heavy burden.
She continued to say to Song Jiao, "Huihui, marriage is not a joke. It is a lifelong commitment and responsibility. Look, today their family is willing to do anything for money, but what about in the future? In the trivialities of life, will they sacrifice your happiness for greater benefits?"
After hearing this, Song Jiao remained silent. She knew that what her mother said was the truth, the cruel truth of life.
Mother He sighed and continued, "Mom doesn't mean to interfere with your choice, but I hope you understand that someone who truly loves you will never let you suffer for money. They will never use your feelings as a bargaining chip in exchange for any material benefits."
Song Jiao held her mother's hand tightly, with a determined light in her eyes: "Mom, I understand. I will handle this matter well and will not let myself suffer any grievances."
After returning home, He's mother was still in shock. She called her husband, her tone revealing deep worry: "Husband, I feel our daughter is going through a big turning point. We must guide her well and not let her go astray."
On the other end of the phone, He's father's voice was steady and powerful: "Don't worry, we have to trust Huihui. She is a smart child and will make the right choice."
Song Jiao sat in the room, looking indifferently at the system screen, where Xia Zhidong and his female friend Ning Chuxia were hugging each other in the hotel.
In the hotel room, Xia Zhidong hugged Ning Chuxia tightly, his face full of anger.
He kept cursing, "That shameless woman He Sihui! I clearly told her yesterday not to open the box and to get married first, but she refused to listen and insisted on opening it to see what was inside!"
Ning Chuxia sat on Xia Zhidong's thighs, twisting her body constantly, trying to calm his anger.
She asked in a delicate voice, "Are you going to get married?"
Xia Zhidong snorted coldly, a sly look flashing in his eyes: "Of course I will accept it. With such a generous dowry, why wouldn't you want it? I'm sorry, but you will have to be my mistress from now on."
Ning Chuxia smiled faintly after hearing this, her eyes full of tenderness: "I'm willing to do anything to be your mistress!" She looked up at Xia Zhidong, her eyes flashing with anticipation for the future.
Xia Zhidong pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered the recent hotly debated topic of high bride prices. He suggested, "Isn't the high bride price a hot topic right now? How about I post our story on social media and try portraying myself as a victim?"
Ning Chuxia's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she thought this was a good idea: "This way you might even get a considerable amount of betrothal gifts!"
Xia Zhidong laughed out loud. He hugged Ning Chuxia again and kissed her hard: "You are really my lucky star! When I succeed, I will definitely not treat you unfairly!" The laughter and panting of the two were intertwined.
Song Jiao stopped reading after seeing this.
Because of this guy, the fight ended in two minutes, and he even asked Ning Chuxia if he was powerful enough.
*****
The next day, a heated discussion about the sky-high bride price broke out on the Internet.
The topic spread like wildfire across major platforms, striking a chord with countless men who wanted to get married but were short on cash. They were outraged, expressing their dissatisfaction and resistance to the sky-high bride prices.
Xia Zhidong stood in front of the mobile phone screen and cleverly used this opportunity to cry about his dispute with He Sihui's family.
He accused the He family of demanding a betrothal gift of 800,000 yuan but never mentioned the dowry, portraying himself as a pitiful victim.
His words were full of resentment and helplessness, as if he was really suffocating under the sky-high bride price.
People on the Internet have taken sides. Some support Xia Zhidong and denounce the bad habit of sky-high bride prices; others express doubts, believing that there must be something fishy going on.
For a time, public opinion was in an uproar, with various voices rising one after another.
However, as the heroine of the incident, Song Jiao was naturally @ed, so shouldn’t she also give something in return?
She watched the development of the situation, and then at the critical moment she threw out the screenshot of the previous chat with Xia Zhidong.
These screenshots clearly show Xia Zhidong's greed for the sky-high dowry and his evasion of the bride price.
Song Jiao wrote: "#Sky-high bride price? What about the sky-high dowry?#"
This move immediately caused a sensation and the direction of public opinion reversed instantly.
People began to re-examine the entire incident and began to doubt Xia Zhidong's words.
More and more questioning voices appeared on the Internet, and some people even began to defend Song Jiao.
Sure enough, Song Jiao's phone rang soon after.
Xia Zhidong's exasperated voice came from the other end of the phone: "He Sihui, what do you mean? Are you deliberately trying to make me famous?" His voice was full of anger and unwillingness.
Song Jiao looked at the new manicure on her hands calmly and replied with a smile: "What? Are you broken?" There was a hint of contempt and provocation in her voice.
"Only you are allowed to post, and no one else is allowed to clarify?"
Xia Zhidong gritted his teeth and said, "In that case, let's break up!"
Why could this woman treat him like this? Just because she didn't give him a betrothal gift? Is that really necessary?
Song Jiao nodded, a cold smile curling her lips. "You can break up! But I will carefully account for every penny I buy for you, every penny I spend on you, and every penny I lend you! As for the rent for you living in my house, forget it. Just consider it my money. To be honest, your performance is really not that good!"
Her tone revealed disdain and contempt, as if she was competing with an insignificant opponent.
Recalling the original plot, the man once posted a detailed list of his expenses for the original owner's birthday, taxi rides, and various other expenses, and said how hard it was for him to maintain this mismatched relationship.
Now, she was just giving him a taste of his own medicine.
Xia Zhidong obviously didn't expect Song Jiao to fight back like this. He shouted angrily: "He Sihui! Don't be so extreme when doing things!"
Her voice was filled with anger and unwillingness. It was obvious that the money was given by her herself. Wasn't he useful?
However, Song Jiao couldn't help but burst out laughing, "What? You think it's amazing? When you borrowed money from me, why didn't you think of the situation today? Don't worry, I've kept the invoices! You just need to prepare the money. Okay, that's it, hanging up."
After hanging up the phone, Xia Zhidong slammed the phone to the ground, "No, He Sihui! If you're like this, don't blame me for hitting you!"
Mom is right, only pregnant women are the most obedient!
