Rong Xu lit a cigarette and frowned. "Why is it still her?"
Ji Ruchen gave a sarcastic smile: "Who can blame them when the Chen family has such a large dowry?"
When it came to the Lin family, Ji Ruchen showed no mercy whatsoever. Apart from Old Master Lin and Lin Nan, Ji Ruchen looked down on everyone else in the Lin family.
Selling one's own son for a mere dowry is simply too disgusting.
However, the Lin family did not think so; on the contrary, they were proud of it, which made them feel even more ashamed.
Miss Chen, the youngest daughter of the Chen family, is the only unmarried daughter in the family. She is now twenty-five years old, only one year younger than Lin Nan.
Considering all aspects, the two were actually a good match. However, the fact that Miss Chen liked Rong Xu was common knowledge in their circle, and she even made quite a few jokes in her pursuit of him.
However, due to her status as a young lady of the Chen family, no one said anything to her face, but there was no shortage of gossip behind her back.
Speaking of this marriage, Ji Ruchen was extremely dissatisfied, but although these people called him "Big Brother," he wasn't a real "Big Brother" who could manage their family affairs.
"With Miss Chen's reputation, no one of any standing would marry her. It's not that I look down on her, but I'm worried that one day she might affect our brotherly relationship."
A bad reputation isn't a big deal, but Ji Ruchen is particularly concerned about a woman caught between his two brothers.
"Did the second brother really agree?" Rong Xu asked, frowning.
"Of course, I really suspect he's lost his mind," Ji Ruchen said angrily, then vaguely remembered a woman: "The second son probably still can't let her go."
After entering the house, Bo Jingxi went to the study to play, while Lu Qingyan and Lin Jiaojiao went to try on cute animal costumes, intending to play the roles of a fox and a rabbit.
When Lu Qingyan finished changing her clothes, she realized that Lin Jiaojiao hadn't changed.
She blinked: "Little Jiaojiao, why don't you change your clothes?"
"Why should I change?" Lin Jiaojiao looked down at Lu Qingyan with her chin raised.
Although Lu Qingyan is older by age, she is too short and can't compare to Lin Jiaojiao at all; Lin Jiaojiao has to look up to see her. Lin Jiaojiao, on the other hand, can see Lu Qingyan simply by looking down.
Just now, in front of so many people, Lin Jiaojiao was a bit domineering, but she mostly had a sweet and warm smile. Lu Qingyan didn't expect her to be like this.
"Little sister Jiaojiao." Lu Qingyan called out to her, but this made Lin Jiaojiao very unhappy.
"Lu Qingyan, is it? Do you think you have the right to call me sister? Ha, you're just a toy I picked up, what's so great about you? Come on, tell me how you got Uncle Rong to keep you at home? You're just a bastard whose parents are unknown, and you dare to call me sister? It's hilarious."
The words that Lin Jiaojiao uttered were so vicious, like an insect crawling into Lu Qingyan's heart, making Lu Qingyan so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head.
Fortunately, Lin Jiaojiao only used words, not her hands.
Lin Jiaojiao said, word by word, "You wild girl, don't you dare tell Uncle Rong and the others that I said these things. Do you think they believe me, the real heiress, or you, some nobody who came from who-knows-where?"
Lu Qingyan remained silent, thinking that they would probably favor Lin Jiaojiao.
Actually, she didn't plan to complain at first. After all, Lin Jiaojiao wouldn't live with her forever. As long as she couldn't see her, she wouldn't be sad or upset.
