Chapter 43 Will You Marry Me?
"Young man, don't talk nonsense. Gao Wen and Li Ming's relationship has been settled. After paying the betrothal gift tomorrow, they will be husband and wife. As an outsider, you should not interfere in our family affairs! Go back and don't come here anymore!" Gao's father ordered him to leave.
"Uncle, aunt, do you really want to marry Gao Wen to such a man? Who is he?"
"He can give us Gao Wen a betrothal gift of 100,000 yuan, and she doesn't need to work in the future. All she needs to do is stay at home and have the baby."
"You gave her 100,000 yuan to marry a man like this, and you didn't let her work, so she just stayed at home to have children. What do you think of her?"
"Young man, I can see that you are also attracted to our Gao Wen?" Gao's mother asked Gao Cheng.
"Yes, I like Gao Wen!" Gao Cheng looked at Gao Wen affectionately without any hesitation.
"Well, how much can you offer as a betrothal gift? Can you come up with 100,000 yuan? If you can, then you can talk. If you can't, then don't talk anymore!"
"Mom, I'm still here? What do you mean by that?" Li Ming asked.
"Li Ming, I don't mean anything. I just want to know if this guy has the ability to compete with you!"
Li Ming sneered: "Huh, comparing with me, him? What can he compare with me? Does he look like someone who can come up with 100,000 yuan? I think his pockets are cleaner than his face!"
This sentence made Gao Cheng laugh out of anger!
He took out his car keys from his pocket and threw them on the table, then took out a bank card from his wallet and slapped it on the table.
Then he raised his head, looked at the two elders and said, "I didn't want to use this method. I felt that doing so would humiliate Gao Wen and also humiliate the relationship between us. But you insisted on asking this, so I will tell you."
Gao Cheng stood up straight and pointed to the car keys on the table. "I just bought this car this year, the latest BMW model, worth 600,000 yuan. There's over 300,000 yuan on this card, which is my profit over the past few months, not including my savings. Uncle, aunt, if I use these two items to pay the betrothal gift and ask for Gao Wen's hand in marriage, I wonder if it's sincere enough?"
After Gao Cheng finished speaking, he looked into the eyes of the two elders, turned his head and looked at Gao Wen quietly, with infinite affection in his eyes.
After hearing these words, Gao Wen burst into tears and could no longer control them.
Gao's mother and father were stunned by Gao Cheng's words and couldn't react for a long time.
Li Ming picked up the car keys on the table, took a look at them, and put them back where they belonged. "So that BMW at the entrance to the village is yours?"
"What else?" Gao Cheng looked at Li Ming coldly.
Father Gao was the first to react: "Young man, are you telling the truth?"
"It must be true. I said our Wenwen is promising, even more promising than the eldest daughter. This young man has been very polite since he came home. It seems you brought so many good things! He is a good child!"
Mother Gao pushed Gao Wen to Gao Cheng with a smile on her face, then turned to Li Ming and said, "You go back first!"
Li Ming was speechless: "Mom, you let me go? Have you forgotten who your son-in-law is?"
"Hey, don't call me mom. The gifts haven't been exchanged, and the matter hasn't been settled yet, so it doesn't count! Wenwen is still my daughter, so go back!"
"Mom, the wedding ceremony will be held tomorrow. Are you saying this now and making others laugh at our family?" Li Ming roared.
"Li Ming, you and Wenwen have known each other for less than a month, and Wenwen has never said she likes you. With the way you behaved today, we're worried about marrying her to you. Go back first! We'll talk about the gift later!"
Li Ming was so angry that he snorted coldly, slammed the door and left!
Mother Gao quickly brought out all the cooked food and placed it on the table, asked Father Gao to quickly get some wine, and called Tian Xin to come over for dinner.
Gao Wen sat next to Gao Cheng, her face covered in tears. Gao Cheng handed her a pack of tissues.
Gao's father opened the wine and poured a glass for Gao Cheng, smiling and saying, "Young man, are you really willing to spend 900,000 to marry my Gao Wen? Do your parents agree?"
Gao Cheng said, "I'm the only son in our family. My parents respect my opinion on my own affairs. 900,000 yuan isn't enough to marry Gao Wen. If she really wants to marry me, the betrothal gift... whatever she says is fine. In my heart, her value can't be measured by money. That would be too insulting to her!"
When Mr. and Mrs. Gao heard this, they couldn't stop laughing.
Tian Xin felt awkward staying in the house, so she went out to call Zhang Shuai, and the two of them took a walk in the village.
She felt very upset and felt sorry for Gao Wen.
Although Gao Cheng used 900,000 yuan to teach Li Ming a lesson on Gao Wen's behalf, Gao Wen had to endure so much hardship and suffering for the past twenty years because of such parents.
Gao Wen called Tian Xin and asked her to go back for dinner. Tian Xin hesitated for a while and then went back!
Mr. Gao was constantly forcing Gao Cheng to drink. Seeing that Gao Cheng was about to slip under the table, Tian Xin quickly winked at Gao Wen and helped him back to the room.
The two helped Gao Cheng to lie down on the bed. Just as they turned to leave, Gao Cheng grabbed Gao Wen's hand and kept talking nonsense: "Gao Wen, don't go, don't go..."
Tian Xin glanced at Gao Wen and silently left the room.
"Stop pretending. I know you can drink a lot. This little bit won't make you drunk." Gao Wen looked at Gao Cheng who was pretending to be drunk.
Gao Cheng opened one eye and saw that there was no one around. He turned over and sat up, reaching out and hugged Gao Wen in his arms.
"Don't leave me, Gao Wen!"
Gao Cheng cried, holding Gao Wen tightly with one hand and stroking her head with the other, murmuring: "I miss you so much! I'm really afraid I'll never see you again!"
Gao Wen was hugged so tightly by him that she could barely breathe. She gently patted Gao Cheng's back and whispered, "I miss you, too."
"Then why didn't you tell me you were coming back to get married? Do you know how I've been dealing with this these past few days? I couldn't get through to you on the phone, and I couldn't find where you were. I was going crazy."
"I... I don't know how to say it. I feel... I feel like you might... might not like me, and I don't have the courage to confess to you. You're such a good person, and your family is well-off. There must be a lot of people who like you. I'm a country girl... I don't think I'm worthy of you."
Gao Wen said this with great difficulty. This was what was in her heart. She really felt that she was not worthy of Gao Cheng.
Her parents forced her to marry Li Ming, but she was unwilling.
She missed Gao Cheng, but she didn't know what Gao Cheng meant, so she could only compromise.
Gao Cheng let go of Gao Wen, and the two looked at each other.
"What do you mean unworthy?" Gao Cheng asked.
"I'm not well-off, and I don't have much ability..."
As Gao Wen was speaking, Gao Cheng kissed her lips...
…………
…………
Why is my heart... beating... so fast!
Gao Wen's eyes suddenly opened wide, and she was so shocked that she couldn't react.
She had never been in love before, and the first time she was kissed, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, her hands stopped in mid-air, and she froze there.
Gao Cheng just kissed her lightly and let her go.
He rested his head on Gao Wen's forehead, held Gao Wen's face with both hands, and whispered: "Don't say such things again in the future, I can't stand it!"
"Okay!" Gao Wen responded softly.
After a long time, Gao Cheng raised his head, looked into Gao Wen's eyes, and called out softly: "Gao Wen!"
"Um?"
"will you marry me?"
