Chapter 443: A Rich and Shocking Dowry
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you, Zhao Jiaying. I always think you are a very smart woman, smarter and more capable than Su Xiao. I'm waiting to see you surprise me!" Liu Zhiqing said with a smile, with a strange light hidden in her eyes.
Zhao Jiaying couldn't help but curl her lips and smile. In her heart, she naturally felt that she was a hundred times better than Su Xiao, so she felt extremely unbalanced. Now, hearing Liu Zhiqing praising her like this, she was not humble at all. "Well, I understand. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation!"
“It’s a pleasure to work with you!”
Su Xiao was completely unaware of the conspiracy going on here. After she walked out of the cafe, she looked at the time and decided to look for Yun Che.
Yun Che was surprised and delighted to see her. He immediately pulled her into his arms and kissed her, then asked in an ambiguous tone, "Did you miss me?"
Su Xiao was not pretentious and nodded, "Yes, what about you, do you want me to come?"
“Do you want me to? Do you want me to prove it to you right now?” Yun Che pretended to pick her up.
Su Xiao quickly pushed him away, "Well, I know everything. Don't do this. Let me go."
Yun Che was well aware of her physical condition. If he really provoked her evil fire, he would probably be the one suffering. So he stopped teasing her and took her to the rest area to sit down.
Su Xiao told him that she had just met Liu Zhiqing.
"You invited her to our wedding?" Yun Che was slightly surprised.
"Well, my mom told me that she and my dad probably can't attend the wedding as parents, so even if Liu Zhiqing attends, it doesn't matter. She won't find out about my relationship with my parents."
Yun Che nodded immediately. "If that's the case, then let's arrange it this way. She's already mentioned it herself. If you don't invite her, it will only make her suspicious. This will also help dispel her various ideas. Well, she's a smart girl indeed!"
Su Xiao couldn't help but smile again because of his praise. They continued chatting. At about three o'clock, Lan Qiuling called and said that she wanted to meet Su Xiaojia for something.
"Now?" Su Xiao said hesitantly, "What is it about? Can we talk about it over the phone?"
"It's not convenient for you to come over? What were you doing?" Lan Qiuling asked back.
"Uh, I'm here at Yunche Company."
"In the company? You and Yun Che are together?"
"Yes, I came out to do something and stopped by as I was passing by."
"Does Yun Che have any social engagements tonight? If not, why don't you all just come over for dinner? Your dad happens to be free at home tonight."
Su Xiao didn't answer immediately after hearing this. She first covered the microphone of her phone and whispered to Yun Che, asking for his opinion. After getting Yun Che's consent, she replied to her mother, "Okay, we'll go there after picking up Yangyang and Nini."
"See you then."
"goodbye."
"What do you think my mother is going to talk to me about? She must know that I posted a message to Liu Zhiqing, right?" After hanging up the phone, Su Xiao asked Yun Che.
Yun Che was also somewhat puzzled. Seeing Su Xiao's stern expression, he couldn't help but reach out and smooth her furrowed brow. He said cheerfully, "It shouldn't be a big deal. I guess she just wanted to see you."
"But we just met at grandma's last night."
"What parents would complain about seeing their daughter too much? This shows they love you."
Su Xiao didn't argue with Yun Che about this. Regardless of whether it was true or not, she would just accept it as it was. Besides, they did seem to treat her very well. Although Lan Qiuling was still very strict with her and always acted in a dignified manner during conversations, perhaps that was Lan Qiuling's personality and style. In any case, she truly loved her daughter.
So Su Xiao didn't think much about it. At Yun Che's request, she went to the lounge to sleep for a while, and then went with Yun Che to pick up her son and daughter from school and went straight to the Zhao family.
Zhao Zhixun came home early today, which was rare. After asking the nanny to settle Yangyang and Nini, he brought Yun Che and Su Xiao to the study.
Lan Qiuling handed a stack of things directly to Su Xiao. "Although your father and I can't be present as parents on your wedding day, we've still prepared the necessary things for you. Here are some property ownership certificates, some stocks and savings accounts. These are your dowry from your father and me."
She had two apartments, one a courtyard house and the other a large flat in a high-end residential complex. She also had valuable stocks from several well-known companies and a large amount of deposits, all in her name.
Although Yun Che was very rich and had given Su Xiao a card, Su Xiao had never specifically checked how much money was in it. Therefore, when she saw such a valuable thing now, she was dumbfounded.
It took her a while to come to her senses, and she subconsciously stuffed the things back to Lan Qiuling, "No, that's not necessary. Thank you. I appreciate your kindness. You can keep these things."
"Since it's given to you, there's no reason to take it back. I know you don't have to worry about finances when you marry Ache, but Ache is Ache, and we are us. Due to some accidents over the years, your father and I did not fulfill our responsibilities. These things can be regarded as our compensation to you." Lan Qiuling said.
“But…” Su Xiao still didn’t want to accept it. She couldn’t help but look at Yun Che.
Yun Che smiled at her and said, "Since this is a gift from my parents, please accept it."
"That's right, you see, Ache is much more straightforward than you." Lan Qiuling immediately agreed.
At this time, Zhao Zhixun also spoke, his eyes filled with deep guilt and regret. "Hui'er, your mother said she already told you that we can't attend your wedding as your parents on the wedding day. I'm sorry. If I could, Daddy would like to be like other fathers, holding your hand and handing you over to Yun Che personally, but... I'm really sorry, child."
Su Xiao quickly shook her head and said, "No, Dad, don't say that. I... I understand. It's okay. I can ask my mom... the Su family's mom to attend. I also plan to invite my adoptive father. Although he once broke my adoptive mother's heart, he is still my nominal father after all. He loved me very much over the years. It will be the same if they attend."
I remember that when Su Xiao heard Lan Qiuling say this that day, she felt very disappointed, even a little angry and aggrieved.
But after thinking about it carefully, she understood the reasons and helplessness for their arrangement. She believed that if possible, they would definitely hope to send her to Yun Che as his biological parents. After all, they sincerely wanted to take her home and loved her from the bottom of their hearts.
Nothing in the world can be perfect, and people should not be too greedy. In fact, it is already very good. Even if they can't do those formalities, they are still here and will silently bless her.
"By the way, Dad, Mom, I want to tell you something." Su Xiao said suddenly again.
Lan Qiuling and Zhao Zhixun nodded and listened.
"I... I sent an invitation to Liu Zhiqing today. I thought that since you won't attend my wedding as parents anyway, I might as well let Liu Zhiqing attend the wedding. This will also dispel her doubts. What do you think?" Su Xiao was still a little cautious.
