Chapter 90 Give some gift money
"Junlan, Junlan, wake up quickly."
Jun Lan slowly opened her eyes and saw Yang Ning looking at her nervously and shaking her gently.
"Did you have another nightmare? No matter how much I called you or shook you, you didn't wake up. I was so scared. I thought something had happened."
Jun Lan kissed Yang Ning: "Little fool, I'm fine, I was just too tired last night and slept a little too much. What time is it now?"
Yang Ning: "It's 8:30. I'm going to pick up my parents-in-law."
Jun Lan: "You are so shameless! When did my parents allow you to call them that?"
Yang Ning: "They will like me to call them that, especially since the baby in your belly is mine." He also kissed Jun Lan's belly.
After Jun Lan sent Yang Ning to the car, she returned to the house alone and saw Nangong reading a book. A complex emotion suddenly flashed through her heart.
She was about to go back to her room when Nangong called her.
Nangong: "Wait, why didn't you say hello to me before leaving? What do you want for breakfast?"
Jun Lan: "I didn't sleep well last night, so I have no appetite and don't want to eat. If you want to eat, eat as much as you want!"
Nangong: "Everything was fine last night, wasn't it? Why did it change so suddenly? Did you lose your appetite or did you see that I didn't want to eat? Did you take gunpowder this morning? Otherwise, why are you so angry?"
Jun Lan: "Pregnant women are like this. Their tempers are unpredictable. I guess you'll have to bear with it slowly."
Nangong: "That's true. Dai Qing was like this when she was pregnant with Yang Ning."
When Jun Lan heard Dai Qing's name, that complicated feeling once again surged into her heart.
Jun Lan: "Actually, I've always wanted to know how Dai Qing died?"
Nangong closed the book and put it on the bookshelf.
"Do you really want to know?"
"What else? Why am I asking you?"
"I killed her." Nangong poured a glass of whiskey and started drinking.
"You were really mad with rage back then. I'll let it go, but she's the mother of your child. Are you going to kill her too?"
"You don't even know what happened, what gives you the right to say that to me?"
"Because I know that's who you are."
"She was the one who wanted to kill me first."
"Didn't you kill me for the same reason? How did your sister die?"
"You can still call me sister, do you know how scared I am that you'll ever call me brother-in-law again? After you died, Daiqing kept saying you'd definitely give birth to a child for our family. I laughed at her and said you were just dreaming, but I never thought she'd be right. After so many years and so many twists and turns, you finally got pregnant with our child. Even though he's not mine, he does have our blood flowing in his veins."
"I can't believe you haven't changed at all after all these years. No wonder Yang Ning has always refused to accept you."
"Change? Did I say I changed? Even if he refuses to accept it, so what? I am still his father after all. This is a fact that no one can change. Just like no matter how much you hate me, in the end, we still became a family. Am I wrong?"
"Tell me honestly, how did your sister die?"
"Her? Do you care? Back then, you were separated from each other, and she was one of the culprits. Don't you hate her?"
"I hate her no less than you do, but I want to know the truth."
"I don't know where she found the demon-subduing pestle you intended to use to kill me. That day, Yang Ning was just one month old. After the full-month banquet, I went to visit them that night. She unexpectedly caught me off guard and attacked me from behind, hitting me with the pestle. I pulled it out with a single movement and then stabbed her in the neck. From then on, I had a scar on my back, a scar of shame, one that no matter how much effort and money I put into it, it would never fade. I recognized the murder weapon as yours and wanted to keep it as a souvenir, but it was so evil that it seemed to have a hold on me. So I had someone send it back to your family as a relic of yours, so that your family could keep it as a memory. Later, as I grew older, I thought it was time to change my identity, so I took the two of us and the child and left the Yang Mansion. I don't know what I was thinking at the time, but I saw the painting in her room and took it with me."
"Cruel and ruthless, decisive in killing, this is truly your usual style, Yang Haoling."
Nangong: "Yes, so you'd better be good and give birth to this child safely. If anything happens to him, I will never let you go."
"You were so engrossed in talking about something that you didn't even notice we came in." Yang Ning led Jun Lan's parents to the hall.
Nangong: "Did you smile? But your wife has a stomachache and doesn't want breakfast. I was just trying to persuade her."
Aunt Lin: "How can this be possible? You are pregnant. If you don't eat, your baby will have to eat too. You may not be used to the food they cook. Tell me what you want to eat and mom will make it for you. You can't let my little grandson starve."
Old Lin quickly shook Nangong's hand and said, "This must be my uncle-in-law. He's really young and promising, having built such a large family business at such a young age. If this family business were left to my daughter, she wouldn't be able to keep it, unlike you two brothers who are so capable. This pregnant woman is troublesome. If she marries into your family, please take good care of her. She's from a poor family and doesn't know any etiquette or rituals. You must teach her and discipline her properly. Don't give face to us two old people."
Nangong: "You're welcome. Junlan is a very well-behaved child. It's me who's the poor housekeeper. It's all Yang Ning's fault for losing control and getting her pregnant before marriage. He didn't tell me earlier, otherwise I would have visited you two earlier so that I could arrange their wedding in advance."
Aunt Lin: "It's a matter of mutual affection and consensual love. Who can be blamed? This is a popular trend among young people these days. They don't listen to us anymore."
Nangong: "What my in-laws said is true. How much gift money do you plan to ask for? What are your plans for the wedding?"
Lao Lin: "You decide. Junlan will be pregnant soon and can't be overworked. You guys can take care of it. We are a small family and don't care about much."
Nangong: "Then let us arrange the wedding. I plan to give you this amount for the gift money. After all, it is not easy for you to raise such a good girl. What do you think?" He extended his index finger.
Lao Lin: "One hundred thousand?"
Nangong shook his head: "None of your daughters have this many."
Lao Lin: "One million?"
Nangong: "Ten million, how can you think it's too little?"
Aunt Lin: "Oh, Master, we are marrying off our daughter, not selling her. Just a token of your appreciation will do. Although you are rich, you don't have to give us so much. Besides, we can't afford a comparable dowry."
Nangong: "Jun Lan has discussed with me that we should try not to scare you with the gift money, so I have been very restrained. However, I still don't quite understand the current market price, so it's better for you to name the price. Don't be polite with me, as long as everyone is happy."
