Or rather... where do you go to rob it?
Realizing he had raised his voice a bit, he suddenly softened his tone and whispered to the girl, "I wasn't yelling at you..."
Sun Ruoxi, her eyes red, remained silent.
The room was quiet for a while.
Seeing that Sun Ruoxi didn't seem to be leaving, Li Sinian became curious. After hesitating for a moment, he stood up, sniffed, and said:
"It's getting late, let me take you home."
......
"Chen Lu and I don't even have that much money combined right now! Is her damn mother selling her daughter? Why doesn't she just rob her?"
As expected, Jiang Chao's cursing and shouting came from the other end of the phone.
Li Sinian stood on the balcony, looking at the night outside, and just listened quietly.
"So I don't know what to do." He unconsciously let out a long sigh. "I just took Sun Ruoxi back."
"So you actually returned it intact..." Jiang Chao clicked his tongue and asked again, "Are you a pig?"
Li Sinian gave a wry smile, "I don't know what I was thinking, I just, I just like her too much."
"What a stupid habit! Her mother clearly didn't intend for you two to use all this after your wedding. She's really something else!"
"They're both only daughters. Her daughter is covered in diamonds, worth five Liu Yans?... Ouch, that hurts! Don't hit me, I'm talking about serious matters."
Jiang Chao kept complaining on the other end of the line, while Li Sinian listened silently, letting the noise and her complicated thoughts gradually dissipate in the night.
......
After changing her clothes, Sun Ruoxi waited until her eyes weren't so red before mustering up the courage to come to the living room.
A middle-aged woman with curly hair was sitting on the sofa, one leg crossed, watching TV with a cold expression.
"Mom, can we not ask for such a high bride price?"
She walked slowly to her mother, looked at the cold-faced woman, and tentatively asked in a low voice.
"No." The woman continued to stare at the television, her expression unchanged.
The response was as expected.
Over the years, she had heard "no" countless times, and if it weren't for the special circumstances this time, she wouldn't even bother asking again.
"Why? Si Nian is so good to me, I like him a lot..."
"He can't even come up with 300,000 yuan, how will he give you a better life in the future?"
Sun Ruoxi found it unbelievable, "Mom, anyway, the bride price will eventually be used by him and me, so why do we need so much?"
"Are you stupid? Of course I'll keep this money for you. What if you and he spend it and then he doesn't want you anymore?"
Sun Ruoxi paused for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "This is my own business."
"What did you say?"
“I said…” Just one glance from her seemed to drain her of all her strength, and she whispered, “I want to make this decision myself.”
"I raised you all by myself, and all you've learned is to talk back to me?" The middle-aged woman's tears instantly welled up as she sobbed, "You're my only child. I didn't remarry because I was afraid your stepfather would bully you, and this is how you treat me!"
"Your dad divorced me so early, how hard did it take for your mom to raise you...?"
Sun Ruoxi felt like she was hearing this so many times she was sick of it. She frowned, her eyes reddening, and said:
"Don't cry, I'll listen to you."
late at night.
Hearing the living room clock chime twice, Sun Ruoxi, who hadn't fallen asleep, opened her eyes and picked up her phone again to take a look.
The chat window between the two remained frozen on Li Sinian's last words: "Go to sleep early."
During this time, she did not send any more messages to Li Sinian, and Li Sinian did not contact her either.
She hesitated for a long time, unable to think of anything else to say.
What else is there to say?
The thought of not saying anything made her want to cry even more, so she sent Li Sinian four words through her teary eyes.
I wish you happiness.
Just as she was about to turn off her phone, she suddenly saw a bubble machine icon in her contact list.
She had heard Li Sinian talk about Liang Zhirou's family situation and felt that the two were quite similar in some ways.
Can I ask you a question?
Sun Ruoxi sent a message as if possessed.
Liang Zhirou replied quickly: "Of course you can."
Sun Ruoxi: What if your mother asks Chen Lu for a dowry of 300,000 yuan, but Chen Lu can't afford it?
Liang Zhirou: Hmm... I'll probably cry and beg my mom.
Sun Ruoxi: What if it's no use even if I beg?
She waited for a very, very long time.
Just when Sun Ruoxi thought Liang Zhirou wouldn't reply, she received another message.
Liang Zhirou: I will elope with him.
