"What?! The bride price is only 200,000? Why do you have the nerve to say it?"
"If I hadn't heard from Nana that you work in the city hospital, you would be carrying eight sedans, and I wouldn't have made a special trip here!"
"Let's make it clear. If you can't come up with one million yuan for this gift, you should give up on your desire to marry my Nana!"
In the bright western restaurant, Zhao Guixiang slapped the table heavily and kept scolding Chen Xu, spittle flying everywhere.
"Auntie...one million? This...is this too much?"
Facing his prospective mother-in-law, Chen Xu's face was filled with disbelief.
Doesn't such a high betrothal price push people to a dead end?
Zhao Guixiang looked at Chen Xu, with contempt written on his face.
"What? Judging from your posture, it seems you are unwilling?"
"Hmph! You are just a wild boar that escaped from nowhere in the mountains. Nana has been with you for so long. It can be said that your ancestors have accumulated good deeds!"
"You kid, you still dare to be ignorant? Isn't it just one million? Isn't that much... I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. As for our Nana, who is a natural beauty, there are not even ten thousand but eight thousand people chasing her. And each of them is better than you!"
After hearing these words, Chen Xu's face gradually darkened.
What happened to being born in a rural area?
Is it because of this that I am inferior to others?
Chen Xu clenched his fists and turned to look at his girlfriend Liu Nana, "Nana, the 200,000 yuan gift mentioned before has already emptied my family's wealth. I will never be able to come up with this one million! If you want If you live with me, please advise your mother not to push her so hard!"
After saying this, Chen Xu carefully observed Liu Nana's eyes.
But at this time, Liu Nana's eyes were evasive and she did not look at Chen Xu at all.
"Chen Xu, you can get 200,000 yuan, why not get 800,000 yuan more? My mother is right, the betrothal gift is a guarantee for me! If you really like me, then you I will definitely try my best to collect enough gifts!”
After Liu Nana finished speaking, she tilted her head to the side to make her position clear.
Just when Chen Xu wanted to argue again, Zhao Guixiang took over.
"Look at the man you picked. How dare you want to get married even if you don't have money?"
"If we really let him get married, how can we live a good life in the future?"
"Hmph! Mom will contact the eldest son of the Li family for you now. Didn't he confess to you last time? I think you will marry into the Li family. This may not be a good choice!"
After Zhao Guixiang finished speaking, she glared at Chen Xu, then took out her mobile phone, pressed a few numbers and dialed.
A few minutes later.
There was a shout at the door.
"Hey, isn't this my good godmother? I haven't seen her for a few days, but I miss her so much!"
Li Mingshan, the eldest son of the Li family, wearing a suit and leather shoes, stepped into the western restaurant, walked straight to Zhao Guixiang and gave him a big hug, making Zhao Guixiang giggle.
"Master Li, I feel so comfortable when you call me godmother! In that case, godmother will make the decision for you today. Your marriage to Nana will be finalized now!"
Zhao Guixiang enthusiastically pulled Li Mingshan to sit down next to her and served him tea and water.
Li Mingshan took the tea cup and took a sip, then pointed his finger at Chen Xu and asked in an extremely exaggerated tone: "Godmother, are you doing a good deed? You actually invited a stinky beggar to the table for dinner?"
"Ahem... My good godson, this is not a stinky beggar, he is the intern doctor who dated Nana before... Hey, I really made you laugh!"
As Zhao Guixiang spoke, she stood behind Li Mingshan and squeezed his shoulders flatteringly.
"Oh, such a stinky beggar is not worthy of Nana! Godmother, don't worry, as long as you are willing to marry Nana to me, I will immediately give you three million as a gift to honor you!"
As he spoke, Li Mingshan looked at Chen Xu with a provocative look, then took out a bank card from his pocket and threw it on the dining table.
Chen Xu lowered his head. Ever since he was a child, had he ever suffered such humiliation?
At this moment, he only felt the burning pain in his cheek.
At this moment, the cell phone rang rapidly.
Chen Xu picked up the phone and took a look. It was his mother calling.
"There is really no tutor!"
Zhao Guixiang scolded her slightly when she saw this, with disgust written all over her face.
Chen Xu took a deep breath and immediately pressed the answer button.
"Mom, what's the matter?"
"Xu'er, Mom is a little worried... How was your conversation with Nana and aunt?"
"This...Mom, don't worry, everything is going well here!"
"Then this is great! How did the discussion go? When will the marriage be finalized?"
"It was discussed... It's okay. Nana's mother is very kind to me. She treats me as her own son. As for the day... we have to talk about it later."
Although Chen Xu lowered his voice very low, these few words were still heard by Zhao Guixiang and others sitting across from him.
Zhao Guixiang immediately stood up and rushed to Chen Xu's side, then roared loudly.
"Date? Engagement? I think you are daydreaming! Was it your mother who called you? Bring the cell phone and let me say a few words to this old woman!"
After saying that, he stepped forward and grabbed Chen Xu's cell phone.
"give me back……"
Chen Xu wanted to stop him, but it was too late. Zhao Guixiang was crossing his arms and shouting into the microphone.
"You are Chen Xu's mother, right? You have really raised a good son! You don't even want to pay the bride price, you just want to have sex for nothing, right?"
"You're such a loser son. You don't have a car, a house, no savings, and you haven't even gotten a regular job. What's wrong with me asking for a betrothal gift and a guarantee? Is this wrong?"
"Listen to me now! The bride price is not the 200,000 as promised before, but now someone wants to take 3 million to marry my daughter! So I think we won't talk about your son... What? What did you just say? What, are you serious?"
I don't know what was said on the other end of the phone. Zhao Guixiang's frown relaxed and her whole face lit up with joy.
A few minutes later, Zhao Guixiang hung up the phone and returned the phone to Chen Xu with a smile.
"Although you are not sensible, your mother is pretty good..."
"Just do as your mother said, come over the day after tomorrow to get engaged, and we'll discuss the time!"
"By the way, don't forget to bring the three million that your mother promised!"
With that said, Zhao Guixiang took Liu Nana's arm and walked away. Before leaving, she didn't forget to steal Li Mingshan's bank card from the table.
Chen Xu didn't pay attention to this, but was holding the phone in a daze.
Just when he was puzzled, his phone vibrated slightly.
A text message with text and photos popped up.
"Xu'er, Mom's biggest wish in this life is for you to get married! It's a pity that Mom can't watch you walk into the palace with her own eyes... From now on, you and Nana will live a good life, and Mom will leave first!"
The photo below the text is of a personal accident insurance policy.
The amount on the policy is no more, no less, it is three million!
