"Then...then you do what you can." Father Qiao said after careful consideration, saving enough face for Fu Shaoting.
"Okay." Fu Shaoting nodded slightly.
Father Qiao sent the two of them to the door, closed the door, took out a bank card from his pocket, and put it into Qiao Man's hand.
"Dad, what is this?" Qiao Man looked at him in surprise.
Father Qiao sighed softly and lowered his voice: "This is the private money I have saved over the years, about two hundred thousand. Now that you are married, this money will be regarded as your dowry. You keep it. The password is you ’s birthday.”
Qiao Man was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to push the card back to Qiao's father: "Dad, I can't accept it."
"Be obedient and accept it. This is Dad's wish and a blessing for you. You have suffered a lot of grievances at home in the past few years. It's no use to Dad." Father Qiao said with guilt in his eyes.
Qiao Man's eyes turned red and her voice became choked: "Dad, this is not your fault."
She knew that her father was a good man, and he only wanted peace and harmony at home.
But neither Liu Yingying nor her mother can save money.
Father Qiao turned to look at Fu Shaoting, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly: "Xiao Fu, you are a good person. I will leave Manman to you. I hope you can treat her well in the future."
After saying that, Father Qiao smiled bitterly: "After all, this is the situation at home, and you saw it today."
Fu Shaoting sensed Qiao's father's painstaking care for Qiao Man, and felt a little complicated and filled with emotions.
"Dad, don't worry, I will be good to Qiao Man." Fu Shaoting sincerely agreed to Qiao's father's entrustment.
Since he chose to get married to Qiao Man, he had a responsibility towards her.
Father Qiao smiled with relief and looked at Qiao Man sadly: "From now on, you and I will live a good life."
"I understand, Dad..." Qiao Man nodded with a sour nose.
Back in the car, Qiao Man turned to Fu Shaoting, her eyes flashing with sincere apology, and she took the lead in breaking the stagnant atmosphere: "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, for not telling you the details of my family in advance. You saw the situation in my family today. If …”
Qiao Man bit her lower lip and plucked up the courage to say, "I can totally understand if you regret this marriage."
"Ms. Qiao has a tough nature. She has been able to face life optimistically since she was born in such a family. This makes me appreciate this very much." Fu Shaoting said in a serious tone with his thin lips slightly raised.
Qiao Man's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time someone praised her like this.
Everyone around her used to think that such a family was a drag on her, and since she was born into such a family, she must also be a carefree person.
"Mr. Fu... thank you." Qiao Man's eyes moved slightly, and there was an inexplicable emotion flowing in her heart.
Immediately she couldn't help but smile bitterly, and her voice was a bit fragile: "So you should also understand why I want to marry myself in a flash marriage... But the situation in my family is too complicated. If you feel that you can't maintain this marriage, we can …”
Qiao Man wanted to say that they could divorce, although she also wanted to maintain this flash marriage. After all, Fu Shaoting was indeed a good person, and it could prevent her from being "sold" by her mother's coercion.
But before she could say anything, a warm embrace suddenly came to her, covering her up.
Qiao Man opened her eyes slightly, filled with astonishment.
A pleasant scent of cedar wrapped around her, making Qiao Man's ears feel hot for no reason. She subconsciously wanted to push Fu Shaoting away, but then thought that they were already a married couple who had received the certificate. Before hesitating, Fu Shaoting had already let her go.
His dark and deep eyes looked directly into Qiao Man's almond-shaped eyes: "I know you are uneasy because of what happened today. Since I married you, I will naturally be responsible for you. I will try my best to meet the conditions proposed by your family. You don't have to Worry."
"An amount as large as one million is too unfair to you, and I have always believed that marriage is a matter of two people, but we should try not to cause too much trouble to the other half."
Qiao Man expressed her views on marriage with a serious expression: "The bride price is my problem. I will find a solution to my family's difficulties. The most important thing is that you have to pay back the mortgage and car loan, and raise children. What else can you do?" I don’t need you to share the money for me.”
Fu Shaoting disagreed with her statement, "Since marriage is a matter between two people, you can't take everything on yourself. Giving a bride price is a matter of course."
"I know, but one million is too much. If it weren't for such an outrageous amount... You, an ordinary salaryman, can pay off your salary to take out a loan to support your children. Even if you have savings, how can you come up with so much?"
At this point, Qiao Man couldn't help but make a joke: "Unless you lied to me, you are actually a rich man."
She even laughed at the words, which was simply impossible.
Unexpectedly, Fu Shaoting's eyebrows moved slightly, and he asked with interest: "What if I am really a rich man? Spending one million may be a drop in the bucket for me."
Even though she knew Fu Shaoting was joking, Qiao Man looked serious and added with seriousness in her eyes: "If this is really the case, then I will definitely not forgive you. I hate being deceived the most, especially by people close to me..."
