HCB Chapter 353 Dowry
Chapter 353 Dowry
After Lin Zhiyi accepted Sang Li's proposal, she originally wanted to have a meal together with the parents of both families.
However, Sang Li said that the ceremony should still be given to her.
Lin Zhiyi couldn't persuade him and agreed to hold the engagement ceremony.
But it can only be a small ceremony, and the bigwigs in their circle will not be invited.
She was afraid that her identity would make things difficult for Sang Li.
Sang Li also agreed.
After confirming it, Lin Zhiyi calmed down for two days before telling Liu He about the proposal.
As a result, the next day, Liu He came to see her early in the morning.
As soon as she entered the room, Liu He stared at her face from left to right, and said with some disdain: "Why is your skin a little dry?"
Lin Zhiyi touched his cheek and said, "Maybe it's the changing season."
Liu He stuffed a beauty card into her hand: "I've topped up your account, remember to go for regular maintenance."
Lin Zhiyi looked down at the black card in her hand. This beauty salon is one of the best in Beijing.
The minimum amount required to get a black card is one million.
"Mom, you..."
Before she finished speaking, Liu He took out a thin envelope from her bag.
"This is the dowry I prepared for you."
"dowry?"
Lin Zhiyi hesitantly opened the envelope and took out a check.
The numbers above are...
"Three million!" Lin Zhiyi didn't even dare to blink and just counted the zeros.
"More than that." Liu He raised her eyebrows and smiled, then took out two more property deeds from her bag, "These are also bought for you. If you don't like them, just sell them and choose new ones."
Lin Zhiyi opened the property deed and was stunned.
Although the houses are not big, the locations are good and each one costs about three million.
After calculating this way, Liu He took out nearly 10 million yuan as her dowry.
Lin Zhiyi held the check in one hand and the property deed in the other. She felt like she was dreaming, and her voice sounded unreal: "Mom, you... blew up the bank?"
In their previous life, although Gong Shiyan and Liu He bore the title of the second master and second wife of the Gong family, because the old man deliberately made things difficult for them, their food, clothing and other expenses were not even as good as those of the Gong family's relatives.
Recently, Lin Zhiyi heard that because Gong Shiyan insisted on living outside with Liu He, many of his private properties were seized by the old man, so he naturally could not get any profits.
Logically, their lives should be much worse than before.
How could Liu He still come up with so much money?
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid?" Liu He's face was full of joy and she couldn't stop smiling.
Lin Zhiyi said worriedly: "Mom, you didn't take the money from the Gong family to give me a dowry? Take it back quickly. If the old man finds out, he will definitely..."
"No." Liu He interrupted and said solemnly, "I earned it myself."
"Earn? Have you found a job?"
Lin Zhiyi really couldn't think of any other job that could make so much money in just a few days.
Liu He covered her lips and smiled: "Do you still remember Aunt Jiang?"
Lin Zhiyi thought about it.
I did think of such a person.
Before Liu He got married, she had a colleague named Jiang who often bought delicious food for Lin Zhiyi.
He is eloquent and has the best performance among Liu He's colleagues.
Later, for some unknown reason, he resigned and left Beijing.
"What does this have to do with Aunt Jiang?" Lin Zhiyi asked back.
"She went to work somewhere else and made a fortune. This time she came back to Beijing to invest. She introduced me to a good project. It's a good investment that will pay off several times over. It's just the right amount for your dowry."
Liu He pressed Lin Zhiyi's hand, signaling her to put everything away.
Lin Zhiyi had heard Liu He mention Aunt Jiang before. She was obsessed with making money and was very flexible.
It's no surprise that he can make a lot of money.
But this feeling of having a pillow given to you when you doze off made Lin Zhiyi inexplicably worried.
"Mom, is the project reliable? Have you asked your uncle? He must know."
"No, I know what you want to say. I'm not greedy, so I took out a little bit of my private money to try it out. It just so happens that you're getting engaged, so I'll take it out first to buy you a dowry. After the engagement is over, I won't invest any more money."
Liu He obviously didn't take it to heart, thinking that the money was just her own pocket money and had nothing to do with the Gong family.
If there is profit to be made later, she will hand it over to Gong Shiyan.
If she suffered a loss, she didn't want to bother Gong Shiyan with such a small matter.
Lin Zhiyi was still worried after hearing this. After all, Aunt Jiang hadn't returned to Beijing for several years, and she usually only sent blessings to Liu He group during the holidays.
How could you introduce such a big project to Liu He?
The key point is that Lin Zhiyi searched his mind and had not heard of any news of any major projects at this point in time in his previous life.
Just as she was about to ask, Sang Li called.
"Zhiyi, I have an appointment to see a restaurant at noon. I'm already in the community. You can come downstairs."
"Okay, but my mom is here, how about coming together?"
Lin Zhiyi looked at Liu He's eager eyes and asked anyway.
Liu He to her is like Ren Xue to Ren Xiya.
They are each other's lifeline.
Although Liu He is timid and fearful, he is not like Ren Xue who would betray or use her daughter.
On the contrary, Liu He gave her only more love.
Sang Li laughed and said, "Zhiyi, what you said is true. How can I offend my future mother-in-law?"
"Freeze said."
Lin Zhiyi felt a little embarrassed and hung up the phone directly.
A few minutes later, she and Liu He got into Sang Li's car and went to the restaurant together.
When getting off the car, Sang Li was still gentlemanly and reached out to help her.
He glanced at her empty fingers: "Why don't you wear a ring?"
Lin Zhiyi said helplessly: "It seems a bit big, but it is obviously my size. It almost fell off the day before yesterday. I can only put it away for now."
Sang Li paused, his eyes full of meaning.
"Send it for revision tomorrow."
"Ah."
When they entered the restaurant, they were greeted by the manager.
It was a very cozy little hall with two small tables, and Lin Zhiyi was very satisfied.
The manager continued, "We have prepared food tastings in the next room."
"it is good."
The three followed the manager to the next door to try the food.
The previous dishes were all good, but Liu He was not very satisfied.
"Although there are only two tables of people, we still have to have everything we need. We have to have two main dishes here."
"Mom, we already have seafood. I think we should forget about the main dishes." Lin Zhiyi suggested.
Sang Li opened the menu directly: "I think what the Second Madam said is right. We still have to have what we should have, and add two more hard dishes."
The manager nodded.
The angelica and codonopsis chicken soup and crystal pork elbow were served soon.
Lin Zhiyi felt sick of it just by hearing the name.
I don’t know if it was the taste of angelica and codonopsis that made her feel a little uncomfortable.
When the chicken soup was first handed to her, her stomach turned upside down.
Liu He took a sip and exclaimed that the taste was authentic. He turned to look at Lin Zhiyi and said, "Why don't you drink it?"
Lin Zhiyi pursed her lips: "I can't drink it."
"Yeah, it's not time for dinner yet, but you can try it. If it doesn't work, you can change to something else." Liu He urged.
"Ah."
Lin Zhiyi took a bite and found the complex taste a little hard to swallow.
"Not bad." Seeing that Sang Li and Liu He both thought it was good, she didn't say anything.
"Then try this pork elbow."
Sang Li signaled the manager to cut it open.
The manager walked forward with a smile and cut the pork elbow with a knife and fork.
Lin Zhiyi watched the elbow being cut open, glistening with greasy luster, and even the sound of cutting the meat was infinitely amplified.
She stood up all of a sudden: "I'm going to the bathroom."
Without waiting for Liu He and Sang Li to speak, she turned and rushed out.
She vomited out her undigested breakfast directly in the bathroom.
Only after she vomited everything out did she feel better.
When she washed her face and walked out of the bathroom, a clean handkerchief was handed to her.
The man's deep voice slowly sounded: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
