“I think it’s too much!” Song Yao said calmly.
Lin Shu frowned.
Was it a lot? According to the standards of marriage in the capital, it was indeed a lot. However, Zuo Huo was different from them. The girl he liked was naturally different from other women. Therefore, when Zuo Huo told him about this, Lin Shu agreed without thinking!
Zuo Huo frowned. “Just keep it.”
“No! This money is too much!” Song Yao frowned.
She knew that Zuo Huo was rich, but no matter how rich he was, he could not spend it like this!
Zuo Huo smiled. She knew that Song Yao’s heart ached for his money. She said, “If you really want to marry me, take all this money.”
“No!” Song Yao immediately refused, but when she saw Zuo 1–1u0’S disappointed expression, she immediately changed her words. “It’s fine if you want me to accept it! But I’ll return this money as my dowry. You won’t object, right?”
The corners of Zuo Hu0’S lips twitched. After a while, he said, “Yao, I’m not as poor as you think. Take this money first. I still have a lot.”
“No!” Song Yao said, “I only have one request! Aren’t you going to agree to it?”
“You…” Zuo Huo rubbed the space between his eyebrows. Song Yao continued, “How much betrothal money did you bring?
Zuo Huo: “Thirty thousand.”
Song Yao said, “The betrothal gift is 30,000 yuan, two houses in the capital, and a small car. These things are already quite a lot, so I plan to return the 30 ,ooo yuan dowry. It’S a total of 60,000 yuan.
Let’S bring it back to our family, okay?”
Zuo Huo was shocked by Song Yao’s attitude.
Thirty thousand yuan as a dowry? She might as well return the betrothal gift intact!
He said, “I agree to you returning it intact! But the money must be in your hands! Otherwise, what kind of person will I become?
Song Yao knew that this was the biggest concession Zuo Huo had made. She said, “No problem!” Gu Fang heard their conversation and could not react for a long time!
Forget about the 30,000 yuan betrothal gift, there were actually two houses in the capital? Who was he bluffing?
“Forget about the 30,000 yuan betrothal gift! Two houses in the capital? Who are you lying to? For a peddler to be able to take out so much money, it’s already equivalent to selling a lousy house in his hometown and borrowing money from loan sharks, right?”
After Gu Fang finished speaking, she even pulled Gu Li over and said, “I don’t think this man is reliable. He sells cigarettes so arrogantly. What if Yao suffers with him? In my opinion, she should follow me to the county’s restaurant to work. I’m her aunt after all. I can take care of her.” Gu Li’s expression darkened even more when she heard this. She blamed herself.
Wouldn’t it be fine if she explained it to Gu Fang a few more times? How could Zuo Huo sell cigarettes?
“Gu Fang, listen to my explanation. Zuo Huo is not…”
“Don’t explain! I still don’t know what’s going on.” After Gu Fang finished speaking, she even looked like she knew everything, making Gu Li very uncomfortable.
Gu Fang said, “Yao’s boyfriend. It’s really not that I want to criticize you, but why are you pretending to be so high-profile as a small vendor selling cigarettes? A house in the capital? Who doesn’t know how a rich man look like? I don’t believe that you can gather 30,000 yuan as a betrothal gift. Tell me, is there only a thin layer of cash notes on top?”
After Gu Fang finished speaking, she wanted to reach for the money in her bag, but she was stopped by Lin Shu.
“Who are you? What right do you have to touch Sister-in-law’s money?”
Zuo Huo and Song Yao couldn’t be bothered with Gu Fang. Lin Shu wasn’t afraid of him!
He pushed Gu Fang away and said, “Sister, where did you come from? You even pretend? Also, who told you that our Eldest Brother is a cigarette vendor?”
Lin Shu was about to die of anger!
Gu Fang was dumbfounded. “If he’s not a vendor, what else can he be?”
She looked at Zuo Huo with a mocking expression. “Could he be some big boss? If he’s really a big boss, why would he fall for a second-hand woman who’s clueless and has a child? I don’t believe it!” “Why not! Watch your mouth!” Lin Shu was furious by Gu Fang’s words.
If it was in the past, he would have quarreled with Gu Fang no matter what. However, it had been a long time since he had quarreled with such a scolding shrew!
“You said that my brother sells cigarettes? That’s because my brother keeps a low profile! But you actually believed it. How stupid!”
“Alright! I’ll tell you the truth today! My brother is the section chief of the Tobacco Bureau! This is his work pass!” After Lin Shu finished speaking, he showed Zuo Huo’s work pass to Gu Fang. He was also furious. This was the first time he had seen such a strange person in his life..
