Master Hong's Lucky Bride - Chapter 83

Chapter 83: 3,000,000 Dollar Allowance

In the past, if Yang Jinyan half-counted as one, but now he was nothing to her. She had already made it clear to Yang Jinyan, not to mention that what she felt for him was only puppy love. It could not even be considered as her first love. Young girls would harbor romantic feelings when they were young after all. Cen Shuang felt that she had been extremely honest with Zhuang Hong. She was quite dignified and deserving of her place in the Zhuang family.

Zhuang Hong listened to her half-hearted reply and pressed on. He frowned. “Xinyan is indeed willful.”

When Cen Shuang heard that Zhuang Hong had reflected on his sister’s shortcomings, she quickly added fuel to the fire. “That’s right. She’s too willful. She even said that she wanted to get evidence so that you would divorce me. She even wanted to chase me out of the Zhuang family.”

Zhuang Hong frowned again. Evidence?

“No.” He replied. It was an ambiguous answer.

Cen Shuang raised her eyebrows. She did not quite understand what he meant. She whispered, “She’s so unreasonable. Will you deduct her allowance?”

Zhuang Hong raised his chin slightly. He looked at Cen Shuang and suddenly smiled. This was the first time Cen Shuang had seen Zhuang Hong smile. His smile was extremely beautiful. It was like the blazing sun in winter, like it could melt the snow on the ground.

Zhuang Hong asked, “You want me to deduct her pocket money?”

Cen shuang said softly, “I don’t really want to. If my pocket money was as much as hers, I think that would be quite fair.”

Zhuang Xinyan had said before that Zhuang Hong loved her the most. Based on how rich the Zhuang family was, they would definitely give Zhuang Xinyan more than they gave her. Cen Shuang thought that Lan Yibai would give her one million and Zhuang Hong would give her three million. If she got what Zhuang Xinyan got, would she have ten million? Then she would be able to save up to buy the Cen family’s villa, right?

Zhuang Hong nodded. “Sure.”

Cen Shuang was pleasantly surprised. “You agreed!” She was going to get as much as Zhuang Xinyan was getting. She was so happy!

Zhuang Hong continued, “Of course I agreed. Zhuang Xinyan gets five hundred thousand a month. If she finds out that I’m giving you three million a month, it would indeed be inappropriate. Mrs. Zhuang, you are very thoughtful. Zhuang Xinyan should be very happy.”

Zhuang Xinyan would be happy, but she would be unhappy. “What did you say? Zhuang Xinyan gets five hundred thousand a month? Do you mean five million?”

Was Zhuang Hong deliberately missing the point?

Zhuang Hong said, “The Zhuang family advocates frugality. It’s just that she cannot spend recklessly. Giving her five hundred thousand is not a small amount.” Giving her three million was already more than one person needed.

Cen Shuang was stunned. How could she be so stupid? She did not ask Zhuang Xinyan how much allowance she got in a month first. She guessed that because she had stayed with Zhuang Xinyan for too long, her IQ had dropped just by being in her presence. “Actually, other than having a temper, your sister is still a nice person. What happened just now is all in the past. Why should the family care so much? Who hasn’t made some careless mistakes?”

She was now thinking about how to redeem her three million dollars worth of pocket money. Cen Shuang’s heart was left desperate when Zhuang Hong mentioned the five hundred thousand dollars. How could she have said that she wanted the same allowance Zhuang Xinyan was getting?

Zhuang Hong latched onto the word “Family” and nodded slightly. “Indeed, there’s no need for the family to be calculative.”

In any case, when Cen Shuang fought with Zhuang Xinyan, she was not the one who suffered a loss. On the other hand, Zhuang Xinyan ran away crying just now. Cen Shuang smiled embarrassedly. “I was just spouting nonsense because I was too angry. Why don’t you forget what I said just now?”

Zhuang Hong asked with a chuckle, “What did you say just now?”

When faced with this question, Cen Shuang did not dare to bring up her allowance again. She was afraid that she would remind Zhuang Hong about reducing it, so she quickly changed the topic. She pointed at an exquisite box on his lap. “I heard that you went out today. Who did you buy a gift for? Mom or Zhuang Xinyan? I’ll help you bring it to them.”

Zhuang Hong retracted his gaze and handed over the blue box. “It’s for you!”

Cen Shuang was a little surprised. “For me? That’s embarrassing.” She had just bullied his sister. Plus, every month, she was receiving an allowance from his family and now she was receiving gifts from Zhuang Hong. She was quite embarrassed. Although she thought so, she still took the box and opened it happily on the bed.

Such a big box but it was not heavy. It must be a piece of clothing. Cen Shuang thought about whether she should wash up and change into it so Zhuang Hong could see her try it on. Inside was the ‘Blue Comet’ outfit. It was bright red and festive, and the golden seams were catching the light. Every color was so delicate, and it showed great care and love. She still remembered her mother telling her about how happy she was when she wore the wedding dress. She still remembered how she and her father played together. At that time, she was still young and did not understand the love between her parents. She only felt that she was very happy every time she looked at them. She still remembered being fifteen years old…
