She Becomes Glamorous After The Engagement Annulment Ⅱ - Chapter 689

Chapter 689: Discussing the Marriage (6)

How quickly they had registered it… Caught completely unprepared.

Shen Xiu was certainly not going to save them any face.

Dad Xia’s face clouded over. He cleared his throat and retorted, “That’s right, they did it too quickly. We weren’t prepared either when we heard the news. These two kids can’t be relied on to do things properly!”

He brought Shen Zihao into the picture again.

Shen Xiu furrowed his brow and agreed, “That’s right. Zihao was brought up in our home, it’s a simple environment. He’s seen little of the outside world and doesn’t know much. I have to apologize to you both, in-laws.”

There was such mockery in this words!

Dad Xia was beginning to look most displeased.

The meaning of those words couldn’t be more obvious.

Wasn’t he implying that Shen Zihao was innocent and the marriage had been the result of his daughter’s manipulation?

S*ck that!

He simply should not be insulting people like that.

Dad Xia hung his head and said, “So, my in-law, are you saying that this marriage doesn’t look good?”

Shen Xiu hung his head even lower.

Before Dad Xia could say anything else, Mom Xia tugged at his sleeve.

Dad Xia took a deep breath and made a great effort to control his anger. “Now that we’ve come to this situation now, what are you saying?”

“Of course, we need to throw a big event. Our Shen family wedding will not be a small event. Otherwise, others will look down on us.”

And…

So prior to this, what he had really meant was that it didn’t look good that a commoner like Xia Nuannuan was marrying into their family?

Xia Nuannuan’s eyes were stinging with anger now.

She bit her lip and suddenly stood up, saying, “I- I’m feeling unwell. Dad, Mom, why don’t we just go home for now?”

She was really regretting bringing her parents here to be insulted like this.

Shen Xiu’s intentions were very clear. He didn’t like her and he looked down on her.

The moment Xia Nuannuan spoke, he looked at her abdomen and said, “What’s the matter? Is something wrong with my grandchild? Hurry, Mei Feng, call the family doctor and get him to come and have a look.”

This was the real difference between the wealthy people and common folks like themselves. When someone rich was sick, they would get a family doctor to do a house call, rather than go to a hospital.

Dad Xia and Mom Xia exchanged a look. Both of them felt like there was a giant rock weighing down on their chest.

Would their daughter really be happy marrying into such a family?

They sighed deeply.

Shen Xiu kept looking at Xia Nuannuan’s abdomen.

Actually, he really wanted a grandchild too.

Given this, he decided to stop being difficult and continued, “Why don’t we do this? There is an auspicious date in a month from now. We will help them prepare for the wedding. Do you have any requests?”

Finally, they were hearing something reasonable.

Dad Xia and Mom Xia exchanged a glance, then heaved a sigh of relief.

Dad Xia hurriedly said, “We have no requests, we just want the children to be happy.”

Shen Xiu nodded. Then frowning, he said after a pause, “We intend to give them a cash gift of 8.88 million, what about your dowry?”

He felt he had to make this clear, in case the other party decided on a dowry of a hundred thousand. That would look truly ugly.

When Dad Xia heard 8.88 million, he turned pale immediately.

8.88 million!

He had never seen that much money in all his life.

But now, he was being asked about the dowry, so what could he possibly say?

Dad Xia and Mom Xia exchanged another glance before Dad Xia said, “We’ll give a dowry of 9.99 million to marry off our daughter.”

Adding 1.11 million to the 8.88 million cash gift would be a decent dowry.

Although they weren’t very rich, Xia Nuannuan was his only daughter, so it had to look good for her.

Dad Xia decided that he would borrow some money once they got home.
