Chapter 67: Because of This Little Money, You're Going to Beat Me!
When Xia Dongcheng and Li Meilan came, Gu Yan was still in the company and did not come back.
Xia Ranran prepared a table of meals and beckoned them in, even if she was mentally prepared, she still felt uncomfortable when she saw Xia Yuyan dressed up.
Thinking that this was the initiator three years ago, Xia Ranran couldn't wait to send her to court in the next second.
Li Meilan didn't notice Xia Ranran's eyes, her attention was on the decoration of the entire room.
originally thought that Xia Ranran was married to a poor bastard, but now it seems that he can afford to buy a house here, and the decoration is high-grade, it seems that this Gu Yan's family background is not bad.
She swept her eyes around, and finally stopped at the bright red rose on the table.
Not only is her family background acceptable, but she is also very interested in Xia Ranran, Li Meilan's face is smiling, today's things should be smoother than expected.
Xia Ranran welcomed the three of them in, the fruits bought from the supermarket were already on the table, she made a pot of tea, turned around and continued to go to the kitchen to be busy.
Li Meilan, who was sitting on the sofa, glanced at Xia Dongcheng.
"Brother Dong, I still want you to talk to her about this matter in person, and Yu Yan and I have some tea here."
Xia Dongcheng saw that he couldn't prevaricate, so he slowly got up and walked to the kitchen.
Xia Ranran saw Xia Dongcheng coming in, and the movements in his hands did not stop: "Dad, you sit down for a while, and there is one last dish." ”
"Ranran." Xia Dongcheng looked at Xia Ranran's busy hands and slowly spoke: "Why hasn't Gu Yan come back yet." ”
"It should be almost there." Xia Ranran gently shook the water droplets on his hand, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch: "He's a little busy today, and he's already rushing back." ”
Xia Dongcheng saw that Gu Yan was not there, but he felt a lot more comfortable.
"What is the relationship between the two of you, you are a flash marriage, and Dad has always been worried about this."
The movement in Xia Ranran's hand paused, and his suspicious eyes couldn't help but glance at Xia Dongcheng who was standing behind him, and said lightly: "We're fine." ”
"That's good."
There was silence in the kitchen, and only the regular sound of chopping vegetables could be heard.
Xia Dongcheng stood for a while, and finally broke the silence: "Ranran, you and Xiao Gu are flash marriages, there is no emotional foundation, I don't know what it will be like in the future, Dad came today just to talk to him about the bride price." ”
When Xia Ranran heard this, she simply put down the kitchen knife in her hand.
"When we got married, we said yes, no bride price."
"Dad understands that Gu Yan's family background is not so good, and it is very difficult to buy this wedding room, the bride price can be a formality, if you really can't take it out, just take the vase last time to make a show."
That day, even Xia Ranran could see that the vase was worth a lot of money, and later she went to ask Gu Yan, sure enough, it was an antique, or the second aunt Gu Nianjin went to the auction to auction it back.
It's been so long, and they came to the door, and it turned out that they were playing this idea.
Xia Ranran looked at the various ingredients prepared in front of her, and couldn't help but laugh at herself, sure enough, she couldn't have any expectations for Xia Dongcheng.
"Dad, the bride price is not a problem, I will discuss it with Gu Yan, and he will definitely not refuse." Xia Ranran said, glanced back, and saw Li Meilan and Xia Yuyan sitting in the restaurant drinking tea, her voice was a little lowered: "As long as you give me what my mother left." ”
Xia Dongcheng's voice became more and more hoarse: "Ranran, you and Xiao Gu have just gotten married, why do you elbow out, Dad is also thinking about you, you have no emotional foundation, the freshness is temporary, and the bride price is also to give you a guarantee." ”
Xia Ranran smiled: "The guarantee is true, but it's just a guarantee for Xia Yuyan, right?" ”
"That bottle is Gu Yan's thing, it is considered a pre-marital property, I have no right to call the shots, and Dad, you don't want me to be pointed at not long after I got married, and someone pointed at me and said that I had to take everything to my mother's house, and when the time comes, because of this, I will be looked down upon in my mother-in-law's house, and you will lose your face at that time."
Xia Dongcheng was speechless for a while.
After a while, he opened his mouth to explain: "Ran Ran, dad didn't mean that, you and Yu Yan are both father's daughters, of course I hope you all have a good life......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Xia Ranran.
"Yes, I'm your daughter, if you don't say it, I almost forgot, and I think I'm not my own, I can't be the master of the bottle, you take what my mother left as a dowry, I will definitely let my in-laws give you a considerable dowry."
Xia Ranran said like a cannonball, and her voice attracted Li Meilan.
She walked to the door, her body half leaning against the door frame, and her face had a bitter expression that was good for Xia Ranran.
"Ran Ran, why do you talk to your father like this, you and Yu Yan are both daughters of the Xia family, of course they are the same, you just say that your father is partial, why don't you say that Yu Yan went to associate with the young master of the Yang family for the sake of the Xia family's company, you are also the daughter of the Xia family, you should also do something."
As she spoke, she stepped forward to give Xia Dongcheng a good breath.
If outsiders look at it at a glance, it seems that Xia Ranran did all this wrong, she is an unfilial daughter and will be angry with her father to death.
Xia Ranran didn't have the heart to cook, she turned around, unbuttoned the apron around her waist, and sneered.
"The future of this company is my sister's, she shouldn't have to contribute, let's talk ......" Xia Ranran glanced at Xia Dongcheng deeply, bit her lip and finally spoke.
"The Xia family's company, does it have to rely on selling their daughters to survive?"
These words seemed to stimulate Xia Dongcheng's nerves, making his face change instantly, and he changed his previous submissive appearance, and raised his right hand high.
Li Meilan didn't stop it, holding her arms with her hands and looking like she was watching a play.
Xia Dongcheng's hand stayed in the air for a few seconds, and finally put it down, he let out a long sigh, reached out to touch his jacket pocket, and found that the cigarette was left in the living room by him.
Xia Ranran didn't expect Xia Dongcheng to really try to do something to her, and she couldn't react when she stood there for a long time.
She didn't understand how one sentence made Xia Dongcheng react so much.
In my impression, after Xia's mother died, he has always been submissive, every time she argues with Li Meilan or Xia Yuyan, he always bows his head and smokes, and does not say a word.
She has always blamed Li Meilan for the resentment brought by her original family, and for Xia Dongcheng, the only blood relative in the world, she has always excused him by deceiving herself.
"Dad, are you going to do it to me now because of a vase?"
The chill in Xia Ranran's eyes became more and more intense.
"Ranran, don't blame your father, he's not angry, what he does is for your good."
Li Meilan did not forget to add fuel to the fire.
"Now it's for my good, too?" Xia Ranran's eyes were like ice and snow in the moon, and she looked at Xia Dongcheng and asked: "I just want to ask, what are you doing for me, the bride price will not be given to you a penny, and my mother's relics, when are you going to hand them over to me, will the Xia family not only sell their daughter, but also rely on the woman's dowry and relics to operate, right?" ”
These words made Xia Dongcheng's face turn from black to white, his hands trembled, and he didn't say a word for a long time.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and I saw that Xia Dongcheng and Li Meilan immediately put on smiling faces, and Xia Yuyan jumped up from the sofa and ran to Gu Yan's side in three or two steps.
