Chapter 821
Chapter 821: The Wedding (3)
Xia Yehua was so happy when the couple came personally to deliver the invitation that she just could not stop smiling.
Grinning from ear to ear, she held onto Xia Nuannuan and Shen Zihao and asked them about the event’s details.
Then she shot Shen Liangchuan a look, signaling him to chat with his brother, while she took Nuannuan’s hand and led the girl upstairs.
She looked at Xia Nuannuan and sighed lightly. “Nuannuan, after the wedding, you’ll be moving in with the Shen family. And then you’ll discover a new life has begun. I won’t say much more than that.”
She reached into her pocket and took out a card. Thrusting the card into Xia Nuannuan’s hands, she said, “There are 2 million in here, it’s a little token from me to you and Zihao.”
Xia Nuannuan was immediately taken aback and said, “Mom, no, please don’t do this!”
Xia Yehua held her hands tightly and said, “Nuannuan, 2 million are nothing to Zihao, but I know you can understand it’s not an easy amount for me. This money is my savings, but it’s also my heartfelt gift as a mother to my son. What an elderly gifts you must not turn down. Stop objecting now.”
When she heard this, Xia Nuannuan could only hold the bank card.
Xia Yehua continued, “In a wealthy family, a relationship is just that bit more complicated than that in an ordinary family. For tomorrow’s wedding, the truth is that your family doesn’t really have to give a large dowry.”
At this point, giving the Xia family money for dowry would mean that she looked down on the family. Hence, Xia Yehua wouldn’t do that.
Instead, she patiently gave her advice, “Because even if your father and mother sold everything they had, the money they would raise would never impress a wealthy family. So since that’s the case, why don’t you just do your best and ignore what others say? As long as you and Zihao live happily together, that’s enough. Zihao won’t mind how much dowry your family gifts, isn’t that right?”
The girl’s eyes reddened when she heard these words, her heart was greatly warmed.
All this time, the dowry had been the matter that had worried her the most.
Dad had already given his word to gift 9.99 million.
After the Shen family gave them their 8.88 million, where were they going to find another 1.11 million to make up for the promised amount?
Even their own home was worth only about 500 000 to 600 000.
Besides, her dad and mom were only a middle-class family, they didn’t have large savings.
She would have to have a good talk with Dad when she got back to the hotel.
Xia Nuannuan held the bank card in her hand.
Since this was Mom’s gift to Zihao, then she would just safekeep it for him.
If at any point in the future should Shen Zihao need the money, she would pass this to him.
–
After all, Shen Zihao and Xia Yehua had just been through a lot. Hence, things were a little awkward between them at that moment.
Particularly so when Shen Liangchuan kept looking at him in a way that made him feel like he was most unintelligent. It made him squirm with unease.
When Xia Nuannuan finally came back downstairs, he stood up with great relief.
As he turned to go, Shen Liangchuan reached for his arm, saying, “After the wedding, you’ll be all grown up, you’ll have to learn to be more mindful of your own actions.”
Shen Zihao: …
Was Shen Liangchuan saying that before this he had not been mindful?
He gave a silent snort and decided to ignore the man.
On the way to taking Xia Nuannuan back to the hotel, Shen Zihao told her, “Go to bed early tonight. You have to wake up early in the morning to do your make-up and it will be tiring.”
Xia Nuannuan nodded.
After he dropped her off, he drove away and she went into the hotel room. The moment she entered the room, she saw her parents standing there with pained expressions on their faces. They were fretting.
“It turns out that if we want to withdraw more than 50 thousand, we have to make an appointment the day before! We are unable to withdraw the 8.88 million. How are we supposed to give them 9.99 million for dowry?!”
