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.
