Chapter 822 - The Wedding (4) (1/2)

The elderly couple stood facing each other with a look of bitterness and great resentment on their faces.

The bank simply wouldn’t allow their sudden request for withdrawal of 8.88 million dollars in cash.

The gift had come too late to be on time for this.

Now, they were unable to get 9.99 million for the dowry overnight.

Moreover, returning the 8.88 million check as part of the dowry would not look good.

Even if everyone knew that the 9.99 million dowry included a monetary gift of 8.88 million dollars by the Shen family, a family that was more particular would find that embarrassing.

What could they do now then?

Xia Nuannuan understood the plight her parents were facing and her heart ached for them.

She said, “Dad, Mom, actually you really don’t have to fret. The marriage is something between Zihao and I, and has little to do with dowry and monetary gifts.”

Dad Xia frowned and said, “Nonsense! The dowry that accompanies you into the Shen family signifies that our daughter does not lack anything and is not dependent on his family. This is so that you can stand tall and proud!”

At this point he grunted and sighed again. “I think I shall take a walk and think of a solution.”

Sensing his frustration, Xia Nuannuan bit her lip.

Her father had never been to Beijing, what sort of solution could he find here?

She said, “Dad, let me think of a solution.”

It was already 9 p.m. when Qiao Lian received a call from Xia Nuannuan.

The skies had darkened. She was startled when she looked at her cell phone screen.
