Chapter 1087 - Take the Bride Price to Buy a House (2/2)

Since Nan Nan did not bring up the topic of the bride price, Qiao Dongliang had no wish to go into a discussion about it.

Qiao Dongliang was used to adopting this att.i.tude in life. He might have noticed that this would be an issue, but as long as the party concerned had no objections, he would not do anything about it. All of them could live a peaceful life and maintain a cordial relations.h.i.+p.

If Qiao Nan had other thoughts and felt that the Zhai family had to provide the bride price to show that they valued her, Qiao Dongliang would not hesitate to demand it from the Zhai family.

Thankfully, Qiao Nan never brought this up.

Since Qiao Dongliang did not provide the dowry, he would not be so brazen and shameless to demand bride price from the Zhai family.

Qiao Zijin knitted her brows. “Dad, how about I go to the Zhu family’s residence with you? Nan Nan is young. She does not know that this is unsuitable. We will explain it clearly to her and ask her views on this. Perhaps Nan Nan has no idea of the importance of the bride price. If this is the case, it will not be good to do without the bride price.”

“Well…” Qiao Dongliang felt that it was too troublesome, but Qiao Zijin’s words made sense. He did not want Qiao Nan to blame him in the future. “Alright, I will bring you with me to the Zhu family’s residence and talk to Nan Nan about this.”

“Wait a minute. Dad, I am just a kid. I do not know all the details. Why don’t we bring Mom along? She will definitely know all the information.”

Qiao Zijin would do everything that she could in order to buy her house. She was worried that she might not be able to get Qiao Nan to change her mind. Therefore, she wanted to ask Ding Jiayi along.

Fortunately, Qiao Dongliang was not a fool either. He rejected her suggestion. “No, I know your mom too well. When it’s about money, your mom will make sure that Nan Nan agrees to it even if it is against her wishes. Nan Nan may not feel the need for the bride price, but your mom will insist on it. Back when I divorced your mom, we have already agreed that I will be responsible for Nan Nan. Your mom has no right to say anything. Even if Nan Nan feels that we should get the bride price, I will never let your mom have a single cent of the bride price.”

Since Qiao Dongliang had said so, Qiao Zijin had no other choice but to give up and went to the Zhu family’s residence with him.

Qiao Nan, who was trying on new clothes and checking herself in the mirror, halted when Qiao Dongliang and Qiao Zijin broached the topic of the bride price.

Through the reflection of the mirror, Qiao Nan could tell that Qiao Zijin, who stood behind her, was staring jealously at her.

There was a ferocious glint in Qiao Zijin’s eyes. If this was not the Zhu family’s residence but the Qiao family’s residence, Qiao Zijin might have pounced on her, pulling the clothes off her so that she could put it on herself.

Qiao Zijin liked to doll herself up. She loved exquisite jewelry and pretty dresses like the dress that Qiao Nan was wearing.

Qiao Nan tried to agitate Qiao Zijin further by standing upright and showing off the beauty of the dress.

Miao Jing ordered people to custom-make the dress for Qiao Nan. One could not get it elsewhere.

This was why the dress was designed according to Qiao Nan’s figure.

Qiao Nan would look good in any clothes. She was slender and had long legs. She had the curves in the right places. Simple and ordinary clothes would look good on her, let alone custom-made clothes. It highlighted Qiao Nan’s figure and contours.

Qiao Nan had long legs. The waistline of the dress was higher than normal. It accentuated her long and slender legs.
