In the afternoon.
After the betrothal gifts were settled, Xie Ran immediately went out to give Fang Shuiling a call. He wanted to tell her the good news as soon as possible.
Over there.
Xiaoling's father's quarters.
Fang Shuiling obviously didn't know and was arguing with her family in the house.
Fang Wenping was also a guest at Third Brother's house today. She was in the living room with Fang Shuiling's parents.
"Dad, Mom, what are you doing? What are you doing?" Fang Shuiling was so angry that her eyes turned red. She didn't eat lunch when she met with Xie Ran's parents at noon. She didn't eat when she returned home. Even when the nanny prepared the meal, Fang Shuiling didn't take a bite. She kept arguing with her parents. "Grandpa has already agreed, and my family has also agreed to my relationship with Brother Ran. Why are you still making things difficult for us? Can't you see me make a decision for once? Can't you see me be happy? If you really don't want me to get married! Then I will never marry! "
The third son of the Fang family looked at his daughter and said, "Your temper is getting worse. How can you talk to us like that?"
Xiaoling's mother said lightly, "We didn't say that you can't get married. Didn't we agree to it? But the betrothal gifts can't be reduced either. This is the rule!"
Fang Shuiling said, "How can there be such a rule!"
Xiaoling's mother said, "What are you shouting for?"
Fang Shuiling's tears fell. "Can I not shout? Is there anyone like you? How am I supposed to meet Brother Ran's family in the future with so many betrothal gifts? How am I supposed to get along with them? Moreover, it was a villa and it was worth ten million yuan! Even Brother Ran's family couldn't afford it! All the gifts added up to nearly 100 million yuan! Who has that much money? " Fang Shuiling understood Xie Ran's family's situation. Not to mention 100 million, their family wouldn't even be able to take out 10 million. Their family didn't have anyone in the business world.
Xiaoling's mother snorted. "If you can't, then don't even think about marrying my daughter."
Seeing his daughter cry, Xiaoling's father's heart softened. He said to his daughter, "Your mom is doing this for your own good. We aren't the ones asking for the money, and we won't take a single cent of the betrothal gifts. It's all for you to live your life after marriage. It's also a form of protection for you. Besides, our families have always had a bad relationship. You know this as well. Now that their family wants you to marry over, they definitely have to give our family enough face. Marrying his daughter to their family just like that? Not much betrothal gift? Others will think that the Xie Family has something on us. They will think that we are afraid of them. This is not a simple matter. It is not as easy as you think. "
At this moment, Fang Wenping suddenly said, "It's not as complicated as you think."
Fang Shuiling finally found her backbone. She immediately rushed to her aunt's side and hugged her arm, shouting, "Auntie, they're being unreasonable!"
Fang Wenping patted her head and said, "It's okay. Auntie is here. Don't cry."
Xiaoling's father glanced at Fang Wenping and was about to say something when Xiaoling's phone rang.
Looking at the number, Fang Shuiling quickly wiped away her tears. With a face full of grievance and nervousness, she hurried to the corner to answer the phone. The call was from Xie Ran, but at this time, Fang Shuiling was very nervous. She was afraid that Brother Ran's family would be angry because of this matter. If they didn't agree to her marriage with Xie Ran, then … Fang Shuiling couldn't be blamed for thinking that way. After all, the betrothal gift that Brother Ran proposed was too much.
A hundred million!
How many political families could come up with that much money?
Families like theirs were more well-behaved. They were never as rich as others thought they were!
The call connected.
"Hello, Lingling," Xie Ran said.
Fang Shuiling sobbed and said, "Brother Ran, I'm sorry."
"Aiyo, why are you crying? Why are you crying?" Xie Ran hurriedly said, "It's okay, don't cry."
Fang Shuiling's tears dripped down. "What did Uncle and Auntie say? Our matter is still … "
Xie Ran smiled and said, "Quickly wipe your tears. I called to tell you about this. The betrothal gift problem has been resolved. There are no more problems."
"Ah?" Fang Shuiling was stunned. "It's resolved?"
Xie Ran grunted. "It's all prepared."
Fang Shuiling said in disbelief, "How can it be so fast? And with so much money, your family also … Brother Ran! Don't scare me like that! How did you get the money? " Fang Shuiling's face turned pale. Their family was poor, but they had great power. Not to mention Xie Ran's parents and elders, even if Xie Ran casually opened his mouth to some company's boss, it wouldn't be a problem for him to get tens of millions.
Xie Ran was amused when he heard that. "What are you thinking about? Don't worry, the money came from a legitimate source. It was given by my brother-in-law. The villa was bought by my brother-in-law two years ago. It's near the Four Seasons Bridge. It's located in the Fourth Ring Road, and it's 340 square meters. It even has a swimming pool. I've been there once, and it's really beautiful. The money was also given by my brother-in-law. He gave me a bank card worth 12 million yuan.
Fang Shuiling was stunned. "Brother Dong paid for it?"
Xie Ran sighed. "We owe my Brother-in-law too much."
Fang Shuiling asked anxiously. "Can we accept this money? It's a hundred million … "
"Don't worry about this first. Let's hold our wedding first, and we will repay him in the future." Xie Ran had made up his mind.
Fang Shuiling is still worried. "But why is Brother Dong so rich?"
Xie Ran replied. "I'm not sure about this. I only know my Brother-in-law had won the lottery in the past. I think it's the first prize of the football lottery or the first prize of the Double Color Ball. He had won a hundred bets, and he is now worth more than 100 million." Xie Ran paused for a while and continued. "My Brother-in-law is a legend in his life, and I can't finish talking about him even if I talk about him for three days and three nights. Everything he did is unbelievable and shocking. I will tell you more in the future. I don't admire many people in my life. My grandfather, my uncle, my father, my sister, and the last one is my Brother-in-law."
After hanging up.
Fang Shuiling stopped crying and smiled. She turned around and walked back.
Xiao Ling's mother was stunned. "Huh? Who called? "She was still crying earlier, and why is she so happy now?
Fang Shuiling ignored her mother until Fang Wenping asked about it. Fang Shuiling smiled at her Aunt. "It's Brother Ran. He said the betrothal gifts are ready."
Xiao Ling's father was surprised. "Ready?"
Fang Shuiling replied happily. "Yes. The villa is within the Fourth Ring Road, and it has a swimming pool. The location is very good."
Xiao Ling's mother doesn't believe her. "Since when did they become so rich?"
"It's from Brother Ran's Brother-in-law." Fang Shuiling replied.
"That Dong Xuebing?" Xiao Ling's mother asked. "How can he be so rich? Where did he get so much money? Don't tell me he got it from illegal means! "
Fang Shuiling replied angrily. "How can you say that? It's too much for you all to ask for so many betrothal gifts. Now, he had taken out the betrothal gifts, and you all still say he got his money from illegal means? What do you want?"
Xiao Ling's mother replied. "I'm just worried."
Xiao Ling's father looks at Fang Wenping. "Sister, you had worked in the same department as Dong Xuebing, right? Where did he get his money from? "
Fang Wenping replied calmly. "I don't know how he got his money, but when he first entered the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, his net worth is over 100 million RMB."
Xiao Ling's parents: "…"
His net worth is over 100 million RMB?
He had worked in the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection for so long?
That obviously meant that there was no problem with the money, and it came from a legitimate source. Otherwise, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection would have investigated him a long time ago.
Fang Shuiling looks at her parents. "Can I get married now?"
Xiao Ling's mother replied helplessly. "Just get married. Don't blame me for making things difficult for them. I am doing this for my daughter. This is also to test their family to see if they are really serious about you. Now it seems that their family has done a good job in this matter. They settled the betrothal gifts right after. It seems that they still value my daughter very much. Hmph, at least they have good foresight to know that my daughter is outstanding. "
Fang Shuiling dragged her voice. "Mum."
… …
5 pm.
Senior Xie's house.
"Dinner is ready. Let's eat." Han Jing walked out of the kitchen, wiping her hands.
"Aunty, why are you having dinner so early?" Xie Jing helped Han Jing carry the dishes.
Han Jing laughed. "Guo Bang and the rest are not coming back tonight, and it's just the few of us. Let's eat early. Your brother-in-law's flight is at 7 pm."
Ci Lifen said. "Xiao Hao, go upstairs and help your grandfather down for dinner."
After a while, dinner is ready.
Senior Xie asked. "Is everything prepared for Xiao Ran's wedding?"
Xia Yanzhen nodded. "Thanks to Xiao Bing, we had settled the betrothal gifts."
"Then let's start planning the wedding. It must be a grand celebration for our children." Senior Xie is also overjoyed. "Huilan, Xiao Bing's child is almost a hundred days old, and we must hold a grand celebration. Haha … Our family is having so many happy events this year."
Dong Xuebing replied. "Grandfather, I have not heard about holding a hundred days old celebration for Dong Xuebing."
Senior Xie laughed. "We did not hold a one-month celebration, but we must hold a hundred days celebration. Also, we must hold a grand celebration. You are not in Beijing, and don't worry about it. Just let your mother handle it."
Han Jing nodded. "Alright. I will handle it."
Dong Xuebing felt it is inappropriate. If it is Xie Ran's child, it is normal. After all, his surname is Xie. But Dong Xuebing's child is an outsider, and it is too exaggerated to hold a grand celebration. But since Senior Xie had said this, Dong Xuebing can't say anything.
But the rest knew Dong Xuebing's grandfather wanted to use the Xie Family's connections to hold a 100-day celebration for Dong Xuebing's child. This shows how much he values Dong Xuebing. In their family, even after Xie Guoyue's son was born, they had never held such a grand celebration for their child. At that time, it was just a family dinner, and only Dong Xuebing had such a special treatment.
