After I was murdered, my scumbag uncle went completely crazy
Chapter 137: You can rob openly, but you still have to find a reason
When I heard this, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.
How could he have the nerve to say such a thing?
What else is there to choose from?
Just follow the strength of the Gu family!
What strength does the Gu family have that they need him to remind them?
She said that she was not picky and was not selling her daughter, but her words and deeds reminded her that if Gu Hanting gave too little as a betrothal gift, the Gu family would lose face.
The abacus beads are about to fall on my face.
It's exactly what others said...
Being a bitch, you still want to be a saint!
shameless!
I quietly pulled Gu Hanting's hand in the blind spot of Mr. Chi's vision, hinting him not to respond.
Unexpectedly, he looked at me and smiled, "I will discuss the matter of the betrothal gift with Xixi."
"But since Mr. Chi asked, I'd also like to know what the Chi family is planning to give Xixi as a dowry?"
My eyes lit up and my ears perked up.
Yes, since he has the nerve to ask for the bride price, he must have thought about the dowry.
Father Chi's expression froze. He probably didn't expect Gu Hanting to actually ask about the dowry.
In fact, he had never thought about the dowry at all.
After all, the Gu family’s strength is there, and they probably won’t look down on anything the Chi family offers as a dowry.
Moreover, he felt that given the Gu family's status, they did not need a dowry at all.
But now that Gu Hanting asked, he felt embarrassed not to answer.
After hesitating for a long time, he forced a smile and said, "Xixi is our precious daughter. We will not treat her badly, and we don't want her to be looked down upon by the Gu family."
"But I think that Mr. Gu values Xixi so much that he shouldn't care about the amount of the betrothal gift."
"Of course, our Chi family will definitely try our best to give Xixi dignity according to our conditions."
"However, Mr. Gu also knows that our Chi family cannot compare with the Gu family, so..."
He really has considered every aspect clearly.
I don't know how long I thought about this matter before I could say it so comprehensively.
I rolled my eyes and exposed her directly, "You might as well just say that the Chi family doesn't plan to give a dowry, but the Gu family must give a betrothal gift!"
They can obviously rob you openly, but they still have to find a high-sounding reason for you.
It was really hard for him.
Mr. Chi's face looked a little unhappy for a moment, and he glared at me through the rearview mirror.
"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Didn't I tell you that I will definitely treat you with respect..."
"It's a decent thing to say, but I just hope that when the time comes, you won't make excuses like the company is not doing well, you don't have enough ability, and you can only do this and that!"
I directly pointed out the excuses that Mr. Chi might come up with, blocking his way out.
Gu Hanting was still cooperating with me, "Xixi, I believe that Mr. Chi would not do such a shameless thing."
Father Chi's expression suddenly became even uglier.
For a while, the weather was cloudy and changed several times!
He didn't speak again until he returned to the Gu Mansion.
But after arriving at Gu Mansion, he wanted to stay under the pretext of having a cup of tea, but Gu Hanting drove him away on the grounds that it was late and it was inconvenient to entertain him.
Before leaving, Father Chi even flattered himself by suggesting that he wanted to cooperate with Gu Hanting.
Gu Hanting did not refuse directly, but asked him to send the cooperation information over first for him to take a look.
When Mr. Chi saw that he did not refuse, he thought he had a chance and left happily.
When he was leaving, he looked at me and said, "Tomorrow is the day to go home and worship our ancestors. Don't forget it."
"You and Mr. Gu have settled down now. It would be best if you bring Mr. Gu back with you to show the ancestors."
"I won't come to pick you up tomorrow. You can just drive back home by yourself."
After saying that, he turned and left.
He didn't even tell me his hometown address.
I stood there in confusion for a moment.
I wondered if asking for the address of Mr. Chi’s hometown would arouse their suspicion.
After all, judging from his attitude, Chi Xi should have participated in ancestor worship before.
But I don’t have Chi Xi’s memories, nor have I seen any records of ancestor worship in the diary, so I really don’t know where I should take Gu Hanting tomorrow.
Or, just make an excuse not to go?
While I was still hesitating about how to deal with this matter, Gu Hanting had already put his arm around my waist and walked towards the Gu Mansion.
"If you don't want to go, we won't go."
When he said that, I felt relieved.
At least when the time comes I can say no and he won't think too much about it.
I blinked, "It's not that I don't want to go... I just think that if he talks about the betrothal gift and cooperation with you today, he might bring up the old matter again during the ancestor worship ceremony tomorrow."
"I'm using this as an excuse to ask you to give me a definite answer in front of our ancestors. I don't want to make things difficult for you."
Gu Hanting seemed very happy, "Why are you protecting me so much?"
"Of course!"
Compared to the group of vampires in the Chi family, I naturally stand on Gu Hanting's side.
He smiled and reached out to touch my head, "Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss."
"Besides, the Chi family's hometown is in Yanshan Village on the outskirts of Yuncheng. I heard there is a very quiet valley there."
"There is a stream in the valley that cascades down, forming a natural waterfall landscape."
"After we pay homage to our ancestors, we can also go for a walk in the valley and enjoy the beautiful scenery."
I was just worrying about how to tell him that I didn't know the address of the Chi family's hometown, but I didn't expect him to tell it first.
I continued his words, "I went to see the waterfall once, it is indeed worth seeing."
"If you want to go, then we can take some time to go there."
"Just treat it as a break!"
It's this face of his. If Chi Yu sees it tomorrow, I'm afraid he will rush to show his affection to him again.
I do feel a little disgusted.
Gu Hanting brought her into the Gu Mansion, where a servant had already placed clean slippers at the door.
When she saw me, she called out respectfully, "Young Madam."
I was stunned for a moment, "Do you know me?"
The servant smiled and said, "Master has already shown your photo to all of us."
I turned to look at Gu Hanting in surprise. I didn't expect him to do this.
I felt indescribably moved and shocked.
But at the same time, there is also an inexplicable sense of loss.
He really cares about Chi Xi.
That's why she showed Chi Xi's photo to all the servants in Gu Mansion before they were officially married, to confirm her identity as the mistress.
This makes me envy Chi Xi a little bit.
Although she was the adopted daughter of the Chi family, it was said that she was abandoned by her biological parents. After the Chi family recognized Chi Yu, she lived in dire straits.
But at least she met a man who truly loved her.
If my soul had not replaced hers, she would have lived a happy life.
I lowered my eyelashes to hide the emotions in my eyes, lowered my head and changed my shoes in silence.
I didn't notice the deep and dark look in Gu Hanting's eyes when he looked at me. It was clear that he was looking at someone else through this body.
After I changed my shoes, he took my hand again and said, "Come on, I'll show you around my house."
"It can be considered as a way to get acquainted with the future Mrs. Gu in advance!"
