Pampering wife without restraint

Chapter 82: Billion-dollar Dowry

He Hengchuan's heart tightened, but he quickly adjusted his mood.

"Dad, we agree with your arrangement. We came here today to discuss the gift."

He knew that it was almost impossible to get He Yufei to give up her marriage with Xu Xiye and marry Mr. Jiang instead.

After discussing it, their family decided to start with the bride price, hoping that with a generous bride price, He Yufei would pay off the He family's debts.

"Oh, about the betrothal gift?" Mr. Si raised his eyebrows slightly and asked casually, "Do you have any ideas in mind?"

A trace of joy that was hard to conceal flashed across He Hengchuan's face.

He responded hastily: "Dad, the Xu family you mentioned is a well-known and prestigious family in Beijing. As for the betrothal gift, I think one billion should be no problem for them."

Mr. Si stared at He Hengchuan with his deep eyes, making him feel nervous.

"A billion for the betrothal gift." Mr. Si spoke slowly, his voice sounding a little deep.

"For ordinary people, this is indeed an astronomical figure, but for a noble family like the Xu family, it is indeed nothing."

When He Hengchuan heard this, he was overjoyed. He secretly thought that perhaps the number of one billion was a little too little.

Cheng Ying, Ji Huirou and He Xin standing by were also full of anticipation, as if the 1 billion yuan in betrothal gifts had already fallen firmly into their pockets.

He Xin was even more secretly delighted. She thought to herself that as long as she had these ten billion, she would no longer have to have anything to do with Mr. Jiang. It didn't matter even if the outside world called her an illegitimate daughter.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Si's next words made them feel like they were poured with a bucket of cold water.

"I can discuss the betrothal gift with the Xu family slowly."

He said calmly, "However, before that, there is one more thing that you need to take care of."

He Hengchuan asked hurriedly: "Dad, what are you talking about?"

Mr. Si waved his hand, signaling the butler to present an exquisite box.

The box was opened, and Mr. Si calmly took out a few yellowed documents.

"Take a look!" He calmly handed over the IOUs.

"These are the sums my daughter borrowed from me after marrying you for the company's turnover needs. They are written in black and white. They are all debts you owed after marriage. Now that my daughter is no longer alive, these debts should naturally be borne by you."

These IOUs were once evidence that my daughter was so strong-willed that she insisted on signing them.

Although Mr. Si had kept them, he never had the slightest thought of asking his daughter to repay them.

However, at this moment, these IOUs became a powerful weapon in his hands against the He family.

He then slowly said, "The amount on these IOUs has accumulated to as much as 500 million. It is clearly written on them that the interest on the loans will be calculated according to the bank's interest rate. You have been in Yancheng for these years, and I have never come to find you. Now that you have come to Beijing, please pay off these debts together."

He Hengchuan took the IOUs and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

When we started the company, my wife was the backbone.

He was just a figurehead and knew almost nothing about the whereabouts of the funds and the operation of the company.

Although he knew it clearly in his heart, he could only bite the bullet and pretend to be ignorant at this moment.

"Dad, the money on these IOUs, I...I've never heard of it."

Mr. Si seemed to have expected him to say this, and he just waved his hand gently.

"It's okay. We transferred all the money directly into the company's account. If you don't believe me, you can ask the company's finance department to check the accounts and the truth will come out."

He Hengchuan and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, while Ji Huirou was almost fuming with anger.

She took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and said coldly:

"Those are all old stories. Now our company is bankrupt and the money is gone."

Mr. Si raised his lips in a sneer, his tone was icy.

"In that case, we have no choice but to resort to legal means. However, I must remind you that the evidence I have is irrefutable. Once we go to court, all of your He family's property will be confiscated. By then, when you return to Yancheng, I'm afraid you won't even have a roof over your head."

When these words were spoken, everyone at the scene was stunned.

Cheng Ying tried to smooth things over: "Mr. Si, we are in-laws after all, why do we have to make things so awkward? Don't we still have the 1 billion betrothal gift?"

He Hengchuan also quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, that money is more than enough for Fei'er's betrothal gift."

Mr. Si frowned, unable to hide his anger.

"You bastards, are you planning to sell your daughter?"

Just at this moment, Si Junyan walked into the room, his eyes filled with a hint of cynical frivolity.

"Grandpa, this is the He family? They not only bullied my aunt, but also my cousin. Why should you be polite to them? Just kill them directly. As for this young man..."

He paused for a moment, his eyes lingered on He Xin, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became more playful.

"Well, she can be sent to a brothel in Beijing."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became solemn.

You know, the reputation of this brothel is well-known in the capital.

It is a place of joy for men but a place of nightmare for women.

He Xin's body trembled violently, and her face turned pale as paper in an instant. She tried to defend herself with a trembling voice.

"This...none of this has anything to do with me."

He Hengchuan's face was also gloomy to the extreme.

He glared at Si Junyan, his voice trembling a little: "You Si family, don't go too far!"

Mr. Si's eyes were as fast as lightning as he swept towards He Hengchuan.

"Too much bullying? Do you feel any remorse for what you did back then?"

He Hengchuan was choked by this question and was speechless, and ultimately could not say anything to refute.

Seeing this, Si Junyan raised his lips into a mocking smile.

He said no more, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Send a few people over here to deal with the people here for me."

When the people of the He family heard this, they immediately scattered and fled like frightened birds, fearing that they would fall into the clutches of the Si family if they were a step late.

Si Junyan glanced coldly at the empty doorway and sneered.

Mr. Si stood aside and sighed softly, with a hint of vicissitudes and helplessness in his voice.

"Just pretend this never happened and don't mention it to your cousin."

Si Junyan curled his lips, a look of confusion and contempt on his face.

"I see. Tell me, was my aunt really blind back then? She actually fell for something like this."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Si's face darkened and he suddenly raised the cane in his hand, ready to hit this ignorant grandson hard.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you little bastard!"

Si Junyan nimbly dodged the crutch that was about to fall.

He raised his eyebrows and said nonchalantly, "These days, people are not allowed to tell the truth."
