Chapter 596 The Ceiling of Dowry
"Hello, welcome!"
When Jiang Duoduo and her three companions arrived at the door of VIP room 001 with Luo Kai, two smiling waiters gestured for them to come in.
Luo Kai gently pushed the door open and invited Jiang Duoduo, Chen Shuyue, and the two aunts to go in first.
When Wen Jiayi and Luo Shengtian saw that someone had entered the private room, they quickly stood up from the sofa.
After Luo Kai's introduction, both families shook hands warmly.
"Please, everyone, have a seat. Let's eat and chat together!"
The waiters at the entrance of Luosheng Tianchao waved to them, signaling for them to bring the food.
His first impression of Jiang Duoduo's family was quite good.
Although they don't look like they come from a wealthy or powerful family, they give off a hardworking, down-to-earth, kind, and warm vibe.
Moreover, Jiang Duoduo is not only outstanding in appearance, but also very capable. She opened several hotels on her own without relying on Luo Kai at all.
For a child from an ordinary family to achieve such success at such a young age, Luo Shengtian truly admired his own abilities.
Although Luo Shengtian was also a little curious about how Jiang Duoduo had succeeded all this way.
However, the person my son has chosen must be of good character.
Although Chen Shuyue owns several breakfast shops, she has seen many big scenes during this period.
But after meeting Luo Kai's parents this time, she realized that there really are many differences between people.
The two people sitting opposite me exuded an innate composure and elegance, both in their attire and demeanor.
Therefore, Chen Shuyue seemed somewhat reserved when speaking to Luo Kai's parents, and after sitting down, she barely spoke except for drinking a few sips of tea.
Chen Shuyue didn't speak, so Chen Shufang and Chen Shumin, who had come with her, dared not speak either.
They knew the Luo family was wealthy, but they didn't know they were this wealthy.
The most upscale hotel in J city is owned by them; the food they ate probably cost tens of thousands.
I can't even save enough for one meal for someone else after working hard all year.
Jiang Duoduo was probably the most relaxed person there. As soon as she sat down, the waiters started serving dishes to the table one by one.
The menu includes grouper, soft-boiled abalone, pan-fried A4 Wagyu beef, baked Australian lobster with cheese pasta, matsutake mushroom and conch stewed with Sichuan peppercorns, cordyceps and sea cucumber soup, braised king crab, black truffle fried rice, and more.
Jiang Duoduo had worked at Leica International for a few months and knew the value of this meal.
Although with her current wealth, it wouldn't be excessive for her to frequently have such a feast, Jiang Duoduo, who is usually frugal, rarely eats so extravagantly.
After all, making money is not easy, and doing the "free meal" task requires a skin thicker than a city wall!
Now, faced with the delicious food so close at hand, Jiang Duoduo was only focused on showing off her meal, completely forgetting that the purpose of the meeting between the two families today was to discuss the engagement date between her and Luo Kai.
"Shuyue, and Duoduo's two aunts, please don't be shy! Otherwise the food will get cold and won't taste good!"
After all the dishes were served, Wen Jiayi warmly invited Chen Shuyue and the others to start eating.
She's always been a very outgoing person, and she's already changed the name of her future in-laws to Shuyue.
She felt that calling someone "in-law" was too formal and distant, while calling someone "Shuyue" was just right, like calling someone her best friend.
Therefore, she also asked Chen Shuyue to call her Jiayi.
"Today is a special day for Luo Kai and Duo Duo, how about we all have some red wine together?"
Luo Shengtian followed closely behind, and then asked the waiter to come over and pour drinks for everyone.
"Okay, then I can have a little!"
Chen Shuyue actually has a low alcohol tolerance and doesn't usually drink alcohol when she goes out to eat with others.
But this time it's different. Luo Kai's father said it was a good day for the two children, and everyone should have a drink to celebrate. As the bride's mother, she certainly couldn't spoil the fun.
"We're happy for Duoduo and Luokai too, so let's have a drink!"
Chen Shufang and Chen Shumin both smiled and said.
Chen Shufang has a good alcohol tolerance and often drinks with her husband and son at home. Today, in such a big hotel with such good food, and in a good mood, a little red wine is just right.
Chen Shumin's alcohol tolerance is similar to Chen Shuyue's, around one or two glasses.
She doesn't drink any alcohol normally.
Even during holidays and festivals, Chen Shumin would only reluctantly drink a small cup if her relatives insisted on urging her to drink.
But this time she drank it happily, pleased with her beautiful, kind, and capable niece.
"Cheers, everyone! Duoduo and I thank our family for their support!"
Luo Kai pulled Jiang Duoduo along, and the two stood up together to pay respects to their parents.
"cheers!"
Everyone else stood up as well, and after sincerely finishing their glasses of red wine, they began to eat their own food.
Jiang Duoduo usually drinks a glass of red wine from the beginning to the end of a banquet, and has never finished a glass of red wine in one go.
She felt her face getting hot, and her whole body felt warm and comfortable.
It was a bit astringent in taste, so she quickly picked up some food for herself after sitting down.
……
Time can sometimes fly by at the dinner table.
Before we knew it, an hour had passed.
When everyone felt they had eaten enough, they started discussing the engagement date of the two children.
Chen Shuyue hopes the engagement can be held before the Lantern Festival (January 15th of the lunar calendar) because her younger sister, Chen Shumin, needs to return to Guizhou Province before the children start school.
There were no other requirements regarding betrothal gifts or gold items.
Luo Shengtian and Wen Jiayi naturally respected the woman's opinion and said they would find a specialist to look at the dates and select several auspicious days for her to choose from.
They plan to give 999 million yuan as a bride price, symbolizing a long and lasting marriage.
In a couple of days, Jiang Duoduo and Luo Kai, the young people, can choose the gold jewelry and diamond rings themselves; they can buy whatever they like.
"This...this dowry is too...too much! It really...really doesn't need to be this much!"
When Chen Shuyue heard about the exorbitant bride price from Luo Kai's father, she was so shocked that she stammered.
Chen Shufang and Chen Shumin even opened their mouths into an "O" shape.
They had never seen such a large dowry before. They had never even heard of it, let alone seen it. In their rural area, a dowry of 100,000 yuan was already the ceiling!
If word got out that this 999 million yuan dowry was to spread, it would cause an earthquake to strike the very core of their entire village!
"Not much at all! I'll also be giving several sets of jewelry from the Wen family. Duoduo is such an outstanding child, we all like her very much, what's a little dowry!"
Wen Jiayi smiled and reassured Chen Shuyue, saying that everything was normal procedure.
Do you want a few more sets of jewelry?
The three Chen sisters were so shocked they couldn't speak. Are all rich people this arrogant and domineering?
Especially Chen Shufang, after her son Chen Xiaohu's wedding date was set, she didn't hold an engagement banquet. In their rural area, many people skip the engagement and go straight to getting married.
They spent 88,000 yuan on the bride price.
At the time, Chen Shufang felt that the bride price she gave was already considered high!
I never imagined that compared to these rich people, my little bit of money wouldn't even be enough for them to buy a single outfit.
