Rebirth of a Spoiled Darling: Bloodstained Lord Huo's Billion-Dollar Dowry Proposal

Upon hearing this, Mengwood was so angry that he glared and puffed out his beard.

He Minghua almost cursed out loud.

Is this brat out of her mind?!

"Young Madam, these are merely material possessions, there's no need to take them to heart. Old Master Huo specifically instructed me to convey a message to you—"

"Mr. Liu, please speak."

"The old man said that you are the future matriarch of the Huo family, and the entire Huo family will belong to you in the future."

As for the betrothal gifts, they are merely a small token of the Huo family's appreciation. Consider them a welcoming gift for the young mistress, and we urge her to accept them.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yuxuan was so jealous that she went crazy, her face contorted with rage.

That's the Huo family, a family at the very top of the pyramid, a place many people dream of.

If she had known the Huo family was so generous, she would have been willing to marry into their family even if Huo Qilin were sick or dead!

It's such a pity that the opportunity was right in front of us.

Thinking of this, she glared resentfully at He Minghua.

They have absolutely no foresight!

This is just letting Meng Shu get away with it for nothing!

This is absolutely infuriating!

At this moment, Meng Yuxuan once again felt resentment towards her biological mother.

He Minghua, who was standing to the side, was completely preoccupied with the bride price and had no idea what Meng Yuxuan was thinking.

If Liu Yu hadn't been there, she would have already snatched the betrothal gifts; there wouldn't have been a chance for that brat Meng Shu to go crazy.

Even Mengwood couldn't calm down at this moment.

He quickly followed Liu Yu's words and said, "Xiao Shu, the betrothal gifts are a sign of the Huo family's high regard for you, so we can't refuse them."

He Minghua quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, Xiao Shu, we must collect it, we absolutely must collect it."

Meng Shu's expression was extremely calm, revealing no emotion.

A family like the Huo family would never take back what they've given.

She did that just now simply to expose the true colors of this family in front of Liu Yu.

Now that her goal had been achieved, she accepted it with a smile.

The Monwoods finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A look of triumphant elation reappeared on his face.

Unexpectedly, at that moment, Meng Shuqing's clear and melodious voice rang out again.

“Mr. Liu, as the saying goes, courtesy should be reciprocated. Since I have accepted the betrothal gifts, I should also prepare a dowry.”

Upon hearing the word "dowry," Meng Wude's expression changed immediately.

He looked at Meng Shu cautiously, his eyes full of threat.

Meng Shuquan pretended not to see it.

“Mr. Liu, you must know that I have been living in an orphanage and was only recently brought back by my second uncle.”

Liu Yu nodded slightly.

Meng Shu sighed, her delicate brows furrowing slightly. "Although my second uncle is my family, it wouldn't be right to trouble him with my dowry..."

Before he could finish speaking, Liu Yu's sharp gaze swept towards Meng Wood.

Meng Wude wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with an embarrassed smile, "Xiao Shu, don't say that. Your second aunt and I have always treated you like our own daughter. It should be our responsibility to take care of your dowry."

Meng Shu smiled, looking at Meng Wude with a grateful expression, "Thank you, Second Uncle, you're so kind."

Meng Wood's face twitched, and he gave a dry laugh, "Little Shu, what are you saying? This is what I should do."

Meng Shu smiled sweetly, her tone slightly teasing, "But, judging from Second Aunt's expression, she doesn't seem too happy?"

He Minghua was glared at fiercely by Meng Wude before reluctantly echoing his words.

Meng Shu smiled and said, "Since you've all agreed, then..."

Unexpectedly, Meng Wood suddenly interrupted her.

Then, with a troubled expression, she said, "Xiao Shu, as you know, the Meng Group is currently facing a crisis, and I'm afraid they can't come up with any decent dowry."

He Minghua chimed in, "Husband, how could a big family like the Huo family possibly be interested in our paltry sums? So let's not give any dowry, to avoid becoming a laughingstock."

"Is that right, Mr. Liu?"

After she finished speaking, she stared straight at Liu Yu.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yu did not respond.

The scene was extremely awkward.

At this moment, Meng Shu spoke up sensibly, "I understand, Second Uncle and Second Aunt, so don't worry, you don't need to contribute to my dowry."

Upon hearing this, the Menwoods breathed a sigh of relief, and smiles returned to their faces.

The next second, Meng Shu's voice rang out again.

"However, Second Uncle, we mustn't be impolite. Since the Huo family has bestowed such a perfect gift, we should reciprocate with our wholehearted devotion, shall we?"

"Little Book, what do you mean?" Meng Wood couldn't refuse in front of Liu Yu, so he tentatively asked.

"I remember that Qingfeng Academy, under the Meng Group, is in my name. How about using that as part of my dowry? That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Upon hearing this, Mengwood's face immediately darkened.

Academy?

He sold that money-losing thing two years ago.

As for the money from the sale, it had long been squandered by the family.

How could it be given to Meng Shu as a dowry?

Meng Wood stared at Meng Shu with a gloomy expression, without saying a word.

Meng Yuxuan and her daughter turned their faces away, pretending not to hear.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

After a short while, Liu Yu broke the deadlock and said with a smile, "Since it is the young mistress's wish, the Huo family will naturally not refuse."

Meng Shu smiled at Liu Yu to express her gratitude.

Liu Yu glanced at Meng Wude without changing his expression. "Mr. Meng, what's your opinion?"

"Of course, of course," Meng Wood said with a forced smile.

Liu Yu represented the Huo family's stance, so how could Meng Wude dare to say no?

He Minghua was so angry that her face turned pale and she trembled all over, but she was helpless.

All he could do was glare fiercely at Meng Shu. If his eyes were knives, Meng Shu would have been riddled with holes long ago.

Meng Shu showed no fear and smiled even more brightly.

"Then I'll trouble you, Second Uncle, to complete the formalities as soon as possible and send it to the Huo family."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "In that case, I will thank President Meng on behalf of the Huo family."

Menwood nodded heavily, his face contorted with grief.

"Young Madam, the Old Master wishes to see you. Now that everything has been settled, why don't you come with me to the Huo family's old residence?"

Are we about to meet Huo Qilin and his family?

To say I wasn't nervous would be a lie.

Meng Shu took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions, and said in a calm tone, "Okay, Mr. Liu."

Seeing that they were about to leave.

The three members of the Meng family panicked immediately.

They didn't receive a single penny of the exorbitant bride price.

They also had to spend a lot of money to buy back the academy.

This deal is a big loss!

He Minghua glared angrily at Meng Wude, her fish-eye-like eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

Meng Wude quickly spoke up to stop him, "Xiao Shu, you've just returned to the Meng family. Your second uncle wants to take care of you for a few more days on behalf of your eldest brother. Why don't you stay at the Meng family for a few more days?"

"Thank you, Uncle, but no need."

Meng Shu turned her head slightly, her smile was generous and proper, but it lacked any warmth.

He then looked at Meng Yuxuan, his eyes filled with a chilling light.

"As soon as I got back, my cousin accused me of being a thief."

Not only that, she also threw hot coffee at me. She probably doesn't welcome me either, so I won't cause my second uncle any more trouble.

After saying that, Meng Shu left without looking back.
