After Ren Rongzheng finished speaking, Li Kui didn't dare to respond and could only look at Zhan Beiqin.

"Go."

Li Kui nodded as soon as he was told what to do, and then started the car.

The steel plant was quite famous in the area, and Li Kui naturally knew about it, so he drove there.

The car was stopped by the gatekeeper as soon as it arrived at the steel plant gate. If Ren Rongzheng hadn't shown his face, even though it was a military vehicle, it wouldn't have been able to get in today.

"Honey, you have trouble walking, so just wait for me in the car. I'm going to my office to find my dad."

"Hmm," Zhan Beiqin replied coldly.

After Ren Rongzheng got out of the car, Li Kui, who was sitting in the driver's seat, looked at the steel plant and couldn't help but sigh: "As expected of a famous factory in our country, it has a great presence. Chief, your wife is the eldest daughter of Director Ren, she has a really good background."

Sitting in the car, Li Kui looked around the steel plant, feeling like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden, and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

After making his remark, he saw his superior's gloomy face and was so frightened that he immediately stopped talking.

"Secretary Liu, is my father in his office?"

Ren Rongzheng went to find Secretary Liu first. When she saw it was her, Secretary Liu hesitated for a moment because she had come before and had a very unpleasant experience with Ren Naiyao. Ren Naiyao had instructed her to say that she was not here the next time she came.

"Miss, you've come at a really bad time. Director Ren has gone to a meeting in the city."

Seeing Secretary Liu's expression, Ren Rongzheng knew he was lying.

"My dad went to a meeting in the city? It's okay, I'm free right now, I'll wait for him here."

Seeing that she was about to sit down, Secretary Liu hurriedly said, "Miss, Director Ren is going to the city for a very important meeting today, which will last all day. You'll be wasting your time waiting here."

After hearing this, Ren Rongzheng gave a wry smile and said, "Oh, I see. Well then, I'll be going now."

"Alright, I'll take Miss there."

Secretary Liu was afraid she wouldn't leave, so he tried to escort her out directly. However, Ren Rongzheng was too agile and bypassed him, quickly running towards Ren Naiyao's office.

"Young Miss, where are you going? Factory Manager Ren really isn't at the factory today, Young Miss!"

Secretary Liu chased after him with difficulty, but to no avail. Ren Rongzheng still managed to push open the door to Ren Naiyao's office.

Just then, Ren Naiyao was on the phone, calling his beloved youngest daughter.

"Xiaoxue, don't worry, I've already had a dress made for you, I promise it won't delay you from wearing it to the banquet the day after tomorrow."

Just as Ren Naiyao finished speaking to Ren Rongxue on the other end of the phone, he saw Ren Rongzheng rush in, followed by Secretary Liu, who was panting and looking flustered.

"Dad, you're amazing! You can even be in two places at once! Secretary Liu just said you went to a meeting in the city, but you were calling your youngest daughter from your office. What dress? What banquet are you going to attend? How come I didn't know?"

Ren Naiyao hadn't expected that Ren Rongzheng would overhear him. Naturally, he was embarrassed and quickly said to Ren Rongxue on the other end of the phone, "Xiaoxue, I have work to do here, I'll hang up now."

Hearing the phone hang up, Ren Rongxue was stunned for a moment. She thought she had just heard Ren Rongzheng's voice on the other end of the line.

"Mom, it seems Ren Rongzheng went to the factory to see Dad. Could it be that he went to ask Dad for his dowry?"

Ren Rongxue immediately put down the landline and told Liu Lanying.

"Ren Rongzheng went to the steel factory to look for your father?"

"Ah."

"That bitch is definitely still eyeing that three thousand yuan. Come on, let's go quickly. We can't let your dad give her that money, or what will be left in our family? Let's go, let's go."

Three thousand yuan was a huge sum of money in those days. If it were given to her, there would be very little left for her and her daughter.

After Ren Naiyao put down the phone, he felt awkward facing Ren Rongzheng. He first gestured for Secretary Liu to leave, and then asked, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you last time that we could talk about it at home? This is my workplace."

“You have a wife and children at home. I’ve only said three words to you and your wife is about to kill herself. I’m afraid your second wife will die too. I had no choice but to come here to find you.”

Ren Rongzheng originally only wanted to come and collect money, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

He wanted to make a dress for Ren Rongxue so she could attend a banquet? What banquet? She had no idea.

She originally thought that having a stepmother meant having a stepfather, and that the main responsibility lay with Liu Lanying, but now she realized that wasn't the case.

Ren Naiyao never loved his mother. The disparity in their social status made him feel inferior in front of her, and he even resented her because his maternal grandfather had some dissatisfaction with him.

So he didn't love her from the moment she was born, and after he married Liu Lanying and had Ren Rongxue, it only got worse.

"Is this how you talk to your father? What do you mean 'my wife'? That's your mother! You have no manners at all!"

“My mother died a long time ago. If it weren’t for me, her daughter, the grass on her grave would probably grow three feet tall and no one would care.”

"..."

Ren Rongzheng is now capable of infuriating Ren Naiyao with just a few words.

"Enough with the chit-chat, I'm here today to share my joy with my dad."

Ren Rongzheng opened the marriage certificate to show him.

"I married Zhan Beiqin. I told you before that I would come to collect my dowry of three thousand yuan on the day I got the marriage certificate. Has Dad prepared it for me?"

"I've already asked Wang Po. Nowadays, when it comes to weddings, the groom's family mainly gives a dowry, and the bride's family's dowry is just a token gesture. But our family is, after all, a well-off family, so..."

A dowry of five hundred yuan is already an astonishingly high price, Rong Zheng. Everything in moderation. Three thousand yuan is too much; I can't afford it.

He said he didn't want to give it, which Ren Rongzheng didn't find disgusting at all, but he said he couldn't afford it?

"I've made it very clear that the three thousand yuan I want is not just a dowry, but also a settlement fee for leaving the Ren family. It's compensation I'm asking for when I leave."

I'm only alive because I'm lucky. You got your current status by relying on my mother's family. You've never given love or money to the only bloodline she left behind. Isn't that going too far?

"Give me three thousand, and we'll sever all ties. I'll never bother you again, and I'll never disturb your harmonious family of three again. Isn't that a good deal for you?"

"Ren Rongzheng, you are my daughter, you have my blood in your veins, do you think you can sever the blood relationship between father and daughter so easily?"

After Ren Naiyao finished speaking, he took out five hundred yuan and slapped it on the table for her.

"Five hundred yuan is already a lot from Dad. Dad also wishes you and Zhan Beiqin happiness."

"In that case, we'll have to see you in court."

"Ren Rongzheng!" Ren Naiyao slammed his fist on the table in anger, standing up angrily. "Don't take advantage of the fact that you are my daughter. You were jilted by Jiang Linhai once because you couldn't have children, which has already made our Ren family lose face."

"Your marriage to Zhan Beiqin is truly a blessing from your ancestors. As your father, this dowry of five hundred yuan is already more than enough. If you keep pushing your luck like this, you won't even have five hundred yuan left!"

After Ren Naiyao finished speaking, he angrily threw the five hundred yuan at Ren Rongzheng's face.
