“Youlin!” Duan Yarong was caught by surprise upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s remark. Therefore, she shouted at her without giving a second thought.
However, Zhao Youlin smiled at her to comfort her. She signaled to Duan Yarong not to interfere and let her handle it on her own.
Duan Yarong was worried. However, upon watching Zhao Youlin’s response, she kept quiet and did not say anything.
When Zhao Youlin saw this, she heaved a sigh of relief. The next mont, she shifted her gaze to Zhao Shunrong.
Zhao Shunrong stared at Zhao Youlin coolly and lightly nodded. His two small gestures had given Zhao Youlin trendous trust and encouragent.
Zhao Youlin smiled. She moved her gaze away from them and paid attention to handling the person in front of her.
Zhao Shuncheng had thought that Zhao Youlin would not show respect for him and that his plan to get her engagent gifts was about to fail.
Just when he was in the middle of anger, he heard Zhao Youlin’s words. He was stunned for so ti before he snapped out of his daze.
After seeing that Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong did not object to her after she finished the words, Zhao Shuncheng beca hopeful once again. He gulped with so difficulty before he asked warily, “Is it true?”
“Of course it’s true.” Zhao Youlin looked at Zhao Shuncheng coldly, as if looking at an ugly, trembling dog that could not hide its greed. “But…”
“But what?” The look of happiness on Zhao Shuncheng’s face faded and turned grave. This was his first ti to find transitive words so annoying.
Zhao Youlin’s eyes flashed. She took the initiative and walked forward to Zhao Shuncheng. She stood still and said, “However, Uncle, if you want the engagent gifts from the Mu family, it should be a two-way street. Don’t you think you should pay for my engagent gifts as well?”
“Engagent gifts?” Zhao Shuncheng was stunned. His eyes were wide open as he stared incredulously at Zhao Youlin. His eyes were filled with panic and avoidance.
How could he forget that besides receiving engagent gifts from the bridegroom, the bride also had to co out with a significant amount of engagent gifts as well?!
When Zhao Youlin saw Zhao Shuncheng’s contorted expression, she imdiately ca to understand that this man had not thought of this before.
Thinking of this, the hint of mockery in Zhao Youlin’s eyes intensified. How could there be such a free lunch on Earth?
“That’s right. Uncle, you have to co out with my engagent gifts. You just said that you are sorry for
and want to make up for
and treat
well. If so, how could you forget such an important matter? How could I marry without engagent gifts? After I tie the knot, how would they treat ? Haven’t you thought about all this, huh?”
Upon facing Zhao Youlin’s aggressive remark, Zhao Shuncheng gulped. It took him so ti before he said dryly, “Your engagent gifts… Of course… I’ll prepare for you.”
“Oh, really?” Zhao Youlin raised one of her eyebrows nonchalantly before she said with a smile, “Uncle, my parents have prepared ten percent of Zhao Enterprise’s shares as my engagent gifts. Since you want to nd ties with , I suppose you wouldn’t prepare less than that, right? Are you able to co up with that amount?”
“Ten percent of Zhao Enterprise’s shares?!” Zhao Shuncheng cried out in shock. He looked shocked as he stared at Zhao Shunrong and Duan Yarong. He had never thought that the couple was willing to fork out so much for Zhao Youlin.
He only had five percent of Zhao Enterprise’s shares on hand. However, Zhao Youlin’s engagent gifts were double that!
Little did Zhao Shunrong know that five out of ten percent of the shares were given to Zhao Youlin by her mother. She had taken the five percent shares with her when she was married to the Mu family. After she was divorced from Mu Tingfeng, she returned the shares to the Zhao family.
The remaining five percent was added on from Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong.
This ti, the Mu family had given a handso sum of engagent gifts to the Zhao family. Zhao Shunrong and Duan Yarong thought that Zhao Youlin’s engagent gifts should not be too little as well. Otherwise, this would leave a poor impression on the Mu family once she was married to Mu Tingfeng. She might even have to suffer in their hands again by then. Therefore, they strove to add various gifts to the foundation and five percent of Zhao Enterprise’s shares were one of them.
Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong had the sa thought on this matter. Now they have a son and a daughter. Their son was capable of marrying his wife on his own and there was no need for their help. Therefore, the couple was left with Zhao Youlin. If they did not plan well for her, they might not have the chance to do so again in the future.
Zhao Shuncheng was shocked upon receiving the piece of news from Zhao Youlin. Seeing this, Zhao Youlin knew that she had achieved her purpose. She added fuel to fire by saying, “That’s right. Ten percent of Zhao Enterprise’s shares. Besides, there are many other expensive gifts as well. However, I don’t want to ntion them since those are too complicated for you. Let’s just focus on ten percent of the shares. Uncle, I don’t intend to put you in a difficult position. However, my parents have been with
only a year and yet they are willing to fork out so many engagent gifts for . Like what you ntioned earlier, we were father-daughter for many years in the past, since my parents are able to co out with ten percent of shares, I suppose you should at least co out with five percent of the shares, right? If you are able to fork out five percent of shares, I could give you the Mu family’s engagent gifts. However, if you couldn’t co out with that amount, I’m afraid I can’t do anything as well.”
Zhao Shuncheng was rendered speechless, and he nearly wanted to faint upon hearing Zhao Youlin’s remark which she had put so simply. Five percent of Zhao Enterprise’s shares had sounded like peanuts to her, as if Zhao Shuncheng could easily co up with them.
In truth, Zhao Shuncheng really could not co out with such an amount!
When the family had divided its properties, Zhao Shuncheng had received five percent of the shares. However, he was only working as a small-ti departnt head in the company even after so many years. His monthly wages were insufficient to accommodate the expenses that he spent in the high-end places where he enjoyed his promiscuous life. This was also the main reason why Zhao Shuncheng had colluded with the company’s accountant to steal the company’s money in the beginning.
After many years of inco-deprivation, he had almost finished spending his five percent of shares. Later, his situation only worsened when he was kicked out of Zhao Enterprise.
Zhao Shuncheng was used to living a comfortable life. He did not know how to live a frugal life. As such, he lost his pillar of strength when he was driven out of Zhao Enterprise. Moreover, he still had to raise a pregnant mistress. There was not much money left for him to spend.
At first, Zhao Shuncheng could still gain so money from Zhao Youming.
However, without knowing why, recently, there were many tis when he asked for money from Zhao Youming, he was told that Zhao Youming was not around not only when he sought him out at ho, but at the company as well.
After several attempts, Zhao Shuncheng beca very angry. This ti, he had co to ask for money from Zhao Youming at the company once again, only to end up in vain.. Just when he was about to depart, he accidentally heard the staff gossip about Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s wedding!
