Chapter 1304 Episode 46-The Wedding of Xu Junhao and Jian Mengying
It would be nice to have a cousin who is extremely wealthy. Xu Junhao booked the banquet hall of Zeus Hotel for the wedding at almost the price of cabbage.
With connections from the Ou family and the Lu family, the wedding was even more lively than expected. The ten reserved tables were all full, and another ten tables were temporarily added.
In comparison, because Jian Mengying is not from the capital, her relatives and friends don’t come much. In order to support Jian Mengying, Liu Tao, Xu Zhien and other female classmates who had been close friends in the school all sat on the table of relatives and friends as Jian Mengying’s family members.
Including He Xiran.
In fact, everyone originally thought that with He Xiran's arrogance, he would find excuses not to attend the wedding.
After all, He Xiran and Jian Mengying had a few bad times when they were in school, and the groom is an ex, so everyone can understand if she doesn't come.
Unexpectedly, He Xiran came.
Concerned about He Xiran's mood, no one at the table dared to talk about the wedding, but talked about work and their respective relationships.
Liu Tao has a boyfriend, whom he met at work. The man is a middle-level manager of a cooperative company, 6 years older than Liu Tao, and a native of Beijing.
Liu Tao: "He will be 30 next year, and the family is in a hurry. He has been urging us to get the certificate first, give birth to the child, and do it after the wedding."
Xu Zhien: "Then what do you think?"
Liu Tao: "I'm not stupid, of course it's impossible to agree. Let's not talk about the house. It's fine if I don't have my share of other people's pre-marital property, but there is no wedding like a bride price, so I have to have a child. Why? "
Lian Ju: "That's right, your job has just stabilized. If you get pregnant at this time, you might lose your job, and you won't be able to work after the baby is born."
Liu Tao: "That's right, my elder brother directly told their family that it's okay to get married, just follow the procedure."
Xu Zhien: "Then did he agree?"
Liu Tao: "No, his parents said that our family is selling their daughter, and a little girl from out of town dares to ask for a sky-high price of 500,000 yuan as a bride price. I'm so embarrassed. I am a dignified undergraduate from Beijing University. Is 500,000 yuan a lot of money? Let's talk , It’s not that I don’t have a dowry, a 100,000 car and the down payment of a house in my hometown, it’s not a lot.”
Wang Simeng: "Is there any mistake, 500,000 is a sky-high price gift? Does their family have any misunderstanding about the sky-high price?"
Liu Tao: "My annual salary plus year-end bonus is at least 150,000 yuan. Even if I don't get promoted or raise my salary, 500,000 yuan is only 3 years' salary. Compared with the time wasted by having a child, I still can't afford it." I think 500,000 is too little."
Xu Zhien: "Then what do you think now?"
Liu Tao: "I figured it out. Their family just wanted to find a childbirth tool and a free babysitter. Of course I ran as fast as I could."
Wang Simeng: "You broke up with your boyfriend?"
Liu Tao: "It's split, he disagrees, he sends WeChat and calls every day, saying that he really loves me and can't do it without me, etc. He also said that the family is in trouble, and he can't get the 500,000 dowry gift, can he get it first? 200,000."
Xu Zhien: "Tao, don't be soft-hearted. A native of Beijing, who has worked for so many years and has achieved the position of middle-level management, how could he not be able to give 500,000 yuan? He just doesn't want to give it."
Liu Tao: "Of course I know what he's thinking. I told him directly. If I can't pay him, I won't make things difficult for him. I will add my name to his real estate certificate. I don't want any of the dowry, but he won't." I am willing."
