There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, and then a deep and clear male voice was heard.

"How much?"

Chen Yu looked at Lian Xi. A hint of impatience appeared on the woman's cold face, and there was a warning in her eyes.

She thought for two seconds, then spoke without hesitation, her voice rising a notch.

"Five hundred thousand! All at once!"

Lian Xi thought it was outrageous and that the request was too high.

The normal marriage gift is no more than 88,000 yuan, and no more than 200,000 yuan. How dare she ask for 500,000 yuan?

"Okay, let Lian Xi answer the phone first."

Hearing the man say yes, Chen Yu couldn't help but feel overjoyed. She wanted to say a few more words, but looking at Lian Xi's face, it seemed as if she was going to pounce on her in the next second, so she had to reluctantly hand the phone to her.

After taking the phone, she deliberately took two steps away and came to the balcony.

The fingers that held the phone turned slightly gray, her hair was messy from the wind, and her slightly curly hair draped lazily over her shoulders.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, my sister-in-law has always been arrogant and unreasonable. Don't take it seriously and don't take her words to heart."

Her voice was soft and her tone was gentle.

Chen Yu had been following her. When he heard what she said, he became furious and glared at her viciously.

"You're already turning your back on me right after you got married! Are you marrying a gigolo? Can't you even afford this little bit of betrothal money?"

She had a loud voice, so naturally these words also floated into the ears of the man on the other end of the phone.

Lian Xi heard Lu Sili laugh softly.

When he spoke again, his tone was noticeably softer than before, and his magnetic voice made people feel inexplicably safe.

"It's okay. I don't care. Can you handle it yourself? If not, send me the card number."

After a two-second pause, he added with a smile, "Your sister-in-law is right. It's only right to give a little betrothal money to such a beautiful wife."

He didn't know her family situation, but he didn't want to embarrass her at home.

Besides, something that can be solved with 500,000 yuan is not worth mentioning to him.

His words warmed her heart, but she felt even more ashamed and angry at her sister-in-law's shameless behavior.

Lian Xi was so anxious that she was about to cry, afraid that he would really transfer the money.

They had just gotten their marriage certificate tonight, how could she have the nerve to ask him for money?

"No! I can handle it myself."

After saying that, she hung up the phone with a "click", not giving the man any chance to refuse.

She turned around, and a hint of coldness appeared in her pretty fox eyes.

Chen Yu saw her face suddenly turn cold. He felt a little nervous for no reason and swallowed nervously.

Lian Xi curled his lips frivolously and raised his eyebrows.

She was a head taller than Chen Yu, and was looking down at her condescendingly.

"What is the custom of giving the bride price to your sister-in-law? Did you also give the bride price to your sister-in-law when you married my brother?"

Chen Yu was choked by her words and was about to open his mouth to refute when she interrupted him coldly.

"You married my brother, and I paid half of the money for the house here, and the other half came from my family. I don't mind you bringing your family with you, but you're still pushing me? I've been tolerating you all these years, not because I'm afraid of you, but because I want our family to be more harmonious. Chen Yu, you'd better be sensible! If you don't, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"

Lian Xi said so many words in one breath, and Chen Yu was already stunned where he was.

Because she was a little excited, her breathing quickened a lot, her fair face turned rosy, and she looked more energetic than before.

Over the years, she has never complained at home. Chen Yu has even forgotten that her sister-in-law has never been a soft persimmon that can be bullied by others.

Lian Xi gave her too much favor.

After being stunned for two seconds, Chen Yu suddenly pinched her thigh hard, covered her face and burst into tears.

She turned around and hugged the child while crying, "What a sin! Xiaoze, your aunt wants to kick us out..."

Lian Xi sneered and watched her pretending to take the child into the bedroom, and then heard the sound of the door lock falling.

The mother timidly stood up from the sofa and said helplessly, "Xixi, your sister-in-law is just like that. Don't bother with her. Mom apologizes to you on her behalf."

She shook her head nonchalantly, with the corners of her lips slightly curved.

"Mom, I'm fine. After I leave, if anything happens at home, remember to call me."

After chatting with my mother for a while and promising to bring my husband back to meet them next time, my mother finally felt relieved.

Lian Xi stood at the door of Chen Yu's bedroom and raised his hand to knock on the door.

There was no response, so she frowned and increased her strength impatiently.

After a while, the door was opened a crack, and Xiaoze ran out of the room and threw himself into his grandmother's arms.

Lian Xi opened the door and went in.

Chen Yu was sitting in front of the makeup mirror with her back to her, and didn't react at all when she heard the noise.

She didn't care and continued speaking, her voice as cold as ever.

"Forget about my betrothal gift. I don't want this house either. I originally intended to leave it for my parents to live in. You can stay here temporarily, but you must take good care of my parents. If anything happens to them, you and my brother will move out immediately. I don't mind spending a little more money to hire a nanny."

After saying that, she was too lazy to look at him any longer. She made a "tsk" sound and went back to her room.

Her bedroom was converted from a study. It was very small, but she kept it very clean.

Lian Xi packed his things bit by bit, feeling more or less reluctant.

But when she was done packing, she found that when she finally moved out of this place where she had lived for several years, all she needed to take away could fit into just one suitcase.

She looked at her white suitcase, which contained only a few sets of clothes, some cosmetics and skin care products, and a few pairs of shoes. Apart from that, there were no other personal belongings.

You will need less luggage than staying in a hotel on a long trip.

She pulled her lower lip in self-mockery, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and she couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Lian Xi finally refused her mother's kindness in sending her downstairs, and left the home where she had lived for several years carrying her suitcase.

When Xiao Li saw her coming out of the corridor, he immediately went up to her and took the suitcase from her hand.

He was a little surprised. She went upstairs for such a long time, but in the end she only brought down a suitcase?

After getting in the car, Lian Xi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Xiao Li was flattered. How could he dare to accept an apology from the president's wife?

He quickly glanced at the rearview mirror and said sincerely, "Madam, you are so polite!"

Lian Xi was a little uncomfortable with this title for a moment, and his smile became a little awkward.

After about half an hour, the car drove into the underground garage.

After Lian Xi opened the door according to the code given by Lu Sili, he stood in the living room and looked around the house.

This is a flat in the city center with a good geographical location and close to the company.

It’s just that the decoration is a bit too monotonous, with uniform black, white and grey tones, which looks a bit cold.

However, it is very similar to the temperament of the owner of the house...
