After divorce, she married a wealthy man, and her ex-husband's family regretted it
Chapter 197 The Li Family Does Not Want to Give a Dowry
Although I brought a lot of things, they were not valuable.
Wen Wan couldn't help but hear her elder sister-in-law's sarcasm, but she could only cheer herself up to deal with her, "Don't blame me, elder sister. My father just came back from a project abroad and didn't have time to prepare gifts. I'll make it up to you when I get back."
"Oh, my father-in-law went abroad to do business? That must be very hard work! Please come in." When Wang Chunhua heard this, she immediately raised her voice, especially emphasizing the words "went abroad to do business".
The neighbors looked at him with envy.
The Li family is so damn lucky.
Although the previous daughter-in-law Jiang Ling came from an ordinary family, she was good-looking and had a good personality, and was hardworking at home. This daughter-in-law may look ordinary, but she is rich. This time, Li Dongyang can be said to have fallen into a blessed nest.
Wang Chunhua obviously thought so too. Although the gift brought by Wen's father was ordinary, he said that he was on a business trip abroad and did not have time to give it to her, and he would definitely make up for it later.
She looked at the luxury car parked nearby and thought that since the Wen family was so rich, she must find a way to get some money.
The family has been busy filling the hole for Li Dongyang lately, and there isn’t much money left.
Father Wen brought Wen Wan into the yard and looked at the several bungalows. To be honest, he felt devastated.
The family looked quite ordinary. If his daughter could marry into a better family, she wouldn't have married here.
Wen Wan knew that her father was unhappy, but she had no choice.
She is already pregnant, and after getting married she will have to live with the Li family day and night. It would be bad to have a bad relationship now. She can ask the Li family for more dowry later and help her father pay off his debts.
"Dad, let's go in. Dongyang and his father are waiting for you in the house."
As soon as he entered the living room, Father Wen saw the food on the table at a glance. There were four dishes in total.
There were six people and four dishes in total, but no one could get a single dish.
His eyes suddenly went dark and he had the urge to escape immediately.
Somehow, he had a bad feeling that he might not be able to make back the money he spent on renting the car today.
The six people sat at the table. Li Hongshan respectfully poured wine for Father Wen, and his tone was quite sincere, "Father-in-law, it's rare for us to get together, so let's settle the matter of the two children, right?"
"Yes, yes, your daughter's belly is big. If she doesn't get married, there will be rumors outside." Li Meiyue was still angry and was not polite when she spoke.
Wen Wan glanced at her and forced a smile, "Sister, don't joke with me."
"I'm not joking. People say that my brother hasn't divorced yet and you're pregnant. I..." Before she could finish her words, Li Dongyang covered her mouth.
"Father-in-law, my sister is just joking, don't take it seriously. I really want to live with Wen Wan. I'll toast you a glass!" Li Dongyang filled the glass with wine and drank it in one gulp, then looked at Wen's father with burning eyes.
He really wants to marry Wen Wan.
The two have been together for so long, and he probably has realized that as long as he doesn't get married, Wen's father will not give him any resources.
Well, since Wen Wan is pregnant with his child anyway, let’s get married. After marriage, when he joins the Wen family’s company, his success will surely be just around the corner.
When he becomes the president of the Wen Group, will Jiang Ling cry and say she regrets?
Father Wen was also staring at Li Dongyang.
He really didn't want to drink this glass of wine. His family had no idea how to control their mouths. The house looked extremely ordinary. It was very different from what he had imagined. He should have known better than to rent a car.
Wen Wan gently supported her father's arm and said, "Dad, Dongyang is toasting you."
Father Wen drank the wine and said in a deep voice, "My Wen family only has this one precious daughter. I hope you will treat her well in the future. By the way, how are your preparations for the wedding going?"
Wang Chunhua was stunned by the question, "Didn't you prepare for this?"
Wen Wan's eyes widened, "Mom, the man must be the one preparing for the wedding."
"Generally speaking, it's the man who makes the preparations." Wang Chunhua smiled matter-of-factly, "But you are not an ordinary family. Your Wen family is a big and powerful family in our city. We are a small family, and I'm afraid we can't prepare well. It's better for you to make the preparations."
Her mind was clattering with calculations.
The Li family doesn't have much money left. They can't afford more, and it won't look good if they give less. It would be better to leave all the wedding matters to the Wen family. After all, they have money and will definitely make it a beautiful wedding.
Not only does your family save money, but you can also earn a good reputation.
Father Wen put the wine glass on the table and glared at Li Hongshan, "Does my father-in-law think so? If you don't have the sincerity to get married, then don't get married."
Want the woman to hold the wedding?
Did you really come up with that?
He just thought that the Li family was poor, but he didn't expect that the Li family didn't even care about their reputation.
"Father-in-law, don't be angry. His mother is just talking nonsense. The wedding should be hosted by us, the men." When Li Hongshan saw that Wen's father was angry, he hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
Father Wen's expression looked better. "We need to be careful about the wedding. We have many friends in the Wen family. I don't want to lose face. And there's also the issue of the betrothal gift..."
He finally asked the most important question.
He is now in a huge debt and is in urgent need of money to pay it off, so he is counting on the bride price.
He didn't plan to ask for more. After all, with the Li family's wealth, they definitely couldn't come up with several million. He only needed one million, and he thought the Li family could probably come up with that if they pooled the money together.
This is his psychological bottom line!
"You still want a dowry?" Wang Chunhua looked unhappy. "Ordinary families ask for a dowry. You are so rich, what do you want for a dowry?"
"That's right. It's not like we're selling our daughter, so why do we need a dowry?" Li Meiyue echoed.
With the Wen family's wealth, they shouldn't ask for a dowry. The dowry they give to the Li family is more appropriate.
Wen Wan was furious when she heard this. She glared at Li Dongyang and said, "Husband, that's not what you told me before. You said you would prepare a betrothal gift for me."
Li Dongyang didn't say anything.
He had indeed said before that he would prepare a dowry for Wen Wan, but at that time he still had a job and money in his pocket, so it was natural for him to make the promise easily.
But now, he has been fired from the company and has no money left. What can he use as a betrothal gift?
But I can’t tell this to the Wen family, because if I do, the marriage will be ruined.
This matter must be kept secret, and the hurdle of the bride price must be passed. After all, he is still counting on this wedding to turn his life around.
He hesitated for a moment, and coaxed Wen Wan in a gentle voice, "Wife, I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you, but you also know that our family's business hasn't been very good recently. Can I give you less betrothal gift first? I'll make it up to you later."
"Is this what you all mean?" Father Wen looked around and saw that no one in the Li family said anything, so he just assumed that they agreed.
Father Wen could no longer suppress his anger. He stood up and questioned Li Dongyang angrily.
"Less? How much less do you want?"
