Chapter 505 – “One of the top three skincare products in the country, based out of Puxi that’s Jiahe, no?” (2)
“Mommy, I will show you the company’s books in a little bit. We are in the reds right now. Even the few subsidiaries that are making money, the capitals are tight. We are still in debt and owe a lot to the banks.”
Gu Wushuang bit her lips.
“I have about 200,000 yuan in my bank account. I will transfer those over to you in a little bit. That’s really all I have right now. I had been planning my wedding with Brother Cheng and spent a lot of wedding gown and banquet a while ago. If you want, I will have Brother Cheng cancel the wedding gown for now.”
Having said that, Gu Wushuang was about to start crying.
“Brother Cheng was dragged down by Dad and was kicked out both from his company and his family. His saving was only enough for us to buy a place. I had to foot all the bills for the wedding.”
How pitiful was that?
The bride had to pay for the wedding.
Toward the end, Gu Wushuang even touched herself. She couldn’t even stop her tears from rolling down her cheeks and her nose turned red quickly.
“Mommy, Aunty Huo doesn’t like me. And, with Dad’s incident, how am I going to marry into the Huo’s now? I was going to give you a call today to talk about how much dowry would we need to come up with in order for Aunty Huo to now look down on us… Zhou Mi is getting married soon as well. The Zhou family will be coming up with 8.88 million yuan of dowry and two spas.”
Having said that, Gu Wushuang sobbed in her office while holding a tissue over her face.
Mother Gu’s chest heaved up and down. She almost couldn’t breathe!
Her eyes widened. This was not happening!
She only asked for a million yuan. Not only did her daughter rejected her, she now turned around and asked for 8.88 million yuan plus two shops?!
“Mommy, let’s… let’s get you home to get some rest first. We will have Brother Cheng over tonight to talk about details of the wedding.”
An affectionate and shy look appeared on Gu Wushuang as she talked.
It had been rumored in their circles that Mother Huo adamantly objected to Huo Wencheng marrying Gu Wushuang for a while now.
Mother Gu, however, knew that they had already gotten their marriage certificate and what was done was done. The Huo family didn’t have much of a say in it.
Now, all they lacked with a massive wedding to announce it to the rest of the world.
Mother Gu panicked all of a sudden!
Even if she was to sell off all of her stocks that she had obtained from the Zhang family, that would just be enough for dowry!
She didn’t come to City Shun to give every last penny that she had for her golden years to pad her daughter’s wedding!
She stood up abruptly. Her leather purse slinged across her body, she felt dizzy all of a sudden and her body rocked from side to side.
“What’s the matter, Mommy? Are you feeling dizzy again? Quickly, have a seat!”
Have a seat? Would she be asking for 20 million yuan for dowry this time?
Mother Gu felt even more dizzy now. There was ringing in her ears. She could hear her brother’s words to her in the past now. That she needed to watch out for that adopted daughter of hers.
She didn’t believe it before and doted on Wushuang as she always had but now… … the thought of it all made her panic. Her heart throbbed and she could feel blood rushing to her head.
She didn’t really need money for advertising. She didn’t need a million yuan. It was all meant to be a test.
Little did she know… … she got a sky-high price wedding in return.
What kind of mother-in-law shell out money for their son-in-law for the wedding?
Did she need to come up with money for the first-month banquet, first-year banquet, and even education in the future?
Perhaps her brother was right after all. This adopted daughter of hers was up to no good… …
The idea of it made Mother Gu’s knees weak. So weak that she couldn’t even walk.
“Oh, Mommy, I need to take this call. Wait for me here,” said Gu Wushuang.
All Mother Gu could feel was a chill down her spine.
