The betrothal gift is 100,000 yuan, what does it mean to give 200,000

Chapter 417 Struggle
Jiang Ning thought about it for a moment and thought that the Liu family must have known about the Jiang family's affairs, because Mingzhu City is so small, and this mess spread everywhere like wildfire.

When she called today, grandma guessed it as soon as she answered the phone.

Borrowing money is definitely not an easy thing, especially borrowing money from an "enemy", the difficulty can be imagined.

However, Jiang Ning knew she had no choice.

The Jiang family's relatives had lost contact with Jiang Ruxue's previous generation. At that time, it was a time of chaos and everything was in ruins. People's hearts were colder than usual, otherwise Jiang Ruxue would not have been treated coldly. When Jiang Ruxue grew up and married a wealthy family, it was good that she would not pursue revenge, let alone maintain a relationship.

There are some other friends, whether it is Jiang Ruxue or Jiang Ning.

But where can these people come up with such a staggering amount of money?

Even if there is, who would lend their life and property to someone just for the word "friend"?

Others also have parents, brothers, and children, and need to be responsible for the people around them.

After trying to eliminate all the problems in her mind, Jiang Ning could only look to her grandparents. The old couple had a rich family background, and if they were willing to lend some money for the sake of their granddaughter, it would solve her current urgent problem.

But she was also unsure.

If it was for the two sisters, grandparents would most likely lend a helping hand, but now it was for Jiang Ruxue.

Don’t mention how much the old couple hated their former daughter-in-law.

After thinking about it, Jiang Ning frowned. No wonder she didn't go to bed at night, but stayed in the study to count her assets...

"It's so difficult to borrow money... Actually, you have other ways, Ningning?" Chen Yuan's cautious voice rang in her ears.

"Any other way?"

"That's right, that's right."

"Give me an example?" Jiang Ning already knew what Chen Yuan wanted to say, but still couldn't help asking.

"Don't I have a company under my control? It's a birthday gift from my father. It's an investment company, and it's profitable... I can give you the money for circulation, so you don't have to borrow money."

In the quiet study.

Chen Yuan sat cross-legged on the ground, looking at Jiang Ning with a faint light in his eyes.

You can tell how sincere he is from the tone of his voice.

If you truly love someone, what does money mean to you? Not to mention money, everything in the world cannot compare to the love between two people who have been through thick and thin together.

The premise is that the person is worthy.

In Chen Yuan's eyes, Jiang Ning was certainly worth it, even far more than everything he had.

"I guessed you were going to say this," Jiang Ning stood up, took two steps forward, turned around and said hesitantly, "No, I absolutely cannot use your money."

"Why???" Chen Yuan was a little confused at the moment.

"First of all, this is my family's business. You have no responsibility at all. To be honest, I'm already very grateful that you can stay with me until now, Chenzi... And if your family knew about this, what would they think of me? Are you asking for money without any status?"

"This is my money. What does it have to do with my family?"

"The company was given to you by your father. Of course he wants you to cherish what he gave you, and not to give it up easily for your girlfriend. Such behavior is irrational."

"Tsk," Chen Yuan was a little hurt after hearing this, and said unsatisfiedly: "It is true that he held the company on my behalf, but I have been busy for so long that I even neglected my studies. Now the company's prospects are much better than before. I should get some hard work pay, right? Besides, I am now helping my father with internal reforms. So many people regard me as a thorn in their eyes. Not a single day is easy. What's wrong with me spending some money just for this..."

"Oh, whatever you say is fine, I really can't accept it. I understand your good intentions, Chenzi..."

Not only Chen Yuan, but even Jiang Ning was a little anxious.

She came over and held Chen Yuan's shoulders, asked him to sit down on the chair, and leaned over to persuade him in a gentle voice.

"Since it's a loan, it's a business. If I borrow from you, it's easy to get too emotionally involved, and then there's no way to let it go. It's a very troublesome matter anyway." She didn't know what to say.

She was afraid of hurting Chen Yuan's feelings, but she didn't want to accept such a gift.

Her dignity wouldn't allow her to accept things from her boyfriend for nothing.

"Why don't we arrange the marriage now?" Chen Yuan blinked, "This way, even if it's for our future daughter-in-law, we'll all be a family."

"Even worse," Jiang Ning crossed her arms and looked at Chen Yuan speechlessly, "We can discuss our relationship issues after the current difficulties are over."

"…Then I'll just lend it to you, okay? Let's sign a contract and you'll pay me back in the future."

Chen Yuan had no choice but to say this.

He also knew that with Jiang Ning's personality, she would definitely not agree unless he made it clear.

Once these words were spoken, they indeed had an effect.

Jiang Ning hesitated for a moment.

"Do you know how much I need to borrow?"

"I have everything you want to borrow." "Then how many years do I have to work for you?" Jiang Ning was a little distressed. She pulled a chair and sat down, holding her chin. "Forget it. I'll talk about it after I go to my grandparents' house tomorrow."

Chen Yuan wanted to persuade her again, but Jiang Ning didn't give him the chance. She pulled him up, pushed him by the shoulders and went to the bedroom.

People are not made of iron and need to rest after a busy day. Jiang Ning originally wanted Chen Yuan to take a shower and lie down on the bed to rest quickly, but she didn't expect him to follow her to the study room on the third floor.

Outside, the night was chilly and the river wind was howling.

There is soft lighting in the bedroom, which makes it feel particularly warm when the windows to the terrace are closed.

After tidying up, Jiang Ning picked up a few bottles and jars from the dressing table next to her and was about to take a shower. When she turned around, she found Chen Yuan sitting on the bed looking at her.

"I'm going to take a shower."

"Go ahead," Chen Yuan lifted his buttocks up, "I'll wait for you to come back."

"You can go to sleep first. It takes me a long time to take a shower and do my skin care."

"How long?"

When Chen Yuan heard this, he felt a little discouraged. He didn't have anything special he wanted to do. It was just that after such a long time, he finally got to be in the same room with his beloved girlfriend, but in the end, he could only watch her helplessly.

There is nothing more painful than this.

It’s like having a delicious, soft, and mouth-watering cake right in front of you, but you can’t eat it.

"It will take at least an hour."

"Then why don't you come here after you take a shower and do your skin care?" Chen Yuan pointed to the dressing table next to him. The mirror was covered with a layer of cloth. "I'll watch you do your skin care."

"Aren't you going to sleep?" Jiang Ning asked doubtfully.

"We finally have time to spend together, just let me stick with you for a while..."

Couples like Chen Yuan and Jiang Ning are rare.

We were in a slow-paced relationship before, and then we went through a cold war. I don’t know how long it has been since we got along well and talked to each other in private.

To put it bluntly, there is no difference between them and long-distance couples.

"Okay, I'll go take a shower first. Mainly because you've been busy all day and I'm afraid you'll be sleepy..." Jiang Ning said and walked into the bathroom.

After a while.

She stuck out half of her face and stared at Chen Yuan.

"No peeking."

"Am I that kind of person?"

"Gentleman's agreement," Jiang Ning pointed at him, "If I find out you're peeking, we won't sleep together again no matter what."

"Okay, okay, go quickly."

In order to reassure her, Chen Yuan had no choice but to pick up his phone and pretend to browse it.

Wait until the sound of water gradually rises in the bathroom.

There was no other movement in the entire room.

Chen Yuancai put down his phone, which he had been swiping on, and looked up at the ceiling.

……

Is this lucky or unlucky? Chen Yuan thought silently as he looked up at the soft light.

He originally thought that there would be no improvement in Jiang Ning's situation, but something like this happened. It can be said that God was helping him.

But at that critical moment, he softened his heart.

If... if he had not been so hesitant before Jiang Ruxue was taken away by the police, perhaps he would be lobbying his parents to arrange the marriage now instead of sitting here in boredom.

Chen Yuan really wanted to respect Jiang Ning's decision, but he was trapped in the current situation. Logically speaking, he didn't say anything at the time, and he shouldn't regret it now.

But people will always be entangled and struggle, and beautify the path they have not taken.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan hated himself. He didn't like being indecisive and didn't want to dwell on one thing a thousand or ten thousand times.

He then remembered what his psychologist had told him.

This world can be unreasonable and can do anything to achieve its goals. Instead of letting someone love you, it is better to let someone hate you for a longer time.

Love means compromise, tolerance and forbearance.

What will we get for doing all this? A tragic and sad ending?
No, Chen Yuan asked himself, he didn't want that kind of ending.
