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

"Hey, Mom—"

Chen Yuan calmed himself down and tried to speak in a normal voice so that Liu He wouldn't hear anything.

He didn't know why his mother called.

But he knew that he had to answer the call.

If you don't answer, you will definitely be held accountable later.

This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice, and Chen Yuan has long been accustomed to it.

Now, he just wanted to deal with Liu He quickly, and then go back to persuade Jiang Ning, because she just asked about the future education of her children, didn't she? Since she asked, it means that she is considering it, and there is hope.

"Xiao Yuan, have you had dinner?"

There was some noise coming from the other end of the phone. It should be because Liu He was not at home. Her attitude had changed greatly compared to the last time they had a quarrel on the phone. Her tone was lively and seemed very cheerful.

"Not yet, Mom, what's the matter with you calling?" Chen Yuan said with his hand on the white railing in the corridor outside the ward.

He stared at an old man who was fishing not far downstairs.

The old man was leisurely sorting out the tangled silk threads.

"Can't I call you if nothing's wrong? You kid." Liu He yelled immediately.

"No, I didn't say that."

"You heartless brat, if I don't call you, you won't even call me for ten days or half a month, hiding everything from us."

"I do not have it……"

"Quibbling, Ningning and Yaoyao were both injured and hospitalized, and you didn't even tell me and your dad. If you had told us, you could at least go to the hospital to take a look. That way it would look good for our future in-laws to know, right?"

"Mom, how did you know?" Chen Yuan put the phone to his ear and his eyes gradually widened.

"Don't worry about how I know this. Anyway, your father and I are already at the high-speed rail station. It's May Day holiday, and there's nothing to do at school. We plan to go to Mingzhu City tonight to visit the two sisters. Are you in the hospital now?"

"Mom, calm down," Chen Yuan said anxiously, "The injury is not serious, it's just a minor operation. It's too hasty for you and my dad to come here now. It takes several hours by high-speed rail, and it will probably be midnight when we get here."

"It's okay if it's midnight, can't you just come pick us up?" Liu He said confidently, "We'll go directly to the hospital then. I'll take care of Ningning there for two days. Next Monday, we'll go to Kyoto to your dad's place to discuss the wedding. I've planned everything..."

Once she started talking, she talked nonstop and didn't give Chen Yuan any chance to interrupt.

"Mom..." He said helplessly, "Mom!!"

"Mom is here, stop shouting."

"It's useless for you to plan so well. Forget it. I'll tell you the truth," Chen Yuan said with a bitter face, "The engagement was originally about Yaoyao. Ningning didn't agree at all. You know that she doesn't want to get married, not to mention that your son wants her to marry Yaoyao together. Whether it will succeed or not is up to you. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"I'm not in a hurry? How many months has it been since I last went to Lanjing? I gave you time, but did you manage to get things done? You're screwed, how can I count on you? It would be better for me to ask Ningning in person what she thinks, and give her some advice, maybe there will be some hope."

He was accused by his mother.

Yet he could not lose his temper at all.

Strictly speaking, Liu He was not wrong. He had plenty of time, but he failed to convince Jiang Ning, which led to the current situation.

Despite countless attempts, the results are still minimal.

So Liu He was very anxious.

I can't just watch my daughter-in-law run away. After hearing Liu He's words, Chen Yuan was silent for a while.

After a long while, he sighed and said:

"You can ask, but don't put too much pressure on her, or it will be like forcing her to marry you."

"Of course I know that. I can communicate better than you."

"Okay then, call me when you're almost there and I'll pick you up at the high-speed rail station."

The phone hangs up.

Chen Yuan put the phone back into his pocket and stood there in a daze for a long time.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and the old man who was fishing also changed to a luminous float in order to see clearly.

Chen Yuan slowly walked back into the room.

open the door.

Jiang Yao was playing with her cell phone alone without saying a word, and Ning Ning on the other side was also silent.

"I'm back. My mother called just now." Chen Yuan sat down cross-legged and scratched his head. "She knew you were in the hospital and wanted to come and see us. We'll take the high-speed train tonight."

"what???"

The two sisters said in unison and turned their faces together.

"It's so late now, you can come another day, and Yaoyao and I aren't seriously injured, we're both alive and kicking, so there's no need for Auntie to come over, it's so tiring."

"I can't persuade him. He's already on the high-speed train with my dad," Chen Yuan explained, "Not only to visit you two, but more importantly to discuss the engagement. This time I came here to have a good chat. Then we can go to Kyoto together."

"That's it..."

Jiang Ning's face suddenly became a little stiff, and a strange emotion emerged in her eyes. It was unknown what she was thinking.

"I'll go make some arrangements and have someone drive a car over so I can pick them up in the evening. I'll also ask the hospital to prepare a nursing room. There are no hotels nearby... You guys can have the food delivered first. We'll eat after we've arranged it. It's already past seven."

After Chen Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and went out to make a phone call.

He was brought here by the driver, he didn't drive himself. Since Liu He told him to go there in person in the evening, he couldn't act like a big shot and ask the driver to pick him up like he did with others.

Chen Yuan left again.

The two sisters in the ward looked at each other.

Obviously shocked by this sudden news.

"Do you understand? The engagement really needs to be put on the agenda. Even your aunt will come over in person to talk about this matter." Jiang Yao reminded.

"But I haven't thought about it yet." Ningning bit her lip.

"If you really want to refuse, you might as well say it earlier and cut the Gordian knot. Don't let him keep worrying. It won't benefit anyone if it drags on," Yaoyao said angrily on behalf of Chen Yuan. "Now that my aunt is coming, we can take this opportunity to make it clear in person."

"I know... I know." Jiang Ning didn't look at her, but just repeated it twice with a frown.

"He has put so much thought into it. He just came to me and told me happily that he had a solution to the problem you raised. But you did this again. If you really don't want to do it, can you tell me clearly? Why do you keep him hanging? Are you happy to keep disappointing him?"

"Do you think I don't want him to be happy? But I don't know what to do. If I marry him, will there really be no problems in the future? I can't convince myself now. I make a decision every night, but I regret it the next morning. I feel very tired..." (End of this chapter)
