"Shut up!"

This time, Zheng Weimin did not back down. Instead, he roared with red eyes.

"You brainless idiot! Go to the window and look down! Look carefully before you come back and talk to me!"

Chen Shufen was stunned by her husband's aura.

She instinctively shrank her neck, and although she was a little unhappy, she still walked to the balcony as instructed.

She peeked out and glanced down casually.

She froze at just one glance.

All I could see was the narrow street below my building.

That long line of extremely luxurious cars looked like a dragon.

Beside the convoy, a dozen burly bodyguards dressed in black suits and wearing sunglasses stood with their hands behind their backs.

This scene, which she had only ever seen in movies, was now unfolding right before her eyes.

Chen Shufen felt her legs go weak, and cold sweat instantly soaked her back.

She then realized that the "son-in-law" sitting on her sofa was not a fat sheep she could easily manipulate.

Instead, it is a ferocious tiger that will devour anyone it chooses.

A moment later, Chen Shufen returned with an embarrassed smile.

The arrogant and greedy look he had just displayed had vanished, replaced by an almost obsequious humility.

She stammered, "Um... Little Cao, oh no, Mr. Cao..."

"It's a blessing that you've done three lifetimes to be able to take a liking to our Xiaoxin."

"All this talk about betrothal gifts is feudal superstition and should be avoided."

"So you mean you don't want a bride price?"

Cao Kun smiled knowingly.

"No, I don't want it! I don't want a single penny of dowry! I just want you two to be happy together from now on!"

Chen Shufen shook her head like a rattle drum.

Her face was plastered with a fawning smile, as if afraid that Cao Kun would think she was the kind of person who sold her daughter.

Zheng Kexin was stunned when she heard this.

She will never forget it in her lifetime.

She brought her boyfriend from college home with her back then.

How my mother, her face flushed, slammed her fist on the table and stubbornly insisted on the dowry of 688,000 yuan.

Back then, my mother wouldn't budge an inch if I didn't pay her a penny.

Why is it that now that she's with someone richer, she doesn't want a single penny?

Cao Kun watched this scene with a playful smile on his lips.

Too lazy to point it out, he simply reached out and patted Zheng Kexin's shoulder, giving her a reassuring look.

He then led Batel and the others downstairs, leaving the family some private space for conversation.

With a click, the security door closed, and the footsteps faded into the distance.

Only after confirming that Cao Kun had really left did Chen Shufen's tense nerves finally relax.

She grabbed Zheng Kexin's hand and said seriously:

"You brat, listen to me!"

"When you go downstairs later, whatever you do, don't mention the bride price. Don't ask for a single penny! Understand?"

Zheng Kexin looked at her mother in disbelief: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"You didn't say this when I brought my ex-boyfriend home back then."

"Didn't you say back then that the bride price reflected the groom's attitude, and that even a penny less would be disrespectful to me?"

"Oh dear, why are you so slow to understand?"

Chen Shufen was so anxious that she stomped her feet, feeling a sense of disappointment and frustration.

"How can that be the same?"

"Back then, that poor boy only had that little bit of money to his name."

"But this one is different! This is a huge boss!"

A calculating glint flashed in Chen Shufen's eyes:

"People of this caliber all have terrible tempers."

"If we ask for those small sums of money, like tens or hundreds of thousands, and that angers him..."

What if he thinks our family is greedy and dumps you?

"Then we've really lost the watermelon while picking up a sesame seed!"

Zheng Kexin: "..."

Chen Shufen held her daughter's hand tightly, imparting her life experience:

"Your task now isn't to get that small dowry; it's to quickly win his heart!"

"As long as you stay with him, especially... if you can quickly give him a son or daughter."

"Then, with her son's birth, she'll be able to get whatever she wants. Forget hundreds of thousands, even tens of millions will be within her grasp!"

"Listen to your mother, have two more children. Then your later years, and the later years of our whole family, will be secure!"

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face before her, Zheng Kexin felt nothing but irony.

She pushed her mother aside and followed Cao Kun downstairs.

When I got downstairs, Cao Kun was leaning against his car, silently smoking.

Seeing her arrive, Cao Kun stubbed out his cigarette and said with a smile, "Why did you come down so soon? Shouldn't you spend more time with your parents?"

Zheng Kexin shook her head and flew into Cao Kun's arms like a swallow returning to its nest.

Only in Cao Kun's broad embrace could she feel a touch of home warmth.

"Honey, I want to go home..."

Zheng Kexin's voice was muffled.

Cao Kun understood what she meant; she wanted to go back to her home in the Magnificent Garden.

It seems that her home in Hongdu City caused her too much pain, leaving her with no attachment to it.

Cao Kun gently stroked her hair and said softly, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to take you home right away, don't worry."

After a moment, Zheng Kexin composed herself and got up from Cao Kun's arms.

Cao Kun noticed that her eyes were red.

He shook his head and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll arrange for someone to take care of your parents."

"They will enjoy their old age in peace, but as for becoming extremely wealthy... that's out of the question."

Zheng Kexin nodded upon hearing this; for her parents, this was perhaps the best outcome.

"Thank you, darling."

She finally stopped crying and smiled, giving Cao Kun a sweet kiss.

……

After resolving Zheng Kexin's matter, Cao Kun didn't let her continue to run around.

After all, she's pregnant, so it's safer for her to stay at home.

He led Fu Die and the remaining security personnel straight to Hongdu Airport.

The security checkpoint was cleared without any obstacles, and the group boarded a Gulfstream G650 that had been waiting for them.

The 17-seat luxury private jet was packed to the brim, with not a single extra seat left.

Just 55 minutes later, the plane landed smoothly at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport.

As soon as they landed, before they even stepped out of the cabin, Su Yue called right on time.

Su Yue first gave a brief report: "Boss, the acquisition of KK Live's shares is progressing smoothly."

"Because of Liu Peipei's growing influence, KK Live has been treating us well. They think we truly understand the live streaming industry."

"I have finalized deals with all the shares that are scattered on the market. In total, we have acquired 35% of the shares."

"Currently, 20% of the shares are held by an investment company called Genting Capital."

"Genting Capital?" Cao Kun raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, this company has a powerful background, backed by the Song family of Shanghai."

Su Yue's tone was somewhat grave: "I've tried communicating with them several times about acquiring the shares, but they haven't given any indication."

"The Song family of Shanghai..." Cao Kun murmured the name.
