early morning.

Lin Juncai was finishing the company's financial statements in his study. He had an important project to discuss tomorrow, and the other party needed to conduct an audit.

At this moment, his wife, Yu He, walked into the study in her pajamas, came up behind Lin Jun, and gently massaged his shoulders.

"Wife, why aren't you asleep yet?" Lin Jun patted his wife's hand on his shoulder affectionately.

"Honey, there's something I'd like to discuss with you!" Yu He replied with a smile.

"What is it?" Lin Jun was a little surprised, wondering what his wife wanted to say at this time.

"Honey, you know how hard it was for my mom to raise me all by herself. She never remarried so she wouldn't suffer any more. Now that I'm grown up, married, and have left my mom, she often feels very lonely, so she started dating someone..." Yu He carefully considered her words.

"That's great news!" Lin Jun laughed heartily. "Mom is not even 50 yet, she really should find someone else, and I fully support her!"

"Honey, my mother found me today. She said she wants me to prepare a dowry for her..." Yu He continued.

Lin Jun laughed heartily, "Although it's unheard of for a daughter to prepare a dowry for her mother, we have the means. Why don't we give Mom that villa in Chuncheng Mountain Villa as their wedding home!"

That villa was worth 800 million, and Lin Jun gave it away without hesitation!

"Honey, my mother has specified the dowry she wants!" Yu He stopped what she was doing, because she felt Lin Jun's shoulders stiffen noticeably.

"What does Mom want?" Lin Jun's tone also changed slightly.

It's unheard of for a mother-in-law to want her married daughter to prepare a dowry for her; that's already outrageous. What's even more outrageous is that she specified the dowry!

This is absolutely outrageous!

Even if he loves his wife very much, he still has his own bottom line!

If my mother-in-law's appetite goes far beyond just one villa, that's absolutely unacceptable!

Even his beloved wife, he absolutely would not allow it!

His guiding principle has always been that a man will not let the woman he loves get hurt; but he also absolutely will not allow the woman he deeply loves to act recklessly!

"Honey, I don't know what kind of dowry Mom wants. She said if you have time tomorrow, could you not go to the company first? Mom and her fiancé will come to our house to talk to us!" Yu He explained even more carefully.

"Tomorrow won't work; I have a very important business negotiation to attend to!" Lin Jun paused for a moment, then continued, "However, tomorrow night is fine."

"Then I'll tell Mom tomorrow that we should go and rest!" Yu He tried to pull Lin Jun away from the study and back to the bedroom.

"You go to sleep first, I still have a lot of materials to prepare!" Lin Jun smiled slightly and replied to Yu He.

Yu He looked at Lin Jun with some surprise; he had rejected her for the first time!

However, Yu He did not continue thinking along these lines, and did not really think that Lin Jun still had unfinished materials.

"Then I'm going to sleep now, honey. Don't stay up too late." Yu He said, turning and leaving the study.

Watching Yu He's departing figure, Lin Jun fell into deep thought. He knew his wife all too well.

Although her love for herself was genuine, she had a fatal flaw: her wife, Yu He, was a mama's girl.

Lin Jun was very confident that when he and the other men made his wife choose, she would choose him without hesitation; her heart belonged only to him!

However, if Lin Jun were to put herself and her mother-in-law on opposite sides, she would have no confidence at all!

Tomorrow could very well be a turning point in my life. I wonder what kind of dowry my mother-in-law and her fiancé, whom I've never met, want.

If it weren't too outrageous, Lin Jun could reluctantly accept it, considering his past love with his wife.

However, if his mother-in-law and fiancé make exorbitant demands, Lin Jun will have to see how his wife chooses to act.

If she chooses his mother-in-law, then no matter how reluctant he is, he will have to let go!

I'm not optimistic about tomorrow's negotiation with my mother-in-law, because my wife has never spoken to me so cautiously before.

She was clearly trying to please me, afraid of making me angry, and of course, she wanted me to feel sorry for her so that I would agree to her mother's excessive demands tomorrow.

The more this is the case, the more it proves that the dowry his mother-in-law is demanding is definitely excessive!

Recalling the moments he shared with his wife, from their first meeting to falling in love and getting married, Lin Jun's eyes welled up with tears.

But in the end, he didn't let the tears in his eyes fall. Some things can only be chosen by the person involved, and once a choice is made, one must bear the corresponding consequences!

This is true for him, and it is also true for his wife!

Looking at the time, it was already 2 a.m., so Lin Jun went back to his bedroom to rest.

Early the next morning.

Yu He had already prepared breakfast.

Lin Jun also got up early, washed up, and went to have breakfast.

After taking only two bites, Yu He whispered, "Honey, Mom just called. She asked if we could meet a little earlier today. Her fiancé has been busy preparing for the wedding these past few days and is very tired. If we can meet earlier, he can relax a bit more!"

Lin Jun looked up at his wife and said calmly, "Honey, the business I need to discuss today is crucial to our company's survival, so I can't move it up. Please tell Mom I'm very sorry, or we can reschedule."

Yu He gently shook her head: "I think Mom is quite anxious because she said her wedding is approaching, so she wants to get the dowry she wants as soon as possible. Let's do it today, a little later is fine!"

Lin Jun lost all appetite and got up to leave the restaurant: "Wife, I'm going to work."

Watching Lin Jun walk away without turning back, Yu He bit her lip tightly.

She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she was about to lose something!

Was my decision the right one this time?

Should I stand on my husband's side?

But when she thought of what her mother had said to her yesterday, her initial hesitation instantly turned into determination.

"Xiaohe, your mother has devoted twenty years of her life to you. Now, all I want is for you to do something in return for me, to ensure my happiness in my later years. And you disagree? How can you be so selfish?"

Yu He felt as if her mother Yu Qingqiu's words were needles piercing her heart.

Although it was extremely painful, she had no strength left to argue.

"Husband, I hope you can understand me!" Yu He murmured to herself, "I know my decision will cause you a lot of pain, but I will definitely make it up to you, I will spend the rest of my life making it up to you!"
