Chapter 2585 You Deserve It!
A little while later, Zhan Yan made coffee for his third brother.
He poured two glasses, one for himself.
"Third Brother, the coffee is here."
Zhan Yue hummed in agreement, gestured for him to put it on the coffee table, and said to him, "I have to get to work. I need to pick up your eighth sister-in-law from get off work at noon. Go back and manage your company well. If you don't understand something, just ask."
"Don't plunge headlong into it; the business world can drown you at any time."
"Third Brother, I understand. After this experience, I will not dare to be careless again."
Zhan Yan's downfall this time was also related to his arrogance. He always thought he was very capable and that he was no less capable than his brothers.
Reality taught him a lesson; he was indeed too lazy.
"Ninth Brother, do you have someone you like?"
"No, I'm still young, I'm not thinking about it. You all get married after thirty, and I'll also consider marriage after thirty. Right now, I'll focus on my career and make money."
"I don't want to keep living under the halo of the ninth young master of the Zhan family. I hope I am Zhan Yan, Zhan Yan who has risen to the top through my own strength, instead of relying on the protection of the family."
Zhan Yue smiled and said, "It's good to be young. You can still have a few more years to enjoy yourself."
"Maybe I'll meet someone I like in a couple of years. If I do, I can get married early like Sixth Brother."
Zhan Yan does not resist marriage.
He's just young, so he's not in a hurry and will let things take their course.
When fate comes to him, he opens the door; when fate does not come, he remains still.
"Third Brother, you go ahead and get busy. I'll go back to work after I finish my coffee. Remember about the money, Third Brother? We'll get paid in a couple of days."
"Don't worry, the money that Third Brother promised to lend you will definitely arrive in your account."
Zhan Yue picked up his coffee, got up, walked back to his desk, and sat down to begin his workday.
After drinking his coffee, Lao Jiu quietly left.
The next day, he received the money his third brother lent him, and he no longer had to worry about being owed wages.
Time flies, students are starting their winter break, and the year is coming to an end.
Before the Lunar New Year, Zeng Xiaoya's grandparents, parents, and brothers all returned home.
However, they could only stay at home for three or four days before having to go back to work. They wanted to use the three or four days of vacation to resolve Zeng Xiaoya's marriage issues.
When the Zhan family learned that their prospective in-laws had returned, they immediately brought Zhan Yue and the betrothal gifts they had prepared in advance to the Zeng family in a grand procession.
The hall on the second floor of the Zeng family's house was filled with people and piled high with betrothal gifts sent by the Zhan family.
There was so much gold and silver jewelry that even they, who had seen the world, were dazzled by it. There were also many property deeds and car keys.
There is still a lot of cash.
The Zeng family members looked at the pile of betrothal gifts, and none of them said a word.
They remained silent, which made the third wife very nervous. She hurriedly asked Mrs. Zeng, "In-laws, is it because our family's dowry is not enough? Is there anything else we need? We will go back and prepare it right away. We will definitely not let Xiaoya suffer any injustice."
"Whatever others have, Xiaoya should have too; and what others don't have, Xiaoya should have as well."
The old lady also said to the old lady Zeng, "Yes, if there's anything else we need, just let us know, and we'll try our best to get it."
"No, it's nothing."
Mrs. Zeng quickly said, "We just think this bride price is a bit too much."
The third wife breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out she thought the bride price was too high, which scared her to death. She thought they were missing something.
She smiled and said, "It's not much. When my daughters-in-law came into the family, I prepared the same amount of betrothal gifts for each of them. I didn't favor any of them; it was all the same."
"What Lao Ba took out himself, that's his. I don't know how much he has."
Anyway, as the mother-in-law, she treats everyone equally; no matter which daughter-in-law enters the family, she prepares the same dowry.
Mrs. Zeng and her mother-in-law exchanged glances.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law expected the bride price from the Zhan family to be substantial, but they didn't expect it to be so generous.
The value of these betrothal gifts was equivalent to the entire fortune of the Zeng family.
No wonder they're the richest family; they're so generous.
However, the Zhan family's generosity also stems from their appreciation of Xiaoya's performance.
The Zeng family was already very satisfied with Zhan Yue, and now they are even more at ease, believing that Xiao Ya will be happy after marrying into the Zhan family.
Zeng Xiaoya quietly nudged the man beside her and whispered, "How much dowry have you prepared for me? It's too much."
“It’s not much, you deserve it. I paid 100 million myself, and my mom, my grandma, and my aunt added some. I think all the dowry together should be a few hundred million.”
“Our wedding home will still be the big villa I live in. In addition, I also bought you two villas with front and back yards. The two villas together are worth 100 million yuan, and there are also two new cars.”
"That's more than a hundred million."
Zeng Xiaoya said in a low voice, "Don't empty your family fortune."
"You also have a younger brother."
“I’m using my own money, not my family’s. My brother has his own career and can earn enough to support himself when he gets married. My family will also prepare the money for him to get married, so don’t worry.”
"My family won't give me all of their money."
Zhan Yue comforted Zeng Xiaoya, not wanting her to feel pressured.
“When my mother was helping us prepare, I gave her 100 million yuan to help her purchase jewelry. The villas and cars were not included in that 100 million yuan.”
Zeng Xiaoya: “…”
It feels like the 100 million he mentioned is about the same as her 10,000.
"Xiaoya, you don't need to feel guilty. When my brothers got married, the dowry they gave to my wives was about the same as ours. The elders in the family treat everyone the same. The only difference is the amount of money we personally pay."
"I'm sorry I don't have the same wealth as my brothers."
Zhan Yue felt that his personal wealth was not as good as his brothers', so when he took out money to pay for the bride price, he could not afford as much as his brothers, which made his Xiao Ya feel wronged.
He vowed that he would continue to work hard to earn and save money, and after marriage, he would never let Xiaoya lose to her sisters-in-law.
Zeng Xiaoya: "...I'm not aggrieved anymore, I'm just shocked by your generosity."
She thought that a dowry of tens of millions would be enough, but she didn't expect the Zhan family to offer hundreds of millions.
If they get married and have a banquet, wouldn't their wedding cost a lot of money?
Zeng Xiaoya was not poor, nor was her family, but compared to the wealthy Zhan family, Zeng Xiaoya felt that her family was still poor.
It's often said that poverty limits imagination, and that's certainly true. Without the money, you can't reach that level, and therefore you can't imagine it.
Zhan Yue held her hand, looking at her with gentle and affectionate eyes, "Xiaoya, you are worth everything I have. Don't worry, after we get married, I will continue to work hard to earn money and I will never let you lose to my sisters-in-law."
"I will never let you suffer. In this life, I will love you, cherish you, pamper you, and hold you in the palm of my hand. No one can compare to you."
Even after they have children, she will always be his number one priority.
After all, she was the one who would spend his life with him.
Zeng Xiaoya looked at him, her face full of emotion.
She felt his sincerity and his heartfelt sincerity.
Meeting Zhan Yue in this life is a blessing she earned in her previous life.
I am so fortunate.
Zeng Xiaoya leaned closer to him and rested her head on his shoulder.
Zhan Yue put his arm around her.
Together, we'll lean on each other and spend the rest of our lives hand in hand.
